She alleges other I SB S efbt'l 3 inhuman treatment. BKfe Miller was a widow, with several i : children when the defendant • Hgr.i’-d her, and lived upon her own i fare in Kirkland township. Soon alter they were married she alleges, Mr ■ Mill* : began his abuse of her in the ' presence of her children, calling her : ■Hprv other vile names “an old rip," l pref, i ng the name with adjectives ’ that w’ouldn’t look well in print. He i fntß<*rmore told her to go to a place i It is very warm in the extreme This i | not done, however, to get out of i rutting wood, to make the fire, al- i his failure to do so, is another cl ciuelty. Mrs. Miller says i ' *od to cut wood for their i houst i old while he sat in the house i or Brent away for the day. Once, she i says, he even slapped her in the face. ; He said, she alleges further, that hefcsaid “I don’t care if you do get ' sick and die,” accompanying the words t with an oath. She alleges further, that I Jxeaiwould stay a« tty from home all I

sight and then come home drunk. Om e ,he brought an old drunken man home with him, and when she refused : to IM him stay all night there, with ‘ I the family, the husband became angry and went away from home and remained away all night. When she remonstrated against his acts, she says he cursed her and made ugly faces at her in an insulting manner. He also told her that her children were thieves. She says he refused to work, and while she had an income from her farm, he had none. What time and money he had, she says he spent in saloons, and he often asked her to sell her tarm and buy him a saloon, which she refused to do. Another cause of complaint is that ho kept his horse in Iter barn and used her fields for it. i ..I - o - -— ' Suffering a relapse, that brought on a fatal Illness, while here on his “last visit home" during Old Home Week in ; October, Earl Richards, aged twentyfour, of Freeport, Mich., passed away at 7:30 o'clock this morning at the home of his father, J. Frank Richards, ■ residing three miles east of the city on the J. S. Boyers farm. The son had been ill with pneumonia at his home in Michigan, and had just been able to be about again, before he came here to visit during Old Home Week. On Friday of that week’s celebration, during the heavy rains, he became wet, during exposure, and this brought on the relapse, which resulted in his death from tuberculosis. His wife, who had preceded him here on a visit, and bad then gone to Elida, Ohio, to visit with her mother, Mrs. Doty, was called here again by her husband’s illness, and remained with him during the entire time, together with their two-year-old daughter, Bethel. They also have two sons, aged four and five years, who had been here a part of the time, and were later taken by their grandfather to his home at Huntertown, Ind. Their last visit here to see their father was at Christmas time. The deceased lived here in his early boyhood days, Mr. Richards residing on a farm in Kirkland township at that time. When Earl was about fourteen years of age, the family moved to Lima, and it was there that the son, Earl, was married, he and his w’ife later going to Freeport, Mich. Besides bis wife and three children, and the father, the deceased leaves a sister, who is Mrs. Mary Miller, of Cummins, Mich., and seven brothers. They are: John, at home; Clyde, Harve and Lester, at Freeport, Mich; Delma. at Cummins, Mich.; and Carl, in the United States marine service. There are also a half-sister and two half-brothers. The mother died about fifteen years ago. The funeral arrangements have not been made, and will be deferred until word from the relatives from a distan<- Is gotten. ——o Sec.B. The law requires that on and after January 1, 1913, the postage on all matter of the fourth-class must be prepaid by distinctice parcel post stamps affixed. Postmasters cannot receive for mailing parcels that do not bear such stamps. The above paragiaph we are informed by Postmaster Lower, seems to be generally misunderstood and is causing much inconvenience to the clerks in the postoffice and a loss to the patrons. It means that any merchandise sent out, which forms the fourth-class mail, must bear the parcel post stamp and not a regular stamp. If you put a regular stamp on you lose it and the goods do not move. Please remember it, if you would avoid invoncenience. You will see from the above that the postofflee officials can do nothing but hold the goods for a proper stamp. This is true even where the postage is only one cent. Postmaster Lower also informs us that the parcels post business is increasing with each incoming and outgoing mail and it looks like a most successful plan. The records at the office also show that the business for December, 1912, exceeded that of 1911 by over S3OO. One of the large plate glass windows in the office of the Daily Democrat was broken at 11 o’clock this morning, causing a loss of something like S9O when J. T. Coots fell against the window. Mr. Coots had walked up to the window and was looking at a show lithograph. As he turned around his feet slipped out from under him and he fell back with such force that the glass was broken into about a million pieces. Rob rt Blackburn was seated in a chair Just inside the window and was almost buried in the shower of glass. Strange to say, ; neither man -received a scratch. Mr. I Codts was hurled back toward the street, staggered and fell and was dazed for a moment, but soon recovered. The window is covered by insurance and will be replaced ns soon as possible. Os course we would have preferred to have had this happen, if it had to, at some other season than the first cold snap, but somehow or other these smash-ups can’t be regulated to suit weather conditions.

I— . y...!-—I If w ehave to add another layer of overcoats. - o--The public joint installation of olfl<ers q( Sam Henry Post, No. 63 and Woman's Relief Corps, No. 41, wits held at the Grand Army hall Thursday evening, beginning at 7 o'clock, the hall being comfortably filled. Comrade B. W. Sholty acted as mustering officer and installed the following officers: Commander — Comrade Fred R. Freeh. Senior Vice —Comrade F. V. Kitson. Junior Vice—Comrade William Wetter , Chaplain — Comrade L Cherry holmes. Quartermaster — Comrade Elijah Walters. Asistant Quartermaster — Comrade Ezra Cutting. Adjutant—Comrade L. N. Grandstaff Assistant Adjutant—Comrade Dr. C. T. Rainier. Guard —Comrade Sam Chronister. Officer of the Day—Comrade D. K. Shackley. Patriotinc Instructor —Comrade J. D. Hale. After the installation a recess was taken and the post and corps marched to the corridor of the court house, where the model for the proposed memorial to the soldiers is on exhibition, and there listened to a detailed description of the model, given by Mr. Mulligan, sculptor, from the Art Institute of Chicago, who, in a pleasing manner made plain the object and purpose of the design submitted to the memorial committee, which, from the expressions manifested, met with the hearty approval of both post and corps. Returning to the hall the installing officer of the Relief Corp, Mrs. Emma Helm, took charge and Installed the following officers: President —Mrs. Nellie Eady. Senior Vice President —Mrs. Jennie Rainier. Junior Vice President —Mrs. Dale Kitson. Chaplain—Mrs. Kate Grandstaff. Secretary—Mrs. Vinnie Lyon. Treasurer —Mrs. Ida Chronister. Conductress—Mrs. Mary Williamg. Assistant Conductress —Mrs. Sarah Purdy. Guard —Marie Hower. Asistant Guard—Mary Durr. Press Correspondent—Dr. Elizabeth Burns. Patriotic Instructor —Mrs. Emma Helm. Musician —Mrs. Vinnie Lyon. After the installation was over a short program was given in which ‘lev. Semans gave a very interesting and patriotic talk telling of his hike up the Adhondack mountains, on one of his past vacations and his visit to the old home and tomb of John Brown, telling of his beautiful thoughts as he sat in the same chair, as John Brown had once sat, and walked through the same rooms as he had done and of how, after all these years, we are now able to feel that all the bitter feelings that once existed between the north and the south are laid away forever, as are the bodies of our dead ones, and we are truly ableto say we are a united people. A talk was also given by Mr. Mulligan, the Chicago sculptor, who, in a very interesting and patriotic way, gave a talk on his experiences as a sculptor for the Grand Army posts of different states, relating an incident which tends to show that in the south as well as the north the has been forgotten and we stand together as one people. While visiting a scene of a former battle near Vicksburg he unearthed the bones of a body said by a southern colonel to be a member of an Illinois troop who had lost his life in attempting to plant the flag on top of the parapet, which was between the two armies. He went to the National Cemetery association, presenting the facts to them, and th<*y were only too glad to pick up and bury among the southern dead the remains of the northern hero. A very patriotic talk was given by Mr. French Quinn, and a plea for the co-operation of the post and corps In deciding upon a fitting memorial to our dead. A beautiful solo was given by Mrs. Vinnie Lyon and the patriotic songs led by L. N. Grandstaff, were very enthusiastic, and as we sang “Marching Through Georgia,” all joined in marching around the hall and waving flags. After the program, a social hour, with lunch, was enjoybd and all departed from the hall feeling more patriotic and more enthused with the idea of hastening the time when Hie Grand Army Post can unveil a fitting memorial to all the soldiers of the county. PRESS CORRESPONDENT. View the Model. Charles Mulligan, sculptor, of the Chicago Art Institute, whose model is now before tne committee for consideration for the Adams county soldiers’ memorial, arrived Thursday night, and when the recess adjournment at the G. A. R. hall was taken, met the large throng at the court house corridor, where the model is on display. He also brought blue prints and diagrams, showing the plans in detail, and the

t beautiful work, with all Its symbolic significance, was explaihed by Mr. Mulligan. Mr. Mulligan was called - back to Chicago by telegram and left I Thursday night, but arranged for 3 specifications for the monument to be f sent by next Monday. No other mod- » els have ben submitted to the committee .and it is quite likely that they - will decide to recommend this model - to the county commissioners, an the pattern for it* memorial for which SIO,OOO have been appropriated, as all seem to be well leased with it. The . committee was culled to meet this < morning at the Bowers Realty office, when decision was to uavo been made. On account of the illness of the chair- i man, S. B. Fordyce, who could not be i i present, no decision could be made, i and another meeting was called for ; ' next Monday morning at 8:30 o’clock at the same place. At that time the t committee will decide whether they want the memorial made after this j model, and will then report their desires to the county commissioners who convene for their January session next Monday, that the work tending to the erection can go on as rapidly as ! possible. I Judge Merryman was ill and unable , , to appear in court this morning. By ■ telephone, D. B Erwin was appointed . special judge in the case in which William Barrone sought to have a . guardian appointed for the aged Polly ■ Barrone, who on account of infirmity ; he declared unable to manage her es- - tate. The case was submitted and it * was adjudged that said guardian * should be appointed. The plaintiff's > attorney was allbwed sls and the I prosecuting attorney, $lO.

Fugate, 80 acres, Kirki land tp., SISOO. 1 County Clerk Bleeke has received the blanks for the annual statistical report to be furnished the state a board and will soon begin the big task 1 of filling them out. 5 £ Ralph M. Drew was admitted to th; Adams county bar this morning, upon o recommendation of a committee com ’’ prised of Attorneys A. P. Beatty, John B C. Moran and David E. Smith, who 1 e examined him and found his possesst ing the necessary qualifications Mr Drew’ comes from a line of attorneys, ,1 he being a grandson of William B. Drew, the attorney of Geneva, who is well known in the Adams circuit court where he often appears. 3 George Tricker, the well known farmer of Route nine, has returned j from a trip through eastern Ohio, where he visited during the holidays, , and where he enjoyed a delightful t time, stopping during the week at t Youngstown, Niles, Warren, Courtland, j Kinsman and Gustavus. While there , Mr. Tricker made himself quite familiar with the large farm recently , purchased by J. M. Frisinger of this . city with a view of becoming intery ested with Mr. Frisinger in the estab4 lishment of a branch live-stock and I breeding farm, about twenty miles 3 north of Youngstown. He was well a pleased with the farm and the sur- } rounding conditions. It is a 300-acre tract with good buildings and nicely f located. The schools in that section especially appealed to Mr. Tricker, the s terms lasting eight months and the i schools being centralized. The chll- , 1 dren are conveyed to school, each ; 1 morning, the rigs stopping at each ! house. George met several former nc-; 5 quaintances and thoroughly enjoyed himself. While the deal with Mr. j Frisinger has not been completed, It is ■ s quite possible that it will be, and . that Mr. Tricker and family may soon . become residents of the Buckeye state. i l r| Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rich, a bride and I groom, have returned from Le«lie, ; Michigan, where their wedding occur- > re# and will be at home in their own ; cozy home in Monroe, after three j weeks. They are now visiting here r with relatives. Their wedding which I ; toolt place cn Christmas evening at ■ six o'clock, will no doubt be a stir- | prise to their friends here. The bride ■was Miss Vera Andrews, formerly, em- ! ployed at the First National bank of j this city. She resigned this position j in October, to prepare for the coming

wedding, the date of which, however, was not announced to friends here before. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Andrews formerly of this county, but who are now living at Leslie, Michigan, where they moved a year ago. The groom is a son of Peter Rich of Monroe, and he is foreman of the Monroe Milling Company. The wedding was solemnized at six o'clock Christmas evening at the Andrews home at Leslie, and the Rev. Jordon , officiating Only the immediate family, and Mrs. Agnes Andrews of this ’ city, an aunt of tjie bride were present. For her wedding gown, the bride wore , tan silk, becomingly made, and her traveling suit, was a navy blue tailored costume. Both are popular and deservedly so, because of their many good qualities, and their friends will rejoi' e to hear of their wedding. The bride is a granddaughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. T. Rainier of this city. John H. Ilolthouse of this city, who has been engaged in the cement product business at Bluffton for several years, has sold his p'ant there to Rainey & McKim, two business men of that city. The plant manufactures all kinds of cement products ,and is the largest of its kind in the state, employing from ten to fifteen men. The business prospered and grew so rapidly until it became a burden to Mr. Holthouse, who, on account of having other interests elsewhere, decided he could not give it the attention he desired. He therefore decided to sell, and will confine his attention to his business here. Mr. Holthouse is a member of the Holthouse Drug company of this city. Quite a number of farmers gathered at the court room this morning in answer to a call to meet the men who will iepresent this district in the coming session of the legislature to discuss matters of interest. Henry Blakey of Union township presided and a number of propositions were talked over. Mr. Beatty, the representative, was present and read a letter i-’ eming, stating that he was very sorry, but that he could not attend because of a previous meeting arranged for in the Twelfth district. He expressed himself, however, on good roads and offered his services in anything the farmers of Adams county felt to be to their interests. C. H. Getting was named secretary of the meeting, and the chairman asked for talks. The first matter taken up was that of increasing the four per cent township limit for road building to six per cent. It was discussed for some time, but the motion for a resolution t’ ch a law be passed lost by a large majority. Both Mr. Beatty and Mr. Fleming are opposed to the proposed movement to have a state highway commission, and to any other law which makes Adams county help build roads in other counties after we have built 500 miles of our own. John Nidlinger struck a popular chord when he asked that the representative be urged to present a lawproviding that no officer or set of officers have their salaries increased and that any law increasing a salary should not take affect during the term during which law Is passed. About the most important action of the men who met here this morning was the voicing of an opinion favoring a law which takes tie repairs of gravel and macadam roads out of the hands of the county and gives that power to each township, to be looked after by repair superintendents who also do the work of the present supervisors and receive the same pay. The law is also to provide that each township use the money received from that tax in that township. Quite a discussion regarding a law i providing for the establishment of sta-' tions where serum can be obtained by the farmers for the treatment of hogs stricken with cholera. This action is being taken in other states and Ad- , ams county farmers do not want Indiana to be In the rear on anything. Mr. Beatty will prepare such bills as he was instructed to do at this j meting and will have an idea on variI ous problems when the bills are presented by others in the legislature for there were many ideas expressed. A suggestion that the liquor laws be changed so that it affects wards and townships instead of cities and townships did not meet with the approval of those present and no action was taken. The meeting continued until 12 o'clock and adjourned to reconvene at 1:30 this afternoon. Postmaster W. A. Lower announced this morning that word was received from headquarters that Martin Jaberg, who passed the recent examination for the position of frural mail carrier, to fill a vacancy in the local rm al mail carriers’ force, on route three, made the highest grade, and is thus eligible for the position. He will be given route eight, as upon application of two other carriers who have been long in the service, they were given a transferrence to other routes. Roy Wolford, who has been carrier on rural route twelve, was allowed transferrence to route three, succeed-

Ing Homer Lower. Route twelve, which was relinquished by Roy Wolford, Is assigned to Miss Maude Mag- ( ley, who formerly had route eight. I The change will be effective January 16th. Mr. Jaberg, who was the successful candidate out of a class o ftwentytwo. Is a well known school teacher of the county. Mr. Jaberg has been principal of the Monmouth school, where he has' given excellent satisfaction and there is mutual regret to teacher and patrons over his resignation. The sact 1 ! that the new position will give him J employment the entire year, is an in-1 ducement, however, to him to relinquish the teaching. o The anniversary of the Daily Democrat is a pleasing event. It is more than you think unless you really stop to consider that for the first time since this county was organized a daily paper has been conducted for a period ten years. That means that I it has come to stay for we are glad ' to say it is now a self-sustaining institution. There are, on our books many people who have taken the paper every day since It started, and among them is P. W. Smith, president of the First National bank, former resident here, and who writes us the following letter, the good wishes in which we feel are genuine: Richmond, Ind., Jan. 3, 1913. Mr. J. H. Heller, Decatur Democrat: My Dear Sir: —Enclosed find my check as per yours of even date. Wishing you all the prosperity and continued success possible, and trusting that the future may be even more successful and satisfactory to you, with a circulation of 6,000 in ten years hence. Yours very truly, P. W. SMITH. BUILDING GOES ON. The new house erected by Roy Mumma on Adams street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, is well un der way, in spite of the wintry weather. Teeple & Whitman are the contractors. Mr. Mumma's father-in-law, Lewis Jeffers, is also making one on the lot adjoining. Herbert Pennington has the contract for the Jeffen house. It is thought the residences can be gotten ready for occupancy by spring. It is said that the coming spring will see a great building boom, as many contractors are figuring on many prospective Jobs. o ■ UNCLE HEZEKIAH OBSERVES.

II - ■ - —' ■■ The semi-annual school apportionment, made Thursday by Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, resulted in the distribution to the counties of the state ' of $1,469,683.42 as a per capita basis . of $1.93 for each pupil enumerated. The number of pupils in the state as- ’ cording to the last enumeration, was ’ 761,494. The apportionment is of money paid to the counties by the state on a per capita basis for school purposes. It is made up of the state school tax, less the deficiency fund, and the additional sums oi the interest and unclaimed fees on the common school fund. The money was paid into the state treasury by the counties at the December settlement. i The state school tax for the halfyear amounted to $1,250,584.02. The deficiency fund was $65,030.37. The interest on the common school fund was $280,500.31 and the unclaimed fees $406.22. The state retains a bal ance of $7,000. Apportionments to counties in this immediate section are as follows: Adams $13,266.82 Allen 51,085.17 Blackford 8,760.27 Huntington 15,885.83 Jay 13,693..

With cries of “Do your Christ mas shopping early" still ringing in the atmosphere not many people have thought of other holidays to conquer. But let it be here set down that Easter will arrive promptly on March 23, and that it hasn't arrived so early since the good old days of 1856, when there was no Easter parade, and folks had not taken to blossoming out in a brand new .almost summery attire in honor of the occasion.

or so of our citizens of this sand in mld-June, or if you were to grant them ( Christmas and all that goes with It in early December, the upheaval would be no greater than it will be when Easter makes its untimely appearance in the blustering, stormy, cold, cheerless and altogether unliked and disagreeable month of March —the month of the great blizzard of 'BB, and other regrettable things atmospheric. What'ever comfort there is in knowing that Easter came as early as this fifty-sev-en years ago, or even a day earlier in 1812, or even two days earier in the ! year 381 A. D. in that part of the | world known as Gaul —may be expected at will. The point is that In 1787, also in 1812, and in 1855, so far as records go, Easter parades were not in fashion and the particular date did not matter very much. Adam Deam of Root township has received word of the death of an older ' brother, Madison Deam, unmarried, who resided at Ossian, his death occurring Friday evening. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Presbyterian church there. A niece, Miss Bertha Deam, who is employed in this city, left this morning for her home upon receipt of the word of death. John and Jerry C. Evans left today noon for Fulton county, where they were called by the death of an aged aunt, Mrs. Jane Mogle, which occurred Friday. The funeral will be held tomorrow. Another death message was received in this city this morning by Mrs. William Mcßarnes and Mrs. Alice Peterson, bringing the news that their uncle, James Hall, an aged man of Huntington, was dead. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the Decatur relatives will attend. a Helen Jennice fs the name of the baby girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gerke. This is the second child in the family, tne elder being a boy.
