Morton Grant, construction foreman of the draft peering department at the Wabash shops, was killed Thursday morning by being crushed between two cars. His death -resulted a few moments after the accident. On the repair tracks usually no two cars are coupled together, each car standing alone so that the repair men may walk around it as occasion requires.

A switching crew was required to do some work on tne tracK anu warned the repair men from beneath the cars and other places of danger. The initial effort to couple the yard engine to the first car was not a success and for that reason a little time, only a few seconds, was lost. Grant was not working on the track when the warning was given. From another track he walked to the repair track and went between the cars either to get some tool or to maite a measure ment. When he was between tne couplers, the cars came back and crushed him.

His cries told the switchmen that something was wrorrg and when the engine backed so that the two cars were separated, Grant walked outside of the rails and for a moment stood upright. That was for a second or two and then as his form wavered, the men ran to him to catch him as he fell. "I Am Dying," He Said. He retained consciousness and when one of his intimate friends ran to his side, looked him squarely in the face and said: "I am dying." He was placed on a cot and a hurry-call sent to the Wabash hospital for the ambulance, but he was dead before it arrived. Mr.

Grant was born March 25, 1864. near Mt. Vernon. 111., where he spent i his early life. About 22 years ago he moved with his sister, Mrs.

Daniel Adams, to Decatur. In 1902 he married Miss Rilla Daily of Decatur. The family has always lived here and for many years at 1700 East Prairie street, the present home. The deceased is survived bv his wife and two daughters. May and Eva.

Shel- ton; L. G. Wheeler, George Oakes, John Wagy, C. E. Shirey.

M. J. Wilson, Mrs. E. A.

AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED WITH LYRIC GLEE CLUB Those who attended the third annual concert of the Lyric Glee club given in the Central church of Christ last evening under the auspices of the Social Helpers were well repaid. The church was comfortably filled.

"The Sword of Ferrara," Bullard's great song for male voices which used to be the popular college glee club ensemble, was the opening number and was creditably rendered. The familiar "Soldiers' Chorus" from Faust was sung with true operatic vim and dash. "Annie Laurie." harmonized by Buck, took well with the audience. Director William Wright Deane was gratifyingly liberal with encores. Not in the way of criticism, but merely as a suggestion, it may be said that the tendency nowadays is to remove from glee clubs the formality that properly belongs to larger singing organizations, Princeton even going so far as to abandon dress suits, and group the singers about a scenic stage in characteristic poses.

It seems as if the musical effect would be improved if the Lyric club should adopt the double octet formation, and memorize its selections.

Every dollar spent in advertising is not only a see.l dollar which grows a profit for the is actually retained by him even after he has paid it to the publisher. Advertising creates a good will worth the cost of the publicity.

Advertising really costs nothing. While it; uses funds it does not use them up. It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and then keeps his business from not dying when he does. It eliminates, the personal equation. It perpetuates confidence in the.store and makes it possible for merchant to withdraw from business without having the profits of the business withdrawn from him.
