Ute Welnesday afternoon a charge o f antault and battery with Intent to kill and murder was filed in the Adgtna circuit court against Eli W. 1 Steele, better known as Willard Steele, who Wednesday noon shot and wounded one of his employees, Jacob Keiper. at Steele's park, east of this C lty. His bond was fixed at $5,000, which he promptly furnished and was released from custody, he having given himself up voluntarily to the offi-] ce rs and remained at the jail with them by bls own consent and that of his attorneys before charges had been fl led against him. | The charge was made by Sheriff Thomas J. Durkin, and alleges that on May 22, the sald Kll B,e ele did a violent injury upon the jerson of. Jacob Keiper, by "then and there. | purposely, and with premeditated; malice, shooting the said Jacob Kelp-' er with a certain revolver, then and 1 there loaded with gun powder and | leaden ball, which said revolver the said Eli W. Steele then and there had snd held in his hands with intent then and there and thereby, him, the' said Jacob Keiper, unlawfully, feloniously. purposely and with premeditated malice, to kill and murder.” To Plead Self Defense. Mr. Steele, wno has engaged Judson W. Teeple and Heller, Sutton & , Heller, as his attorneys, will make a gr .g plea of self defense. The Kelp- ( a. youth has been with Willard Steele for ten years or more, being, it might ■ le ta'd. raised b." M-. fteele, as lie went there when hut n youth. He, worked hard for Mr. Steele and had ; saved during this time about a thou-j war.'' dollars, and bad a couple of be-re* "nd p wreon. and doing very well until he decided he wanted to do ' scm -thing else and went to work on the railroad as a section hand. He then got into the habit of drinking,] it s said, and squandered all his i money. He has been having more or less trouble since he began drinking, ard has been cjuaneiscme >ith Steele, the latter claims, Since the trouble Mr. Steele hastiied four or fre t!m 6 s without success to have Keiper and his father ejected from his property, they making their home in the building nt the park entrance Mr. Steele says he has threatened hf-.t. several times, and on one ac ■asio~ young Keiper got after him with a pitchfork. When he made for him | Wednesday and threatened h ! ra, Mr I Steele says he was certain that he " attack him again, and so fired,’ four shots having gone from the revolver which he had gotten for protection, but not all of them being aimed at Keiper. Quite recently Mr. Steele had settled with young Kei; • r for ork wh'ch he bad done for h'm and further disagree?.:ent arose. Kei' - er is said to I e s strong fellow, much larger than S’eele. Keiper is Better. The Keiper boy, bis physicians state, spent tt very good night, considering his condition, and it is. thought is slightly better. The bullet has not yet been secured, and as it is thought it will trevo safer to the lad to leave it in than to probe for It, when it is lodged so near the heart, and also owing to the weak condition of Keiper, it will probably be left in Mr. Steele has engaged the services of Dr. Clark to care for the boy, and also a trained nurse. Miss Blanche Harshbarger, who is caring for him at the county infirmary, where he wastaken Wednesday. Word from Keiper’s bedside at 3 o'clock this afternoon was very encouraging. While he was restless today and complained of pain in his back, he appeared stronger. The danger point will not be pased. however, for several days, but hope for his recovery now is much stronger. An less something sets in, as blood poisoning, it is thought he will recover. — O' Ode McCllsh, the get-rich-qulck man, is now on his way to Michigan City to join his son-in-law, Gert Revnolds, who was convicted a few weesk ago on a similar charge, that of conspiracy to steal. The motion asking for a new trial for Ode McClish was filed late Wednesday afternoon In the circuit court by his attorney, J. C. Moran, but was Promptly overruled by Special Judge R. H. Hartford of Portland, who heard the case. He immediately passed sentence upon‘ the verdict of guilty returned Wednesday morning by the Jury and gave McClish a fine of S2OO and from two to fourteen years in the state's prison. Sheriff Durkin was authorized to take MfcClish to the state s Prison, with the assistance of whomever he might desire, and he secured Policeman Melchi to accompany him. The two officers left this morning at ® o'clock over the interurban with their prisoner for Michigan City, •here he will enter upon the service of his sentence. McClish, however, is ®o stranger to prison walls, it is said, having been there before. In his motion asking for a new trial f orty-two reasons were given why he thought a new trial should be allowed, the greater number of them be‘og for the overruling of instructions tendered by the defendant. McClish

also stated that he should have a new trial because Cook had been permitted to answer questions as to what he did with the money after he put It In the envelope and also as to whether he received any money back. The allowing of John Hoffman to give detailed conversation with the defendant five years before the commission of the crime, was also a reason for asking for a new trial. Will Ward, who was charged in the same case with being his partner In the conspiracy to steal $5lO from Dun Cook, will have his trial on the charge Monday, June 3rd. McClish and Ward are also defendants in a similar case filed against them by Ralph Spade, and this has been set for trial next Monday, May 27th. GOOD PENSION ANSWER. Many Old Soldiers do Not Understand New Law Now in Effect. The Washington dispatch regarding the pension measure agreed upon' by the conference committee says: "Any veteran unfit for manual labor because of the illness or disease shall 1 receive S3O a moat<>, the maximum' under the law.” This is misleading, as It is evidently true that such veteran must first furnish proof (a very diffl cult matter at this late day) that the Illness or disease which now inpacielates him originated while in the j army. This provision is in no way i helpful unless the soldier now draws a pension under the general law,which, in reality, makes the same provision Those drawing under the act of June, 1890. will be In no better position under these provisions than ; before. To those on the onside this sounds like a very generous provision, I but it should be remembered that the war closed forty seven years ago, and the government demands proof, and those who have made the effort of late years at least have learned to their sorrow that “proof" was dead. 0 NOAH ZEHR RESIGNS. As Member of Allen County Board—ls Head of Chiropractic college. Dr. Noah Zehr, a former Berne boy, a former student In the Decatur high school, and later a graduate from the medical department of Indiana university. late a member of the Allen county medical board, has resigned, to become head of the Chiropractic college ."t Fort Wayne. The For* Wayne' Journal-Gazette says: “In an interview Wednesday, Dr. Noah Zehr, who declares that he has resigned as a member of the Alien County Medical society, said: “ ‘I have not, since my resignation, either practiced or taught the practice of medicine, and, as a matter of fact, I believe the system of chiropractic would be much more beneficial to mankind, than the practice of medicine, and accordingly, I am now one of the managers of the Ross College of Chiropractic, recently established in the city of Fort Wayne. And because of my belief in chiropractic," and my resignation accordingly, in the Allen County Medical society, 1 consider that no further defense is necessary."" o South Bend, Ind..

Yager, delegates to the Elks" state convention. now in session at Anderson, left this morning to attend the meeting, being held since Monday. A large gathering has already assembled and it is believed that five thousand Elks will be present for the parade to take place on Friday. Many of the state officers are already in attendance and one of the best gatherings of representatives is expected to be on hand for this time. o The display of the art and manual training classes shown at the Central school building is attracting the favorable attention of the many callers who are surprised and pleased at the variety and excellence of the work of t’ 3 students of the public schools.| Th > art work of the students under tie direction of the teacher, Miss Bess Schrock, is exceptionally good and there are clever sketches in water, crayon, pen and ink, showing a very high standard indeed attained by the pupils who have had a comparatively few years' study in this branch. Then there is the cut paper work, the rafiia weaving, the making of hats and bags, and crochet work, stenciling on paper and cloth, clay modeling, wood carving. Among the many displays is an aeroplane made by Robert Colter of grade seven, which is a perfect little model. The crochet work and embroidery work done by the girls of Miss Grace Coffee's rooms, the fifth and sixth grades, is worthy of special mention. The display began Wednesday afternoon and was open this afternoon also and vjill b- again Friday afternoon from 2 to 4 o’clock. o — A special meeting of the school board was held for the purpose of selecting the teachers for the ensuing year. Among the motions carried was one requiring all teachers who have not attended school within the last] three years, to attend some place at least six weeks during the coming summer vacation. Harry Fleming, who has been a teacher In the county schools for some time, and late at Berne, will serve as principal at the South ward, succeeding S. C. Cramer. Miss Fanny Frisinger, who taught at the South Ward last year, was placed in the high | school faculty, and her place at the' South ward filled by Miss Alma Kooken, who taught at Monmouth last

year. There are still two teachers to be selected for the high school. Two resigned, being Miss Dunathan, principal, who goes to the Lima high school the coming year, and Miss Nora Del Smith, who will take up advertising writing. As chemistry will be added to the high school course this ensuing year, this will mean the employing of one more teacher than was had last year. As Miss Frisinger was selected to fill one vacancy, this leaves two more teachers for the high school to be selected yet. None of their places have yet been designated. The janitors for the schools were rehired without change, except that of the South ward school, J. A. Smith having resigned. The following is the list as selected: High School —Fanny Frisinger, Clara B. Williams, D. A. Baumgartner, J. C. Tritch, Martin Worthman. Central School — Principal, Ed Christen; Mattie Bailey, Ella Mutschler, Matilda Sellemeyer, Bess Congleton, Elizabeth Peterson. : South Ward — Principal, Harry Fleming, Lulu Lankenau, Alma Kook- ! en, Eva Acker.

Supply—Dora Lower. Janitors —North ward; Amos Biggs: West ward, Dorse Hoagland; South 1 ward, John Beery; Central, Mike ' Wertzberger. i ° , There will not be a drop of rain the whole live-long day, And I’m to be Queen o' the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. —Tennyson's "The May Queen," Ideal May weather smiled its brightest for the second annual May festival given by the seventh and eighth grade students Wednesday afternoon i and made It an unprecedented success. The spacious central school lawn was thickly dotted with interested spectators who watched with pleasure the unfolding of the gorgeous spectacle step by step, in which fully one hundred students participated. At 2 o’clock the music, in triumphant strains heralded the approval of the grand pageant. This was led by the queen’s equipage. Fred Elzey and Flayd Enos, pages, guiding the pony that drew the chariot, in which the May Queen, Miss Blanche Biggs, rode in state, the chariot, gay with flowers and pink and green bunting. Her attendants followed and included the Misses Ruth Mayer, Zelma Stevens, Hope Hoffman, Helen Kinzle, Lelah Peoples and Hazel Smitley. They were all in gay costumes, dresses of white over white knickerbockers, braided and strapped with baids of red, white and blue, and wearings ribbons and flowers in their hair. Then came twelve girls of the scarf drill in white, tarrying pretty Maybaskets filled with flowers. Sixteen boys of the pole drill wore white trausers and middy blouses, and eight pennant girls carried blue D. H. S. banners with gilt letters. Ten boys of the Indian club drill were headed by their captain, Dick Burdg. These were of the eighth grade and were followed by the seventh grade, the girls carrying flowers and the boys leading bicycles, the wheels decorated by bunting and flowers. Thrice the pageant passed in review, only one accident occurring to mar the event. This was the frightening of the pony, which turned and threw the queen from the chariot. Beyound a good shaking up and fright, nothing serious resulted and the festival continued. The opening chorus, “A Maying We Will Go," was sung, and the “Flower Song," by the flower maidens. The queen was escorted in triumph to her throne—a flower-decked, leafy bower. She was crowned by Miss Zelma Stevens and given her scepter by Miss Hazel Kinzle, the queen responding to her subjects with a beautiful solo. Choruses, “With Hearts so Free,” and “Clink! Clink! Clink” with a "Dancing Song,’ and the class song, written by Mrs. Bailey, and the class yells were given. A pole drill by sixteen boys, a scarf drill by twelve girls, an Indian club drill by ten boys, a pennant drill by eight girls, were beautiful and worthy of special mention. The scarf drill will be repeated by the girls on Decoration day at the memorial service. A solo by Miss Hope Hoffman was appreciated, and the braiding of the May pole by twelve girls was a happy [ event. Piano music was furnished by Olive Perkins, Doris DeVoss and Hope Hoffman. The pupils have been working very hard under the careful and painstaking guidance of the teachers, Mi s. E. J Bailey, the Misses Ella Mutschler and Matilda Sellemeyer and Mr. E. S. Christen, who certainly deserve credit I for their successful festival. o — ' Superintendent Anderson of the Standard Oil company, with headquarters at Montpelier was in the city

Every one of the twenty-three graduates was given a place in the play and every one acquitted himself to perfection. Indeel the compliments heard today express the opinion that it was the best home talent play that has yet been given in the city, each one of the actors, many of whom have never appeared on the stage before even in amaterr productions, doing his part so well that it would be a credit to a professional player. The play was in threacts, with the college students and professors as principals. Through the play run the threads of several romances and love stories, and, however tangled they may have become, they are all straightened out in the last act and woven each into its own separate beautiful pattern. Professor Henry E. Burton, the dignified gray haired professor of philosophy in the college, with a string o' degrees a yard long appended to his name, was depicted by Edgar Vancil. His daughter Barbara, or “Bobbie," a true and loyal friend of her brother, Billy, was played by Miss Zelda Sebnitz, and Billy, the quarter back on the varsity team, an honest, freehearted, wholesome lad, with a true love for his sister, bj- Sherman Beery.

Count Andreas Cassovelli, an Italia adventurer, with the usual big, blaci mustache of the villian, who is hunt ing a rich wife, and has to make trouble for several lovers, to get her, wa unusually well played by Milton Ya ger. Neva Brandy berry very cleverl; played the part of Ruth Thurstcr. a maiden with a love for art and Peter. Peter, who was in love wit! Ruth, and had to scheme to meet he over the opposition of her father, a professor who objected to suitor:-, was represented by Paul Myers. Paul overcame the difficulties and made more, by pretending to be deaf an.l dumb in order to become Miss Ruth’s attendant. Then there were Ted Allen, an assistant professor, a part played by Charles Brodbeck; “Chuck,' Clinton, a freshman with no right; by Dallas Elzey: Tom Harrison, : sophomore, by Karl Battenberg; Don Hampton, a shy scientific student, by Will Bowers; Elsie Smythe, a breezy western girl from Butte, Montana, a rich maid who attracts the attention of the count, by Margaret Mills; Tabitha Tattler, the maiden boarding house landlady, and the college gossip. Frances Cole; breezy, chummy little Sally Sue Stevens, the Burton s next door girl, and Billy’s good friend, Helen Fonner; Dolly Dinsmore, Polly Preston and Mabie Johnson, happy little freshmen girls, by Jennie Long, Velma Lenhart and Blanch McCrory, respectively; and Maggie Mahoney, a little servant girl, by Gladys Kern. The teachers assisted in the drilling of the students, and to them is due much of the credit, also, for the excellent production. The affair was strictly a high school production, as the music was rendered by the high school orchestra, which is to be highly commended. o With the various extensive improvements being made by the St.

Joseph and Lutheran hospitals. Fort Wayne, Hope hospital, one of the three overcrowded institutions, has just completed aTrangements for the erection of a complete and moderu new hospital at a cost of $200,009.

Many Decatur people have been patientt there during the past few months, and Miss Irene Nfdlinger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nldlinger, of east of the city, is stil taking treatment there. The Fort Wayne Journal-G* zette of this morning contained the following relative to the new build ing: "Two hundred thousand dollars w"-l be raised in Fort Wayne by the women's Hope hospital committee and the general soliciting committee recently appointed by President George W. Beers to erect a new and thoroughly modern building to replace the structure now located at the corner of Washington and Barr. At a joint meeting of the committee held hist night this actlcn was settled upon The $200,000 to be raised will be for the erection of a new building alone and the floating debt will be c«-.re< for in addition.” - o ADAM WEIS RECEIVES DEGREE.
