The principal matters discussed were means and methods of entertainment by each of the organizations and numerous suggestions were made.

A meeting of the Great Northern Indiana FY»ir association officials wes ■ held today relative to the rebuilding of the art hall which was destroyed by fire last Wednesday morning. Nothing definite was decided upon at time of goin gto press, as matters were pending the closing of an agreement with Willard Steele, proprietor of Steele’s park, where the fair buildings are located. _<>_ - Engine No. 34, in charge of Engineer Yarman, running extra on the gravel train, which is hauling ballast i for the switches being put in to the sugar factory, was derailed and turned completely on its side at a frog near the Ward Fence Factory at 1 1: ->•> o'clock this morning. The engine had just brought in a train load of ballast and was running slowly south to get out of the switch when at the frog of the switch the track suddenly gave away and threw off the front trucks of the engine. The soft ground of the fill gave away under the heavy weight and the engine sank deeper and deeper into the ground until at 12:10 it slowly turned over on Ks side. The firemen had | let all of the water out of the tank and this, with the already soft condi-, Hon of the ground allowed the engine to almost bury itself. The wrecking crew was called from Port Wayne, and the work of clearing up the wreck was begun. Small dam age was done to the engine, the <>'" having ample time to drown the fires so that an explosion might be averted. A crowd of onlookers quickly gath-i «red and watched the work of the wrecking crew. No injuries were experienced by any of the crew, except the fireman, who had a leg sprained in jumping from the cap. The engi-

neer was forced to crawl throurh a : window to escape. t — j Fifteen ;eurt ago, Ed Kinney, son r of PH Kinney, of Jefferson township,' I living eight miles east of Geneva, left l 1 home. Nothing more was heard from I the young man, until this week when ' I word was received by the parents 1 that he was dead and that his body I was being sent home for burial. The 1 body arrived in due time and the fu- • neral was held this morning from • the Catholic church. The man was ’ at death about forty years of age, and s he is well remembered by his asso- t dates and friends, in the north, as < well as the south part of the county. I He has relatives In this part of the] county, and among those who attend-' 1 ed the funeral today were his cousins.! 1 Mr. and .Mrs. P. K. Kinney and daugh- 1 ter. and Mr. and Mrs Martin Laugh- < lin. | j ———— ——-o- I » "Dec atur Can and Will" is the slo-’ * gan adopted by the Home Coming * < ommittee in session Friday evening ' and in continued meeting from Thurs-1 day when the large number submitted 1 would not grant the committee suf- * flcient discussion for the selection of 11 the most appropriate one sent in. It I 1 is without doubt the best that could 1 have been selected by the committee 11 and not until the three hundred Bev- * enteen other suggestions had been I 1 carefully gone over was the decision ■ ! readied. Two otheis adopted and H who v.ill come in for second and third ■ prize? offered were “Decatur Knows 1 ‘ How," and third "Decatur Defies De- ' 1 ' at." For each of the three slogans :i there were two authors who submitted the same and owing to this , 1 fact the awarding of the prises of $5, 1 and 2 offered by loth the Old Ad-1 ams county and First National banks ! will not be made until the next reg-] 1 ula: meeting on Thursday evening ! August 29th. The problem was one ’ laser, interest in by people through-' cut the entire county nnd from the j many excellent slogans submitted the task of deciding was not an every dav job. By this saying Decatur be known and the meaning it bears is one that no other city or state could I■■ v.- selected a better one. Look lor it across the top of this evening's Democrat. Oh. I l'k=- *" ’■car a fellow v'.io will whistle at his work; I like to hear a worker who will ( hum a little tune. Es a feller's got some music, why, lie ain’t so apt to shirk: He kin change a bleek December into mild and merry June. —Joe Cone.

Gllpen. whose ' Home-com-!ng" to Indiana was productive of good for him > I was born in old Ohio where Its Hills arc- rlgn and* steep, Where the principal industries are Laurel, fruit and sheep. I had roamed the hills and valleys From the time that I could walk, And had longed to be a poet From the time that I could talk. And often had I slumber broke And rose at eariy dawn. To partake of tiaiure's diet. Which the poets feed upon. I loved the hills and valleys, And of their beauty longed to sing Their surroundings were delightful. But 1 couldn't write a thing. AM. i . ♦ < • • • • • ■ *** Then I commenced to study And I got a notion queer, These literary microbes Lurk within the atmosphere. So I came to Indiana. And as soon as I did land. I got a pen and tablet And could write to beat the band » . »■»., -j. - . The atmosphere was perfect, I was busy all the time, And everything I thought about, At once could put in rhyme. Then I read in Harper's Weekly, Over in tne Badger State. No poet there existed And I sought to emigrate. So I settled in Milwaukee, I thought no more to roam. My baggage came in transit. Mut the Muse had stayed at home. The microbe tnen forsook me, \nd to fill my bitter cup, , Pulsation started downward, And the fever started up. So I hiked for Indiana > And when I hove in sight i My pulse again was normal, And my pen beean to write. I ELINA FAIR GOOD. Man, Exhibits will Come to Adams i County Fair. I 5 Charles E. Magley, secretary of the ( Great Northern Indiana Fair associa- 1 I tion. has returned from Celina, Ohio, > where he attended the fair. He is i, well pleased with the fair there "and t especially the stock'and horses, which are also coming to this county's ittaiT. s There races horses at Celina are in t an especially good class, and these i coming here, will insure us a fair - far beyond the average. Among the > Celina racers are those which had 1 such an unusually good run here last I year, being unable to finish on ac- . count of a tie They assured Mr. Mag--1 ley that they would return here this s fall. i o —— Willvm J. Spear of Toledo. Ohio, r who was awarded the contract for the , concrete and brick work in the con- , struction of the beet sugar factory, , dropped dead unexpectedly Saturday , morning on the streets of Toledo, from an attack of heart trouble. Mr. Spear's death was very unexpected and his demise romes as a great shock f to his relatives and friends in that ; city where he made his home as well • as here. Mr. S;>ear came here early s last spring to superintend the begini ning of the work for which he had the - contract, and has made frequent trips >ince to confer with his foreman and > those in charge of the work. During t his visit here he made many friends, t who are extremely sorry to hear of - his death. He was about fifty-five or s sixty years of age, and was married, I his wife surviving. i Mr. Spear was one of the best-liked • men on the beet sugar grounds, and was always to be found in most pleasi ant spirits, and enjoyed the friendship of many of Decatur's people. Dick i Schafer, bookkeeper for Mr. Spear. 1 will look after business as he has been ,1 doing, and as to whether or not other ■ steps will have to be taken for the | completion of the work is unknown at present. i Contractor Spear's last visit to this I city was made just a week ago, and little did the people here think that 1 the jovial, good-natured fellow they all liked so well was so near his last . jouraey's end. I —c — I Leo Ehinger, son of -Mr, and Mis. I E. X. Ehinger of this city, had an exciting experience Friday evening, of which the Bluffton Banner says: ! "A Decatur young man who comes to Bluffton frequently to visit a lady

friend, had the fright of his life last night when he jumped from the Wabash Valley car due here at 8:50 o'clock while It was traveling at a •I>eed of about thirty miles an hour near the Toll Gate school house. The jump followed a break in the trolley pole, the noise from which caused the young man to think the car had collided head-on with another car. Hi»' injuries, though not serious, were very painful, and he does not care to repeat the trick. "The young man was riding on the rear platform of the car, when the trolley pole broke and not stopping an Instant to determine the cause of the racket he leaped from the platform into a deep ditch, partly filled with water. The conductor witnessed the jump and he immediately re- ! turned to the scene and helped the, stranger to his feet. He refused to ; have the services of a physician, and ’ would not give his name, saying that , he did not want I.ls parents to know ■ of the accident. "When the young man jumped from ■ the car it was traveling at a speed ' of thirty miles nn hour and his e-: cape from serious injuries was prob- j ably due to his alighting in the ditch , Much of the skin was taken from hisj face and arms- in the fall and Ins ] clothing was badfy torn. He told pas- I sengers on the car that he had become badly frightened when the trolley pole broke and on the instant thought of the head-on collision with another car. “It was learned late this aftepioon that the boy was Leo Ehinger, a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. X. Ehinger, of Decatur. who is here for a visit with his brother-in-law. Will Berling. Ehinger lost his watch and a gold ring in his fall." oNOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. — Al" per.ons who go upon the streets of the city of Decatur in automobiles, wagons, buggies, bicycles, motorcycles or veh'cles of any kind, are hereby to ct all times keep to the right and not to run at a greater rate of speed than eight miles an hour on First, Second, Third, Fourth, Monroe, Madison, Russell, Adams and Mercer st -e's. and at no greater' rate of speed than 12 mlies an hour on all other streets of said city. And they are required to slow up and make square turns at all street crossings, where they may want to turn off of or ] onto another street. All persons i must keep off of the s.dewalk with bicycles or vehicles of any kind. JUDSON W. TEEPLE, Mayor. o— The public schools of Decatur will open Monday, September 2nd. A j short session will be held at 8:30, at , which time assignments will be made j for regular work. Children who have not yet attended school, but who will be six years old by January Ist, will be admitted to the primary grades at the different buildings. In aecoi’flance with the laws of the state, tuition in the high school will be $4.00 per month, for the pupils in the tiftli. sixth, seventl and eightn grades, $2.00 per montk, a'nd lor the first, second, third and fourth grades, $1.50 per month. Supplies for all grades may be obtained at the drug stores. Owing to a large number of families moving to the city during th.summer it may be necessary <o change the boundary lines for the various schools; but these boundaries will remain the same for the beginning of school and if any- change is necessary- the board will then establish new boundary lines. The superintendent will be at h:s office Saturday, August 31, for the purpose of assigning pupils, who live outside of Decatur, to their respectivgrades. E. E. RU E, Supt. of Schools. Inquiries have been received from pupils who live outside of Decatur lor places to stay during the school year. Persons who would like to have pupils stay with them during the year may be accommodated if they will report the matter to E. E. Rice, superintendent of schools. Some of these pupils wish to work for their room and board; others wish to pay. i Prediction of anunprecedentedcoal famine is made by fuel dealers as one of the results of the strike in the anthracite mines early in the summer. It is predicted that the available supply of hard coal wfil be gone before the winter is half gone and that the dealers will have no way in which to obtain more. Persons who will burn hard coal this winter are advised to buy as much as possible during the summer months or buy a soft coal stove. The price of hard coal has not been reduced this summer as is usually the case and it is expected that after a short interval of cold weather that the price will be raised from $8.25 to $8.50. The strike in the Pennsylvania I field in March, April and May has placed the supply at the mines at least three months behind the orders. There is no way in which the dealers can meet the situation once their su)s

ply of coal on hand la exhausted. They will be at the mercy of the producers and the railroads with their congested traffc and shortage of cars. At the present time the bulk of the coal from the Pennsylvania fields is being shipped into the eastern states and into the northwest by means of the great lakes. The freight tolls are ' lower that way and there Is a ready market for almost the entire output. It has been asserted by trade journals that the supply of coal is about one-fourth norma). The Rev. £. A. Goodwin, xho has been pastor of the United Brethren • ■hurch the past year, left Monday for Frankfort, where he goes to make arrangements for securing / rooms for the coming year, as he ex- ■ j.ect to make that city his home duri Ing that time. The rather bad coni dition of his health l>as caused his decision to retire from active minisI terial work for the coming year, as i he has suffered two paralytic strokes lin the past several years and he thinks it best for him to take a rest, jto regain his strength. Rev. Goodwin ' will preach his last sermon as local ; pastor next Sunday, and will leaic j the following week for the annual : conference to be held at Roanoke. I During the time he has been here Rev Goodwin has accomplished much for the advancement of the churches on his circuit, all the members of which as well as his many other friends in the city, wish that he might be retained for many years, but wish him a speedy upbuilding of his health. Rev. Goodwin Sunday afternoon conducted baptismal services by immersion in the Steele's park lagoon, when five candidates were immersed. They were Mrs. Ross Hayes and | daughter, Marie; Howard Wisehaupr, I Miss Josephine Pennington and a /young girl. Four additions to the church Sunday were also recorded on the clerk's roll and all the services were inspiring. The annual session of the Adams county teachers' institute, under the immediate direction es Lawrence E. Opliger, county superintendent of schools, convened Monday at nine o’clock in the initial session of the wc-ek’s work. With the following instructors present, Dr. A. J. Kinnaman, department of education, state normal school, ’ i Bowling Green. Ky.; Prof. O. H. Venner, department of English, Grand Island, Neb.,; and Prof. B. F. Swarthout. voice builder, Indianapolis, Ind., the i week s work gives great promise of becoming one of the most valuable ■ and interesting institutes ever held in this county. The teachers began arriving as ear ' ly as 8:30 and seenr-edto evince lively ' interest in the program as published 1 By the time of the opening of the it 1 stitute the church was comfortably ; filled and late stragglers found con ‘ ; siderabie trouble in securing seats The first morning's session was open ! j ed with devotional exercises led by-- • : Rev. Rilling, who, being unable to at ' i tend the institute on Tuesday, ax- ‘ changed with Rev. Owen, who was to ■ have been present today. I Professor Swarthout led the ins l ■ - tute in singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy,’ after which the Rev. Rilling read the ' morning lesson, fallowed by prayer. ‘ The first address of the opening ses- ’ sicn was given by Hr. Kinnaman. wi ■■ ' used the subject. "Some Schools." He 5 brought out the fact that Kentucky was formerly very lax in schools l'n- ’ til four years ago, Dr. Kinnatfian's ’ home town. Bowling, Green, did nc‘ have a lour-year high school course. ’ He- drew mind pictures of educational ‘ conditions, going into detail. Taking ‘ up the negro problems, he brought ‘ out that a double school system was ■ necessary double institutes —double schools, etc. In illustration of the problems o. 1 school management he brought forr ward descriptive illustrations o' • schools he had visited, examined the-? ’ deficiencies, suggested remedies to r the teachers. A diagnosis of the sys- ‘ terns of teaching followed by various ' teachers was gone into, humorouaiy, 1 but earnest, nevertheless. The de--1 scription of some Indiana schools proved interesting in the extreme. i the deep earnestness of the speaker 1 I throwing high lights on the valuable ' 1 deductions which, if incorporated, ■ would mean much to the school's wel- • I fare. Following the address of Dr. Kinna- ' man there was to be a rest period of ' five minutes but owing to the lateness ' of the commencing of the day's work the period was discarded and the first music period was entered into. Prof. 1 Swartout, the instructor of music I proved to be a man worthy of ernula- ; tion, of a strong personality and pleas- [ ing address he soon interested the institute in the music in hand and in a short time all were interestingly following the able instruction given . them. I After a short intermission the institute again convened to hear Professor Venner, in his able address on the “Value of Biography in developing a boy’s character.” The Professor proved an able talker and presented his ®

subject in an able manner, lnt»r<stlng as well as instructing the many teamera. Note taking was prominent and probably the years work will be greatly benelitted tberr-t y. Noon adjournment cam» right on time and in the afternoon the .r.stitute again convened to hear "The S< 1.00 l as an Institution” by Dr. Kinnaman who again pleased the institute with bis aide work Music and another address by Prof. Venner on the subje l "Teaching boys to appreciate good books,” covered the days work and the institute adjourned the first session feeling greatly benefitted thereby. The able instructors provided and the deep interest shown ly the teachers a ll no doubt make this years work the most valuable of any yet held In this city.
