Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, an aecond-elaas mail matter. The June bride is now due to appear on the busy stage of life in the play of 1911. The month of roses has always been a popular one for those inclined to matrimony and we see no reason why this one should not be et least up to standard. June begins her career with a perfect day. It is prognosticated that it will be a wet month and that before ■July comes, we will need an additional story on our gum boots. May broke the world’s records for heat, and if June should give us more water than usual, it would be time to talk about the prophecy of that lady from Indiana who claims to be 40,000 years old and to know the exact date

for the ending of the world The Sons of Ve.erans or Indiana have prepared a state-wide petition that will be presented to the next general assembly, asking the passage of a law, forbidding certain forms of sport on Decoration Day. While we favor such a law, and while it will be supported, no doubt by thousands every-< where, it is to be regretted that it is again necessary to legislate morals. If the people do not sincerely believe in the proper observance of the day, i the prevention of sports on the day will not change their hearts, and that’s where the change should be in such things. Attorneys for Governor Marshall and other defendants to the suit attacking the new constitution, have filed an answer denying all the allegations to the complaint in the Marion county circuit court. The action was a surprise because the usual proceedure is to file a demurrer and go to the supreme court on the ruling on the ( demurrer. An effort is being made to have the case set for hearing in June, but the calendar is already full. The answer admits nothing, and the defendants are expected to argue that the plaintiff has not proved his case. The argument will be based entirely on law as to whether the evidence introduced is sufficient for granting reHet. If everything alleged in the complaint is proved, an attack on the evidence as being insufficient will have the same result as an attack en the complaint by demurrer. Very few if any cases of the kind have been allowed to go to trial in the past, as both sides have been contented with rul’.ngs on demurrers. ELBERT HUBBARD SAYS: That those who minister to the well being of others are saints. We must be saints, because we are looking after the comfort and adornment of men on this community by showing the popular fashions, the same as those being worn by careful dressers in Chicago and New York.

Mrs. Frank Butler entertained thir-ty-two of the ladies of the Evangelical Aid society in a most charming way Wednesday at her home in the, south part of the city, the ladies de-j voting themselves to piecing quilt I blocks, which will be made up into I ' quilts for their sales departments. | Miss Bereneta Reynolds furnished i some very good piano music while the ladies sewed, and later, the hostess, ■ was assisted by the Misses Bereneta Reynolds and Melvina Butler in serv-. ing a luncheon, consisting of meat, sandwiches, pickles, potato salad, tutti-fruiti, cake and coffee. The collection amounted to the good sum of ■ $12.88. Mrs. E. B. Macy will enter-, tain the society in two weeks—Thursday, June 15th. The ladies planned also at this meeting to hold another pastry sale, June 10th, the place to be announced later.

Miss Elia Mutchler will entertain a company of friends at dinner this 1 evening in compliment to Miss Ber- ■ tha Knapp, whose wedding to Mr. Ed Miller will take place Thursday, June Bth. ABOUT THE SICK. A surprise even to the members of his family was when Lafayette Ellis, who for a number of weeks has been at the St. Joseph hospital at Fort Wayne, was permitted to return home ( Wednesday evening, he having gain-j ed sufficient strength to make the I trip. Although he was taken to the | hospital on a cot and operated upon | ! while in a dying condition, he made . the return trip, aided by the members of his family, which was with- . od quite well, considering his condition. He is still weak from the long siege and the two operations which he underwent, but with a few i weeks of rest at his home he will be able to be about again. Mr. Ellis has been a sufferer for ten years and t will indeed be good news to his many 1 friends that he is improving, and al! i hope that he may be about before the elapse of many days. I ' The week-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gallmeyer of near St. John’s is .at the point of death. Mrs. Gallmeyer is also said to be in a serious condition. Fred Thiema and children went to Fort Wayne this afternoon to call on Mrs. Thiema, who wae operated upon last Monday at the Lutheran hospital for appendicitis. She is said to be getting along well. i Mrs. Anna Droppieman and daughter, Sylvia, returned Wednesday ev- ’ ening from Jeffersonville, where they have been sveral weeks. It will be remembered that Miss Sylvia was called there by the illness of an aunt, and it was while there that she also i became ill, her mother being sum- ! moned there to care for her. She has recovered. ' Mrs. B. J. Terveer is home from Ft.

Wayne after paying a short visit to her daughter, Miss Emma, at the hospital and stated that she was resting much easier, although she would not be able to come home until some time next week. She is still Improving, but was too weak to sit up yesterday for more than a very short while. Mrs. Irvin Acker still continues to improve and her condition is regarded as being as well as could be expected. Her two sons. Samuel, of Geneva. and L. W. Acker, of Chicago, are with her and Miss Eva will leave in the morning to pay her a visit during the day. If her present condition continues and nothing else sets in she will get along all right from now on. WHOLESALE HOUSE Will be Established Here by Two Local Business Men in Near Future. FRUITS, VEGETABLES Will Do Wholesale Business Only, Occupying Building on Second Street.

Wednesday night John Joseph and Dallas Hunsicker left here for Indianapolis and Chicago, where they are buying stock with which to open up a wholesale fruit and vegetable supplyhouse in this city. They have rented the business room in the Studebaker building just south of the interurban station and are having it especially arranged for their use, the stock which they are buying being expected to arrive the first of next week. They will handle all kinds of green vegetables and fruits and have made special arrangements for getting quick delivery at the same prices which the merchants will have to pay outsiders for their stock. They will ship goods to all surrounding towns and will at all times carry a large stock with which to fill orders. The business men here have seen the need of such a business and have promised their support to the proprietors as they will secure fresher goods at the same list price as they can get them in any other town with the advantage that they will not have to wait for it. The store will be open for business about the first of next week or as soon as several car loads of stock arrive. o WILL HOLD PASTRY SALE. At the meeting of the Evangelical Ladies’ Aid society yesterday afternoon it was decided to hold another pastry sale, the same to be held June 10th. o— A CORRECTION. In the Daily Democrat of May 23rd an article which is so grossly misleading, that in justice to the Pleasant Grove people as well as reverence for the sacredness of the occasion, a correction is necessary. The article reads: “Rev. D. S. Knlsely of the Pleasant Grove church, has inaugurated a new

ft - ■ '-Wife; THE TEST OF MAKING GOOD APPEARANCE before the game don’t amount to very much, its what happens in action that counts. The supreme test of good clothes is not the way they look in the store, or when you try them on, but the length of time they will stand wear and still maintain their original appearance. The majority of men don’t know much about clothes; they go mostly by the way they look in the store or the price, which are both deceptive. Even experts can be fooled some time and the price of a suit is high or low according to what it is, and not what it looks like before you wear it.

service which will prove both novel and effective. It is termed the AVhitsunuae meeting, and to give particulars would be divulging the interesting features of the affair, but sufficient to say that you will not lose if you attend. They will hold meetings from Friday to Sunday evening, giving three meetings on Saturday and Sunday. Rev. E. C. Mason of Huntington will be present to conduct the meetings and all are cordially invited

to attend." As a matter of fact there is nothing either “new” or "novel” about the meeting, nor is there anything mysterious to “divulge” either now or at any other time. The Whitsuntide meeting is an anniversary service held on Pentecost day, that has been
