Cox to succeed himself on the Hartford City school board gives entire satisfaction to the patrons and school officials. Mr. Cox has proven an excellent trustee, who is interested in the success of the schools. His business capacity and knowledge of up-to-date educational work has contributed much to the other forces that have made Hartford City's schools the best of any city of equal population in the state. The f city council could not have made a more popular selection than Mr. Cox nor a more competent one. —Hartford City Times-Gazette. 1 1 ■' "j In an interview in Chicago, Governor Marshall truly said that nearly all of the economic evils of the present day have sprung from the tariff. As to the issue on that subject, he said: “If the people want a tariff that means the growth of protected interests and not a tariff that means revenue for the government, they must decide it. That is the issue. The democrats must fight on this line and not waste their energies in a multitude of other questions." As the people are now thoroughly awake to the evils of republican tariff legislation, there can be no doubt as to their decision when next they get a chance to make it known. The Indianapolis Star has been deceived by a lying correspondent here connected with one of the local newspapers and notorious for that kind of proficiency, who telegraphs that unsuspecting and easily deceived paper that the convention in Huntington strongly approved the Payne tariff bill.

The convention, as the resolutions show, approved the protective principle and declared that the present law was not all that could be desired on the subject. No resolution endorsing the Payne law could have gone through, because that would have been an indirect attack on the senator from Indiana, and Huntington county will not stand for that. —Huntington Herald. Just a little more evidence that the republican party of Indiana are of several minds. It is also a little more evidence that the conspiracy against Senator Beveridge is real, and that he has a rocky road to travel in this campaign for re-election. In nearly every coqnty where the republicans hold county conventions the two elements of the party clash, and as the campaign gets older they will clash more and the real division become the more evident.

About thirty members of the local lodge of the Knights of Columbus went to Fort Wayne Sunday, where they attended the initiatory work given to a class of fift-nine candidates, forty-eight being from Port Wayne, No. 451, and eleven from surrounding towns. The degree work was given by the Fort Wayne council for the first and second degrees and Richmond put on the third, and it was the best work witnessed in the lodge for some time.

The first degree was given in the morning and the second and third in the afternoon. The rest of the day was given over to the en tertainment of the out-of-town visiters and in the evening a banquet was (Continue don page O

The dining room, where two long tables were spread with a sumptuous supper beyond all description, was beautiful with its decorations of carnations and ferns, while the living rooms were adorned with roses and sweet peas. These were twined about the chandeliers or set in vases everywhere. The Rev. Jaus of St. Johns gave an appropriate address of congratulation and good wishes for this couple, and music was furnished by the Misses Emma and Pauline Heckman, who are quite famous little musicians. The esteem of those present was manifest in no small degree in the number of beautiful presents lavished upon Mr. and Mrs. Heckman, together with many good wishes. The event was a most happy one and will be remembered long by those fortunate enough to be present. The miscellaneous shower given for "Miss Marry’ Mumma" Saturday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reisen Mumma, on Fifth street, was a happy one, about forty or fifty of her relatives and friends attending. The guests were given a surprise, however, when the bride and her affianced, David Cook, descended the stairway together and took their places under the archway, which was beautifully decorated with flowers, and the bride’s brother, Roy Mumma. then stepped forward, holding in his hands a marriage certificate from which he read to the surprised assembly that the young couple were already husband and wife, the marriage having taken place April 30th at Kalamazoo. Mich. This little surprise, however, added pleasure to the occasion and after congratulations and best wishes were showered upon the bride and groom, a more substantial shower in the form of the great varie-
