W. Dibble home east <ff 'the btty 'Wednesday was no delightful. The Dibble home was a veritable bower of autumn. Fluttering dataty-edlored 'leaves were pinned to curtains and walls, and even great branches 61 most beautiful leaves In autumn tints, were used In decorations, as were profusions of autasnndl garden ifiowers rarranged by the deft hands of the hostess and her daughter, Miss Blanche. The lattes brought their sewing and spent the afternoon, being Joined at the supper hour by the husbands, whose bustness cores coiild not allow them 1 to come «ooner. Utt ”6 o’clock such a .. dinner M those for'Which the Dibble ) farmhouse is noted was nerved, those assisting in serving being Mrs. Otis Dibble, Misses Marte Patterson and Htandhe Dibble. Companions at dinner were ’found’by matching the pictures of fniits and vegetables. Guedte other than the club members >wer? Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hensley, Mr. and Mrs. Loiiis Moore and'daughter, Lucile, Mr. and Mrs. William Butler, Miss Marie Patterson and Mrs. Otis Dibble. 'The club menibers and thei? husbands were Messrs . and Mesdames P. G. Hooper, R. K. Allison, J. T. Merryman, Dan Beery, Dan Sprang, A. R. Bell, 1 C.'Patterson, P. B. Thomas, Mrs. A. L. DdVllbiss. A very'happy occasion of Sunday, October, 16th, was that of the celebration of the forty-eighth -wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. James Miller, at the home of their daughter, Mrs. E. Hart. Os the nine children, eight were present, a daughter having died October 16, 1899. Those present were Messrs, and Mesdames Charles Miller, E. Hart, J. J. Good, E. E. MilIler, A. C.

Sefrit es Washington, Ind., Mr.SCftitiastate--meat 'fa ‘the Washington, Herald on Monday, Vtfy 18, 1910, ttatt 'Senator Beveridge vwould have voted 'for tthe Payne-Aldrich tariff bill if his vote had been necessary for its passage, is gaining credence even among the re■pubiieans. ’But It' Is not having the effect intended by Mr. Sefrit He.as ■editor of 'the paper, published in ran .■attempt to' line up the conservative re, • publicans to whom Senator Beveridge's attitude on the tariff ta repug , vrant It ’is now having an entirely •different result. It is driving republicans to the conclusion that Senator Beveridge is insincere and that 'the only way to bring about desired veforms is through the election Wf raj democratic •senator. * > This is the 'View taken by Captain H. H. Stewart -of Kokomo, a repuWL ■can, Who has represented Howard ■county In the Indiana legislature. Captain Stewart has come ovt openly in a set speech appealing fOf support ta behalf of the democratic congressional ticket ha the Ninth district I and the democratic legislative tickets fa the state senatorial district of Howardand Miami counties, and the joint representative district in the counties of Howard, Miami and' Carroll, and for the democratic candidate for representative in Howard county? Captain Stewart, owb'of the most active republican members & the house In the last Indiana general assembly, has asked the return of Martin A. Morrison, democrat, to the national house of representatives, and the election of John W. Kern to the United States senate. i Captain Stewart Indicated that he waa impressed with the entire correctness of the declaration of Mr. Sefrit that Senator Beveridge’s vote for the Payne-AMrich tariff bill would have boon forthcoming had his vote been necessary to the passage of the bill. As he sees it, Mr. Sefrit, the personal friend and supporter of Senator Beveridge, was seeking to line up the regulars for the senator, in the face of the senator’s "near-insurgency.” and that he spoke by the card, this . beta* one of the many evidences ,pf i Senator Beveridge’s Insincerity. Captain Stewart is a red-blooded In- 1 surgeht, and as he has reached the i conclusion that the only way to cry»r talfoe progreiurivs principles into law is far from being pleased with Senator 1 Beveridge’s dodging of the dollar-a- 1 day pension proposition.

Henry Meyer, one of the prominent farmers of Union township, bas leased hie farm there and ta preparing to. move into the Everett house on Eleventh street. He makes the change because he suffered a stroke of paralysis affecting one of his arms, and finds the farm work more than he can attend to. The farm has been leased to Louis Murphy and the house to Will Worktager. . oIndianapolis, Ind., Oct 21—(Special to Dally Democrat)—peaking ta behalf of John K. Kern, democratic nominee for the Watted States senate, William Jennings Bryan has just closed a remarkable four of Indiana. ‘3' -

enthusiasm that has marked all of his Indiana meetings was manifest. It has been frequently stated by political writers that the audiences faced by speakers in Indiana this fall are not demonstrative. This may be true of the republican speakers, and it certainly was true in the case of Theodore Roosevelt’s recent Indianapolis speech; but those who heard Colonel Bryan's Indianapolis speech Wednesday night, from the same stand where Roosevelt spoke, will agree that it waa the most powerful and interesting political speech from the standpoint of national issues ever heard' in Indianapolis, and that the vast audience responded to his fund of logic and humor instantaneously. Colonel Bryan made his Indiana tour primarily in behalf of Mr. Kern, although he spoke for the entire democratic ticket. It is agreed, even among republicans, that only once ta a lifetime, is such a powerful plea made by one man In behalf of another. .- ' v Colonel Bryan not only urged the election of Mr. Kern, but he gave his reasons—convincing ones. His central thought was that the new recruit should not be honored above the old. In carrying out this thought he showed that Mr. Kern had been fighting all his life for the principles of reform that are now just beginning to be recognized by “progressive republicanism.” He argued that it would be a violation of all justice' for any democrat to ask Mr. Kern tq step aside for Mr. Beveridge, who, granting that he is sincere, is stip. a republican* and only beginning to see the light' * His detailed statement of the great affairs that will be before congress at its next session, and his cry that the people need John W. Kern there to vote against and fight against the ship subsidy, the national incorporation of railroads and “new nationalism,’’ was eloquent and convincing. He demonstrated that the people are against ship subsidy and for the Income tax, by asking his hearers to indicate their belief by holding up their hands In answer to his questions. In the thousands faced him there was none who desired to pay his share of the ship subsidy graft, wbifoh Senator Beveridge supported by Ms vote, and there was none who opposed the income tax, which Is salt favored by Senator Beveridge. j.h Colonel Bryan made it plain that Mr. Kern’s election can be assured only through the election of a democratic legislature, and.he gave .the people a guarantee that With Governor Marsha® rat the head of the state government, the legislature, if democratic, would-elect Mr. Kern. - Mr. Kent is receiving daily aqsurrances of fate ‘fact, although they are hardly needed. These assurances are the result of Governor Marshall’s first speech 1n which he told the people that he would take the trouble to put the question to the legislative (candidates 3n Marion county, and adWised the people of every other county to <do the oame. The democratic candidates in Mattian county responded promptly, (pledging themselves, if elected, to Tote for Mr. Kern. As he travels throughout the state in his speaking tour, Mr. Kern is receiving the pledgee of <ll tthe democratic legislatfwe (candidates that tfaey will support him for United Btates senate in the revvntof their election.: ’ 1 ■■■ ♦

Us bang your best (dress out on the pondh to -sir, (White you went to can on your aistec, rand fthen to come home end find nothing left of the drees but « little ireap oC ashes and a peteh, ata by four tachos, and the porcb MaViug, ta 'Mther an unusual ease, bat such was the very unique experience Thursday aftesnoon of Mrs. Dal Hower, <Mng on North Ninth street. There is nothing to show why the dress caught fire and the case ta one of complete mystery. Mrs. Hower had used no gasoline or other volatile or esgtaelve oubstance to clean the dress* but bed simply hung it on the banisters to air. Ehe then went to call on her sister, Mrs. Butler. After school the Hower bey. while sitting on the Gaffer poreh across the way, noticed the banister rail of the pwch blazing and went over and extinguished it. The drees, however, was totally consumed except for a little patch, and the porch banister was burned for several feet around the place. \ 4 , w .„ New York, N. Y., Oct 21—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, leader ta the United States senate, ta believed to be recovering today ta his apartments from the affects of a mysterious accident which befell him last night at 6 o’clock. Evqn Senator Aldrich does not know how he wpui injured, but believes he was struck by a taxicab or an electric car. While watting for the other members of his fathly to drew for dinner the zenator decided to take a stroll. Twenty minutes after he left ths house he stag-

gered into the offices of the apartment house, where he sank into the arms of friends. He was bleeding profusely from a wound over the left eye and another on the right temple. His right arm was hanging helplessly in his coat sleeve and his condition was critical for a time. The family will not discuss the matter. There are persistent rumors that the senator was the of a murderous assault. The theory that he was not struck by a vehicle but rather ‘the object of a° personal attack by some enemy or crank, was strengthened to-, day when a heart-to-heart canvass along Madison avenue from Flfltieth to Seventy-second street, failed to disclose a single person, who had witnessed the accident or even iheard of it. o - The friends of Harry Daniel, formerly of this city, now of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, who is gaining much fame as a base ball writer, are urging him to publish his “Heroes of the Diamond” in book form. Mr. Daniel, it will be remembered by the many eager readers of base ball lore, wrote the Intensely interesting special Sunday articles for the Chicago Inter-Ocean this summer—“ Heroes of the Diamond” — which were character sketches of the greatest ball players of national fame. He traveled over the entire United States interviewing the men who had made themselves famous on the United States ball diamonds and the sketches he then wrote of them, will be eagerly conserved by the base ball world as history. Mr. Daniel is now officially reporting the world’s championship series of baseball games for the Chicago Inter-Ocean. HORSES HERE TONIGHT. Frisinger A Spninger Load Reaches Here by Wells-Fargo. Ben Elzey, agent for the Wells-Far-' go, this morning received a message from Superintendent DeWitt of Cleveland, Ohio, that a consignment of horses belonging to Frisinger & Spninger, would arrive here this evening on the 6:56 train over the Erie.

The ladies will doubtless have a liberal patronage. •' A scone raf much impressiveness and oswthtttttook'one back ta mind to the days of (Christ and his apostlea, was that at tthe St. Mary’s river ta the north partof the city Thursday afternoon, when Um Sarah Ann Dele of Van Wert, Ohio, in accordance with the divine ordinance, was baptized, J. M. Dawson performing the rites. Mrs. Dele, who is afflicted with cancer, has been at the home of her sister, Mrs. Samuel Arther, ta the -north part of lhe city for some dime. While here, her desires for* foe Christian life grew and foe detaded to obey the Master in ttfo, one of the first steps into the new life raccordfag to the command of foe •Ctatat—-the immersion of the body in water—an act highly symbolic of the new birth—the death, burial and neeurrection into the new life. The rite was witnessed by a great many cf foe friends of the lady. A second baptismal service was held by J. M. Dawson ta the evening at the Christian church, there being three candidates—two men sad one boy. o- - One of the largest audiences that has yet greeted J. M. Dawson at the Christian church, during his special evangelistic campaign, waa present Thursday eventag, when he delivered his very excellent sermon, “Bon, Remember.” That the services of little metfe than a week have been productive of unusual good is evidenced by the tact that during this time, six neraon. have made the cohftssion of

faith and complying with the following requirements of the ' Christian life, three of these being boys, two men. and one, a woman, besides which, one other man has Identified himself with the local church, by letter, from another. Mr. Dawson stated that while he had been accustomed to preaching to much larger audiences than those here, he had never conducted a service where the good results were so great in comparison. Two men and one boy obeyed the divine command in baptism Thursday evening, and one woman made the good confession of faith. There will be another meeting this evening. Mr. Dawson has announced services for next Monday also, and further announcements will be made later. His sermon at thpt time will be on sprinkling from a historical standpoint, telling how, when and why this mode of baptism was first. Introduced—oy man. Everybody is invited to attend the meetings.

JOHN SCHKARTZ IS DEAD. At Home in Pierceton—Lived in Union Township. —— * Mesdames D. N. Erwin and Horace Callow this morning received a delayed letter telling of the death of their uncle, John Schwartz, of Pierceton, the funeral having been held yesterday.

He was eightyfive years old and his death was caused from old age and apoplexy. His wife died several years ago, but he is survived by several children. Q ■■ The audience that gathered at the Baptist church Thursday evening was very delightfully entertained by the speaker, Rev. Julius Caesar Nayphe. His lecture on “The Peoples and Customs of the Orient of Today,” was delivered in characteristic Jewish accent, and he held the audience spellbound for one hour and forty minutes. Not less pleasing than the knowledge of the far east was some of the speakers’ experiences and difficulties in trying to understand apd master the English language. The lecture closed with a Grecian marriage ceremony in which four young ladies in costume assisted the speaker. The church and pastor are very grateful, both to the young ladies and to Rev. Nayphe, who is sure to find a well-filled house, if ever he returnsto the Decatur Baptists.
