Y. P. A. BUSINESS MEETING. The semiannual business meeting of the Young People's Alliance, which j was to have been held at the Evan- ’ gelical church last Thursday evening, will be held this evening at 7:30 sharp. The semi annual election of officers will take place. Tired of life, on account of domestic troubles, it is said. William Clark, a former tenant of the John Bowers !• farm, but who later moved to Bluffton. ■ » where his family now lives, made an unsuccessful attempt Saturday after- = *Jhildren Cry ' FOR FLETCHER’S cAST O R I A

I noon about 4 o'clock to end'hla life,' I by the laudanum route, at the home . oi lilg wife'a father, Moae Cahn, who (Uvea a mile north and threefourthn of a mile east of the Dent school' I house, east of this city. it io said the family has been hav- | ing considerable domestic trouble, and that Clark either is not willing or cannot work, and that thereupon I hinges his determination to take his , life, at the Cahn home, where he had been some time. After having the trouble, he threatened to leave the place, but was persuaded to return by members of the family and it was then that he drank the laudanum, taking about a half-ounce of the dope —enough to kill him, had not medical help been rushed to him. The memI bers of the family were badly fright--1 ened and were walking him about the I place "for dearlife’' to keep him awake, when the doctor, who was call- | ed from this city, arived on the scene lin his automobile. The doctor gave him antidotes and medicine. Contrary to the tears of the doctor, the would-be-suicine took the medicine without coaxing, and was soon on the road to recovery, and both he and his father-in-law were in town this morning. I Clark, is is said, had been working in Fort Wayne the past three weeks or so. He is a man of about thirtyfive years of age and has several chil-1 dren. On the way to the scene the doctor experienced some trouble. A . horse frightened at the automobile ;<pd ran directly in front of the machine. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out and the buggy somewhat damaged. The occupants were not hurt. Added to the delay and 1 worry occasioned by the doctor in this, was his worry that be might not' I arrive on the scene of the would-be suicide in time to save the lite. New York, N. Y., June 26 —(Special 1 to Daily Democrat) —Reorganization ' of the Standard Oil company has ad- ‘ vanced so far that the presence of i John D. Rockefeller is necessary and he will be at his office today or tomorrow. There is great interest in Wall j I street as to the plan of the oil mo-' ’ nopoly, but it was stated that no dei tails will be given out until the dis- i solution has been accomplished. Washington. D. C., June 26—(Spec-* ial to Daily Democrat) —The famous ' Cunningham-Guggenheim coal claim in Alaska, variously estimated at from | 1100,000,000 to one billion dollars was today ordered cancelled as Illegal by ( ' Commissioner Dennett of the general, 1 land office with the approval of Sec- ' retary Fisher. By this decision the 1 | elleged efforts of the Morgan-Guggen j heim syndicate to grab Alaska is declared frustrated so far as the coal 1 deposits are concerned. These lands I 1 resulted in the Ballinger-Pinchot feud. ' They will now be restored to the public domain and later entered for reentry. Secretary Fisher announces that all other Alaskan claims will be I pushed to conclusion and congress r asked to enact new laws effecting the lands. Fowler, Ind.. June 26—(Special to ( Daily Democrat)—Grand jury action | in the ease of Peter Larsen, whose i body was found floating in a well | here, is probable today. The sister of i Larsen believes he was murdered and I will endeavor to bring about an inves- ' tigation despite the coroner's verdict > I of suicide. I i -c SLOW TO SETTLE. Only eighteen of the ninety-two j counties of the state have completed | their semi-annual June settlement I with the auditor of state. These are Brown, Crawford, Newton, Fountain, Gibson, Perry, Jackson, Warrick, I Ohio. Franklin, Laporte, Jay, Adams, I Jasper, Monroe, Switzerland, and, I Jennings. The counties have until I midnight of June 30th to make the . I report. Owing to delap in settlement I it will probably prevent the semi-an-nual apportionment of the state tuition funds by the state superintendent of public instruction on the usual day. The law requires that the ap- ! portionment be made on the fourth Monday in June, or June 26th, which I is today, but the same law requires i that the apportionment be made ac- ' cording to the settlement with the state auditor. I - GROUND IS BROKEN. For Library Improvements — Other ■ Building Notes. — The brick for the new Waring Glove factory have been hauled to the ground and work will soon begin on | that part of the structure. The con- | cre to work of the basement has been 1 finished. I j Ground was broken this morning on I the improvements at the library buildI ing, Adolph Hoffman having secured the contract for the excavation of the basement to be used as a coal room, under the northwest part of the library. The room will be finished with concrete and will be large

' enough to hold a car load of coal or so. This inrun is made on account of the inconvenience in taking the coal around at the rear of the lot to the ' room on the south side. — REV. PARKER CHOSEN. “ ~ ~ ' i The local representatives of the Epworth League oi me Methodist Episcopal church have returned from Carmel, where they have been attending the convention of the Muncie dis-1 trict. They report a fine meeting. The Andersonians played an impor-, tant part in the meeting. Before adjourning the election of officers was held. The outcome was as follows: j President, the Rev. B. Earle Parker of Hartford City; first vice president. Miss Mattie B. Fry, of Anderson; second vice president, Miss Myrtle Mason, of Muncie; third vice president, Mrs. W. Earl Pittinger, of Westfield; fourth vice president, Miss Ma-, ble Blazer, of Muncie; secretary, Mrs., C. E. Bingaman, of Anderson; treasurer, E. J. Black, of Muncie; junior superintendent, Miss Gretchen Keogh ter, of Matthews. —Hartford City Gre zette. SCHOOL TEACHERS. Must Be in Best of Health to Bring About Best School Work. j Within the next few weeks teachers for all of the public schools in the state will have been selected. Township and city and town school trustees are making selections now. The state board of health, after a study of disease ana aeatn statistics concerning public schools, extending over sev eral years, has issued a suggestion to school authorities against the employ- ( ment of teachers who are not thor-, oughly well physically, on the theory i that the teacher should teach and ex-, , emplify health as well as culture and that a teacher who is constantly "out of sorts" because of ill health cannot, teach children properly and cannot render value received for the money paid her by the state. In summing ,up the state board of health says: ( I "Teachers should exemplify and, teach health as well as teach and exI emplify culture. 11l health is usually ( [ the result of wrong living, and not to know how to live rightly is a terrible ( indictment of a teacher." LOST ANOTHER. i One More Game Annexed to the Lost Column. | I i The local base ball team which went I I to Willshire Sunday, where they engaged in a game with the city team of. that place, returned home Sunday evening with a look of defeat on their ( , brows. In the first place they had ( only a picked team, and a number of the regular players did not accompany them, making their condition a badly crippled one, and defeat wan expected | from the beginning. However, the Willshire bunch did not put up such ( a fast game as predicted, and won out by the score of 17 to 16. , A FISHING TRIP. — A party of Decatur people will go to Kuntz lake, near Rochester, Ind., next week to spend a week or two catching the finny tribe. Those in the party are Francis Fuhrman, Gilbert Tumbteson, Oscar Dilling, Bar-; j ney Swank. Doug Johnson, Frank : Fisher. Ray Pike and Bud Death. | o LA DELLES AT CRYSTAL. I i Tomorrow evening at the Crystal t theater the LaDelles will again appear in public and the Decatur folks will have another opportunity of witnessing high class performing and singing. Clifford will be accompanied at the piano, while the LaDelle sisters will render some of the latest song hits and display their skill in the way of dancing. Several good films will be on hand for the evening and an excellent program will be the outcome for the evening. At the Crystal. —o PICNIC AT ROBISON PARK. Christian Sunday School Will Picnic There on July 20tfr. The annual picnic of the Christian Sunday school will be held at Robinson park, Fort Wayne, July 20th, and . the pupils of this school are looking i forward with much pleasure to the ( event. An endeavor will be made to i secure enough passengers to charter two interurban cars and the trip to Fort Wayne will be a feature of the day for the little ones. Q--LAFAYETTE BLACKMAN DEAD. Wife Was Formerly Miss Elsie Tyndall of Near This City. Word received by Mrs. J. S. McCrory this morning announced the death of her brother-in-law, Lafayette Blackman, which occurred Sunday morning in a hospital in Chicago, where he had long been a patient.

Mrs. Blackman was formeiiy. Miss El sie Tyndall, of near this city, she being a daughter of the late Henry Tyndall and a sister of Mrs. McCrory, and of the late Otis Tyndall. On account of the serious illness of Grandma McCrory of Van Wert, Ohio, who Is at the home of her son, J. 8. McCrory, in this city, members of the family will not be able to attend the Blackman funeral. —e | The police court ente'tained a large crowd Monday, nine cases being tried before Mayor Teeple. Saturday afterneon John McDonald, a farmer, living tn Jefferson township, ( was brough up and being found guilty of an intoxication charge, was fined SI.OO and costs, the usual $ll.OO being the result. Sunday afternoon a party living eas' of the city came in to go on the bond of Clarence Meyers, who was arrested Saturday evening on the charge of throwing glass bottles on the streets. Meyers has been in the limelight before on an intoxication charge and this morning when arraigned, he pleaded guilty and the mayor promptly assessed a fine of $3.00 and costs, making $13.00, for the young man to pay. He had the money and paid the fine, leaving the office with a promise to do better in the future. He was ’ up on a penal charge and he may consider himself lucky in getting off with so small an amount. — k Saturday night proved busy for all the officers the city and county had. Several calls came in and were answered, but only one produced results which caused arrests. About midnight the omcers naa a call from the Clover Leaf railroad office, and 1 when answered the officers found a bunch of eleven tramps in a box-car, where they had a large amount of beer and whiskey, and a big carousal was on. Coupled with this call came the appeal of a citizen who said that ' two of the tramps had stopped the young son of Don Edwards and had robbed him of a bundle of groceries ' and meat. Another of the tramps was ' wanted badly in the north end where he entered the house of a citizen and 1 helped himself to what he wanted, threatening the children, who were in the house alone. Upon locating the bunch the officers closed In «to secure them and several ran, with Officer Frank Peterson in 1 chase. Running west one of the tramps passed the depot and when Peterson passed, struck at him with a club and jerked a revolver from his ' pocket at the same time. Again run--1 ning west he threw- a brick or some other missile and turned to shoot, and Peterson, believing he intended killing him, shot several times and the fallow, falling over a pile of rubbish, * could not get away, and the marshal handcuffed him on the spot. The others escaped during the running fight. | Returning to the other officers, Peterson helped escort the eight who were pinched to jail, wheer they were 1 safely locekd up. Today when they , were being brought up into court one . escaped by walking into a neighboring ( j office for a while. Those arraigned i and convicted on drunk charges were: Albert Taylor, George Wennefort, John Riley, Theo. Burns, John My ( ers, Frank Mason, the latter being the party who attempted to fight Peter- j " son. Probably a stronger charge may i be filed against him in the near future. One of the tramps, a cripple, James H. Kelley, was allowed thirty minutes j 1 to get out of town, and at the expira- ( * tion of that period Kelley was missI ing. according to nls promise. , This bunch of tramps has been camping across the river, near the Erie pump house, where they have been accorded accommodations of various kinds, and the residents of that portion of the city are complaining of the action taken by the employees of the Erie. This morning the marshal found several dollars' worth of provisions, etc., there, which the tramps had either purchased or stolen. HOME FROM TEXAS. Mr. and Mrs. John Herman, who for | several weeks past have been absent from the city enjoying a pleasure trip through the state of Texas, have returned home. They visited at Houston, Galveston, San'Antonio, Alta Loma and other places of interest and enjoyed the trip very much. During 1 their short stay in the southwest they I were much pleased with the condit--1 ions of that part of the country. MEMORIAL SERVICES. A large number of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs assembled at the hall Sunday afternoon and marched in a body ! to the Decatur cemetery, where the ritualistic ceremonies were given. An address by Rev. I. Imler, himself a member of the order, was one of the .features of the day's services. The ~CbildF9ii Cry FOft FLETCHER’S CASTOR I A

June 26 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The board, consisting of Governor Marshall, Secretary Ellinghatn and Auditor O'Brien this afternoon named the physicians who will serve as members of the state board of health. The list includes Dr. James S. Boyers of Decatur, Dr. T. Henry Davis of Richmond and Dr. J. I. Hicks of Covington. Tti* board meets frequently and is a very ihportant one. a place thereon being considered a very high honor. The decision in the Blue Creek ditch case will not be made by Judge Hartford until fall. He has taken the papers containing the evidence to Portland and it is said that it will require two months or so to make a thorough examination of this. No arrest has yet been made in the third and last indictment returned by the April grand jury on the eharge of bigamy, as the man cannot be located. It is believed that the respondent is dead, such being the belief also of the former wife of the man. Peterson &> .Moran are attorneys for Benjamin W. Sholty in a suit against William H. Fledderjohann, Charles Dirkson, Henry Gallmeier and Henry Schroeder, complaint on note; demand, $1,500. The note was executed ' February 2, 1911, to Henry Heckman J for $1,134.33, the note being purchased by B. W. Sholty. HORSES RUN AWAY. A farm team, hitched to a cattle wagon, ran from the G. R. & I. railroad cattle yards near Madison street, and were finally stopped when they ran into a yard and against a tree, the tree acting as a break between the two horses, one running on each side of the tree. A little boy. who was holding the horses, was unhurt, and no serious consequences resulted to the horses and wagon. — ——o —
