Penve»l Colo., Sept. 25. Editor Dally Deswlrat: Dear Sir:—l tboagnt I would write a description of a llittle trip through the west, that and “F Partner took to recuperate <kr two energies.’’ We left Marion. Ohio, Sunday morning. September 17th\ over the Ene railroad. Started frokn Chicago Sunday evening over th)e Chicago & Northwestern and I tlion Pacific for Denver. The ride from Chicago to Denver, tbtsre is nothing of note to at 9p. m Monday. Left Tuesday morning over the Colorado Southern, tain, known as a switch back, reaching it takes a zig-zag course up the rnounwrite about. We arrived in Denver a narrow gauge railroad, running from Denver to Silver Plume, runs up an elevation of about 4,000 feet above Denver, the canon being so narrow in some places that rocks hang over the toad bed. With all these rocks above, J pine trees in some places clear to the top and mountain ash trees, w-ith their yellow foliage, with now and I then a waterfall and just a little strip of sky, viewed from the observation car attached to the rear of our train, it was a grand sight. The little engine puffs and puffs, going up grade, using al! its power, but coming back it will run from natural gravity. In going ’ I rem Idaho Springs to Silver Plume, ' we go over the famous Georgetown loop, where the railroad in order to, maintain its elevation has <.o cross it-t self. Silver Plue is the starting . point of the Argentine Central road.' a height of 14,000 feet. * At Idaho Springs we were met by Mr. Y. L. Patrick, an old friend of Mr. Burman's, who took us to the Doril ’ mine, up in the mountains, of which ' l.e is manager. Mr. and Mrs. PatricK Eve in a bungalow about 8,000 feet above sea level and you would wonder what the people could find to live on away up there. Well! I will tell you of some of the good things we hr.l to’ eat, grown in a garden this time of , the year—green peas, head lettuce. • a.uips, beets, dv;y, vuuiulou*js, with the finest butter and Jcisey cream. The Murray House may heat ' it in quantity, but not in quality. One evening after supper, we went up the creek a half mile to the dam to see 1 the beavers at work. They build ( day and work all night. They build ’ their homes of the trunks of the mountain ash trees, which grow so plentifully on the mountains. They chew the trees off close to the ground, i and they look as though they were chopped off with an ax. They drag their trees down to the edge of the water, jump in the water, swim underneath the tree, keeping it afloat, ! until they get it to some little island, or spot of ground, then gnaw the bark off in strips, take the trunks of the ees over to their house and plaster with mud. and store the bark in ’heir house for their winter provision. After remaining with our friends three days, we returned to Denver J and on Friday took a trip on the Mos- ' fat road, named by the public in hon-1 or of its builder, David H. Moffat.! Leaving Denver at an elevation of >,- j 170 feet, the track rises by uniform ' grade, until the back-bone of the American continent is reached at Corona, a height of 11,860 feet (the highest point reached by any standard gauge railroad.) For the first twenty miles we pass the valleys and foot hills. In some places traveling eight miles in order to gain one mile, and in a distance oi twelve miles you pass through twenty-eight tunnels. Tiin.ugh the tunnel district the cost of construction was two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per mile. The grade up " hat is called the giant's ladder is two hundred and eleven feet to the mile. Pass Local Option Peak, named so because is is "high and dry; Mt, Epworth, named I.' the Epworth league; Yankee Doodle lake, 1,000 feet below us; Devil s slide, 1,500 feet below, pass through 5,000 feet of snow sheds, the old Mormon trail, and so on. too many points of interest to mention in a single letter. After a delightful day, we got back to Denver at 6 p. m., with memories of a mountain journey we shall never forget. It must be seen to be appreciated. And now. as the ministers say, “With these few remarks, I leave yon.” Remaining your friend, JENNIE FI’RM AN. The P! i SP n f Anios W. Snyder, surviving partner of Snyder <t- Stuckv, against Christ and Jacob .Musser, for 'he collection of the balance of a slßl tote, demand $l5O, which began trial Thursday morning, went to the jury ibout 11 o'clock today, and an hour later a verdict was returned in favor ot thedefendants. This reverses the judgment rendered in the court of Justice Joel Liddy of Berne, from which it was appealed, judgment having been rendered there in favor of t-he plaintiff for $115.51. The court room was an animated scene Friday during progress of the trial of the divorce suit brought by F. Mulligan of Fort Wayne.

against Anna B. Mulligan, the case having been venued here from Allen county, and was heard before Special Judge D. D. Heller. A large number of the friends of both parties were present and testified as witnesses, returning to Fort Wayne on the i o'clock car. The evidence was ail given today, but the matter taken under advisement by the judge until later, when his decision will be rendered. Ry terms of a compromise the wife will probably be given $950 alimony. Mr. Mulligan is a machinist in the Itcwser plant and gets, it is said, a yearly salary of $3,000. Margaret Reber vs. Earl Reber, divorce and alimony, demand, $1,000; demurrer to cross-complaint of defendant tiled by plaintiff Demurrer overruled and exceptions by plaintiff. Answer in one paragraph by plaintiff to J cross-complaint. Set for trial October 25th. '■ | Upon petition for change of venue from the county the case of Frank H. Hilgemann et al. vs. Henry C. Fuhrman, suit on contract, demand. SI,OOO. was sent to the Jay circuit court, ten days being given to perfect the change. ( The final report of David E. Smith,' administrator of the John E. Smith [ , estate, was approved and the adminis- : ;rator discharged. 1 The transcript and papers in the 1 case oi Joseph D. Krick vs. E. Bun Lenhart et al., for conversion of property, demand, $40.00. were received In the circuit court from the court of Washington Kern, a justice of the peace of St. Mary s township, where judgment was rendered against the plaintiff The case was venued from the court of Justice Stone, where it was first filed, to 'Squire Kern's court. A. P. Beatty, attorney for Henry Krick, has filed suit against Earl and Ezra Reber, on note, demand. SIOO. Real estate transfers: Henry Bremerkamp to Julius Haugk, lot 82, and] part of lot 83, Decatur, $6500. o POLICE COURT NEWS. Two affidavits were filed before Squire Stone on criminal charges today. In one Dan Straub charges Frank Jones with beating a board bill. The date of the trial has not been set. * but it will probably be held as soon as ; a return is made on the warrant. The second is for the same charge and is issued to apprehend Hal Martin, who beat Jerry Burkhead out of a few weeks' board. Martin is the aeronaut who made the ascensions at the fair . nd carnit al. which was heie this summer. He will also be tried as soon as apprehended. CARL OF THANKS. " We thank our neighbors for the many kindnesses shown us; for their sympathies and words of comfort; for i heir beautiful floral tokens. We also thank the First Methodist ■ Episcopal Sunday school for their I st eet message of words and their I tribute of flowers. Our thanks, too, to the order of ’ Eastern Star, and to the Yeomen lodge for their floral expressions of 1 sympathy in our bereavement: to (he girls who assisted at the funeral, and to the quartet for its beautiful sones. Our hearts go out to our friends who did so much to assuage our grief. All these expressions of love during the sickness and burial of our darling Ruth, have added new lusters to the jewel of friendship, and have inspired us to be more kind. C. L.

J Sunday in Neighboring Town. » The town of Willshire is base ball 1 mad, and when a town of its size gets r it, they get it all over. Decatur pen- ! pie know how it is, for they have gone - through it at various times in the past. ! The Ohio team has secured the serv- • ices of a half dozen good amateurs, in ■ eluding three or four Decatur boys , and by the way they are putting up an . article of ball that makes any of the ‘ towns go some. About three weeks . ago the Toledo Melvins defeated the ! Willshire club, but two weeks ago the i tables were turned. Now the third and deciding game for the championship is to be played next Sunday and ■ a big crowd Is expected. According to the Toledo Blade the Melvins are' • coming down to win. having secured • the services of Ralph Comstock, who! ■ created a sensation in the Cotton I • > States league this summer by winning ■* twenty-two out of twenty-six games , He has been signed by the Minneapolis 1 ' team for next year. A number of De- - catur people will no doubt go over to see the game.

The Rise to Power. < Considerable activity is being evi- ' denced in the promulgation of the fir ■ i prevention idea and interesting book I ' lets on the subject give statistics and c | facts of great interest. , ! This idea fostered by sound think- c .. ers is being taken up by many of our 1 leading statesmen and public men and 1 is being advovated by all who have ’ made a study of economic conditions. 1 The booklets issued by the committee of publicity and education at Chic;,- '' go gives a pledge which is urged ■- ’ be adopted and contains instruct!- ; ~ 1 ' how to avoid the common causes < t 1 i fire. It is a known fact that iulh h;.l. s 4 j ol the fires are caused by carelessne ‘ and the pledge goes to some length to ' insure against this. The average pro - ' erty loss is $250,000,0'9! and most - 'it is preventable. Defective flues a ! responsible for thirteen per cent < ' ■ all disastrous fires, and it is especiail. urged that all flues be inspected be ' fore being used. The adoption of the pledge genera' ily will result in securing lower ins - . ante rates and will prove benefit i- '. to al! property holders. With fires costing the United States $506 per minute, the file pre vention pledge is timely and is worth? of the consideration of all properl y 1 holders. t Q Forty-five pretty Japanese invitations issued the first of the week by Mrs. E. G. Coverdale for an afternoon party Thursday gave a little hint to the recipients of the nature of the aifair. but the thirty-three guests who responded to the invitations were no doubt surprised when they passed the portals of the Coverdale home on Third street to find themselves so realistically transported to the isle of the cherry blossoms, and all else dainty and pretty that is associated with the island home of the Honouraides. Everywhere in the rooms through which a soft twilight came, were twinkling lights gleaming through pretty Japanese lanterns in all their pretty colors and characteristic decorations, suspended In all the rooms from the ceilings, and surrounded with gaily-tinted Jap butterflies. Portieres between the rooms were looped with gay ribbons, and suspended from the opening in the middle were large Jap parasols. Great bowls of golden rod, yellow nasturtiums and chrysanthemums, on stands, banked ■ on mantels and bookshelves, against a , background of delicate Japanese screens, carried out the yellow color - scheme in the front parlor. Through . the gay vistas, from the back parlor came a view equally pretty, the same gay decoration in other colors being I | carried out there. A little alcove at i the south side, with its white panels and green background, was especially t pretty with a large Jap lantern sus- 1 ® fl ®

pended from the center, and Japanese parasol as a background, as well as the dainty panel pictures depicting Japanese life. A bowl of red salvia on a taborette, with large jardinieres of white asters mingled with the pale lavender and purple of petunias placed on slender-legged Japanese stands, over which hovered large butterflies, carried out the scene more truly, and 1 on mantels and tables were purple little flowers which so truly belong to this oriental isle. Everywhere pinned to the walls and draperies were the large white and yellow chrysanthemums. the Japanese national flower. Fussing to this very charming oriental setting, the guests were received [ by the hostess, and her guest ot honor, Mrs. L. W. Cooper, of Indianapolis. The hostess was becomingly gowned in a frock of white voile with which she wore an embroidered coat, and Mrs. Cooper wore a very handsome | costume of cream silk made princess | style with low neck and with trim j mings of pearl and gold. To carry out further the Jap Idea, two young girls, the Misses Veda Hensley and Glennis Mangold, dressed as Japanese girls, in pretty silken kimonas, and with other features ct j the orient, waited beyond, to ass the guests in finding their places. A flutter of fans and the animated conversation. with the mingling of guests added the fullest degree of life ami cheerfulness to the scene, and made the affair one of the prettiest and most successful of the season. The entertainment features were ver.delightful. The first was a contest entitled. "On Their Honeymoon.' Yellow cardboard cut in the form of and desigmed as an old “good luck shoe,” known to all bridal parties, were handed to each guest, and on the back of these shoes, which were looped with bows of red ribbon, were written twenty questions, to be answered with some word pertaining to a shoe or its making, the whole telling a very pretty honeymoon story. Three guests guessed eighteen questions correctly and a cut was made for the honors. Mrs. Ed Coffee won the first, a Japanese dish, and the booby prize, a dainty vase, was awarded Miss Fanny Hite. Another interesting and instructive contest was a map game. Pinned toi the walls of the rooms were papers on ' which were drawn figures that might at first seem to be Japanese puzzles, but which were in reality the outlines of states, and these the guests were asked to guess. Mrs. John Peterson deciphered the greatest number — nineteen —ana was awarded a beauti lul Japanese cracker bowl as a prize, while Kate Henneford secured the booby, a vase. A very realistic Japanese tea par’y was next in order. The dining room v as given over to this and was tastefully decorated, myriads of gay red and yellow lanterns and butterflies ’ swinging from the ceilings. The same floral decorations were carried out 1 ere as in the other rooms, the side 1 oard being banked with the delicate w bite of cherry blossoms mingled -. ith the little purple field flowers. In ene corner under a large Japanese ;.rasol stood the tea table covered with a dainty Japanese figured tea cloth. A screen with Japanese panels ; nd pictures was placed behind this .a. background, and against, this, gim-ded by twinkling green and red tayers, stood the hostess as she poured from a dainty Japanese tea urn into Jan <-ups and saucers the tea, which was served to the guests, seated Japanese style on cushions on the floor. The refreshments throughout carried out the Japenese idea, the first course being chop suey and rice, served by the Holthouse Case caterer, and tea. the second course being almond shaped nabiscoes. white angel food cake with cherries, yellow, lavendar and red mintk and cherry ice, guarded by tiny Japanese parasols as souvenirs. The Itostess was assisted in serving by the Japanese girls and Miss Verena Niblick and Mrs. L, A. Holthouse. When sett-respect goes out of the door, pride and ambition will soon follow. —John Emery White. Judge W. J. Vesey and daughter, Sallie, of Fort Wayne, and their guest.

Cramer Thursday brought to this office a stock of home-grown peanuts, which he raised at his home on Mercer Avenue, and which is at trading many, owing to to the fact that they are home-grown. The stock is full of the fruit, and although they were planted merely for a trial, he has been quite successful in the initial attempt. Decatur people who have placed their confidence in osteopathy, and who have been taking treatments as the occasion would permit will from now on be able to receive regular treatment. Dr. Starkweather. M. I).. D. 0., who has but recently returned lioni Europe, where he has been making a special study of clinical work, has taken apartments just over the Bcwers Realty company's office, where he will practice his profession. Dr. Starkweather is one who carries all o! the necessary credentials, being a I licensed osteopath, a graduate front 1 the American School of Osteopathy a' Kirksville. Mo., in 1904. and also a IH>st-graduate of-the American college of Osteopathy, medicine and surgery ot Chicago, 111. He has been conducting a place of business at Atlantic j City, N. J., until last May, when upon , disposing of his interests there, he left I ter Europe where he spent the summer months in study. He has leased the rooms over the Bowers Realty company's office where he and Mrs. Starkweather will make their home, while he will practice in the front rooms. That there is an excellent field for this profession is known to all and that he will meet success is assured. Mrs Elizabeth Morrison, who' leaves tonight for Oaxaca, Mexico, where she will make her future home, | today tendered her resignation as I a member and president of the library 1 board and Judge J. T. Merryman appointed as her successor Mrs. John Niblick. Mrs. Morrison, since the very i inception of the activities in securing the Decatur public library, which were begun more than five years ago, the library having celebrated its fifth an niversary las» July 20th, has been one ' of the leading workers, and has serv-' ®d during the entire time as president if the board. It was due chiefly to tei work and enterprise that the li>rary was secured for the city, and I hat its great growth and prosperitv I Lave been brought about. She contributing much in a material way, as well! as lending her sympathy and assistance in planning for the establishment of the institution and the carrying on o' the work. That her successor is a worthy and capable one, will be conceded by aJi, and no better choice could have been made by the pudge in his selection of Mrs. Niblick to carry on the work, as president of this, one of the leading educational insti tutions of the city. Besides many gifts made heretofoie by Mrs. Morrison to the library it will e much indebted to her lor several more fine gifts made yesterday. On the north side of the library will be noted a handsome case filled with curios gathered by her in her extensive travels both here and abroad, which she is now contributing ito the library.

Kora Jones, the young man wh, mede the last balloon ascension at the fair grounds last week, taking the place of Professor Martin, who had the contract for three ascents, closed a deal with Mr. Martin, he becoming the owner of the big bag, and will, from now on will take contracts sion of cutting the air. He has an agreement to make an ascension at Muncie on the seventh of October, and Iromn then on will take contracts wherever called upon. He has made but one ascension, the one here, which was regarded as the best ever seen by Decatur people. — Slowly, but certainly, it is given out, progress is being made with the work of raising the remaining $915 required of the $4,000 to buy the right-ofway for the extension of the Fort Wayne & Springfield traction line from Decatur to this city. It was hoped at the beginning of the last effort to raise the I money this week, but it will hardly be 1 done that soon, it is now thought. More encouragement than before, however, is being given those in charge of the solicitation of funds, and each day this week has seen some substantial decrease of the amount te-j I quired. More than one hundred <,o.-■ i lars was pledged Wednesday ami ■Thursday, and there was promise th:these amounts would be duplicated 1 Friday. •■President and General Manager John ’ H. Koenig was in Portland from Decatur the first of the week, and after leaving instructions with the local committee, leit lor other points along the line. There a- ea number of small details in conne- .cn with the extension work, to ’ e looked alter and while this is being d ■ e. additional time will ' be given the 1- ■■ •I subscription solicitors. Many of those approached, it has ‘been learned. v- not understood I I that they weie • -t required to pay] any of their pledged amounts until the cars were turn ia: A clearer understanding of this proposition, it is stated, has brought a few subscriptions that were in the first instance refused. Those in charge of the local work now express themselves as sanguine of the road's final building, although . the slowness in securing the right of way pledge, will delay the building of the road. —Portland Commercial-Re-view.
