J. H. HELLER, Manager. The boycott against the meat trust is growing rapidly throughout the country. As a matter of fact the socalled meat trust is much more than that. It is a food trust. The packers who make up the trust have secured control of enough of the fruit, vegetable, butter, egg and fowl supply to enable them to fix the prices consumers must pay for those articles. The bread trust and the fish trust work hand in glove with the packers, and the result is that all persons who do not produce thethings they eat are robbed to the limit. The war of the people against the packers may bring about a little temporary relief, but w’hat is needed is the smashing of the food trust once for all by an honest enforcement of the anti-trust laws. There is much talk about enforcing the liquor laws, the Sunday laws, and such like, but it is about time to think also about the bigger things. So long as the republican party remains in power, however, there is little likelihood that the trusts —even the food trust —will be hurt. After all, the ballot may be more effective than the boycott.

This morning the new motors and machinery recently installed in the new elevator building of the BowersNiblick Grain company, built on the site of the old Niblick elevator on West Monroe street, were set in motion for the testing of the plant. The plant 7s run by electricity and when the button was pressed this morning, the grain was sent running through all the bins, and worked in a very satisfactory manner indeed. This is now one of Decatur's pulsing industries and will be open froth this time on to the public. The plant will be in charge of Robert Case. A large crowd of spectators was a* the building today at the time of the testing, and expressed their admiration for the many excellent features of the plant and for the way in which it is being conducted.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Mrs. A. B. Cunnngharn Will Give Farewell Dinner Sunday. THE PASTIME CLUB With Miss Ehinger—Mr and Mrs. Emerson Elzey Entertain.

Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen. Duty, faith, love, are roots and ever green. —George Peele. Mrs. A. B. Cunningham of west of the city will give a farewell dinner ' Sunday to a number of her neighbor ladles. The Cunninghams will leave I March Ist for their future home near Colfax. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Elzey entertained a company of friends at supper Tuesday evening at their home west of Decatur. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. Henry Zuber of Fort Wayne and Mr. and Mrs. Alva Baker. A merry time over embroidery work, with a delicious lunch afterwards, was enjoyed Tuesday evening by the girls of the Pastime club at the home of Miss Vera Ehinger. One of the prettiest weddings that occurred at St. Marys church for some time was that of this morning, when Miss Rebecca Meyer and Mr. Bernard Kohne were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Miss Anna Meyer, a sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid, while Mr. Tony Kohne, a brother of the groom, acted as best man. The bride wore a beautiful dress of lavendar silk, while her sister was gowned in a lovely silk of pale blue. Father Wilken officiated at the services, using the ring ceremony. After the ceremony they went to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Meyers, where a sumptuous dinner and supper were served to a number of relatives. Both young people are highly respected and have a host of friends in and about the city.

THE UNIQUE CLASS (Continued from page 1.) the thorns, the bread and wine. At present the class is working on fine wall cabinets for their own members and have already finished a number. These cabinets are made o fthe finest oak, with two book shelves and a closed-door cabinet shelf between. They are exquisitely carved in relief, ornamented with pyrography and finished with a brown stain. The doors are hung with brass hinges and finished in brass, and all in all, makes a cabinet worthy of appearing in one of the best homes fn the land. The class has already outlined the work for next year. The specialty for next year will be a "dowery” chest, and the pastor already has the parts made for a sample, which will be completed in about two weeks. The chest is made after the old German style, plain and rich, and large enough to serve as a seat, besides holding the linen, clothing and whatever the owner may desire, and will be by far the best piece attempted by the class. The chest will be of oak, the corners bound with heavy plates of brass, a brass cross for the top, and brass caps for the corners of the lid, adding both strength and beauty. While working on the larger cabinets and pieces, the class also finds time for smaller pieces, such as wood plaques for -hanging on the wall, on which are burned fancy letters, a motto or proverb. The members of the Glass change from time to time —old ones leaving and new ones coming. The class at present includes the following: Misses Emma Heckman, Martha, Eda and Anna Bultemeier, Lydia Getting, Johanna Jaebker, Dora Brandtmueller, Clara Berning, Bertha Zwick and Alvena Mailand, the' girls who do the sketching and pyrography decorating. The boys are: Wood carvers — Martin Heckman, Henry Schoppmann, Fred Berning, Martin Aumann, Theodore Droege, Julius and Paul Scheumann, John Witte; sawyer, Otto Scheumann; piece or cabinet joiners, working with the pastor and teacher, Erhardt Bradtmueller, Herman Mailand, Otto Kleine; hardware , and cabinet finisher, Gustave Fuhrman.

Nearly all the members were present Tuesday evening, with a number of visitors besides. Among the visitors were: Theodore Miller of Milwaukee, Wis., a guest of the pastor; Louise Zwick, Ida and Emma Dirkson, Jessie and Harold Magley. The organization is a most worthy one and a worthy reflection of the great in-

' tereat taken by the pastor in his life work. Rev. Jaus is a man of great refinement, high ideals and earnest endeavor, and by his careful teaching and sympathetic association with the younger people of the church, is drawing them into a firm and close union with that great body of which they will some day be the head. The pastor, working among tne boys and girls at the carpenter tables and work benches, witn here a word of instruction and there a suggestion, and finding time for all this in the midst of the many laborious duties resting upon him as pastor of this large and flourishing parish, is suggestive of nothing so much as a following in the footsteps of the great Master, who also worked at the carpenter’s bench while preparing the way for those about him for entrance into the Eternal Kingdom.

Another very large crowd assembled at the Methodicst church Tuesday evening and a most excellent meeting was enjoyed.
