Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, inoiaua. as Becop'i-claas maP. About thirty delegates from Adams county attended the senatorial convention at Fort Wayne today. The session was called at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The present senator, Stephen B. Fleming, was unapposed for the nomination, his selection being unanimous. An old soldiers' monument will be built in Decatur. It is bound to come, because the members of the Sam Henry post are showing the proper interest. When they make the call for funds, not a patriotic citizen of Decatur will back up. They deserve it and have earned it many times over. The decision of the national committee on the contested delegates to the Chicago convention certainly should meet the approval of the Taft m<. so tar tne president has been aws-ded 102 of the delegates and Roosevelt has been given one.

both Taft and Roosevelt should run against a democrat, and what would be done in case the electoral college should not be able to elect. It’s unnecessary, for whether either or both are nominated the result this year will be the same. The electoral college will be overwhelmingly democratic. ' The people of this locality, men 1 and women, are invited and urged to 1 attend the meeting of the ‘ Old Home 1 Week" boosters to be held at the 11l brary this evening at 8 o’clock, if there is a favorable expression, it will go, and it will be the greatest event ever given in this city, but if not, the idea will be abandoned. It’s up to i you. If you want it, say so tonight. If you don't your absence will signi- > fy that feeling. ________ ' Arrangements for the special trains from Fort Wayne and Indianapolis to the Baltimore convention have been completed and the trip on either will be delightful. The fare from Indianapolis is $25.85 and from Ft. Wayne about one dollar less. Plans for taking care of those who go, both on the trains and during the convention are complete and will afford every comfort and convenience possible. It’s not too late to join the crowd. POLICE COURT NEWS. The marshal was called about noon to look up a bunch of dogs that had been runmag wild on the streets, one of which bit through the hand of Casper Lang this morning. Several other complaints of the depredations of the dogs were reported and they will be killed as soon as found.

The girls of the telephone exchange had another one of their good times Miss Pearl Purdy, a

member of the force, whose birthday' occurred Tuesday, being the guest of honor. Miss Purdy had gone home and retired for the evening, when the telephone girls made the onslaught into her home and bedroom, and, after a talk, demanded that she arise. Miks Purdy looked at them and nonchalantly said, “Are you going to stay?” and being advised that they were, decided to arise and join the company. Miss Inez Coverdale furnished music, and a brisk conversation added zest to the evening. They presented Miss Pearl a fine souvenir spoon as a birthday gift. Mrs. Jacob Omlor sent the force a plenteous supply of luscious homegrown strawbe rries and plenty of cream to whip for them, and these with cake, provided a feast fit for a queen. A number of the girls were unable to attend the party, and the company vyas therefore rather diminished.

' left today noon for Elkhart to attend ! the wedding. Ralph Case of Indianapolis and Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Annen, of Chicago, brothers and sister of the groom, will also be among the guests. Attention is called to the meeting of the Mite socety of the Methodist church to be held at the home of Mrs. Emerson Beavers. Friday afternoon at 2 oclock, June 14th. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Sutton who are spending the summer with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex White on their farm in Preble township, entertained a party of Decatur friends who were taking an automobile trip through that part of the county last evening, the party comprising Jesse G. Niblick and the Misses Fanny and Mary Hite, Ethel Barkley and Marie Patterson. The visit was a surprise and the company found the Hon. J. C. Sutton, the attorney, engaged in pulling fence posts along the road. The day- happened to be the birthday anniversaries of both Mr. Alex White and his thirteen year old grandson, Alex Sutton. Though the visitors did not know- of that before their visit, they were quite delighted that their visit happened to be timed with the double anniversary. At the regular semi-annual meeting of the Young People's Alliance of the Evangelical church last evening, the election of officers took place with very little change. The staff is: President, Vernia Smith; vice president, j Mrs. Eugene Runyon; recording sec- | retary, Hope Hoffman; corresponding i secretary, Mrs. J. H. Rilling; missionary secretary, S. C. Cramer; organist, Crystal Kern. At this time, a report was made of the sum raised by the society towards the building fund for the proposed new ch h. Two years ago the society started the fund with only three cents, and the report last evening showed that the society had earned for this purpose alone, $lB2. The society has sixty members and is a most active organization indeed, beI ing known as the strongest Young j People s Alliance in the Ft. Wayne district. The close of a special con-test-for the raising of twenty dollars for the building fund, was announced last evening, the side on which the unmarried couple were ranked, being the winning side. Each member was given a slip of paper on which was writ- ! ten a number which designated the sum he was asked to earn. It is said I that of the sixty members, only five failed to comply with this. Much interest centers in the convention to be held at Portland June 24 and 25, Mrs. Eugene Runyon being a delegate, and Miss Vernia Smith alternate. The reports from the various departments of the society, show it to be a strong one, and in a flourishing condition. Seven new members were received last evening. o OPERATE FOR GALL STONES. Mrs. Ad Liby, living north of Megley well known here, and who for several years has been afflicted with gall stones, this morning underwent an operation for relief, and forty of the stones were taken from her. Everything available was tried, but to no avail and the operation was deemed necessary by the physicians for her recovery. Dr. McOscar of Fort Wayne, assisted by local physicians performed tbo ordeal, which was well withstood by the patient. o BLOODINE OINTMENT CURES ECZEMA Itching and bleeding piles, psoriasis, salt rheum, pimples, rashes, dandruff and falling hair.
