SOCIETY COLUMN (Continued from o?ge 2.) afternoon at the home of Mrs. French AJuinn in the south part of the city. : All the members are requested to be I present. A number of Decatur women, members of the Pocahontas lodge, are at Monroeville today attending the grand ■ pow wow." It is a big affair and ! lodge members from all parts of the state are present. • Sylvester Spangler and Mat Kirsch have planned to attend the Spangler i reunion held in Ohio tomorrow. A week or so ago the Indiana Spanglers held their reunion at Maple Grove park. For some time there has been the idea among many of the members of the family that their should be but one reunion, since both branches of the family are related. The Decatur gentlemen will present the matter before the Ohio branch with the hope that the two will unite. A crowd of young ladies left on the four o'clock car last evening going to Maple Grove park for a nieme party in honor of Miss Lucy Kruetimann, who is soon to become the bride of Mr. Ben Elzey. The members of the party were Misses Lizzie Knapp, Emma Mutcheler, Ella Mutchler, Emma Schlickmann. Lucy Fruchte, Bertha Knapp, Matilda Sellemeyer, Lucy Kruetzmann. Margaret Weidler and Edithe Hachmann of Fort Wayne. The party returned cm the 7 o’clock car with empty baskets proving that they had done justice to their picnic dinner. ’ Thursday evening, September 2, at the home of Rev. and Mrs. I. Imler's the United Brethren ladies will meet and give in their dollar and experience in earning same. If you are not a member of the church come anyhow. Will be glad to welcome all who are interested in church work. Husbands bring your wives, and wives bring your husbands, and spend a social hour together getting better acquainted. o RAILROAD BULLETIN CHICAGO A ERIE. Eastbound. Ko. B—Daily 2:27 a. tn.

Rice went to Paulding today on business. If you do not receive your Democrat on time every evening we will consider it a favor if you will notify us. Chas. Teeple and lrven Brandybcrry who are buying some goods at Chicago this week, will arrive home tomorrow. The show window in Mills grocery has a very neat decoration. It is advertising Kellogg s Corn Flakes which attracts the attention of many. Charles Dunn and family will leave soon for a three or four weeks’ stay at Paw Paw lake, Michigan. They expect to have a good time, with fishing as the popular amusement. The first frost of the season is said to have occurred last evening and according to Harvey Smith the melon man, it was a good one for a starter However, it did but slight damage to the growing garden stuff, because of the fact that everything is so dry. Mrs. Glass, an experienced hairdresser. and Miss Mary Closs of this city, have opened a beauty shop at the Closs home, 26 north Third street, and will do shampooing,hairdressing, manicuring* and give massage and scalp treatment. Office hours have been announced for from two ,to four and from 7 to 8:30 p. m. The fact that there has been no grand jury ordered will mean that some other means will have to be devised for the disposition of the cases against Manson Reiff for running a blind tiger, which resulted from the raid made on the place by Detective Clark and the local officres. It was supposed at the time of the raid that there would be affidavits filed, but as none were filed at that time it was then generally supposed that the cases would go over until the next meeting of the grand jury. Now with no grand jury the officers of the civic league will probably take some action. —Bluffton Banner. 0 DEEDS, NOT WORDS. Decatur People Have Absolute Proof of Deeds at Home. It’s not words but deeds that prove true merit. X The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills, For Decatur kidney sufferers. Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Decatur people who have been cured to stay cured.

Mrs. William H. Pennington, Grant street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I am glad to say that the cure Doan’s Kidney Pills made in my case in 1902 has been permanent. At that time I gave a statement for publication endorsing this remedy and now I gladly confirm what I then said. I suffered from disordered kidneys for over two years and my back ached almost constantly. Having my attention called to Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box from the Holthouse Drug Co. and commenced using them. All symptoms of kidney complaint soon left me and at this time I am in good health. Other members of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and have been benefited just as much as I."
