The Luckey-Good paternity case has been settled and the case is now closed. Mrs. C. T. Rainear went to Fort Wayne today to make a short visit with her daughter, Mrs. Rosenwinkle. Mr. and Mrs. Richards, who have been putting on a special performance lat the Pictorium, left today for the I east. Boh are clever actors and made a decided hit with the Decatur people. The funeral of George Cline, who died Wednesday was held this morn- | ing at the Union Chapel church, a I large crowd being present to pay , their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Interment was made in the family plot in the Alpha cemetery. John Six, a pipe liner, was arrested last evening by Night Policeman Sam Frank and was lodged in jail to answer to a charge of public intoxication Six plead guilty and was assessed a fine of a dollar and costs. Being unable to pay the amount he was taken back to jail and will lay it out. Tom Railing will leave this evening for St. Louis, Mo., where he will join the Boston American league team and will go from there to Little Rock, Ark., where they will take their spring work out. The team will remain at Little Rock for four weeks and will then wend their way back toward Boston, playing several games en route. They will play at Fort Wayne on the sth and 6th of April. Here is something that is worth many dollars to every farmer to know: Sprinkle lime in your stock tank and not a particle of scum will form on the water. When the lime loses its strength scum will begin to form, which may be twice during the season, wash out the tank and repeat the dose. It is cheap, not only harm, less but wholesome, keeps the water sweet and save the . live stock. —Ex. In a letter to President Evans A. G. King says he will be here Saturday to attend to business connected with the locating of his factory here and that he hopes by the time contractors will be ready to give him estimates on the cost of constructing the plants. A number of builders have been figuring on the plans but there are not enough copies to permit them working on them to advantage.—Bluffton News. Spring millinery is here in all its glory, bringing in its train such a store of beauty and novelty as must surely delight the feminine world in 4 neral. Milliners are breathing a sirh of relief as the absence of the much bent eccentricities of the past few seasons is noticed. The sales women will have an easier time this spring and the world of women will find itself in more bocoming but none the less modish headgear.

To night the most successful clean-up sale we ever held. We have cleaned up about every thing we had left Os our winter stock of fine shoes. The few things that are left will be sold tomorrow at very low prices. By next week this time we will have a great deal of our spring goods on our shelves for your inspection.

Grant Strickler of Willshire, was a business caller to our city today. Ed France of Pleasant Mills, was a business caller to our city today. L. T. Brokaw returned home from Indianapolis today, after attending the funeral of his nephew, Dr. J. L. Williams, who died Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock of Bright’s disease at his home on North Capitol avenue. Dr. Williams was formerly a resident of Adams county. The man who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up, was a brother to the man who kept a store and’ wouldn't advertise because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place of business when it wanted something. The council will meet in a little informal way this evening to take up the matter of putting in a switch from the G. R. & I. railroad to the w’ater works plank Mr. Wagner of Grand Rapids, a representative of the road, will be present and it is thought that the line will be constructed. This will mean a great saving to the city in the way of handling coal. The girls employed in a poreclain factory in New Jersey went out on strike the other day because the managed ordered that they must no longer sing at thir work. They had been in the habit of amusing themselves by singing popular songs, hymns and Sunday school music, but they may do that no more. Rather than keep silent they stopped work. It cannot be that the manager was married, else he would have known what result to expect from such an order. “Red” Knoff, who was arrested yesterday by Marshal Green on a charge of public intoxication, was arraigned this morning before Mayor Coffee and plead guilty, being assessed a fine of a dollar and costs and in addition thereto, was given a twenty days’ jail sentence. Mayor Coffee seems determined to break up this system of the old topers getting drunk and raising a disturbance, and now expects’ to tack on a jail sentence to each and and every one. While doing some shopping in one our grocery stores the other day we chanced to hear a little boy ask his father who that man was buying beans. "That is our editor,” said he. “What do editors live on?” queried the little urchin. “Why do you ask that question?” said the indulgent father. “Because I heard you say you had taken our home paper for three years and had never paid a cent on it.” To save the father from embarrassment we left the store, but it is safe to predict that the child got spanked when the father got him home. —Ex. The Pennsylvania has announced its intention of erecting car-making shops of its own unless the car shops at Pittsburg to which it has intrusted its orders for cars show some disposition to move more quickly than has been the case in filling orders. Mr. McCrea visited the steel car making shops of the Pittsburg district last week to see just what was reason the orders of the Pennsylvania road were being held up. Mr. McCrea was told that there was such a crush of orders that there was but little hope of getting the cars out on time. Mrs. Alex Beall was summoned tc{ Indianapolis last Saturday because of what was believed to be the fatal illness of Dr. J. L. Williams, well known to many of The Herald readers. She left Willshire at 10:30 a. m., and was at the Williams home in Indianapolis by 3:30 in the afternoon. When she arrived there she found that the sick man was some better and Sunday morning there was considerable improvement in his condition. He is afflicted with Bright’s disease. John Williams, the Nine O’clock Tea man, is in Florida, and is also in very poor health. —Willshire Herald. Mefillo Lehman, teacher in district number one in Wabash township, had some experiences with William Teeter son of Ike Teeter last Monday evening that will probably be remembered by those that witnessed the trouble. It seems that the boy had been causing some trouble and had chosen a whipping as a punishment instead of being expelled from school. When the rod was applied he showed fight biting the thumb and the end of the teacher’s nose quite severely. Some of the other pupils assisted the teacher and finally succeeded in giving the boy a whipping.—Berne Witness. Five young men entered a store to buy a hat each. Seeing that they were ready for a joke, the clerk said: "Are you married?” Each replied: "Yes.” 'Then I’ll give a hat to the one who can say, truthfully, that he has never kissed any other woman but his own wife, since he was married.” ’Hand over the hat,” said one of the party. “I’ve won it.” "When were you married?” asked the clerk. "Yesterday,” was the reply. One of the others was laughing heartily while telling his wife the joke, but suddenly pulled up when she said: “But J .tin, bow was it you did not bring ma one?”

Eli Meyer went to Berne today to : arrest Sam Sprunger on several affiL davits for violating the liquor law. Sprunger returned to Berne last , evening of his own free will. i The horse sale opened this morning at ten o'clock, a large crowd of buyi ers being present and the bidding was spirited. One hundred and fifty head of horses were offered for sale, and the prices were the high dollar and every animal offered, was sold. Farmers from all the surrounding country who had good horses for sale had them on hand and they went to the highest bidder. The sale was among the best so far conducted and speaks volumes for the Decatur Horse I Sale company. If man and the horse could exchange places for about three months there would be more good woolen blankets sold, less horses tied all day and part of the night, more regular feeding and less hard driving, as few drivers ever think of the faithful horse and the service he renders. It is a shame the way some men treat their horses, drive them to town and in order to save twenty-five cents let the animal stand tied all day without dinner or even a blanket while the driver is spending fifty cents or more for tobacco or whiskey. A petition is being circulated and liberally signed by business men of Delphos which appeals to the management of the Clover Leaf railroad to stop all passenger trains at Venedocia. The suggestion and circulation of such a petition is certainly a capital move for the inhabitants of our sister village, as it will afford them an excellent means for leaving and returning to their homes the same day. At present the passenger serv. ice is very bad and the Delphos and Venedocia people feel that the Clover Leaf should co-operate wtih them in bettering the condition. —Delphos Herald. , Does it pay to advertise, Mr. Business Man? Here is what a recent dispatch says from Butte. Montana: The suspension of publication by the four , daily newspapers in Butte and Ana- . conda has had a remarkable effect on L all business in Butte. For a week no daily paper has been printed in Butte, > because of the strike of the 12 press- , men and the lockout of printers, news writers, etc., and the business : of merchants has dropped from 25 to . 50 per cent. Department stores claim their business has fallen off 60 per cent, and dentists, jewelers, etc., hive : almost been wiped out. —\\ illshire Herald.
