Is Now Discussed by the Soldiers' Committee. The next step toward the erection of the new Adams county soldiers’ monument, the contract for the building of which was let to the Wemhoff ■ Monumental Works, this week, by the county commissioners, will be the de- ' cision for the location of this on the i court house square. This has been ■ left to the soldiers’ monumental committeee and the order for the same t will be made by the county cotnmis- . sloners at their next session, upon • ■ recommendation of the committee. . The most favored place seems to be the middle of the plot west of the court house building. This has been 1 lined off and from present indications seems to be the most desirable. Should this be selected, two large trees now growing there will have to be removed. Suggestions were made 1 that this part of the court house s grounds be turned into a park, walks ! built and other improvements made. ■ When the street is paved, the side- : walk will be placed along the curb and the lot enlarged further. A point in favor of the selection of this place is that pupils from both the public and Catholic parochial schools, visitors at the library and K. of P. Home, and others, will have at all tim< s a good view of the memorial, which will bring a lesson of patriotism. t 0 .... . ..... COURT HOUSE NEWS. County Clerk Bleeke and his deputy, L. L. Baumgartner, have the dockets made up for the new term of court, beginning next Monday. There are twenty-six criminal cases, 132 civil cases, 175 guardianships, and about 100 estates, awaiting action of court. Several important criminal cases will probably come up during the April term. After the nine weeks' session, court will adjourn for the long summer vacation of three months. Applications for the admission of t hree insane persons from Adams county to Easthaven insane asylum are still pending. These are Adam Cully, who is in the jail here for sofekeeping; Miss Sarah Hirschy of MonI roe township, and Ed Fox. I FORD FOR SALE OR TRADE—At I Watson's garage.—C. A. Burdg, De I catnr, Ind. 59t

■|T:IE water stage St, Mary’s Rivver Only 4% Feet Above Normal ( Height of Six Feet. ’ HIGH WATER MARK r T ■■■■ Is Nineteen Feet—Present 1 Height is Little More Than Half That. i > City Engineer G. F. Kintz, local j r weather and water observer, took the measurement of the St. Mary's river ’ at noon today. It was thought by many that the steady rains of the past • several days would make a rapid rise 1 in the river, but Mr. Kintz’ measure at noon today showed the water only f 10% feet .which is only 4% feet higher ’ than the normal height of 6 feet. The ’ high water mark is 19 feet, although 1 the stage reached during the highest floods in March this year, was 23 feet. o "WHO’S WHO?’’ Many stop to lopk at the picture in the Callow & Rice window, marked, “Who's Who?” It takes only one 1 guess in naming the speaking likeness ' as that of Harry Daniel, the former - Decatur newspaper man.
