Hrs.

church of Fort Wayne and the league of Bluffton, The contest will be continued during the remutaing part of the conference year, The object of thin plan is to bring about an increase in interest and attendance. The attendance of the local league for the past four Sundays has been as follows: February 12th, 78; February 19th, 117; February 26th, 127; March sth, union services at V. B. church. It is expected that the league room will be filled next Sunday night at which time the Hon. ('. J. Lutz, will deliver an address on the subject, "Vital Forces hi Civilization." o - STORK LINGERS HERE. The stork which has been making its home in this vicinity for several months, seems to like the place, and is inclined to linger longer. Among the recent gifts which it brought was a baby boy, left at the Gert Reynolds home Friday a. m. a bright baby girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Chronister. o A NEW AGENT. In Freight and Passenger Departments of Decatur Interurban. Clayton Schafer of Bluffton, who has served for some time as freight and passenger agent for the Marion, Bluffton & Eastern traction company, has taken a similar position with the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway company, with headquarters in this city. Mr. Schafer, who will enter upon his new duties here April Ist. will make this city his home and will move his family here durtag May. The old adage "There is nothing in a name.” has a few exceptions like every other rule, especially when there is more than one person that has the same name —so think Clyde Beam of Blue Creek township and Clyde Beam of St. Mary’s township. Trustee Frank Wechter of Blue Creek township had reported to the prosecuting attorney that Clyde F. Beam of Blue Creek township was delinquent in his dog taxes, and an affidavit was filed fa ’Squire J. H. Stone’s court against him. A constable went out and made the arrest, the man he arrested being Clyde Beam of St. Mary’s township. Mr. Beam gave bond for his appearance in the justice’s court and in the meantime secured Attorney D. B. Erwin to defend him, being absolutely certain that he was delinquent in no dog tax. When the case came up for trial it was shown fa a very short time that the wrong man had been arrested, the man from St. Mary’s instead of Blue Creek, who had the same name, hav- ’ ing been brought up. Messrs. Carl Moses and Tony Hackman, who have been spending the wtater here at their old homes, are preparing to return in the course of a few weeks to their farmland near Wntson, Saskatchewan. Canada, where they hava tract of 640 acres of fine farming land. Next week they will ship a car load of mules and farm implements to be used this summer in the cultivation of their land. The farming is done on a very extensive scale. They have about 800 bushels of clean seed wheat, which they expect to put out this season, in addition to the 300 bushels of seed oats and other grain. This of course will mean some work and the shipment of supplies sent next week will come in mighty handy in addition to the large equipment, consisting of steam plows and other things which they had on hand last year. Mr. Hackman may accompany the car to that place, but full arrangements regarding that have not yet been made. SHELVING IS READY. And Goods For New Store Are Already Arriving. The carpenters are making many fine changes in the Studebaker building. south of the interurban office, which about March 15th will be occupied by I. Bernstein and M. Flox, who are preparing to establish a dry goods store on that date. The shelving has all been placed and the display windows built in, ready for the stocking and the display. The goods for the store are already here, being at the depot ,and will soon be ready for arrangement in the building. Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein, whose wedding occurred last Sunday at South Bend, have arrived and will make this place their home, Mr. Bernstein to be in charge of the store. A young man named Britten, who came here a week ago from Fort Wayne and accepted a job as night eleik at the Murray hotel, caused some excitement at midnight Tues-’ (1 .,. night, When he robbed the register of something over twenty dollars, helped himself to a quantity of cigars, exact number unknown, and skipped. The fact was first discovered by the. night porter who reported the matter to Mr. Murray and quick action

was taken. Employe' sos the hotel were sent to the various depots am tho day porter, .Ifta McFarland, who went l > tile G. R. * loci'.td Hie man and took him in tow, Tho clerk, to evade arrest, returned the stolen money and was allowed to go free. He left for parts unknown. Wednesday a number of the cigars were also returned, he having left them at the depot. The young man expected to take the northbound train and was found just in ttaie to save the cash. — W ■ ■' - Fred Thtame, a well known fanser of Union township, about fifty-five years ol age, sunerea a broken right leg about 5 o’clock Wednesday evening, the result of a cave-ln of a ditch in which he had been working. Mr. Thieme was in the ditch, which was about four or five feet deep, laying some tile, when the cave-in occurred, crushing his leg ta such away that both bones of the right limb were broken, just above the ankle. Mr. Frank Kurber, a neighbor, working with him and he got the injured man out and took htai to his home. Dr. Beavers being called from this city to attend the unfortunate man. He is resting well today and is on the way to recovery. The leg was broken in such away that the broken bones protruded through the flesh. Dr. W. E. Smith returned at 1 o’clock from the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne, where he assisted Dr. Duemling in performing the operation at 9 o’clock thfe morning on B. W. Sholty of this city, who had been at the hospital since last Sunday afternoon. The operation was not so serious as anticipated, being for an ulcerous condition of the bladder, with complications. He passed through the ordeal remarkably well, and when Dr. Smith left at noon he was getting along very well. Those present at the time of the operation were his wife, his sister, Mrs. McFarren, and husband of Roanoke, and Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Moore of this city. o The teachers of the Decatur schools have received from O. L. Rogers, pennmanship supervisor of the Fort Wayne schools, a letter asking that the pupils of the Decatur schools contribute to the pennmanshfa exhibit, at the Northern Indiana Teachers’ association to be held in Indianapolis in April. Professor Rice and the teachers took the matter up and decided to do so. and among the exhibits in this department at the convention will be a book, samples of the writing from each grade of the city schools, including also the freshmen of the high school. Each book will contain about forty pages and will nave a uniform binding. From what we have seen of the pennmanship samples of the Decatur pupils they are just about proper, and we do not doubt will find that they will rank among the best in the exhibit. There will be no prizes awarded, the exhibit being merely to show a comparison of the work done at the different schools. o FACTORY WANTS TO COME HERE H. L Merry, agent for the G. R. & I. has received a communication from E. O. Wagner commercial agent for that road, stating that the C. H. Mooney cut glass factory, now located at Chicago would like to take up the proposition of locating in this city. They would employ- one hundred men. The Business Men's League have taken the proposition up and will secure further details. According to an article in this morning's Geneva Herald, the proposed establishment of the new mitten or glove factory at that place by the Decatur men, is having trouble in getting located, and it is not yet an assured thing. According to the arti>cle, the Hutton building had been at first decided upon, but the machinist and manager decided that this w-ould not accommodate their inachtaery properly. The installing of an elevator and various other changes would be required, but the owners of the building did not feel justified in making these as the factory men seemed unwilling to contract for a room for a year. They then looked around for another room and A. G. Briggs was prevailed upon to let them have the room over his buggy and implement room, and men were at work on the removing of the partitions and making the necessary changes, when some one telephoned to the promoters at this city that should the factory be located in the Briggs building it would cause the withdrawal of some from contributing to the inducement fund. Work, it fe said, was immediatelystopped on the making of the changes and it is not yet known what will be done about locating the factory. Joseph Tonnelier, whom it is said was interested in the factory, stated this morning that he had considered the matter, but had finally- taken no stock in the concern. - —— The commissioners of Grant county, of which Marion is the county seat, created the greatest surprise of the

"local option season" Wednesday, when they deciided that sixty-five file gal votes had been cast in one precinct of the city and this turned the "wot’’ victory of thirty-five to a “dry ' victory. The alleged crooked work was done tn tho Johnston precinct t, the Second ward. The announcement came as a bolt out of a clear sky to the "wets" and was particularly exciting because thirteen notices of application for licenses bad just been published fa one of the papers of Marion. The newspapers of that city announced the decision in special editions. The grand Jury has been called to meet March 27th, and will take up the question of illegal voting. It is claimed that 809 more votes were cast In Marion at the local option election that were cast at the last city election. Neither side has made a statement, but it is assured that the fight will be a hard one. and that at least no licenses will be granted at the April term of court. o ■ Indfanapolife, Ind., March 9 —The sixty-seventh general assembly ta now a matter of history. It lias alreadybeen decreed by both men who ought to know, and by newspapers whose business it is to know, that this legislature was above the average. Both the Indianapolis News and Sun have taken the opportunity to say some very complimentary things about the legislature and the majority party, who is compelled to assume the burden of responsibility for the good, bad and indifferent legislation that found its way through the grind of a sixty-one-days session. The democrats of Indiana have every reason to feel that they come through with colors flying, and with added respect and confidence from the great electorate that comprises the state, and who expect that the political party they support shall show themselves equal to the affairs of state or nation. The Indiana democrats had played the minority part so long that more or less fear was expressed that they would meet their Waterloo when it comes to managing affairs as a majority party. This fear is now entirely dispelled. They acted with both wisdom and unity, and when it became absolutely necessary to use the log roller, every democrat lined up for the roller. Thus they acted in unison and showed the public that division and hostility is now an unknown quantity among the Indiana democracy. All party pledges were relented and besides that some mighty excellent legislation was enacted. The most of this legislation was in the interest of the people. No legislation was enacted that benefited corporation interests, and the nearest this legislature came to aiding and abetting them was in not enacting into law two or three measures which they opposed. It was a powerful lobby that assailed the Grube referendum bill, and to the lasttag disgrace of the minority that party was lined up solid with the lobby. There may not be much merit to the referendum as a principle, but every member of the Indiana legislature should have voted for the Grube bill, on account of the corrupt lobby that drove it to its death. But it is likely that the next legislature will have more and better defined ideas on the referendum and they will give it more and better consideration than did the general assembly just closed. The volume of Indiana acts for 1911 will be as large, if not larger, than any volume ever written by an Indiana legislature. Two years ago the laws enacted numbered one hundred and eighty-nine and make about five hundred pages. This year the number of laws enacted will exceed three hundred, and it is estimated that it will at least make o book of eight hundred pages. Notwithstanding this fact an effort is being made at the office of secretary of state to have the acts ready for distribution as soon or sooner than they have ever been before. Whether they will succeed with this I undertaking depends on the state printer, as it is probable that before the end of this week the copy for the . entire edition will be placed in the printer’s hands. • Certified copies of the recent laws is the order of the day at the secrei tary of state’s office. Apparently 1 nearly every one in the state wants a 1 copy of some of the acts passed, and they are especially strong on the Proctor option and regulation laws. It is perhaps a fact that the emergency clause Is attached to more acts than ever before. It seemed to be a fad wilth every one who presented a bill that it should be completed with I a paragraph placing it in full force > and effect on and after its passage. Hon. Jacob Butcher, who represented Adams county in the legislature, ! left yesterday for his home at Geneva. His record in the legislature has been a creditable one, and al) during the session he had the confidence of hfe fellow-workers in the legOhiTdren Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CAST O R I A

LEASED STUDEBAKER HOME. Ed Ahr, who for some time has been a resident of this city, has leased the Studebaker homestead, just east of this city, and will move to that place within two weeks. He still retains the ownership of his residence on Fourth street, and has this for rent. Mr. Ahr's sister, Miss Nora Ahr, will make her home with them. FELL TO STREET. Electric Light Wouldn’t Burn and Mishap Occurred. The street light at the corner of Fourth and Monroe streets had to be replaced Monday morning owing to the mtehap which occurred on Sunday evening. For some cause or other the light was not burning and when Jacob Eady, who has charge of the city’s work, came along and noticed the condition, he jerekd the wire and it fell to the street. It was replaced today and will be ready for use this evening. o In the matter of the petition of Hattie Studebaker et ai. to vacate the alley south of the Central school building, C, J. Lutz and Hooper & Lenhart appeared for remonstrators. The objections were filed by Estella Thomas, Lizzie Gregory, Trustees of First Baptist church and Jennie Fuhrman. Laura A. Foughty vs. Charles K.
