FERDINAND BLEEKE. Clerk. By L. L. Baumgartner, Deputy. D. E. Smi’h. Attorney for Plaintiff. 17t3 Sacremento, Cal., May 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The senate early today passed the amended Webb antialien land owning bill by a vote of 36 to 2. When passed today in the house it was conceded the business interests of California were preparing to use the referendum in hopes to delay operations of the law until 1915. Violent discussion marked the closing scenes after ten hours debate. Speeches declaring that the bill was a sham measure which did not accomplish the purpose introduced, were made. As it passed the senate the bill forbids aliens not eligible to citizenship to own land for agriculture or garden purposes but permits them to use land for residences or commercial purposes. The bill does not effect land already awned and held by aliens but carries the provision that no alien ineligable to citizenship may inherit the land. Washington, D. C., May 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —An administration bill to reform the bank and currency system will be introduced into the special session but will not be passed this summer and will be the feature of the winter session. This is President Wilson s program as was learned today. The idea in drawing up the bill now and waiting until next

winter to pass It was to give the country an opportunity to study and ■ critlze IL ' Paterson, N. J., May 3—(Special to Dally Democrat) The entire silk industry in northern New Jersey was paralyzed today following the sympathetic , strike of 10,000 workers in the mills In neighboring towns. London, May3—(Special to Daily Democrat)The freight depot and plat- , form at Bradford was destroyed by fire ■ 'today causing a loss of $500,000. “Votes ' for Women 1 ' literature was found scat- ■ tered about the place. A loss of $2,500 ! was suffered when the new wing of -1 the public school was destroyed under similar circumstances. { Washington, D. C„ May3—(Special 'to Daily Democrat)—The tariff discussion in the house reached its climax today on the wool schedule. President , Wilson's name was injected into the fray as the free wool is his pet sched-1 ule. Leader Underwood also came in as the butt of the minority attack ! when they demanded to know why ho j had changed front since introducing the wool bill a year ago. A handfull of democrats lead by Ashbrook of Ohio openly rebelled and declared the wool 1 bill would kill the sheep raising Indus- 1 try in many states. Port Au Prince, May 3—(Special tn Daily Democrat)President Auguste of Hayti died today following a short ill-I ness. CALLED BY FATHER S ILLNESS. Harvey Sark has been suffering 1 from a nose bleed which attacked him two days ago and has been giving I him great trouble ever since. The ■ hemorrhage became so bad Friday morning that he was obliged to go to a doctor’s office and have one nostril I ' plugged with cotton. There is a small ulcer against the partition between the ! nostrils and the bleeding comes from 1 this spot Mr. Sark has been suffer-| ing from a severe cold for several days. He was overheated when the : hemorrhage started and thinks that might have been the cause of the i bleeding. The bleeding stopped this | afternoon butleft his vevry weak — | Bluffton News. The above named is the father of Elmer Sark of this city, who was call- ■ ed to Bluffton last evening. A matter of much interest in school circles will be the election by the Ad-' lams county board of education of a I County attendance officer, next Monjday, who will take his office August 1. i This is a new office created by the last ’ I legislature and combines the work of I the truant officer and probation officer. The attendance officer shall be I under the county superintendent in | carrying out the provisions of the sta- • tute and shall be subject to removal | from office by the county board of edu-j {cation for inefficiency, incompetency ;or neglect of duty. To be eligible fo’ I : appointment for this office, the candi-, date shall have completed the eighth I grade of the state’s common schools or have an education equivalent thereto. Caleb Andrews, the present truant officer, will be a candidate for re-elect-ion and there will probably be several others. Attorney A. P. Beatty is the present probation officer. There will be something for every member of the Christian church in the great state convention to be held in I Indianapolis, May 12, 13, 14 and 15. i The entire field of Christian activitiesl is covered in the program, which Is oneof the best the state association has ever prepared Among the other things the first day will be a welcoming address by Governor Samuel M. Ralston, a convention sermon by Rev. W. J. Wright, of Franklin, the president's address by Joseph C. Todd, of Bloomington and I. N. McCash’s address on “American Missions." The second day is C. W. B. M. day with ; a program covering their immense field of activities. Then here are a' few of the third day’s subjects: ‘‘The j 1 Country Church,” “County Organizi- ' tion Plan and Purpose," "Ministerial ' Relief,” "The Missionary Budget and Weekly Offering for Missions," “Our ' College,” and “The Church and the State University.” Thursday, the last ' day, will offer the Sunday school and 1 Christian Endeavor program, with such subjects as "The Superintendent 1 With a Modern Vision," "The Children '| in the Church," "The Intermediate ’ I Boys and Their Teacher,” "The New 1 Crusade,” and "The New Knighthood.’’ The city of Indianapolis has sixteen Christian churches, the members, of 1 which expect to entertain in their ’ homes for lodging and breakfast, all registered delegates. Many banquets, receptions, etc., have been planned 1 for the visitors, including an automobile ride about the city. Several De- ’ catur Christian church members will ' doubtless attend the convention, i o . The Adams county Lutheran pastori al conference was an interesting one, i j held Friday in the First National bank : of this city. Attending were the fol- ; lowing ministers: Rev. Koch, Preble;

ußev. G. Bauer, Union township; Rev. Domseif, Root township; Rev. Preuss, ;Fr!edheim; Rev. Nees, of near Tocsin; Rev. Wehmeyer, Decatur. 11 Rev. Wehmeyer had the paper, | which was an exegesis on Colossians 11, 16-23. Others took part In the ! animated discussion and among other i things that came up in the conslderaition of this paper and topic was the temperance movement Other points discussed related to the Adams county i churches. Rev. Nees is pastor of the congregation erecting the new chureh ■ near Tocsin, for which Mann & Christen of this city have the contract. Rev. Nees said they expected to have the corner stone laying some time in June. Decatur is experiencing one of its greatest business building booms. Within a very short time—as soon as the work can be done—there will be i four new brick blocks. These will all I be located within the northeast corner jof Monroe and Second streets. The one has been mentioned before. This is a building to be erected by j t'harles Sether, adjoining the Gay, [Zwick & Myers building on the south. As soon as Julius Haugk completes 'the basement excavation for its walls, his large steam shovel will be secured by Jesse G. Niblick to enter at once upon the excavation for three more {buildings. Two of these will be adjoining the Sether building on the : south. These three buildings will ■ thus fill the entire vacant space now existing between the Winnes shoe ;store and the Gay, Zwick & Myers' store. The Niblick blocks will be i forty feet long and thirty-six feet wide. The third building will face cn : Monroe street and will take the place lof the wooden shack now existing between the Winnes store and the Henry Knapp hardware store. It will be I seventy by eighteen feet in dimensions. The buildings will be for rent, 'but no advance contract has yet been entered into for their lease. ■ -e -■ ■ I The Indianapolis News today contains the pictures of, and an interest- , ing article on the work of two Hoosier girls who, tiredfof city life and its , routine work, bought a farm near Ro-' (Chester and are finding health, happij ness, independence and fair financial ; returns. They are Carrie Blosser, a former Decatur young lady, a sister of Fred Blosser, who now lives here, .and Edna Stauffer. Prior to buying the farm ,the girls conducted a studio :in Rochester. They sold this last year and bought a small farm west of Rochester and began their life as "dubes" —so their friends called them, with only a bull dog puppy as a protector. They stocked up with a team of horses, a cow, some pigs, 250 high i class chickens, and farm implements. I When spring came the girls did their own plowing, cultivating and barvestjing. Twenty acres are to be put out in corn. While one girl held the plow handles the other led the horses. The | rows were as crooked as a dog's hind i leg, said the girls, but stated it wouldn’t matter when the ground was ! harrowed. The girls have named ‘their place “The Sandridge Poultry Farm,” and will make a specialty of raising Single Comb White Leghorn and Single Comb Black Minorca chickens. They will raise their own feed and do their own marketing of fowls and eggs. Everything on the farm, which is intended to be a moled, is done according to a fixed schedule. Netiehr expects to make a fortune out of the enterprise, but both girls believe they may attain a modest competence by their industry. After givi ing advice to the city woman to go to {the country they say to rural girls: “Stay on the farm and be healthful, happy and wise, even if you do not gain wealth.” Miss Blosser spent the greater part of her life in Decatur, being a graduate from the Decatur high school. CORONER’S INQUEST. Coroner D. D. Clark and Dr. J. M. I Miller were called to Pleasant Mills i Friday evening to hold an Inquest over Mrs. Daniel Troutner, formerly lof that place, whose death occurred ; Wednesday. Mrs. Troutner had been bedfast over two weeks, but being a believer in Christian Science, she would not allow a physician to be called to attend her, and she died without having any medical attention at all. In order that the funeral might be, held today It was necessary for the coroner to hold an inquest and state the cause of her death. Dr. Clark’s statement was that she died from pneumonia, as at first thought. FUNERAL PARTY RETURNS. — Ms. Belle Johnson Goes to Des Moines, lowa, for Visit. W. G. Kist and Mrs. Bertha Kist and . son returned early this morning from Bristol, Elkhart county, where they accompanied the body of their grand{mother, Mrs. Mary Garrison, whose ' death occurred here Tuesday noon. The funeral party left here Thursday morning for Bristol, and on arrival 1 there found all arrangements made for a funeral service in the Methodist

» church at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. A large number of the aged lady’s old acquaintances and friends made during her residence there attended the service, and with the relatives accompanied the body to its last resting place in the cemetery, where another ministerial service was held. The daughter, Mrs. Belle Johnson, of this city, accompanied her brother, W. F. Garrison, to his home in Des Moines, lowa, for a month's visit | "The Civic League of Adams County” is an active organization. At a meeting a week ago Monday, the body was organized with 100 charter members, and more are being added i from time to time. The purpose is { to put out the saloons, to keep them out and to enforce the laws. The body will meet the first Monday in each month and is open to all voters. The fee will be fifty cents a year. The next meeting will be next Monday evening at the Smith & Bell office. The committee declares the league's principles in the following: We the Citizens’ of Adams County, Indiana in order to promote the cardinal principles of good citizenship; to establish law and order; to uphold the hands of justice and sanction and sus- j tain the moral sentiment of the community for ourselves and our children do hereby bind ourselves together tor the purpose of accomplishing these ends: We believe in sobriety and order; in clean citizenship and peaceful homes. ' We recognize the freedom of religious thought and question no man's right to his belief in bis religion or in his creed. We recognize the freedom of suf-1 frage and wish to bind no man to sup-. port any political organization or any . man for any office whatsoever. We recognize the freedom of speech and press and ask their earnest co-op- j eration in the support of our principles. i We believe the saloons of Adams county are injurious to us morally, a detriment to us financially and not v fcrthy of the support of ourselves or our children. ' We believe in and support all business that brings happiness, comfort and pleasure to our citizens but condemn that business which brings poverty and misery to their homes. We believe in a man’s personal liberty, so long as that personal liberty does not injure his family or menace the public welfare. We do not believe in the monopoly of any business whereby a few are financially benefited to the detriment and injury of the great mass of common people and especially the monopoly of the saloon. I We pledge ourselves for the enforcement of all laws and especially to enforce the law regulating and prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors known as the "Blind Tiger Laws.” We are opposed to the suspended sentence where there has been a conviction for the illegal sale of intoxicating liquor. W’e pledge ourselves to use all our influence and all our power to rid Adams County of Saloons. For these reasons and upon these principles we wish to sustain our suffrage. We pledge ourselves to the support of the public good. j We pledge ourselves to inquire diligently upon what principles a candidate stands before he shall receive our suffrage. Upon these principles and for these reasons we wish to submit ourselves to the citizens of Adams County. C. L. WALTERS. JOS. D. BEERY. P. L. ANDREWS. IRVIN BRANDYBERRY. W. J. ARCHBOLD. HENRY KRICK. DANIEL SPRANG. -■■ ' — o SPARKS CAUSE EXCITEMENT. Sparks froma bon fire, blown by the wind into a pile of empty banana crates full of straw, was the cause of much excitement at the interurban station this morning at 10:30 and caused the fire department to make a run. The crates were sitting along the edge of the sidewalk and for several minutes caused a merry blaze. Several pieces of farm machinery for Liechty Bros, of Monroe were standing jiext to the crates, and were badly scorched. Otherwise, outside of the loss of the crates, no other damage was done. » O ■■■' I At the annual congregational business meeting ot the German Reform:ed church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the election of the officers for the new year, resulted in the re-elec-{tion of the old staff in entirety, as follows: Elder, William Wetter; deacon, Fred Sellemeyer; trustee, Otto Reppert; treasurer, Peter Kirsch; secretary, Mat Kirsch. Mr. Kirsch has held the office of secretary of the congregation for twenty-six cuuseeutive years, and as secretary of the consistory, twenty years. ! Reports were then given by the treasurer and deacon, and show that the church is free from debt and has

’a balance in the treasury. Mat Kirsch as treasurer of the building fund for the local church, reported , showing that the fund is growing. The local church also has a jubilee fund of more than $509 for the proposed new mission house at Franklin, i Wis. The money hawever will not be {needed for the building until it is decided whether to build the college at the old site or another that has been : recommended. Until that time, the | local congregation has decided to pvt this money out on interest and then turn over the whole amount as the donation from the church instead of turning it over to the district treasuer, Rev. Kattmann. This matter was ; placed before the church yesterday by :the consistory and recommended by 'the congregation. The money was ■ turned over to Mr. Kirsch to place on .interest The Magley church will also do this. Several minor matters relating to books were also taken up, and the church decided in the coming year to use the simplex envelope system for their running expense funds. After the business was given attention the congregation was asked to remain while Rev. Hessert was requested to absent himself. A very agreeable surprise resulted to him, for a , unanimous vote increasing his salary ten dollars a month was taken. The surprise was a very agreeable one, but fully deserving by the pastor, who has been a tireless, conscientious worker here for many years. Everybody was in favor of the increase, and in fact some recommended that the raise be more. MARY TATE DOLLINS SUES. Asks Divorce—Had Planned to Open Beauty Parlors Here. I Mrs. Mary Tate Dollins of Portland, who had planned to open a beauty par(lor in this city, has brought suit for divorce from her husband. The Portland Sun says: "Suit for divorce and the custody of their three children was brought against John W. Dollins. Saturday forenoon in the circuit court, by his wife, Mary Tate Dollins. Charges of cruel and inhuman treatment and that he repeatedly threatened to kill and shoot the plaintiff are made against the defendant in the complaint which was filed through J. F. Denney, attorney for Mrs. Dollins. The couple were united in marriage on June 13, 1896, and according to the complaint, separated about five months ago. Mrs. Dollins says that aside from threatening her life her husband has charged her with the crime of adultery with other men, making the charges tn the presence ot their children and other persons. She | says also that be called her vile names. The false accusations, she. says, caused her much mental suffering, anguish and humiliation. The employment of detectivves to follow the plaintiff at times when she might be called away on business is charged, as is also the fact that Dollins, himself, followed his wife on many tripe. On Tuesday of this week the couple created considerable excitement at Richmond, where an officer had to be called to prevent further disturbances being carried on in public. The children, whose custody is asked by the mother, are: Olive, aged 16 years; Roland, aged 14, and Kenneth, aged 11 years." o ■ WILL GO TO CANADA. Earl Steele Here for Week’s Visit Before Leaving for North. Earl Steele arrived from Hammond, and after a week’s visit with his brother, George Steele, and his father, James Steele, will go to Canada, with a friend. He expects to go to Winnipeg, then on through the place where Carl Moees is, on up to Alberta. Mr. Steele spent a year in Canada before. Before returning home he expects to visit Oregon and other states in the far west. A Hammond paper says: "Friends of Earl Steele, employed at the Calument Loan company for over a year, were surprised to learn of his resignation this morning. After visiting at his home in Decatur, Ind., he will leave for Winnipeg, Canada, where he will locate. He gained a wide circle ot friends while in Hammond and they will regret bis leaving. Mr. Steele's position will be filled by D. C. Chaney, a former em- ' ployee of the company.” SOME RARE COCOONS Found by Willis Fonner on a Lilac Branch. There are cocoons and cocoons. But Willis Fonner has come forward with a new one. The cocoon was discovered by the children while on a visit at the Archie Colter home at Willshire, Ohio, yesterday. In fact there were two of them, little more than nn inch apart, tied to a branch on the lilac bush. They were like small, round black peppers, very hard, and when opened were filled with a cotton fibre, in the middle of which were tountless numbers of small eggs. The balls were fastened to the branch with a

•small thread-like strand that allowed I the cocoons to be turned about the < branch. They seem to be a rare spec- 1 I les to the lay mind, though an expert | 1 zoologist could no doubt easily idenU- I fy them. . O 11 11 - ■ 1 In a battle royal, and one that was honorable to win, the Decatur Sham- ' rocks defeated the Fort Wayne Badgers Sunday afternoon on the local;' {field by the score of 10 to 8. A crowd lof 600 spectators and fans witnessed I the game and every one had a good I word for the fine playing done by the • Decatur boys. The game started off with a victory in store for them, for < it was in the first inning when three men were on bases, and Captain "Curley” stepped up to the plate, and knocked a three-bagger. This started the ball rolling, and before the Inning was over the Shamrocks had six scores marked up on the board. The pitching of Joe Johns was another feature of the game, as was also the catching of Martin Ault, which showed that he was the man to be placed behind the bat hereafter. The Badgers’ pitcher, Schang, was "knocked" out of the box in the first inning. He was succeeded by Reese, who kept the Decatur boys from running away, as they had done before. A game is scheduled for next Sunday on the local field, when the boys will meet the Fort Wayne Senecas. This team defeated the Shamrocks two games last season, but they will have to put up a stronger fight next Sunday for the victory. "Jake" Hillinger umpired the game yesterday, and a contract was closed with him to umpire the remainder of the season. — The first Sunday in May, the day on which a class of twenty-four boys and girls, made their solemn communion, broke forth with al! the . beautlness that could be expected and filled the hearts of the little children with all the love for Him whom they were about to receive in a most pompous and solemn manner. The communion mass was held at 8:30 o’clock at the St. Mary's church and the communicants with their candle carriers, or angels as they are called, marched from the meeting room in the school house to the front of the church, and then down the middle aisle where thev were seated. The services consisted of the communicants renewing their birtismal vows made for them by th°ir godfathers and godmothers and their promise that they would remain forever fervent and devout members of the Catholic ehurch. Father Wilken delivered an excellent sermon on the duties of Catholics. He moved the people so much that a (number of those present were in tears I Much credit is due to Father Wilken .'for instructing and teaching the communion classes each year. The sacrament of confirmation will not be held this year. Those who made their solemn communion yesterday were: Misses Frances Shafer, Agnes Keller, Mary Brown, Beatrice Keller, Mary Meyer, Cecil Miller, Hilda Bosse, Victoria • Ullman, Anna Metzger, Agnes Hullinger, Mary Bernard, Sopha Rumschlag, Mary Alberdeen, Matilda Heiman; Masters Richard Delninger, Ed Rademacher, Elmo Ehfnger, Charley Starost, Theodore Bentz, Clarence Durkin, Leon Gass. John Gase, August Heimann, Anthony Spangler. Martin Thieme, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thieme, one of Union township’s prominent young farmers, claimed as his bride, Miss Emma Hockemeyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hockemeyer, one of Allen county's best young ladies. The wedding ceremony was a most impressive one and took place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the Flatrock Lutheran church, the minister of that congregation officiating. The bride was very pretty in a costume of pure white, complete with the long white wedding veil. A brother and sister of the bride and groom were the attendants. Fully three hundred guests were bidden to the wedding feast last evening at the Hockemeyer home and extended good wishes to the couple. A profusion of all the lovely spring blossoms were used in decorating the home and the wedding was one of the prettiest of the season. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. William i Zwick of Decatur. Mr. and Mrs. Thieme will live on a farm in Union township. Jessie, wife of Ray Slack, of Marion, died at her home in tha; tty at 10:15 o'clock Sunday morning from 1 consumption, of which she had been| ailing several months. Last winter , she had the measles, and suffered a ■relapse from which tuberculosis developed. She was thirty-three years of age. i Mrs. Slack was a former Decatur girl, being tno only child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sanders, who lived many i years here, prior to moving to Marion , several years ago. II She is survived by her parents, bus- { i band and many relatives, many of i whom eside in this county. Will
