SEVERAL VARIETIES OF REPUBLICAN GROUCHES One of the many industries of leading republican newspapers these days is that of conducting voting contests to find out how wide apart various republican elements are and how unpopular different republican leaders and measures have become. One of the largest of these undertakings has just been brought to a successful close by the Chicago Tribune, the leading republican newspaper in the middle west. Several thousand votes cast by republican editors in many states were received and canvassed and the results duly announced. More kinds of trouble are shown than one would care to shake a stick at Knocks are administered to almost everybody and everything conspicuous in republican affairs. Irritants and counter-irritants are found in profusion. In Indiana thirty-three republican editors stand up boldly for Cannon, while all the others vote just as boldly against him. Fifty-seven of them endorse the Ald-rich-Cannon tariff law, while the rest pf the bunch are against—largely, it it suspected, out of deference to that consistency which support Mr. Bev-

Although a resident here for twenty-five years this is the first time that Mr. Reicheldeffer was ever called upon to act in the capacity of a juror. If he is as good a juror as he is a booster for the traction line, his future is great. C. L. Love and wife of Ceylon were shopping in Geneva Friday.

THE SOCIALITES Sleghing Parties Are in Season—Surprise Given for Irene Meyers. FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Will be Celebrated by Christian Ladies’ Aid—Ed Boknecht Entertians. The hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krick on Mercer avenue was thronged with about seventy guests last evening, the occasion being the services attending the annual opening of the mite boxes of the Woman's Home Missionary society, each lady putting in her mite box during the year her contributions representing some free will offering or sacrifice, which sums when taken out of the boxes at the end of the year are given into the general fund of the society. The devotional service opening the meeting, was conducted by Mrs. Emma Daniel, after which came the opening address by Mrs. John Niblick, and discussions on the following subjects: "The Slave Trade: Difficulties Attending the Civilization of the Negro," Mrs. John Parrish; "Plantation Life,” Mrs. John Peterson; "Domestic Service: Duties and Responsibilities of the Mistress,” Mrs. F. V. Mills; "Evangelization: Methods of Work,” Mrs. William Nachtrieb. These talks were interspersed with songs by the company, the men's chorus and the male quartet, a solo by Mrs. J. O. Sellemeyer, piano duet by Misses Lillian Rice and Neva Brandyberry. Mrs. W. J. Meyers was the leader of the meeting. The collection was taken by Misses Veda Hensley and Winifred Ellingham, and the mite boxes were opened at the close of the program. Not all the boxes were reported at Friday evening's meeting, so it is not known just what the total amount of the offering will be. Following this period, refreshments were served and the meeting is reported as one of the best of these annual events.

A very happy surprise was that given Friday evening for Miss Irene Meyers at her home south of the city, the event being in the nature of a farewell for Miss Irene, who the first of the week is to enter the Hope hospital nurse’s training school at Fort Wayne to become a nurse. The party was arranged by her sister, Miss Vera, the guests being about thirty of the members of the Epworth League of the Methodist church, of which Miss Irene is an active member. The party met at the home of John Meyers on Fourth street, where a bob sled was waiting to convey them to the Meyers farmhouse south of the city. The ride in itself was a pleasant one, but a more enjoyable time was awaiting them at the Meyers homestead, with all kinds of games and delightful music to enliven the hours, with appetizing refreshments at the close. That Miss. Irene may find abundant success in her new life work upon which she is about to enter was the wish of all. Those present were; Misses Grayce Purdy, Dessie Mann, Agnes Glllig, Lucile Gillig, Flora Fledderjohann, Irene Smith, Alice Daily, Florien Edwards, Nellie Nichols, Marie Heckman, Ethel Butler, Stella Chronister, June Knoff, Josephine Krick and Hulda Loser, and Messrs. Charles Brock, Don Burk, Sherman Beery, Fred Smith, Don Smith, Frank Mills, Paul Harrod, Charley Brodbeck, Gregg Neptune, Virgil Krick, Alfred Jenis, Lawrence Archbold, Craley Stultz. Miss Fern DeLong will arrive this evening from Greentown and will be the guest of the Misses Madge Hite and Zoa Miller over Sunday. The lirtevary exercises conducted Friday afternoon by the Decatur high school, to which the G. A. R. and W. R. C. were invited as honored guests, were very good, and the attendance of the members of these two organizations was large. Twenty boys and girls met Friday evening at the home of Miss Vera Hunsicher, where a big and roomybobsled was waiting to take them to the Boknecht home in Allen county, at which hospitable farmhouse Ed Boknecht, a former school mate of the happy party, did the honors as host. Os course all the games which hold sway at a cheery gathering of this kind wore called forth and music and a luncheon added to the further enjoyment of all, characterizing Ed as a host without an equal. Then came the ride back to town again, and a

jollier, happy party than this would be hard to find anywhere. To meet her sister, Mrs. J. H. (Robinson, of Canton, Ohio, who is visiting here, Mrs. L. E. Steele invited a number of friends to spend Friday evening at their home on Third street "Five Hundred” was the much enjoyed game, honors in which were won by Mrs. George Flanders and Dr E. G. Coverdale. The party included, other than the guest of honor, Messrs, and Mesdames C. A. Dugan, Earl Adams, L. G. Ellingham, C. C. Schafer, J. H. Heller, Roy Archbold, George Flanders, John Peterson, M. E. Brackett and their guests, Mrs. Teller of Chicago and Miss Holden, Mrs. Don Quinn, Mrs. Fanny Cole, Miss Bess Schrock, Will Schrock and Dr. E. G. Coverdale. The members of the Christian Ladies' Aid society were entertained Friday afternoon by Mrs. Jacob Eady of 10th street. Among other things plans were furthered for the holding of the "white sale” some time during the week before Easter. It was also decided to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the organization of the society, which occurs March 20th, with an evening session at the home of Mrs. C. J. Weaver. A committee on arrangements, comprising Mesdames Williams, Snyder, Helm, Shoemaker and Artman, was appointed and will look after the entertainment in detail. Mrs. C. E. Hitesman was a new member identifying herself with the society Friday. Following the business session refreshments, consisting of ham sandwiches, pickles, cake and coffee, were served. A right jolly time was spent by the members of the U. 8. A. club who were entertained last evening by the Misses Mary Frisinger and Ruth Hammell at the Frisinger home, where grimes, music and a luncheon provided a good time until their departure at 10 o'clock. Those who shared the pleasures of the evening were Leah Hensley, Edwina Van Camp, Otis Poling, Paul Van Camp, Gladys and Crystal Kern, Walter Stetson, Leon Radamacker, Frances Ward, Jennie Long, Dwight Peterson, Kenyon Walters, Eola Gentis. Mrs. W. F. Bieneke delightfully entertained the Ladies' Aid society of the St. Luke Reformed church Thursday. Mrs. Bieneke, assisted by her daughter, Marie, served a bountiful dinner at 12 o’clock, which was greatly appreciated by all, and the ladies spent the afternoon quilting. The members of the society present were Mesdames Marcus Jahn, Alfred Reppert, Herman Yake, Henry Hilgie, Frank'Yager, Henry Borne, Sadie Presdorf and Miss Lulu Jahn, with the following other guests: Mesdames James Brown, Ed Zimmerman, W. Dettinger, Jacob Barger, Jacob Borne, John Borne, Mrs. Ed Luttman of Magley, Mrs. Henry Schlickman of Decatur. They all voted Mrs. Bienke an entertainer of the best kind. o MRS. BAUMGARTNER IS BETTER. Mrs. Paul Baumgartner, who fell from the mow of the barn at their home in St. Marys township Thursday afternoon, and lay in a helpless condition for two hours, in the cold, is somewhat better. Her shoulder, left hip and back were badly sprained in the fall, and she is still almost completely helpless, except that she was able to move one arm today, which is somewhat more encouraging. It is not thought that she will suffer any ill effects from the exposure, though It* is rather too soon to determine the real extent of her injuries. o WANTED —To trade lot In Decatur for horse.

ADOPT NEW PLAN Library Board Will Add a Self Sustaining Shelf of Latest fiction. MET LAST EVENING Books Will be Purchased Next Week —New Addition to Juvenile Table. The library board held an interesting meeting Friday evening in the library hall, heard the various reports of the departments, with which they were well pleased and discussed many other business matters. The board has adopted a flew plan, by which the latest fiction can be supplied and the books of the library increased, with ultimately no expense to the library. It has been deemed advisiable to do this on the plan of the circulating library—purchase a number of books of the very latest fiction, for which aSsmall rental fee will be charged, uptil the cost of the books has been recovered, the books then reverting to the regular shelves of the library, and the money thus used to be taken from time to time for the purchase of new books. The purchase will be made next week. The juvenile reading table is indebted to Mrs. Dan Erwin for a year’s subscription to tnat most popular of all children’s magazines—The Youth’s Companion. Miss Nellie Blackburn, the assistant librarian, who has charge of the library on Sundays, has been unable to serve for several weeks on account of rheumatism. Sne shows no great improvement and will be unable to serve again tomorrow.
