A number of Decatur lovers of the manly art will attend The correct way to salute your lady friend on the street no longer means .exposing your head to winds and draughts, but, according to the latest edicts of the fadsmith, is in saluting the lady army style, by raising the hand to the tip of the hat. .It started in Newport, the new style, and consists of the military salute, of raising the fingers of the right hand to the brim of the hat. Just a fad, but it has begun to spread like fads do and promises to quite destroy the old style. A young man in Illinois was killed when a train struck his automobile, and his relatives having sued for damages were awarded the sum of one dollar. The verdict has just been affirmed by the appellate court. The decision, it appears, says the Indianapolis Star, was rendered on the ground that the man was a bachelor, with no one dependent on him, and the natural assumption, is therefore, that the dollar represented, in the judgment of the jury, the value of an unmarried man to the community.

IS GETTING WARM Governor Hanly to Jump all Over Legislature IS FRANTIC ABOUT HIS PET Wants to Force Insurance Measure Through the Legislature—ls Mud Slinging. Indianapolis, Feb. 20.-Indications are coming from under cover that Governor Hanly is going to make some sudden and powerful move, the details of which only a select few know anything about. The object to be attained is to force through the legislature his pet insurance bill. Some say that he plans to expose his antagonists with some fact and figures, which he is alleged to have. It it said that even his old law partner, Senator Will Wood, who is opposing him on most measures, will be fought personally by Governor Hanly. The mud slinging has already began, and it seems that the session will end in a storm of personal abuse, and that either the anti.Hanly'members will retreat gracefully, or that Hanly will never be forgiven by his opponents. A most serious party fight started this afternoon with the consideration of the insurance bill in the senale. The governor is centering all his guns on the legislature to pass this bill. His opponents say that with a commissioner doing the governor s bidding, Hanly could keep himself in the lime light for two more years by open investigation of insurance companies. The services at the Presbyterian church are increasing in interest at each meeting and large crowds are attending. Dr. Masters of Fort Wayne has aroused considerable interest by hi 4 addresses and those attending speak well concerning him. Mr. Yarnell, a beautiful tenor singer of Fort Wayne, during each service, renders several solos that are deserving of special mention. The meetings will continue all this week and a special invitation is extended to all to attend and take part in the meetings. Mrs. C. M. Meyers and children returned to Geneva today. While here they were the guests of Mrs. Fullenkamp. o-—————• NOTES FROM RURAL ROUTE TEN. • Sam Shepard is on the sick list. Miss Ida Jacobs was the guest of Mrs. James Stump last Friday.
