J. H. HELLER, Manager. IT LOOKS LIKE A HOPELESS TANGLE Not since the republican party was organized fifty-four years ago have the Indiana members of It been in such a hopeless tangle as they are today. This is admitted by influential men representing the different factions. In the interest of Senator Beveridge's candidacy for re-election, many of the republican papers of the state have announced their opposition I to the tariff measure which the na- i tional leaders of the party are deter-t mined to uphold. Other papers ac- ■ cept President Taft’s statement that' the tariff law is all right. The state | committee which was elected to suit! Mr. Beveridge must make either an J “insurgent” or a “regular" campaign. I If It does the former it will offend a powerful element. If it does the latter, it leaves its chief candidate with no leg to stand on, and will, besides, be guilty of the grossest treachery. And yet it must perforce do one thing or the other, if it means to be honest. Any straddling of the situation will convince the people that spoils of office and not principle are the things most revered. There is also doubt and confusion about the party attitude on other questions. As a resu’t there are a few men on th estate enough to seek places on the state ticket. The state convention is admittedly to be as tame an affair as careful planning can make it. If possible, everything is to be agreed on in advance of the coming of the dele-' gates, who will be expected to ratify

HAT TALK The Right Hat For Every Man How many times you hear a man say, “A hat is the hardest thing I have to buy; when I try on none of them seem to look well on me". Os course such feeling is natural if one change from Stiff hat to a Soft hat, or even if one makes a radical change in a stiff hat. But Here so man y shapes from which to select, that every man can get the right hat, and get it quickly and quietly.

the program arranged by the manai gers. So inert and lacking in vitality t and spirit is the present situation that leading republicans like ex-Senator Hemenway declare that they shall not attend the convention, while oth--1 ers, If they are on hand, will feel like ’ walking from the party fireside. What ; can such a condition portend If not a i complete rout at the polls? i The charges of corruption and brib- ’ ery Involving prominent republican . politicians in New York has added to ‘ the general alarm in the party, not only in that state, but throughout the country. But it is quite often the case that troubles do not come singly. With the republicans they are com--1 Ing in bunches. IL IXJIU - — George Ade, whose reputation as a I humorist was already pretty well es- ' tablished, has added something to it I by telling the people “down east" that ' the republican prospects in Indiana are bright. Nobody but George would have thought such an extremely funny . thought. .■ BLI. — 111 TT! REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

SOME SOCIAL NEWS Touches of St. Patrick’s Color Featured Social Events Yesterday. A DINNER PARTY Given by Mesdames Champer and Niblick —Mrs. Sellemeyer Sntertains. The Holy Supper is kept, indeed, In whatso we share with another's need; Not what we give, but what we share, — For the gift without the giver is bare. Who gives himself with his alms, feeds three, — Himself, his hungering neighbor and Me. —Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal. Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Barnhart, who are moving today to this city, where they will make their home, after ten or twelve years' residence southwest of the city, were given a farewell party by their neighbors and friends of that vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart were visiting during the evening at a neighbor's, and while gone the party assembled at their home, and with lights turned low and voices hushed awaited the arrival of the two, who had been summoned home on some pretext or other. The surprise was complete. The evening was spent socially, refreshments were served and best wishes extended. Mrs. Wesley Peterson and Miss Emily Barnhart from this city were in attendance.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Snyder on Ninth street was a most hospitable one for the Friendly Fewclub, which met there yesterday afternoon to spend the hours with their embroidery and chatting. Mrs. Joseph Stevens will entertain the club, which does not meet again until two weeks. About forty-five ladies of the Helping Hand and Aid societies of the German Reformed church found conveyance in busses and carriages to the home of Mrs. Herman Sellemeyer, south of the city yesterday, where taey w-ere royally entertained by that lady, asssisted by her daughters, Mrs. N. E. Vitz of Defiance. Ohio, and Miss Matilda Sellemeyer. The collection was quite a good one, the harvest being $8.50 from the Aid and $2.50 from the Helping Hand. The Aid planned to hold a birthday social March 30th, at the home of Mrs. C. Vogt, each attendant to .bring a penny for each year of his life. After the business period a social time was spent and a luncheon was served. St. Patrick's day was quite universally observed by the wearing of the green. Embroidery made busy fingers of the Fortnight club at the home of Mrs. Milt Hower yesterday afternoon, the meeting proving most pleasant. The luncheon served carried out the color scheme of green, in honor of the day, and green flags were gtv en as souvenirs. Mrs. Guy Johnson will be hostess in two weeks. Miss Maud Magley, mail carrier on Route 8, was most royally entertained at a chicken dinner yesterday noon by HMrs. Louisa Krick, one of the many kind patrons of the route, the dinner being a sumptuous one served in Mrs. Krick’s inimitable style.

The members of the Lafolette club found themselves cozily at home last evening with one of their members, Mrs. Harve Smith, of Tenth street, where the evening hours were spent over embroidery work, with laughter, conversation and good cheer as their name implies. In a candy contest, in which queries were answered with appropriate names of candies, Miss Neil Winnes won first honors —a box of bonbons —and Mrs. Orville Harruff the booby prize. Refreshments were served during the evening and small Irish flags were given as favors. Those in attendance were the Misses Nell and Jessie Winnes, Della Harruff, Agnes Krick, Fanny Rice and Mesdames John Parrish, Orville Harruff, Louis Dolch and Dallas Butler.

One of the very delightful informal dinners was that given yesterday noon by Mrs. Catherine Champer and Mrs. John Niblick at the Niblick home. Plates were laid for twelve at the table in the dining room, which was very pretty In its decorations in honor of St. Patrick's day. A brass dish in which grew dainty ferns, surrounded with green Irish flags, adorned the center of the table, and at each plate lay a green carnation, which were worn by the ladies during the afternoon. Places were found by St. Patrick postcards, lying at the plates, addressed one to each guest. Each postcard was different and represented the various customs, features and traditions of Erin. Accompanying each postcard was a humorous Irish anecdote and these witticisms were read aloud between the courses of the four-course dinner that was served. Good cheer reigned and lengthened the dinner hour, until 2 o'clock, after which the ladies busied themselves with their sewing. Guests were Mesdames Victoria Hill, Rout, Schirmeyer, Dorwin, Dugan, J. C. Patterson, Robert Case. W. J. Meyers, Sherman Powell, DeVilbiss and A. R. Bell.

DAVID FLANDERS. 66t6 — o ROOT JUICT ACCOMPLISHING GREAT THINGS Source of Great T r ouble Removed in a Short While. Every now and then we hear of some great cure Root Juice has made. Many heart-felt testimonials, which are being heceived by the Root Juice people are similar to the following; “I suffered for the past two years with the most aggravated form of nervousness, was unable to sleep and my stomach was a source of constant remedy, but was not able to obtain the slightest relief, until I purchased a bottle of Root Juice. I have used three bottles and can truthfully say that it has benefltted me more than all of the other medicines. I now enjoy healthful sleep, am able to eat, without the slightest distress and can do my own housework.” (Signed) MRS. 8 B. HYLAND, 107 Helock Ave., Kane, Pa. Root Juice is doing so much good and has become so popular with the hundreds of people it has cured that the demand for the remedy has become so great it has become almost impossible for the manufacturers to fill the orders. No one who suffers with indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous weakness, liver and kidney troubles and rheumatism should hesitate going to the Holthouse drug store and hear what the many local people, who have used the great remedy, have said about it. o — FOR RENT —One good house on Johns street, two square from court house.

HEARD BY MANY J. C. Nayphe Prevailed Upon to Give Another Lecture This Evening AT THE M. E. CHURCH Gave Excellent Lecture Last Night on Customs of the Orient. The many who attended the lecture of the Rev. J. C. Nayphe of Louisville. Ky., at the Methodist church last evening were so well pleased with it that they have prevailed upon his giving another lecture this evening, to which the public is cordially invited. The Rev. Nayphe was born in Athens, of Jewish race, was reared in Palestine, and educated in America. He has been converted to Christianity and has entered the Methodist ministry. He is a man of wonderful power and personality and will prove an effective missionary in carrying the gospel to his race and others. His address last evening told of his difficulties in learning the English language, the customs of the orient, and especially of oriental wedding. His subject this evening will be, “From Dan to Beersheba," and among other things he will tell of the conversion of himself and family, of Mohammedan and Jewish customs, and of the lamentations of the Jews over their ruined temple. He spoke this morning to the students of the Decatur high school. The lecture this evening will be fifteen cents for adults and ten cents for school children. The service will open promptly at 8 o'clock.

Wells county has asked for nothing for years and it is believed that with a large democratic majority, such as this county always rolls up, there will be no trouble in getting the convention to nominate Mr. Dailey if he will permit his name to be used. —Bluffton Banner.
