They do not know whether he intends to play for first place next year or standpat on his declaration never again to be a candidate. There are two considerations that would make Mr. Rosevelt change his mind and again become the nominee of his party. If he thought that some man was about to be nominated who would not allow himself to be guided by his advice and counsel, he would accept the nomination if it came with practical unanimity, or if the trip of our navy

to the Pacific coast should stir up Japan to the fighting poitn, he would demand the nomination so that he and his administration would have the credit of licking these cocky little brown men. Now that Harriman has been indicted by the federal grand jury at San Francisco, along with the Southern Pacific railroad, for cutting published rates, he will see what he has come to by breaking off his relation* with thot other "practical'’ man, Theodore Roosevelt. The Hon. Paul Morton admitted that he had violated the rebate law, but Mr. Roosevelt kept him in his cabinet until a place at $75,000 a year could be found for him with an insurance company—at the policyholders’ expense.

BECOMES A BRIDE Miss Leota Gilpen Marries Edwin Beery THE LADIES MITE Their Society Meets Tomorrow —Many Other Social Events. By Perle Burdg. Miss Leota, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wash Gilpin, of Ninth street, became the charming bride of Edwin Berry, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Berry last evening at the home of her parents at six o’clock in presence of a few choice friends. Rev. Wilcox performed the ceremony which was short and very impressive. Immediately at the close of the ceremony the guests found their places at the beautifully decorated table in the dining room, w’here an elaborate dinner awaited them. One main feature of the dinner was a large wedding cake which was baked by the bride’s grandmother, who is seventyfive years of age, and is well and hearty and still able to do her part in such affairs. The bride was a graduate from the Decatur high school in the year of 1905 and was a leader in her class- through the many happy years. She is accomplished in many ways, and is an earnest church worker of the Methodist church. The groom is well known young man and is employed as a motorman by the Fort Wayne and Springfield traction company on the interurban and has many friends wherever he goes. The happy couple are at home to their many friends on Fifth street. The Democrat extends congratulations. A very important meeting of the Ladies' Mite Society of the Methodist church will be held at the home of its president, Mrs. D. J. Rice, Friday p. m., Oct. 4. at 3 o’clock. All the chairmen of the society are earnestly solicited to be present. A general invitation is extended to all other members and friends of the society. Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb will entertain the Euterpean club this evening at her home on Winchester street. Mrs. Heller has charge of the program. Messrs and Mesdames O. L. Vance, and Al Burdg were entertained at a twelve o’clock dinner today by Mrs. Dora Erwin in compliment to Mrs. Ollie Kingman, of Delaware, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Clark J. Lutz will entertain at six o’clock dinner this evening, the invited guests being those associated with Mr. Lutz as members of the factory committee of the Commercial Club. It goes without saying that a delightful social event will result. The entertainment to be given by the Ladies' Aid Society of the U. B. church, the proceeds of which will be

used to pay for electric lights, will occur on the evening of October 17. The ladies are already working hard for the success of this entertainment and deserve to make it a glowing success. On last Saturday evening a small party gathered at the home of Mr. Elmore Cook to remind him of his 50th birthday, which was a complete surprise to him. In the evening he and a friend started for Monroe and on returning found the house well tilled with people waiting for his return. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lanterman, Mr. and Mrs. Fill Summers. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Strickler, Mrs. Thomas Crumbaugh, Mrs. Gilbert Strickler and son Clarance, Mr. and Mrs. Beele Vogel, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Strickler, Misses Noke and Beulah Cook, Misses Golda and Mary Nye, Miss Laura Strickler, Miss Alta Crumbaugh. Mr. Frank and Fred Nye, Mr. Henry Cook, Mr. Georgie Strickler. Many useful presents were given. The evening was spent with music and singing given by Miss Golda Nye. At a late hour a two-course lunch was served and the happy people departed for their homes wishing Mr. Cook many more such happy birthdays. *1 he party was arranged by Mrs. Cook. Mrs. D. E. Studebaker will entertain twenty ladies at her country home tomorrow evening in honor of Mrs. R. F. Miller, of Goshen. Ind. The ladies will meet at the residence of Judge R. K. Erwin at the corner of First and Monroe streets at seven o'clock, where conveyances will deliver them safelj to the Glendale farm. HALF A CENTURY Since the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hilgerman A GOLDEN WEDDING Was Duly Celebrated Today —Several Decatur People Attended the Event. Today at their home eight miles west of the city, Mr. and Mrs. William Hilgerman celebrated their golden wedding in a royal manner. Friends and relatives from far and near gathered at their home to enjoy the pleasures of the day. This aged couple have resided in this county for more than fifty years and are widely known. Inasmuch as they have had dealings with the Fulenkamp store for more than fifty-two years, Mrs. M. Fullenkamp and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Gass were recipients of invitations to the event. An elaborate dinner was served the large number present and all enjoyed a day of pleasure. Two beautiful rockers were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Hilgerman, beside a number of other presents from various guests. Those from this city who were in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Terveer, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Gass, Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Schlickman and Mrs. M. Fullenkamp.
