circumstances in an interview:

DECATUR

Decatur, April 14-(Special.)- THE mat
ter of city regulation of the jitney bus
in the two Decaturs is live issue at
this time. 1t is probable that the jitney
win be required to pay license of about
SIS year and give bond of about 5000.
Several of these buses have been run
ming In the two Decaturs and have been
paying no city license, as there was no or
dinance covering them.
Prof. c. NJ. Davis, known as the world
champion swimmer, is in the Decaturs
on business of a different nature from
that OF swimming, but he talked very
Interestingly on the swimming question
and advocated a swimming pool for the
two Decaturs. 1t is likely that he will
meet the people here and also the city
councils of both Decaturs at an early
day with view to placing swimming
pool in here. For sometime Professor
Davis was located at East Lake.
There is considerable talk here over the
finding of large amount of fluor spar by
Col. A. b. Hodgins of Decatur on the
Baugh place. eight miles up the Tonnes
see river from Decatur. Tests have been
made of the spar and it has been pro-
nounced first class in every respect.
Colonel Hodgins says that this spar is
found there in largely paying quanti-
ties He stated that he would bring some
large samples to Decatur within a few
days and show the people here what they
were
few miles west of Decatur are coal
and iron fields and the finding of this
spar near Decatur may mean that iron
and steel may be made in Decatur at an
early date. it is said
