Berne will be here in the near future to inaugurate the contest and much Interest it is thought will develop from this. A solo by Miss Kathryn FTgly of Berne was well received. At 3:30 Mra. Stanley gave a good talk on “Scientific Temperance" to the school children, who attended. Fol-1 lowing the noon- day plan the ladies had supper at the church, and the ev- . ening session was taken up with great Interest. The attendance was large and many came down from Berne by automobile for this session. The music by the Berne ladies’ chorus of sixteen voices was very fine and was a special feature of the evening’s program. They were forced to respond to many encores. Miss Jean Lutz also gave two pipe organ solos, which were pleasingly rendered. Mra. L. W. Love gave a very earnest prayer In behalf of the work, and then, after introduction by the president ofthe local union, Mrs. John Niblick, who presided, Mrs. Stanley gave the evening address on "The Emancipation of the Twentieth Century.” Mrs. Stanley has a splendid voice and her address came from a rich storehouse of her own , personal knowledge. She urged equal suffrage rights for women. The ques tion was thoroughly discussed much to the profit and Interest of the large audience. During the afternoon many new members were secured for the union, and several men, by their contribution to the cause, became honorary members at the evening session. Rev. Stephenson, the new M. E. pastor, pronounced the benediction. With the first signs of spring and the with the ground rapidly becoming in , condition to work up nicely, the sugar ( beet workers, whose assistance has ( been contracted for during the winter months by Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Wag-, Per of the local office, are beginning to arrive. These workers have been secured from Chicago, Loraine, Ohio. Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Wayne, St. Louis, Mo., and other cities, and are especially selected and carefully picked families of the best foreign type, the greatest of care being taken to se-, cure only the best workers. Any fanner who is contemplating raising beets this season and has not secured his help should apply at the office Im-1 mediately. Early planting is being ( greatly urged by the experienced men ( at the head of the industry and the best yield of beets, showing the highest percentage of sugar will go to the

I man that follows the advice of the men who have made a life study of the sugar beet Industry, so when thev advise early planting, get to It immediately, and don’t lot anything else stand in the way.

of appeals, which li In session In that ! city. Prosecuting Attorney Clark Good and his assistant, H. L. Conn, were also present at the hearing to look after the interests of the state. “At the conclusion of the argument the court held that it had always been the practice of that body to grant such appeals and that they saw i no reason why they should deviate from their usual custom, and ac- i cordlngly granted a stay of execution, ! pending the hearing of a motion for a I new trial on Its merits. < “The costs In the case will amount up to a stupendous total .and the end is not yet In sight, but it Is believed i that it will be In excess of $12,000; the i costs In the case for the state, so far, < total $4,013.74, “Os the above amount $1,528.07 , will be returned to the county by the state when the prisoner is delivered at the penitentiary, leaving the net amount to be paid by the county at this time $2,485.07, That the eighth annual convention of the Northeastern Indiana Volunteer Firemen’s association, to be held in this city June 26, will excel in point of entertainment as well as in attendance, any of the seven which have preceded it, was the prediction of the executive committee and President IC. F. Rogge, of Fort Wayne, at the meeting held Sunday afternoon at the city hall here. Plans were fully discussed and the general program agreed upon. Reports from Union City, Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Dunkirk, Hartford City and other places were that they were coming in large numbers, with bands and drum corps, ready to make the city ring with good natured noise and to have the good time that has been promised them by the Decatur company. Mayor Teeple attended the meeting Sunday and told the firemen that he would do everything he could do to jshow the visitors that this city appreciated the importance of the occasion. He will favor the adoption of a resolution by the council turning the streets .over to the firemen for the day. It Is 'believed the council will adopt a resolution carrying with it a liberal donation for the day’s expenses and they will then retain the cash paid in for license money. Mayor Teeple will deliver the address of welcome to the visitors at the morning session. The work of advertising the occasion will begin in earnest soon now. The committee has purchased large lithographs and other printed matter and will soon begin the systematic distribution of same, making all the cities and towns in this section.

Tickets are selling well for the Eu- , terpean concert to be given at the Kmghts of Pythias Home, May 6, by > the Baible Trio of Fort Wayne. The Indianapolis Star says of this Trio of' famous musicians: “The evening con-1; cert was given by the Baihle Trio and I Nevada van der Vear, contralto, of ; New York. This concert was one of , the most classical of all the programs i and Its educational value from a must- I cal standpoint will bo far reaching. I The Trio plays with a wonderfully accurate ensemble and their work dis- i plays as intellectual comprehension . of their subject which is not exceed-1 ed by many famous organisations of its kind." ——— — V. D. BELL BRINGS SUIT. e- ■ A new case filed in circuit court is entitled Vincent D. Bell against Amos T. Mollenhour and his wife, Mary A. Mollenhour, and Elmer Klopfenstein, with Orval Roberts, holder of a second mortgage, also named as a , defendant. The action is one in which Mr. Bell seeks foreclosure of a mortgage of $1,500 against the defendants named. He recites that on April 18, 1912, Amos T. Millenhour executed to him a mortgage of $1,500 covering certain property in the town of Craigville, and that later Mollenhour sold this property and it figured in other deals until it came into the possession of Elmer Klopfenstine, now in possession. Mr. Bell alleges that the mortgage is due and unpaid and in his foreclosure he makes demand for SI,BOO. F. W. Gordon is his attorney. The property on which the mortgage is held by Mr. Bell is the old Frank Hower grocery and it has changed hands several times in the past year. A Mr. Adair owned it before Mr. Klopfenstine became owner. —Bluffton News. Johanna Christena Bittner, widow of Charles H. Bittner, passed awry Sunday morning at 2 o’clock at the home of her son, August Bittner, 615 Organ avenue, Fort Wayne. She had been ill four months of cancer of the bowels, and for the past several weeks had been critically ill. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Goldner, of Preble was called to her bedside Friday by a message that her death was imminent. Mrs. Bittner was eighty-six years, nine months and three days of age. She was born in Saxony, Germany, but came to this country in 1865, to live. She resided in Union township, this county, until last May, when she went to Fort Wayne to live with her son. She leaves six children. The funeral will be held in Fort Wayne Tuesday morning at 11:15. The body will be taken to Union township, this county, where services will be held at the Emmanuel Lutheran church by the Rev. G. Bauer. a Tax paying time for the spring installment of 1913 will be at an end next Monday, May 5. This is just one week from today. After that date, taxes not paid become delinquent and ten per cent penalty is added. As thetime grows shorter, the force at the county treasurer's office becomes busier, and to help relieve the congestion, Ed Kintz has been secured to assist Treasurer C. Y. Yager and his deputy, Bernard Terveer. Payments up to this time have been quite brisk, but many more can be taken care of. Checks are beginning to arrive in payment of the various corporation taxes, but none of the railroads have yet “come across.” The heaviest check received was that of the Indiana Pipe Line company which paid $9,420. This is for the spring installment only, an equal sum being due in the fall. c— A suit long-looked for by Court Clerk Ferdinand Bleeke was filed against him and his bondsmen this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock by George and John Mock, surviving partners of the law firm of Mock & Sons of Bluffton. The suit is only a friendly one to determine how the $2,000 judgment given the Faylor heirs in their suit against D. E. Studabaker, shall i be divided so that all of the three attorney firms shall get their $6,000 ■ liens. They ask $600.60 judgment. 1 It will be remembered that the firm ' • of Simons & Dailey, Sturgis & Stein and Mock & Mock each held liens of $2,000 against the Faylor heirs’ judg-' ment. The judgment and interest,; amounting to $2,402.40 was paid March 10 to Clerk Bleeke. Prior to this Mock & Mock had requested that " — -r

he not pay the judgment to anyone except themselves, as they bad a Hen of $2,000 on one-fourth, the interest of Thomas Faylot. A short time afterwards, Sturgis & Stein and Simons & Dailey came for the judgment, and Mr. Bleeke paid over all to them, each of them having a Hen of $2,000 also. To protect himself Mr. Bleeke had them give him an indemnity bond of $3,000 in which they agree to pay all 'expenses, costs and damages that ' might arise from the attempt of Mock [& Mock to collect their share of the Hen. The suit brought today is the one anticipated, and Mr. Bleeke will simply file his cross-complaint, making the Bluffton indemnity bondsmen I parties to the suit and shift the mat ter entirely over onto them. Clerk ' i Bleeke and his bondsmen will be clear of the whole matter. Mock & I Mock demand the $600.60, which is the one-fourth of the judgment and interest due their client, Thomas Faylor, but which does not cover their $2,000 Hen. The entire sum paid to Mr. Bleeke was $2,828.75, of which $2,402.40 was on the judgment and interest, the rest being applied to costs. Judge J. T. Merryman, Deputy Clerk L. L. Baumgartner and others are at Bluffton today, attending the trial of the Claus-Ehrsam case, venued to Wells county, from the Adams circuit court. Although a suit for divorce is pending in the Adams circuit court against Rose Winters, brought by Clarence Winters, Mrs. Winters has taken the affair in her own hands and has brought a suit for divorce against her husband. The case was filed in the Allen circuit She alleges failure to provide. Thomas & Townsend filed the suit • Lutz and Adams have filed suit entitled Frank M. Schirmeyer, trustee, vs. John F. Lachot, on contract, $71.50. Minnie P. Orvis filed final report as administratrix of the estate of her late mother, Harriet McMillen, which was approved. She was ordered to distribute one-third to the administratrix of the estate of W. W. P. McMillen and two-thirds to Minnesota Orvis and to assign and transfer to su?h distributees the unsold stock held by decedent in J. F. Bowen Co. and report such distribution and assignment to the court. W. A. Wells qualified as administrator of the Mary A. Wilson estate. He gave S6OO bond. Jos. S. Wilson, her eldest son, waived right of administration and requested Mr. Wells' appointment. Mrs. Wilson’s death occurred April 13. Real estate transfers: Etta Acker Roop et al. to Rebecca Jackson, lot 7, Rivarre, $4000; Rebecca Jackson to Samuel A. Roop, lot 7, Rivarre, $4000; Adam Hower et al. to Harvey H. Lammiman, 40 acres, Washington tp., $4,900; Edward L. Arnold et al. to Adam Hower et al, realty in St. Mary’s tp, SSOOO. The opening date of the forthcoming chautauqua in this city will be July 10. All is activity just now at the headquarters of the Redpath , Chautauquas in Chicago in prepara- ' tion for the chautauqua which is to , [be held here and at many other points [on the great chautauqua chain of 1913. I The large and highly illustrated programs are now being printed by the hundreds of thousands. When opened the inside of this program [ shows two great pillars supporting an ' arch about a stage. The great pro- ' gram with its band of thirty pieces, ' its Ben Greet Players, and many oth- , er attractions, is then pictured within the frame. At one of Chicago’s largest lithographing plants immense bill board ' posters are being made showing a typical chautauqua tent and the crowds and autos about the grounds. These posters will be in several colors and altogether most attractive | and most inspiring. | Chautauqua blotters are being printed in great quantities for distribution among school children and thousands of yards of canvas are going into banners to hang across the streets and others for awnings. i There is a busy hum of typewriters all over the sixth floor of the Cable , ; building, Chicago, turning out adver- ' tislng matter, corresponding with 10-1 cal committees and advance men, and the chautauqua spirit is beginning to . be abroad In the land for another big and successful season. The winter quarters of all the equipment of the Redpath Chautauquas, such as the big tents, seats, etc, is at Goshen, Ind. On Saturday, April 12, the work of unpacking this vast amount of canvas and other equipment was begun. o < The German Reformed church Sunday took a special offering for the flood sufferers at Dayton, Ohio, raising the sum of seventy dollars in this way.

two German Reformed churches in Dayton, which suffered heavily from the floods. The services were well at-! tended and excellent sermons were delivered by the Rev. Hessert. Next Thursday is Ascension Day,, which is observed by the Christian < churches of the world as the anniversary of the ascension of the Christ into heaven. The German Reformed church will have German services at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, and oth-. er churches will observe it in their customary ways. Next Sunday will be the annual congregational meeting of the German Reformed church. Rev. D. K.

Burk family. The church expects to select a permanent pastor soon, but the new one has not yet been determined. Rev. and Mrs. Huber left this morning for Brookston. — —— —t* — The bans of matrimony were published for the first time Sunday in the St Mary’s church, between Miss Kathryn Kriegel of Celina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Kriegel, and Mr. Charles Lose of this city, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lose. The wedding will take place on Thursday, May 15, at the Catholic church at Celina, from w’hich place the newly married couple will leave on a honeymoon trip through different cities of interest before returning to Decatur, where they will make their home, as Mr. Lose has already got his home fixed up in an up-to-date and home-like manner in the south part of the city. Miss Kriegei has visited in this city on a number of occasions, it being on one of these visits that she I met her husband-to-be.

Decatur at least will see some good and interesting base ball games this ' summer. Such was the demonstration put up by the local Shamrock : team in their first game of the season Sunday afternoon, when they de|feated the Decatur Boosters at the loical park.. The score, 23 to 6, in fa■vor of the Shamrocks will prove this i fact to any one. The game was witnessed by 300 rooters and fans, all of whom left tho field remarking that Decatur had some base ball team, and that they were proud to have the Shamrocks represent them in the many battles to be fought between city and visiting teams. The grounds have been put in fairly good shape, but still a greater effort will be made to improve them, and by the time the talk of the towns is on “base ball dope," they will have everything in perfect condition, and the diamond will be kept red hot every Sunday with a fast game. The excellent pitching of Joe Johns for the Shamrocks was a feature of the game and it is without doubt that he will be able to stand to any of the visiting pitchers this summer. The long drives over the new fence by • Baxter, Engle, Buffenbarger and Ellis ■ were also features of the game. These i men were noted for their batting last ■ year and it looks as if they raise their ' average this year. s The Decatur Boosters put up a fine game, but they could not keep in line with the younger players, as a 1 few years ago they could not be beati en by any team within a radius of 100 i miles. . j The Shamrocks have a game sched- ; uled for next Sunday with the Fort Wayne Badgers at 2:30 o’clock. This is the team that defeated our bunch so badly at the beginning of last year’s season, but the Decatur boys will take their revenge on them this year. Everybody come. •, ' Mrs. Edward Wilson and daughter of Nappanee are visiting in the city with the J. D. Hale family.
