Allerton, at the age of eighty-two, has relinquished his allegiance to the republican party and has become a democrat. The antagonism of the veteran ranchman, packer, banker, and capitalist has been aroused against the republican party on account of what he terms its tendency toward paternalism and meddling.— Chicago Tribune. Now comes Senator Beveridge who says that he and the president are in accord, and that everything is lovely and the goose hangs high, and that his re-election is all but recorded. Nothing pessimistic about that. The rosy situation is pictured a few days after the republicans in the Fifth district refused to endorse the senator and at which he was alluded to as a party rebel. It is evident that it does not take much to keep the senator’s courage at high water mark. The republican press of the state is now headlining the greatest sensation

of the year, in that the republican organisation is to accept no contributions from corporations. Thia is an

advertising stunt pure and simple. The republican party cannot finance Its campaign without the money of the corporations. The habit is of so long standing that it will not be easy to break away- and they have not the desire to break away. They are good advertisers though. If the gentleman employed by the democratic state committee to write political news from Indianapolis for democratic newspapers confines his efforts to the truth, it will make little difference whether he is a friend of Tom Taggart, Governor .Marshall. John W. Kern or Bill Jones. The important thing is to get facts and reliable information before the readers of democratic newspapers. If he deviates from the truth to the extent the republican correspondent at Indianapolis does, the less writing he does the better. No reputable democratic paper in the state can afford to fill its columns from day to day or week to week with a lot of hot air and speculation, such as characterizes the letters to republican papers in this state. —Columbia City Post. In spite of the fact that the high c6st of living hangs over the country as a very real thing and not a nightmare at all. the last session of congress provided for the expenditure of nearly eleven hundred millions of dollars of taxes to be paid by the people. This is the largest sum ever spent in a single year by any congress, many millions

more. And every dollar of this stupendous sum must be earned by the people in the sweat of their brows before they turn It over to the government. It is much more than double the biggest sum appropriated by a democratic congress during any year of Clevelands administration Even according to Senator Aldrich, a republican, it is at least three hundred millions of dollars more than is necessary for governmental purposes. Ji the republican party, or Its leaders had any regard for the people the burden would have ben reduced instead of being increased. But they have no such regard. Not only were those un necessary millions spent by congress but the new tariff law empowers the trusts to add vastly to the cost of living by the private ’‘protective" tax which they levy in the guise of higher prices.

Monday afternoon at 3 oclock on our national Independence Day, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hoffman in Linn Grove was all ablaze with social mirth, the happy occasion being the marriage of their only daughter. Miss Winona May, to Lawrence L. Yager, son of Mrs. Lena Yager. Rev. W. H. Kat man of the Reformed church here, of which the groom is a member, performed the ceremony. The different rooms of the home were beautifully decorated. Festoonings of crepe paper, flags and baskets of sweet peas decorated the dining room. The bridal altar, above which a wedding bell was suspended, was arranged in the bay window of the library, Relatives of the couple and invited friends were seated in the parlor. Miss Minerva French played a wedding march from Lohengrin, and during the marriage ceremony played softly "Hearts and Powers.” The bride was beautifully dressed in white and the groom wore the conventional black. Following the ceremony and the congraluations a two-course luncheon was served. Both Mr. and Mrs. Yager are well known and highly esteemed young people. Mrs. Yager is a member of the Evangelical church of Linn Grove, an active worker in the Sunday school, and corresponding secretary of the W. C. T. U. of that place. She will be missed in church as we'.l as in social circles. Mr. Yager is a popular young blacksmith of town and holds the office of town clerk. He bas the respect and good wishes of his many Berne friends. The couple left on the day of their marriage tor Grabill with Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Yager in an automobile. From Grabill they leave for Litchfield, 111., where they will spend a few days with the bride’s relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Yager will live with his mother in Berne for some time.—Berne Witness.

Charles Miller of Seventh street passed the fortieth milestone of life on Sunday, July 3rd. and he was reminded of the event by the entire force of the Laman & Lee hardware store, with their families. Those present were Messrs, and Mesdames Sam Laman, W. H. Lee, P. D. Amspaugh. Joseph Keiss, Martin Miller and C. C. Enos. The usual congraulations were extended by Mr. MJller being asked t > take a seat in a fine leather upholstered oak chair, which was presented to him as a memorial of the event; and the dinner set by Mrs. .Millerwell the table was getting tired of bolding the weight of every good thing that mother used to bake —no, not in courses —but the sensible, good, old-go-as-you-please style, with the injunction, “no, don't go hungry.” The sen sational part of the event was chasing Miller over the north end of town, giving him a wheel-barrow ride, and throwing in forty bumps, after whici

Ice cream was served. The good wishes that Mr Miller would enjoy many more such happy events were as numerous as were the guests who participated In the evening's pleasure. Miss Nellie Jane Schrock, a bride of this month, was the guest of honor at a shower given this afternoon at the Dugan home by the Misses Fran ces Dugan, Jean Lutz, Bessie Boyers and Helen Niblick, for whom she has served as chaperon in their camping expeditions for the past several years Guests were the members of the Thimble club with a few others of the intimate friends of the bride, and a very delightful entertainment was provided. Garden flowers, of which there are a great profusion at this season, were used in adorning the home, forming a very pretty setting for this happy pre-nuptial affair. A pleasing little contest was the arrang ing qt a recipe book by the guests which, when completed with the favorite recipes of her friends, was given to the bride-to-be, who no doubt will find it a pleasant memorial in the days to come. The den at the Dugan home was improvised into a fortune teller’s camp, bearing the suggestive sign, ‘‘Dew-drop Inn A tent with camp chairs, a blazing imitation fire under the kettle suspended from its crane, and presided over by Miss Minnie Orvis, in her appropriate garb, as teller of the mystic futures and fortunes of tr,e guests, was a very pleasing and realistic part of the en tertainment. The shower of many useful and beautiful gifts for the new home was given in a beautiful and unique way. The gifts were spread on a table and completely covered with a mantle of sweet peas. Miss Schrock was then given a tiny garden rake and requested to rake from the flower garden its fruitage of gifts. Luncheon in two courses, as pretty to behold as it was appetizing, was served. Out-of-town guests were Mrs. Robert Harding of Fort Wayne. Mrs. Todd of Bluff ton and Miss Cora Barker of Marion Miss Dora Schultz will be hostess to the Christian Woman s Board of Missions Thursday afternoon. The subject for study is, "The Call of Western states. Evangelistic. The Pacific Coast and Foreign Missions. The Bible lesson is the 19th Psalm, and after the prayer and hymn service the following program will be given: Reading —’’The Evangelistic Call of Western States’’ —Mrs. G. T. Burk. Reading—" Our Foreigners on the Pacific Coast’’—Mrs. W. C. McKinney. Reading—“ From the Ranks of the Indifferent” —Mrs. E. H. Shoemaker. Song—" The Ninety and Nine.” Business Session. Miss Agnes Costello pleasantly entertained a company of friends at her home on Third street Sunday afternoon for several out-of-town guests. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were enjoyed there, and later the party drove to a grove south of the city, where a general good time was enjoyed, together with a lunch provided by the hostess.
