Entered at the poetofflee at Decatur, Indiana, as aecoad-claas mail matter. The Mexican war is beginning to ! get a little serious. The time is ap- j proaebing when American boys will ■ probably be sent across the border line, some of them never to return. The step is one which many believej : could be avoided and If our soldiers are sent to their death in the south- | era republic, some one is going to be | held accountable therefor. The fight for the Indiana plums t seems finally to have ended. Bob , Hanna, a standpatter, wont at Fort , Wayne and Luster Roush, an anti- | Beveridge, defeated D. H. Swalm at Bluffton. It is supposed to have ! been a compromised distribution, but like all such passing around affairs, , will leave Its sore spots. It's but the., ] fortunes of political war. ! 1 — — 1 J. Kirby Risk, of Lafayette, an old- 5 line “boss" in the democratic ranks of Indiana, touched Decatur today in j his hustle for business. He is a Bry- i an man. one of the kind who voted 1 for him three times and wants to live long enough to vote for him as many more times as he can be induced to j run. Just now he insists that it is i the duty of Wilson, Kern, Marshall, 1 ( Clark and the other big ’uns, to get behind Bryan and repay him for the ' j work he has done as the father of the ', new political doctrine. , j Indiana democrats are getting ready l for the 1912 campaign. Already talkj, of organization is heard, one big; i question being, “Who will succeed j 1 Stokes Jackson as state chairman ” ' Among those named are E. G. Hoff- | man. the hustling, pleasant and affable chairman of the Twelfth district, ; and Peter J. Kruyer of Plymouth. Either man could handle the job and I if chosen will devote a year to the work of retaining the democrats in i control in Indiana. The achievement banquet last week did much toward enthusing the rank and file, who demonstrated that they were ready and anxiouß to be enthused. Boys Clothes That Give Satisfaction I.

Not for some time has the Knights of Columbus hall presented such an attractive appearance as on Monday evening, when the seventh annual Easter ball was given, and which was attended by fifty couples. The attractive, as well as artistically arranged decorations, which the hall had taken on during the past week for the happy event appealed to ail and many a complimentary remark' was bestowed upon the committees in charge for the excellent taste which was displayed in the decorations. Around the main chandelier in the dancing room proper was a center piece of several hundred streamers, so evenly hung that not a flaw was noticeable, and that much diligent work was put in, showed for itself. The music for the evening was indeed the best ever rendered, being in charge of John Wemhoff and Miss Naomi Niblick. Many visitors from out of the city were in attendance and until a late hour the hand somely furnished home was the scene of much delight and amusement. Mrs. J. L. Edge will be seventy-six years of age Wednesday and the day will be very quietly celebrated. On next Sunday, however, will come the real celebration, when M. V. B.
