They have ample accommodations for visitors counted by the hundreds, besides they show their hospitality by entertaining in that city in a real hospitable way. All this helps Fort Wayne and will soon make that city tne best known of all convention cities. The republican press of the state arc grieved, and we take it that they are painfully grieved. The chief cause of their grief comes in the endorsement of Hon. John W. Kern for senator, the endorsement being given by the democrats of Indiana in • a democratic convention. They, a pretending temperance party, charge Mr. Kern with the grave offense of defying the brewers of Indiana. Serious, isn’t it? In our humble judgment it will pay them to look more into the brand of temperance as practiced by Senator Beveridge, and less into the public record of Mr. Kern.

A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE Bishop Alerding of Fort Wayne Administered — Excellent Sermon. Sunday was confirmation day at St. Marys church and the day was most fittingly observed. A class of seventy young boys and girls and one adult received the sacrament, which was a very beautiful service. The altars were beautifully decorated for the day with potted plants and ferns and with the illumination of many electric lights made it a very pretty sight. Confirmation was administered at the 10 o'clock mass by Bishop Herman Joseph Alerding of the Fort Wayne diocese and was assisted by his secretary, Rev. Father William Miller, also of Fort Wayne. The mass was celebrated by Father Flaherty, during which a sermon on the sacrament was delivered by the bishop, giving those present a much clearer idea of confirmation. The bishop was also assisted during the services by Father Wilken, who aoted as master of ceremonies. In the afternoon vesper services were held at 3 o’clock, followed with May devotions and the beuedic- . tion.

FORCE ENTRANCE • ■ Burglars Knock Pane of Glass From Berling Produce Co. Building. AND RANSACK HOUSE Steal Six Cases of Eggs, Rain Coat, Horse Blanket —Boat Missing. One hundred dollars is the reward offered by Joseph Berling for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who made their entrance into the Berling Produce company’s building Sunday night and made away with several cases of eggs. When Mr. Berling went to his place of business this morning he noticed at once that something unusual had taken place and a little search revealed the fact that some one had entered during the night and carried away six cases of eggs, one rain coat and a horse blanket. They made their entrance through one of the buildings near the front of the building by taking out a window pane, and the manner in which the work was done showed that they were not slow at it either. The back door was unlocked this morning, showing their way of escape. A boat belonging to Ansel Bremerkamp, was also stolen from behind the Bremerkamp mills, and it is thought that they may have made their escape down the river. The front office was also ransacked, the burglar going through the desk and drawers, but nothing was missing therefrom. Quite a bit of this work has been going on lately, as it has been only a week or so since the Peter Mougey blacksmith shop was broken into and also the Hale warehouse. A good search is being made for the miscreants and if caught will pay dearly for their work.

TO RAISE $3,000 THIS WEEK. Indiana University Y. M. C. A. Have Big Task on Their Hands. The Y. M. C. A. of Indiana university at Bloomington has begun a campaign which is unique in the fact that it is the first time that such a thing has ever been tried at a college. Under the leadership of John R. Voris, who has recently taken charge of the work at the state school, an attempt is being made-to raise a budget of $3,000 this week. May 9th to 15th. TBls budget is to be used in various ways, but the money is all to return, indirectly to the students of the university. It will pay the expenses of a numer of famous speakers who have been engaged for the coming school year. It will finance various social entertainments which the asso elation is planning and will put un der way a number of improvements which will be of great benefit to the student body. A committee of .sixty men are to do the work, which will be very systematic. A huge clock on the campus will give the amount raised each date as well as the work of the individual members. At noon on all six days, the members of the committee will assemble at the university for luncheon and a discussion of the progress of the movement. It Is the intention to raise SI,OOO from the students, as much from the townspeople and the faculty, and the same amount from the alumni. The ministers of the city are giving the canvass their earnest support for the Y. M. C. A. will be the arm of the federated churches in the school. A committee of the ministers has adopted the program, which is a very excellent one. Secretary Voris, who originated the rapid canvass, is a graduate of the Chicago university

divinity school, a man who has had considerable Y. M. C. A. experience in Chicago and New York., and a good booster. He is a lecturer on Biblical literature, and as such is a member of the faculty of the state institution: it is really an experiment to have the secretary also a faculty man, but it

looks like it would succeed. The fact that the money raised will be used for the benefit of the entire student body has inspired the belief that the task, gigantic as it is. can be accomplished and the students are working very hard to accomplish their end.
