The Jefferson Day banquet at Indianapolis on the 13th promises' to be the biggest thing of the kind ever held in the state. The republican press of the state is making a rather ridiculous effort to convince somebody that the democrats are going to split into factions over the manner of choosing a candidate for the senate to succeed the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge. The wish, of course, is father to the effort. But it wi’l not be realized. The democrats of Indiana will settle all of their affairs with overwhelming good nature and in the same spirit will find the right man at the right time in the right place to occupy the job which Mr. Beveridge has dallied with for twelve years. A democratic love feast at Garrett yesterday was the means of bringing democrats from every quarter of the Twelfth congressional district. Such a demonstration as this can only mean that the democrats are in the ascendency and that they are going to finish the job begun by the insurgents in the lower house of congress a few weeks ago. A banquet was served and speeches were made, the speakers being Hon. John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, Congressman Cline, Hon. A. A. Adams of Columbia City, Senator Powell of Angola, Hon. T. M. Honan of Seymour, Hon. J. Fred France of Huntington, Senator Fleming of Fort Wayne, and several others. It was a gala day and denoted that the democrats of the Twelfth district are alive and on their toes.

The lecture given Thursday evening at the German Reformed church by the Rev. Diehm of Huntington was a most excellent one, and highly pleasing to the large audience in attendance. The musical part of the program was also well carried out and the evening was one of pleasure to all. TO GIVE CONCERT Decatur Ladies’ and Men’s Choruses to Join Bluffton Choruses.

SOME SOCIAL NEWS M. E .Woman’s Home Missionary Society Holds Annual Electon. SURPRISE PARTIES A Farewell Party Given— Mrs. Brushwiller Enter tains Club. Os all thieves, fools are the worst; they rob you of time and temper. —Goethe. SOCIAL CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Friday. Christian Ladies’ Aid—Mrs. C. E. Jditesman, Saturday. Gleaners —Ireta Erwin. Twenty-six of the members of the Womans Home Missionary society of the M. E. church were in attendance at the meeting at the home of Mrs. John Rex Thursday afternoon, that lady, assisted by Mrs. W. H. Fledderjohann, being the hostesses. The session opened at 2:30, a great many of the members going out on the 2.30 interurban car, through the courtesy of President Fledderjohann. The lesson study was in charge of Mrs. John Peterson, being a continuation of the reading "From Darkness to Light,’’ with readings by Mesdames Dan Sprang, D. D. Heller, F. V. Mills, J. W. Vail, John Niblick. The chief matter of the business session, probably was the annual election of officers. Mrs. John Niblick, who has served so ably as president for four years, was reelected. The new official list is: President —Mrs. John Niblick. Vice President—Mrs. Dan Sprang. Recording and Corresponding Sec retary —Mrs. F. V. Mills. Assistant Secretary — Mrs. Dan Sprang. Treasurer —Mrs. Joe Helm. Assistant Treasurer —Mrs. J. M. Miller. Secretary of Literature —Mrs. David Eley. The society usually meets the first Thursday in the month, but as the time would fall during the conference week at Bluffton, April 6th to lltlh, it was decided to hold it this week.

Misses Mattie Sutileff and Meta Sprunger, who leave during the first part of April for Upland, Cal., where they will make their home, were the guests of honor at a farewell party given last evening by Miss Mary Bogner at her home on West Monroe street. Pedro and other games were enjoyed, after which the hostess, assisted by her sister, Miss Emma, served a luncheon. While an air of regret over the departure of the girls, lingered in the air, they were sped on their way with many good wishes, and the party was a most pleasant one. The Misses Sutileff and Sprunger went to Berne this morning where they will visit before leaving for California, Miss Sprunger will have a farewell party at her home in Berne Tuesday for her friends there, and the Misses Mary Bogner and Rose Ginley from this city will be in attendance. The dinner given Thursday noon by the Presblterian church ladies in the church parlors was one of the most successful, both from a financial and social standpoint, ever given by them. Abount two hundred plates were served during the dinner hour, and the receipts were about forty dollars, with not a penny of expense, and so depleted was the stock of supplies after the dinner hour that no supper, as usual, could be given without a preparation of more, so this was gladly dispensed with. The ladies remained during the afternoon, and a very pleasant social time was spent. The Helping Hand society of the German Reformed church, to the number of twenty or more, spent a busy time at the home of Mrs. O. L. Vance Thursday, where they made bonnets for their sales department and enjoyed a good social time, while their fingers made “helping hands.’’ The collection was quite a good one, increasing the amount in the treasury by the sum of $5.75. The Rev. Diehm of Huntington, who lectured here last night, and the Rev. L. C. Hessert were guests. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer, and th esoclety will probably devote itself to the making of aprons at the next meeting. Henry Eiting, the prominent farmer living southwest of the city, was given a royal surprise party Thursday evening by a host of his neigh-

bors, the occasion being his birthday anniversary. The party gathered at the homes of Andrew Miller and Ben Kohne and then went en masse to the Eiting home. To say that he was surprised would be putting it mildly, but he soon recovered and joined with the others in the good rime. There was music by Miss Mary Eiting and other amusements that passed the hours merrily. Many good wishes for a long and prosperous life were extended to Mr. Eiting. Quite an enthusiastic meeting was held last evening at the home of Mrs. Noah Mangold by the True chapter of the Woman’s League. At present the women have the momentous question of deciding upon the purchase of the lot for the erection of their chatter house, and they are preparing an article for publication, which will fully explain the matter, and enlist the sympathy of the public in aiding them in securing the lot for the building. The session closed with a social time, during which refreshments were served. Margaret, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Moran, is seven years old today and to help celebrate the event about thirty of her little friends have been invited to her home after school hours this evening, where a good time is in store for them. The entertainment program includes outdoor games and frolics, a luncheon and all that go to provide a merry time for little folk. Mesdames John Powell, Jonas Tritch, Milt Hower, Fred Blosser, Dorse Hoagland and Frank Addington of the Fortnight club enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with their sewing at the home of Mrs. Waldo Brushwiller Thursday. A luncheon, tempting and nicely served, was a feature of the entertainment. The Gleanrs will be entertained Saturday afternoon by Miss Ireta Erwin, quite an interesting program having been preparen. The girls are planning for a social to be held next Thursday at the home of Miss Naomi Dugan, further details of which, together with the program to be given, will be published later. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Marhenke went to Fort Wayne this morning to attend a birthday party to be given in celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of their granddaughter, Miss Lizzie Millqr. A large number of Rebekahs of this city are preparing to go with the degree team to Fort Wayne Saturday, where the Decatur ladies will initiate a large class of Fort Wayne candidates. The first meeting of the G. W. C. club girls since Lent was held last evening with Miss Vena Parent, at her home on Adams street. In a series of games flrat prizes were won by Misses Rose Colchin and Anna Ginley and second honors by Misses Liz-

zie Kortenbrer and Edith Erwin. In a guessing congest, in which the number of pieces of candy in a jar were (guessed, the first prize was awarded to Nona Harting. The evening was one of great pleasure to all. Mrs. D. E. Hower of Anderson and Mrs. Sarah Hower, were guests today at dinner of Dal Hower and family. . —o FOR RENT —Five room house on Market street, with all modern conveniences. Enquire of Dyonis Schmitt.
