STRIKE INDICTMENTS Fifteen Indictments Will be Returned as Outcome of Strike. By United Preu Newt Association. Chicago, June 26 —lt is stated that at least fifteen indictments against employers and strike leaders, has been prejiared by the special committee of the grand jury, and who today are completing their reports. The jurors feel, however, that it will be hard to make the oases stick, but that the evidence before them warranted indictments, if for no other reason than that the public can thus have the evidence that has so startled the grand jury. In the trial of the oases this will be nossible. and it is the only way in which the public can hear in detail the black and criminal part that has been played during the Chicago ! strike boarFmeeting Miss Nettie Moses Selected as Librarian The Architect Instructed to Draw Plans for Low Presure Steam Heating Plant. • The Library board held a meeting Saturday evening and Selected a librarian. Miss Nettie Moses. According to an agreement she will have to take a summer course I in some school, for the purpose of fitting herself for the duties of librarian. and it is probable that Winona will be chosen for this purpose, as it is the most convenient and a favorite with the selected librarian B sides this the board instructed their architect to draw plans for a low pressure steam heating plant for the library building, and this will be done at once and offered to bidders in this line of contracting. They also appointed a committee to meet with the school board Tuesday evening to take up library matters with them, and to get a perfect understanding of the rights of each in so far as a library is concerned. It is their hope to have the building complete by December of this year i and this means that they are getting ready for a good sized hustle. The work on the foundation is progresslug. and it will not be long until the building will begin to go skyward. Miss Moses is one of Decatur's deserving and popular young ladies, a teacher of many years’ experience and as librarian will no doubt fill the needs and requirements of such a position. SOLD OUT Moser & Frysinger, of Wren, Buy the Cordua Poultry Business. The firm of E. and H. Cordua is no more, they having this morning disposed of their poultry, egg and butter plant to Messrs. Moser & Frisinger, of Wren. Ohio, and the new firm took possession at once. The cause of the change of business was due to the ill health of Edward Cordua. who was uuable to attend to the business, as it should be attended to, and who expects to take a rest and recuperate. Daring their short stay in business the firm of E. Cordua built up a nice business, and have firmly established their r rade. The new firm is composed of hustlers, and we predict a bright future for them. Messrs. Will and Harry Cordua will still be retained by the new firm.

FLAT RATE Tbe Board of Review Having a Busy Day Some Fifteen or Twenty Oil Companies Represented Before the Board. Some fifteen or twenty oil companies are before the board of review today, in which a uniform rate of assessment is being consuidered. Among those represented here today was the Prudential Gil company, South Bend Petroleum Co. Illinois Gil Co., Loblolly Gil Co., Empress Oil Co,, Darby Oil Co., Ruby Oil Co., Philmont Oil Co., German American Oil Co., New England Oil Co., Croker Oil Co., Marcy & Wheelei Oil Co., Eureka Gas & Oil Co., Chicago & Indiana Oil Co., Pittsburg & Indiana Oil Co., and Wakeman Oil Co. The board is working on a plan of a flat rate assessment for ea.’h and ever y j producing well, and a well that makes a barrel of the crude every twenty-four hours, is teimed a producer. At a late hour this afternoon the board had not went into executive sesson to determine what I this flat rate will be, but that will be formally decided yet today or this evening. It will no doubt hover around something near <3OO or |350 a well, as that seems to be about tbe amount of assessment that is universally taxed against producing wells. The number of companies enumeiated above is but a small representation of the total numtier that do business in South ern Adams county, and in a m ild way shows a factor they are in the business of any town that is fortunate enough to be located near an oil center. ELKS LODGE One to be Organized in This City The Charter Membership Now Numbers More Than Fifty of the Best People on Earth. Through the untiring efforts of J. H White and Thomas Haefling Decatur is to have an Elks lodge, which will be organized some time during the first of August. These two men during the past week have been circulating a petition and instead of getting the required num ber of signatures—twentv-flve—to he granted a charter, they have gone farther and secured the signatures of fifty, just double the number required. The petition will be sent away Wednesday and will pass through the hands of the chief officials of the lodge when it will be returned with the grant for a charter. Oat of these fifty candidates only three will be given the work and the balance will be taken in as charter members, and only be required to take the obligations. Several suitable rooms are under construction and a choice will be made in the near future. The men who have signed his petition are all business men and the good old order of Elks will lie well represented in this city. It is not as yet fully determined what team will confer the degree work, but a good one will no doubt be secured, and the opening work will be a I “corker.”

D Beavers of this city, performed an operation on Mrs. Conrad Gallmeyer, who resides north of this city about seven miles. For some time Mrs. Gallmeyer had been troubled with stomach trouble, which had all the symptoms of being gallstones. The operation was successful in every respect, showing that a gall stone had escaped- from the gal! bladder into the intestines, causing a stoppage of the bowels. This obstacle was removed and Mrs Gallmeyer rallied from the operation in fine shape and from all present indications will easily survive the same and in a short time be able to be up and around again.
