PORTER HENRY STETLER For Councilmen—Third Ward PETER GAFFER PETER KIRSCH TOMORROW THE DAY Tomorrow is the day. It is of supreme importance that every democrat be elected. The reasons are not altogether political, as we have a council, the majority republican, who transact business by proxy. That s, every measure of importance is voted

~ I V a tie bv this great business majority. I t tweaty nine being the total number t of ties during the last two tears, more a It ties than have been voted since De catur became an incorporat'd city v ' r This is the record upon which thev I i now ask the voters to endorse, by re t turning them to official life. This is the r record upon which they now tell you , there is no politics in this election, | and that the democrats should forget their democracy. They ask this in face of the fact that about all quee tioDS upon which there were no ties, were the appointments of republicans to office, and upon that thev all agree with a unanimity that is amaz ing. No tie® on this question, for the appointment of a republican to office is of more importance to them than is anything else. This, it will pay any democrat to remember. Remember that republican support of a demo-

crat never materializes on election day, and the right and only way to ■cratch your ticket, is to scratch it ax they do, only vote the straight democratic ticket. Our candidates are all capable, honest and upright people. They will administer the affairs of the city as business men and are entitled to every demociat’c voteA complete and careful organization has been male, and all that is neces •ary to insure the election |of every democrat on the ticket, is for the democrats to do their duty by voting the ticket straight.

Swat the tie ticket. There is work to do tomorrow. Make arrangements to do your share. Twenty-nine ties in two years. It is a great record for that holy non partisan council and candidates for re-election. Remember them tomor-

row by voting the straight democratic • ticket. • ~ ~ . Get every voter to the polls and . make the democratic victory complete. Mayor Coffee’s record is such that it entitles him to re-election. The fact that he decided twenty-nine ties, and the fact that he decided every i one of them on their merits, without fear or favor to any individual, shows that he is to be trusted and should be re-elected. Do not be It'd astray that he is responsible for the laxity of the duties of the marshal, because he is simply an executive officer onlyThe time has never been that he interferred with the duties of the mar sbal, and the time has never been that he refused to render judgment

against any one when the evidence justified such a decision. Vote for Mayor Coffee. AN OIL WELL To be Drilled at Once North of Town

Shepherd Company Will Begin Work Within Few Days on Judge Erwin's Farm. The Shepherd Oil company will in a very few days begin the work of drilling a wild cat oil well on the farm of Judge R. K Erwin four miles north west of this city. A Contract has been entered into whereby the test well is to be drilled ! for <SOO, which amount is to be re- I turned in case the well p.oper is a ten barrel producer or better. The bonus has been nearly all subscribed. Judge Erwin donating one fifth and people in the neigh- ■ borhood subscribing the rest. The II. A. X 5 ■ 1 W A , X At»

well is to be drilled as a test of the territory and Mr. Sherpherd says he believes the new held will prove a {laying one If it does the territ >ry north of Decatrur will soon be covered with derricks, and this city would soon be headquarters for oil men who could thus work territory in every direction from town. It is to be hoped that the Erwin well will result in a producer that will put the Texas gusher out of the business.

JAPS WIN Defeat Rosenthals in Fast Ball Game Score of Five to Three Tells the Sad . Tale of Yesterday’s Workout.

A fair sized crowd was at the Bal] Park Sunday to witness the first defeat of the season for the ■ Rosenthals by Charles S. Peter- j son’s famous ‘‘Japs". From an onlooker's view of the game it. was great but to the Rosenthalsit was ' humiliative. The score of 5 to 311 tells a funny story, at -east so th ‘‘Japs" say and brought much joy to their’hearts. The game through- j out was a very fast one, and the I way the Rosenthals started out one I would have thought they would win 1 1

in a walk, as they “lambasted” the I l»ll right and left and scored one in I the first and two in the third, but I I right here is where the scoring ' I ( I stopped, and for the remainder of | the six innings the Rosenthals were presented with a beauttiful bunch of goose eggs. In the mean time. 1 however, the “Japs" were net asleep and tied the score in the fourth by a passed ball by Touhey. forged_one ahead in the sixth by another passed Iml 1 and to add to their glory got another in the j eighth by the same source, making their total five. The Rosenthals ' presented a patched up team, left 1 i fielder Devinney being out of town, Baldwin the right fielder being un I able to pla\|o3 account of other work 1 | and a man named Peters in right field who did miserable work. This J however must not reflect anything upon the good work of the Japs . who, by the ball played yesterday were fully entitled to a victory. The feature of the game was the out

field work of Peterson for the Rosenhals and the second base playing of Charles Peterson for the Japs. * The Rosenthals have annexed two stars to their force by the names of d ’•arrell and Johns, both of whom j are polished ball players and from f whom much good work is exjiected. i The following is the score by in- ( nings. 123456789 R Rosthls. 102000000 3, Japs 011101010 5 j DEATH RESULTS Mrs. Irvin Pyle Dies After Illness of Several Years. • Yesterday morning at six o’clock occurred the death of Mrs Irvin Pyle at her home on Ninth Street, the direct cause of her death being unknown.
