FOUR BTORIEB IN HEIGHT I ■ • I - -■> •. . . *i , v . Ledge Autherixes the Trustees to Arrange for the Work—To Be Modern in Every Respect. At the annual business session of the K. of P. lodge Thursday evening the question of erecting a modern business block on their lots on Second street between the Hensley jewelry store and Everett, Hite and Co.’s grocery was thoroughly discussed. Various views were expressed, resulting in a motion, authorizing the trustees to at once take the preliminary steps toward the building of such a block. The vote almost unanimously favored the proposition, and the trustees were given full and complete power. The trustees are E. B. Lenhart, O. L. Vince, and Horace Callow, three of the city’s most enterprising business men and it is safe to say that the new block will be the finest in the city. Mr. Lenhart was interviewed this morning and says he is in favor of a four-story building, built in a modern way. The lot is 66 by 132, and such 1 building would certainly be a monument to our city. The plans in view at this time include two first floor business rooms, offices on second and third floors, with a passenger elevator, furnace, heat, light, water and all other twentieth century improvements. Oscar Hoffman, who is a member of the lodge, will very likely be asked to draw the plans, and estimates as to the probably cost will then be obtained. As soon as proper financial arrangements can then be made the contract will be let. It is probable the trustees will not be able Co arrange for work to begin on the new block this fall, but all details will be taken care of, assuring the construction of the beautiful K. of P. home early next spring. There is a demand for business houses in Decatur and this building will no doubt be rented before completed. It will be an ideal business and office block, and the lodge deserves praisg for their progressiveness. 0 The Phi Delta Kappa Grand council, consisting of delegates from the chapters of Bluffton, Muncie, Portland, Marion and other cities met Wednesday evening at the chapter house in Marion to take action regarding the attitude of city school boards toward the fraternity. The boys decided not to fight the question but agreed that as most of the members do not belong to high schools that that institution had no right to interfere with their organization. In point of membership in the order of Knights of Pythias. Indiana stands second in the list with over 60,000 members. Ohio leads with a total of 72,000 Knights within her borders. The Knights have had 1 remarkable growth since the order was first organized in 1864, during the civil war. Today there are in round numbers 7,000,000 K. of P.’s in the United States. o WORKED LIKE A CHARM. Mr. D. N.

EVENT WAS HAPPY ONE Bride Was Former Decatur Girl— Mlm Fannie Hite Attended the Delightful Affair. Miss Fannie Hite attended th 3 wedding of Miss Nell Hale to Mr. Walter Grove Thursday evening, at Bluffton, The Banner gave the following account of the affair: At the home of Mrs. Mary Hale, on east Central avenue, the wedding of her daughter, Miss Nell Hale, to Mr. Walter Grove was solemnized last night. Seventh-five relatives and friends <were assembled in anticipation of the event, Miss Bess Hale and Amos Hale, sister and brother of the bride, receiving them. For the occasion the interior of the home had been becomingly decorated with potted plants and cut flowers. In the bay window in the living room an arch had been erected of smilax, from which was suspended the wedding bell. With Miss Blanche Dailey at the piano playing the Lohengrin wedding march, the bridal party entered the room from the dining room, taking its stand beneath the canopy where, by the ring ceremony, they were united for life. Miss DeVeta Bayman, of Springfield, 0., a neice of the bride, and Miss Edna Cline, of Ft. Wayne, were the flower bearers. With baskets of sweet peas and carrying the pink and white ribbons for the ailse, they preceded the party, the grom and Rev. J. K. Cecil, the officiating clergyman, following while the bride came last, unattended. Miss Pearl Sayler sang softly a flitting solo during the taking of the vows. The bride wore a gown of white net over white taffeta silk and carried bride’s roses. The little flower bearers were attired in white. Mr. and Mrs. Grove spent last night at the home of Mr. Grove's sister, Mrs. Wilfred Vanemmon, southwest of town, successfully avoiding all the plans of their friends in preventing them to go ’ undisturbed to their destination for the night. They returned this morning to their own home on east Central avenue, already furnished for them by the groom. Miss Hale is a member of the Delta Sigma fraternity of this city and highly respected. The groom' is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Grove and a well respected young man. He is a machinist by trade.

SUE TO SAVE GRANDSTAND. ———— Portland Firm to Foreclose Mechanic’s Lien on Ball Park. Portland, Ind., eSpt. 20.—Suit has been filed in the Circuit court, by Cline and Wilt, to foreclose a mechanic’s lien filed by them a year ago, against the new grandstand at the Portland base ball park, the amount claimed being $577.75. It is asserted that lumber and other materials of the value above named were furnished by the plaintiffs during the month of July, 1906, at the special instance and request of the plaintiffs, and that no part of the same has yet been paid. At the end of 60 days required by law the lien was filed, on Sept. 19, 1906. On the last day on which there would have been a right to protect themselves by the foreclosure of the lien, the suit was filed, the demand being for S6OO. The filing of the suit, it has been stated, was not for the purpose of forcing a judgment and sale of the property, but only to protect the claim, which, under the law, was required to be sued within one year of the filing of the lien. o Word is sent out from Indianapolis to the effect that the state railroad commissioners are going to require express companies to deliver all packages sent by express to all parts of towns and cities over 2,500 in population free of charge. There has been no particular complaint on this matter in Decatur, the agents for many years past having delivered express packages to all parts of the city; but in many other towns of the state agents have not been so good about it. Outside of prescribed limits, they refused to deliver packages unless paid for doing so. The railroad commission will order the change and trouble will follow if their orders are not obeyed. o — Leon Locke, who left Thursday for El Paso, Texas, in company with Mort Justus, has a fine position there Immediately upon his arrival. lie will be installed as assistant steward of the eating house system of the Rock Island railroad lines, known as the Harvey system, from the fact that a man by the name of Harvey controls all the eating houses. He has restauI rants and eating houses at all of the , principal stations and Leon’s work 1 will be to travel up and down the line looking after the interests of these restaurants.—Bluffton News.

BEVEN NOW IN THE RING It la Thought Likely That the Candidates in the Last Campaign Will Be Renominated. •’p - • i ''■*! ■ '■ 11 •/' Joseph Reilly, secretary of the Democratic state committee, who is keeping tab on the Democratic aspirants for governor, made two fresh chalk marks today. These marks stand for two new gubernatorial possibilities— Mont Hathaway, of Winamac, former member of the Democratic state committee, and J. D. Boehne, mayor of Evansville. “There are now seven candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor,” said Mr. Reilly. “They are Samuel Ralston, of Lebanon; L. Ert Slack, of Franklin; Tom Marshall, of Columbia City; Mont Hathaway, of Winamac; Richard K. Erwin, of Decatur; Mayor Boehne, of Evansville, 'and Daniel W. Simms, of Lafayette.” It was suggested that none of these men has made a formal announcement. “There are active candidates all the same,” replied Mr. Reilly. “In the Democratic party there are no formalities connected with running for office. When an aspirant gets ready he just whales away and runs. He does not consider it necessary to issue a long pronunciation into his views as to the best methods of policing the Philippines and deploring the high price of sausages in Germany.” One interesting question confronting the Democratic leaders is in relation to the Democratic candidate for state statistician. It is generally believed in political circles that Miss Mary Stubbs will be the Republican nominee for statistician and the opinion is expressed among prominent Democrats that it will be advisable for the Democracy also to nominate a woman for that office. Several members of the fair sex who claim allegiance to the Democratic party, have confessed to Mr. Reilly that they have an ambition to make the race against Miss Stubbs. The Democratic candidate for state statistician in the last campaign was David Curry, of Farmersburg. According to Secretary Reilly’s information the other Democratic candidates of last year probably will be renominated. They are: Secretary of state, J. F. Cox, Columbus; auditor of state, Marion Bailey, Lizton; treasurer of state, John Isenberger, North Manchester; attorney general, Walter Lotz, Muncie; superintendent of public instruction, Professor Robert J. Aley, Blomington. o HE IS PICKLING A LEMON. Congressman Landis is Working His Enemies to a Finish. Ninth district men are beginning to suspect that Charles Beary Landis, congressional incumbent therabouts, is picking a “lemon” for his foes in the district. It is whispered in Hamilton county, where anti-Landis sentiment rampages perennially, that Harry C. Sehridan, of Clinton county, is only a Landis "stalking horse.” This seems reasonable. It is not likely that Mr. Sheridan, a good, home-town friend of District Chairman Dinwiddle, at Frankfort, would be running against Mr. Dinwiddle’s good friend. C. B. Landis, so long as Mr. Landis is in the congressional race. Mr. Landis stood in with the Goodrich crowd when Mr. Dinwiddle was made district chairman, and now the “crowd” is reciprocating by playing the Landis game for the next congressional nomination. The Sheridan candidacy against Landis is not such stuff as should give the anti-Landis people any good reason to be hopeful ot bringing about Landis’ defeat. —Indianapolis Sun.

There will be a fair supply of walnuts and hickory nuts this year, ’the hazel nut especially will be plentiful. Small boys, who have been in the woods this early investigating matters. report that the prospects for a good nut supply is very promising. The fact that the summer has had more rain than usual has made all nuts fill out well and all that is needed now to make the crop one of the best for several seasons is a hard frost. While getting ready for her morning plunge a young society girl of Lima discovered something bright and shining in the clear water. It proved to be a white diamond, which looked as though it had never been set. None of the family had lost such a treasure. How it got in the tub is a mystery, unless it came direct from the faucet, having been lost in the reservoir. A Certain Cure for Aching Feet. Shake into your shoes Alien’s FootEase, a powder.

Word was received Friday afternoon from Van Wert. Ohio, announcing that Rev. Stoops, a former minister of this city, was in a very serious condition suffering from kidney trouble and that his death was expected to occur at any moment. The news was received by Mrs. James Gay, who is a sister of Mrs. Stoops, and she was informed to deliver the news to Mrs. William Graham, at Monroe, and at the same time informing them that if they desired to see him alive to come to Van Wert at once. Rev. Stoops, it will be remembered, was for a number of years pastor of the Evangelical church of this city during which time he gave universal satisfaction. Since that time he had been transferred to Van Wert by the conference and for several years past has been officiating at that place. The news of his untimely illness was received with considerable surprise by his many friends here, who had not been aware of the fact that he was ailing. Mrs. Gay and Mrs. Graham expect to leave some time today for Van Wert to assist in comforting Mrs. Stoops during this trying ordeal. c Ninety-three acres of good land, two and one-half miles from Willshire, for sale for $6,000.

THEY ALL MADE GOOD AVERAGES Five Batted Over the Three Hundred Clip—Last Dope of the Season. According to the dope as figured out by official score keeper Fred Vaughn, “Biddy” Burns our sensational left fielder was the premier hit ter on the local team this season, he clouting the ball at a three hundred and forty-three clip. He was closely followed by Witham, first baseman, with .345, Johnson being next with .333. Out of fifteen men we had five men hitting over three hundred. Laxon and Richardson being the other two. In fielding Winger was the real leader, he having made but one error in twenty-two games, while Johnson had but one error, the number of chances handled makes Winger the leader. Burns, our left fielder, hid but three errors all season, his average being .963. Engle, our fast little pitchr, had the porest batting and fielding average of the bunch. BATTING AVERAGES. Names G.
