One of the' most enjoyable of the social affairs of the year was the banquet tendered the retiring members, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Moltz, and the members of the new firm of the Boston store, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kueb-* ler and Oscar Lankenau, by the employees of the firm Wednesday evening. The cloak room of the store, with its fine carpetings and draperies and long tables, over which the light from innumerable chandeliers, was shed, was the place chosen, and was a very cheery scene, while storms raged without—for this party, Bohemian and unconventional, as it was Intended to be. The table was covered with a cheery red cloth and the center adorned with a large white birthday cake <m which twinkled in greetings, twen-ty-nine candles of many colors —thia coming aa a surprise to the junior member of the firm —Oscar Lankenau, whose twenty-ninth birthday an nirersary occurred Wednesday and in honor of which event the banquet was net for Wednesday. Plates were laid for fifteen, the party including Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Moltz, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kuebler, Messrs. Oscar Lankenau, Daniel Dona van, Otto. Green, Arthur Mangold, John Harris; Mrs. Carrie Sutherland, Misses Louise Hobrock, Jessie McLean, Eleanor Forbfng, Edna Crawford, Lettie. Lang. The menu follows: Cheese sandwiches, potato chips, wienerwiirst, sardines, rye bread and butter, pickles, olives, coffee, cake. During the course of the supper a number of toasts, original and witty, and abounding iq “roasts” rich and savory for those to whom they were directed, were given, Miss Edna Crawford serving as toastmaster. A very good part of the program was the speech made at the close by Oscar Lankenau, the new member of the firm, and his address is said to have been a most excellent one indeed. He said in substance that he appreciated the birthday remembrance, and hoped that the banquets might be made annual affairs, in which Mr. and Mrs. Moltz, though they had severed connection with-the firm, might always be included. He stated that during his fourteen years of employment there, he had striven to the utmost to be a help to the firm, and intended to continue as in the past, and hoped that they might all work together for mutual good and advancement Fallowing the dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Moltz lasc week and the banquet given this week by the employes, Mr. and Mrs. Kuebler will carry fes-

Crozier, ■ a former blacksmith of Seventh street ' in this city, will be pleased to learn ■ that, he has recovered from an oper- . ation for appendicitis, which was per- , formed two weeks ago at the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne, and has been discharged, returning to Ms family in Union township Tuesday. Mr. Crozier will fully recover, and will in a short time move his family again to this city and manage his blacksmith shop, which he had leased to another man during his illness.

He was injured several weeks ago by being violently jerked about by a hone which he was shoeing, the injury later developing into appendicitis. Doctors stating that the only relief could be obtained by an operation, he leased the shop and the family returned to their old home in Union township until the outcome could be determined. His friends will rejoice with him in his restoration to health and will be glad to greet him at his old place of business. - ——— a— — '■— Lou Mailand and his brother, Charles, who a month or so ago left for several places in the south on a pleasure trip, and also to benefit their health, returned to the city last Thursday. While gone they visited at Houston, Galveston, Kingsbury and San Antonio, Texas. that the weather there is fine, andwarm and that the people are busy how picking the cotton crop.

The former will leave in a day ot so for Lincoln, Nebraska, Where he Will visit with his brother and sister for about a month. After that he will again return here and be at his usual place of business. ~ THE GROUND HOG SEASON. Groundhog day, as susual, will come on February 2nd. Upon that day, according to the most reliable information and best traditions, his hogship will emerge from his hole and take a look at the weather conditions. If the sky is clear at sunrise and the little animal sees his shadow he will retire to his wintering place and remain six more weeks, satisfied and sure that there will be just that much more cold, bad weather. On the other hand, if the sky is clouded and the groundhog cannot see his shadow, he will have good cause to believe that springtime is hear and he will remain out of his hole and go to hustling for food. . o— ....—. Floyd Roop, son of James Roop, living a few miles east of this city, in Van Wert County, Ohio, who wad so very badly injured while Working on a dredge near Chicago several months ego, has totally recovered from his injuries and called on friends in Decatur Wednesday. That the young man lived through his terrible experience is a wonder, as his head was nearly severed from his body, his throat being cut from ear to ear, and a terrible gash inflicted into the bone at the back of the neck, his lungs exposed in two places, and many other injuries of minor Importance. While working on a gravel dredge he stooped to walk between two ropes attached to a pulley, when he was caught by them and dragged into the pulley. Following the accident he was seventeen weeks In a Chicago hospital, where only the best science known to the medical profession has saved his life. During that time his brother, the Rev. Carl Roop, aided in saving his brother’s life by sacrificing a portion of his skin, which was grafted to the injured man;. The Injuries have now all healed, but the young man wilt bear the scars to his grave. I

At the time she left it [ was believed she had been induced to i go away by a womari\named Hizer, who it was though was engaged in the “white sltfve” traffic. Recently it was , learned that the Hizer woman was ; working in toe Great Northern hotel at Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Blazer raised the money among their acquaintences and Mr. Blazer went to Chl- ■ cago Monday. Assisted by toe authorities he located the Hizer woman, who said that Minnie left here a week be- . fore she did, but that they met in Td- ' ledo, where they forked otte week, ; then went to Detroit, where they secured work In a hotel. Later Miss] i Blazer went to work at toe Young] ! Woman’s Christian association : and last August toe. Hizer woman • went to Chicago and had not heard from Minnie since. The Blazers are now investigating the Detroit story and are determined to find their ’ daughter if possible. ■ — -o •• — • i Mrs. Maty Scott returned Mon- ■ day to her home at Magley, having • been called here by the illness of her • son-in-law, Will Parr, and babe, who were very sick last week from toe-ef-fects of ptomaine poison, caused, it was thought, by eating cheese. She reports that they have nearfy recov-l » ered from the awful effects, and may ■ consider themselves lucky that they • escaped with their lives. Mr. Parr > and the two-year-old daughter had tot-1 i en of the cheese at supper time, alter ! Which Mr. Parr took his gun and went! I out hunting. He had been out walk-1 I ing but a very short time when he be- ■ came Very sick, but fortunately the exI erclse caused by walking had acted as] > an emetic, and he was obliged to vomit • several, times. Much weakened, he ! hastened home and was alarmed to 1 find that the babe had also become ■ deathly sick. That night her condition was very serious indeed, and the child lay in terrible spasms, and at times her life Was despaired of. The doctor stated that it was poisoning fe&n the . cheese that caused the illness,- ' and > that the walk taken by Mr. Parr, who 1 had eaten more ot the cheese than the : child, had no doubt saved hta life. ■ The fact that Mrs. Parr had a headache at supper time and had eaten i nothing, except to tase the cheese*; fe- ’ marking, however, on its excellence, ' caused her to escape. 1 —Q -- — - ~ T vOw » Twenty-five years of happy marital l life for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hellfant reached a joyous climax Sunday, Jani uary 30th, in a silver jveddlng cele- • bration, in which a company of relai tlves and friends to the number of ■ seventy-five shared, mingling in that] • circle of-good fellowship and cheer : that grows more and more in fullness with the passing years, making the • silver wedding one of greater happi- , new than the first Music and games • contributed to the general good time i and the festal board, round which all , gathered at supper time, was spread ; with a repast of substantiate and daln- • ties that would have shaded one hf I Delmonlco's menus into utter lnsig-|
