SOCIETY COLUMN Mrs. H. L. Conter Will Give Dinner Party this Evening — I THE ’O9 GRADUATES Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Weldy Give Dinner—Other Social Items Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Conter will entertain at six o'clock dinner this evening Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hensley, John Peterson and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Flanders. The Misses Rose Dunathan, Norah Smith and Annette Johnson had a surprise in store for the Seniors. They came this morning to arrange everything for tonight’s commencement. The instructors told them that they were to spend a social hour together. Ice cream and cake were served and every pupils enjoyed this farewell gathering to the limit. Miss Marie Allison will give a farewell party after commencement to the members of her class. The girls and boys of the class are all looking forward to it with much pleasure. Mrs. W .B. Weldy gave a family dinner an dfarewell party yesterday at her home on First street. Those who composed the party and spent the afternoon so pleasantly were Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Weldy and son Bryce of west of the city, Mrs. Sarah Cochran, Mrs. Willard Hartman, Daniel Weldy, Mrs. Sarah Cassel and children of Detroit. Mrs. Cochran and Mrs. Hartman have started on a trip to Seattle, where they will visit the former's son and the latter's brother. They will attend the exhibition at that place and take in all the sights. They will remain several months. o OFFICERS ARE BUSY (Continued from page 2.) ticulars will later be given out by the Geneva celebrators, and it will contain everything good under the sun. W. B. Hale and Jesse Throup came home yesterday from Indianapolis, where they attended Masonic grand lodge, and incidentally looked after business of importance. Mrs. C. F. Graves came home yesterday from Waterloo, Indiana, where she visited for some tilne with her father, who has been in poor health, and who is also showing but slight improvement. The Geneva school board will meet on next Monday evening, and at that •time they will select the teachers for the Geneva schools for the coming year. Some surprises are said to be in store for the patrons of the schools, and in the meantime every one is doing nothing but quietly holding his breath. Geneva has fewer loafers and more men at work than any other town on the historic banks of the Wabash. Geneva is prospering and while we do not often take time to blow our own horn, yet the fast pace is exciting the admiration of not a few of our neighbors. This year will prove the banne rone for the best little town in the kingdom. We are informed that a Geneva citizen is again in serious trouble in Fort Wayne, and if such proves true we will give the particulars later. A. G. Briggs, our leading citizen and flanncier, is having the round ot his life. Boils, and boils seem determined to put one over him. The last count was three on the back of his neck, and he has suffered so long with them that his condition is really serious. Art Coleman moved his grocery stock one door west to the W. W. Briggs room yesterday and is already settled in his new home. Lack of improvement in his former place of business made the change a necessity, and Mr Coleman is not the fellow who does not know when a necessity is after him.

MRS. FRANCE BADLY BURNED While Lifting a Pan of Hot Chocolate from the Stove this Morning. Mrs. Bart France was quite badly burned with hot chocolate just before noon today. She was baking a cake and in lifting a pan of boiling hot chocolate from the stove, she upset the fluid which spread over her hands and wrists. The right hand was terribly burned, the skin being cooked off and the left hand was also badly scalded. Dr. J. M. Miller was called and dressed the injuries and she was resting as easy as could be expected this afternoon. While it is not believed the burns will prove serious, she is suffering considerably, and will be ill for several days as a result. OPENBRANCHHERE The J. A.
