WILL VISIT HIS DAUGHTER. E. S. Moses to Sunday in ChicagoMiss Moses Returns to Hospital. Ed S. Moses left last night for Chicago for an over-Sunday visit with his daughter, Miss Gertrude, who has been suffering with rheumatism for a year past, and who is in that e ty for treatment. During the past week she has not been so well, her return to St. Luke hospital being necessary. It is believed by the family that t e back-set was caused by the weather, which has been very severe in Chicago the past weak, and that a few sunny days may improve her more than anything «!»•■

James Spado of Fort Wayne, who until about a year ago, was a resident of thin city, Sunday underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Hope hospital alter but a day's illness. On Saturday he was In this city for a visit with .Jgjs brother-in-law, ixiuis Weis, eating his dinner here, and shortly afterward complained of a severe pain. As the time went on and the pain did not. lessen, he returned home on the afternoon train, and at once called a physician. He was at once advised by Dr. McOscar, upon examination, to prepare for an operation, which took place at 3:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, one hour and twenty minutes being necessary to complete the ordeal. The operation was a somewhat difficult one, owing to the fact that the appendix hal almost entirely decayed, and with the intestine had been buried somewhat underneath the bowels, making it very hard to get at. Three other physicians assisted Dr. McOscar, and although It was a very severe siege for Mr. Spade to undergo, he withstood it quite well and it is thought will recover from his illness without any trouble. Since leaving this city he has been employed as a brakeman on the Grand Rapids & Indiana, passing through this city several times each week. He had been in the best of health up until the day previous, and the greater portion of the time that he spent here was 1 excellent condition, and his sudden change was unknown to all. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Weis, and sons, Adam and Louis, who were present at the operation, returning home late last evening, and stated that outside of being very weak, he was as well as could be expected. Mr. Louis Weis, sr., who was at the bedside of Mr. Spade, when the operation took place, returned home Monday and stated that he was not rest-, ing so well and that his condition was somewhat worse than Sunday evening. The many relatives are anxiously awaiting the outcome. o ■ — Beginning Monday and continuing thirty-one days, the local postoffice—as well as all others over the country —will have one of the busiest months ever experienced, as the postoffice authorities have issued orders that every piece of mail passing through the office shall be weighed and counted. Often orders have been received, requiring this to be done for a week or ten days or so, but never in the history of the local office has the requirement been for so long a period. This is done that a rate can be secured upon which the payment of railroads for carrying the mail can be based. There will be no extra helpers during this period for the local office, but Fort Wayne and others of the larger cities have been given an extra force to fulfill the requirements. While every effort will be made to handle the mail as rapidly as possible, it will in all probability mean that mails will move slowly during this month. Not only must it be weighed and counted as a whole but each carrier and clerk must weigh and count that handled by him as an individual. This must be done to separate classes. SHIP FIVE HORSES. The firm of Frisinger & Sprunger has sold another bunch of horses to go to diffetent parts. Mr. Sprunger, who has been in the northwest for several days, has succeeded in selling three and they will be shipped today. They go to a horse company at Sisseton, South Dakota. One goes to Michigan to John C. Johnson, a former Van Wert county man, and is the second horse he has bought from the local firm. They have also sold a Belgian to Baker & Stevenson, of Alexandria, and are pleased to state that this is the fifth horse these people have bought in the Decatur market this year. NO HOPES FOR JACOB BUTCHER. 'Squire F. S. Armantrout of Geneva was here today enroute to Michigan, where he will look after business. He reports the condition of Representative Jacob Butcher as being very serious, and it is doubtful if he can live more than twenty-four hours. He Is suffering from hardening of the liver, and there is said to be no hope for his recovery. Mr. Butcher is one of the best known men of the county. _— o — Somewhat disappointed were the ball players, as well as the many rooters, who journeyed to Kokomo Sunday morning, when they returned home in the evening after meeting defeat at the hands of the fast. Kokomo base ball team, whom they expected to win over previous to the game. Just what the real cause of their defeat was they are unable to explain, out think that they have not naa enough chance at the ball this season, and with a little more grit and work-outs will be better prepared for the carrying on of the game. The- day was a gloomy one from the very beginning and just when they began playing a heavy drizzling rain began to cover the diamond, making the game somewhat slow and not what they wished It to be. The

score, eleven to four, hung heavy on the minds ot the locals, and they played hard to change it, but to no avail. Hard luck Is what they believe lost the game, and several costly errors, which always meant runs put their opponents in the lead so far that they could not be headed off. Charles Burk of Geneva, who pitched, rendered excellent work, and should he have received the proper support, the game would have been altogether different. Fifteen or twenty rooters accompanied the players and they were treated royally by the Kokomo boys. Next Sunday they go to Kendallville, when they expect to have a reversed story to tell. "■ o - ABOUT THE BICK. George Keller, who last week was very sick with tonsilltis, and which kept him in the house for some time, and about three days scarcely being able to swallow even a fluid of any kind, was able to be down the street today for the first time, and is feeling much better. It was a very severe siege and he does not care to have it return in that manner again. Ex-Sheriff Albert Butler Sunday afternoon was the victim of an acute attack of appendicitis and for several hours the constant attention of a physician was necessary to quiet the pain. This morning he was reported as being somewhat better but still very weak. Jacob Blotzine, an employee of the Fort Wayne Hardware company, was in the city Sunday to call upon Dr. Clark, who some time ago removed a facial growth for him, and which is now entirely healed, and pronounced a complete success. Mr. and Mrs. Elzey Allen will go to Fort Wayne tomorrow to call on Mrs. Allen’s aunt, Mrs. Will Moore, formerly of this city, who on Thursday will be operated upon at the St. Joseph’s hospital for tumor. o At a meeting of the county board of education held Monday at the office of L. E. Optiger, county superintendent of schools, Caleb Andrews of Washington township, was elected truant officer for the year, beginning August first, mese were two applicants, the other being Aaron C. Augsburger of Berne, the election being seven to six in favor of Mr. Andrews. Mr. Augsburger has served three years as truant officer, doing his duty well and faithfully. At this meeting it was decided to hold another county commencement, and while tnts will be held in June, the exact date nas not yet been determined. The various trustees made the enumeration report to Mr. Opliger, but the report will not be given out for publication until Mr. Opliger has had the opportunity of going over the lists and giving them his o. k. The reports however, show a general loss in the number of children of school age over the county, and while some townships have gained, others have lost. Other matters pertaining to legal questions and school affairs were discussed and the meeting in general was a very pleasant one. All the trustees and the presidents of the school boards were in attendance except three, one from French, Geneva and Berne.

Decatur has never seen a lovelier bride, both in appearance and personality, than Fannie DeVllbiss Cole, whose wedding to Mr. Earl Brockway Newton of Detroit, Mich., was solemnized at high noon Monday at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Florence DeVllbiss, on Madison street. The wedding which was a very quiet one, was solemnized by the Rev. G. B. Work of Warren, a tormer pastor of the Methodist church of this city, and an old friend of the family. The ring ceremony, marked with Impressive beauty, was used, and the wedding was otherwise characterized by exceeding simplicity. The only witnesses besides the bride's mother, Mrs. DeVilbiss, were the groom’s mother, Mrs. Mary Newton, ot Cleveland, Ohio; his sister, Mrs. Gertrude Mallory and son, Newton, of Cleveland, Ohio, and his aunt, Mrs. Monroe Fitch, of Fort Wayne. The bride is a young lady of exceeding grace and beauty and her loveliness was more enhanced by the simple white embroidered frock which she wore as her wedding gown. Following the ceremony a dinner was served in the dining room. The centerpiece of the table was a large gold wicker basket, filled with bride’s roses, and at each plate lay one of those pretty flowers, all the appointments of the table being dainty and pretty and appropriate as becomes a bridal affair. Mr. and Mrs. Newton left at 3:17 this afternoon over the G. R. 1., for Fort Wayrje, thence on an eastern trip, after which they will be at home in Detroit, where Mr. Newton is engaged in business as a manufacturer. Mrs. Newton’s going away gown was a handsome black satin tailored costume. The bride was one ot the most popu-

lar young ladles of the city, a lady in whom many accomplishments, graces and virtues centered, and there is genuine regret on every side ovei her leaving the city. The groom is a nephew of the Rev. W. 11. Adams, formerly of this city, and of Mrs. Monroe Fitch of Fort Wayne, anti is well known, both here and at Fort Wayne. He is an enterprising business man, of many excellent qualities. - HOFFMAN FUNERAL. The funeral of Paul, the little twoweeks old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hoffman of Preble, whose death occurred on Thursday afternoon last, was held Sunday afternoon from the home at 2 o'clock, and later from the Lutheran church. The services were I in charge of the Rev. Koch, pastor of; the church there. Interment was made at the church cemetery. e A FAMOUS SERMON. “Seven Steps Up and Seven Steps Down” at Pleasant Grove. Rev. Knisely of Monroeville will preach his famous sermon, “Seven Steps Up and Seven Steps Down” at the Pleasant Grove church northeast ; of this city, next Saturday evening. May 6th. Many will want to hear this j sermon and a most interesting even I ing is anticipated. — .p BARBER SHOP CHANGES. Frank Carroll, Formerly in the Elzey & Carroll shop on Monroe street, has leased the barber shop in the Reiter & France cigar store, where ha will operate a shop. The shop in question has changed hands several times in the recent past and the former manager, Chauncey Andrews, will aaaume the position vacated by Mr. Carroll at the Elzey shop. ■ o The Foughty divorce case, which has been on trial off and on for several weeks, and wmen was discontinued Saturday even ng, was taken up this morning again before Judge Merryman and at the time of going to press, the witnesses were still giving evidence. The case will probably be concluded this afternoon. Deputy Clerk D. O. Roop made his monthly marriage licence report Monday to Dr. J. M Miller, secretary of the county health board, showing twelve licenses returned during April. Fourteen licenses were issued during the month. Rufus K. and Catherine Allison, executors of the Robert B. Allison estate, filed petition to sell personal property at private sale, which the court granted, and ordered a sale of bonds as prayed for, at private sale, without notice, for cash at not less than the appraisement. The state case against Orval VVqlls, for provocation, which was set for trial today, was continued by agreement and the recognizance bond continued. The case of the state against Ed Neadstine et al., for disturbing meeting, was also continued. Today is the last day for taxpaying without the penalty. Saturday was probably the heaviest day of the season, nearly $20,000 having been taken in by County Treasurer C. W. Yager and assistants. The force was also busy yesterday, handling the mail order receipts, which ran up as high as SIO,OOO. It is expected that today's receipts will be equally as heavy as Saturday's, though there is still a lot that will go delinquent. Sheriff T. J. Durkin made a business trip to Sturgis, Mich., looking for a faithless lover of an Adams county young lady, but as the lover agreed to compromise matters, no proceedings were begun against him. Marriage licenses: Mary R. Balsiger, 22, saleslady of Berne, daughter of Christian and Maria Balsiger, to wed Rufus O. Soldner, 32, traveling salesman of Berne, son of Samuel and Sarah Soldner; Fannie DeVillbiss Cole, 30, daughter of A. L. and Florence DeVllbiss, to wed Earl B. Newton. 37, manufacturer of Detroit, son of John T. and Mary Newton. » Several of the criminal cases which were set for trial this week have been postponed on account of the fact that L. C. DeVoss, one of the attorneys interested therein, will, with his son, Frank, leave Thursday for California, for the benefit of the son’s health. The case of the State vs. Dr. Brayton, of Geneva, for the alleged selling of liquor unlawfully, will be tried tomorrow before a jury. Real estate transfers: Mary E Richard to A. B.

Rule to answer. o Those who accompanied the ball team to Kokomo Sunday returned home in the evening, while several remained over until this morning. Although the locals put up a good game they met defeat at the hands of the fast Kokomo team. This being the first game of the season, the team has plenty of time to strengthen their weak spots and will put in much time practicing so as to be in better condition for the game next Sunday, when they play Kendallville. - - —o — NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF DECATUR COMMERCIAL CLUB The annual meeting of the members of the Commercial club will be held at the office of C.

Last Wednesday was the closing day for the Gerke school, six miles northwest of the city in Root township, where Miss Carrie Dowling has been the teacher, and the day will not soon be forgotten. A program appropriate for the closing day was prepared by the pupils and which was rendered in a very pleasing way, and the many visitors who were present were more than pleased with the good results wrought by the scholars. ■' ■ « — GOES TO INDIANAPOLIS.
