Burk, the elevator man, received a letter this morning from his wife at Colfax, stating that she was recovering In nice shape and would soon be able to be up and around. This bit of good news was very encouraging to Mr. Burk.

The Carnation League of America has sent out a special appeal to all patriotic men and women to observe the birthday of William McKinley this year by wearing a carnation, the favortie flower of the murdered president. Carnation Day comes on January 29th, when McKinley would have been 65 years old. The river is again within its banks and is still subsiding slowly. The ice men are anxious to see it get to its normal stage In order that the ice may have a chance to form and get thick enough to put up. The weather indications are for a continued cold snap and it is quite likely that the’-e will still be sufficient cold to make a good crop of ice. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, is active in behalf of a measure that would increase his salary from $2,400 to $3,600 a year. He has taken time to dispense with information on the side, however, that 80 per cent of the school buildings in Indiana, are death traps. About 80 per cent of Dr. Hurty’s statements are subject to a discount of about 90 per cent on sight.—Marion Chronicle. Mrs. W. J. Vesey was happily surprised yesterday afternoon by the ladies of the Rome City club, who called upon her en masse to congratulate her upon her birthday anniversary.

Joe Rice of Cincinnati, was a business caller to our city today. Mr. McMahon of Indianapolis, was the guest of friends last evening. Squire Smith returned this morning from Fort Wayne, where he was attending to legal matters. Mrs. Taylor and children returned to Briant today. While here they were the guests of relatives.

Allison returned today from I Jonesboro, Ark., where he was looking after some timber interests. He states | that the climate in Arkansas is re-j markable and that they are now enjoying their early spring. William Ertiaer received a message from Indianapolis, this morning, saying: "J. W. Breiner O. K. Not in wreck at Sanford. Ohio Oil Company.” The telegram was great news for Mr. Breiner, also for John Breiner's children and many other relatives here, who have been greatly worried for several days. The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is character. That is true. What a man is survives him. It never can be buried. It stays about the home when his footsteps are I heard there no more. It lives in the communty where he was known, hence we should take care to build into our characters only beautiful things. A barber in a “moral town” had been notified that unless he closed the shop on Sunday and attended church servees the “better element” would quit patronizing him. The scare that he received induced him to post the following notice on his door: “No more Sunday shaves; every Sunday morning you can find me up in the amen comer shoveling dimes into the contribution box and playing hypocrite as big as anybody. Pray for me.” —Exchange. H. L. Conter received a letter yesterday from Scotty Cameron, captain of last year s ball team, in which" he stated that although he had received many offers for the coming season he expected to be back in Decatur, among hi° old-time friends. Scotty was a tine ball Ipayer and will be welcomed back with open arms by the fans. It is possible that he would be able to bring some very good talent with him and thus put the local team in the running nbxt season. The latest sensation comes from Marion and is to the effect that’ the police of that city have unearthed an opium den. In arresting two colored women on a charge of having htftibed a man of fifteen dollars, the police were led to make a search of the room and they discovered within a pipe and a complete outfit for hitting the hop. The inmates of the house wehe arrested and are now the subject of a rigid examination to know just how far the practice has spread in Marion. An interurban conductor was laughing at a job that “Schemer" Rinehart, a reporter on the Bluffton News, put up on himself Tuesday night. “Schemer" lives in south Bluffton and he undertook to save shoe leather by riding home on the cowcatcher of freight car No. 50, which was backing jsouthward. When the car reached “Schemer’s” street it was going so fast he did not dare to get off and it kept up this speed until it got four miles in the country. By this time the newspaper man was frozen stiff but he managed to get off and take the regular car home. “Schemer’s" attempt to steal a ride cost him ten cents. — Hartford City News. Don't scoff at the souvenir post card craze. It has been given the endorsement and hearty approval of Postmaster General Cortelyou, and ,as a matter of fact, it furnishes the government with a most profitable form of mail matter. In order to kaep the profitable fad from dying out the postal service has issued an order providing that all such cardsfinay bear written messages on the fron.t the right half of them being Reserved for the address, and with sufficient postage they will be transmitted under the post card rates to foreign countries. The order goes into effect March 1, 1907. and the post' cards will be treated alike in both the domestic and international mails. A vostern editor has come to the conclusion that those desiring “puffs” i his paper must pay for them, and h_ established the following schedule of p.?.’3s: For telling the public that a m. : is a successful citizen when every dy knows he is as lazy as a gave -tent mule, $2.80; referring to a deceased citizen as one who is mourned by the entire community, when he is only missed by a poker circle, $10.13; referring to some gainvan ting female as an estimable lady. whom it is a pleasure to meet, when every business man in town would i rather see the devil coming, $8.10; : calling an ordinary pulpit pounder an sminent divine, 60 cents, sending a I doughty sinner to heaven. $2.00. ,

Charles Sether made a business trip to Portland today. Mrs. Hoffer of Moilroe, was shopping in our city today. M. Fullenkamp are announcing a bargain in groceries tomorrow, rather an unsual event in these days of bargain competition. Read their offer in another column and good only for tomorrow. Quarterly meeting will be held at Union Chapel Saturday evening. The presiding elder Will be in attendance, and a splendid service is anticipated. A number of the Decatur society are arranging to attend. Miss Fredia Schindler left today for Denver, Colorado, where she was called to the bedside of her brother who is suffering with spinal meningitis and cannot possibly recover. Miss Schindler has been employed by Mrs. D. M. Hensley for some time past. Mrs. Jay Chapman, who for some time past has been suffering with inflammatory rheumatism, is reported as being very low and in a serious condition. Her condition at noon today was unchanged. She is at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.’ Cap Phipps.

Samuel Schindler moved to Decatur yesterday. Their goods were hauled through by wagon. The family left on the morning train. Miss Anna Conrad went along to help her sister with the work. Mr. Schindler has the position as motorman on the Fort Wayne & Springfield Electric road.— Berne Witness. Alfred Sprunger living northwest of town lost a horse valued at $250 Tuesday morning. The animal would weigh 1750 pounds and was prized by the owner as it was considered the family horse. It was quite a loss for Mr. Sprunger but we presume a gain for the Decatur Fertilizer company, who came for the carcass.—Berne Witness. ’ , ; As a rule editors are the first to hear of gossip, indiscretion of men and women, hundreds of things totally unfit to publish, of the intrigues, clandestine meetings, night buggy rides, young girls gone astray, flirtations of married men and women, in fact, all the scandals that come up in the community. The average editor generally finds out all the naughty doings in the neighborhood, no matter how secret they are kept. If the editors would publish half what he hears there would be ten divorces where there is but one now. There would be social ostracism of many who now shine as the particular bright stars in uppertendom. There would be shotgun matinees, lynching bees, hatchet partie.;, gore, imprisonment, desolate homes, h’.imiliattion and misery a-plenty. The | editor learns nearly all the shames aad hypocrisy of life and it is a wonder that he believes in man, woman, witch or the devil; in heaven or hell. Many of the people who continually f.ad fault with the editor owe their very standing in society to his waste basket. —Exchange.
