t The beautiful home of County Commissioner James Hendricks and wife s t Monroe was thrown open to the senior class of the Decatur high school Wi-dnesday evening, their son,' Clyde, who la a member of the class, w tertained. The Jolly party of Deca tur students, with teacher, Miss Lena Sutton, left thia <\y at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, by hay rack, and with ideal weather, had a most delightful ride. They were given complete* possession of the home, and dancing and singing and a general good time was In order. Then came a very seasonable contest, in which questions relating to George Washington, were answered. Robert Peterson , and Lulu Atz won prizes In this. A luncheon, very delicious, was served jn two courses, Mrs. Hendricks being assister by Mr. Hendricks and son, Clyde, and Mrs. W. R. Dorwln of this city. Tiny American flags were given a vors. The drive home through the bright moonlight was a delightful one, the party reaching here at 2 o’clock this morning. The Misses Nellie Lammerman, Harriet Mayer, ■ Anna Hendricks, Chester Hendricks of Monroe were guests besides the following Decatur party: Robert HalePe-j terson, William Beavers, Jake Kauffman, Cy Vail, Irwin Merry, Rex Sowlo, Lulu Atz.

Electa Baltzell, Monema Fleming, Nellie Daniels, Agnes Eady, Ruth Parrish. Ruth Patterson. Special decorations of the Hendricks home were in honor of the approaching George Washington's birthday, and were carried out with a profusion of flags. Potted hyacinths also added beauty and fragrance. Mrs. E. E. Rice, leader, had a splendid lesson of facts, interestingly told, on the Netherlands Liberations for the Shakespeare club yesterday afternoon when Mrs. J. S. Boyers was hostess. The discussion of annual business matters of Importance came up at this time, relative to the study for next year, but no decision was made. The ladies are looking forward with Interest to their Martha Washington tea Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J. H. Heller. This will be a very informal affair, but thoroughly enjoyable. The club expects to entertain a company of eighty, as each member is privileged the inviting of! three guests. The Scandinavian novelists—Jonas Lie. of Norway and Arne Gargorg, of Sweden—were studied by the Enter-' peans Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Hess Congleton, with Miss Clara Williams, leader. The next ’ meeting will be March 6, with Mrs. Florence Myers, when Mrs. Helen Patterson will be leader. Miss Inez Coverdale joined the Alba Theta club girls in one of their good times Wednesday evening, when Miss Frances Baker entertained them very j pleasantly, The girls talked while they sewed, and later had a very good I luncheon. The Misses Mabel Weldy and Osee Armstrong, the latter of Ridgeville, will give a recital a week from this evening at the Christian church, for the benefit of the Ruth Circle. Readings and music by these talented young ladies will comprise an excellent program. A surprise was given on Alonza Runyon at his home at Linn Grove, It being his sixty-second birthday. A bounteous supper was given in honor of the event Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Merrer and daughter, Lenna; Howard Evers, Courtney Runyon, Oscar Meshberger, Jacob Augsburger, Frank Neusbaumer, Frank Reffee, Abe Meshberger, Rufus Krepps. Frank, Chester, John, Vearl and Mrs. Runyon, George Adler and wife, P. D. Kiser, A. J. French, Samuel Opliger, Ella Brown and Dan Runyon. The Knights of Pythias of Willshire will give a home talent show next Tuesday evening under the direction of J. Vai Faudree. The show is entitled "The Old Quarry," and is a four-act comedy worth seeing, we are informed. Quite a number from here are planning to attend. Rev. R. L. Hernans of the Methodist church, this morning at 9 o’clock officiated at the wedding of Arden Franklin Andrews and Daisy Leonabelle Fanning, at the Methodjst parsonage. They will leave in a few days for Saskatchewan, Canada, where they will live. The home of Trustee Frank Wechter, of Blue Creek township, was a busy scene this morning when blds were received for the construction of the new one-story brick school house to be erected in Distract No. 5. The bid of John C. Adams, mayor, and contractor of Willshire, 0., for $7,056.70 was accepted and contract entered

. Into. Amos Gllllg of this city was next lowest, his bid helng only sllß higher dhan Adams. Other bids were received as follows; , E E. Neaenschwander, Berne, $7,813; Linn & Patton, Decatur, $8,718; Mann A Christen, Decatur, $7,575; Berne Witness Co., $8,157;’ Lelchty Bros., $8,159. The bonds were sold this afternoon, three bidders being present. The work on the construction of the : building will begin at once, that it may be completed for school in the fall. The plans for the building, which will be modern and complete in all ways, were drawn by Architect Oscar ,Hoffman of this city. The school house will have one room, with basement, furnace heating plant, and other conveniences. About fifty attended the meeting at the Wechter home today and were guests at a fine chicken dinner at noon prepared by Mrs. Wechter. Attorney D. B. Erwin of this city was legal i counsel. : Judge James J. Moran of Portland, special judge in the case of the Board of Commissioners of Allen county vs. \ Arthur C. Fast et al., a case venued here from Allen county, was holding | court here this morning, when matters came up in this case for consideration. Leave was asked by the plaintiff to amend the complaint, and each paragraph by substituting The State of Indiana as plaintiff on relation of the Board of Commissioners of the County of Allen. All the defendants objected to this asking leave to amend. The case is brought to recover costs accrued in the trial of the Rist ditch case. Several Fort Wayne lawyers were here this morning when the action was had. Isaac Weible, of Geneva, on trial two days in the Adams circuit court on the grand jury indictment of visiting a gaming house, was convicted by the jury, which reached a verdict last evening at 7 o’clock after deliberating from 5 o'clock. They fixed his punishment at $lO fine and ten days in the county jail. Indictments are pending over three other Geneva men on the same charge. They are Botkins, Runyon and Fenstmakel Their trial will probably not take place this term of court, as the jury would have to listen to practically the same evidence as heard in this case, and their decisions would be too much of a foregone conclusion to make it a fair trial. i The current report of Levi Poling, guardian of Tula Poling, was approved. Clark J. Lutz, appointed' special judge in the partition case of Louisa Meyers et al. vs. Mary Louisa Miller et al., assumed jurisdiction. The case of Sarah A. Fisher vs. Benjamin F. Fisher, divorce and aliimony, was dismissed and costs paid. Attorney D. B. Erwin filed a new case entitled The Bank of Berne vs. iGeorge W. Brewster, suit on note, de- | mand $l5O. j Real estate transfers: C. S. Niblick, i trustee, et al., to Julius Haugk, 1.50 acres. Root tp., S4OOO. Don Burke, a graduate of the Decatur high school, a son of Mr. and Mrs. ' John Burke, of this city, has won high honors for himself, and will win still higher ones, it is thought, for his school, Depauw University, at Greencastle, Indiana. A telegram from Greencastle announces that he won four firsts out of six in the oratorical contest. This means that he will have the honor of representing his university at the state oratorical contest to J bo held by the principal colleges of the state, this spring. The Depauw conest was a discussion of prohibition, and in this, Don with many other students, were contestants. Os the six judges, four gave him first honors, ’ this making him the delegate to the state contest, which is considered a high honor, as he represents his university of more than a thousand students. His Decatur friends predict a bright future ror him. He is now in his third year in the university, and has another year before he completes ( the course. 1 On her way to Europe with a case ’ of telephonitls, after nine years of service, Miss Minnie Warner, the highest paid and most velvety-voiced Chicago telephone operator, leaves behind her some practical ndvice to her ’ switchboard sisters the country over, says an exchange. Miss Warner, who is paid $l5O a month, says: “The bigger a man is the more po--1 lite he is likely to be to girls in my position. I have found the most influential men in the business to be - the most patient and considerate of i my feelings.” ,! Here are a few switchboard aphort isms out of Miss Warner’s experi- > ence: ,' "Don't argue. The angry man will . argue himself out of it if you let him ) alone. 1 “Don’t snap. Remember that a soft

answer turnath away wrath. "Don't be mechanical. Make every man on the wire believe that your softest tones are for him alone. "Dom't be indifferent. Make every kicker believe you are heartbroken because the line is busy. "Don't flirt. Let the other flirt all he likes, but you just laugh and attend to business. "Don't be prude. Don't hear what you are not supposed to hear, or what I is not fit for you to hear. | "Don't get tired. No matter how | tired you are, pretend you are as fresh as the dawn and try to look it., “I have learned that men are far more amenable to reason than wojnen are. Some women are exceedingly unreasonable at times, and no matter what their experience of the world, they never seem to find out the simplest rules of the game. It doesn't take a man long to realize that he can go further with kind words than with harsh ones, especially with telephone operators.” Carl Moses, formerly of this city, but now of Saskatchewan, Canada, will leave Monday for his home at that place, where he ha an extensive farm, being engaged in the raising of wheat and other farming products.' Mr. Moses has been in this section of the state since last December, and it was during this time that he was married to Miss Marguerite Hughes of Fort Wayne, the wedding taking place on Christmas day. Since that time Mr. and Mrs. Moses have been spending a part of their time with Mr. Moses' parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Moses, of this city and with Mrs. Moses’ parents in Fort Wayne. The large and valuable farm of Mr. Moses’ is composed of eight hundred acres of land, being some of the best fertilized in that part of the country, being used mostly in the growing of wheat. One hundred and sixty acres of this land was given to Carl by the government, under the conditions that he would make it his home for a certain number of years. The 640 acres, or section, was purchased by Mr. Moses some time ago, and by the way the price of this land would run up into the thousands of dollars. Mr. Moses will ship a car load of supplies to his farm, including ma- , chinery, tools, and other articles needed on his farm. He will remain in Canada until the harvest is over, and will then return to this city or Fort Wayne during the time when the extreme cold weather is on in Canada. Mrs. Moses will not go at present, but will remain with her parents until matters are put in shape on the farm. I The best wishes are extended to Carl for a prosperous season, and it is • without doubt that it will be so, if he has anything to do with it, as every year so far -has turned out very prosperous for him. The written objections which have been filed by Mock A- Mock, protesting ’ against the probating of the will of ■ Catherine Faylor indicate the basis of ■ a contest of the will, which it appears from the steps taken to be strongly contemplated, whether such contest , develops or not. There are differences • of opinion on this. In their exceptions the attorneys representing Thomas Faylor of Penn- • sylvania, object on one ground that • evidence has been Introduced in the 1 past in three different courts to the I effect that the testator was of unsound s mind and incapable of executing a will. ■ Another ground for objection was that 1 a previous objection to the probating > of the will, filed also by Thomas Fay--1 lor, back’in 1902, still is pending on J the docket and is unsettled. The firm -of Mock & Mock alleges that they were > not informed until Wednesday that f Roy Faylor, who filed the petition to r probate was a legatee. . On the other hand, in reply to the - above, the attorneys for Roy Faylor t allege that the time within which an . objection to the probate of the will » could have been filed has passed, and i that there cannot be a valid contest - entered at this late day against the • will being probated, against Roy Fayi lor, who was not a party to the Irst 1 objections entered. 1 If the contest gets before the court s again the contest, as indicated by the objections, will doubtless be on the ground of alleged unsoundness of ’ mind of Catherine Faylor. Her will f was executed 18 months before the J deed by which was transferred real i estate to D. D. Studabaker, and at ■ which latter time alj of the he'irs mainr tained she was of unsound mind. In the list of legatees mentioned Wednesday, in the article on the will, i one item was misread on the point of figures, and the bequest to Mrs. Re- - becca Houtz, who is dead, was $25, f instead of $2,500. D. D. Studabaker was named as ex- } ecutor of the will.—Bluffton News, so ■ — A sad death was recorded this - morning at 6 o’clock, when Joseph, - the little six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sovine, well known resi1 dents of Thirteenth street, passed into i the better world. The little fellow had been ill for some time with tuberent losis of the skin and another skin as-

section which seemed to baffie the‘ skill of the physicians, and death which came this morning was a wel- j come relief from his suffering. The heart-broken parents survive. He also ' leaves two sisters, Esther, aged eight, [and Maude, aged two. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Washing ton church and interment will take place In the Ray cemetery. | Mrs. Jacob Miller and Mrs. C. J. | Weaver, former neighbors of the Willard Oliver family, .received word to day of the sudden death of Mr. Oliver Wednesday morning from apoplexy. Mr. Oliver formerly resided here, serving r>s blacksmith for the E. N. Tyrell shop. About nine years ago the family moved to Huntington. Only two years ago Decatur friends attended the funeral of Mrs, Oliver and a year ago the funeral of the daughter, Beatrice. The Huntington Herald sass: "Stricken with apoplexy while engaged in what had been his lifelong vocation, that of a blacksmith, Willard Oliver, aged 62, died suddenly Wednesday morning at 10:10 o’clock In the Beeching & Gerard blacksmith shop. The aged blacksmith was engaged in shoeing a horse when he first complained of feeling ill and walked to the center of the shop, where he fell heavily to the floor and before assistance could reach him. Other employees of the shop carried him to the door and endeavored to revive him, while a hurried call was sent for a physician. The physician arrived five minutes before death, which occurred just twenty minutes after he was first stricken. "The aged man had not been in the best of health for some time. Earlier I Wednesday morning he complained of a pain in his stomach and visited a . blacksmith shop, located on Charles street, where he requested that a man i be permitted to return with him to ’ complete the work he had started, as : he was not able. Impatient at the de- ■ lay occurring before the employee of . the neighboring shop could come to his aid, Oliver resumed work and en i deavored to complete his work alone. > He had worked only a few minutes when overcome with the fatal strok°. f “The deceased had no immediate ■ relatives in Huntington. The wife • died two years ago this month and a i daughter passed away about a year I ago. A son, John, is living and since t the death of the daughter, has been • making his home with a sister of the ■ deceased in Columbus, Ohio. After t the daughter's death and the departure -of the son for Columbus, Ohio, where he makes his home, the aged man liv- > ed alone in the same house, never havs ing broken up housekeeping.” r BONDS TAXABLE. County Assessor George Genits is in receipt of a communication from the a state board of tax commissioners re- ; garding their ruling on government f bonds which are deposited with banks f by the owners in return for certificates 3 on which one and one-half to two per cent is paid. The state board holds t that such owners of bonds lose their 3 ownership and that the certificates are taxable, the real owners of the 3 bonds being the banks in which the . bonds are deposited. It is explained t that some banks, in order to have a s surplus, receive deposits of bonds and > pay small amounts of interest, which, 1 added to the premiums of the bonds, makes a neat income for the individt ual owner of bonds, providing he is not ; taxed on them. Government bonds ■ when held in Individual ownership i are not taxable. Mr. Gentis has found 1 no banks in Adams county holding , bonds in this manner. t • — > Just one year ago today the city of Decatur and its country surroundings ’ were snow-bound, with one of the bigr gest snows of many years. Pedestrians • had difficulty In making their way on 1 the city streets, while country trave>I era—and rural mail carriers, ewpeeialt ly, got stuck in snow drifts and had ’ to be shoveled out before they could ■ make their way back home again and t remain there until the snow disappear ed in the course of natural events. t By some stroke of rare bad luck 5 that day had been selected for the - holding of the district Knights of Pyr this convention, but the boys came I anyhow, and the snow was not quite ’ hight enough to reach up and extin--1 guish the music that emanated from t the cornet and fife, though there was ’ some difficulty in carrying the drum over the snow-drifts. 1 Today is just as much like spring as • that day was like winter. t POLICE COURT. » — Angello Carrollo, John Jones and ' James Miller, thl’ee Italians, who were CASTOR IA i For Infants and Children.

' arrest el Thursday afternoon at the construction camp near Magiey, by j Deputy Sheriff Kelly and Officer Melchi, were given trial Thursday night ' before 'Squire Stone, Carallo for surej ty of the peace and Jones and Miller [for carrying concealed weapons. The evidence produced for conviction was not deemed strong enough, however, so they were given their freedom. I Upon going out into the street from [the 'squire’s office, one of the American employees who evidently “had it In" for the Interpreter, took advantage of the crowd which had gathered and struck a blow. For a while it looked very much like a free-for-all fight would be Indulged tn, but the officers managed to get the foreigners headed for their camp and the excitement soon quieted down. —i * -• POOR MARRIAGE LAW I 1 That Won't Let You Marry Anywhere, 1 Even if Mamma is Willin.’ 1 When Dan Cupid got after the 1 hearts of a couple of young people [ who were merely passing through this ( city and caused them to have a burning desire to get married it was nothing out of the ordinary for the “afflicted" to try and get the matter settled as soon as possible and as a result within a few minutes after the manifestation of the desire Merlin Standiford of Adams county and Miss Nellie Maude Bartlett of Decatur, this state, presented themselves at the of1 flee of County Clerk A. E. Babcock. The application of the young man was first attended to, and, although he looked like he was 17 years old, ■ he stated that he was of the required ■ age. Then the smiling bride-to-be. ' or not-to-be, as it afterward proved, i came forward and informed the clerk i that she was 17 years old, which was i verified by the mother, who aecompan- > led the couple. All went well until i the young lady gave her residence as - Decatur, when the clerk balked and re- : fused to go any further with the nego- > tiations. In defense of his action he stated that he eould not issue a marriage license when the lady to the aci tlon did not reside in Fulton county. Then the couple and the girl’s mother ! informed Clerk Babcock that they > were on their way to Chicago, where i they were going to visit a relative and - wanted to surprise the folks, but all . to no avail and the disappointed party i left the court house with a very poor ■ idea of the Indiana marriage law.— ■ Rochester Sun, Feb. 20. > ... —«s FUNERAL OF TWIN BABES - Held Today—Bodies Taken To Van Buren For Burial.

Decatur little boy was being given I pointers on neatness and cleanliness. 1 While assisting in laying the supper j table, he dropped a knife and fo r k •. he was laying. “Be very careful to wipe them off before you use anything £ you have dropped on the floor,” bo 9 was told. His mother was horrified . to seo him obey by swiping the knife ; and fork deftly across his trousers' > leg. “Why, Johnny," she said, "you surely would know that you must’nt , wipe anything like that on your trou- } sers.” "O, well," said the boy, “It 1 won't hurt my pants, they ain’t very clean anyhow." 3 o - A prominent change in Berne business circles has taken place In the last week, occasioned by the resignation of Jesse Rupp, as cashier of the Bank of 1 Berne. Mr. Rupp resigned to enter j a new business, having formed a partnership with Marcus Yager, for the purchase of the grain elevator at West Unity, Ohio. Mr. Rupp has been succeeded as cashier by J. D. Winteregg, a member of the real estate and insurance firm of Hitschy & Winteregg, of Berne. I Mr. Yager, who formerly lived at I Berne, has been of late years the manager of the grain elevator at Grabill.

He is a brother of Mrs. J. C. Moran of this city. Mr. Yager will move at once to his new location, but Mr. Rupp will remain in Berne for six months, or more until he disposes of his property and holdings in Berne. Mr. Rupp has served since 1904 as cashier of the bank, with great credit to both himself and the bank. He is a member of the Berne school board, has 1 been president of the Adams County Sunday school association for many years and has been prominent in other city and county work. The new cashier, J. D. Winteregg, is a business man well qualified for the position, but no one was more surprised than he, when the bank directors tendered him the position. He took several days to consider the offer, and received so much encouragement from the business men and friends that he finally decided to accept. The real estate and insurance firm of Hirschy & Winteregg will be dissolved, and Mr. Hirschy will carry on the business alone. He also bought the Insurance business of Foreman & Wechter and will have the field practically alone. His daughter, Miss Gertrude, will assist him in the office. Mr. Hirschy has been in the insurance business since the early '9os of last century, and Is very capable. The Decatur Masons were in charge of the funeral services for the late William Baughman, ex-county recorder, which was held this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from the Methodist church. The body was brought to this city this afternoon at 1:11 o’clock over the G. R. & I. railroad, from Fort Wayne, where his death occurred. A Masonic escort, comprising R. D. Myers, John Stoneburner, Frank Parrish, Jerry Evans and Charles Dunn, went to Fort Wayne this morning to accompany the party here. The Decatur lodge in a body met the cortege at the train and the body was taken at once j to the Methodist church, where tlio Rev. R. L. Semans and the Fort Wayne minister officiated, the Masonic lodge also having its ritualistic work. Pall bearers selected from the Masons were: Joe Beery, Cal Peterson, Will Winnes, Arthur Suttles, Jerry Evans and Frank Parrish. Burial took place in the Decatur cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends of the deceased, who was for many years a prominent man of the county, attended the services. The committee on resolutions, appointed by the Masons Friday evening at a special meeting includes P. L. Andrews, D. E. Smith and Judge Merryman. , Because his bachelor brother-in-law, | George Barnett, did not give him an advance story of the affair John Stoneburner, whose suspicions have been aroused that Mr. Barnett’s trip Is in the nature of a matrimonial adventure, is giving the newspaper the story of the case. Mr. Barnett left Friday afterno'on over the Erie east, for a point near Rochester, N. Y., and it is quite certain that he went to call on a fair i lady friend, Emily Eaton. Whether he will return with a bride is not known, but it is thought quite probable. Mr. Barnett visited Friday afternoon with his brother-in-law, John Stoneburner, but not a hint of the intended trip was given at that time. Mr. Stoneburner found out later that after leaving his house, Mr. Barnett circled about to Monroe street, thence to the clothier’s, where he donned a brand new outfit, including a very fine suit, fine shoes and other accessories, and then went post haste to thetrain to get away before his unsuspecting' relatives could surmise. Mr. Barnett met the lady about a year and a half ago and Mr. Stoneburner emphasized the point that It was a case of love .at first sight. He thinks it quite probl able that Mr. Barnett will not return home alone. — Collierville, Tenn., Feb. 22 —1 Special to Daily Democrat.)—Governor Hooper was asked today to send troops to this city because of a race war is feared as the result of a roit which occurred last night and in which two negroes were killed and four white officers were wonded, one perhaps fatally.

to leave the city. New York, Feb. 22—(Special to Daily Democrat)—lt is believed today that the reason for the sudden doubling of the secret service men around the home of President-elect Wilson a week ago was caused by the receipt of threatening letters from a giant New Jersey trapper, Foley Davenport who was in jail in Hoboken last night after the federal officers had had a fierce straggle to capture him in his enmp in the back woods. Davenport was one of the three men arrested last December charged with sending threatening letters to Wilson. He 1 was not intended then but letters said to have been written since are saad to have caused his arrest yesterday. j Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 22—(Special to Daily Democrat.)— Representative , John J. Keegan, union machinist and member of the assembly, returned to his seat today after having with drawn his resignation which he had hastily sent to Governor Ralston when the [ Keegan eight hour bill for women was amended to ten hours. The action of the house in passing a nine hour bill j with a fifty hour limit was given by Keegan as a satisfactory compromise and sufficent reason for his returning. SMALL POX CASE.

Snyder, pastor of the Magley German Reformed church, is quite ill. Six years ago he was operated upon for some kind of kidney trouble. This has again caused him inconvenience, pus sacs forming which required lancing yesterday.
