One of the most pleasant of all! pleasant anniversaries was that of Thursday, March 31st, the flfty-sev- I enth wedding anniversary of Mr- and Mrs. Henry Steele, and the third an- I nlversary ot the wedding of their eld- 1 est granddaughter, Nola Steele-Math- 1 ewson, and her husband, George ’ Mathewson. These events were cele- i brated jointly and a sow friends and ’ relatives invited to make merry with 1 them. At 7:30 in the evening a roy- i ally good supper was served and the ' evening otherwise spent with social i pleasures and the exchange of many ■ good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Henry : Steele were married in 1853, and per- 1 haps have been married longer than i any other couple living in the county. They are the parents of J. H. Steele, 1 the well known school teacher. Those : who were at the celebration w’ere Fred Bender and family, N. Mathewson and family, D. B. Roop and wife, Kit Cowan and wife, Mrs. E. H. Cowan, J. H. Steele and family and Roland Spangler and wife of Frankfort. Fred Goldner and Miss Lydia Worthman, daughter of Henry Worthman, of near Preble, were married Thursday evening at 5 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents by the Rev. Snyder, pastor of the German Reformed church at Magley. The wedding was a very quiet one, witnessed only by the Immediate relatives of the two families. The newly wedded couple will make their home on the Goldner homestead. Twenty-six of the members of the Woman’s Home Missionary society of the M. E. church were in attendance at the meeting at the home of Mrs. John Rex Thursday afternoon, that lady, assisted by Mrs. W. H. Fledderjohann, being the hostesses. -The i session opened at 2:30, a great many of the members going out on the 2.30 interurban car, through the courtesy of President Fledderjohann. The lesson study was in charge of Mrs. John Peterson, being a continuation of the reading “From Darkness to Light,” with readings Uy Mesdames Dan 1 Sprang, D. D. Heller, F. V. Mills, J. W. ’ Vail, John Niblick. The chief matter of the business session, probably was the annual election of officers. Mrs. John Niblick, who has served so ably as president for, four years, was reelected. The new official list is: President —Mrs. John Niblick. Vice President —Mrs. Dan Sprang. Recording and Corresponding Sec retary—Mrs. F. V. Mills. Assistant Secretary — Mrs. Dan Sprang. Treasurer—Mrs. Joe Helm. Assistant Treasurer —Mrs. J. M. Miller. Secretary of Literature —Mrs. David | Eley. I The society usually meets the first I Thursday in the month, but as the I time would fall during the conference I week at Bluffton, April 6th to lltlh, I it was decided to hold it this week. |. Henry Biting, the prominent farm- ! er living southwest of the city, was J given a royal surprise party Thurs- * day evening by a host of his neighs bora, the occasion being his birthday F anniversary. The party gathered at the homes of Andrew Miller and Ben Kohne and then went en masse to the Biting home. To say that he was surI prised would be putting it mildly, but 1 he soon recovered and joined with the others in the good time. There was music by Miss Mary Biting and i other amusements that passed the hours merrily. Miany good wishes for a long and prosperous life were extended to Mr. Eiting. I Wednesd-.y was the eighth birthday I anniversary of little Pascaline Smith I and to celebrate this important event | in her life all. of her classmates and l a great number of other little friends I were invited to make merry with her. L it was & merry scene therefore that I the Floyd Smith home, corner of I Fourth and Adams streets, presentI ed yesterday just after school hours, I 'with thirty-three little folk tripping merrily here and there. A flishig [ pond Improvised in one corner of the room was quite well patronized by each tot, wno tried her skill and was rewarded hot merely with a “bite” but a “catch,” that proved to be some dainty pretty little Easter souvenir. I Then came a glorious egg-hunt, and bright, colored beauties were pulled forth from their hiding places in every conceivable nook of the house and lawn. Florence Meyers found the greatest number and was awarded the prize. A great many other sports, so dear to the child life, were in order and then came the luncheon. This was given at the large table in the dining room, which took on splendor for the occasion, with its decorations of -green vines and cut flowers—and most glorious of all to the little ones—the birthday cake in the middle with Rs glowing eight candles. ■ ■ • '. a ■ — ■ o . FOR RiBNT—A new flffase In north part of city. Enquire of P. K. Kinney, the real estate agent over the interurban station. :

i, i<i ig—r■' Will Ward of this city and Charles i Sautbine of Craigville arrived home I Sunday afternoon from a three weeks’ I visit to Spokane, Washington, where they went In search of Philip O. Sautbine, a former resident here and who I has many relatives in this section, I who are greatly worried over his strange disappearance. The men who haVe just returned, report.that they did gll in their power to get some trace of their relative, but in vain. Had the earth opened up and swallowed him his disappearance ' could not have been more complete. From the time he left a comrade at a livery stable and started to get his supper before reporting fdr duty on the night police force, not a single trace of him can be found. It was found that he had accumulated some money, having a few hundred dollars In the bank, an interest in a team of horses and some other valuables. It it also believed he had other interests but as he did not tell his secrets to many people it was impossible to learn where the other property was, if he had any. The Spokane police will continue the search for him, though hope of finding his body has practically been abandoned. o Seven Decatur gentlemen, Scottish Rite Masons, traveled over the 'burning sands between here and Mlspah 1 Temple at Fort Wayne Friday after- ' noon and arriving there, traveled over some gravel, eveli more heated, this effort being necessary to Join the Shrtne lodge. The Decatur dele- I gation inculded-Messrs. O. L. Vanco, Charles Dunn, Dr. <Roy Archbold, C. A. Dugan, A. P. Beatty, D. M. Hen- ' sley and L. G. Ellingham. The initiation work began at 4 o’clock and continued for four hours, after which the candidates, there were fifty in all, were banqueted in hospitable style. During the banquet there were toasts from various candidates and members of the Shrine and it was a joyful event. The boys say RJs great and Decatur will no doubt furnish another bunch of candidates at the meeting next fall. Among those from here who assisted in giving the work to their friends were C. C. Schafer, W. P. Schrock, L. C. Waring and H. L. Confer. o A Denver, Colo, newspaper is authority for the statement that Prof. H. A. Hartman, professor of mathematics in the University of Colorado at Boulder, has accepted a position as superintendent of the schools at Marion, Ohio, where he will begin hjs duties next. September. Professor • Hartman passed through this city east a few weeks ago and it is supposed now that his. business there was to arrange this affair and sign the v contract. Professor Hartman was superintendent of the schools here and his many friends wish for him the success that they feel assured he will have in this new field. He is an educated gentleman and his wide experience makes him well qualified for this splendid placer His position with the Colorado university is one of the best in that high grade school. He has also been engaged in the rea lestate business in the west and has prospered. O : Our month of April is said to have gained its named from the Romans, who called it Aprilis, from the Latin word “aperire,” to open, because it was the season when the buds began to open. The Anglo Saxons called it Ooster, or Easter month, and the Dutch, grass month. The custom of sending one upon a bootless errand on the first day of the month is perhaps a travesty of the sending hither and thither of the Savior from Annas to Caiaphas, and from Pilate to Her od, because during the middle ages this scene in Christ’s life was made the subject of a miracle play at Easter which occurs usually in the month of April. It is possible, however, that it may be a relic of some old heathen festival. The custom, whatever its origin, of playing little tricks on this day, whereby ridicule may be fixed upon unguarded individuals, appears to be universal throughout Europe, so this is one thing that America may not be blamed wholly for, as the custom no’ doubt originated there. In France, one thus imposed upon is call“polsson d’ Avril” (an April fish). In England and the United States such a person is called an April Fool, and in Scotland, a gowk. The favorite known well enough here, too—to send some one upon an errand for something grossly nonsensical, or to make appointments which are not to be kept or to call to a passerby that his latchet is unloosed, or that there is a spot of mud on his face. All these, however, would seem mighty tame to the modern American boy. It is curious to note that the Hindus practice precisely similar tricks on the 31st of March in each year, when they hold what is called the Hull Festival. , ■■■»■ , o. ■— Mrs. Grace Moser and son, Odley, and her niece, Miss Velta Johnson, weht to Fort Wayne Saturday ,to visit friends. ’» -

-MX.-*-. ..i.... Uwa,- ■ .. ■ ..w...- a ■-! THE SOUND SLEEP OF GOOD HEALTH i The restorative power of sound sleep cannot be over estimated ,and any ailment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southern, Eau Claire, Wis., says: “For a long time I have been unable to sleep soundly nights because of pains across my back and soreness of my kiddneys. My appetitite was very poor and my condition was much run down. I have been taking Foley’s Kidney Pills but a short time and now sleep as sound as a rock. I eat and enjoy my meals and my general condition is greatly improved. I can honestly recommend Foley’s Kidney Pills as I know they have cured me.” The Holthouse Drug o Pointers on Poultry. Mrs. D. A. Brooks, Sturgis, Ky., says: “I have been using Bourbon Poultry Cure and think, it is the best poultry remedy I have ever used. If you will get our druggist here to handle it I can recommend it I am an old hand at raising chickens and so many come to me for pointers on poultry. Sold by H. H. Bremerkamp. „ —Q . HAD SMASH-UP AT MILL. Vince Bell of Craigville was in Bluffton this morning and he was not in the most cheerful frame of mind, for the reason that his sawmill at Craigville was compelled to shut down for a few days until repairs could be made, the result of an accident Thursday afternoon. Still he is taking consolation in the fact that the accident was not so bad as it might have been and that it really was a fortunate thing for him that an employe of the mill was close to the engine when the spindle to the governor snapped. With the break the controlling power of the engine was gone and it started to run away, and but for the fact that' one of the men reached it almost instantly and shut off the steam the machinery would likely have been badly smashed up. Mr. Bell this morning sent to Columbus, Ohio, for another new spindle and until it arrives his mill is idle.—Bluffton News. A. L. Sharpe was in Decdtur Thursday afternoon on legal business. He was in consultation there with the prosecuting attorney in the case against Abraham Boegly of Berne, charged with manslaughter because of the death last summer of Mrs. Albert Kindle when her buggy was struck by Boegly’s motorcycle. Mr. Sharpe was employed by Mr. Kindle to assist in the prosecution.—Bluffton News. , Q SAVED FROM THE GRAVE. * "I had about given up hope, after nearly four years of suffering from a severe lung trouble,” writes Mrs. M. L. Dix of Clarksville, Tenn. “Often the pain in my chest would be almost unbearable and I could not do any work, but Dr. King’s New Discovery has made me feel like a new person. It’s the best medicine made for the throat and lungs.” Obstinate coughs, stubborn colds, hay fever, lagrlppe, asthma, croup, bronchitis and hemorrhages, hoarseness and whooping cough yield quickly, to this wonderful medicine.

GILPEN, 44t6 Wayland, Mich. o Those who attended the musical given at Bluffton Friday evening by the Decatur-Bluffton men’s and women’s choruses, which have been under training for some time by Prof. C. F. Tucker of Marion, report that the musical was a very successful one. Those who represented the choruses from this city were Mrs. J. Q. Neptune, Mrs. Louis Holthouse and Miss Florence Sprunger. There was quite a disappointment in the fact that Miss Gertrude Moses, who was to have served as pianist, was sick and could not be there. Miss Moses had gone during the first part of the week to Marion and while there suffered an attack: of rheumatism and had been unable to leave the house since. Her place was fi’led by a student of Professor Tucker’s. CONDUCTOR WHO WAS CURED Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and he writes about it —“Some time ago I was confined to my bed with chronic rheumatism. I used two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy with good effect, and the third bottle put me on my feet and I resumed work as conductor on the Lexington, Ky., street railway. It gave me more relief than any medicine I ever used, and it will do all you claim in cases of rheumatism.” Foley’s Kidney Remedy cures rheumatism by eliminating the uric acid from the blood.

Saunders, a former resident of this city, when he was for a time editor of the Portland Sun, and interested in other enterprises, has located permanently in Oklahoma City, where he has purchased a good block of stock in the Warden-Ebright Printing company, of a big job printing establishment, which does a business similar to that of the W. B. Burford -company and others in Indiana, dealing chiefly in state, county and township supplies. In addition to his investment Mr. Saunders will enter the office at a good salary.
