Mleh., wlwre they were in attendance at the funeral of the I former’s brother, Mr. George Russell, of that city, and at whose death, which occurred Thursday, they bad been summoned to, the funeral being held Saturday afternoon. The result of his death came in a rather peculiar I ! manner. Several months ago he had been doing some work on a porch root ' when he suffered a stroke of paralyI sis, falling to a stone pile below and receiving a bursted blood vessel.

1 4m< e then hia condition had been i I quit® aeripua and the clogeat of medical attention waa necessary to afford him some relief. He was known to many of this city, having resided hero some years ago, where he enjoy*d a wide acquaintance. The funeral service was held at 2:00 Saturday afternoon and was attended by a large number of friends and relatives. W. W. P. McMillen qualified as administrator of the estate of his late v ito. Harriet McMillen. He gave $5,000 bond, with C. S. Niblick and E. X. Klinger sureties. - — Claiming that he willfully and ma-1 llclously enticed her husband, Benjamin F. Ayres, away from her and her children, alienating his affections, and I depriving her and her five children of the comfort ot his society, protecI tion and support, whereby she has - been caused great distress of mind I and body, Mrs. Grace Buffenbarger Ayres has brought a sensational suit In the Adams circuit court, demanding SIO,OOO damages from her father-in--law, Alfred A. Ayres, of Blue Creek township. Mrs. Ayres Is a daughter 1 of Marion Buffenbarger, and She and her husband have been well known ' residents of Blue Creek township. They were married April 26, 1902, in this county and lived together until ■ last December 29th. They have five ' children, the oldest nine years old. The youngest which is only two months old, was born since the father left his ' I home. F. M. Cottrell of Berne and R. K. Erwin of Fort Wayne are the plaintiff's attorneys. It Is said that Mrs. Ayres is making her home with b®r sister, Mrs. Will Ray, in Berne. Pink and white were the soft, dain<ty colors that predominated in the friendship shower given Wednesday 1 evening by Mesdames Charles Vogle- , wede and R. J. Holthouse in compli- • ment to Miss Clara Terveer, whose marriage to Mr. Clem Uhl of Toledo. Ohio, w'ill take place Tuesday, July | ,18th. The wide archways of the Vo- i glewede home, where the party was given, hung with fluttering pendants of pink and white hearts, formed vistas through which the many spacious i rooms appeared, unusually pretty in their special decorations. Streamers in these same pretty colors formed a roseate maze overhead, as they were caught from the chandelier in the cen-« ter and festooned to the walls and corners of the rooms. The chande- j liers were hooded with pink and white ' crepe paper caps, and pink and white , I sweet peas were the floral contribu-; ' tion to the beauty. Many friends of , the bride-to-be, gowned in dainty cos- j I tumes, completed the pretty picture,, I as they mingled together in friendship, ! I or seated at the little tables arrang-, ' ed throughout the rooms, enjoyed the j very appropriate game of the evening, I progressive hearts. Prizes in this I were won. first, by Miss Bess Tonnel-' tier; second by Miss Clara Lang, and third by Miss Tena Confer. Refreshments were served at the little ta-, I bles following the progressive hearts, 1 and were carried out in the colors of pink and white, very pret'y to the eye as well as appealing to the taste. - The gifts which were showered upon : the guest of honor, together with a myriad of good wishes, consisted of many beautiful things that will find ( an appropriate and useful place in . the new home so soon to be established. They were given in a very pret-! ty and certainly unique way. The centerpiece of the large dining room table was a large green watering-pot, made of green crepe paper. The wa-tering-pot was filled with quantities j of pink and white sweet peas, and I from the holes of the sprinkler lead | baby ribbons of pink and white, each ( fastened to a gift that lay on the ta-1 ble. The unwrapping and examining , of the gifts was no small part of the pleasures of the evening, both to the donors and to the recipient. Out-of- 1 town guests were the Misses Rose Martin, Stella Wemhoff, Blanche Hart, Emma and Catherine Gunkle and Mrs. E. H- Kilbourne of Fort Wayne; Mrs. Charles Pilliod of Piqua, Ohio; Mrs. Tom Haefling of Indianapolis, and M!s» Sylvia Droppieman of Louisville. Ky. Miss Terveer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Bernard Terveer, and is a young lady of many personal charms and accomplishments, and possesses a singing voice of much beauty and sweetness that has given pleasure to Decatur audiences on many occasions. The groom is a young business man of Tolet'o, well known here, where he has often visited, having many relatives here. G. R- & I- BRAKEMAN KILLED. Brakeman Sarver of the G. R. & L , was killed early this morning at Lagrange when working on a northbound freight out of Fort Wayne. Particulars of the death were not received at the local offices. Th ebody will arrive here today and be removed to the Getz & Cahill morgue. Sarver was a member of the B. of R. T. and is survived by a wife, infant child and his parents.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

COMMISSIONERS COMPLETE WORK Superintendent OpMfler Given Right to Employ Deputy Under the Lew. The county commissioners closed their regular session Thursday, allowing the bills and cleaning up the slate for business for the July term. They will meet a few foments Sat urday afternoon to award the contract for the furnishing of coal to the various county institutions, and will meet agaiu on the 21st of the month to sell the Allen-Adams county line road, known as the Weber road. County Superintendent L. E. Opliger filed a petition for a deputy as provided on page 156 of the Acts of 1911. | The petition was granted and he was 1 given permission to employ a deputy not to exceed ninety days as asked, though the law permits 120 days, at the compensation provided by the law, I three dollars per day. Mr. Opliger | said he did not need a deputy now, but probably would by institute time and this action was taken to cover that necessity. ,• o ' Though he had been in failing health for a year or more, Henry J. I Schmidt, one of the pioneer residents • of the county, a veteran of the civil war, without warning, was gathered Into the immortal ranks about 31 o’clock Wednesday afternoon at his f home on Marshall street, his death I at this time coming wholly unexpect-1 edly. About a year ago, Mr. Schmidt underwent an operation for hernia ot ■ long-standing, and while great relief i was afforded, never fully regained j his health, complications of dropsy . and heart trouble also arising. He had been bedfast at various times, but Wednesday seemed quite I well, and ate a hearty dinner. He was then taken in and placed on a | couch. Some time afterward, while his attendants were fixing the pillows to make him more comfortable, his i head suddenly dropped and in a mo--1 ment life was extinct. His wife was grievously shocked and it is said is , also quite sick with heart trouble. I Mr. Schmidt was born in Germany, [ , October 25, 1832, and had he lived until next October would have been sev--1 enty-nine years of age. He was the son of Henry Jacob and Catherine Schmidt. He has lived in this country, however, since youth, and for many J 1 years was a prominent resident of j Preble township, being a gardener of note. | Mr. Schmidt was a soldier of the ; civil war. He enlisted October 3, j j 1864, in Company D, 51st Indiana infantry, and was immediately sent to , the front, his regiment taking an acI five part in the Nashville campaign. I following General Hood’s retreating | , army until it disbanded, when they went into camp at the close of the war, being discharged in June, 1865. It is useless to say the soldier did not see hard service. Any soldier serving , under Colonel Streight, both in his ( , commanding a regimerl Or brigade, got his share. On account of disability during service for his country, Mr. Schmidt was given a pension of seventeen dollars a month. Mr. Schmidt was married four times. To the union of himself and , second wife were horn three children j —John Schmidt of Preble, Mrs. Aui gust Werling of Preble and Mrs. Heckman of Fort Wayne. After the . i death of his third wife, September I 21, 1904, Mr. Schmidt was married April 15, 1906, by Judge R. K. Erwin to Mrs. Elizabeth Closs Short of this , city, and since his marriage to her, he has resided in this city. I The funeral was held Saturday I morning, the procession leaving the, house at 8 o'clock for the Zion’s Lu- [ theran church on West Monroe street, where the services were conducted , 1 at 8:30 o’clock by the Rev. Wehmeyer. Burial took place in the Lutheran i cemetery north of Preble in the lot j in which his second wife lies, place : having been reserved there for his burial. In the death of Nicholas Wagner of Monroe township becatur and Adams county have been called upon to mourn the loss not only of one of its most respected and honorable citizens, but one of the oldest, and nearly the longest living resident of the county; one who not only commanded the respect of each and every one, owing to his pleasant personality and kind words which he had for all, but also for his longevity, being numbered among the prominent farmers of the county, who was called by death Wednesday night at twenty minutes past ten o’clock. One week ago today, ■while attending to some business affairs in his home town, he was stricken with paralysis which affected his throat and reasoning faculties, rendering him unconscious, and he had to be removed to his home by those who were with him, remaining in this state until the next day, when he regained sufficient strength to ask for a glass of water, but never enough to recognize altogether what was going on about him. From then on he gradually grew worse and tor the last few days the end had been

'hourly expected, he being relieved of tiki suffering at the above-stated hour He was born in France eighty-two years ago, and when six years of ago came with his parents to this county, . settling in Ohio. Early In the forties they came to this county, locating in Washington township, where his parents both died. He grew to manhood in this county, following the vocation .of farming, he being an active worker until a few years ago. when he disposed of his farm and since then has been living a retired life. Three years ago at the old settlers' meeting held at Geneva he was the oldest settler present and for which he was honored with a badge. He was married In 1848 to Miss Mary Everhart to whom I ten children were born. After the death of his first wife he was again married to Sarah Whicker, who also passed away some years later. . He was marrieda third time to Miss Sarah Bicle, who, with the six chil- ' dren, still survive. The children include John of this city, Ira of Monroe, Eli of Montana, Mrs. Mary Jane Baker, Mrs. Minda Leisure of Monroe and Mrs. Etta Silvers of Winchester. He also leaves one brother, James, of Washington township. The funeral : services were Friday afternoon at 2 i o’clock, sun time, from the Winches ter church, southwest of Monroe, with the Rev. Thomas Wyer officiating. InI terment at the Roy cemetery. o POLICE COURT NEWS. Frank Smith, an Erie pumper, was ( arrested by Sheriff Durkin Wednesi day night on a warrant charging him I i with sodomy. The affidavit in the | case was sworn out by Francis May, ' a feeble-minded inmate of the countyfarm. This morning the defense enI tered an affidavit which caused a 1 change of venue and the case was sent I from Mayor Teeple' court to that of , ’Squire Stone and the trial set for 1 o’clock Friday. If the evidence is | sufficient the only thing than can be done is to bind the respondent over to circuit court. ■»—o- ——— I With the lawn gaily decorated with [ Janapese lanterns, strung with ropes of tiny American flags, and with the soft moonlight and a delightfully cool breeze that sprung up in the evening, ' the Orient club enjoyed a very delightful entertainment Wednesday ' evening at the home of Mrs. Marsh Burdg, the Fourth of July spirit being manifest in both the decorations and the amusements. The phonograph was called into service and dei lighted the company with many fine 1 national airs. There were conuni drums and the ringing of the Liberty Bell. Each gue®t was blind-folded and then turned around three times, and freed to search for the Liberty Bell 1 which she was to ring. The grand prizes, large silken • American flags, were won by Miss Flo Conklin. Mrs. I. Kalver, Mrs. John Stewart and Mrs. Carrie Sutherland, while the boobies, tiny firecrackers, went to Mrs. Wid 1 Dorwin and Mrs. C. D. Lewton. Ta-1, bles were set on the lawn and there , a luncheon in two courses, consisting . ( of pressed chicken, potato salad, rel-, , i ish, coffee, sherbet, cake and fairy j ( kisses, were served. Favors were tiny I, flags, the staff of which was pressed ( into the cake. Miss Flo Conklin of', Fort Wayne w r as an out-of-town guest. I Mrs. John Stewart will be hostess in ( two weeks. . s I Although the season of the Decatur ( Horse sale company has closed for • t the year, we are glad to announce that the horse sales in our city will , •be continued. In settling up the affairs ‘ of the company for the season, Mr. r , Abe Boch has taken charge of the , company’s barn and he has decided to r hold a series of commission sales duri Ing the fall, beginning the first Friday in August at the barn on First } street. These sales will be strictly ] I commission sales of horses, buggies, , j harness and in fact anything used on ( the farm. Mr. Boch will own no horses, but only consigned horses will be sold and any farmer or dealer will be welcome to send a horse in to this sale and a square deal will be assured to all. In order that any ; one having a horse to sell may feel free to consign his horse to this sale, no commission will be charged unless the horse is sold. For the opening sale on Friday, August 7th, Mr. Boch has been assured that a number of eastern dealers will be present and it will be a splendid opportunity for farmers with surplus . horses on hand to sell the same at their home market. Provision will be made for winding and hitching each horse sold and every effort will be used to protect the interests of those who bring horses in to this sale. A charge of three dollars per head commission will be made for each horse sold and one dollar for each buggy or other article. Mr. Boch has been one of the active members of the Decatur Horse Sale company since its beginning and "'OllildF9ii Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTOR I A

Monroe, Ind., July s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The jolly five, or the “How-do-you-do boys,’’ are gone, but will not be forgotten for some time. They seem to enjoy themselves and make themselves at home any old place they hang their hats. They have been here ten days, completing their stay here the Fourth, and said they never spent a Fourth before that they enjoyed as much as the one here at Monroe. Well, you would have thought so, if you had seen them in the industdial parade at 10 a. m. They also had their auto trimmed very nicely in wild grape vines, flags and bunting for the automobile parade, but were not lucky enough to get first prize, which they really deserved, but they are only out for fun, and did not expect the prize, for money is no object to them —just fun. They have certainly furnished music and fun for ten days and nights. They made the Monroe people think that the last ten days was the Fourth of July. Their names are B. H. Gerker of Delphos, Ohio: E. V. Mercill of Jackson, Mich.; H. J. Voirol of Fort Wayne, Ind.; H. J. Voirol of Lagrange, Ind., and E. W. Lobenstein of Monroe. Ind. They claim Monroe people know how to entertain some, and the Monroe people claim the jolly five know- how to entertain the rest. They came in an auto belonging to and driven by F. A. Stroup. They left today at 9 a. m. and before leaving they stopped their machine in front of the business blocks and sang their sad farewell, and, oh. how- sad they did make it sound. Their many friends will miss them for some time. Mr. H. J. Voirol's sister, Miss Clara, and her chum, Miss Alice Dooley, of Fort Wayne, came to Monroe on No. 12 Tuesday morning and spent the Fourth also in Monroe. They also left this morning on No. 7 and expect to come again soqie time. They were also entertained at the Lobenstein home. Miss Martha Leach of Piqua, Ohio, also spent the Fourth here, she also being entertained at Lobenstein’s, she being a cousin of Mrs. Lobenstein’s, and will remain two or three weeks.
