H. Voglewede. and Mr. Frederick William Schaub, aO» of Mrs. Caroline Schaub, two prominent young people of the city. To the many friends who thronged the spacious church the bridal party made , a very lovely picture as, lead by the ushers, Ed Herllng and Herbert Eh Inger, they proceeded down the center aisle, to the sanctuary, where 1 the nuptial ceremony, with its impres-j sive life tows, was celebrated by the I pastor, Rev. H. T. Wilken. The maid of honor, Miss Magdalene Kingseed, ■ of Sidney, Ohio, a cousin of the groom, walked alone, preceded by the bridesmaid, Miss Loretta Kleber, of Fort Wayne, an intimate friend of ) the bride, with the groomsman, Mr. j William Kingseed, Jr., of Sidney, Ohio, | also a cousin of the groom. Last, but ■ not least, came the bride and I groom. She was a very lovely bride,' fair and beautiful, and never so at-! tractive, as in her wedding costume of pure white, symbolic of purity. Her gown was a nexqulsite one of finest : white batiste, made in one-piece es-! feet. The yoke, as well as the over- ! skirt-effect and bodice, were of delicate eyelet embroidery, richly hand-; made, and outlined with insertions of rich lace and fine tucks. The flounceeffect was also carried out in the rich and rare lace and worn with this, to , meet the elbow sleeves, were long, white gloves. A large white picture hat, girdled with maramout and white tulle, and trimmed with large, white plumes, augmented her girlish beauty. Her flowers were a sheaf of bride's roses, which she carried across her ’ arm. Contrasted to the blonde beauty of the bride, was her bridesmaid. Miss! Loretta Kleber, of the brunette type, to whom her costume of palest pink was most becoming. The gown was of pale pink silk chiffon oYer pink satin, the over-dress of chiffon being banded at she bottom in the clinging effect, with a band of satin and cluny lace and the empire waist was defined with a girdle of plaited satin, the satin yoke and bodice having also the garnitures of chiffon and lace, and outlined with a delicate bead trim- j ming. Her hat was like that of the bride, and her flowers were pink roses., The maid of honor. Miss Kingseed, was very girlish and pretty in her gown of pale blue, silky fabric the yoke of which was of white baby Irish lace, and the ends of the long plastron were garnitured with points of this same rare lace. In liew of the large white picture hat, she wore a white' embroidered lingerie nat, very suitable to her youthful years, the hat being trimmed with a band and large bow of blue ribbon. The flowers she I carried were white bride's roses. At the bride's home on Fourth street was served a wedding breakfast at ll >b o'clock, covers being laid at three large tables and at numbers of smaller ones, for seventy-five guests, all of the appointments of the table, and the service being faultless. The bridal colors of white and pink, and blue predominated in the decorations of the home, being carried out jn flowers and festoons of streamers and hearts. Between the archways that threw the house into one large room were festoons of hearts in these colors. I Streamers were drawn from the walls and the corners of the rooms to the chandeliers in the center, where they were festooned with white wedding bells, hung under a feathery, delicate ( twining of asparagus fems. Large urns and vases of white and pink > roses were used effectively in avallable places—on pedestals, mantels, tables and in banking the buffet, making the entire air fragrant and one harmonious blend of color. The bridal table was especially beautiful. The

1 chandelier over the center was shaded with soft, delicate fringes in the bridal colors, and the decorations of the table were three large cut-glass vases of exquisite pink and white roses, nestling cool and sweet in ferns. Seated at this table were the bride's parents, Mr. and Mys. J. H. Voglewede, the groom's mother, Mrs. Caroline Schaub, and the members of the bridal party. Felicitations were extended the happy young couple during the reception at the home, and a happy time spent in mingling and viewing the handsome array of presents, iacluding cut glass, silver, linen, i etc., bestowed upon the couple, very material evidence of the love and esteem borne them. Mr. and Mrs Schaub left this afternoon on a trip through the east, their exact itinerary being kept a secret from the friends whom they feared, In a spirit of fun, change their plans somewhat. They will be at home after July 15 1 at 312 South Fourth street, the house there having been recently remodeled in a very handsome way.

William H. Gleiser j : Ordained in the Ministry t of Gospel AND INSTALLED As Pastor of Decatur Presbyterian Church —Father Assists in Service. One of the most sacred and impres sive services witnessed in the Decatur Presbyterian church in many years was that Tuesday eveuiug when the Rev. William H. Gleiser was ordained to the ministry of the gospel and afterwards installed as pastor of the local church. The Rev. W. H. Gleiser graduated this spring from the McCormick Theological seminary in Chicago, and accepted the call to the local i'church May 21st, this being his first regular pastorate. The Fort presbytery, with several other ministers of the Presbyterian church, in- 1 eluding the Rev. John B. Ferguson of | Lima, Rev. Edward Montgomery and Rev. N. C. Shirsy-of Fort Wayne, Rev. I H. G. Gleiser of Watseka, 111., and C. | IJ. Lutz of this city, comprised the; presbytery which met Tuesday afternoon and conducted the examination of Rev. William H. Gleiser, touching upon his qualifications for the ministry, and finding this highly satisfactory, the ordination was in due order Tuesday evening. The Rev. John B. Ferguson of Lima, moderator of the Fort Wayne presbytery, presided at the meeting Tuesday evening. Visiting pastors from the local churches, including Rev. D. O. Wise of the Evan gelical. Rev. Rev. R. L. Semans of the Methodist, Rev. Charles E. Ehle of the Baptist and Rev. J. M. Dawson of the Christian, were cordially recognized in the presbytery Tuesday evening. The church was tastefully and most beautifully decorated with two large vases filled with stately stalks of pure I white lilies, grown and artistically ar ranged by William Jackson. (Miss Jean Lutz opened the evening session with an exquisite pipe organ solo, and after a song, charmingly rendered by Miss Frances Laman, the Rev. N. C. Shirey read the scripture lesson, and prayer. Then followed a most excellent sermon by the Rev. John B. Ferguson of Lima, Indiana. He touched upon the purpose of the divine calling and its influence in the lives of others, that a Christian's life should be as the “fragrance of the knowledge of God," diffusing a sweet fragrance through the world, with the triumph of God in the individual. The mutual covenanting between pastor and people ' followed, and then the ordination proper. The candidate, the Rev. William H. Gleiser, kneeled in the sanctuary. and the ministers of the presbytery laid their hands upon his head, while the young man's father, the Rev. H. G. Gleiser, of Watseka, 111., earnestly praye’d. This was unusually impressive, and after the ordination, the young man received the congratulations of the members of the presbytery. Then came the formal installation of the minister as pastor of the local church. The charge to the pastor was given in a fatherly way, in a heart-to-heart talk, by his own father, and co-worker in the ministry, the Rev. H. G. Gleiser, who is pastor of CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR

A sermon, fitting for the occasion, was delivered by the pastor. Rev, Landis, and his short talk lent much toward the completion of the evening’s entertainment. Special mention should be made of the flag drills by the younger boys and girls, which won the praise of all.

IMPORTANT MEET , - - - r - County Superintendents of State Are in Session at Indianapolis. PROMINENT TALKS C. A. Greathouse Delivers Talk Before Assembly Tuesday. The mid-summer meeting of th* state association of county super fa , tendents of public schools opened at the state house at Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon with E. B. Sarber of Warsaw, president, presiding. Charles , A. Greathouse, state superintendent , of public instruction, delivered a very . Interesting talk on “The Relation of , the County Superintendent to the State Department." It was a scholarly discourses, full of thought and interest. Several others wero called upon to speak, and many addressee of ! importantance were listened to. L. E Opliger of this city Is in attendance, as well as many other superintendents throughout the state. Tn his addresse, Mr. Greathouse called on the county superintendents to co-operate with the state department of education to the fullest extent in the submitting and grading of manu scripts. He then took up the status of the Indiana school, and the relations thereto of the county superintendents, outling recent legislation for the betterment of the schools, and predicting that the time would soon coma i when the state would pay the school men a salary commensurate with their services to the state. He said in part: “A great deal is required of the school officer or school teacher, possi bly more than of any other profession—taking into consideration tbe means placed in their hands to meet these requirements. To come up ful- ! ly to these requirements, the school teacher should be a man or woman of broad, liberal culture, and this is de- ' manded on a salary of from >SO to >75 a month for six or seven months. “Do not understand that I wish to lessen the present qualifications, yet it has occurred to me many times that the salary all along the line of teachers and school officers is too low. To demand high ideals and college requirements is all right. But before we make further demands let us put means in their hands to meet the requirements. it is no less an absurdity to demand an impossibility of a school teacher than of anybody else. “The public schools of Indiana, un- ! der the wise and successful manage- ; ment of the school officers, have reached a high state of efficiency. Today our school system commands the respect of educational people throughout the United States, and regardless of politics, we have the united support of the citizenship of Indiana. “The pioneer legislature of Indiana conceived a system of education to meet the entire wants of the people, the common school its base, the state university its apex. This scheme, of course, failed for a time, due to the undeveloped state of the country. But after years of experience, of trial, and of failure, we are at last in possession of the original plan. To advance the plan the people have made great qpi willing sacrifices. “From the days of the log cabin, when the pupils were taught but the rudiments for three months, to the present, its growth and expansion have been steady and good, and today Indiana can assert claim, proudly and justly, to one of the best, one of the most systematic, and one of the most nearly perfect systems of common schools in the United States. “Our citizens have an abiding faith In the common school system as a civilizing agency, and as a preparation for the duties of citizenship.. The uncomplaining contributions of the mass- ■ es for the schools' support shows an unselfish concern for future genera- ■ tions. It means to them not only the I preservation of the republic now. but i its perpetuation. “To keep this sacred department of our government free from politics, di vorced from graft and every form of corruption, should be the firm rt- ■ solve of every person who is connect- , ed with the school system of the y state. The commercialism of the day 3 should not be permitted to spread its e influence over this most important deJ partment of our government. Tha y management of our school sjstetn CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR
