— Mrs. L. G. Elllngham entertained a number of members of the federated woman’s clubs of the city, as representatives Friday evening at her home on Winchester street and “gave her report (of <the twelfth district convention of the Indiana state federation of women’s clubs, recently held at Anderson. Opening the program, Mrs. Elllngham said that Mrs. Durbin, district chairman, called the meeting, and a very large number of delegates attended, and that the enthusiasm and earnestness of the women were remarkable. The address of welcome was given and Mrs. Ellingham responded. A number of women, chairmen of various departments of club work and study, talked on their department of 'Study. Domestic science, literature, music and forestry and other subjects were the topics of discourse. *lt was brought before the meeting that no club could improve without having some worthy object to accomplish. Mrs. gave an Interesting account ana report of the national meeting of federated clubs' of the country at Boston last year, during her stay and attendance at the national convention as a delegate Mrs. Niblick heard many of the most prominent women of the country speak. She told of several discussions by well known .women who said that the club women could help the sewing women of large cities, by getting these women in a sanitary place, where they received sufficient money. Miss Irene Shirmeyer played on the piona several times. In order to see who could write the most quotations, cards were to each guest. Miss Annette Johnson was successful, having twenty. Late in the evening refreshments were served and a pleasant social ehjoyed. This was an after meeting of the club, as the last regular meeting was held some time ago. Next fall the club will resume their work and continue until next spring.

William King, aged thirty years, for two years a respected resident of Preble township!, died at his late home Friday noon subsequent to a two week’s siege of appendicitis in which he suffered much pain. Mr. King was taken sudaeniy ill about two weeks ago, although , serious complications were not anticipated, He gradually grew worse, however, and physicians were called to Investigate his illness, and although his case was too far. advanced to hope to relieve the unfortunate man, an operation was performed as the last and only chance to prolong his life. The operation was performed last Friday, and the afflicted man steadily declined until the time of his demise. Short funeral services were conducted from the home yesterday by Rev. Valentine after which the body was shipped to Marion, the former home of the deceased, where funeral services were held Sunday morning at the M. E church of that place. A widow and two cfelldren with respective ages of three and five years, beside innumerable friends survive to mourn the departure of the estimable man. The deceased with his family came to this county from Wells county two years ago and settled on a farm in Preble township, where he had won the admiration of all who knew him by his upright principles and kind disposition. The death of Mr. King was untimely and it is thought that if the operation would have been performed before the appendix bursted his life could have been spared.

According to attorneys in the case the Studabaker-Faylor suit will come up for trial in Decatur, May 24, and there will be no continuance. One of the attorneys said last night that he would insist that the case come up for trial this month. During that week there will practically be a vacation of the attorneys’ offices in this city, as a large number of them are Interested in the case.—Bluffton Banner. Silas Pulse, of Warren, merchant, farmer, philosopher, politician, has sixty-five producing oil wells scattered over 600 acres of his farm, but it takes more than a ten cent drop in oil to disturb him. The sixty-five wells have been producing about 1,100 barrels of oil monthly giving Mr. Pulse a.royalty of about S2OO. When these I wells were fiiwc drilled the production was so heavy that Mr. Pulse got about $1,600 monthly as - his share. His earnings from the oil have been greatly reduced, but as Mr. Pulse says, “S2OO per month isn’t so bad.” Dry folks at Muncie think they have solvetWhe problem. A plan has been proposed to sell the stock in the Muncie Brewing company to 2,000 or more persons and to keep the plant going by supplying the home and family trade of stockholders in that manner. A share of stock, according to the plan would cost a dollar and this would entitle the owner to be a customer of the company, as he would be in the position of selling liquor to himself. This is said to have been worked successfully elsewhere under similar conditions. Otherwise the company, which is now in the hands of a receiver, must go to the wall.

Mr. Whitney has disposed of the half interest) in the Van Camp mill and will leave with his wife for Chicago this evening. His health has not been the best for some time, and a proposal to sell was accepted by Mr. Van Camp, The Whitneys came here from Michigan about January Ist, and have a number of acquaintances who wteh them well in the future.
