A republican and a non-partisan, a mixture for campaign purposes only. On election day it is different. The democrats should try the same game. All it takes to elect every democrat on the ticket is for every democrat to stand up manfully and make the victory a party one. Make an JX in the circle enclosing the rooster and no where else. The election of tho democratic ] ticket Tuesday by the full party 1 vote, will mean that the party are ■

thoroughly united for the game that comes up later this year. This is important from a political point of view and should not be lost sight of by the democratic voters. Johnny Andrews' statement as now reduced to cold facts, is not that Horace Porter said a dollar a day was enough for a laboring man but that a dollar a dav was enough for the work he done. Everybody thinks so too, and the laboring men of the second ward who work ten hours for one dollar and a half a day will know that it was more than enough. A council with a record of twenty nine ties in the short period of two j years are not getting much consola- ; tion from a public who expect a < council to transact the business of j the city in a business way. Their ■ defeat at this time will be an object lesson to future officials to discharge their duties as men, and not to rose rt to the school boy racket, in order to shift responsibility upon others.

The election next Tuesday will determine whether Decatur shall lie governed by Dnn-pwtjson republi- . cans or non-partison democrats. I r I seems to be the prevailing opinion that the democrats will do a more satisafetory job at the non-partisan racket.than the four present coun ! oilmen and candidates. Vote’er straight. After hearing Chairman Watson elaborate upon the achievements of the repbuli tan party and its trail of intelligence across the country in his address before the Indiana convention of the grand old party, one of the delegates went to his room in the hotel and blew out the gas. The doctors are still working on him—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. Dr. H. D. Reasoner president of the First. National Bank of Marion, arrived at noon today to attend the bedside of his friend Judge David Studabaker, who for several .years has-been director of the bank. Dave Andrews who drives the night bus of Peoples and Holthouse had his right foot mashed this morning by letting the heavy weight that is carried around with

them to hitch the horse to fall or slip on his foot. The weight weighs nearly thirty pounds and fell a dist ince of about five feet crushing two of his toes to a pulp. He will be laid up for a few days at least. Manager Hively received letter this morning from Celina stating that they were anxious and willing Ito come and would sure be here on May the eighth and with a strong team they also inclosed their line . up which on pajier looks strong and should put up a fine bat f le. Os course the Rosenthals will have ( something to say about the game ] and Celina will not win without , first having an awful struggle. Horace T. Eastman, the inventor 1 of the locomotive pilot, said the ' other day: “This morinng I was sitting in a drug store waiting to get a prescription filjed when a ( young Irishman entered. “The Irishman pointed to a stack of grwn castile soap and said: “Oi want a loomp o’ that ’ 1 Very well sir,’said the clerk‘Will yon have ] it scented or unscented?’’ “Oi’ll ( take ut with me,’ said the Irish- ( man- ’

ARE PRACTICING High School Boys to Meet Van Wert Again Game Will be Played Here May 6th, and Home Boys Expect to Win.

On Friday May the 6th the Decatur High School will again cross l»ats with the famous Van Wert team but this time the game will be played here which makes a very material difference this time the majoiity of the rooters will be with Decatur boys and the High | School can get even in that respect, | The boys are working hard and are determined to win this game at all hazards. They are now in a position I to be able to work upon their weak i spots and give that the necessary attention and practice. The two' teams will line up pracically the same as at Van Wert and a fine game of ball may be looked for, Captain Knapp will pitch for our boys and if the balance of the team should give him the proper support there will be no question as to what may the game will go and the reversal of the last score assured. The boys are making great j preparations to royaly entertain the Van Wert club and make them feel at home and to return the treatment furnished to them while Van Werts guests. And should either team win the best of feeling will tie shown. The only thing that is now I left for our boys to do is to huokle I on the harness and get down to I hard work and there will be a hot I time in Decatur after the game. I Notice. The annual meeting of stock- I holders of the Decatur Commercial I Club for the election of nine direct- I ors and for the transaction of other I business as may be projierly brought before said meeting will be held at the club rooms in the city of Deca- ‘ tur, Indiana, on Monday, May 2nd 1904 at 7 o’clock p. m.
