ARE INSURGENTS — The Two Republican Congressmen From Hoosier State. AN INDIANA PARTY Are in Washington to At*tend Unveilling of Lew Wallace Statute. Washington, Jan. 11. —The two republican members from Indiana are asserting their independence of the Cannon organization. Heretofore the "regulars” have countel Representatives Crumpacker and Barnard of the Tenth and Sixth districts, respectively, as probable supporters of the speaker and his program, but some events that are happening recently seem to Indicate that they will be found fighting with the "Insurgents” when the issue becomes clearly drawn. The same condition prevails in a number of other states where members who have been counted as “regulars” are expected at any time to sever their allegiance with Cannon and the oligarchy fihat rules the house and line up with thd~ “insurgents.” In Ohio this is notably true. Six republican members of the Ohio delegation are said to be on the verge of burning their bridges and joining the “insurgents.” The six Ohioans named as likely to take this course are Representatives Longworth, Douglas, Hollingsworth, Cole, Johnson and Howland. The indications are that in other state delegations -the "insurgent” sentiment is gaining surprising headway. Washington, Jan. 11. —Governor Marshall and lhe other Indlanians who came in a special car to attend the dedication of the unveiling of the statute of Gen. Lew Wallace arrived several hours behind time. The visitors were met by Col. Daniel M. Randall, sergeant-at-arms ot the senate, and Capt. J. P- McGrew of the Wallace statute commission. James Whitcomb Riley became the guest of Colonel Randell and the other Indlanians took possession of rooms reserved for them at the Arlington hotel. THE FIRST MEETING Os the Pythian Sisters in the New Hall Monday Evening Was Dedicated BY INSTALLATION Os Newly Elected Officers — Mrs. Anna Vance Was Installing Officer. Monday evening was a most happy and auspicious one for the Pythian Sisters, this being their first regular meeting in the fine new building on Third street. The members thought to dedicate the first meeting In the new hall by the installation of their new’y elected officers, so this important event was reserved for Monday evening. Mrs. Anna Vance served as installing officer, and under her careful and capable service, the following took upon themselves the obligation of their new offices: Most Excellent Chief—Neva Hower. Excellent Senior—Elizabeth Sellemeyer. Excellent Junior—Mary -Beavers. Manager—Flora Patton. Mistress of Finance —Lydia Elzey. Mistress of Records anl Correspondence —Bess Vaughn. Protector—Katharine France. Guard —Mina Hurst. Past Chief—Nettie Henneford. Trustee—Teresa Meyer. J. F. Lachot, traveling salesman for the Brooks Oil company, left this ; morning for Angola and other northern Indiana cities, where he will work In the interest of the company. t

ON BATTLESHIP DES MOINES. ] Word from Henry Miller, son of Mrs. Verena Miller, who has been serving In the United States navy on , the battleship Des Moines, is to the effect that his first year of service, which has just closed, has been a most happy and pleasant one. His term of enlistment was for four years, thus giving him three more years in ’ the service. For the past two months he has been stationed at Bluefield, Nicaragua, and may be there for six ' months longer. His health is good and the work much to his liking. HOME FROM SOUTH ■ -f Z. O. Lewellen and Family Report a Dtlightful Trip . to New Mexico. ( THE MONROE NEWS — Modern Woodmen Will Give 1 a Home Talent Show at J i That Place Soon. I I > Monroe, Ind., Jan. 11. —(Special to ' Daily Democrat) —Z. O. Lewellen, ’ wife and daughter Marguerite, who , left here December 20th for Tuiban, - New Mexico, returned home last Sati urday night after a pleasant visit ’ at that place with their brother-in-law, Charles Mason. They were ac- ; , companied home by their nieces, i Misses Olive and Bessie Mason. Mr. , Mason also decided to come back to i Indiana and at once made arrangements to leave New Mexico, and him- i . self and son also accompanied the i party as far as St. Louis, where they I changed cars for Muncie, where they , will probably make their future home. [ Mr. Mason will be remembered by the . residents here, he having lived in . Monroe township for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Lewellen han an enjoyable . visit. i _ f The revival meetings which are be- . ing held at the M. E. church at this . place are quite interesting and are . largely attended each evening. The Modern Woodmen of this place i are making preparations to put on | a drama,, entitled “Little Buckshot,” a western play. The cast is a strong one, and no doubt will be well receiv- > ed by our people here. It is full of comedy and catchy, and will be presented by our best local talent. Watch for date and particulars later. There have been no fatal falls reported here during the icy' season, but many slips are on record. Landon Smith returned from Flint, Mich., Saturday, where he was looking for a position with the Buick automobile works. John Hocker returned from Guelph, Ontario, last Saturday, where he went In the interest of his patent lawn f mower sharpener. ' Frank Martz, who resides a short r distance east of town is reported se--1 riously ill with pneumonia. He is ret ported as being a little better this 3 morning. Mrs. Laura Crill and son, Ralph, of Decatur were guests of Uncle John r Hendricks and wife and other rela--5 tives here. Glen Glancy and wife are now cozily domiciled in the John Hendricks 1 property and are now ready to enjoy life fir Monroe with the rest of us. . They have already made a number of friends here. Mr. Giancey is the operator and station agent, who succeeded J. A. Hendricks at this place. John J. Mayer has established a . collecting agency at the variety store and is now prepared to do all kinds of collecting. Call and see him if you want any work of this kind done. Terms reasonable.

DEATH CAME TODAY Helen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Smith, Answers Divine Call and PASSES INTO REST Was Sick Few Days With Pleurisy at Home of Mrs. Catharine Rugg. Helen, thirteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Smith, of east of the city, passed away it 10:30 o’clock this morning at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Catherine Rugg, on Ninth street, where she had been visiting for a week. She had been in delicate health for several years from spinal trouble, but of late had been in good health and was seemingly perfectly well when she went to visit her grandmother a week ago Sunday. Last Wednesday' she became sick with pleurisy and her decline since has been rapid. Her death, coming so suddenly and swiftly, and almost without warning, comes as a shock to all. Helen was born near this city June 4, 1896, and the full number of the years of her short life have been spent here, where she had by her sweet, trustful and loving nature made friends of all who were privileged to meet her. Many are they who will miss her. Besides her bereaved parents she leaves the following brothers and sisters: Frank Smith at Hammond; Harvey, Earl, Fred, Don, Robert and Irene of this city; Mrs. Catherine Lachnit of Indianapolis. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from the Methodist church by the Rev. Powell, but the hour has not been determined. The remains will not be taken to the Smith home, but will lie in state at the home of Mrs. Rugg, the funeral procession going from there to the church for the funeral. Burial will take place at Maplewood cemetery. FOR DRUNKENNESS Michael Bogner Was Fined One Dollar and Costs bv Mayor Teeple. WAS AT FORT WAYNE And Was Nabbed on Return at Midnight—Children Feared His Return. Michael Bogner of Eleventh street, one of the well known men of the city, was brought into Mayor Teeple’s court this morning to answer to the charge of public intoxication. He was found guilty and fined $1 and costs, which he paid and was released. Mayor Teeple, however, gave him a lecture before he let him go and told him that should this occur again he would add a jail sentence to tlie judgment. It is said that Bogner went to Fort Wayne Monday and did not return until the last interurban car, arriving here about midnight. As he has been in the habit of becoming Intoxicated, his family of little children feared his return and sought the homes of neighbors for the night lest he return and harm them. It is said yiat but a swallow of liquor crazes him and that when in such a condition he has often threatened the children and others, who remonstrate , with him. As soon as he got off the car Monday evening he was arrested by Night Policeman Fisher and taken to jail for safe keeping until this trial this morning. This was Mayor Teeple’s first trial. o BANS PUBLISHED. The bans of matrimony were published for the first time at St. Marys church Sunday between Miss Rebekah Meyers and Mr. Ben Kohne.
