One of the most disastrous and costly fires experienced In the history of the city since 1903 when the Big store on the corner of Madison and Second Street was destroyed, occurred Wednesday night at 11:50 o'clock when ths large luWUU foot Uwu owned by J. W. Vail, located at the corner of Jefferson and Seventh streets, was totally destroyed, entailing a loss of approximately 38,000. The Are was first discovered by Charles Ault, night watchman at the Adams heading factory, who immediately sounded the i alarm on the factory whistle. The origin of the fire is thought to have ‘ been in the hay-mow, which at the time was nearly full of hay, and in a, very few seconds after being discov ' ered the entire roof of the large build- ' Ing was a mass of flames. Several j men were in the street at the time and : an automobile party was also passing the building. However, the flames had gained such headway and large propor-! tions that it was imposible to get into the building to rescue any of the live ; stock or contents and the men were forced to busy themselves saving the ( adjoining buildings. It seems that no one thought of turning in the fire alarm until about fifteen minutes after the fire had been discovered and the fire ; department was then on its wav to th? • scene. • Horses and Mules Burned. The building was occupied jointly by the S. H. Adams Heading company and the Decatur Hoop company, and used for the purpose of keeping their . horses and mules stabled there, the Ad ims Heading company having; twelve head of mules and four horses, | while the Decatur Hoop company was the owner of five head of horses, the ; entire stock of each company being'' burned to death. The most pitiable 1 and horrible scenes were enacted ' wh’le the animals, crazed by the fire ’ and smoke, broke loose from their ■ stalls and rushed madly from one end , of the long building to the other, kick- | ; ing, biting and jumping over each oth-1 !

er, uo assistance of any nature being able to be given to them on account of the fierce heat and because it would have meant death to any man to have forced himself into the midse of the frantic, struggling animals. All the windows and doors had been opened, and they would thrust, their heads out, get a breath of air and rush back into the smoke and flames with the hair on their bodies scorched and in flames, making the most pitiable noise with their groans and moans of fright and pain. Only one horse of the twentv- | two animals confined there was rescued. This horse belonged to WHliatn Foreman and was stabled in a shed [used in connection with the barn. Buildings Saved. A small barn belonging to Harve : Rice and across the alley from the large barn, was also destroyed, and It ■ was alone due to the praiseworthy and heroic action of the city firemen and ■ volunteers that the flamee were confined to these buildings. Fortunately no wind was blowing, which added greatly in the work of keeping the flames confined. Otherwise the Decatur Filler company, located twenty feet south of the barn, and the large barn of the Schafer Hardware company, located directly opposite on the east ' side of the alley, would have been de- | stroyed despite the strenuous efforts of the firemen. The heat from the burning building was so great that shingles on the residences within 100 feet of the building were warped and the paint scorched, and volunteers were barely able to maintain a bucket (brigade. Sparks were thrown high lu the air and carried for blocks over 1 the city. Had the flames secured a 1 hold on the large factory buildings, tn which is stored excelsior and paper, and which is a veritable "match bax." ’ lit would have undoubtedly devastated the entire block of residences. Estimated Loss. In an interview with Mr. Reid, manager of the Adams Heading companv, he stated that he had been offered a price of over SSOO for one of the teams of horses Wednesday, and only a short time before had refused S7OO for a team of mules. He also stated that the loss to the company would reach approximately $5,000, on which was carried a limited amount of insurance. The loss to the Decatur Hoop company, as stated by J. W. Vail, would amount to $3,000, including the building and stock, and carried insurance on same to the amount of $1,500. The fire will not interfere with the work- 1 ings of either company as arrangements are now under way for the securing of more teams to carry on the work. Adjuster Stoner of the Aetna Fire Insurance company, for which Gallogley and Johnson are the local agents, was here today adjusting losses occasioned by the burning of two houses insured in this company. One was on the second house of Mrs. Lucy Grego-y in Flue Creek township. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago, the house on her farm occupied by Wesley Lawson was burned to the ground. Nearby was another house, usually tenanted by the poor, which happened to be vacant ther, and the Lawson family driven from the regular farm house on Mrs. Gregory’s place took shelter there until the old farm house could be restored. Tuesday of last week, this house also caught fire and was burned to the ground. The fire originated from some corn fodder which a man was burning across the road. The Lawsons escaped, but Mrs. Lawson, overcome with the shock and excitement lover their double loss, fainted. Their 1 household goods was gotten out, but some meat and other things in the | second story of the house were lost 'insurance on the house was carried lin the sum of $450, but this will not ’cover the loss. Workmen are already ' oh the scene of the regular farmhouse, rebuilding it The other loss to be adjusted by Mr Stoner will be that of Frank Carier, whose house was totally consumd a few weeks ago. He carried S2OO on the house and S3OO on the contents. The remonstrance campaign in the First and Third wards is drawing to a close and much Interest is being t own as to the results. A month ago 1 he saloons were remonstrated out of he Second ward and applications were then filed for the First and Third wards. Immediately the anti-saloon orces got busy on the two wards and or weeks the work of securing signers :.o power of attorney cards has been .joing on steadily. While it has been a quiet campaign it has been an insistent one and today no one seems ■eal certain of the result The antis feel certain that they have a safe majority which assures the prevention of saloons in the First ward and the 'wets" do not dispute that statement, in the Third ward, however, there is no certainty as to the final outcome from what can be gleaned. To begin with that ward at the recent election -»ve a "wet" majority of about sixty. However, there were cast at that time '97 “dry” votes, which is exactly the number needed to carry the rernon-

; strance which action is based on the t vote at the city election of four years J ago. When the fight was on tn the b ' Second ward the “wets" did not bes i lleve it possible that enough remonb strators could be secured and not a 1, 'single withdrawal was filed, but in the , Third ward it is said they have been 9,busy and have obtained quite a numr ber of withdrawals, which will be filed 1, some time before midnight tonight. 1 The remonstrance must be filed before 1 midnight tomorrow night. After the • withdrawals are filed today the ant;s • 'will of course know just where they I stand or whether or not It would do ! any good to file the remonstrance. R. iC. Minton, the state attorney for the I anti-sallon forces, arrived this morn- ? 'lng and Is assisting in the closing of s' the fight. II Attorney Minton went to Hoagland I this afternoon to help straighten out [ I some “wet" and "dry” matters there. ] - When Mrs. Stanley, state vice presi-! ' dent of the W. C. T. U., was here last j I week, she gave a little hint of the sit- j > uation in Hoagland, when she stated - in her lecture that the temperance ‘ t forces there were concerned over the 1 outcome if Decatur went dry. The | ■ dry forces at Hoagland will anticipate : a wholesale bringing in of the “scum” | • of Decatur, to quench their thirsts at 1 the Hbagland fountain she 1 said and she stated that ■ . the forces there would do all they could to get rid of te saloon there. A!' petition is being circulated there at 1 present, and Mr. Minton’s visit there -: is for the purpose of straightening out !i some point relative to the eligibility p of signers. < 1 Mr. Minton came here from Winnamac, where he has been on official ' business. At that place the drys filed 1 •a remonstrance against the issuing of 1 liquor licenses. The “wets" then filed ’ a petition for an election. This matter was carried to the circuit court. 1 and the decision was in favor of the remonstrators —that the election could J not be held after the remonstrance. — c FIRST RED MAIL WAGON. Martin Jaberg First to Comply With New Regulation. g Martin Jaberg is the first one of the t Decatur rural carriers to comply with the new regu’ation, that of painting 8 the mail wagons red. That is, he gets all the benefits of the painting, but was spared the disagreeable duty of d so doing. Mr. Jaberg has a two-wheel-ed cart —or sulky—which he drives I when the roads are bad. This was left standing in front of bls house in 3 the north part of the. city. Last night, some faithful creature, and very obliging, appeared on the scene with his 1 red paint bucket and gave the cart a t plentiful coat The job was not a very I artistic one, however, and the same s can be said of it as of many a picture 1 —it is a mere daub. The perpetrator t Is unknown. Rural Mail Carrier t Clyde Rice is conversant with the de- i tails and may be able to help run down ( the miscreants. 1 o 1 Roy Wolford, rural mail carrier out of thia city, is telling a “big one" —al- < leged to be the first fish story of the season, say his fellow carriers. Roy ( says he went fishing in the St Mary s river near the old "Gray Gables” summer resort at Monmouth. He hooked a four-foot fish, weighing some twenty pounds, more or less. Os course the i fish ran Mr. Wolford a merry chase, and he (Mr. Wolford) had him (the fish) —and we might say vice versa—worn out. Just as the fish was ready to give in and Roy had it about landed, it got away, Roy jumped in the river after the fish, and as it was about worn out had no difficulty in getting it into his arms. He finally I got into sudh deep water that, his strength being exhausted, he had to let the fish go in order to save himself. This story is vouched for by Clyde Rice, who heard it directly from Mr. Wolford. I The city this year has thirty-six more children of school age than It | had last year. This is the result j , shown by the official report of the I k school enumerators checked up care- > fully last evening by the city school' , j board, O. L. Vance, Fred Frnchte and I f Irvin Brandyberry, when they met at; 3 the Fruchte office. This means that' j the city school funds will be enriched , ■ so much the more from the coffers of' j the state school funds, which are dis-. 5 tributed per capita among the town-' ! ships and school corporations. 1 The total number of children tn the .. city of school age this year is 1284. Os B this number 665 are boys and 619 girls. s The total enumeration of last year was r 1248. a But two school enumerators took e the school census this year. The city L was divided as nearly into two equal s parts as possible, with Madison street e as the dividing line. Omer Butle-r, n took the census south of Madison tx street and L. C. Helm, north.

A. M. Adair recom-; mended Harry Hunter Tuesday for the appointment as postmaster at Os-, ’ sian. and Mr. Hunter will take charge , of the office as soon as the necessary i bond Is filed and other details ar-, ranged.- He succeeds Charles H. Bell, , whose commission for his last term of four years expired April 26th. Mr. Hunter recently disposed of his drug store at Ossian to get ready to take the postoffice. Mr. Bell has filled the Ossian postmastership In a highly satisfactory manner for twelve years, and the change at this time Is due to the change In administrations. The Ossian office pays a salary of $1,200 per year. A play will be given by the Monroe high school at the Monroe school house Saturday evening, May 3, 1913. The cast: Col.

The commencement of the Adams county schools will be held at Geneva (some time during the month of June, and the class address will be delivered Iby Hon. Thomas Kuhn, of Richmond, former candidate for governor, and well known speaker, preacher and poiijticlan. This was decided upon this morning at the annual meeting of the county board of education held at the 'offices of County Superintendent OpI liger Those present were Trustees ' Fleming, Houck, butler, Suman, Wechjter, Mosure, Cowan, Thornhill, Kelly, Sprunger of Beme and Relcheldeffer ' 'of Geneva all being present except Mr. , Beers of Monroe, who is ill; O. L. 1 Vance of this city and Mr. Hoffman of Preble. The members have each filed ’ their report of the enumeration of school children, but it will not be an--1 nounced until totaled up the first of - the week. However, Mr. Opliger says ’. he feels sure that the report vtfll show 1 a healthy and general increase. The board further resolved that the county institute fee shall be $1.25, a , reduction of 25 cents, made because they do not have to furnish funds for the teachers’ association. It was also

1 resolved that agriculture be taught in the eighth grade and first year high school, as has been the practice for I several years and that applicants for ■ graduation be required to pass a cred- • (table examination on this subject, the same as any other. Resolved, that teachers be required to take an exam1 (nation on the subjects of music and agriculture and that the county superintendent shall count the grades made In these subjects if said grades will increase the average scholarship of teacher. Resolved, that Morris’ primary history of the United States, and Bourne and Benton’s introductory American history be adopted for use in the fifth and sixth grades respectively to replace Moyry’s first steps in the history of our country," for the reason that the latter is considered too j difficult The history course as now ; planned will gradually lead the child I from the beginning up to the present time. The auditing committee, J. A. Flein- ’ Ing, O. J. Suman and J. W’. Cowan, auj dited the report of the county superin-1 , tendent to the the county institute fund - 1 reported as follows: Total received , during 1912, $397.50; disbursed, $311.10; balance on hands, $86.40. The board will meet next Monday to elect an attendance officer, who will take the place of the truant and probation officers after August 1, as provided under the acts of 1913. — Buffalo. N.

Neighbors who knew the family state that her family life seemed to be happy. The funeral will be held at Lincoln near Logansport. Mr. and Mrs. Turnpagh moved to Wells county in March, 1912, and settled on the old Sei Baker farm on the Decatur road, northeast of Bluffton, one and one-half miles 'east of the Toll Gate school house. They had been married only a short time beforethey went there. Mr. Turnpeugh was a widower when he married his late wife and he has four boys.

Peeping forth above the collars of several well ■ I known young gentlemen and nestling 1 snugly under their swollen chops, was 1 ! seen a several strand necklace of , bright and vari-colored woolen yams, something like an abbreviated knit ' scarf the fine gentlemen of old used to wear. Upon Inquiry, the information I was volunteered that the same was •placed there by a Decatur barber, who, stated that the yarn necklace would j serve as a sort of fence or barrier j across which the mumps would not [dare go.
