——— — A number of Winchester s citizens met with a delegation of the Rich rnond Commercial club in Caldwell ■' Parry's office last Wednesday and dis , cussed the proposed traction line from Richmond to Portland. The visitors explained their position, how they expected to secure right-of-way and funds for constructing the line, and ( that co-operation was expected from our citizens if the line came to this city The Richmond people, realizing the benefits of interurban traction service purpose to build a line nort from their city.

<,uitnra ß i pair »>r vsajhie county, the southeast part of this county, into Union City and from that city to Portland or Fort Recovery in caae the gap between Celina and Portland is closed aa contemplated. The other route being studied practically parallels the G- R. & I. Into Portland. Naturally the first route Is being received the most enthusiastically by the people of the community through which it proposed to pass, as much of that territory is virgin so far as steam or electric service Is concerned, and the road would be of Inestimable value to the communities. However, the interurban business has thus far been too expensive to install and operate to venture Into new fields and all existing lines either parallel railroads or connect county seat towns and cities and recent months have witnessed no fall in prices of material or labor. Much of the right-of-way for a direct line north and south through this city was secured a few years ago and doubtless could be secured again with less troubue and expense than a new route. The Richmond representatives at the meeting were C. W. Jordan, B. W. Comstock, W. F. Starr, S. E. Jones, W. H. Quigg, W. A. Gregg. Lew Iliff, and Dr. If. ('. Burcham.—Winchester Herald.

The committee of business men who have charge of the proposed new ‘city building and the purchase of a tire-fighting apparatus, continued in session until a late hour Thursday night. During the day they listened to the representatives of various firms who are trying to sell them the apparatus, but no definite agreement was reached, the matter being considered further today, and it is expected that a decision will be reached by this evening. It is known that a combination hose and chemical wagon to be propelled by power will be bought, but just what kind remains to , be decided upon. | The bids for the building of the new i structure were received by 5 o’clock and were opened at the session of the , committee held after supper. According to the bids Linn & Patton were the lowest and the contract will without doubt be awarded to that firm, . though it was decided to withhold any action until tonight, when a continued session will be held, attended also by i the committee from the city council, ( and at that time the contract will be , formally signed. The bids as received I on the building were as follows: | Linn & Patton, $10,421; with the I plumbing and heating plant, $11,356. i Maun & Christen, $10,625; with I plumbing and heating plant, $11,685. , Fred Hoffman & Son, $11,346; with j plumbing and heating plant, $12,281. i P. J. Hyland, plumbing and heating, j $935. The bid of Linn & Patton includes the bid of Mr. Hyland on the plumbing and heating and he will do that part ; of the work, if they are awarded the ' contract. The new building will be erected at i once on the city lot on Monroe street ; and will be a handsome, modern and well arranged building for the pur- [ pose, containing the fire department ' room, offices, rooms for the firemen, ; vaults tor the city records, etc. It • will be a handsome addition to the ! city, besides furnishing what we have so long needed, a home for a fire dei partment and means a paid company.

That the law relating to the protecI tion of life on the interurban roads ' of Indiana, passed by the 1911 legislature, is doing much toward diminishing injury and death on those carriers, was the assertion recently of members of the railroad commission of Indiana. With the decrease in casualties on the interurban lines, however, there is an apparent increase on the steam roads doing business in the state. During the last three days reports of sixteen accidents on the steam roads of Indiana have reached the office of the commission. Three of the accidents resulted in fatalities, and thirteen resulted in minor or serious injuries. Members of the commission attributed the decrease in accidents on interurban roads almost entirely to the class of men now being hired as motormen and conductors. Provisions of one law require roads to hire as motormen only those persons that have had at least one year's experience in interurban train work, and that clause has done much to save life and limb in Indiana, according to the commission. There are approximately 7.300 miles of railroad in Indiana, compared with 1,700 miles of interurban lines. Members of the commission argued that the casualty rate on the steam roads should be no higher than that on the interurban roads, because of the fact that approximately the same number of trains is run on the interurban roads as on the steam lines. The officials consider each car on the interurbans a train, since the hazard of each car is practically as great as that of a train. €>

by the commission show that 123 passengers were injured during January, February and March this year on the steam roads of the state, while •<& casualties, including nine deaths, were reported on the steam roads us occurring to travelers on highways intersecting with the right-of-way. Employees numbering 371 were victims of accidents, and 32 of them met death during the same months, while trespaasers on the railroad companies’ lands met with 70 accidents, 42 of which were fatal. During the same months interurban roads showed a much lower casualty total, a decrease of approximately 50 per cent compared with the rate of the corresponding months of 1910. «—I I The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jeffers on the corner of Eleventh and Elm streets, was the scene of a quiet but happy wedding at high noon Thursday, when their daughter, Miss Blanch, a highly respected young lady, plighted her vows to Mr. Roy Mumma, an estimable young man of this city. The pretty ceremony took place in the parlor, neatly arranged for the happy occasion, and was attended by only a few of the friends of the couple. Rev. Imler, pastor of the United Brethren church, officiated and pronounced the words making them husband and wife. Miss Gayly Nelson, who was asked to render the wedding marcn, responded, and the soft, sweet notes appealed much during the carrying out of the impressive service. Following the ceremony a dinner in three courses was served those present, after which the young couple received congratulations and best wishes of their many friends. The bride, who enjoys a wide circle of friends, is held in high esteem by all, and is one of the most popular young ladles in the city. The groom has for a number of years been employed by the Decatur Lumber company, and likewise commands the respect of all. They will at once go to housekeeping in a neatly furnished home that awaits them cn South First street. o TOM’S THE BOY. Tom Railing, the Decatur base ball wonder, who wins fame wherever he goes, and who this year is one of the big twirlers for the Cadillac, Mich., team, is certainly the “candy kid,” not only as a pitcher, but in handling the big stick, as the Chicago RecordHerald contained an article to this effect. He is called the “champ's” pitcher and has been more than making good during the entire season. In a game with Manistee on Tuesday of this week he got two home runs, a three-bagger and a single, which by the way is finding the ball of his opponent, Cadillac winning this game by a score of 11 to 1. The RecordI Herald had this to say; “It was Rail- ' ing. the champions’ pitcher, who won Cadillac’s game today from the ManisI tee Colts. The big twirler with four i times up got two home runs, a threebagger and a single. Today Railing 1 played in left field. Manistee was the easy picking. All the way they used ! two pitchers and the second proved unable to stop the winning streak of ' Cadillac, who hit the ball freely and good base running piled up the counts. There were but two errors made in ’ the game.”

! The ’Decatur public schools will I open on next Monday and ever}- detail has been arranged for that important occasion. Miss Fanny Fris- ■' inger has been selected to teach in I the South ward, taking the place of 1 Miss Hertha He!ler,„who has tendered I her resignation, deeming it best to rest a year on account of rather poor health. Miss Frisinger is a graduate of the state university and well qualified for a position in the schools. Mrs. W. A. Lower will again serve as supply teacher. The school board will appreciate it, if all pupils have their transfers in during the first week of school, as this will aid them greatly. The only change in the books this year is the algebra and It has been arranged so that those who have the old book, can use it, avoiding any extra expense by the change. The repairs at the Central building are progressing and the rooms there will be ready for business, better lighted and better ventilated than ever before. Get ready for school. o— — D. V.

The meetings which the Rev. Dawson of Decatur have been conducting at Oglesville, Ind., closed last Monday night, having been in session for three weeks. Great interest has been shown in the meetings, twenty-four being taken into the church, the members who are slack in attendance roused up and a good, live church established. A marked increase for the pastor of that church was secured through the efforts of Rev. Dawson, and the betterment of the church in every department was noticeable. Rev. Dawson arrived home this morning, greatly refreshed from his vacation which he spent with such good results, and the regular meetings of his church here will begin next Sunday morning.

The preparation for the fall collection of taxes has been completed by County Treasurer Yager and Deputy Ed Kintz, and they are now waiting for the rush. From September Ist to November Ist will be the usual busy period at that office. A marriage license was issued to Blanch M. Jeffers, 21, Decatur, and R. E. Mumma, lumberman, aged 24, Decatur. Peterson & Moran, the attorneys, have filed a new case, the title of which is, Fred Maurer, administrator with the will annexed, of the estate of Melchoir Maurer, deceased, vs. Fred Maurer et al., complaint for partition of real estate.

For the past nineteen years, Mr. Williams has been confined to his home, suffering from rheumatism, and that, coupled with the fever, has left him in a weakened condition. He is unable to leave his home to seek relief from the fever but is succeeding in breaking up its hold, and in a few days will probably be well again. Henry Heidamann had to return home from the Burke elevator where he is employed as engineer, he being unable to carry out his day’s work on account of sickness, which has been coming upon him in the typhoid fever style.

What had been thought to be gall stones was caused from the kidneys crowding the gall biad der and giving her the intense pains which she has suffered for some time. Dr. Clark, who was at Ft. Wayne Wednesday on professional business, | paid a short visit to his brother, Dr. Battel Clark, at New Haven, who has been very seriously sick for a number of weeks from pneumonia and other complications.
