Decatur Democrat, Volume 57, Number 31, Decatur, Adams County, 1 August 1912 — Page 3

An agitation has been started in the vicinity of New Corydon. Jay county, and Wabaah township, Adams county, for the dredging of the Wabash river from a point east of New Corydon to a point northwest of Linn Grove, a stretch of some ten or fifteen miles, and a meeting will be held next Monday in Geneva by those interested in the movement. The agitation was aroused, it is itaid. by the recent heavy floods, when crops on many of the entire farms along this stream were destroyed by the high waters Several years ago the Wabash river In Ohio was dredged by the citizens, to the state line. This however, gave them no outlet, so they took up the matter and dredged the stream across the Indiana line, about two and a half miles northwest Into Indiana in Jay county, at no cost at all to the Indiana people. . This was not the help it seemed, as it provided an outlet for the Ohio residents, but made a catchbasin of the Indiana lands beyond the dredging. The deeper and straighter channel thus formed for the Ohio riverside residents worked well for them, but the narrower, shallower < hannel of the stream in Indiana, in .lay and Adams counties, could not carry off the waters when they were especially high, and consequently let them escape over the farms much to the detriment of the crops. This was especially noticeable in the last rains, when the floods were greater than they had been in thirty years, and all the residents along the river were awakened to a realization of the need of the dredging The complaint that too large a num her of trami>s is again infesting the city has come to our notice, and some' of the work which is going on, and ; »t believe it would prove beneficialj to the people in general if they would ' guard the many loose articles which are sc apt to be left lying about. The last to come to our notice is from the R. J- Holthouse home, where the frequent visitors, as elsewhere, mad. , *n early Wednesday morning call. It ; was about 4 o’clock, the break of day ' just beginning to appear, when Mrs Holthouse, with the children, who. sleep upstairs, heard a knock at the door, and some one walking about or. ; the porch. Not desirous of being dis ’ titrbed at this time of the morning. ! ■ nd somewhat timid to answer a call at this hour, she let the intruder knock tiwny. Later, upon arising, and > not s'ispicionliic anything, made no further investigation until when break last time came, and w ith the necessity of butter and milk, she found that a. bottle of milk, a full pound of butter, just purchased the evening before, and some meat were missing. Noth : Ing could be done but secure other articles, but will hereafter keep the daily necessities wnere it will be i more convenient for the family to secure than the unwelcome visitors. Others have been pestered w ith the I daily influx and the best way to be on j the safe side is to keep yo'.'.r loose ! articles under cover and kee; an eye ! on them when these knights of the j road call. ■ ■< • I Washington, D. July 25—(Spec-, ial to Daily Democrat)— Business in, the house was suspended for an hour while Representative Norris. Nebras-. ka, progressive, denounced as fraudu-l lent. President Taft s nomination at | Chicago. He replied to a speech of i Representative Mondell. He did not . have a prepared speech, but spoke right off the bat, ridiculing the claims that Taft’s nomination was virtually "regular and legal.” Washington, D. C„ July 25—(Spec-1 ial to Daily Democrat) —That J- Pier-[ l>ont Morgan, H. Frick and E. H. Har : riman were contributors to the republican campaign fund in 1904 was stated as '‘probable’’ today by George R. Sheldon, New York banker, and former treasurer of the republican national committee before the senate; committee investigating campaign | contributions. “Did you get the names, of Morgan and Frick of men official- j ly connected with z the campaign, asked Senator Clapp. “Mr. Frick told me he had contributed.'' Sheldon answered, “and 1 had the other information of other members of Morgans friends that Morgan contributed." "Do you know the amount contributed by Morgan and Frick?" “No, sir,' was Sheldon's reply. Indianapolis. Ind., July 25 —(Spec-j lal to Daily Democrat) —Indianapolis felt some relief from the heat today, when the mercury declined slightly, from its record breaking attitude made ■ Wednesday. It started in at 75 degrees at 7: a. m. and gained a degree an hour the first three hours, while yesterday the temperature began at 78 and jumped to 84 by 9 oclock. According to the weather bureau it will not be as hot as yesterday. —— ———o Everything combined to make the wedding of Miss Rosena Hildebrand and Mr. Otto H. Scherry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Christ Scherry of Magley. one of the prettiest and happiest of the season, the ceremony being solemnized Wednesday afternoon at 3

oclock at the Salem Reformed church' near Magley. The wedding party entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's' wedding march, played by Miss Clara Schneider, and took their places at the altar, where tbe Rev. C. H. Schneider officiated. The bride wore a lovely gown of white messallne sat.ln with pearl trimmings and chiffon fringes and puffings. A shimmering | white vail, fastened to her hair with flowers, fell about her and the flowers she carried were bride’s roses. Her bridesmaids were the Misses Etnma Kruetzmann and Sarah Jaberg, who were prettily gowned in white silk, wearing sweet peas in their hair and carrying white carnations. The groom's attendants were John Heineke and Albert Scherry. A wedding reception followed the church ceremony and was given at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Hildebrand. attended by two hundred fifty guests. The pretty decorations of the home were in pink and white and were carried out with flowers and crepe paper streamers. At 6 o'clock a dinner was served, the pretty color scheme being carried out in the table decorations. The centerpiece was the handsome plain white wedding cake. Among the many attendants were several guests from a distance, including Mr. and Mrs. Harry Knatz of Fort Wayne. Harvey Burkett. W. J. Stuckey. Heme: T. J. Schmuck, Baltimore; Mr. and Mrs. John Breiner, Preble. Very many beautiful presents were received by the couple and attested the love and esteem in which they are held. The newly married couple left on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls. ; and after August Ist will be at home at Garrett, where the groom has a charge as pastor of the German Re- ' formed congregation. The groom was graduated this spring from the theological seminary of his denomination [at Sheboygan. Wls., both he and his I helpmeet being excellently qualified to take up and carry on the good work in his chosen profession o ONLY SLIGHT ACCIDENTS i Marred the Pleasure of Old Settlers’ Reunion. A large crowd attended the old setj Hets' meeting in the Spehegi-r grove ::i Linn Grove. Everything passed off ! smoothly just as advertised. A fast | game of base ball by the Berne team ' and Linn Grove, was played, the score ! being 5 to 4 in favor of Berne. Harry Myers of the home team made good at I third base, considering his having been injured in a game la-t Sunday. A few accidents occurred during the day. A small runabout automobile skidded off an eighteen-foot embank- : ment into the Three Mile creek. No one was hurt, and the machine was not damaged. William Studler skidI ded off of the high embankment In Lorero lane, south of the Three Mile bridge with his large new touring car I and a team of horses pulled him out. i The machine received but small damI age. Henry Schindler had his no v i buggy torn into many pieces when j the horse broke loose in the picnic woods. o APPOINT RECEIVER. Bluffton. Tad.. July 25—(Special to I Daily Democrat'—As a direct result of the head-on collision between two | cars on the Marion, Bluffton & EastI ern traction line near Marion a few ' weeks ago, costing the lives of four and injuring sixty, the Union Savings & Trust company of Bluffton was today appointed receiver for the road. The appointment followed a suit ask ing for $4,000, which was filed in the l Wells circuit court by Aaron Simmons and Frank Dairy, attorneys for the i road when it started operations six ' year ago. H. C- Arnold, president, and R. F. Simmons stated that the company was insolvent and asked that the court appoint a receiver that the operation of the road might be continI ued. BEVERIDGE CHAIRMAN. Chicago, HI, July 25—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Senator Dixon announced today that Senator Albert J. Beveridge had been chosen temporary chairman of the national convention of the progressives in Chicago. — o— — Two traveling salesmen, well filled from the flowing bowl, from which I thev imbibed in this city Wednesday j evening, and left on the 5:30 car for Fort Wayne, created quite a disturbI ance on the car near Monmouth, the I trouble arising over the matter of a ’ S eat. One of the men, it seems, had i taken two seats in the smoker, on two of which he placed himself, his feet, 'his grips, etc. When the other fellow came through the well filled car he found no seats available and when he came to the one man ensconced Iso comfortably on two seats, he made his understand that he thought he .'ought to divide up with a traveler less I' fortunate. The traveler, comfortably ( I seated objected, and one word lead! Ito another, and the men finally came, ‘ to blows, but were separated in time . 1 by Conductor Ed Green, who appeared ' on the scene. Both men, however.

' were bleeding from wounds received, , one from a wound behind tbe ear, and the other on the forehead. — -o — H. E. Barnard, chief chemist of the state board of health, has issued a warning to tbe housewives of the state to be on their guard against prepared compounds for use in canI ning and preserving fruits, vegetables, etc. “When the canning season sets in,” said Mr. Barnard, “many housewives are canvassed by agents who have prep .red preservatives to sell. These p eservatlves as a rule contain borax, or Its derivatives, salicylic acid. Either is dangerous to the health and if the food thus prepared is offered for sale or served in a board ing house, the seller or person serving it will be liable under the state food law. "The agents for the compounds us ually put up a plausible story of how much better the fruit or vegetables will keep if the preservative or compound is used. All the housewife needs is sugar, salt, spices or vinegar, the natural preservatives. Her canned stuffs will but be pure. Purchase and use of the compounds is not only a needlebs use of money, but is dangerous to the health of the family. The news of the death of J. ('. Peltier, a pioneer in the undertaking business in the middle west, and one of Fort Wayne's oldest business men, which occurred Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the family home in Fort Wayne, was received with sorrow lere, and especially by Granama Fer•y, who was a cousin of Mr. Peltier s .-tther, the late Lewis Peltier, whose death occurred in 1904. Mr. Peltier had been in failing health the past five years and for five weeks last past, had been bedfast. Mr Peltier, who was sixty-eight years of age, was born September 21, 1843, in Fort Wayne. Tbe father, Lewis Peltier, was born within the stockade walls of the old fort and was the first white man born in the old settlement The lives of the lather, Lewis Peltier, and of Grandma Ferry of this city were closely woven together in the early history of old Fort Wayne, and quite tecently both held offices in the Allen County Pioneer association. Mrs. Ferry of this city was honorary vice president and Mr. Lewis Peltier, honorary president. At a meeting held a few years ago, both were given gold badges and handsome bouquets of flowers. The father and son were associated with each other in business in Fort Wayne for many years. Lafa' ette. Ind., July 25 —The apple in Indiana a’-.aya ha« been a moneymaker for the man who takes care of his trees. The crop of 1911 was above normal in the northern sections, hut almost nothing in the southern counties. The crop this season is not especially heavy in any section, but is general throughout the state, with present prospects for the heaviest yield throughout the southern section. Trees that were overburdened last season are resting this season, and this is to be expected. Professor C. G. Woodbury, secretary of the Indiana Apple Show, which is to be held at Indianapolis, November 13-19, 1912. says: “If you allow your apple trees to overbear this year you may expect an almost complete failure next season. This is due to the fact that the fruit buds for next year's crop are now being formed. The main object of any organism is to reproduce itself. The appletree has set an abundant e of fruit this season, and it exerts every effort to mature all this seed. Tbe result is that all the food material it rushed to tbe fruit and none is let for the formation of fruit buds. You get a large crop of very small apples this season and none at all next season. This overbearing occurred in many northern Indiana orchards last season and explains why many trees arc without fruit this year. If the orihardist could be convinced that he should thin his fruit there would be fewer "off years." The trees would not onty be more regular in their bearing habits, but the fruit obtained would be larger, more perfect and better flavored. “Indiana has this year about 75 per cent of a normal yield. The normal yield is generally considered about 75 per cent of the full crop. This gives Indiana in 1912 about 50 per cent of a full crop. This apparent shortage in the crop was brought on by insects and fungus attack early last spring. “The sprays applied were washed off by the heavy rains and the fruit was open to attack. The majority of this injured fruit has now fallen and. on the trees which received the later sprays, the crop is excellent. While, the total crop will only be 75 per, cent of the normal crop, the number , of barrels of fancy stock will be up to the average.” Every apple grower in the state should plan to thin his fruit until the ' apples stand about four or five inches * apart. This will produce fancy fruit—- ' such as will win a prixe at any show. I Professor Woodbury also suggests that all growers plan to make an

exhibit at the 1912 apple show. Numerous classes and libera) premiums are offered. There is a place for the single plate, as well as the car lot. This show is a move to acquaint the nation with the horticultural resources of Indiana. It is a splendid 1 opportunity to get abreast of the times and to see and learn about the ' latest and best methods of apple growing and marketing. o "The beets In this locality are doing fine, but they need cultivation," said E. M. Wagner, field manager for the sugar company, this morning, when asked what the outlook Is at this time. He added: "The beet crop is now at the most important stage of the season and I am afraid many farmers will neglect the opportunity to secure a great big, paying crop. But few have cultivated their beets since the heavy rains of the past two weeks and the ground which is now getting dry around here, will soon begin to crack. When that happens the beets will stand still. The chances are that a hot, dry spell will follow the rainy weeks, and unless tbe beets have been cultivated they cannot tt'.'lve. GET IN YOUR FIELD AND LOOSEN UP THE DIRT AT ONCE. We realtzthat you are busy with your oats and hay and other crops, but you will h ;ve no way of making money faster tnan by taking care of your beet crop NOW Those few farmers who have taken care of their beets, by cultivating since the rains, have fine looking fields and they will be doubly repaid for their labor. F. H. Hubbard has returned from a business trip to South Bend, where he looked after affairs connected with the St. Louis branch of the HollandSt. Louis company Christen & Smith, who are putting in the six-inch water main for the citi-' zens' committee, that the sugar fa< ■ tory may have proiier fire protection, ’ are getting along nicely and will soon complete the job. They met with considerable bad luck, on account of the heavy rains which caused cave-ins, but they are making good progress now. The line is about 1,700 feet , long. C. C. Schafer, chairman of the music committee for Old Home Week, has received assurance that the famous Newsbays band. under control of the Indianapolis News, will be in Decatur for at least one day of the big week. As a number of the lads are in school, it is possible that the band can be secured for but one day. Saturday 1 , but an effort to get them two or three days is now being made, with some hopes of success. This band is j . one of the best in the state, composed ' of fifty pieces, and those who heard them when thev were here last fall, I will agree that they will be a good at-1 traction Besides this, however, there will be a number of other bands, including the Decatur City band, rapidly becoming one of the best in this part of the state, and a number of other good ones. The music is to be a sea- ! ture of th.e week Mr. Quinn, representing the Barnes . Amusement company of Chicago, left . Wednesday evening. While no con- . tract was signed, it is likely that one ! or two and perhaps three of his big free acts will be used at the Old Home , Week celebration. The committee de- . sires to look up some others before , they decide, for they will not attempt to give the people anything but the best. . o COURT HOUSE NEWS. Silas W.

The grappling hooks of the Hensleys, often seen at the jewelry store in ' this city, came into good play recently at Rome City, in rescuing the body of Neal Teal, the young man who was seized with a fit while out alone in a row boat last Saturday, and who fell into the lake and was drowned. Men tried for some .time to get the body with some sort of illy contrived irons, no others being available. Finally, little David Hensley,44ho arrived on the scene, remembered the excellent

hooks at their cottage, and rode post haste on his wheel to get them. Within twenty minutes after trying them the body was recovered, but life was extinct. The body was found about forty feet from the young men's boat, the other irons having without doubt moved the body, without effecting a ' bold. CHANCE FOR GIRLS. David E. Adkins, a merchant of Sellersburg, has an ad for a wife in a Charlestown paper. The ad reads: "Wanted, a Wife—l am a prosperous business man about thirty-five years old, and own an attractive home in Sellersburg, Ind., and am not bad looking. I am fond of pleasure, own a touring car, have plenty of money, and believe 1 would know how to love a good wife and show her a nice, easy time all the rest of her life. 1 should like to meet some nice, handsome, true-hearted girl who has been trained right and who wants to give her love to a man who will give her his in return, help her make a home, and treat her as a husband should.” o REASONS IN WRITING Must be Given if You Get Mail at the General Delivery Window. Washington, D. C., July 25—Approving individual action taken by postmasters of many large cities. Postmaster General Hitchcock has issued a general order which has the avowed purpose of checking the use of general delivery windows for carrying on flirtations and clandestine correspond ence.. Any persons who wish mail at general delivery windows, instead of home addresses, may hereafter be required to give their reasons in writing. The hoop mill being built by Mr. John Vail in the west part of the city | Adams street on tbe mill lot forI merly occupied by the stave factory, is being rushed at this time for occupation by early fall. The mill as planned will probably be one of the largest of its kind in this section of ■ the country, two large buildings now . being up and two mqre proposed. Two buildings now up are about six ty by forty feet in size, erected from : heavy timbers and covered with sheet ' iron siding. The two other buildings to be built wilt be of substantially the same construction and will present a | large front for the factory. Some of i the machinery is already here it being I purchased in Chicago a month or so back by Mr. Vail who made a trip i there for the purpose. j Workmen are now engaged in set- | ting three boilers for the use of the i i plant. The hoop factory will require ( | lots of steam both for power and heating purposes and three large boilers I are there. It is thought that the plant I i can be ready for occupancy by early I fall, as the work remaining to be done i can be pushed appreciably. The mill when completed will employ a large number of men, probably thirty in and around the factory and as many more throughout the country getting out the timber. The mill will be so built that it may operate throughout the year giving the men winter employment as well as summer. With this mill, thheading mill, the fence factory, the tile mill, and handle factory, the city is getting a line of factories that employ men all seasons of the year, something of very great value to the town's welfare. At the Coil Heading factory on west Jefferson street the construction of the new fireproof dry kiln is being rapidly pushed. The walls of cement blocks have already been placed and the carpenters are now putting on the roof timbers. The pipefitters are working busily to place the eleven thousand feet of steam line which will beat the room and when that is finished the work may be closed. It will probably be a couple of weeks before the building can be used. Tbe managing board of the Old Home Week held their regular meeting Thursday night and proceeded with a few minor arrangements. Further advancement is impossible now. until the finance committee has completed its work and the president was by motion instructed to notify them to proceed at once. There are still a number of people who have not been called on by the board. This is to be done within the next week and the collections made. Until this is done the board cannot proceed with the contracts for any part of the program, or with the other steps necessary to make the event the success it should be. On motion the president appointed a committee to look after the securing of railroad rates and special trains on the various lines which reach this city. This committee includes Morton Stults, chairman, and F. H. Hubbard and H, R. Moltz. The 'managers have proceeded far enough to realize something about the big job they have on hands if they make the event a success and they feel that every citizen of Decatur should assist them. There is no graft in this projtosition, no one is trying to V

make a dollar. It Is simply an effort to give this city and those who for- ( merly lived in this community a great big week, and at the same time cele-' brate the opening of the first sugar factory in the state. The co-operation of every man, woman and child In this section is desired, and the board honestly feels they are entitled to it. We are seventy-six years old. Let's celebrate it in a clean, live, hustling way that will let the people know it for miles around. — ■— ■ o The buffalo moth, that bane of the housewive's existence, and also of her best wool dress or coat, has made its appearance in full round numbers. They apparently hatch forth in a single night and work their destruction so insidiously that one is "best dressless" in a few hours. Several cases over the city are reported where the housewife has gone to her closet to examine the winter clothes’ supply and found the woolen garments, many practically new, literally eaten full of holes and beyond repair, it seems that no matter how often the garments are hung out to air, and the rooms disinfected and thoroughly cleaned, the moths come forth in army numbers in the course of a few hours and work their destruction again. They also get into carpets and rugs, and the war against them must be relentless. One woman who has had a great fight with them, states that she mixed turpentine and gasoline and thoroughly saturated the floor and cracks in the walls, and also sprinkled the floors with borax, which proved very effective. Care must be taken, however, to keep a light away from the rooms where the gasoline is used until the volatile gasoline has totally disappears from the rooms. —o The sixth annual reunion of Johns will be held at Riverside park, Eaton. Thursday, August 15th. and every man who can claim the name of John is expected to attend. Only six years ago this organization was started by one man, John Wrench, then a clerk in an Eaton dry goods store. Noticing six or seven men come in, ail named John, he made the remark that there should be a national holiday in honor of the Johns of the country. The remark was carried from one • to the other and the result was a date I set to celebrate the name of John. A I first meeting was held at Riverside park and only«a few people were presI bnt. Officers were elected and each j did his best to advertise the meeting I for the coining year. The affair I.as ; grown until it now looked forward : to as one of the main events of the jyear Last year thousands of people attended the picnic. The officers, who are among Eaton’s ! most prominent business men, have ' left nothing undone for the picnic : this year. The best men have been I secured for the program and the mni sic will be a feature of the occasion. Valuable prizes will be given in the, different contests and to the different: specimens of Johns. The picnic Is not a political affair : neither a religious affair, yet the poll-' tician may expect to see some of his i friends and enemies there as they are i all invited. The most saintly perso-s j will not see or hear anything to mar their happiness, as the program is of the best moral character. The day is planned for all classes of people to have a royal picnic and to meet old ac- ■ quaintances and make new friends. While the program has not been fully completed, here are some of the amusements that will be on. \ balloon race by two Johns, and a horse ' shoe pitching contest by John '-I. . Studabaker of South Bend, who is an enthusiastic horse shoe player, and J. A. M. Adair of Portland. There . will be an old fiddlers' contest by a - number of Johns and also a fiddlers contest open to all. A John’s quartet which has a statewide reputation for good singing, wiil be among the musical attractions of the day. The officers are: John W Long, president; John Poorman, treasurer, and John Cooper Props, secretary. Any one desiring information can get same by writing the secretary. who lias charge of the program. - - —r, MERICA GIRL DISAPPEARED. From Home in Celina—Formerly Re sided Here. Celina, Ohio, July 26—F. H. Merica reported to Marshal William Pumphrey the disappearance of his fifteen-year-old daughter from their home on East Anthony street, asking his assistance in locating her. The girl’s failure to return home Tuesday evening caused her mother to search for her, when it was found that part o' her clothes were missing, but the authorities were not notified until Thurs day. Marshal Pumphrey has been unable to locate her here and it is believed by her parents that possibly she has gone to Lima, where she h is acquaintances. The authorities thenhave been notified to try to locate her. Prior to going to Celina Mr. Merica resided here a short while, coming here from Bluffton.
