Roynolds. It will be seen for the first, time In this city at the Bosse opera | house, Friday, April 18. It tells a beautiful story of the Ozark mountains, a story that holds the auditor by its thrills from the beginning to the end. It is unique in characterdrawing, giving to the stage a somewhat new atmosphere. The beauty | of the Ozark mountain region lends itself to some very effective stage pictures, and Gaskill ansj/MacVitty, the | producers, are said to have given the ■ play an exceptionally beautiful I mounting. WHO IS MRS .MOYER? Who is the Mrs. Andy Moyer, from this city who has entered the Fort] Wayne hospital, assording to the Fort I Wayne News for an operation on the ( heart? Decatur relatives of the Mrs. j Andy Moyer, who recently moved from this city to Fort Wayne, and who was formerly Miss May Meyers, ask that ( we make the statement that the lady at the hospital is not this Mrs. Moyer. Decatur people met members of her family in Fort Wayne last Saturday and all -were quite well at that time. Nor is the lady Mrs. Albert Moyer of; this city, as it was thought at first the name might have been confounded ( with that of "Andy” Moyer. o— . daily census report. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey j Koos, east of the city, was gladdened , by the birth of a fine boy this mornIng. This is their first born. Mrs. Koos was formerly Miss Gladys Steele, and is a daughter of Jesse Steele. — WANTED —Linn (basswood), cottonwood, willow and poplar bolts, four Inches in diameter or larger; standing timber or cut and ricked, any-where.--Johnson-Smith Excelsior Co., Indianapolis, Ind.

The Jubilee Year (Continued from Page 1) during the preceding part of the Evening. She spoke of their stability, and the fact that when they settle a point "it remains put” without worry and flurry. In response to the toast, "Our Husbands,” J. N. Fristoe had a part cf te program, "Our Wives.” He spent fifteen minutes thanking the committee for placing him on the program and then gave a vivid description of “the limpid lightning, limping across Lake Willard at Steele's park and (leaning up against one of the ice ■houses of the Toledo Brewing Co.” He described a trip to Linn Grove and kept the guests in an uproar for many minutes, and the beauty of his monologue was that it could be used just as well In a tariff discussion as in a toast to "Our Wives." It was in the nature of reminiscences and as much of the "reminiscing” included persons present, the speech made them all feel very much “at homq,” Miss Nellie Blackburn’s toast, “Our Guests,” was short, but to the point, and echoed the club's welcome In general. 'Miss Bess Congleton gave the response in which she spoke of this club and its work, and of clubs in general. She mentioned the great club idea and how they are developing from the self-culture alone, into the community-culture club, and the great good they are doing in the helping of mankind in general. The dinner was yery nicely served by the Misses Reba Quinn, Lillian Rice, Florence Myers, Winifred Burk and Mary Moses, the menu being as follows: Fruit Salad Wafers Creamed Chicken in Pastry Cups Meat Loaf Escalloped Potatoes Deviled Eggs Vegetable Salad Rolls Butter Jellies Preserves ■ Coffee Ice Cream Cake The ice cream and cake prettily car- , ried out the club colors of pink and white. An Informal mingling of ten minutes preceded a very good program in which Miss Rose Smith gave two fine piano solos, and Dr. and Mrs. P. B. Thomas gave a vocal duet, responding to an encore with a humorous song. And then a very delightful surprise came. Mrs. Jennie Furman of Marion, an honorary member of the club, who had arrived, unannounced to the greater number of the club members, descended the stairway in the costume of her old role, "Josiah Allen’s wife,” and took the guests with her on a pleasant trip to Cuba. Mrs. Furman had just returned from a trip to Havanna and gave many interesting and amusing experiences in that country of the south. The story was told in her characteristic way and was quite the hit of the evening. The club has the following membership: Active Members —Mesdames Jane A. Crabbs, Helen Blossom, Adaiine Blackburn, Mary Congleton, Kannie Fristoe, Nanniie Miller, Nettie Schrock, Fannie Peterson, Sadie Gilllg, Flora Trout, Sadie Schafer, Ida I Beavers, Kathryn Coverdale, Sarah Fristoe, Nannie Miller, Nettle berg, Maggie Moses, Anna Vance, Orpha Erwin, Garnet Sutton, Mary Eley, Miss Nellie Blackburn.

They were given trial this morning before ’Squire Stone and were found guilty on the charge of public intoxication and fined $1 and costs, amounting to $9.80. As is usual in such cases they were “broke,” therefore they will be the ' guests of Sheriff Durkin for ten days. REV. GOOD ESCAPES FLOODS. The Rev. S. Good, pastor of the Beery church, west of the city, who is a resident of Dayton, Ohio, escaped death from the floods, but had a most harrowing experience, which he relat- | ed when he came Sunday to conduct [his regular services west of the city. I For several days and nights, with a inumber of other persons, he existed in the attic of a home, the floor of which was made of only a few loose boards, the water having driven them up to the topmost story.
