THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN MEAGER Spitzer, a dock superintendent, and four $lB-a-week checkers employed by the sugar trust have been sent to the penitentiary by the United States government on account of custom house frauds that netted the men “higher up" in the trust of millions of dollars. The “higher up" men have not. been prosecluted or even investigated. Speaking of the scandal the Indianapolis News says: "Certainly the results of this sugar trust inquiry have thus far been meager and disappointing. The men who really profited -by the frauds are still untouched. We do not know how It was that nothing w r as done to stop the frauds, though the attention of the government was called to them time and again during the late administration. We do not know what it was that Secretary Shaw meant when he said, when appealed to In behalf of old man Corsa, that his “hands were tied.” However, Spitzer and four of the little fellows are to sweat for the crimes which were committed to increase the dividends out of which the Havemeyer and other fortunes have been built up. The underlings did only what they knew they were expected to do, even if not formally instructed to do. No one supposes that any specific instructions to steal from the government were given by those in high authority. Such things are ■.tot done in that way. But we may be sure that those in charge of the

weighing of sugar made it very plain to the little fellows that they were to beat the government, for if it had not been so the »18-a-week checkers would have had no reason to do what they did. It was ail for the trust, all for dividends. The men who get the money go free, while those who earned it for them Pt such terrible cost go to the penitentiary. It seems to us that congress ought to look into tills whole business.” , uu-iusa ■ i i hi PUBLIC SALE.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Mite Box Opening at Home of Mrs. Henry Krick This Evening. A GOOD PROGRAM Monroe Woodmen Given Surprise of Their Lives— Farewell for Arnolds. The Pythian Sisters devoted the morning at the Home to washing the dishes and putting things “to right," and they found they had so much of the good things left from last night's supper that they invited their husbands and children to take dinner with them, and then spent the remainder of the afternoon, washing and putting away the dishes again. About fory-seven men, women and children sat down to the tables and enjoyed the spread. Misses Anna McLean and Jessie McLean will be entertained Sunday at the DeWeese home at Hesse Cassel. The Euterpean club met last evening with Miss Bess Schrock, where the study of Wagner’s opera was enjoyed. Two evenings will be devoted to this, last evening being the study of the opera itself, and the next meeting, to the music. Mrs. E. B. Adams had charge of the program. Mr. and Mrs. William Arnold, residing southeast of Decatur, who will soon move to their new home west of Peterson, were given a farewell party by about sixty of their neighbors and friends last Tuesday evening, who, although they regret to have them leave their community, wish for them happiness and prosperity in their new home. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John W. Meyers, James, Mary and Clyde Myers, Etta Mallonee, Orval France, Henry and Elizaebth Graber, Anna .Hizey, Mr. and Mrs. Wash Miller, Pearl Mary, Frances, Lewis, Howard and Ralph Miller, Verna and Homer Raudenbush, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Johnson and children.

a jolly valentine surprise at the close of their session Monday by eighteen of the Royal Neighbors, who had masked and were on hand to rush in upon the Woodmen at the close of the session. To say that the Woodmen were Surprised, would be putting it too mildly—they simply lost their heads but found them in time to enjoy the pop-corn and taffy that were served during the evening, which was replete with all that goes to make a good time. The members of the Thimble club, with Mrs. Brackett and her guest, Mrs. George Flanders, Mrs. J. H. Heller and Mrs. H. R. Moltz, as guests, were pleasantly entertained Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Roy Archbold. Twenty young folk from this city will enjoy a bobsled ride to the Boknecht home seven miles northeast of this city in Allen county, where they will be entertained by Ed Boknecht. Mrs. Harve Smith of North Ninth street will this evening entertain at 6 o'clock dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry White of Rudley, Cal.; Mrs. T. A. Gottschalk of Berne and the Misses Jessie and Nellie Winnes of this city. ENJOYED AT LAFAYETTE. Music lovers enjoyed a rare treat at Fowler hall last evening, when Skovgaard, the celebrated Danish violinist, appeared op the Purdue University entertainment course and delighted his auditors with the charming melody that poured forth from his matchless instrument. Skovgaard has a sympathetic touch that has led him to be called the Danish Ole Bull, and, indeed, his music is said to greatly resemble that o fthe original Ole Bull. He injects personality into his touch and his temperament is reflected in his splendid interpretation of masterpieces. In his double stop work he is wonderful, it being doubtful if any living artist surpasses him in this respect. But above all Skovgaard does not rely upon technique for artistic success. There is beautiful coloring in every line of his music and it touches the heart strings just as truly and effectively as the bow of the master plays upon the strings of the violin. —Courier.
