Fair lady, didst thou waltz with the immortal Jones last night? Wheat is "away up," and the patrons of the Decatur Board of Trade are all in a flutter of excitement. Read our "bargain column." There is something new in it every day that a great many people will find of interest. You couldn't make a draymen take a trip to the depot yesterday unless you shook a ten dollar gold piece under his nose.

Just about this time of year the equinoctial storm sweeps up the scraps of lingering winter and ushers in the gentie spring. D. C. Kennedy, formerly an attorney in this place, died in Clay City, March 11th. He leaves a wife and three children.

Visit the schools again this afternoon, which is the last opportunity to obtain it good idea of the progress the pupils are making. Mrs. Reaumer, of Peoria, displayed some elegant costumes for maskers at the Palace hotel parlors yesterday, and was liberally patronized. Old Pat, the black horse of the street car line, is dead. He made up his mind that there was nothing in this muddy life worth living for; hence his demise.

James E. Houchens, formerly telegraph line man for the Wabash, is not in another department of the telegraph service, though he is still in the employ of the Wabash. A. F. Ross, salesman at H.

W. Fenton's clothing store, has purchased the old Ullrich property, on South Main street, first door north of T. B. Albert's residence, and moved into it. The members of the Decatur Drum Corps expect to have their new uniforms in time for their grand tnvitation reception and ball, which will take place about the 20th of next month.

Mr. George H. Smith, formerly General Freight Agent of the Indianapolis St. Louis road, has been appointed General Traffic Manager of the Indianapolis, Decatur Springtield road. at Indianapolis.

Maroa is the banner township in the matter of paying taxes, and Collector S. C. Crowell has earned for himseif a reputation for being a number one officer, that will secure his election for all time to come. Bloomington and Springfield papers tell their readers that "Edward brick, a Decatur school teacher, is under arrest for beating a colored pupil with a broom-stick-" You must go away from home to hear the news-in aft accurate form. The types made us say, in paper.

that the election for voting on the question of organization under the general law would be voted upon the 3d day of April, which is incorrect. It will be on the third Tuesday in April, the 19th. Friday, March 25th, is the 13th ver birthday of Guy B. Jenison, and the event will be duly celebrated at the residence of his grand father, Alderman W. H.

Bramble, who knows just how such things can be made a success. Invitations will be out in a day or two. oCC The posters, "Rooms for Rent," that be stare every anxious house hunter in the face with a sort of sarcastic impudence, are a source of but little consolation to the uninformed. After you once "catch the idea," however, they cease to disturb your waking or your che rel sleeping hours. cel Superintendent Peck and Traffic Ora Manager G.

H. Smith, of the D. S. bal railway, arrived here last evening and will remain here to-day. Business men here like the way the D.

S. is being managed now, and they give these new officials the credit for the more prompt shipment of freight. Those who visited the Decatur schools yesterday and Wednesday afternoons, were much pleased with all they saw and heard. The children of to-day are enjoying noble opportunities to learn what is going on in the world, such as the children of a generation ago never even dreamed of. Boyd Braden looked mad when we met him on the street yesterday, and when we asked him what was the matter, he said he couldn't go a block without some lady calling him in and wanting to buy one of his Illinois Washing Machines, and he had SO many calls for them he didn't know what to do.

Well, they are an immense success, that's a fact. Nicholas Bonnersback. the new gardner at the cemetery, has arrived in town. and has already broken the ground for a green-house near the cemetery gate. Mr.

Bonnersback has for six years been florist in the State insane hospital in Indianapolis. He is a professional gardner, and his advent to this city will be gladly noted. He will devote special attention to beautifying private lots in the cemetery. Yesterday was the fortieth birthday of Capron the Cobbler, and last evening thirty of his friends celebrated it in a social party at his home on North Main street. Kepley's orchestra furnished music, and dancing, mirth, games and a royal supper were the order of the evening.

His guests bade him good night and hoped he might live to celebrate no less joyously his eightieth birthday. Mrs. Abigail C. Disbrow, of Warrensburg, was brought before Judge Greer, yesterday, and ajudged insane. will be sent to the asylum at Jacksonville for treatment.

Mrs. Disbrow was ajudged insane and sent to the asylum in 1876, but returned in a few months apparently cured. A few weeks ago her old trouble returned in a more violent type than before, and measures were immediately adopted to prevent her injuring any person, as she seemed desirous of doing. The third Y. M.

A. sociable last evening was well attended and the programme presented was the most attractive yet arranged. The singing was good and the solo of Miss Bowers was exceptionally Ane. Miss Conner gave one or two readings in her usual finished style. As the work of the Y.

M. C. A. is intended to be largely missionary we would suggest the advisability of a committee of reception to welcome strangers who may feel inclined todrop in at these sociables. As it stranger is made to feel sadly out of place if he ventures in at these gatherings.

"If ever you should come to you will not be likely to do for some time, in the present un-: settled condition of the at a palace near the Reggie gate" are reliably informed that the palace has been turned into a boarding house lately, where they, charge travelling men $3 per day and don't set much of table will see an old man wandering, wandering, as if in quest of something he could not find" -probably been out late to "the lodge" the night before, and lost his latch-key; or it may be, he is wandering in quest of a good square meal, which is something they don't keep in that locality. And when you see this old man, step up to him and gently ask him if Spring has come. HIGH SCHOOL. Visitor's Programme, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. 1 o'clock: Mr.

Price reduced to $3. SHOT WHILE HUNTING Youthful Nimrod Wounds Himseir While Shooting Ducks. Yesterday afternoon three or four youthful sportsmen went duck hunting in the neighborhood of the St. Louis bridge. One of their number was Grant Cussins, a lad of fifteen whose parents reside at the corner of West Main and Church streets.

Grant was standing on a log leaning on the muzzle of his gun, when all at once a duck did actually make its appearance. The boy was naturally excited at the sight of a real live duck and he hurridly attempted to pull his gun up for a shot. But in 1 his haste he struck the stock against the log and the gun discharged emptying its contents into his right arm. The whole muscle of the fore arm was torn away and his clothing was set on fire by the burning powder. His companions extinguished the fire and brought him to town, His wound was dressed by Dr.

W. C. Chenoweth, who says that with careful attention the injured boy can be out in a month. The accident should teac parents that children shonld not be allowed to handle fire arms with impunity. RAILROAD RUMORS.

It is reported that Mr. II. C. Townsend, general passenger and ticket agent of the Wabash, has been offered the same position on the Pennsylvania road. The officers of the Wabash, St.

Louis and Pacific railroad have decided to change the number of divisions between Toledo and Danville from three to two. That is, instead of having a division at Ft. Wayne and another at Lafayette, trains will be run from Toledo to Antioch and from Antioch to Danville. This will necessitate the removal of the yard from Ft. Wayne to Antioch and do away altogether with the Lafayette yards.

The shops will remain in Ft. Wayne, at least. for some years to come, but they, too, will probably be taken to Antioch, in time. The Ft. Wayners are fighting against this bitterly, and will try to keep their city as the end of one division.

The Land Leaguers. The Land League meeting at Hibernian hall last evening was called to order by Benj. McGorray. There was a good attendance. In the absence of the secretary, P.

J. Kearney was appointed secretary pro tem. Seventeen new members joined the league, swelling the number of active members to 67. A board of oflicers for the ensuing year was appointed, as follows: President, Rev. P.

J. Mackin; first vice president, Capt. J. C. Post: second vice president, Capt.

B. McGorray; third vice president, Capt. C. Grecien; tary, Peter Hickey; treasurer, T. J.

Mulledy. Election of Board of Officers -P. J. Kearney, John McEvoy, M. McGintey, John Black and Samuel Carson.

Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. P. J. Mackin, Capt. Grecien, Theo.

Nelson, Capt. Post and P. J. Kearney. The receipts for the evening amounted to $18.40.

The meeting adjourned to meet in the same place March 31st. 5. 1. 1. 1.

1. 0.5.31. It may be news to some of the old charter members of the Sons of Malta in this city to know that the order has been kept alive among the Germans of the City of New York, who have sixteen lodges and a membership of 1,700, made up of both men and women. It spoils the story, however, to add that all the "funny part" of the institution has been dispensed with, the "sign." only being retained, as a means of admission to meetings, which are exclusively devoted to charitable purposes.

Everybody seemed to have decided before-hand that the masked ball to be given by the old Concordia Club, at Guard's Armory, last night, would be one of the grandest affairs of the season, but not even the management themselves dreamed that it would be the magnificient affair it turned out to be. There were at least 75 couples present, and the costumes were, many of them, of the most elegant designs, while they were so varied that every conceivable character was represented. The maskers seemed bent on making it a highly enjoyable occasion, and they succeeded admirably. When the time for unmasking came, a great many surprises were in store for those who had been vainly endeavoring for hours to discover who was who, and many were the instances of mistaken identity that aided in enlivening the occasion. Prof.

Leonard's orchestra discoursed sweet music, and the merry throng danced lightly to its bewitching strains. Altogether it was an evening of solid enjoyment. the pleasure and harmony of which was unmarred by an unpleasant feature, and its success, both in a social and financial point of view, was such as to make the management feel happy over the result, upon which they are to be congratulated. They ought to repeat it at no distant day. Call and see the new stock of Millinery goods at Miss Emma Williams'; also, a full line of hair goods, South side Prairie street, 2 doors from Water.
