Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Having tarried in Indiana long enough to put forth the flamboyant statement that ue win carry tne state by "50,000 majority," Senator Beveridge then hiked out for the ‘■NewHampshire hills.” Mr. Beveridge does not stay long at a time in Indiana. When congress is in session he has an official excuse for being in Washington. When congress is not in session he has to go to the "Maine woods" or the "Atlantic coast" or the "New Hampshire hills” to recuperate from his arduous labors. He cannot recuperate in Indiana—not with Jim Watson, ex-Senator Hemenway. exl*D*|s«>vernor Durbin, ex-Vive President Fairbanks and Joe Kealing about. For one reason or another —usually another—the "senior senator" does not stay in Indiana long enough to become used to the climate. After the fourth of next March it will not matter much where Mr. Beveridge lives. The chief Beveridge organ in Indiana is the Indianapolis Star. The Star is in the hands of a receiver while a quarrel is being adjusted, but the ownership of the paper, from latest accounts, rests between that eminent Wallstreeter, Dan Reed, of New York, and that eminent street railway magnate, J. C. Shafer, of Chicago. At any rate the Star is controlled by Beveridge and it sneers voluminouscly at the other republican faction. One of its latest sneers is as follows: "It may be learned from certain of our contemporaries that, while the Beveridge camp in Indiana is delight* ed with the announcement of Roosevelt's coming, in other quarters, •friendly to Taft,’ the news is received with symptoms of alarm. * * All there is to this false and ridiculous cry of alarm consists of personal and factional opposition to Senator Beveridge. These worthies are not animated so much by passionate devotion to President Taft, for most of them opposed him at Chicago in 1908.” And there was more t< the same effect and to the further effect that a republican legislature ought to be

elected so that Beveridge could be sent back to the senate to support Taft's administration, which is rather remarkable. If there is any honesty and straightforwardness in the Beveridge candidacy his friends and newspaper organs are taking great pains to conceal the fact.

Walts of Winchester while visiting relatives in Hartford City, made it known that he is a candidate for the republican congressional nomination in this district. According to the Hartford City Tiines-Ga-zette, Mr. Watts would take the nomination and go on the stump and try to be elected but he is not disposed to get out and make a tight for the nomination, and that he is assured a solid delegation from Randolph, his home county, and has many warm friends iu other counties in the district. — LADELLE AT THE STAR FRIDAY.

Garden flowers, with all their fragrance and beauty of coloring, combined to make the floral decorations of the home most lovely at the shower given Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Fred Heuer at her home on West Monroe street for Miss Nellie Schrock. Sweet peas in many vases on stands and pedestals were the floral keynote of the living room, while bowls of nasturtiums were used in the parlor and [totted ferns and growing plants added their beauty to all the rooms. The guests numbered thirty of the most intimate friends of the bride. After the informal mingling, during which the busyhum of conversation prevailed, Mrs. Heuer brought forth a polished oak box marked “recipes." from w-hica she drew forth ruled cards, giving one to each guest, with the request that she write thereon her favorite recipe, with her autograph. These were then collected and given to Miss Schrock to read, and what was most wonderful no two were alike. There were “true and tried" recipes for cake, bread, jellies, candies, meats, sauces, pastry and every department of cooking, and when filed away In the little box — each in its own department —made r most acceptable gift for the bride-to-be, with its friendly memories that will live in the years to come.

"shower” was carefully hidden away I until later, and when the portiere at the entrance to the dining room was | drawn, and the electric lights therein turned on. they sparkled on a most beautiful scene, all in green and white, cool and inviting colors. At the farthest end of the room, in front of the wide-bowed window, stood a shell case, each shelf lined with w-hite tissue and bearing dainty pots of jellies and jams, cans of fruit of all kinds and 'serves and —everything good made from fruit. Over the shelves was suspended a white parasol. from which to points in the bowed window and the corners of the room were draped white and green crepe paper streamers. Sprays of smilax adorned the chandeliers and a potted dainty green vine formed the centerpiece of the table. Near the case wax placed a chair adorned with a bow of green and white, this place of honor being delegated to the bride-to-be. while she opened gifts, which were daintily tied in white and green tissue, and read therefrom the expressions and best wishes of the donors, many of which were expressed in original and humorous little verses. Luncheon was served in two courses, bearing out the color scheme of white and green in the dainty sandwiches, cooling salads, ices and confections, and the sweet peas, given as favors. The hostess was assisted in serving by the Misses Helen Niblick. Bessie Boyers and Jean Lutz. Out of town guests were Mrs. Otto Haubold of Evanston, 111., and Mrs. Frank Christen of Chicago.
