Mr. Everle. the conactor certainly deserves great ured‘or the manner the building ig ben« constructed, he Bavlng Mlther la . •or nor expense in making it one of mosi handsome school buildings '» this part or the state, and when completed will be one of the best equipped aud up-to-date buildings for ion enience and comfort ever erected here. Mr. Everle has a warm spot in the Hearts of all those who have '<*en under his employ for his kind treatment and sociability. Ihe Badders and Balmer business rooms are now completed and occupied, one as a candy kitchen and the other as an up-to-the-minute barber shop. 1 hey are quite an improvement io the town of Monroe, and we hope the good work of constructing more store rooms will continue. •John Hocker, formerly of Monroe, | but now of Fort Wayne, has conclud- | cd i iiat Monroe is good enough for . himself and family and accordingly ! has let a contract to Linn & Patten of Decatur, who have had a force of men I at work here excavating for one of the 1 finest residence properties here. It will be modern, with all the conveniences in a first-class home. Mr. Hocker will also put up the latest improved garage. A deal has been closed whereby Ben Brown became the owner of the Pence restaurant and grocery, Mr. Brown taking immediate possesion, and things are on the hustle at that place. Our elevators are strained to their i fullest capacity and hundreds of bushels of grain are taken in daily. The _ first load of new wheat taken in this year was that of Mrs. Rupert, living * just east of town. Monroe pays the i highest prices for grain, lienee the rush of business they are enjoying. I The new home of .John (’rick, section boss on the G. R. &> 1., is nearing > completion, and Mr. Urick and family I will soon be comfortably located in their new home. An interurban meeting was held at the John Badders store room Friday night and considerable enthusiasm was manifested by the crowd present. Messrs. Clark J. Lutz and Alf Graham ot Decatur were present to enlighten our citizens on the subject. l Menno was chosen chairman | of the meeting and it seems probable that Monroe people will get to ride lon interurban cars within a short I time. Put your shoulder to the wheel, j boys, and help push the proposition along. It will be a good thing for the I already booming town of Monroe. I Sealed bids will be received by Jeff 1 Leichty of the hardware store, up till i 12 noon on Friday, September 1, for | the letting of the contract to the lowI est bidder to carry in coal for heatI ing the room stove. No bids will be accepted outside of the Never-sweat club. A bond of S2OO must accompany the bid, with freehold bondsmen. Trustee Otis J.

-F---— 1 with their selection. He is a son of .Samuel Opliger of Linn Grove. i Q At a meeting of the City Improvement company, whose charter arrived but recently, held at the Ward Fence company offices Friday night definite action was taken In reference to the .building of the new city Lail, they making a resolution to advertise for bids on the construction of the building today. It is the intention of the company to push the construction of the hall as rapidly as possible und the committee In charge hopes to have the building ready for occupancy within sixty days. The new building as now planned will have a cellar under the entire structure, which will be used for storage, furnace, etc. The first floor will accommodate the fire apparatus exclusively and the second floor is arranged to give a separate office for the clerk, treasurer, and an 18x25 foot ( court room for the mayor. Jusjt back ( of this is the room reserved for the firemen's sleeping quarters and on the I other side of the hall is the tower In which the hose will be dried. The front will be laid in pressed brick, 1 and will offer a pretty perspective when finished. o .... — EXCURSION PLANS REVIEWED. E. H. Ayer, excursion manager of ’ the White Star Line Steamship company of Detroit arrived in Decatur this morning and with local parties interested therein, again today took up the matter of an excursion to Toledo and Detroit over the Clover Leaf and byway of the steamship route from Toledo to Detroit. The excursion proposition had about 1 been dropped by the K. otl P. lodges of this city and Bluffton, because of an inability to get a satisfactory date, but this matter has been taken up and it will be arranged to run the ex- 1 cursion August 23rd. — ■ • o TAFT SETTLED IT. I Fifth Thursday of November Will be Thanksgiving Day. Washington, D. C., Aug. 12 —President Taft, it was learned today, will designate Thursday. November 30th, as Thanksgiving day this year. It always has been the custom to fix the last Thursday in the month. This year there had been some doubt be- ' cause November happened to include five instead of four Thursdays. The white house has been besieged by theatrical managers and those in charge of college football games to settle this doubt so that definite arrangements could be made for the usual array of special pe-formances j and sports that mark that day. I Bankers throughout the country are said to be anxious—that the president should designate November 23rd as Thanksgiving day. They said that the making of November 30th a legal holiday would seriously interfere with their work, inasmuch as the law requires national banks to make their statements to the treasury department on the first day of every month, and a I holiday falling on the last of the month would be most inconvenient. I o : i Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Lengerich, prominent retired farmers of Washington township, left yesterday of next week leave for New York City, and on Thursday morning at 10 oclock set sail on the steamship Washington, lor Germany for an extended visit with relatives. Their principal place of visit will be at Munster, where Mr. Lengerich has a brother and sister living. They are also acquainted with ’ a number of other people there, this being his third trip, and he will again renew his acquaintance after an abi sence of a number of years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lengerich were born 1 across the water, coming to this conni try in their younger years, and the return trip has been one long looked forward to as this is Mrs. Lengerichs first visit back to her former home. A number of other places of interest will be Included in their Itinerary and they will remain for a number of weeks or until they believe they have included all they desire to see, to make their trip a complete one. It will be full 1 of pleasure from the very start, and 1 one which they will remember for years to come. I — o The will of Isaac Michael, late of Ceylon, whose death occurred July 1 27, was probated last Saturday, S. A. M. Butcher and John H. Booker being the subscribing witnesses.

' ■■■ 1 "O' - - "■ - The disappearance of Fred Tague, the former Decatur shoe man. who left Fort Wayne last week, leaving a number of creditors clammoring foi his unknown whereabouts, an account of which was published in Thursday's Democrat, resulted in the bringing oi a bankruptcy case against him in the t Fort Wayne courts Friday, regarding ! which the Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette of this morning says: I “An involuntary petition in batik ruptcy was filed in the local courts yesterday by the Williatn-Kneeland company of South Braintree, Mass, against Fred B. Tague, who has own- ' ed a shoe store on Calhoun street. The plaintiff alleges that Tague owes that concern the sum of $2,273; that he committed an act of bankruptcy in permitting judgment to be taken against him in the local courts by default, and that* he has concealed and 'secreted the money received for the ■ale of goods. Tague came here from Decatur to open the shoe store and it was thought he was doing a good business. The petition also alleges that he withdrew money from the bank ‘ and, locking the store on August 4, left the city, his present whereabouts now ' beeing unknown. The petition was filed by Judge Walter Olds as attorney for the plaintiff.” o . . — SEVEN GALLONS WORMS, Taken by Decatur Fishing Party to Sturgis, Mich. ( Guy and Wid Dorwin, S. E. Shamp, ' Roy Wolford and Walter Johnson left 1 this afternoon for the vicinity of Sturgis, Mich., where they expect to catch enough fish to supply Decatur. At least it looks that way from the great supply of fish worms they are taking with them—the enormous amount of ' seven gallons of worms accompanying them oa their expedition. Get your orders in early so as to be at the head of the list. — o — • London, Eng., Aug. 12 —(Special to > Daily Democrat) —With thousands of workmen seturning to their work as a result of an agreement which was reached last night, there has been but i very little done to relieve the great distress which has become somewhat acute, as a result of the tie-up of food supplies. The main charges of the strikers were for shorter hours and 'an increase of wages. In the unloading of cargoes at the docks thirty-five thousand carcasses of mutton, valued at $20,000, had spoiled. Returns of settlement, including the wage increase, will amount to $3,000,000 a year. : Rome, Aug. 12—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Pope Pius suffered a slight relapse during the night and physicians were hastily summoned to his bedside. An injection of caffine strengthened the pontiff's heart and he rested more easily. He takes very little nourishment. The physicians ordered that all audiences of any kind be postponed and all matters of church affairs demanding his attention will be held in abeyance. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 12—(Special to aDily Democrat) —Although the I weather bureau forecasted scattering showers tonight and Sunday, but slight hope is held out for general relief on account of the intense heat, which now prevails over the state. Showers reported last night were only local and no general good resulted. Rushville faces a water famine, and the mayor has issued a proclamation that no water can be used except for , domestic purposes, Mrs. George Kelley was killed by lightning in her home at Auburn during an electrical storm this morning. The house was badly damaged but all other members of the home escaped injury. Wesley Faise, a farmer near Bryantown, was also killed by lightning last night. o — _ DIES AT HOSPITAL. Brazil, Ind., Aug. 12 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Mrs. Tony George, who was shot by Selin Alberts, because she refused to elope with him, died at the hospital here today. The guards about the county jail, where Alberts is being held, have been doubled to prevent attacks upon the prisoner. Alberts shot himself after wounding Mrs. George, aud is not expected to recover. “^olnLdren Cry FOR FLETCHER’S 1 KASTORIA

Boyle of Hoagland, whose application for a renewal of his license was met with a remonstrance, was granted the desired permit to sell liquor by the Allen county board of commissioners yesterday afternoon. In its findings on this case the board held that Charles Peckham and Marion Shookman were not legal voters of Madison township when they signed powers of attorney in connection with the remonstrance, and held that Joseph W. Emmenheiser did not give a legal power of attorney. With these three names stricken from the remonstrance, it was held that the document did not show a majority of the legal voters of the township and for that reason was inoperative.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.
