LAST EARTHLY RESPECTS. Were This Afternoon Paid to Memory of Mrs. Lucy Kelsey. The last earthly respects over the remains of the late Mrs. Lucy Kelsey, of south of the city, whose death occurred at midnight Wednesday, were held this afternoon from the St. Paul's church and wore largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased. The cortege left the home at 1 o’clock for the church, and the services were in charge of the Rev. C. T. Payne. Interment was made at Maplewood cemetery. • 1 — • e- - few stray facts have been picked up from the commissioners who made the trip from the head-waters of the St. Mary’s to the state line and Pleasant Mills dam, none of which, however will offer a solution of the probable action the joint board of commissioners may take. They were fortunate ,enough to see a large carp swimming around contentedly while the other fish g were at the mouth of the tributary fighting for fresh water. This may to some extent mould their opinion as the canal will be used as a drainage medium. Some information was also offered about the stream bed, and it was noted by the viewers that near Rockford a decided increase in the channel width is shown. At the state line the channel is three times the natural width of the stream further up and thus the heaviest cost of the dredging will be in the Ohio territory. From the state line to the mouth at Fort Wayne the river maintains a tolerable evenness of width, which will greatly facilitate the dredging. Os course, at places, the stream is narrow but it has alwaps been mapped out a navigable stream and the expenditure of probably a hundred thousand dollars will give a four-foot level all the way to the state line, a depth of water that will accommodate the averge barge. No official action will be had on the project until June 12th, when the board meets again and it is hoped that some agreement to go ahead is reached. LITERARY NOTE. Most readers of the present generation recall Edna Dean Proctor as one of the inspirations of their youth, without knowing that this fine spirit* ed writer, who delighted our parents as well, is still in vigorous health and still occasionally writing delightful verse. Two years ago she visited Seattle, at the time of the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposition. While on Puget Sound she became so much impressed with the stately grandeur of Mount Rainier, the noblest, if not quite the tallest of American mountains, that she promised her western friends to send them a poem on “Mount Tacoma,” as she prefers to call the great peak, using its ancient Indian name. The promise is now fulfilled in some very musical verses written for the new edition of “The Mountain that Was ‘God,’” which its authorpublisher, John H. Williams, of Tacoma, has just brought out, with G. P. Putnam’s Sons as his New York agents. Miss Proctor’s fine poem has for its title, “The Mountain Speaks,’’ and is an expression, in the voice of the peak itself, of much that Mr. Williams has woven into his interesting first chapter on the Indian nature w’orship of this extinct firemountain which now represents the most important glaciers to be found south of Alaska. During the past few days several complaints have been registered against a few boys who reside in the north part of the city concerning the dangerous use of air rifles. Not only one complaint, but many Have been pouring into the mayor’s office and this morning orders were issued, and two of the boys were arres.ted and brought before the mayor, who administered a good lecture, aivising them that any future actions would be rigorously prosecuted. Friday a farmer, driving home, had one of his horses Injured by the air guns, the shot taking effect in the eye of the horse. He went on home and stated that if the sight was injured he would return this afternoon and file affidavits against the guilty parties, who are well known to him. Another owner of an automobile reported that while passing a certain point be was shot at by one of the boys and the shot from the rifle lodged in the fender of the machine, leaving a mark plainly noticeable. The mayor states that this promiscous shooting within the city limits, either with air rifles or heavier arms, must positively cease and definite prders have been hand ed to the police to arrest on sight any person who disobeys the ordinance against shooting within the corporate limits. The boys arrested were given to understand that no further trifling would be indulged in, but that prosecutions would immediately follow any complaint. Automobile owners are complaining about the same'bunch of boys who seem to take delight in playing on it

comer of evenings and breaking milk bottles and various other glass numsila on the brick pavements which are frequented by machines in the hopes of seeing a tire punctured. They state that the same conditions are noticeable on Adams street. ■ o . ■ , ■ —jWhile the newly married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Milo Hilyard, whose wedding took place south of the city Thursday evening are speeding south on their wedding trip, far from the torments of the jokes and pranks of their friends, their “friends" are determined not to be wholly undone. The groom is employed as a clerk for the Erie railroad, with headquarters in Chicago, and today the Daily Democrat received from his fellow clerks the following notice for publication: Wanted in Chicago—A Well Known Young Couple. When last seen, were boarding a certain train for Louisiana. Beware: The groom is not responsible for what he does. Any Information of their whereabouts will be rewarded by their friends. Name under which they are known, “Milo,” alias “Refund Clerk.” Description: Age, uncertain; height, large feeling; weight, losing rapidly; build, irregular; complexion, pale; hair, bald (not yet); eyes, bloodshot; lips, bitten. “Mrs. Milo,” alias "Mrs. Refund Clerk.” Description: Age, ????; height, plump; weight, plump; build, plump; complexion, same as yesterday; hair, same as today; eyes, same as last week; lips, same as tomorrow. There was a great snow storm, this story he told. And he’s always been truthful, and never been bold. Though here ’twas not thusly, and It seemed quite absurd, We bad no idea of doubting his word. We soon grew suspicious, and by many ’twas said, He was hunting a flat, and the storysoon spread. There was more than mere snow that delayed that fast train, So we rightly concluded 'twas a girl in Fort Wayne. In spite of these facts the girls all about Could hardly be blamed for feeling put out. For word came to us and like wild fire spread, That Milo on Thursday was quietlywed. Now as we cannot be with you and they need plenty of care, Let each do his duty and look after this pair. For they are now southbound and lonely and weary, So make the trip merry for himself and his “Dearie.”

At a meeting of the school board, with A. H. Sellemeyer, F. V. Mills and O. L. Vance and Superintendent E. E. Rice present, definite plans toward the remodeling of the Central school house to make it comply with the demands of the state health laws governing the same, were made. The plans and specifications heretofore submitted by Architect C. N. Christen were accepted and two copies of the plans filed with Mr. Mills, the secretary. Notice was ordered given for the receiving of bids up to not later than 7 p. m. June 9th. All bidders are required to file a certified check for S2OO with each bid, conditioned that the bidder enter into contract and bond is awarded the contract. As soon as the contract is awarded, work will begin that the improvements may be finished in time for the opening of school in the fall. The changes will affect the lighting and ventilating facilities. The change in the lighting facilities will be the making of four sets of windows —two on the fist floor, two on the second in the middle rooms, two on the west and two on the east. In the two east rooms, the windows will be taken out on the south side and the space closed with brick. Two doors will be placed in the basement between the hall and the lavatories. The ventilating department will also come In for changes. The old ventilating grates will be taken out and one and one-half inch mesh grates with iron frames for all openings installed. The openings in the new part will be cut the full width of the ventilating flue and thirty-six inches high. All other ventilating flue openings will be made with the same width and thirty-six inches high. Baffeling plates of heavy galvanized iron will be placed in the flues where used by more than one room, and all the Improvements will ne strictly up to the requirements. At the meeting the pay roll of the teachers and other employees, and the other necessary bills for the closing of the school year were allowed. o— WILL GO TO CALIFORNIA. Attorney and Mrs. A. P. Beatty.and their son, Carl, will leave June 21st for Los Angeles, Cal., thence to Oakwood, which is just across the bay from San Francisco, where they will

be guests of Mrs. Beatty's sister this summer They expect to be gone until the opening of court, September 1, which will necessitate the ■return of Mr. Beatty. The trip is made in the hope of beneflttlng the health of Mrs. Beatty, who has been ailing several years. Though the best and most varied kinds of treatment have been tried they have failed in restoring her com pletely and it is hoped that the change of climate will prove more availing. o BANKER JOHN MILLS DEAD. Well Known Portland Man Died Saturday Evening After Short Illness. L. C. Waring received a telephone message from Portland Saturday evening, telling him of the death of his friend, John W. Mills, cashier of the Adair bank at Portland, and well known by many in this city. Mr. Mills had been ill only a few days, and his death was a severe shock to his many friends. W’hile his disease baffled the physicians and specialists who made every effort to save his life It is believed that death was due to uraemic poisoning. Mr. Mills was aged about forty-two, and was one of the best bankers in this section of the state. ■ - ■ CEMETERY TRUSTEES’ WARNING. In all kindness the trustees of the Decatur cemetery want to ask the people who use hydrants at the cemetery to be particularly careful about shutting off the water after they have drawn what is needed for watering the flowers and plants. Last week several boys after playing around the hydrants left them open and as a consequence the big fifty barrel tank was exhausted. This causes much inconvenience and must not occur again. Please warn the children when you send them to the cemetery to water the flowers.

Julius Haugk, who has large stone quarry interests near Imboden, Ark., where he has a force of fourteen Decatur men at work, spent Sunday here with his family, and expects to leave again Tuesday for his quarry. He will be accompanied by his son, Herman, who will spend the summer there. The weather there is not more warm than that here and the Decatur colony likes the place fine. The fishing is especially good there and he reports Mike Meibers and Joe Deiner as the banner fishermen. Last week Deiner caught a cat-fish that weighed twenty-two pounds and the week before, one that weighed thirty-four pounds. The proposed deal for the trading of his property here for land in the south, which was considered some time ago. has been declared off, for the present at least, the family preferring to live in the north. - — RESPECTS SHOWN. A large attendance of sorrowful friends and relatives gathered at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon to pay for the last time their sad respects to Mrs. Clyde McClure, one whom in life they held in the highest esteem, and whose death was one of the saddest to be recorded. The services were in charge of the Rev. Imler of the United Brethren church, who paid a high tribute to the life of the deceased lady. Interment ook place at the Decatur cemetery. —o REQUEST FOR FLOWERS. All persons having flowers, which they will give for Decoration Day use, are requested to leave them at the G. A. R. hall by 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, where they will be much appreciated by the W. R. C. committee in charge of this part of the Decoration day service. Committee: MRS. JOHN MALOTTE. MRS. VINNIE LYON. —... — — 0 FINGER CUT. Arthur, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Voglewede, met with a somewhat painful accident Sunday morning, while playing, and during which time he received a badly cut finger. He, with his brother, was playing iu the yard, when they noticed the lawn mower. In some way Arthur got his fingers between the knives, cutting the little finjger of the left hand, so that the attention of a physician was necessary to dress i*. — PLAY PORTLAND. The local base ball team will leave in the morning for Portland, where they have a double header scheduled to be pulled off with that city's fast amateur team. One game is to be played in the morning, and one in the afternoon, and both will be of much interest, as the locals are going with the expectation of winning, and have prepared themselves for the event.

less they have a streak of bad luck they will bring home the honors of the game. They have but a few more games to be played away from home. By arrangements made with local people the home grounds are to be fixed up and put in shape for playing, and then some fast ball can be expected. A little boost is all that is needed. ,, , . THOUGHT TRACE DEAD. Boys Play Trick on Trace Nelson and Rumor Was at First Believed. A rumor spread quickly through the streets Sunday evening, started by some of Trace Nelson's friends, that he had dropped dead and for a while the many were at a loss to understand the affair, and some time passed before the question was finally settled that Trace was not dead, and was as well as usual. Some one hung a sign on the True & Runyon grocery store which read, “Trace Nelson has turned up his toes,” and being noticed by-passers-by, attracted much attention, and soon inquiries began to pour in learn of the true condition. The trick, though just in fun, is going a little too far in this line, and caused much excitement, and is not the best policy to be carried out. POLICE COURT NEWS. The tw-o cases that were heard Saturday evening in ’Squire Stone's eourt resulted in both Schlickman and Schug being acquitted. The other case of the State of Indiana vs. Daniels was continued until Saturday next, at which time the case will be heard. Monday an affidavit was filed in ’Squire Stone's court entitled the State of Indiana vs. Earl Reber, and the paper was sworn out by Henry Hirschy, his father-in-law-, who alleges that it is belief that Reber threatens him and he desires that a peace bond be established. It is alleged that while visiting at Reber’s place Sunday they became engrossed in an altercation, which resulted as stated. The sheriff was sent after the party and several witnesses, and Reber will probably have a hearing this afternoon.
