Senator Ben Shively has been named as chairman of the pension committee in the senate and is also a member of two other important committees, the finance and the committee on foreign relations. He was given the assignments on motion of .Senator Kern, showing that there is considerable buncombe about these stories of deep-seated enmity between the two Indiana senators. • . Though it was claimed by the Indi-' anapolis News and other papers over j the state a year ago that Mr. Ralston was a Taggart candidate for govern-. or, he is now spoken of as the best that ever happened and to him alone is i due the fact that at least several bad bills failed to become laws. The utilities law, spoken of everywhere as the best in the entire United States, is such, because of the work of Governor Ralston. He is a big. broad governor, who weighs carefully the problem before him and then acts in a ■wise and manly way. That he has already made good is conceded and that he will continue to do so is not doubted by any fair man, friend or foe. Amos P. Beatty, Adams county representative, has returned from h's first session as a memoer of that body, and he comes home with a record that j he may well feel proud of. We have watched his work carefully and we are sure that all others who have done so will agree that he has worked . hard and has represented the people ! of Adams county. He introduced sev-! eral bills and secured their passage, but not in that light did he shine. He read every bill introduced, studied it carefully and then voted the way be believed his constituents favored. He consistently fought every bad bill and

as consistently worked for the passage of every good bill. No breath of a dishonorable or ungeqtlemanly act i stands against him, and to him as much as to any man in the house, is 1 41ue th? fact that the lower branch of the assembly caught its second breath land stopped the mad dash of riotous (frolic that would have, an Mr. Beatty [said in one of his speeches, "erected a (tombstone for the party that would . have stood until Gabriel sounded his horn on judgment day.” To him is ■credited much good work for the util- , ity bill, the blue sky law, educational 1 bills and others that are creditable. , He saved the Discovery Day bill after . it had been buried, dug it up and aided in its passage. He opposed graft of every kind all the time, and he . came out with the praise of his friends and the respect of his enemies. We have been unable to find a single part of his work that would subject him to criticisms and we believe the people lof Adams county will join us in thus publicly saying to him, "well done A’ CORTEG ARRIVED (Continued from Page 1) Seal's Injuries Not Fatal. According to John Scheimann and 1 drew the body a little further under the wheels, literally slicing it up, the upper part of the chest alone escaping. He made no sound and it is probable 1 death was instant. Mr. Seal fell unconscious with his head very near the freight train, and the fact that he was unconscious probably saved his life, as only a little move would have plac- : ed him in the way of the wheels. M. BURNS LIKES GOLDEN WEST. Our old friend, M. Burns, writes us from Los Angeles, w’here he says their I family is enjoying life to the fullest' extent. He and Mrs. Burns are now in their new home at 517 Serrono avenue and Frank Burns and family are in their cottage at 506 Serrono aven- ' ue. The thermometer registers from ; ,80 to 83, people are making garden, • and conditions are similar to those 1 , here in the month of May. All are well and send best wishes to Decatur | friends.

There were many members and guests in attendance at the meeting of i the Women's Christian Temperance j Union at the home of Mrs. Jacob Ata' . yesterday, to e~ joy the interesting les-1 I son given under the leadership of Mrs. ( | John Niblick and the delightful social time. A song by Mrs. Eugene Runyon was much appreciated. The hostess

was assisted by Mrs. George Glass In I serving refreshments. — The St. Patrick's party to be given ( ( Thursday evening by the Euterpean club at the home of Mrs. Roy Archbold will be one of the most pleasing social events of this club. Six o’clock is the hour set for the serving of the supper and the hours following will be given over to a variety of social diver- ( ■ions. Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner had promised to give a taffy pulling for the girls of the Entre Nous club and last night was selected for the happy event.. It was not known, however, until the arrival of all at the home, that it would be a triple surprise. Mrs. Ben Welker of Delaware, Ohio, formerly Miss Bess Baumgartner; and one of the club girls, had unexpectedly arrived home Tuesday afternoon and was present. The club girls included Electa Glancy, Matilda Sellemeyer, Pearl and Grace Purdy, Golda Gay, Ella Mutschler and Lilah Ijachot. Other guests were Dr. and Mrs. Hoffman and Mr. and Mrs H. S, Lachot. "The College Woman as a Homemaker" was the subject of the good paper given by Miss Nellie Blackburn before the Historical club Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. S D. Beavers. Newspaper clippings bearing on i this subject were read by the members and interestingly discussed. Next Tuesday Mrs. O. L. Vance will be hostess, when “Chinese Music” will be (taken up under the leadership of Mrs. 'Ed Moses. There will be special music, when a social time will be provided instead of the all-study period which is the usual order of this club. I Mrs. John Tyndall and her sister. Miss Bertha Heller, combined their entertainment of the two clubs of which they are members —the Young Matrons and the Thimble clubs—Tuesday afternoon when the Tyndall home on Monroe street was thrown open to the twenty-five or thirty guests. As both clubs devote themselves to sewing, no (other form of entertainment was pro- . vided, the party devoting Itself to ■ needlework until the luncheon hour, when refreshments in two courses were provided. Little shamrocks were given as favors. LEAVE TOMORROW Basket Ball Team Will go to Bloomington to Enter the State Contest. HAVE GOOD CHANCE Teams Matched by Lot—Mr. Guedelle Referee—Play at Men's Gymnasium. Isaac Neff of Richmond, represent(ine D. • s her" Tuesday. Mr. Neff was for lour vears principal of the Richmond high school and is the secretary of the Indiana High School Athletic association. He was present at the meeting at Indianapolis when the schedule was made for the state high school tournament of basket ball teams. He says the matches were fixed by lot, the names of two cities being drawn out at the same time. The Decatur-South Bend contest will occur at the Men’s gymnasium, which is the best floor in the city. Mr. Guedelle, a professional umpire from Indianapolis, the best referee in the state, will officiate. The Decatur team will leave here tomorrow morning in charge of Mr. Martin Worthman, the high school principal, who has worked so hakd to get the boys in condition for this meet. He has beep Hi for two days but is better this afternoon and it is thought will be able to make the trip. The boys leave with the best wishes of the Decatur "fans,” who believe they will at least make a creditable showing. NO CHARGES FILED. — Pleasant Mills Woman Must Wait on Recreant Spouse. The Pleasant Mills woman whose husband disappeared a week ago, simultaneously with the disappearance of i a neighbor woman, with whom he had been friendly, was in the city this morning, conferring with the sheriff and prosecuting attorney, relative to action which she might take in the matter. While her husband took with him the greater part of the money he had in the bank here, he left her a sum i for the support of herself and children, hence there can be no charge of failure to provide. He has not been away long enough yet to charge desertion; and it is not known whether he departed with the woman or not,

hence there is no ground for any charge from that course. There is simply nothing to be done, except to sit down and wait to see whether he comes back before the money he left here with bis wife is all used up, aud if not, then to file the charge against him. o VOCATIONAL LAW (Continued from Page 1) instruction, the presidents of Purdue the state, university and the state normal school, the superintendent of schools of the three counties having the largest enumeration of children for school purposes, three citizens of prominence actively engaged in educational work in the state, one of whom shall be a county superintendent of schools, and three persons actively interested in and of known sympathy with vocational education, one of whom shall be a representative of employees and one of employers. The governor shall appoint the memmers of the board, except the ex-ofil-cio, members, for a term of four years. The farmers of Indiana particularly are looked after in the new law. whenever twenty or more residents of a county shall file a petition with the county board of education for a county agent, together with a deposit of |500! to be used In defraying his expenses, 1 the county board of education shall j file the petition within thirty days | with the county council which must! appropriate annually $1,500 to be used' in paying the county agent’s salary I and other expenses. Then the county' education board applies to Purdue uni-' versity for a county agent who co-op-j erates with the farmers’ institutes, farmers' clubs and ether organizations and assists and adviees the farmers of thin county. The author of the vocational education law is John A.

Lapp was secretary of the commission appointed two years ago to investigate the subject of vocational training and the law was the result of the commission’s work. Representative Joseph H. Stahl, a farmer and lawyer of Newton, Fountain county, was sponsor of the vocational bill.* Its signing by Governor Ralston was made the occasion of ceremonies next in elaborateness to the signing of the public service commission law. - '0 ■■■ ■ ■ ■« WANTED—GirI for general housework: only two In family.
