SENTIMENT AGAINST MARKET TRUST Tbe formation of the Business Men's Produce company is rapidly gaining headway. Terms and conditions for the management of such a concern are now being considered by at least two practical produce men.

the trust The story is a long one, and we could continue for several weeks reciting the methods of a trust that throttles all elements of fairness in prices, and worst of all, a trust that is driving business and trade from our city. What the trust should do is to gracefully retire from this nefarious practice. They should raise the standard of high prices and take down the red flag of no competition and low, niggardly prices for everything they buy. They should get manfully in the game of booming DecaturMANY PARTIES . (Continued on page 7.) Th exhome of Mrs. C.

At ttlx. close of the amusements dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. The lecture room of the M. E. church will present a pleasing appearance this evening when the forty young people gather in answer to the pretty little invitations which were issued by the old members of the Epworth League to this company of new members for an informal reception which will be held at 7:30 o’clock. Wild flowers and ferns are the simple, but yet attractive decorations of the large room. There has been an excellent program prepared for this special occasion and immediately following an elegant luncheon will be served. With the lovely colors of pink and white of the Indiana university and cut flowers prettily arranged on various stands and mantels formed the

extremely pretty background tor the evening party last evening given by Miss Bertha Heller in compliment to her guest, Miss Helm, of Richmond, to a company of twenty-five young ladies. Miss Mabel Erwin proved to be leader while playing progressive pedro and then the following ladies furnished the fine piano selections which were rendered: Misses Grace Miller, Gertrude Moses and Carrie Thomas. Miss Faye Smith gave a reading.which was also highly appreciated, and at a late hour elegant refreshments were served, with the pink and white color scheme prevailing throughout the refreshments. — SELECTING A FINANCIAL AGENT Rev.

THEY EVENED UP (Continued from page 1.) Summary— Two base hits—Guhl, Railing.Way. Sacrifice hitd—Guhl. Larue. Base on balls—Off Railing 3; off Guhl 1. Struck out—By Guhl 5; by Railing 4. Time of game—l:3s. Umpire —Gunion. NOTES. It was a great game. Railing and Guhl are certainly some pitchers. We secured two tw T o-base hits and then was unable to score. Tough luck. For the first time since joining the ♦earn, Wallace, our fast short stop, failed to get a hit. Ryan, Bluffton's new Ittt fielder, lead his team in hitting by getting two hits off Railing’s delivery. Weber caught a brilliant game, and not a man tried to pilfer a sack on him. No use boys, it is suicideOscar Way played first base and conducted himself in excellent style. Guess Os can play any old place. Cat Eye Gunion umpired the game and from all reports did the job in a neat style and not a complaint was registered against him. The game at Bluffton yesterday in which Decatur was defeated 2 to 0. ■was a great battle between two of Indiana's fastest independent teams. Tom Railing and Guhl both pitched magnificent ball. Bluffton has plugged up all the weak spots and should be in the race for the flag in the new 1.-O. league. Decatur was dangerous all the time- It was a brilliant game in which there wks glory enough for both teams. —Journal-Gazette. o WANTED —A girl. Wanted at Park Hotel.
