Moeroe. ’nd.. Sept. s—(Special to Daily Democrat) —There was much excitement at Monroe this morning at 7:21 o'clock, when Mrs. William Graham of this city, mother of L. A. Graham of Decatur, was struck by the engine of southbound passenger train on the G. R. & I. railroad. In the fall Mrs. Graham struck her head on the sharp iron of the track and cut a big gash at the right side of her head, but beyond the shock and prostration. suffered no serious injury. A large crowd approximating 200 neople were assembled at the depot awaiting the arrival of the train tc carry them to the Portland fair, Thursday being the biggest day. Mrs. Graham was late, and seeing the train pulling in and fearing that she would miss it, redoubled her efforts to get her ticket in time to go with the others. The large crowd, surging backwards and forwards, hindered h»r progress and in the struggle, she was shoved onto the track directly in front oi the oncoming train which struck her on the shoulder. Fortunately those standing near had presence of mind left in the face of the impending tragedy to grab her away, and it was due to the efforts of Levi Johnson that she was pulled from under the engine before it passed over her body. But for the timely rescue both lower limbs would have undoubtedly been cut off. and the body badly mutilated, if i ndeed, the lady were not killed outright The accident happened on the west side of the road, about 200 feet from the depot. Mrs. Graham was hastily given medical attention and conveyed in an automobile to her home, and it will be some time before she recovers from the terrible shock. She is receiving the congratulations of her friends for her timely rescue.

NOW ASSISTANT. Arnold Stults, son of Wesley Stults, one of the proprietors of the Lee & Stults hardware, recently assumed a responsible position in the engineering office of the Pennsylvania company as assistant to the engineer iu charge. His duties are difficult and his many friends are glad to hear of his success. CLOVER LEAF “AT HOME.’’ The entire official family of the Clover Leaf road, with the exception of President-elect Walter L. Ross, who is detained at Chicago on account of Illness, together with about twenty members of the clerical force, is now housed in Toledo where the general offices are to be maintained. o TO GRAND RAPIDS. Mrs. Ed Wisehaupt and daughter, Mrs. George Cornell, of Fort Wayne, who visited here with tne John Wisehaupt family, went to Bluffton to visit with F. C. Harbaugh and wife until, this evening, when they will go to Huntington to visit a day. From there Mrs. Wisehaupt and daughter will leave for Grano Rapids, Mich., to which city the Wteehaupts are moving. Mr. Wlseha.upt has accepted a. good position there. Mr. and Mrs. Harbaugh are planning to move to that city also within a few weeks. —c- —— DIVORCED' COUPLE REMARRY. The Fort Wayne papers of Wednesday show the issuance of a marriage license to William H. Badders, thirtyfive, conductor, and Cora P. Badders, thirty-seven. Mrs. Badders secured a divorce only a few weeks ago. and it seems that a reconciliation has been

effected, resulting in their remarrl-’ age. The Badders formerly resided here, where he was engaged in the saloon business. 0 The complete success of the Old Home Week in Decatur was assured Thursday evening, when Herman Ya j ger returned from Indianapolis with) the contracts for the Mazeppa and • Great United Shows to come here for the week, which contracts were! Thursday night approved by the board of managers. The Mazeppa company is one of the three greatest carnival companies in the world, absolutely clean, with no gambling or immoral shows. They will bring here from ten to fifteen shows, Including Mazeppa, the greatest horse In the world, almost humcn, also a food circus, an animal show, and others, also a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round and all the others that please a holiday crowd. The committee has been trying for weeks to land this company and are pleased with the contracts. Balloon Races are Assured. The contracts with the Coleman Bros, of Morristown, Tenn., for a balloon race each day of the week, Monday to Saturday, inclusive, were Thursday night approved and have been returned. The contracts say that each day two balloons shall race, a lady making one ascension and a gentleman the other, and each shall make two parachute leaps from the one ascension. Patent holders will be used. doing away with the guy rope. It will be a wonderful free attraction. Special Meeting Monday.

There will be something do ing every day. Bachelor Maids’ Committee. A committee consisting of Misses Maytr.e Deininger and Rose Confer was named to represent the Bachelor Maids to send in names of maids who have left Decatur and who will be invited home. Urging General Clean-up. The city must be cleaned up. We must wash our face and get ready for the visitors. Within a few days a committee will be announced for that purpose, and they will be backed up by the city council and by others. Everybody should help in this matter. We are proud of the old town and we want all to see our streets shine and our homes and business houses look their best during the big week. Every loyal citizen should help do it. Acceptance letters have been received from E. D. Moffett of Hartle : City, a former editor of the Journal; from L. R. Blossom of Wauseon. O : Mrs. Malinda Fronefield, Ft. Wayne; O. D. Hall, Cardwell, Mo., and W. A. Kunkle, of Bluffton.

Other interesting letters, accepting the invitation were John M. Patterson of Logansport, who is proud of the fact that he once called Adams county "home,’' thought he has been away thirty-two years. He says if we can raise sugar beets as well as we used to raise squirrels, we will be going some. He tells of a time when his father killed twelve squirrels out one tree; letters also from Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Houser, Hammond, Ind.; Mrs. Della Fetter, Frankfort, Ind., and others. Sends Reply in Verses. Rochester, Ind., Sept. 3, 1912. Mr. French Quinn, Decatur, Ind.; Friend French: —Your invitation requesting our attendance at the Old Home Week in Decatur, week of October 14th, received. Would have answered sooner, but force of circumstances prevented me. In reply would say it is our intention, if nothing prevents, to be with you at least a part of the time. As I think of Decatur as she now is and what she was once, these few lines following present themselves to me, for she was my home for twenty-five years, and during that time I was very much interested in her welfare. She could have been better, had she always had the boosters she has now; We’re coming back to old Decatur And enjoy a week of cheer, To meet the boys and girlies As we said in former years; Although our hair is turning And age is creeping on We like the new Decatur That the Boosters boost along. We look back in the eighties And see the old town then; With rocky streets and muddy holes, With sidewalks now and then. The walks turned up in summer, In winter .they turned down, And in walking home of evenings. You were up and sometimes down.' But soon we got a council That had the right conceit, And placed a little lamp post At the crossing of some streets, And on this post they placed a lamp, Our weary steps to guide, To help us on our way at night As w* did homeward slide.

Now ■'Billy’’ and ‘‘Curt" were the lighten, For they kept the lights in trim; And with their ‘‘two-wheeled carriage" Each night they took them in. With gasoline they filled them, And then they were turned on. They fizzled and wiggled till morning. And that was the light, but dim. The lights and the lamp posts Have each one gone their way: But memory hinges on the past, When they were with us every day. The board sidewalks have disappeared. The mudholes, too, are gone. Good cement walks today are used. With paved streets up and down. Electric lights adorn the streets, Automobiles whizzing round A waterworks system now complete, And the "cops" in uniform. To say you are not growing. Steadily, surely and complete, You will only have to mention, How are the Sugar Beets’ To fully realize and know How things have- moved along. We’ll have to go and see the show, And join the welcome throng. Be there at good Old Home Week, And meet your friends of "Long Ago,” 'nd show to the busy Boosters We’ve come to help them blow. If we cant get in a wagon And help the "looters" blow, We can stand on the sidewalk calmly And enjoy the Home-week glow; But no matter, walking or riding, B’s a duty we all owe. To eo back to old Decatur, And see how she does grow. 1 see that Josiah Allen's wife, And her “pardner" will be there, Dressed up in her “Alapaka," With rats and flowers in her hair. Suppose she ll wear her new fall bonnet. And her slippers new and gay. I am sure her friends will greet her, In that good old-fashioned way. Decatnr “Can and Will,” I know Give all a pleasant time, If we can only be there, At least a part of the time; So here’s to the far-away people, Who think of coming bock. Make arrangements, all get ready. Let’s all go back—go back To Old Decatur Week of October 14, 1912. Yours respectfully, H. A. FRISTOE. - o FUNERAL OF MRS. MERRIS. Held This Afternoon from Church in Pleasant Mills.

The body of Mrs. Marguerite Morris, whose death occurred Wednesdayevening at Rochester, arrived Thursday afternoon over the Erie railroad and was taken to her home at Pleasant Mills, where they body lay in state until this afternoon when the funeral was held from the church with which she was identified. The body was accompanied here by Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Fristoe and daughter, Margaretta, and Mr. and Mrs. Al Morris, and a minister from that city. Burial took place in the Pleasant Mills cemetery .and the funeral services were very largely attended. AT POINT OF DEATH. At time of going to press Mrs. Peter Forbing, whose condition has been quite serious for several days, was at death's door and the end expected at any moment. Earlier in the afternoon she rallied from her low condition, but no hope is held out, whatever. oFort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 6—Little Marjorie Drage, the five-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Drage, 1031 Edgewater avenue, met death by suffocation shortly after the noon hour Thursday, when the tots head became lodged between the side of a mattress and a covering on its bed. The child was taking its daily nap when the sad happening occurred. The baby had been placed in bed at about 11:30 o'clock Thursday morning while apparently in the best oi health. It was when the mother went to awaken the child at about 1 o clock that the little one’s sad plight was learned. Life had been snuffed out some time before the mother’s arrival, but thinking the child only unconscious a doctor was called. All efforts to revive the tot failed and members of the family were aware of its death before the arrival of the doctor. It. is supposed that the intense heat of the noon hour made the baby restless and that once It had worked its head between the side of the mattress and the covering its weakened condition prevented it from pulling the head out where it could have secured fresh air. The father is district manager of the Decatur Motor Truck company

and has offices In South Calhoun street. Surviving besides the griefstricken parents is a sister, Virginia Drage. ■— ■ O' —- Some fifteen (more or less) wagon loads of real 'dyed-in-the-wool," gypsies included this city in their itinerary Friday passing through the city about ten o'clock, makin frequent halts, while the women of the tribe picturesque, but not any too clean, with their dusty hanging braids, and gaily colored dresses and head-chiefs mrue a tour of the business section of the city telling fortunes of those who would have curiosity enough to cross their (the gypsies, of course) palm with silver. Two of the wagons halted at the public square fountain, where the men refreshed the horses with cooling draughts from the old pump. From all the apertures of the covered wagon-tops were protruded little black-haired heads, In great number, and apparently all the same age, the young hopefuls of the "gentlemen" drivers. While the stop was ; made the progeny took occasion to stretch their tired limbs and see the sights of Decatur, and made bold enough to crawl out of the wagons and run around. When the watering was finished the dusky sires picked up the children who had overflowed from the wagon and dropped them into the rig's capacious depths and then drove on. in the cases where the children had crawled thickly upon I the seats there was not room enough I for the ample dimensions of one' dusk/ gent driver, he reached forth and grabbing the young ones by any I hold, convenient, as a dog would grasp its puppy, dropped it across the seat and into the depths of the wagon, with apparent east. One wagon drove to the side of the street at noon where the dinner was spread "picnic” fashion in the wagon and eaten with gusto. Every now and then the gypsymother grabbed up the end of her apron and wiped her perspiring face. Presently, desiring a beverage, she grabbed up a copper-lined kettle and upon cleanliness intent, grabbed the apron »ith which she had just wiped her face, and proceeded to give the kettle a wiping out. A little boy then took it to a saloon, but the saloonist was a law-abiding man, and the ekttle came away empty.

WILL TEACH HERE. W. F. Beery and Family Return for Winter. W. F. Beery and family, who have been spending the summer on their farm near Morris, Ind., in the south part of the state, have moved back to Pleasant Mills, for the. winter, Mr. Beery to teach school he: e again this winter. His brother, Ed Beery, and family, who have been farming with him, remained to take care of things this winter. —C. At a meeting of the G A. R. Thursday night held at their lodge room supreme topic of conversation and the main order of business were congratulations over the splendid results of securing the appropriation for a magnificent Soldiers Monument. Heartfelt resolutions of thanks were offered and passed thanking all those who made the appropriation possible. At the suggestion of a member, Mr. 3. B. Fordyce and French Quinn were appointed a committee to wait upon the County Commissioners Friday morning and request permission of them that a committee be appointed consisting of a representative from the G. A. R. and W. R. C. the Son of Veterans and the Spanish American War Veterans who will interest themselves in securing designers and architects to design out what would be handsome and appropriate so that the movement would go steadily on and tnat it can be made possible for the construction of the monument at the earliest possible date. This the commissioners gladly assented to with the understanding however, that no expense was to be incurred for such preliminary work and further that the designs would be carefully gone over by the committee and then submitted to the commissioners who of course reserve the right to use their best judgement in the ultimate selection of any design. The money appropriated will not be avoilable until May and November 1913. In this connection, it is being suggested that a popular subscription be raised with witch to purchase a suitable lot, deed it to the county and let them lease it to the city, to be made a public park. The new movement, a few flower beds, seats and walks and a fountain, would make it an at tractive spot an‘d the monument would show off much better than if backed up against the court house. The argument Is sound and deserves consideration. The Resolutions. Hall of Sam Henry Post G. A. R. Decatur Ind., Sept. sth, 1912 Resolved —that we, the comrads of Sam Henry Post, G. A. R., extend to the voters and taxpayers of Adams county, our thanks for their willingness and potriotism in signing the petitions, circulated by the veterans of

the civil war, praying the county commissioners to levy a sufficient tax upon the taxlble property of said county, to raise the sum of ten thousand dollars, for the purpose of erecting a soldiers monument, in honor, of the soldiers who fought for their country and its flag. Resolved, That we, especially tender our thanks to the county commissioners and county counsel, for their unamimous votes, in granting the prayer of the petitioners, and to the press of our city, for the splendid services rendered the solicitors, while the campaign for names was being circulated and to the Hon. A. P. Beaty, Judge J. T. Merryman and French Quinn, for the convincing ond patriotic argument before the county counsel, showing the justice and debt due the soldiers who served in our recent wars, for the preservation of the Union and the lifting of the yoke of oppression from the citizens of Cuba and our island possessions. On motion the above resolutions were unamimously adopted by the comrades of said post at their regular meeting on the above date. T. M. MALLONEE, Commander. T. R. MOORE, Adjutant. HELD JOINT SESSION TODAY. The county commissioners this morning drove to the Allen county line, where they held a joint session with the board of Allen county, looking after the Weber county line road and the county line bridge. James Hendricks of this county was made president of the combined board and W. J. Wyss of Allen county, secretarv. The Weber road was found to be acceptable, but the approaches to the new bridge were not complete and the o. k. stamp could not be used therefore. The i oi'tity commissioners met this morning and appointed the following well known men to serve as inspectors at the general election to be held November sth • East I'nic William K-nickenberg.

For increasing the strength of mind or body, this is the method that has proved itself to be remarkable. The Baptist ladies were out in goodly numbers Thursday at the regular meeting held at the home of Mrs. Simon Brandyberry, the collection amounting to $6.50. A general social good time prevailed and the refreshments of ice cream and cake were cooling and delicious. Mrs. David Stoler will entertain in two weeks. As the Rev. Jones will be in Muncie at that time attending the Baptist association meeting the missionary study will be held at the meeting following. A splendid time was in store for the Needlecraft club Thursday evening when Miss Agnes Gillig entertained. The girls at this time took occasion to give a friendship shower for one of their number, Miss Mamie Kitson, who will be an October bride, and the gifts she received were expressive of the good wishes that will accompany her to her new home at Peru. A “Yes” and “No” contest created a lively and spirited mingling and piano music was rendered by Miss Etta Mallonee. Refreshments were cooling and delicious. Miss Kitsons mother, Mrs. Daniel Kitson, was an honored guest. In two weeks the club will be entertained by Fanchon Magley. Mrs. James Watts of Monmouth

had as her guests today, Mrs. Reaser to do what you want to do. For dren, Ruth and Harry, of Ft. Wayne; and Mrs. Dick Hill and daughter, Mabel, of this city. Miss Bess Jeffrey, who is taking a two weeks’ vacation from duties as nurse at the Lutheran hospital. Fort Wayne, and Miss Flora Fledderjohann were entertained Thursday at the home of Lewis Holland, east of the city. Misses Marie Hackman and Vera Hower spent the day at the Meyers farm south of the city, where threshing was the order of the day. HAT SERVED AS SHIELD There are many side-issues at a theatre to divert the mind of the spectator. Quite recently a young lady and her "young gentleman friend," were seated in a moving picture air dome in this city. The young lady held her escort's hat, which rested in a quiet, unobtrusive way on her arm nearest her attendant. By some inadvertent movement, however, the bat became displaced and there was revealed to the gaze of the public, the ancient, but ever-new spectacle of a loving-couple holding hands, the hat serving as a good shield from the public. —o About 10 o'clock eleven wagon loads of gyizsies struck the town, coming in from the southeast over Mercer avenue and immediately debarking on the up-town streets, began telling fortunes an dotherwise accosting the public. Within a few minutes they accosted Jeremiah Archbold, and by some dexterous by play managed to gather in some coin. Mr. Archbold managed to secure his money back but upon complaint to the marshal the bunch was run in and about 12:30 the thirteen women and one man were hauled up in the mayor s court room in the city building and an effort was made to find the parties guilty of the offense, but it was well nigh impossible in view of the fact that so many were operating at one time. The excessive heat in the court room and the obvious uncleanliness of the prisoners made considerable stench and the mayor upon his arrival was not long in giving a timelimit in which to get out of town. They headed north intending to make Fort Wayne. Fully two hundred citizens watched them from time of arrival until departure, with interest. o— ——• HAVE RETURN DATE. The Marion Trolley League team, which on last Sunday administered a defeat to the local Shamrocks, have billed another date for this coming Sunday, when a fast game is scheduled. Those who witnessed last S day’s game say it was one of the :■ est contests ever pulled off on the local diamond and the return of tin same team should bring out one o: the largest crowds' ever witnessing : game h' <>. ' strong line-up will b ■ provided by the local team and thconstant practice which they are t ting in will make the visitors go some if they want to claim the second victory.

ELKS MEET TONIGHT. A call for all Elks to meet this evening at their lodge quarters :.t prompt 8 o'clock is extended and all members are earnestly requested .o respond and assist in the work outlined for the evening. Albert Colchin lias returned from Coldwater, Ohio, where he attended the funeral of his cousin, Frank Kuhn, mention of whose death was made in this paper Monday. The death of Mr. Kuhn was most unexpected and tragic in the extreme. He had been employed in Urbana, but Saturday evening left lor Dayton, 0., to visit with his sister, Mrs. Clint Kimzig, over Sunday. He had arrived in Dayton and had gone to pay his dues as a member of the order of the Knights of St. John. He had finished this and had then taken a car for his sister's home. Just as he was alighting from the car in a prominent part of the city at 7:30 o’clock, he was struck by an automobile that speeded past at the rate of forty miles an hour. His body was thrown seventyfive feet. His neck and jaw were broken and he Itved but twelve minutes after the accident. He was a stranger to those who ministered to him, but papers found on him by the coroner aided in his identity, and his sister living there was notified about 10 o'clock of the terrible fate that befell him. His father, John Kuhn, of Coldwater, did not get the word until Sunday, and the family and friends were indeed sorrow-stricken. Four other passengers were on the ear and had the lady descending behind Mr. Colchin been a second earlier, she would undoubtedly have met rhe same fate. The unfortunate man was hern in this city and was about thir-ty-five years old. Mrs. Julia Colchin

of this city also attended tha fustral. ATTENTION, SOLDIERS!
