Interrogatories filed by the defendant.

A young girl with all the purity of youth, good health and ambition, leaves her little home in the country town to go to New York, alone; through deception she makes her father think in after years when idle has drifted to the gates of the underworld with a man she loves that she has entered society, and upon this deception she ruins her father for the man she loves. This play is not a melodrama, it is not a travesty on nature, it is not a burlesque of drama, but it is a story, a theme that is natural, that happened in true life; it is a play with all the ease and grace that a theme with a touch of nature has. This play has toured the principal big cities of this country, and has been proclaimed by press and public as an unquestionable success. Nixon Greeiy Smith, of the New York World, speaking of this theme said, teach it to all that they might know the danger which lives in the underworld. /'The Girl of the Underworld” is the'most < omr-lete story dealing with this theme which has been written. There are no deep-eyed villains, no pisiol shots, no yelling for help, no murder, no suicide, but it is entertainingly played with comedy situations, surprises, and above all a lesson. As Geo M. Cohan says: It's a play wit i a punch, which means it’s a success itr every respect. Every mother, father, brother, and sister owes u to themselves to see this play, The Girl of the Underworld.” Bosse opera house, Friday, December 6th.

“Bloomington or bust." is the slogan of the Decatur high school basket ball team for this season and take it from ' us, a tip that don't cost you a cent, they're not going to "bust." The team ' that takes the championship away | from the local lads will step along some, rtie Warren club which came here Friday night was heralded as one of the fast ones of the state. They have been together several years and won enough fame the last year or two that they had their pictures in the national guide. They are a bunch of big fellows, they worked out like veterans, and before the gong sounded it looked like they would eat the locals up tn about two small bites, but nay, our boys made them look like amateurs. Only three or four times in the entire forty minute® of play did they manage to get the ball and two of the six scores were made on fouls. Referee Worthman gave the visitors all the best of it, which was right, for they never had a chance. The Decatur team is fast, makes many brilliant plays, and as we stated before, the basket ball club which takes any games away from them will look like a winner for the state championship. The locals have games with a number of the big city teams, including Anderson, Muncie and Marion, but "who's afraid?" The game Friday night was the fourth of the season's schedule and was won by a score of 64 to 6. A minute after the whistle sounded Center Vancil tossed the first basket aml from then on it was rip, rush and run —a regular romp for the locals. At the close of the first half the score was 28 to 1, and the second was Just a seasy, 36 to 5. Bob Peterson alone made fourteen baskets and the playing of every member of the team was fast and almost sensational. The were Gore and Smith; officials, Worthman and McCrum. The ' locals go to Pennville next Friday evlening, while the second team will play I Liberty Center's second team here. The line-up Friday night was: i Decatur Warren Tyndall-Franks ....F Gill J Falk F Schultz VancilC Wright | i’eterson GHoffman I Lose G McKinney Field Goals—Falk, 5; Tyndall, 1; Vancil, 6; Lose, 1; Peterson, 14; Franks, 5; Gill, 2. Mrs. Rebekah Moser, aged seventyi four, mother of Elmer Moser, of this city, is at the point of death at her 1 home a mile east of Willshire, Ohio. I She has been ill for a long time with j lung trouble 4 Her son, Elmer and his J son, Ralph, spent Friday at her bedside.

j Mrs. David Archer of Pleasant Mills 1 returned to Fort Wayne this morning “to consult her physician, who operated upon her Friday. Mrs. Archer has suffered for a long time from an affection of the lower jaw-bone. A portion I of the bone it is said, is dead, and this I was split and scraped. It was necesI sary for her to go back today and have it dressed. Fred Thieme, twelve-year-old son of ; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thieme, in Union j township, is recovering from a very ' severe operation of a week ago and is now able to take nourishment for the i first. He was attacked suddenly with 'appendicitis on the way home from 'school and an Immediate operation was necessary. ' Miss Mabel Ashbaucher, who has been seriously 111 for several months, was able to sit up Thursday for the first time in five weeks. She is slowly improving.—Bluffton News. Miss Ashbaucher is a sister of Mrs. Herb Burroughs and Ed and Fred Ashbaucher of this city. Samuel Deßolt, who was dangerously hurt a week ago Wednesday when he was crushed between a corn shredder and engine, is somewhat better, and there are hopes for his recovery unless complications set in. CORKWELL RELEASED. Word from Richmond is to the effect that Benjamin Corkwell, the motorman on the south bound car in the terrible wreck near Kingsland, Sept. 21.1910. has been released from the Easthaven Asylum for the Insane at Richmond, temporarily at least. He | was given his freedom onee before but it became necessary to place him back in the aslyum. Relatives fear, and It so stated by authroltles at the asylum, that he will never recover his metal balance. The terrible shock of the wreck bos also seriously impaired his physical health. His mania is not dangerous.—Bluffton News, PROBABLY PLAYED INDIAN. Boys, Firearms and the “Enemy” Make Exciting Combination. An unsigned contribution to this paper tells of sornp wild and woolly west adventures west of the city on Thanksgiving day. The articles says: I “Thursday afternoon four youths, in

ages from fourteen to seventeen years, jrtmwauucwtrd wMitjin jtlto hunt for rabbits, but they failed to get even the sight of one so they started for home, coming from the west over the Erie tracks. When near the Heuer woods they saw a fire in the woods, and gathered about were a number of boys. In a Joking way they called the boys to put out the fire and get j out, whereu|>on the boys about tho fire began shooting. The boys on the track inoceased their speed, and quickly got Out of the range of the wild west boys." In closing the writer says: "Why should such boys be allowed to carry firearms?” Will some dear read er kindly answer? — 1 1 ■ o — The Parent Brothers, who have been conducting a small electric store iu one of the Studahaker buildings on South Second street, will soon branch into business on a larger scale. They have leased the brick building just south of the Moser studio and nowoccupied by Moser's china store, and will occupy it after February Ist, with a complete stock of electrical supplies, including all "kinds of fixtures, etc The boys have been enjoying a splen did business and believe they see their W a permanent increase which justifies this improvement. Mr. Moser will at once conduct a sale of his big stock of China ware and will dispose of everything in stock, in time that he can arrange tho rocm for the new occupants on the date mentioned. De catur has been in need of an electric store for some time and the Parent Brothers should succeed in this business venture. They are good workmen and their industriousness deserves success.

He had been ill only two or three weeks with typhoid fever —in fact only two weeks ago today, he had been seen on the streets of this town. He was about thirty-seven years of age, and unmarried. He was born in this township and resided here all his life. He was a very bright boy and after educating himself for the profession of teaching, toop up that vocation about nineteen years ago. He continued for some time and then relinquished it, resuming a few years ago again. Mrs. Milo McCollum of this place and Mrs. Weaver of near Geneva are sisters of the deceased.

Later —The funeral will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock from the North Point church. Burial at Bunker Hill cemetery. ‘ Many are of the opinion that it is unlawful to sell rabbits and those who have been entertaining this idea may allay their fears at once. It does not matter whether the rabbits be sold at a grocery or from a peddlers wagon. It’s immaterial whether they were shot by the man who sells them or whether he himself bought them from a hunter. But rabbits are the only game which may be sold.

The housewife who tries to buy a rabbit at a grocery is sometimes told that to sell rabbits or any game is an infrart’«n of the law. The hunter, as he carries a half dozen dead bunnies on his back, gives the same reply. But i they are wrong. Some of them would be exceedingly glad to have a market for their game and are robbing themselves of some profit by this misunderstanding of the game law. Squirrels and all game birds such as quail and wild ducks, differ from rabbits in this respect. It is unlawful to sell, buy, offer them for sale, or expose them for sale whether they be killed within the state or elsewhere. SUFFRAGETTES WILL FIGHT. London, Nov. 30—A policeman stood guard over every letter box in London today, on the alert for fresh suffragette attempts to destroy more mail by pouring acid into the boxes. The suffragettes gave warning that they will renew their campaign the moment the police, who are seriously handicapped in their regular duties by the necessity for watching the mail boxes cease to do so. ——o George Tester, a well known young man of the city, has purchased a halfinterest of the Wear-U-Well shoe store and shining parlors, and with his brother-in-law, Howard Burdg, who owns the other half interest, will conduct this establishment.

John Johnson, the Greek, who has been associated with Mr. Burdg, and has now sold his interest in this store, will leave next Wednesday for his tative country, Athens, Greece, where he will join the army in the fight against the Turks. A postal received this morning from his cousin, John Vakrinos, formerly of this city, who left in October for Greece, announces his safe arrival there October 31st. Five days after landing, or on November 4th, he entered the army, and is now in the thick of the fight. The postal showed a picture of his brother ,the brother's

wife and family, a very handsome group, with all the native beauty and health of the Greeks, the land of perfect symmetry. RAWLINGS GETS PORTLAND JOS. Congressman Adair before leaving for Washington on Friday announced that he would recommend O. A. Rawlings to be the |x>stmaster at Portland, to succeed Albert J.

FUNERAL OF MRS. STREBE. A mistake occurred in the announcement of the funeral of Mrs. James Middleton Strebe. It will be held Sunday morning. The procession will leave the house at ten o’clock for the M. E. church at Rivarre, where the services will be held at 10:30 o'clock. Burial will take place in the Salem cemetery. o Washington, Nov. 30.(Special to Daily Democrat.)—When Chairman Me Combs, the other day said “every other Democrat” was looking for a job, he was not speaking with nan the emphasis with which harrassed Democratis congressmen here today discussed the matter. There will be about 412,000 jobs in the goverment service when Democ racy comes into power on March 4. More than 6,000,000 people helped send a Democrat to the presidency. Congressmen today agreed that about half of these were clamoring for places on the goverment pay roll. Because the President-elect will presumably be influenced by suggestions from senators and representatives in the choice of appointees the demand of the three million is deluging the congressmen. About 100,000 of the 412,000 jobs are not covered by civil service rules, and will automatically be vacant March 4. Os these 10,389 are presidential appointments. It has been figured out that the annual salaries represented by the jobs that will change hands reaches $30,000,000. This is exclusive of the first and second* class postmasterships which alone total $26,000,000. Because there are apparently half a dozen applications for every job, the Democrats in the House are seriously considering the passage of an act rescinding President Taft’s recent executive order, placing under civil service rules 36,000 fourth class postmasters. Most of the 36,020 are now republicans. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kirsch and cl:I'dren and the Misses Effie Miller and Huldah Mutschler took advantage of the fine weather Sunday and motorr l to Monroe, being guests of the Jacob Dolch family, south of that tow.:, where they were royally entertained.
