The meeting which closed at Fort Wayne Friday evening was the best in history. The Decatur lodge was represented by over one hundred delegates, clad in summer togs and carrying pennants, and received due applause. Alvin Padgitt of W ashington was chosen president. Diaz has fled to Spain, after surrendering the presidency of Mexico to the rebels. Forty years of rule in that republic, with better conditions than has been known in centuries, does not seem to have counted for much. That conditions will improve now is ver* doubtful, and still the old president was so very tyrannical that a change seems to have been necessary. ■ 1 " l —" x Heat records over the I nited States were smashed into smithereens yesterday, and old Indiana was the hottest place on the map, according to all records. With the mercury holding at from ninety-four to ninetyeight in the shady spots, there were numerous prostrations. Today it reached a hundred, but the weather man predicts showers and cooler for Sunday, thank the Lord. WANTED —An experienced girl for light house work in family of four; good wages. Address Mrs. E.

SOCIAL DOINGS Entre Nous Club Girls Entertained by Miss Matilda Sellemeyer. YOUNG MEN’S CLASS Os Evangelical Church Met —Mrs. M. E. Brackett Hostess at Party. The Friendly Hand. When a man hain't got a cent, an" he s feelin’ kind o’ blue. An’ the clouds bang dark an heavy, an’ won't let the sunshine through, It’s a great thing, O my brethren, for a feller just to lay His hand upon your shoulder in a friendly sort o' way! It makes a man feel curious; it makes the tear-drops start. An’ you sort o’ feel a flutter in the region of the heart. You can’t look up an’ meet his eyes; you don’t know what to say, When his hand is on your shoulder in ■ a friendly sort o’ way. O, the world's a curious compound, with its honey an’ its gall, With its cares an’ bitter crosses; but a good world, after all. An’ a good God must have made it—leastways, that’s what I say When a hand rests on my shoulders in a friendly sort o’ way. —James Whitcomb Riley.

The Young Men’s New Movement class of the Evangelical church held a very good meeting Friday evening at the home of Charles Van Camp. After the business period, there was a social hour, with several amusements. Among them was a contest in which words were made from "Evangelical Bible Class,’ the Rev. D. O. Wise win ning the honors in making the greatest number in a given time. Refreshments were served later in the evening. The class planned to unite with the other young men's class in giving a picnic soon. The Entre Nous club girls were guests of Miss Matilda Sellemeyer at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S.

The Misses Edna Ehinger and Vera Ebinger were guests of Dr. and Mrs. McArdle at Fort Wayne Friday evening. ■ A profusion of garden flowers carrying out the colors of red and white, made the M. E. Brackett home on Winchester street Friday afternoon flagrant and unusually pleasing to the sight, when Mrs. Brackett entertained forty-five ladies at a “Five Hundred” and needlework party. The floral decorations were carried out with white syringas and red geonies and carnations, these being arranged in great bowls about the mantels and tables, with branches of syringa and foliage and pots of plants placed about the rooms otherwise in a pleasing way. While some of the ladies sewed, others played "Five Hundred” witji ‘he busy and pleasing hum of conversation over all. Mrs. L. W. Coppock was awarded the first prize, while the "slam” went to Miss Minnie Orvis. Out of town guests were Miss Halo Holden, who is returning to her home at Belleview, Michigan, after spending the winter in Huntington, ’where she is teaching; Miss Veda Ward of Sanford, Fla., and Miss Cora Barker of Ada, Ohio.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. "Oddfellowship.” Working In manhood's prime, and ardent youth In that subllmeat, most enchanting strife, to show for man, best friendship, love and truth. In memory of Brother Jay V. Elzey, who died May 22. 1911. Once again death hath summoned a brother Odd Fellow, and the golden gateway to the eternal city has spread to welcome him to his eternal home. He has just completed his work in ministering unto the wants of the afflicted. in shedding light into darkened souls, and In bringing joy into the places of misery, and his reward has received the plaudits, “Well done,’ from the Supreme Master. And Whereas, the all-wiae and merciful Father has called our respected and beloved brother home. And Whereas, be having been a true and faithful brother of our myatic order; therefore, be it Resolved, That St. Mary’s lodge. No. 167, I. O. O. F., in testimony of its loss tender to the family of the deceased brother our sincere condolence in the deep affliction, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family. J. W. MERRIMAN, MEL BUTLER, AMOS YODER, Committee. DRANK KEROSENE Eighteen-Month-old Son of Albert Sudduth Drank Overdose of Oil. * t SERIOUS CONDITION Lay in Coma Long Period and Life Was Despaired of—Timely Aid.

At noon today the eighteen-months-old son of Albert Sudduth drank a large quantity of kerosene and for a while was in a serious condition. The oil was in a can setting on the porch and the boy in some manner drank the liquid, which soon resulted in him contracting spasms, which was soon superceded by a coma. Physicians were summoned and administered aid, large quantities of milk being forced down the boy’s throat, the action of which soon brought him out of danger. No reason can be assigned why the boy drank such a large amount of the oil, nor can the parents say how he become possessed with the notion of trying to dispose of the oil. The overdose caused him to become very sick after he recovered somewhat 1 and in the future it is safe to say that he will fight shy of kerosene. A TRAINED NURSE. Arrives to Care for Mrs. J. W. Tyndall—About the Sick. Bernard Terveer went to Ft. Wayne this afternoon to call on his sister. Miss Emma, at the St Joseph hospital. Miss Terveer was able to sit up a while yesterday, and is showing marked improvement every day. If the improvement continues she may be able to come home the latter part of next week. Word from L. C. DeVoss, who with his son, Frank, left May 12th for Bar- ' stow, Cal., for the benefit of the son’s health, is that Frank is much worse and that a return home will be made as soon as possible, as they expected to leave Barstow either today or tomorrow. The change in climate was too much for Frank, the altitude there being too high. A trained nurse arrived today from Fort Wayne to care for Mrs. J. W. Tyndall, who has been quite seriously sick the past week. The illness resulted from a strain received while cleaning house last week, resulting in peritonitis. FIRST COMMUNION. A beautiful and impressive service, and one never before witnessed in the St. Mary's ihurch, took place at 7:30 o'clock this morning, when a class of one hundred and seven children received their first communion. The church was crowded with the parents and relatives of the children taking part, and which presented a very inspiring scene. The girls were dressed in white, while the boys were attired in the regular black. Father Wilken, who celebrated the mass, distributed the communion and was assisted by Father Flaherty The children approached in regular numbers and repaired to their places in a very quiet and appropriate mood. o-— Democrat Want Ads Pay.

GREAT BEAUTY I Cemeteries Being Beautified For Decoration Day— Many New Monuments. ARE NOW BEING SET The Wemhoff Monumental Works Has Some Fine Works of Art. Not only will special efforts be made to beautify the graves of the departed ones with flowers and other appropriate, though passing and short-lived decorations, on the annual memorial day next Tuesday, but special effort has been made to beautify the cemeteries in other and more lasting ways and the eve of Decoration Day finds Maplewood cemetery, and the many others, taking on many fine changes, as a walk through thia beautiful spot will show. The cemetery association has just completed the remodeling of the sexton's house —a new front porch, a new kitchen and new porches in the rear, the building of cement walks in the grounds, and a fine wide cement walk in front, extending the length of the new iron fence, from the east to the entrance. The new iron fence and the fine, large entrance gate-way, it will be remembered, were completed quite recently. Passing within the cemetery we find many handsome new monuments being erected to mark the last resting places of many who have recently passed to the beyond. The Wemhoff Monumental Works has been busy the past few weeks erecting its fine stones here, and among the many new ones placed by this firm it that at the A. C. Gregory grave. It was carved from an original Masonic design, with the thirty-second Masonic degree emblem, the double-eagle, and otherwise beautifully emblematic. Among the many new rock-carved monuments is a double stone for the late ’Squire J. H. Smith and his wife, their death occurring within a fewmonths of each other. The stone is of handsome design and very fine. Os exquisite design and workmanship also is the monument for the William Hardin lot. On the front is the representation of a torn scroll bearing the family name. Framing the scroll at the left is a sheaf of lilies carved in relief. A companion to this is the one at the Ben Harkless grave, the passion flower taking the place of the lily sheaf of the other. One of the most handsome is the monument for the David Steele family, the stone bearing a large, natural-sized urn carved in relief. This is beautifully emblematic. The urn has been used from time immemorial to hold the ashes of the dead. But in this instance there rises from the urn, a plant, symbolic of everlasting life. The Wemhoff company is certainly turning out some work that is art of the highest type. It o - REUNION OF THE 160TH., The members of Company B, Span-ish-American war veterans, are invited to attend a camp fire and reunion at Huntington on August 15, 1911.

Frier. Marion, adjutant; Captain Ransom Allen, Ossian, quartermaster; L. L Martz. Bluffton, chaplain; J. M. Kitt, Huntington, historian.
