It was a very beautiful party that Miss Veronica Anker gave Tuesday evening from four to seven o'clovk, after school hours for her ninth birthday anniversary. The home of her I parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Anker, on Winchester street, rang with good cheer and jollity, the little guests enjoying to the utmost the games provided for them. Their entertainment was in charge of Miss Jean Lutz and Mrs. W. H. Gleiser, the latter bringing all her kindergarten games for the little folks’ pleasure. Then there was a fishing pond were each tried her skill and unlike the usually poor “fisherman’s luck,’’ each hook came forth laden with a pretty gift. There was also a heart hunt and to Miss Esther Bowers was the honor of capturing the most hearts, while Miss Dorothy Walters found the least number. At 6 o'clock the dining room was thrown open for the supper. Nine little girls were accommodated at the large round dining table and the others at two smaller ones. During the last . course of the delicious supper, the red candles were lighted and made the scene a very pretty one. Mrs. Anker ’ was assisted in serving by Miss Jean 1 Lutz. A very large number of pretty ■ gifts were given Veronica. The company was joined later by Mrs. Lutz and Rev. Gleiser. The party of little folks included: Ruth Frisinger, Ruth Hubbard, Doris Erwin, Esther Bow- , ers, Helen Dugan, Glads Flanders, DorL othy and Dunn, Dorothy Walters, Florine Michaud, Victoria Mills, Dorothy Durkin, Catherine Peck, Fanny Heller, Rowena Shoaf, Margaret Jahe Hoffman. Just 104 years ago today was born the Abraham Lincoln who was destined to become the sixteenth president of the United States, and the leader of | his country during its struggle for the abolition of negro slavery. He met ( his death by assassination April 15, ' 1865. Mrs. B. W. Sholty of this city, who has an Interesting collection of antiques and curios, has one of the original copies of the New York Herald special of that date, which contains an account of the assassination, and which is highly prized by her, on account of its connection with the history of the United States. Today is also the anniversary of the death of Immanuel Kant, the German metaphysician, who lived from 1724 to 1804. The wedding of Mrs. Emma Lehman and Jacob Sommer “was announced Sunday from the Mennonite church. It took place Monday afternoon at the home of Rev. S. P. Sprunger, who performed the ceremony.

John Spuhler, Auct. c — NOTICE TO PUBLIC. When absent on a short holiday vacation, a report was circulated that I had left Decatur. This is not true, as I am still in business at my old loca tion and getting results through osteopathic treatment, in many cases after all other systems have failed. Osteopathy stands today without a peer among systems, and I am willing to demonstrate this to any interested. As Dr. Osler, the most famous medic alive today, says, the so-called natural methods of treatment are a branch sadly neglected, and but little understood by the medical fraternity, but their virtues are manifold and the results little short of marvelous in many cases, and physicians will in time be driven to their use as a matter of self-protection. What better authority do you want than this of the superiority of osteopathy as a science? Special inducements will be given all those who commence treatment during February. Throw aside prejudices and give yourself the utmost chance for a regain of health. Examination free. R. L. STARKWEATHER, M. D., D. O. O\er Bowers Realty Company’s Office, Decatur, ’phone 314. m . w .
