Those Indiana postmasters who have been urged to go to work for Fairbanks should read the following, taken from a New York dispatch: “Secretary of the treasury Cortelyou tonight made a remarkable speech at the banquet tendered him in this city by postal officials, over whom he formerly presided as postmaster general. In pointed language, directed to all the postmasters in the country, he admonished them to support the president and all his policies. He also referred significantly to the manner in which the postoffice patronage is dispensed, saying that steps have been taken to supersede selections by congressmen by appointments direct by the department,’’ The above dispatch bore a date later than that on which the postmasters convention was held at Indianapolis and shows what position the president has taken. He wants the postmasters to stand with him. If they go over to the other side they are warned —for Mr. Cortelyou's language is a warning—that under the new system of appointment the congressmen do not control. Appointments and removals are to be made by the postofflce department. The postmasters must either support Roosevelt or give way to other persons who will. Some people are attributing this weather to the spread of the Fairbanks boom. The vice president’s candidacy should be limited to the winter months. —Chicago Record-Her-ald.

“Uncle Joe” Cannon says that the next congress will adhere to the “Let well enough alone” policy. But the question is, is everything well enough to be let alone. Most persons do not think so and what most persons think will “go” in the next election, even if not in congress. BALL SEASON OPENS TOMORROW Two Big Games Against the Famous Marion Owls.

A SOCIETY DANCE Participated in by the Elite of the [City CALENDAR FOR THIS EVENING Includes Several Very Important Events in the Decatur Social Circle—the Simcoke Wedding. The dance given last night by the young society people of the Decatur circle was a most delightful affair from the time the grand march started until the strains of Home, Sweet Home were heard by the merry dancers. At nine o’clock the invited guests had all arrived, and the grand march was started immediately. The fifty couples beautifully costumed, marching about the spacious K. of C. hall, was a spectacular sight to behold. Miss Winifred Johnson and Dr. Raper, of Indianapolis guided the march and it was during this time that the programs were distributed to the guests in a novel manner. The Misses Luella Cordier, of Celina, and Miss Johnson, guest of Miss Fannie Frisinger, were the out of town guests. The affair was a success both socially and financially and the young people should be congratulated upon the clever manner in which it wag conducted. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Christian church will be entertained at the home of Mrs. Fleming, on First street, on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. All members are requested to be present. A good time is expected. A family dinner will be given this evening at six o’clock by Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Peterson in compliment of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Allvein, of Shelby, Ohio. Mrs. Allvein was formerly Miss Grace Peterson of this city. The social calendar for this evening is: Miss Catherine Simcoke will become the bride of Mr. Walter Kauffman at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride’s mother on Fourth street. The Senior class will hold their class night at the central building at 7:30 o’clock. The wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Vogt’s will be celebrated at their home by a large party of invited guests. This afternoon the Jolly and Merry Q. Q. Sea Foamers are being entertained by Miss Marie Jackson. It will be a delightful affair for Miss Jackson has taken the guests to Sycamore Springs, and at six o’clock will spread a dainty luncheon. Our pen cannot describe the jolly time they will have.

The Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church had a very interesting and pleasant meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John Schug. Several papers which were excellent were rendered as follows: Paper, Mrs. Chas. Dicer; boy's school, Mrs. T. M. Reid; the Round Table, Mrs. Beavers. There was especial music rendered and delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gillette will arrive today to attend the wedding and will be entertained at several functions. While here they will be the guests of Mrs. John Schug. After the business affairs and lodge were closed of the Rebekahs, a program of great note was rendered by the different members. Every number was fine and each time was encored, until the program became quite lengthy. It consisted of solos, vocal and instrumental, and readings. After which an old-fashioned lunch of popcorn, candy and apples was served. o ■ - - DRY GOODS STORES TO CLOSE.

THE SEASON OPENS THURSDAY Don't Forget the Date, Be on Hand and Help Push the Cause Along. Portland defeated the KokomoSharpsville team yesterday by a score of 2 to 1. Bluffton defeated a Marion team yesterday by a score of 9 to 0. Tomorrow —Well, then you can guess the rest. Remember Thursday is the big day. Two games for one admission. How can you stay away. Tell your neighbors and friends that the season of 1907 will open at Steele’s park, Thursday afternoon at one-thirty o’clock. Get them out and boost the game along. Catcher Winger, while running after a fly ball Tuesday morning, in some manner spiked himself and was unable to take part in the afternoon’s work. He is nursing the injury so that he will be in shape to play Thursday. The injury although nothing serious, is quite painful. Manager Behringer is instilling pepper into his men more every day and when you hear them break loose Thursday you will imagine they are a gang of Indians. This is what the fans like and every player should get noisy, as it also encourages the pitcher. Get your lungs in good working order. Also see that all your inplements of war in the shape of making noise are in good shape. Then report at the park Thursday afternoon and help the boys start off with two victories by your rooting. Geyer, the southpaw, is the boy that is making a hit with the fans by his consistent work and they are claiming already that he will be the best pitcher among the semi-professional teams. He has control, a wicked curve and fields his position like a veteran. He can also play any place in the infield or outfield with credit to himself and will prove in many ways that he is a valuable man to have. Big Oscar Way is hitting the ball on the nose with a vengence and when he steps up to the plate he will make many a pitcher quake. Way can also play the outfield and can pitch an awful clip. Way will be there with the goods and will fill Tom’s shoes in nice shape. Ayett continues to do his usual fast stunts around third base, and if he keeps up the present clip Cook, who had been signed for thi3 place, will not be missed. It is Manager Behringer's intention to start the batting order with this midget.

ARE IN SESSION Masons of Indiana Meeting at Indianapolis IN THEIR NINETIETH YEAR They are Building a Magnificent Temple—Over Five Hundred Lodges in Indiana. The Masonic fraternity of Indiana by its representatives and delegates met in Grand Lodge Tuesday, in the new Knights of Pythias building at Indianapolis. This is the ninetieth year of the existence of this organization in Indiana, the Grand lodge having been organized in January, 1817. The business of this meeting will be of importance because of the many matters to come before the Grand Lodge of a financial character. Following the fire of May, 1906, the old Masonic Temple property, which the Grand Lodge had owned for a great number of years, was sold under the direction of a committee appointed by the grand lodge with power to act. Following this a site was purchased at the comer of North and Illinois streets, the old Conservatory of Music, upon which will be erected a magnificent temple. It will be used exclusively for Masonic purposes. There are 534 lodges of Freemasons in Indiana, with a membership in round numbers of 48,000. The report of the grand secretary will show the good condition of all the lodges throughout tbe grand jurisdiction. The net increase in membership in the last year is 2,295, and the business affairs of the individual lodges, as well as the grand lodge, are in first class condition. The building committee, appointed a year ago. will make a detailed report of all its work and business and the progress made toward the erection of a new temple.
