Falk, on North IB Second street, when Miss Alice CathIBorine Dailey of this city, was wedded IB to Mr. Fred P. Reynolds of Fort 1 1 Wayne. Rev. Glelser of the PresbyterI ■ lan church pronounced the ceremony,

i‘" ,hH pregen < , « on only a f ew of I relatives and nearest friends of h' couple, Preaent beside, the Falk family W e re Mr. and Mrs. Ed Moses and daughter, Gertrude; Miss Helen Knouse of Warsaw, Dr. Cowan of Diz(on, Ohio, and Miss Lulu Atz I The ceremony was a very beautiful' one, Rev. Gleiser using the double ► ring service from the Presbyterian I book of common worship. Little Miss Mary Falk was ring-bearer and carried the rings nestling in the heart of a rose. The bride, who Is a brunette, was ' becomingly gowned In a dress of garnet velvet, prettily made, with which sOe wore a collar of rich cream lace. A wedding supper was served lmme-1 | diately after the ceremony. The' i bridal table was unusually pretty. The i centerpiece was a bowl of swansonia,! and around which, forming a delicate I I tracery of green on the white cloth,' i was arranged srnilax. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds left last night for Fort Wayne, where their home on South Wayne street, nicely furnished, awaited. Miss Dailey is one of Decatur’s well known young ladles. She is a daughter of Davis Dailey and for several years has made her home in this city with her sister, Mrs. J. S. Falk. The groom is a son of John B. Reynolds, a resident of Ohio, but has' been employed as train dispatcher in bort Wayne for the Pennsylvania railroad. | "The best lecture I have ever heard" is what many conservative and sincere people said Thursday evening,' after hearing Sylvester Long, the noted lectuier of Dayton. Ohio, whose lecture, "Lightning and Toothpicks,"] was the second number of the high | school seniors' lecture course. Mr. Long is endowed with a rich, yowerf’il voice, an excellent expressing medium, and what is better, he had something behind it to express. Every word was a rich germ thought, aptly expressed and productive of more. The points were illustrated j with practical and often funny illci-, lents, but nona JitCmlscuously throw n | in each with ’ a distinct purpose. ' Hl * lec f dre j M ] t a jth t b e problems 3f _ Itf'j. Just as the shattering of a r .l into toothpicks by a stroke of lightning, is not for the purpose of i producing medicated toothpicks—which many superstitious believed

would cure toothache once used —but the result of a natural law which ■ those conditions caused to act. so is life the result of natural laws. Conditions are not the cause, but the result of law. He stated that life is explained by three words: Law, love and habit. 1 Each life is perfect according as it is lived in harmony with the natural laws, which are unchanging. This universal reign of law, Is made endurable by love—the stern, real, un- ; failing love of God—and appropriated by man through habit. The audience found Interest in listening to every word, and there was not a dull moment. Should Mr. Long return, he would surely be welcomed by all. The third number of the lecture 1 course will be given January 16th. by the Euclid made quartet and bell ringers. The installation of a new Model 10 stamp tamping machine and a ha.fyard mixer have just been completed at the Acker Cement Works in the north part of the city and will readily i place this plant in the front rank of I Decatur's cement product institutions. During last season Mr. Acker saw the necessity of increasing the output of the plant and decided to pur--1 chase an automatic tamping machine. : The increased efficiency of this plan ' needed a mixer to keep the material supplied and the buying of the two resulted. Mr. Chris Breiholtz, a member of the firm manufacturing the machines, was here this week installing I the tamper. 1 Ten stamps weighing nearly a hnuj fired pounds each tamp the block, a heavy steel plate is held in position to finish the block and an automatic I core attachment is also furnished. I Merely shoveling in the concrete Is necessary In operating the machine. I The capacity is bought to be over six hundred blocks per day and will increase the output of the plant at least half. —o bridge finished. Thursday at 4 o’clock the last load, of stone necessary for its complete, macadamizing was placed in position , and leveled and now the bridge >s finished so far as the roadway is ■ com cerned. However, then, is yet to b I ■constructed two sidewalks five feet. X one on either side of the bridge, j . this work will not be undertaken and this soon ag the weathe r| next spring the eonstruction' of the sidewalks will be, begun and bridge finished in every detail. —>■ '• ing of the winter and early ,spri g. | eles , Ca„ Dee, 1- | The Dai’y Democrat,

f, Dear Friends:—Just about thirty f days ago, November sth, after casting t my ballot for our future president, we • left this place. Wo stood the trip well 1 j but were somewhat tired when we ari rived. Frank and family and Mr. , Coffee met us at the train and we 1 went right to their place. The very > next day found us looking for a home i and the investigations resulted in > Frank and myself each buying a lot, | on which we will build bungalows at [ once. A house Is scarcely finished I here until an offer to purchase it has 1 been received. Houses, by the way, spring up here, almost before you 1 know It and the sound of the hammer is heard on every hand. I believe I there is more building in this city In three months, than in our fine old state of Indiana in a year. So far as ’ 1 have seen It, I am certainly well ■ pleased with our new home. The climate is so fine, and living not much i higher than Indiana, except butter and eggs. We get fresh vegetables l each day at reasonable prices. We notice tomatoes, cabbage and other plants on sale here now and it seems rather queer. Just the other day I saw a farmer hauling his alfalfa hay in from the field. Our new home will be about twenty-five minutes' ride on the car from the main part of the • city. We are in full view of the ’ mountains, which look to be only about a mile away, but are really several. We are about ten miles from the ocean, but close enough that wo have made several trips there and watched the hundreds in bathing. Mrs. Burns is delighted with everything here and believes we will all feel at home soon. With best regards to all, M. BURNS. o 1 With the approach of the close of the year, the various lodges and clubs are holding their election of officers to serve for the new year or period. The Pocahontas council Thursday evening elected the following for the ensuing year: Prophetess—Mrs. Martha Stevens. [ Pocahontas—Mrs. Rebekah Eady. May Moyer. ■ Powhatan- —A. W. Gerard. Keeper of Records —Mrs. Al Burdg Keeper of Wampum—Mrs, flora ’ Patten. I The Yeomen lodfifi elected the following new eAMaI staff: Foreman-Jesse Hurst. 1 Master of Ceremonies —Lew Samp1 son ! Chaplain—Mrs. Martha Stevens. I Correspondent —Mrs. Florence Bain. Master of Accounts—Frank Cramer. J (United Press Service) : Washington, D. C., Dec. 6—(Special I to Daily Democrat) —In a message I teeming with optimism, President - Taft urged upon congress an advanc- ■ ed campaign of legislation on the sis--1 cal judicial, military and insular affairs of the nation. Pleading for the - immediate passage of a currency re- ; form measure along the lines of the t Aldrich plan, the president declared I for a bigger navy; a further reorganization of the army to provide a • greater reserve during time of peace; ■ continued supervision over Porto Rico 1 and the Philippines; federal regulation of water powers in navigable streams, and the promulgation of a workmen's ) compensation act. - ■ The president highly praised Coli onel Costhals, chief engineer of the ? Panama Canal, and recommended that > in recognition of his wonderful work f Goethals be made a major general in the army with the title of chief of < engineers when the present incum- • bent is retired. -i The tariff the president dismissed . i with a few paragraphs. "It was my i belief that those custom duties ought 1 to be revised downward,’ 'he said, > "but now that a news congress has - been elected on a platform of a tariff -for revenue only, rather than a pro- : tective tariff, it is needless for me to occupy the time of congress with argu- - ments or recommendations of a proteci. tlve tariff." > The $22,000,000 deficit which ap- ’ pears between the treasurer’s report ■ of estimated income for the coming i year and the estimated expenditures, the president blamed on congress’ ’ failure to appropriate for two battle- ' ships last year, necessitating for three ■, this year. The president's plea for a revised banking and currency system was especially emphatic. Declaring it the| most crying need of the country today he recommended the immediate adoption of an elastic currency system ■along the lines of the central bank . idea proposed by the Aldrich currency biu - , Discussing the prejudice which greeted the central bank idea the pres--1 ident argued that it arose from an er- ! roneous idea of its powers and a distrust of bankers by the people. I The president warmly commended the recent adoption in the army of the three-year reserve clause for enlisted men which makes them subject to draft in case of war, after their ! enlistments had expired, and the mil- ' itla pay bill for the national guard, the | volunteer bill to provide for the quick- ' raising of torees in time of war and

the adoption of the resident soldiery idea for our insular possessions, There were two Judges holding court in the Adams circuit court today. Special Judge James J. Moran came down from Portland and heard the arguments in the Fast ditch case venued here from Allen county. He ■ took the matter under advisement and | will render his decision later. Prior to the arguments the plaintiff asked leave to dismiss as to the defendants, Ross McCullough, T. E. Ellison, Frank Morton, Jacob Hill and Calvin Brown, which was granted. Exceptions were taken by R. K. Erwin for his clients, who objected to the dismissal. This is the case in which the Allen county commissioners brought suit against Arthur C. Fast et al. for costs accrued In the famous ditch case Among Ft. Wayne lawyers present were R. K. Erwin, T. E. Ellison, E. G. Hoffman. The trial of the Eli W Steele case, heard before Judge Merryman, will probably not be concluded now before next Tuesday. The evidence for the defense will probably be finished today. Adjournment for the week-end will likely be taken tomorrow noon, and the caae resumed Monday morx ing. In the matter of the Tzmls Bracht et al. drain, the final report was approved and the superintendent discharged. Sarah A.

C., Dec. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)- —Close friends of Governor Wilson today received word from Bermuda that the president-elect had realized that he could not very well change the date of the inauguration and that it would occur on March 4th, as usual. The law provides that the president be sworn in on March 4th, but the matter of ceremony is merely a custom. Governor Wilson announced a U-eek ago that he would mereely ’take the oath, of office on March 4th, and because of the usual inclement weather, would delay the festivities until April.

among the various sales points in this city and county. The arrival is a little later than the schedule time, which was to have been Thanksgiving day, whena simultaneous sale was to have been begun over the entire state. They are, however, in good season, and every Christmas and New Year’s package should be adorned with one. They cost one cent each. Dr. P. B. Thomas, Washington township vice president, has appointed Albert Sellemeyer distributing agent for this vicinity and Mr. Sellemeyer was busy today placing the ten thousand seals given him. These were left at the various mercantile houses in the city, where the sales will be made. If all merchants, who desire to help In the good cause, have not yet been given any seals, and desire them to sell, they can secure them by calling on Mr. Sellemeyer at the Holthouse drug store.

A poem by Mrs. Arthur Suttles, a piano duet by the Misses Nellie Nichols and Vera Hower and a song by Mrs. C. L. Walters, and Mrs. P. B. Thomas, were much appreciated. The society also outlined plans for the new year, and decided to take up the study of “Mormanism,” the “ism of America," for the new year, At the meeting at the home of Mrs, L. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Gus Schroeder of Fort Wayne were entertained yesterday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bultemeier of St. John’s.

In view of the approaching holiday season, when many social festivities will be in order, the social realm is rather quiet at present. BE SURE YOU’RE RIGHT. (United Press Service) Washington, D. C., Dec. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Every Christmas 25,000 persons fail to receive gifts sent by mail and all because the sender does not exercise ordinary care in addressing the packages. To obviate this disappointment Postmaster General Hitchcock issued an appeal to the people today to make sure that the address is correct and-that the address of the sender is upon the upper left hand corner of the package. POLICE COURT NEWS. In the trials for plain drunk held Thursday before ’Squire Stone, one of the defendants was Jacob Meyers. Inasmuch as two or three Jacob Meyers reside in this city we wish to state that the Jacob Meyers who was convicted was a carpenter by trade. GET QUAIL NOW. Season for Hunting Them Closes January Ist. Adams county hunters who have been letting the season slip by without much action are planning to take full advantage of December. The quail season ends January Ist. Hunters say, however, that there are fewer quail in the fields this year than they have noted in years past and they attribute this condition to the hard winter of 1911, when the birds starved to death because of inability to pick food from under the ice whfch covered the fields much of the time. Rabbity are also more scarce than usual jdst now, having been pretty well shot;-out where they have been known to have holes. The rabbit season continues in full legal force, however, until the first of next October,

FT. WAYNE WILL HAVE FAIR. They Lost One Year Because Too Wet Then Too "Dry." — In spite of the financial loss experienced by the stockholders of the Fort Wayne Fair association during the past year, they have decided to have another fair next year, under the dii rectlon of the same men and conducted along the same principles. Last year the loss was attributed to , the Inclement weather, there being j rainfall on nearly every day. This year the association has attributed the loss to the fact that the fair was "dry," there being no liquor allowed on the grounds. The loss of the bar meant the loss of more than $2,000 in cash to the association, besides the smaller attendance. In 1910, when there was a bar on the grounds, the attendance was better than 36,000. This year, with the weather fine, the attendance was little better than 27,000. Despite this loss, the members of the association believe they can make the fair a paying proposition. JOHN DIDOT WAS VERY SICK MAN. Suffered Severe Attack at the John P. Brown Home Sunday Morning. John Didot, the Geneva jeweler, formerly in business in this city, and who has been for some time driving a jewelry wagon over the country, that he may recover his health, was in town today after a severe illness of several days’ duration at the home of John P. Brown, south of the city. Mr. Didot stopped there Saturdaynight enroute to this city, and accepted an invitation to spend the night. About 2 o’clock Sunday morning he became ill and not wishing to disturb the family tried to revive himself. He managed to get up and made several attempts to start the circulation, but each time became too weak and finally sank jnto unconsciousness from which ha did not revive until Sunday evening. A physician was summoned from Monroe and for a | time it was feared he could not re-1 cover as the heart had almost stopped j beating. Heroic efforts finally restor-1 ed him and he was able to leave the Brown home Tuesday. He feels very grateful to the Brown family and the neighbors who cared for him and will always remember them with kindly thoughts. The Illness was attributed to a lack of circulation and acute indigestion. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES That Make Housework Play Sold by Miss Gusta Cramer.

1 A most pitiable case, that of a man in the last stages of consumption, homeless, penniliess and who is said to be addicted to strong drink, came to the notice of local physicians Thursday afternoon. The man, who is forty-two years of 1 age, and a wanderer on the face of the globe, had been working in the city at one of the factories the past three weeks. Thursday he came to this city and spent much of the day lounging about. He slept for a while in the various officials’ offices, and later went to the l bench in front of the Everett & Hite , store, exposed to the damp and chill of the rain, where he suffered several hemorrhages of the lungs. Marshal Peterson’s attention was finally called to him and he took him to the county physician, who stated that the man was too far gone to hope ' for a cure. It was desided best to get him out of the city, upon which he might become a burden, and he was put on the 5:30 car and shipped to Fort Wayne, Marshal Peterson paying his fare. The man it Is said was at one time an inmate of the hospital for tubercular treatment at Denver, but was discharged, as incurable. On return I to the heavy air of this climate, his ' decline has been rapid. o | The great “White Plague" claimed another victory when Mrs. Jacob Augsberger, of Linn Grove, answered the call of death yesterday. Mrs. Augsburger, who was thirty-four years of age, had been a sufferer for the past two years, and since early fall, had been in a very weakened condition. | Her maiden name was Cora Schindler and she was a daughter of Peter Schindler of Ft. Wayne. j In young womanhood she was married to Jacob Augsburger, the heart-

Mrs. Schindler was a very excellent woman and leaves besides the aforesaid relatives, many others and innumerable friends. Monday morning at nine o’clock, the funeral will be held from the home, followed by a service at the Evangelical church at Linn Grove. —Q BURIAL TODAY.

A "Fat” Year ; in the Southwest The "fat” years in the Southwest are here and one "fat” year follows another. This year has been one of bountiful crops in the Southwest — ‘ crops that paid the initial cost of the land because the land was cheap and enormously productive.
