Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Hancock county of the Eighth district would sound odd. At that it must be a pretty good locality where they can raise such democrats as Stokes Jackson and Harry Strickland. According to the latest dope the Eighth district will be a sort of a shoe string affair reaching from the state line down to Greenfield, but at that John Adair can get over it if he wants to, and the fellow from Hancock or Blackford who tries to overtake him can make up his mind that he will have to go some. So far the local option election has not caused any riots, in fact up to now, it would be impossible to tell that such a battle is on. It is to be hoped that the question will be disposed of in a sane manner. An important question is best decided after sober thought and much of it, has been devoted to IL The outlook for Decatur for the approaching season was never brighter than right now. At this time a half dozen buildings of considerable proportions are being considered and will probably be erected, including a new school building, a model factory building, a business t>lock and some other

Let's be ( friendly and help each other. i ■ By a vote of ninety to twenty-two 1 the democratic members of the house of representatives decided Monday night to support the president’s agree- ’ ment with Canada. The action of the : caucus was then made unanimous. * Doubtless this is good politics, but it is much more than that. For the ac- . ti<m of the caucus is wholly in the in- , terest of the country. If by supporting that interest wins a party advantage that is as it should be. Nor is it ■ a question solely of party politics. For the reciprocity policy is not whol- , ly democratic or republican. As far as it means freer trade it points in the direction of the democratic faith. But it should not be forgotten that the re- . publicans have also declared for lower duties and freer trade. What we have, therefore, is an arrangement which can, with good conscience, be supported by men of all parties without any surrender of party principle. That the democrats take this view is made clear in the caucus resolution. —Indianapolis News. PUBLIC SALE.

Forty of the Young People’s Alliance of the Evangelical church with their friends were entertained in a most charming way last evening by Miss Orpha Sheets at the home of Miss Gusta Cramer. A contest in which half of a verse of the Bible was given each, who was then required to complete it, was unusually interesting and instructive, and another in which the names of insects and other things were formed by decapitating words, was unusually entertaining. Recitations by Crystal Kern, Cleo Roop, George Cramer, Lynn Kern and Lawrence Linn added much pleasure to the evening’s program. A large number of the members of the German Reformed Christian Endeavor society attended the business meeting at the home of Rev. and Mrs. L. C. Hessert Tuesday evening. Following the regular business period, were entertaining amusements. A number of words were given out from which couplets and short stories were formed and these were then read aloud much to the satisfaction of all. Other games, including a peanut carrying contest, and music, were in order. Rev. Kattman of Berne was a guest. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Meibers were among the guests at the wedding fes-' tivities attending the marriage of Miss Bubb, daughter of Mr. Andrew Bubb, of Nine Mile, to Mr. Sorg, both well known young people of that vicinity.

Ebendick and son, Herman, from Detroit, Mich., who are here for a visit with her mother, Mrs. W. H. Horstmeyer, in Ft. Wayne. One of the pleasant social affairs of Tuesday evening was the 6 o’clock dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schafer at the Murray hotel in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Schlice of Philadelphia, Pa. The event was a happy one and besides the out-of-town guests the Misses Anna, Nellie and Jessie Winnes were in attendance, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Schlice are visiting while in the city. After the dinner the guests went to the Schafer home on Monroe street, where the evening was spent in a pleasant way. Mr. and Mrs. Schlice will remain here for some time, and will then visit Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Miller at Muncie, and later with other relatives in Ohio, before proceeding to their eastern home. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Cline, east of the city, was a scene of good cheer Tuesday evening, a number of friends coming in for a social time. The party included Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Chrisenberry and son, Frank; Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dibble and daughter, Blanche; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Morris and daughter, Lucile. Refreshments concluded the evening's entertainment. Mrs. J. M. Miller, who has been confined to the house for some time on account of a broken limb, was given a merry little surprise Tuesday evening by the members of the Orient club. Conversation and various social diversions, with refreshments, were items of the evening's pleasures. Martin Miller was given a birthday surprise dinner, the party including hi* co-worekrs at the Laman & Lee hardware store with their wives. He was presented with a handsome rocker as a token of their esteem. The Priscilla Girls enjoyed a very good time Tuesday evening, and the next meeting will be with Miss Edith Miller next Monday evening. The Historical club spent a profitable evening with Mrs. Congleton. The study was of Grant’s administra-. tion and a very good paper on the subject was prepared and read by Mrs. James Fristoe, who is at borne for a few days from Warsaw. The Black Rag club will be entertained Friday evening of this week by Miss Marie Patterson, Miss Paterson exchanging dates with Mrs. Burt Mangold, who was prevented from entertaining by illness. o — COMING THEIR WAY. The movement of the postofflce men for the closing of the postofflce on Sundays and allowing the carriers and clerks a day or rest like other men, has been meeting with much success, and the desired result looks very favorable. Talking to one of the carriers today he stated that ninety-seven per cent of the people signed the thousand cards distributed throughout tne city, asking that the men be allowed their freedom on Sunday. They believe their request will be granted. __ DEMOCRAT WANT ADS’ PAY BIG.
