LET THEM ALONE. It's Dangerous to Tamper With Mail Boxes. Every once in awhile we hear of some one tampering with a rural route box and we wish to impress the fact that its dangerous business. “ According to an act of congress any one maliaciously destroying a box or receptacle for rural mail, or opening the box or letters it contains will be fined not mt re than SI,OOO or imprisoned more than | three years or both. The majority .of people are not aware that the penalties for destroying rural mail boxes is greater than for destroying any private property and generally the work is done in a spirit of recklessness. The rural route boy is protected by fully as extreme penalties and the prosecution is as vigorous for vandals attacking it as the city mail box or a locked mail pouch. ’ ‘ Amusements. In announcing Mr. J. Louis Russel in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' among the list of attractions booked for the coming season, Manager Bosse has assured his patrons of a dramatic event of pleasing interest. The fact that for many years Mr. Mansfield retained “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" as the feature of his re-1 pertoire, is enough proof that this ■ piece well deserves the recognition accoreded it by the press and pub-| lie. A company of exceptional 1 ability will ably second the star and

the scenic appointments will be magnficent and complete. Do not fail to hear the Indian opera Powhatan on Thursday Dec. 3. Powhatan, Princes Pochontas, Laughing Star, Mr. Rolfe and Captain John Smith, in their work are of the best and the Pathfinder and medicine man will please and in terest you, while the fourteen little Indian boys are highly pleasing and the full chorus of sixteen ladies and twelve gentlemen are surely stars in their parts.

The Decatur Abstract and Loan Co. 257dtf TO SAVE A BIG INDUSTRY Plan Suggested to the Wabash Bridge Company’s Creditors. Wabash. Ind.. Nov. 30—A definite proposition has been submitted bj Sayre & Hunter, local attorneys interested in the bankruptcy proceedings against the Wabash Bridge and Iron company, to the creditors of that institution. They offer to the holders of c’aims aggregating about $300,000. $60,000 for the plant and machinery of the con cern. $15,000 of which is in cash and ’ the remainder in 6 per cent bonds, running ten years and secured by first mortgage on the plant. The appraise- ' ment made by the bankruptcy court of the company’s property, including much raw and finished product, on hand and in litigation, is $40,600. It is not probable that anything like that sum can be realized from the assets in money, and by some of the creditors the offer, which will hold good until Jan. 1. 19i>4. is regarded with favor One of the conditions is that James Lynn. M. S. Howe and John B. Letchcm. who are sureties on a large I amount of the bridge company paper, i shall be released. Local creditors are i hopeful that an adjustment which will I admit of the Works being started j again may be reached. Accidents to Railroad Men. Hammond. Ind..
