RUNNING IN TWO WEEKS. Will be the New Colter Saw Mill at Rivarre. Henry Colter, the well known lumber man of Bobo, left this morning for Fort Wayne, where he will make arrangements for securing the remainder of the necessary machinery to be installed in his new mill at Bobo or Rivarre. This mill is being rebuilt on Ue site of the old one, which, stroyed by fire last winter. It is near lnR -completion and will be running again In probably two weeks. This Is the second mill rebuilt by Mr. Colter within a few years.

The affidavit against the man, Lester Cook, alias "Shirk,” the follower of Gollmar Bros.' show, who has been in jail since Thursday evening for a brutal assault upon twelve-year-old Floyd Monday, was filled Saturday in the Adams circuit court by Prosecutor R. C. I’arrish. The affidavit, which is in two counts, was made by Jesse J. Hurst, of the first of the many who were attracted to the scene of the attempted crime by the cries of the boy. The first count charges the man, Cook, with as sauTt and battery, and violent injury, with Intent to commit sodomy upon Floyd Monday, and the second with beating and striking him in an insolent and angry manner. the offenses occurring Thursday, May 18th. A warrant was issued about 10 o’clock this morning, returnable forthwith, the man’s bond being fixed at SI,OOO. He was brought into court at once, heavily hand-cuffed, and a motion made by him to quash the affidavit as to each count. Upon arraignment he pleaded not guilty to each count and A. P. Beatty was appointed by the court to defend him as a poor person, the case being set for trial, Friday, May 26th. He was kept heavily hand-cuffed during his appearance in court, except for a few minutes, when Judge Merryman talked to him. The man gave his name today as Lester Cook, though he is said to be the same man, who about three years ago conducted the scenic railway at the fair grounds here, having taken out the privilege under the name of "Shirk.” He gave his home as Baraboo, Wis., this being the name of the city where the Gollmar Brothers’ show spends its winters. The man stated to the court this mornifig that if he committed the crime of which he is accused, he surely did it when under the influence of intoxicating liquor, as no man ' in his right senses would commit so detestable a crime. o- ■■■— ROGATION PAYS. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week are known as rogation days and a time which is observed with special service at the St. Mary’s church. It is a time when God's choicest blessings are asked upon the fruits of the earth and that the people share a bountiful harvest. High mass, witn procession in the church, will constitute the service of each of the three days. o To a class standing thus upon the threshold of a broader, more real "commencement” of life, is rarely given so great a privilege and pleasure of a service so full of beauty and inspiration for the new life, as the baccalaureate service Sunday evening at the Methodist church for the seniors of the Decatur high school. All the churches of the city, one in the thought of thus doing honor to and giving this class an evening pre-emi-nently theirs, dispensed with their several evening services, joining in a union meeting at this time, and the main auditorium, the Sunday school rooms and the gallery of the church were filled to the doors. Space had been reserved, however, in the middle front for the seniors and the juniors, and it was to this place after the congregation had assembled, that these two classes, ushered by Superintendent E. E. Rice, marched, and took their places. The seniors were attired in regulation caps and gowns and looked very dignified and stately. A beautiful ptipeiorgan prelude, George F. Vincent’s Meditation in Aflat, with Miss Frances Merryman at the organ, opened the service, being followed by a hymn, the recital of the apostles’ creed, and then an earnest prayer by Rev. William H. Gleiser of the Presbyterian church. An anthem by the choir, Nelson's “Jesus and Shall it Ever Be?” was very appropriately given, and the responsive reading of the Scripture from the psalter, pertaining to education, was a fitting link between this and the reading of the scripture by the Rev. I. Imler of the United Brethren church, who took as lesson, the nineteenth Psalm, which closes with David's beautiful prayer, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” Gradually, beautifully and harmoniously, each part of the service, led step by step in thought to the sermon of the evening, "Vision and Vim,” by the Rev. Raymond L. Semans, pastor of the Methodist church. His text was taken from Acts 10:19-20, “While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him. Behold, three men seek thee. Arise, there- 1 fore, and get thee down and go with I them, doubting nothing: for I have sent thee.” The sermon was a masterly one, of, the highest conception, yet linked with the greatest practicability—one conceived of a most sublime vision, but nurtured with wisdom and brought to a fruitful maturity for practical good. He opened by stat-, ing that the prophet spoke truly and (

wisely when he said that verily, the young men shall see visions and the old men dream dreams. Where there are no visitns the people perish. When the prophet spoke thus, however, of “seeing visions," and "dreaming dreams" be did not mean, as Riley’s poem expresses it, “seeing things at night," such as follow a late mince pie revel, but looking forward to the future, the “angel of the ideal.” All great achievements are born of visions. The beautiful cathedral of Milan, Italy, In its enduring, though seemingly fragile beauty, was once but a vision in the mind of the architect; America, with is freedom of speech, worship, liberty and its great schools and all its other Institutions, was once but a vision; the great free educational system of our country, the best in the world, was once but a vision, beginning with the donation of a peck of corn from each family for the support of Harvard university; the great religion of love that should encircle the world was the vision of the Great Carpenter of Nazareth. Every great character that the world has ever seen, is the unfulfilled dream of youth. The architect must have a dream of his great building; the soldier must have a vision of his campaign; the farmer must have a vision of his crops; the merchant must have a vision of his profits and losses; the student a vision of his future life, before the results can be accomplished. Great men have dreamed dreams. While Roosevelt was watching his cattle on the frontier, he was no doubt dreaming of a greater future; while Carey, the great missionary, was working at his cobbler’s bench, he had maps of the world upon the wall, dreaming of them and the great need of salvation of its peoples. Youth is the time for ideals. Some people have one person for an ideal, working toward that end; others have a composite ideal, taking the best characteristics from many people. It is first necessary to dream out what you are to live, not only, your profession or business, but your character. But it is not alone the “seeing" of visions that makes the great person. He must work out those dreams. He must have the vision of results. The sculptor saw in the rough marble a vision, and chipped out a beautiful Image. The student sees before him the vision of the results of study, but there are no magical gold dust twins to work out the way for him —he must study and dig it out for himself. Darwin, the great naturalist, wrote his great book, “The Origin of Species,” after twenty years of research and five years of labor in writing; Tennyson wrote his great poem, “In Memoriam,” after seventen years’ dreaming and labor; Moses needed to come down from his years of preparation in solitude to lead the people into.the better life; Christ came down from the glories of the Mount of Transfiguration to help the poor, ignorant people; came down from the solace of the Mount of Prayer to toil; came forth from the shadow of the ministering angels to walk to the cross — all for the sake of the fulfillment of his glorious vision. The minister then eulogized the free schools of our country as the gratest means toward the working out of visions. He spoke of the great good they are doing in making American citizens of the children of the immigrants, of the placing of great ideals before the pupils and directing them how to' best work out their achievement, equipping them for the task, and giving them strength of mind to do the things. He told of the crystals made by a fusion of sand, salt, carbon, coke, etc., after heating in a great fire, and which are second in hardness and cutting power to the diamond. The results of a great life, he stated in comparison, are obtained by using the right materials and putting them through the fire to strengthen them. We should know ourselves, and take the pattern of the Christ to climb to our ideals. There are two difficulties that lay in the way of the realization of our ideals —we too often do not like to tlimb and neglect to do so; and then again we lose sight of the vision become near-sighted and see only the little nearby things. Keep working—even though the angel of death summon us in the prime of life—let him find us at work carving out the life way. The excellent address was followew by the singing of the “Work For the Night is Coming." Mrs. J. O. Sellemeyer gave an excellent rendition of “The Ninety and Nine,” and the music rendered by the special 1 choir was very pleasing. The doxoli ogy was the closing congregational selection, and the services closed I with the benediction by the Rev. i Ehle, pastor of the Baptist church. The baccalaureate services for the class of 1911 will always be an inspir- ' ing memory. FORT WAYNE HAD BIG FIRE. A fire which burned the entire day i

destroyed the Mayflower mills on Columbia street at Fort Wayne Sunday. The loss is $200,006. Th? fire was so hot that the Are companies could do but little to check the flames. Several firemen were slightly hurt. Many people from Decatur, hearing of the fire, went to tbe city and watched the battle several hours. Those who lost in the big blaze were the Mayflower company, S. Bash & Co., Bohn company, McPhail company, Schock Tailoring company, Standard Oil company, Fisher Bros., Mossiman, Yarnelle company, Vorndran flour mills, and others. All excepting the Mayflower company have the loss covered. They lost $150,000, with Insurance for $87,000. , o . — — , Jay Elzey, a well known young man, formerly a resident here, met with death Monday at 2:30 a. m. in an accident on the Pennsylvania lines. No details of the accident are available at this time, except that he was crushed between two engines in the Fort Wayne yards, death occuring instantly. His father went to Fort Wayne this noon and other relatives will go as soon as possible. He leaves besides a grief-stricken wife, a father, Alfred Elzey, a brother, Lawrence, now employed in Fort Wayne, and a sister, May, wife of Russel Andrews, of this city. He was a member of the Odd Fellws’ lodge and the Ben Hur order, and when residing in Fort Wayne kept his membership here, as it was always his intention to return here to live. No funeral arrangements have been made, but without a doubt he will be brought here for burial. He was employed as a locomotive fireman and had been in the service for over a year, was about twentyeight years old, and was liked and admired by all who knew him.

DURING VACATION. Clem Steigmeyer Will Work For the Perin Publishing Co, Clem Steigmeyer, one of the high school graduates of this year, has already seleceted his business, which he will follow out during the next three months of vacation before he leaves to attend the Indiana University in the fall to better prepare himself for a chosen profession which he expects to follow after a several year’s course at Bloomington. He has taken a position as solicitor with the Perin Publishing company of Cincinnati, good for eighty-eight days, selling the one-volume library, and will leave to take up his new duties on next Monday. This is a branch of their main establishment located at Chicago, and to just what territory he will be assigned is unknown to him. That he will be successful in his undertaking is almost beyond a doubt, as he is well qualified for the work and fond of soliciting. The best wishes for his success are extended to him 'by bis many friends. — l-o — — POLICE COURT NEWS. John Evans, who was arrested Saturday morning on a plain drunk charge, was given a trial Saturday evening at which time he was found guilty and assessed a fine of SI.OO and costs, which made $ll.OO in all. Marshal Peterson arrested Hugh Daniels, Erie agent at Bobo, Sunday on a charge of provoke. It is alleged that Daniels was in Decatur and that in some manner he became excited in an altercation with Louis Simeon, and called Simeon names which were not gentlemanly, hence the charge was filed and a warrant issued and the arrest made before Daniels could get away. He was brought up and gave bond for his appearance before 'Squire Stone at 7 o’clock tonight, at which time the trial will be held. . ——o ■ - - — The body of Henry Wertzberger,' born and reared in this city, but who for the past ten years has lived at Hammond, arrived here Sunday evening on the four o’clock interurban car from Logansport, where his death occurred Saturday morning. Mr. Wertzberger had been ill for the past two years, suffering from eye trouble, and supposedly a growth in the head, which brought on brain trouble, and he was later taken to the Longcliffe asylum at Logansport. Treatment there, however, proved unavailing. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wertzberger of Hammond, former residents of this city, and it was here that he was born thirtyone years ago last October 30th. He was married July 4, four years ago to Miss Ida Addy of Chicago, also a former resident here, and the wife, with two little children —Wilma, aged three, an Lena, aged two —survive. The father, George Wertzberger, arrived Saturday evening to make arrangements for the burial here, and the wife of the deceased, with his mother, Mrs. George Wertzberger, and

his two brothers, Frank and Al, of Hammond, accompanied the remains to this city Sunday. The body was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Clarence Baughman, on Eighth street, from which place the funeral was held Monday afternoon at 4, the services being in charge of the Rev. Imler, pastor of the United Brethren church, and the Rev. L. C. Hessert, pastor of the German Reformed church. Burial took place in Maplewood cemetery. The following brothers and sisters are bereaved: George of this city; Frank, Alva, Charles, Lawrence and Robert of Hammond; Mrs. Clarence Baughman of this city. Mr. Wertzberger was one of a class of twelve who was confirmed sixteen years ago at tne German Reformed church, under the pastorate of the Rev. Vitz, and he was the first one of this large class to pass away. Other members of the confirmation class are: Mrs. Fred Reppert, Mrs. O. L. Vance, Mrs. Fred Heuer, Mrs. Reuben Lord, Mrs. Anna Yaney, Mrs. John Spuller, Carl Schiefer, Ollie Linn, Carl Conrad, Louis Weis and Arthur Streit. ; o Louis Keller, one of Monroe’s business men, and Mrs. Keller and daughter figured in quite a runaway Sunday, toward evening, and that they escaped with such little injury Is considered miraculous. They had gone to the home of Mrr. Keller's brother, Ira Baker, to spend a few hours and whilfc returning to their home, a mile on this side of their town, the horse which they were driving took fright at a passing automobile, and in the mix-up thre three occupants were thrown to the road. Mr. Keller, who hung onto the lines, was dragged for some distance, and received an injury to his arm, one leg being somewhat cut, and he was otherwise bruised. The only injury received by Mrs. Keller was a sprained shoulder and a few other bruises, while their daughter escaped without any injuries at all This was the third attempt made by their horse Sunday to run av<ay, but was held in check each time until near home, when the rig was broken and the occupants strewn along the way. All are quite sore from the shake-up which they received, but will be all right again tn a few days. ■ ■ o THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT WANT AD’ PAY BIG
