Entered at the Postofllce In Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The Maine election has a special interest this year to the campaign managers of both parties. It will give them their first line on the present whereabout of the progressive vote. In 1912 the Wilson vote was 51,113. the Taft vote 26.545 and the Roosevelt vote 48,493. The combined Taft Roosevelt vote was 75.038. which exceeded the Wilson vote by 23,925. In 1914 there were 62.039 votes cast for the democratic candidate for govern or. 58.862 for the republican candidate and 18.225 for the progressive candidate. The total vote in 1914 wa>. nearly 12.000 over 1912, and the combined republican-progressive vote exceeded the democratic vote by 15.-048. In order to carry Maine this year the democrats will have to win 12,000 of the votes cast for Taft and Roose velt in 1912. That would mean approximately 25 per cent of the tdtal Roosevelt vote. On the basis of the 1914 vote, a change of 8.000 would be enough, but this would be practical!}' 45 per cent of the vote cast for the progressive candidate for governor two years ago. Neither side knows how this progressive vote will split, and thus an importance attaches to the Maine election this year which has brought great anxiety to the campaign managers of both parties. That is why the republicans are sending Mr. Roosevelt and Mr Hughes to Maine in a desperate effort to hold the progressive vote in line for the republican caidiates.— New York Wbrld. dnuocnimca&iaMaaMxnmKnaex? c DOINGS IN SOCIETY jj Lying to others is much less serious than lying to yourself.— Tolstay. Two hundred or more representatives of the Munima family from Ohio. Missouri, Indiana and Illinois gathered at Robison park. Ft. Wayne, today for their annual reunion. Charts A. Mumma. of northeast of the city, is president of the association. Mr. and Mrs. Sol David and daughters, Stella and Hazel, and his mother Mrs. Caroline David, went to Fort Wayne to attend the David annual family reunion at Robinson park. Fred and Bessie Teeple went to Ft. Wayne to attend the Hollopeter family reunion at Robinson park today. A jolly motor party had as its destination the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Heidemann northeast of the city last evening, where they had a most merry time. Games of all kinds were played and the luncheon served was a most delicious one. The party inK7TOTHERS will do well to visit our childrens clothing department in preparation for school days.

Describes trip’ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' dance hall and orchestra room, was almost completely covered with the American flag. The orchestra is composed of twen-ty-four pieces besides a ' .rgo pipe organ and piano. They have a musicale every Sunday evening, we were told. From the pavilion we wandered out to the beach, looking at the many beautiful cottages and largo hotels, several of which have at least one hundred rooms: alsd saw the steel pier which is built of steel far out into the ocean, with several resthouses along the way. We watched the three or four hundred bathers in the water and from there we strolled up the beach quite a distance, hunting pretty shells and waded in the water and pretty, white, fine sand, so you see w«> got our feet washed once if we did have to wait until we got to the ocean. The day was very lot but yet when one was along the wa- , ter we did not mind the heat much. as it seemed quite cool. About 3:30 we returned to Wilmington; as on going through the city in the morning. we noticed several large vessels in the harbor, so we thought we , would investigate. Hired the man to take us across the New river on the ferry (the only way to get ' across). We then walked up the other side of the river for about a quar i ter of a mile, getting close enough to read. We found that they were merchant vessels from .Hamburg, Ger ’ many; had come across about two 1 years ago with a cargo of goods, and “ had not been allowed to return on account of the war. which we pray to , God will soon end. While looking around we noticed a boy bringing several men from the ship in a boat. ‘ As soon as they landed we asked him 1 if we could go across, and he said he would take us. So. of course, it wasn’t long until we were on the (Nicaria vessel, by name), which was 350 feet long. 100 feet above water. * and seventy-five feet wide, all built I of steel; weight about 4.900 pounds; I the sister ship (Kiel) Weighing about | 500 pounds more. The gentleman on board could not talk any English There was one man kind enough to take us all over and explain everything to us. Believe me. it was some - grand sight as wjell as a good tire i some one, climbing up and down the i different ladders but yet one forgets . ail that when they have such a grand . opportunity, or at least we deemed f it so. Was so taken up with it we ■ did not get aboard the sister ship. Were sorry, as it* was much larger and double-decked, but did see some, • chickens arid also pigs, and several ■ dogs aboard. We could not understand. nor could the man who took us about, only as Mr.' Weis would talk to him in German and then to us in English. He said they were getting very anxious to return home. They hear direct from Germany once a month. Said in fair weather they had made the trip from Hamberg to Wilmington in three weeks, running about ten or eleven miles an hour. Everything was very clean. One man, we noticed, was preparing supper. Saw one sleeping room that would accommodate sixteen men. We certainly learned a great deaß from this visit. The man thanked us for coming to see them and he then went with us across to shore to see that we landed safely. Going back to the ferry landing we went through a rozin and pitch factory; saw hundreds of barrels of it. Just as we reached the landing they were going to go across witli an auto load of people, so for the novelty of it we all got on the flat boat and went across, too., costing us five cents a piece, round trip, which sure was very cheap. So many times during the day we mentioned how well we would have liked for all of our people to he with us to enjoy what we were enjoying, but > presume it will be some time before we even get to see any one from Decatur. We arrived at the great central depot about 6:4q; ate our lunch and took the train for New Bern, a very tired party, hut very thankful for such an opportunity. We are all trying to rest up this week, doing fairly well at it. We are all very well settled and feeling fairly good and becoming more used to the southern way and people, whom, we find are' kindness ' itself. The men folks are'kept busy every day at the "mill, work going along fine, shipping out several car loads of No. 1 heading every few. days. Mr. Meihls says the colored |

men are yet a little difficult to handle. us they are so very much afraid of the machinery. They have enough t.imlter bought ahead to run at least ten years, and enough In the dock to run the mill for six months, with the four heading saws and two turners go ing steadily. The men at the mill < during their spare time are trying to catch the large alligator they saw ’ in tlie river several weeks ago. All come over and see the mill and the i beautiful city wo live in. Every one around here says how glad we will be : for next month. We asked' why. and they tell us it is the opening of the oyster season. Well, that doesn't in- 1 terest mo any way. But sure do wish you could all see the beautiful roses in bloom; just as many and as pretty as in the early spring. Then, too, we have here large trees without any bark on them. They have very beautiful flowers, almost like our lilacs at home, only they are very pink in color. The figs are all ripe now; very plentiful and as large as a good sized orange or pear. I preserved some the other day. Mr. Meihls says they are fine. The pimentos are also getting ripe, and watermelons everywhere, and very good. See by the papers and letters from home what nice hot weatefcer you people have been having. Am very sorry, but we have not had such awful hot weather and then too. with but a few exceptions we have very cool nights, but we sure have been having very heavy rains and ever so many floods in this vicinity. Think it sure time to bring this letter to a dose, so wishing you all success and health and happiness we remain as ever, Loyal to Decatur. MR. AND MRS. PHIL MEIHLS. COURT HOUSE NEWS.

WHITE HUSSARS (CONTINUBD FROM PAOH ONE) Hussars are pervaded with the stirring enthusiasm of young soldiers, ardent collegians and Chautauqua enthusiasts. Any one who has ever heard their selection entitled "The Sleigh Ride.” with Its merry quips and clever pantomime, can recall its real humor, nor can he forget the swinging rhythm. Mr. Alfred Sweet, the musical director, is one of the great cornetists of the day. He* is also the principal baritone in the vocal choir. For three years Mr. Sweet was director of Ringling Bros.' Symphonic band, and did much to establish that great organization in its present place among military bands. He has directed The White Hussars for the past three years. Also the same soloists who have contributed to the upbuilding of the company will be heard in its concerts at every Redpath Chautauqua. This company, was organized some years ago by ' Ralph Dunbar, whose success as a product of musical companies is too well known to need further mention here. Following the appearance of The White Hussars in New York one of tlie press comments said: "The Hussars ere immaculately groomed good looking young men that pl a) well and sing well, and will pass mus ter anywhere.” The comment from Philadelphia was: “They made n splendid appearance and were en cored time after time.” From Chicago came this comment: “They played Sousa’s music just - as tnough Sousa was there to direct it.” From Cincinnati: “They easily car ried off the honors. Voices were good, the music was good and in aV respects it’s all to the good." From Louisville. Kentucky: “If you think you have hoard band music, hear the Hussars. They not only play good music but sing as well. They are particularly satisfying, and make a •fine appearance.” Edwin M. Whitney was reader and second tenor of the famous Whitney Brothers’ Quartet which toured America from 1902 to 1912, present ing the very higliest grade of male quartet music. Mr. Whitney has nw ‘been engaged in the reading of plays for about three years, and his sue icess is proven by the long list of re iturn dates, many of them for 'the third consecutive year. Last sum mer he gave “The Fortune Hunter’ over the Ohio Redpath chautauqur •circuit and it proved one of the big features of the program. o RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM. Whereas. The Great Ruler of the Universe has in his infinte wisdom removed from our midst our worthy and esteemed Neighbor. Mrs. Lettie Enos; and Whereas. The intimate relation held by her with the members of this so cietV makes it fitting that we record out* appreciation of her: therefore be it Resolved That the removal of such a Neighbor from our number leaves a vacancy xjmd shadow that will be deeply realized by all members and their friends and will prove a grievous loss to this city and community. Resolved That with deep sympathy with the afflicted relatives and friends of the deceased, we express an earnest hope that even so great a bereavement may be overruled for their highest good Resolved. That the charter be draped and a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and newspapers. MARTHA HAY, ANNA BIGGS, CARTERINE CHRISTEN, Committee of Royal Neighbors.

HAS LOTS TO SAY A ■ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) twenty-nine inspectors to do the work would be impossible. The taxpayers are certainly not greatly peeved, as Candidate Goodrich would have yon believe, because instead of $35,000 turned into the treasury as the republicans did. the democrats, turned in (pl,ooo. , Tbe terrible discovery by Candidate Goodrich is just about as popular with the people in the final analysis when tlie facts are known, as is his denunciation of tlie fact that ft costs sixty-two cents a day to house, nurse give medical attention, provide food, clothing and all other things for each inmate In the central hospital for the insane. , If Mr. Goodrich were so unfortunate as to have a member of his own family, or any dear friend, as a patient in this institution, would he think that sixty-two cents a day was an extravagant outlay for all things provided for the comfort and maintenance and anticipated cure of tha dear friend or relative? He is going to have a very difficult time in appealing successfully to people who may have their friends or relatives ' in one of these public institutions of 1 the state. He also misunderstands the Hoosier people if he imagines they will sympathize with the sentiments ex- ! pressed by himself and Watson and New and Hentenway and Kealing on this subject.
