By the way, it looks as though there would be nothing particularly doing in Decatur on Independence Day. Madison county passed up the local option election and the commis-, cioners have granted saloon licenses o twenty-five in Anderson, twelve in . Elwood and five in Alexandria. The , temperance people did not believe, they could carry an election and the business men prevailed on them not to stir up the question at this time. It is now declared that the reciproc- ( ity bill will pass the senate, without the Root agreement concerning pulp I paper, by a majority of eighteen votes. There seems also to be a' chance for the wool schedule. It be-, gins to look as though that which the ; people want, they will have, no dis- [ ference how the senate committee reports. Frank Pittman, a railroad man, whose wife was a witness in a divorce case at Logansport yesterday, became enraged when an attorney, O. B. Conant, suggested that Pittman s j wife was not a suitable companion for the woman in the case, leaped upon the lawyer and choked him within an inch of his life. The lawyer apologized and Pittman was sent to jail ten days and fined for contempt, insisting that there were more ways than one to serve up justice. Democrat Want Ads Pa*’.

Lachot of this city: "At 8 o'clock this evening Miss Elsie Pearl Cobbum will be united in marriage to Wilson Lachot of Apple Creek, Ohio. The marriage ceremony will be performed by Rev. Charles W.

A small company of relatives and friends will be present for the event and the bride and bridegroom will leave tomorrow for their future home in Apple Creek.” The United Brethren Ladies’ Aid society held a very interesting meeting Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. D. V. Steele on West Monroe street, the devotional and social periods being carried out in a pleasing way, closing with the serving of a delicious lunch. The offering for the afternoon was $3.45. The ladies planned for the giving of a penny social next Thursday evening, June 15, at the parsonage. This promises to be an enjoyable one and the public is cordially invited. Miss Sue Mayer was hostess to the Needlecraft girls last evening, the party including the Misses Vernia Smith, Agnes Gillig, Clara Weiland, Martha Gotsch, Dessie Beery, Helen Sheets. Sue and Celia Mayer and Jessie Magley. There was the usual embroidery work, music, and a very delicious luncheon served in two courses, the hostess being assisted by the Misses Ruth and Naomi Mayer in serving. The club will meet during the summer only every two weeks, and Miss Agnes Gillig will be the next hostess.
Another elaborate party of the week given for a June bride, was the shower given Thursday evening by Mrs. Thomas Ehinger and Miss Mae Rademaker for Miss Edna Ehinger, whose wedding to Will Berling will occur June 20th. The affair was given at the Thomas Ehinger home, which was beautifully and appropriately decorated in pink and white. These bridal colors were carried out in the streamers of fluted crepe paper which were threaded in a mazy network from chandeliers to walls then back again, forming a roseate canopy. Vases of magnolia blossoms and white and pink roses were tastefully used in the decorations, and completed a prettv and harmonious setting for the little tables at which the thirty-six guests, in dainty and pretty frocks, found places for the evening game of progressive pedro. The prizes were won by the Misses Louise Brake and Anna Clark, who accordingly turned them over to the bride-to-be, the prizes being pieces of aluminum ware. Music
furnished during the evening by Mrs. L. A. Holthouse contributed to the pleasure In a great degree. After the cards, the tables were prepared for the serving of the luncheon, which very prettily carried out the colors—pink and white. Assisting in the serving were Mesdames W. H. Niblick, E. X. Ehinger. C. Rademaker and George Kinzle. The "showering" of the bride followed the luncheon. This was a “kitchen shower,” and each guest brought her gift daintily wrapped, these being deposited on a large table *in the dining room, which was set in a pretty booth-like arrangement in the bay window, draped with white and pink streamers. Watching the bride open these contributed as much to the pleasure of the givers as to the recipient, as one by one were brought forth, such beautiful pieces of aluminum ware and other articles to be used in cookery that forever puj to rout the thought that kitchen work is entirely prosaic. Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. May McMahon of Oskosh, Wis.; Miss Kahler and Mrs. E. H. Kilbourne of Fort Wayne, Miss Cecil Parkison of Bluffton.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Fonner entertained Fred Linn and family at a strawberry supper Thursday evening at their home near Monmouth. o - —— F. U. FUNKHOUSEN. D. C. Spinal Column.

The officers made a trip to the south p6rt of the county this morning, by automobile, to arrest. Samuel Bollenbacher, a young man residing with his father on the state line, six miles east of Berne, on a charge of bastardy, preferred against him by Edith Adams, a young woman who lives just across the line in Ohio. It seems that the plaintiff in the case has at various times solicited the defendant to make some settlement, but was always rebuffed. Taking the case to an attorney it was found that Bollenbacher had fled and extradition papers were needed. The papers arriving this morning the arrest was made at once and the prisoner was arraigned this afternoon, where he was bound over to the circuit coure and his bond fixed in the sum of >7OO. At the time of going to press he was trying to secure bond.
