L- .'J... . - ' ""■ "■ ” The price of shoes is to be advanced and when this is done we guess about everything in the catalogue has been boosted in price from fifty to one thousand per cent. The fellow that can stand for all these boosts and keep out of the hole himself, is in luck. Congressman Adair's speech on economy in national expenses, and on which he paid especial attention to the white house, has seemingly struck a popular chord not only in Indiana, but throughout the country. The congressman's mail fairly bulges these days, the most of it being requests for the speech and congratulations to the speaker. It will likely be given wide circulation as a campaign document, and again stamps Congressman Adair as a champion of the people. John IL Walsh must, go to prison. He goes not because he has offended the law as no other man offended it, but be goes because he got caught, and because the government wanted to make an example of him. In one respect he is entitled to but little sympathy, but on the other hand he was a great man in the business world and had he made good before the government sleuths caught him, his name would now be heralded as one of the greatest men of finance in the world. But he must go to prison and serve five years, and that means that his days of usefulness are at an end. We are sorry for him and for his family,

Why sit around the house these long j evenings worrying about what to do g to pass away the time? The solution 0 to this perplexing problem is very 3 simpTe. Just get ready and go to the n Crystal theater. Take your family if you have one: if not. take your sweet- - heart or some one else's, and spend a pleasant hour at the best show on ; earth.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Birthday Surprise for Mrs.' Will Parent With Dinner Party at Noon. MANY FROM DECATUR ' I Attend Party at Fort Wayne for H. Ladig—Euterpeans at Schirmeyer Home. If I can stop one heart from breaking, ■ I shall not live in vain. If I can ease a life that's aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin, Into his nest again, I shall not live in vain. • —Emily Dickman. Today is the thirty-third birthday anniversary of Mrs. Will Parent, and the event is being celebrated at her home on Mercer street by a company of her friends who walked into her home about noon today, totally unannounced. Last year the ladies gave | her a surprise party and only a few days ago, when talk ing of the event, Mrs. Parent said that they couldn t surprise her again one out of a hundred times. The ladies determined that they “just would’’ and the surprise today must have been the “one out of the hundred,” for it"was complete. Mrs. Parent was getting ready for a dinner to be given by her this | evening for the Parent family, and while in the midse of her preparations the party walked in. They brought with them great baskets of good things to eat, so their coming at the “twelfth hour” did not inconvenience the honored one, and things passed off very delightfully indeed —I this may apply to the dinner as well! as the good time). The afternoon was devoted to music and games. Those who shared the pleasures of the day were Mesdames M. Fullenkamp, Frank Gass, Julia Colchin, Tom Durkins, John Keller, Conrad Gillig, George Kintz, Charles Pennington, Henry Gunsettiand Mrs. Frank. Tne Euterpean club will meet Thursday evening with Mrs. F. M.

Schirmeyer instead of with Mies Mary Miller according to the club calendar .Study will be of Wagner's Tannhausrer, and Miss Marie Patterson and Mrs. |F. M. Schirmeyer will have charge of the program. * The oyster supper to be given by the Ladies’ Aid society of Union Chapel church on Thursday evening bids fair to be a pleasant and profitable occasion. The supper will be given at the home of Mrs. Al Bailey and they ask the public to attend. The Rev. Sherman Powell officiated jat the wedding of Wilbur James Boegll to Miss Frances Alice Martin ]at the Methbdist parsonage in this | city. The young couple will make their home at Grand Rapids, where the groom is engaged in the carpenter business. Sunday was a happy day for Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Monroe, when a number of their friends gathered at their home to help spend the day. Music and other refreshments were furnished to make the occasiop a social affair and a very good time was had by all present Those who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ray and five children, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bahner and daughter, and Mrs. O. Andrews. The Ladies' Aid society of the Union Chapel will meet at the home of Mrs. Al Bailey on Thursday, the 20fh. A good time is in store and a good attendance is asked. Miss Eva Metzler will go to Chicago next week to visit with relatives and to attend a charity ball to be given by the Eastern Stars January 28th. Miss Bertha Voght proved herself a charming hostess at a 6 o’clock dinner party at her home on Fourth street. Those who shared her hospitality were Naomi Mayer. Rachael Lavelle, Marie Boese, Angeline Firks, Louva Stoneburner and Lucile Buhler. A number from this city went to Fort Wayne yesterday to participate in a surprise party given Mr. Henry Ladig, in celebration of his birthday anniversary. Mr. Ladig formerly lived here and is known to all. Among those from this city who went down yesterday to attend were Mr. and Mrs. Philip Meihls, Mr. and Mrs. George Meihls, Miss Myrtle Watts and Miss : Mamie Sunderland and children of <Contiß»e* o* >««• 43

heroicstruggle : -1 Mabe by Faithful Horse of i » 1 Decatur Lumber Company—Fell in River. SWAM THE CURRENT Several Times-Ice Prevented His Landing—Gotten Out With Lasso. The poor faithful horse of the Decatur Lumber company probably never found itself in so cold water, or pushed up against as tough a proposition as that of the swift-running, ice-bur-dened current of the St. Marys river Monday afternoon about 4 o clock. The fight that the poor animal put up for its life, before it was finally rescued from the river with a lasso, was a noble one, and worthy of a gold medal, if any are ever offered for dumb animals. The horse and wagon, with a load of trash from the lumber yards had been driven to the river banka behind the Bremerkamp mills on First street by George Appleman, driver for the lumber company. As the trash was being unloaded, the horse backed over the steep river bank and fell into the river, where its struggles would doubtless have ended in death had not Mr. Appleman succeeded in cutting the horse loose from the wagon. And then began the fight for life. The poor beast swam the ice cold waters of the unusually high river several times, and each time found escape to the steep banks impossible because of the ice that coated the sides. Great sheets of ice covered the edges of the river and about half the time the poor animal was driven under these, in an attempt to catch to them with its teeth. At times only the ears o fthe animal were visible as it breasted the swift current. In the meantime others of the lumber company were summoned to help in the : rescue and the banks of the river were thronged with onlookers. A . lasso was secured and finally as the ' horse made a last attempt to grasp i an ice shelf with its teeth and pull ' himself up the lasso encircled his body and helped in bringing him out on

Who helped in the rescue, te l into ice water and today is suffering a very bad cold. Otherwise there were no serious results.
