Horton, a news dealer at Montpelier, was acquitted in Justice Nelson’s court of the charge of Sabbath breaking by selling and distributing newspapers last Sunday. The court sustained a motion of the defendant’s attorneys to quash the indictment, on the ground that no crime had been committed. Charles Hoeppner of Preble, breeder of fancy chickens, stated that it was his intention to leave Preble and that he expected to hold a public sale in the near future and would sell his fancy birds to the highest bidders. Mr. Hoeppner has a wide-spread reputation as a chicken raiser and his sale will no doubt attract the attention of all chicken breeders. The latest word from Hope hospital concerning the condition of Mrs. D. A. Walmer is encouraging and unless some unforeseen complications should set in there is every prospect for a speedy recovery. The double operation for both gall stones and appendicitis made the case much more severe but the surgeon expects her to be able to be home within three weeks. —Bluffton News.

Are deceptive and “All is not gold that glitters” are two saying that can be applied to the shoe business. Just as a man’s character determines his word, so the inside make-up of a shoe gives it value and quality. The increasing popularity of the ELK SKIN shoe is due to the fact, they are honestly made throughout. The hidden parts have the same high quality as the parts in sight. My trade on this shoe is increasing every day. I sell Mens at $3.00 Boys at $2.60

Miller. Mr. Huffman has been in rather bad health for some time, but is better now. The several families coming to Decatur with the furnace company are experiencing some trouble in getting houses. This certainly speaks well for the stability of our city, but it also means that Decatur needs, or will need, more houses to rent. An old negro woman, whose needs were supplied by friends, never failed to express her gratitude in original language: “You is powerful good to a pore ole ’oman like me, wid one foot in de grabe an’ de Oder a-cryin’ out, 'Lawd, how long, how long?’ ” —Ex. A rumor was current on the street today to the effect that the east and west interurban railway line expected to give the city council notice in the near future that they would commence the work of laying rails within the city limits some time in April. How true this is we are unable to state, as we could find no one to verify the statement Nevertheless, we trust it is so, as it would mean much to Decatur in the way of labor.

The employees of the city who have charge of trimming the electric lights daily, have been complaining* lately that several globes have been broken by boys who continue the practice of throwing stones and snow balls at the same. A close watch is going to be kept in the future and anyone caught committing an offense of this kind will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The boys should remember that these lights are useful and make very expensive playthings. At the Reformed parsonage this forenoon at eleven o'clock was solemnized by Rev. H. A. Welker the wedding of Miss Estelle M. Sprang to John F. Barrone. She is the only daughter of Simon Sprang, living in the east part of Jefferson township, and her father presented her as a dowry a large farm in Allen county near Monroeville, where they will make their home. The groom is a farmer residing near Monroeville. After the wedding they went to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Isaiah Langle, west of the city and from there to their own home. —Bluffton News. President Evans of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ association said this morning that the association is in communication with an iron working industry employing three hundred men. The piano deal is still pending and an effort will be made to locate both industries if it is possible to contract with them. Both are rated highly in financial reports. In the meantime, the association must insist upon prompt payments of the money subscribed for the purchase of lots for when these factories come, it is essential that the money be on hand to pay them at the appointed time. — Bluffton Banner.

A large delegation of Odd Fellows and Masons arrived this morning from Portland, Geneva, Berne and Linn Grove to attend the funeral of L. C. Miller, who was an active worker in both of these orders, and who at one time, assisted in the organization of several of these orders in the abovementioned towns.

In the office of Attorney General Bingham there is being drafted “a bill for an act” providing life imprisonment for criminals on third conviction after having served two previous terms in an Indiana penitentiary. The bill will be introduced by Representative James Norwood. It is modeled after the Ohio law on the subject. The city council will not meet this evening as fully expected by many who have been under the impression that the city dads met every two weeks. However, this is not the case, as the regular meeting nights are the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The next meeting will be held on February 5, at which time several matters of importance will be transacted. The Link Brothers arrived this morning from Paris, 111., and are looking over their site where the Burt House formerly stood. They are as yet undecided as to whether they will rebuild or not and if they do they will have to interest some local capitalists in the matter. In one respect this is their mission to our city and if the necessary arrangements can be made they will make a full announcement of their plans before returning to their home. While returning from Preble this morning, where he had taken the tank builders to work, "Nig” Hendricks had quite an experience with a team, the result being a runaway. The team took fright soon after leaving Preble and Hendricks lost control of the animals, jumped from the rig and permitted them to run away. The team continued their run until they reached the city limits, where they were caught. The only damage to the outfit was a broken tongue and a few parts of the harness were damaged slightly. "Nig” walked into town.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker went to Van Buren today to make a short visit with their daughter. Harve Smith, the telephone lineman, is confined to his bed with a light attack of pneumonia. Several horsemen from Winchester were in our city today purchasing horses for shipping purposes. The farmers are making good use of the roads at present, while they are in good shape and are doing their necessary trading before the next thaw and bad weather comes. One of the hot water pipes in the heating system at the Old Adams County Bank bursted last night and the basement was flooded with water. No serious damage was done except the fact that the heating system is out of commission for a day or two. The interurban people made several successful trips to Fort Wayne and return, yesterday, each one being made without a bitch or stop. The cars are being rapidly put into shape since the transformers arrived and they will soon be running as smooth as upon any of the traction lines. L. C. DeVoss who has been sick for some time, is much better and is able to be up and around again Miss McKean had her hand badly lacerated today at school, which was caused by some of her schoolmates pushing her through a window pane. The injuries are nothing serious.

The Clover Leaf railroad is at present making a few much needed repairs about their depot in the way of putting in a car of screenings on tjieir platform and refilling several low places in their territory. The platform had become worn down by constant traffic and they are now taking the right step by repairing it. It seems to us, however, that a new depot would not be anything out of the way.

Charlie Voglewede, the shoe man, informed us this morning that he had secured the services of Sol Billman to assist in the repair of shoes, this being necessary because of the enormous business that he is doing, and Mr. Center, who has been with him for several years, was unable to do all the work himself. A new’ machine has been installed and this popular place of business now puts one in mind of a regular shoe factory. Mr. Voglewede now insures prompt repairing.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Jones returned today from Willshire, where they were visiting with relatives. Several of the employees of the Angola Furnace company arrived today and are quartered at the Murray Hote 1 . Gomer Davis of Concordia, tells a story about a wooden-legged man, al<though he denies being the one to which it refers. This man,” says Davies, “was going home after being at a late supper, along about 13 o’clock in the morning, when his peg leg went through an auger hole in the plank sidewalk and he kept circling about that hole all night, thinking he was going home.” During the past summer a man in Natick who owned some exceedingly intelligent dogs claimed that he had two either of which could stand behind the batter at home plate, and after the ball had been hit, run out and catch it in his mouth. Being very proud of their base ball skill, he wanted to exhibit them on the Huntington avenue grounds in Boston. Some friends of the trainer went to Jimmy Collins to ask his permission. “Not on your life!" replied Collins. "The crowd would be sure to yell: ‘Sign the dogs.’ ” Wnnam T. Sparks of Lafontaine, who died Friday night, left absolutely no debts, even on account of his last sickness. For one year he had been an invalid. During that time he insisted that his physician be paid every time he made a visit and that rule was kept as long as he remained conscious. He insisted in paying cash for ' everything and had a horror of indebtedness, even for a small amount and for but a time. It is understood that his wishes were carried out during his entire illness and until his death. Attorney Shaffer Peterson, who for years has sported a bald head that always loomed up as bright and shining as a billiard ball, is now the proud possessor of as beautiful a growth of swans down as one would wish to behold. The hair is iron gray in color and Shaffer swears by all that is good that it is the real thing and no imitation. He also claims the only remedy on earth that will make hair grow on a bald head, but refuses to disclose it to his afflicted brethren. Perhaps Shaffer used Peruna; we always heard that was a good remedy for anything.
