A dispute over whether the windows should be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom, occurred at the Waring Glove factory at about 10 ©’clock Thursday, and as a result about forty-five girls walked out For several years it has been the custom during the hot weather to lower the to wiiui Q five inches of the bottom, and rated tfih windows that amount,, thus giving ventilation both Below and' above. In addition electric fans are used inside to keep the air circulating,. A naw forelady, Miss Annai Parent tesgan; VOfk. this week snjii Mta was ma& ©I her that the windows be raised insteau ered. This was refused, because the management believed the other plan the best for all concerned and the waHt-out followed. The occurrence did not seem to bother the management in the least. In fact, Mr. Waring said, that at this season of\ the year the factory could make money By shu+ting down, but it is kept running in order to keep the girls employed and thus have the force ready when the busy season comes on. The factory at this time employs about ninety girls, of which number about half remained on duty. — O—ITALY SAYS CHARLTON IS GUILTY to (United Press Service.)

J. Beveridge will be present and that, there will be a general discussion of the plan of campaign to Be followed during the summer. There fe talk now that In view of the way President Taft cam© out in his legistetive program there will be a change tn the plans for the Indiana contest. The Insurgents started off with A great rush several weeks pgo at the state convention, but it is said that Chairman Lee and others have found ft strong drift favorable to President Taft 1 and that they are counseling Senator Beveridge and his associates not* to go too heavy on the insurgent feature- Some, of the congressional 1 nominees are pledged by their conventions ih favor of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Others have platforms which contain no tariff plank. Efforts are to b 1 . to reconcile matters so that thore will, be no . friction during the campaign. * Indianapolis, Ind., June 30 —Efforts are being made to bring about a more harmonious condition among the republicans of the Eight district which Congressman Adair of Portland has carried twice by large majorities. It is admitted that factional disturbances among the republicans gave Adair his oportunity, and he was shrewd enough to make good. Frank Snyder, an attorney at Portland, is,, now being urged to make the race for conferees. He is regarded as 'a good campaigner. He was identified with the opposition of George W. Cromer, but the latter is a candidate for the nomination for judge of the superior court of Delaware and Grant counties’. It is said that many of the anti-Cromer men are helping him and that, his chances of landing the nomination are bright. If he gets on the ficket with the assistance of his oldfine opponents it is thought that a Jong step toward sraightenlng out the tangle will have been taken. Captain Ells, one of Cromer’s friends, is •n the ticket in Delaware county for judge of the circuit court. It is said that many of the Cromer men are in- . sisting on Judge Joseph Leffler of Muncie making the race for congress. Judge Leffler is popular throughout

the district, and it Is reported that Cromen men are anxious to stand for Bfm, although he was counted as one of their opponents in former struggles. At this time It is said that either Judge Lejfler or Snyder would be acceptable to most of the republicans of the district. Albert Vestal of An dfcnron fs still talked of for the congressional" nomination in the Eighth, but'no one seems to know definitely whether he intends to make the race ft is very likely that the republicans will hold" their congressional conventfOn in the Eighth during July. ■ ■■' i o—--About thirteen of the heaviest stockholders of the former Decatur Peck-

s Ing company met Thursday at 1 r o’clock to talk over plans for organlzt Inga new company for the purchase 9 of the Decatur Packing company’s t plant which will be sold at receiver’s f sale July 20th. This plant has been i closed for several months since the > appointment of a receiver to close up i the business. The plant is a valua- : ble one, one of the greatest and best in this part of the country, and those who have already put a lot of money in the plant cannot afford to see it : ylng idle. A big effort will be made to put the plant on.its feet again and have It in operation within a short time. MRS. TRICH GROWING WEAKER. A message received by Mrs. J. W, Vail this afternoon at 3 o’clock from J. C. Trltch at Bloomington, states that his wife, who was operated upon Wednesday, is suffering terribly, growing weaker, and her condition is dangerous.

Martinsville, Ind., June 30 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Frank C. Tilley of Terre Haute was nominated for I congress by acclamation by tne Fifth district republicans here today. Protective tariff was endorsed without mentioning the Payne-Aldrich bill and the creation of a tariff commission was urged. Taft and Beverdge, together with the state ticket, were endorsed. Mrs. J. F. Hartsog of Hammond, who was making a visit here with relatives, left this morning for Rockford, for a short stay there also. A Portland dispatch in the Muncie Star yesterday told of W. H. Ambrosier, formerly of Portland, but for twenty years being a resident of Florida, but who was now searching this part of the country for his daughter, Mrs. Lafayette Ellis. This is an error, as Mr. Ambrosier is the father of Mrs. Al Ellis, and riot the Decatur family of this name. - ‘i —.... . The many friends of Mrs. J. C. Tritch will be grieved to hear of her serious illness at Bloomington, where she went a week ago Tuesday with her husband, a, teacner in the city schools, who is taking a summer course in the state university. A brief message was received the first of the week stating that she was ill, another later stated that a nurse had been placed in charge Tuesday, while a message yesterday brought the news that she was forced to undergo an operation. Very meager was the information, but it is thought here that the operation was for peritonitis. A telegram received by Mrs. J. W.Vail at noon from Mr. Tritch brings the further encouraging information: “Stood operation fairly well. Talked to her since. Not easy yet. Some encouragement; dangerous, however.” Mrs. Tritch has been in apparently good health, though at times she has been bothered with stomach trouble. The sudden illness, coming as it does so fir from home, and comparatively among strangers, makes the case a sad one and her many friends here hope for’her a speedy recovery. o—. A merry evening party was that given by Miss Eola Gentls at her home on West Monroe street, the guests numbering twenty. The porch was brilliantly lighted with Japanese lanterns, while crepe paper streamers with innumerable vases of garden flowers, and feathery asparagus, combined to make the rooms within a charming place. Outdoor games of 1 many kinds, after which came indoor sports, with music by the ever-pleas--1 ing phonograph, made the evening ■ hours pass all too soon. Refreshf ments of ice cream and cake were

served, completing an evening’s pleasure, the hostess being assisted tn serving by the Misses Ada Stevens and Anola Frank,.

Mr. Macwhinney has been in the postoffice for the past few days acquainting himself with the duties of the office.—Geneva Herald. The study of words is an interesting one. Each word has its delicate shade of meaning and its use, as to fitness, depends upon the viewpoint of the person using it. When one travels a certain distance away, he is said to ‘go;’’ when he returns, he is said to “come”—from the viewpoint of the person at home; and yet the ground traveled over in each instance may be the same. Persons evidently unversed or careless in the shades of meaning, which are as varied as the tints in a great picture or the tones ! in a great tone-picture, once raised ■ a great to-do because a reporter wrote of a certain cltisen who was visiting i away from home, that she was “privileged” to meet a certain former resident of her hOme town at a party. ! From the viewpoint of the others at* ’ tending the party, the word “privl- . lege” would have been Incorrect, bet cause all the members of the party s had the same enjoyment. But from ; the viewpoint of the people in the r home town, at which place the social • item was written, the word “privilege/’ ? meaning in one case “special enjoy; ment of a good,” used thus, was correct, because that on© visiting person, of all the others of the home town i enjoyed that peculiar opportunity of meeting that person at that time.
