The porch at the home of Mrs. C. D. Lewton will present a lovely appearance this evening, when fifteen ladies will be entertained In compliment to Miss Elizabeth Melville, of Ft. Wayne, and Mrs. B. B. Uhl, of Mansfield, Ohio. The Dollar Social which occurred Thursday night from eight until ten o’clock at the home of Mrs. Henry Winneg, was not only a success from a financial standpoint, but socially, too. After the arrival of the guests, each lady who belonged to the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Baptist church, related how she earned her dollar. This proved to be very interesting. At s>the close erf the program ice cream and cake was served. The collection amounted to $24.00, which shows the great work thia society has done since the previous meeting. ONo league baseball for Hartford City is the verdict of the stockholders of the local association who held a meeting Sunday afternoon to determine whether or not it would, be profitable to enter the proposed Indiana-Ohio league. The attendance at the games in this city has been miserable, and thg managers fear the association would not fare well financially if in a league. Then there would be three umpires to come in for their bit each month and that would put an additional crimp in the bank roll. —Hartford City Gazette. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children.

She was born in Wells county, near Craigville, fortysix years ago, where she was reared and received her early education. She was united in marriage a number of years ago t,o William Pillars, and during their married life made this city her home. Although she had been known to have been sick, her condition was not considered serious among . her friends, and her sudden demise came as a shock to the entire community. The funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at three thirty o’clock at the home. Rev. Wilcox will officiate, and Interment will be made in the Decatur cemetery. o — TAYLOR STRANGER THAN EVER Ths Upland College Expects to Profit from Recent Agitation. ' Taylor university of Upland, the institution of learning backed by the local association of the Methodist Episcopal church, will no doubt profit greatly by the recent agitation in which attempt was made by some parties to move it to Muncie without legal process. The only thing the Muncie institution purloined was the name, but those interested in boosting the Upland institution feel confident that the wide publicity of the affair will set matters right and that none need be led into wrong paths by getting the two schools confused. Already the Upland school has heard from many quarters and promises of hearty cooperation are extended. To avail itself of the situation and to make the most of its opportunities it is necessary that Taylor university now be backed as strongly as possible. It is said that the present turning point means the making of a great school if only the proper support is. given. George C. Ulmer, of Upland, the financial agent of/ Taylor university. states that it is the desire to raise $25,000 for, the institution in Grant county and after this the institution may see fit to go outside the county and obtain support x Every Woman Will Be Interested.

Neal, deputy insurance commissioner. This sum will represent the taxes that the foreign insurance companies pay the state for the right to do business here. These companies are taxed $3 for each SIOO of premium receipts over and above the losses paid, and this year closed July 1, and the companies are now sending in the statements of business done during that period, in order that their taxes may be figured up. The taxes for this six months’ period are smallt/r than those for the six months ending January 7, 1907, when about $175,000 was paid into the state treasury. Either more insurance was written during that period than during the six months’ period just past or the losses were greater than usual. To one of these factors, Mr. Neal attributes the falling off in receipts. Formerly these insurance taxes and fees were paid to the auditor of state, and it was this money that David ■ E. Sherrick was alleged [to have embezzled when he was state auditor. Since the Sherrick trouble, however, all of the state auditors have not taken in these taxes. They have been figured up by the insurance commissioner in the auditor’s office and a statement of the amount due sent to the companies. The companies then send the taxes direct to the state treasurer. ■ _« o A'well’known’ farmer~living a lew miles north of here makes two tfips to Ft. Wayne each week to sell his produce.

> • OBITUARY. It is the duty of the Chronicler of . events to engrave another name in ! the roll of the departed. This time iit is the mother of a happy family circle. The nurturing, homemaking, . loving mother and parent is taken I from the side of her strong comp inion and from the midst of her expectant little ones. Emma Bertha Boch, nee Peterson, • was bom on September 4, 1870, on ’ her father’s, farnj in SL Marys township, Adams county, Indiana. She was the youngest of a family of seven children. As such she naturally re3 ceived the fond love and affection of her parents in turn, doubt--3 lessly added much to the kind and mild disposition which she showed in her home and in the circle • of her friends and acquaintances. Her mother proceeded her to the spirit world 5 while her father, Isaac Peterson, still remains residing at Decatur. More--1 over, three brothers have died, while two brothers and one sister remain to mourn her early death. She was married to Abe Boch on the 6th day of October, 1891. Seven children were born to them, two of which have died. Those remaining are Richard. Eva, Wanetta, Wayne and Gertrude. = Mrs. Boch cherished her Christian training. At the age of ten years she gave her heart united with 5 Salem Evangelical church, and rer malned a member of the same unto her • death. She was an earnest church 1 worker until detained by urgent home cares Her amiable disposition and kindness of nature won for her many friends. She was not given to mingle ■ freely in society, but to the service r and care of her home. Her sickness r dates to about a year ago. After her recovery from typhoid fever, she continued to ail and finally, upon the adt vice of her physician, submitted to t an operation. She departed this life ' at St. Josephs hospital, Ft. Waynq, • June 22, 1907, having attained to the > age of 36 years, p months and 18 days. 1 The funeral was conducted from the home, east of the city, by the Rev. A. B. Haist, who spoke on the words “Let not your hearts be troubled” and ’ paid a fitting tribute to the memory of the departed.. The funeral was one of the largest in attendance seen in the community. The many rich floral tributes also betoken the esteem in which the deceased was held and the sympathy which the community feels for the bereaved husband and family. Her remains were tenderly laid to rest ■ in beautiful Decatur cemetery to await • the final call. o Circuit and Superior court judges . in Indiana whose circuits cover more than one county, will continue to receive the S3OO a year for traveling expenses that was allowed them by' . the legislature of 1903, according to a decision handed down at Indiana- ■ polls by Judge Vinson Carter, of the superior court. The case is one that i has excited considerable interest among judges and attorneys generally over the state, as it affects a ma- , jority of the circuit and superior judges of Indiana. o CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE. “It is now eleven years since I had a narrow escape from consumption,” writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business man of Kqrshaw, S. C. “I had run down in weight to 135 pounds, and coughing was constant, both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery, and continued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were entirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds.” Thousands of persons are healed every year.
