WEATHER. Snow flurries. Friday fair. Unchangeable temperature. W. S. Hughes made a business trip to Bluffton today. L. L. Baumgartner made a business trip to Berne this morning. D. F. Morris made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. Earl Peters returned this morning from a business trip to Geneva. J. R. Morris of Van Wert, was a business caller to our city today. Howard Davis of Willshire, was a business caller to our city today. Mrs. Wertzberger went to Muncie today to visit over Sunday with relatives. Mr. and Mr% August Brown of Willshire, were business callers to our city today. The circuit court has convened in Georgetown, Ky., and the case of Caleb Powers, convicted of complicity in the assassination of Governor William Goebel, will be called during the term. All K. of P.’s are requested to meet at the regular meeting tonight. Work in the third degree will be given. Let’s have a full attendance of the thrld degree team. W. B. JOHNSON, Chancellor Commander. Now comes the sad news to us newspaper fellows that the County Fairs of eastern Indiana have entered into an agreement to abolish passes. And sadder still is the fact that Winchester fair is a party to the agreement. With no railroad or fair passes about all the fun left for us is to pummel the trusts and read the Harry Thaw murder trial. —Winchester Herald. “Tommy” Ritter, the little flelder i who was last with the Muncie base ball team when it went to pieces, has received a flattering proposition from the management of the South Bend team in the Central league, and will in all probability accept it. Ritter, after the disbanding of the Muncie team last season, joined the Hartford City team and acted as its captain until the close of the season. — Muncie Star. Abolition of the present method of working township roads and the substitution of direct taxation are provided by a bill to amend the righway laws which was just introduced. Road supervisors are to be elected biennially under the bill, and officers at such elections are to receive one dollar a day for their services. Supervisors may receive 32 a day from April 1 to I October 1, and 31.50 a day for the remaining months. Mail carriers of the entire country are interested in a proposed raise in their pay, which is under consideration by congress.* If the law which has passed the senate goes through the house it will mean an increase in the salary’ of mail carriers of from SSO to $l5O per year according to the size of the city where the service is being given. The bill fixes the year's salary at 3600 with an annual increase of 3100 until the maximumu has been reached.

Charles Sether made a business trip to Delphos today. Edward Pelz of Fort Wayne, was a business caller to our city today. Jeff Klopfenstein of Preble, was a business caller to our city today. George Brewster of Berne, was a business caller to our city today. i A. J. Smith went to Greenville, 0.,' this morning to attend to timber' matters. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh D. Hite return-' ed this morning from Chicago, where they spent their honeymoon, and are now at home to their many friends ' on North Third street. Captain Mihm of the American Sal-1 vation Army, together with his followers, went to Berne today where they ; will hold services this evening in the Mission church. Capt. Mihm stated he expected to see a large crowd and would do all in his power to! make the meeting a success. | Many Logansport girls employed in stores, and in the telephone exchange at night, now carry revolvers. Ivory and pearl handled pistols are concealed in muffs or in coat bosoms just where they can be most easily reached. The recent attacks on women at night by some insane man or moral degenerate, has caused these young women to thus protect themselves. Those who attended the production of “The College Widow” last evening I at the Majestic theatre at Fort Wayne 1 report a fine time and a good show, i They are also loud in their praise i of the interurban line, as this sea-1 ture along permitted them to return • home a few moments after twelve o’clock. The traction people are ac-> commodating and are catering to the trade as much as possible. George Klein, manager of the Palace Bowling alleys, received a letter today from Van Wert, announcing that they were getting up a bowling tournament and desired to know how many bowlers they could expect from Decatur. They stated that they had received entries from Fort Wayne, Lima, Celina and several other cities and desired that Decatur should be represented. It is possible that a team may go and take part in the event. Work at the Decatur Furnace fac-< tory is progressing in nice shape and from all reports this plant will be in running shape within the next month. The machinery is being installed and the management of this concern is now endeavoring to make some satisfactory arrangements with the city to furnish them electrical power to run their presses and machinery. If this can be agreed upon the company will at once let their order to some plant for motors. About 5,000 automobiles are owned in Indiana, according to the first re-1 port of the motor vehicle system of j the state, which has been made by Secretary Fred Sims. His report covers the entire period since the new law went into effect on April 1, 1905, as well as for the quarter ended October 30. Since the law went into effect the registration fees amounted to 34,253, representing more than 4,000 machine s, while the registration ( fees for the last quarter amounted to 3464.50. The Bowling Creep. merchants have organized an association to improve their trade conditions. At their first meeting it was decided to advertise their goods. In this they. show wisdom. There is no other way i in which the same expenditure of, money will bring such large returns to merchants as by letting people j know through the local papers what they have to sell. People who buy i will go to the stores where inducements are offered by the wide-awake' advertising merchants. Advertising brings trade and trade makes a town. A little bit of the philosophy of an old afflicted brother might help some of us out on the life road. “And how is your good health this morning?” : some one asked. “Well, sir,” he re- , plied, “I can't complain. Outside of the old war rheumatism, an’ a crick or two in my wooden leg, caused from sympathy, an’ the deafness that come on me in ’76, an’ the cataract over my left eye, an’ a leetle twinge o’ the springtime ague, an’ the hard to understand change in the elements above us, I am proud to relate to you that my good health wuz never . better!” No more will the shiftless man’ gather around the free lunch counter and enjoy a square meal with a mug of beer —that is, if a bill which is to! be introduced by Senator Mock be-. conies a law. This measure will strike a body blow at the free lunch counter, j and it is said that it is backed by I .both the temperance people and the. saloon interests. The temperance people believe that the opportunity to j get nice sandwiches and other accesories of a lunch free of charge induces many men to go into a saloon who would otherwise remain away. The saloon men on the other hand ob- 1 ject to putting up a first class meal j and get nothing out of it but the pro-' fit on one glass of beer. j

The Decatur bowlers who will go to Bluffton tomorrow evening to battle with the Elks of that place are In good trim and expect to return home with the honors. The Bluffton Elks are reputed as being strong, but the locals declare they care nothing for that and expect to win hands down. A new case was filed in Squire J. H. Smith's court today entitled Eli Meyer against Julius Haugk, the complaint being on an account. Meyer alleges that Haugk is indebted to him in the sum of 329.25 for livery rigs while Meyer was engaged in the livery business. The case will be heard some time tomorrow. Emil Valenti, who was a member of the pitching staff of ttje Ft. Wayne Interstate league team last season, has signed a contract with South Bend, and will be given a chance in the spring by Manager Angus Grant. After the disruption of the Interstate he played semi-professional ball and made a good Impression. —Ft. Wayne Sentinel. A large crowd was in attendance at the revival meetings last evening at the M. E. church, and the interest seems to be growing. The meetings will continue throughout this week and Sunday the program will be announced for the following week. A special invitation is extended to all and you are cordially invited to attend and take part in the same. Owing to the icy condition of the streets, it is not an uncommon sight to see men and horses falling. This morning a large number of horses were reported to have been injured in this manner. The owners of dumb animals should give them the benefit of sharp shoes this kind of weather and afford 'them all the protection possible, as they are their best friends. D. M. Hensley has added another feature to his display window in the shape of a red owl. This fowl is a very bright red in color and is a species that are very rare in this community. Mr. Hensley is daily receiving some missive from parties desiring to buy some portion of these animals, but he flatly turns them all down. He may possibly make the Library board a present of his collection. Some time ago a clipping supposed to give information on Senator Wickwire’s bill relative to killing fur-bear-ing animals, was published and friends of the senator say that the clipping does the bill an injustice. Those who have studied it carefully, declarethat the bill gives the farmer ample right to protect his chicken coops and fowls by killing every varmint that is likely to attack the birds. However, it protects the fur-bearing animals by prveenting the wholesale slaughter of young muskrats and the like before they have had a chance to mature and do their part in keeping up the supply of muskrats. Advance to the inner door and give three distinct raps. The “devil” will attend your alarm. You give him your name, postoffice address and the number of years that you are owing for the paper. He will then admit you. You will advance to the center of the room and address the editor with the following countersign. Extend the right hand about two feet from the body, with the thumb and index finger clasping a ten dollar bill, which drops into the extended hand of the editor, at the same time saying, “Were you looking for me?” The editor will say, “You bet.” After giving him the news you will be obliged to retire with a receipt for the obligation properly discharged.—Ex. Everytime Jennie Creek emerges from obscurity somebody breaks into print to tell how in the year of the Chicago exposition she flagged a train with her red flannel petticoat and probably prevented a wreck. Whetuer it was Jennie or her foster father that flagged the train, Jennie always denied that her red flannel petticoat was used for the flag. It was in the summer time and Jennie says that in her most primitive state she never wore a red flannel petticoat in the summer time. Interest in Jennie has been renewed by the announcement that she was married to Forrest Groenendyke at Ei Paso. Tex., January 13. Groenendyke formerly lived on a farm near Millgrove, where Jennie was reared. “Women are responsible for much of thi drunkenness that exists in America,' was the statement made by that well known club woman, Mrs. Maria C. Weed, recently at a meeting of the Francis E. Willard union inNew York. Her paper on “The Psychology of Dipsomnia," dealt with drunkenness as a disease of the nerves, and she stated: “Women are responsible for the condition of nerves, and that breeds drunkenness. They sit over embroidery or some other sort of work until their nerves are al! a-quiver, and you hear them say: “I'm an absolute bundle of nerves.” When a woman makes such a remark she confesses to any state between hysteria and insanity, and her boys are as certain to go to liquor as they are to go to school.”
