Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana as second class mail matter. J. H. HELLER, Manager. The Republicans in congress will not agree to an investigation of the charges of the misuse of federal patronag for political purposes as asked by the Democrats. A Washington dispatch says: ‘•Practically all the Republican le. ders ate opcsed to taking the step. They point out that the Republican party is now on the verge of a split m many states, some of which must cast their electoral votes for the Republican nominees if the party is to elect the next president, and th y believe any sort of congressional inquiry would tend to make matters worse.” So there you are. All sorts of improper things may be done, but they will not be interfered with if it will ‘‘hurt the party.” The Indianapolis News now regards Mr. Bryan as a wonderful man in purity of character, in honesty of purpose in eloquent logic, and in Christian sincerity, but says he cannot be elected. Why? BeCa-re the special interests that prey upon the people and Fairtiankrrized newspap rs like the ' Indianapolis News fight him? If the News is the great reform and antispecial privilege organ it professes to be, how can it be opposed to an out- • spoken, peoples man like Bryan and in favor of a corporation representative like Fairbanks, who has no known opinion on anything except that he‘ wants to be president and that he! owns stock in the Indianapolis News. I —Rochester Sentinel. If Joe Cannon evgr had any hope of capturing the republican presidential nomination, the news from home will have a tendency to destroy that hope, for there have been rumblings for the past ten days that portend no good for his cause, and just the other day James Pease, member of the state committee from the Tenth district, made the announcement that it was his intention to do all in his power to elect a set of Taft delegates from his district, and it is now believed that the Illinois delegation will not be solid for Cannon.

MRS. NEURGE DEAD Pioneer Lady of Preble | Township Dies —Aged Eighty-Nine ILL SEVERAL MONTHS Funeral Services at Preble; Lutheran Church Monday Afternoon Mrs. Caroline Neurge, aged eighty- j nine years, died this morning at six > o’clock at the home of her son, Wil-I liam Grote, one quarter of a mile i i ncrth of Preble, after an illness of sev-. i eral months' duration, death resulting j from old age and complication of' diseases. The deceased was one of I the oldest residents of Preble township. During the past few years she J had been making her home with her sen. William Grote, she moving there • shortly after the death of her husband. I I Mrs. Neurge was one of the best | known women in that community, being of a kind and loving disposition. 1 and her many kind acts and deds of charity will be sadly missed by those who came in closest contact with her. i The funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at two o’clock at the ■ Preble Lutheran church. Rev. Klaus-1 ing will officiate and interment will be made in the Preble Lutheran cemetery. ■i — — —. ■ n . ‘■PETER PAN” AT MAJESTIC. Peter Pan, the hero of J. M. Barris’s 1 charming play, which Charles FrohI man will present at the Majestic thea- ! ter Friday and Saturday matinee, is a boy who did not want to grow up. When he was a very little fellow he ran away from the human world and lived with the fairies , in the Never-Never Nr ver and. But , i he had a great fondness for stories. | i and so, now and then, he would fly i to earth at S:ory Time and peep into; nursery windows. One night, when Mrs. Darling was telling stories to her ■ children he crept into the room to lisj ten. Mrs. Darling saw him and was i frightened, and Peter started to escape, but Nana, the faithful dog. who had always been the Darling children’s nurse, closed the window so, quickly that it cut off Peter’s shadow ■ and he was forced to fly away without it. One of Peter’s return for his shadow and his recovery of it. with all the startling consequences that followed Mr. Barrie has woven the most fascinating stage production of this century. Peter Pan has delighted millions of theater goers in England and America during the past five seasons, and has won a popularity unique nd unparallelel. Charles Frohman’s production of “Peter Pan" that will come j to Fort Wayne is in all ways a duplicate in elaborateness and detail which was made at the Empire theater, New York, and the Duke of York’s theater.
