Here to fortify gmZurdtafcd’ | against the cold of their long and several walks of the bitterly cold evclear life ening, they partook of a steaming and savory oyster stew, with crackSruggiJUf® _ ® rß and pickles as side dishes. From here they went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Micßaud, where Miss #• WiTTMtiir4 T»usei< Matilda Sellemeyer served fiend-

wiches. potato salad, pickles and coffee. The home of Miss Electa Glanecy was next in order, and here they enjoyed scalloped com, sandwiches and tea. Proceeding to the homo of Miss Ruby Miller, creamed salmon, pickles, wafers, and postum taated “mighty good,” while the sandwiches, baked beans, pickles and cocoa served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Lachot were acceptable. A visit at the home of Miss Gold a Gay was next Ih order, after partaking of peaches with whipped cream, cake and a glass of milk, they repaired to the home of Miss Lilah Lachot, on West Monroe street, where they spent the remainder of the evening, the club holding its usual session. During the evening fruit salad, with whipped cream, cake and tea. were Indulged in, thus closing the "progressive eat." The annual reunion of the Helm family was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Helm. At noon the family gathered around the table, which was loaded with all the good things a good appetite could desire, and to which all did ample justice. The afternoon was spent in social conversation. At a late hour the guests returned to their different Helm and daughters, Frances, Mary homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Helm many more such returns. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and Naomi; Mr. and Mrs. John Helm and daughters Goldie, Nellie and Mildred, and Mr. and Mrs. Forest Light and children, Gladys and Walter. The Menu-ates were entertained Wednesday afternoon and evening in a delightful way by Miss Frances Merryman, the guests busying themselves with thefr needlework until 6 o’clock, when there was a tempting luncheon in two courses. A number of friends besides the Menu-ates were present, they being Miss Sylvia Eaton, Miss Helen Niblick, who is at home from Lake Forest. III.; Miss Sallie Vesey of Fort Wayne, Miss Bessie Boyers and her guest, Miss Jenkins, a classmate at the college at Jackson, 111. Miss Pansy Bell will entertain the Menu-ates next week. Miss Florence Sprunger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Sprunger, one of the most prominent young ladies of tlje city, and Mr. Harry Starr, one of the most popular young men of Bluffton, are by this time man and wife, having planned to give their friends a little surprise by slipping away to Michigan Wednesday, where the wedding knot will be tied, the groom having relatives in Detroit and vicinity, to which place they went for the wedding. The wedding cannot be sailed strictly an elopement—though on first thought it seems such to their friends who had no intimation of the affair—as there were no objections to the marriage by either family. Miss Sprunger’s parents knew of their departure and intended wedding. The wedding cannot be called from the happy young couple, which is expected at any time, though at the time of going to press this afternoon no word had yet come, so none of the details can be given. The bride is a very accomplished young lady, being highly talented in music, in which she has had excellent training. She is a graduate of the Decatur high school and has also been a student in the conservatory of music at Oberlin, Ohio. She is prominent in church affairs, also, and is a member of the choir of the Presbyi terian church, where her musical talent is highly appreciated. The groom who is a member of one of Bluffton’3 best families, Is a substitute clerk in the postofflee there, and is also connected with his father In conducting a large ice cream manufactory at Bluffton. He is well and favorably known to many here, where he has visited frequently. The announcement of the elopement and wedding will come as the I entire surprise to their friends, which I was as the young couple Intended, f While the parents of the young lady —Mr. and Mrs. Eli Sprunger of First I street—knew of their intentions, not I one of their friends in general knew of the affair. It was only the evening before —Tuesday evening—that ' the bride had appeared in the home > talent play, the mock court trial presented by the Elks, and not one had - the least intimation, that while she , was thus taking part in the mock love 1 affairs of others, >her own love as--3 fair would come to a happy culmina--3 tion on the morrow —with a much 3 happier ending, however, than that of i the play. , Miss Sprunger gave a New Year’s 5 party Saturday evening, and had r planned at that time to make an anr nouncement of the coming wedding to 1 her friends—still keeping the date a . ' secret. A classmate at Oberlin col- ; lege, Miss Lola King, of Glenford, . ! Ohio, who had been her guest dur i ing the holiday week, and whom she . I had hoped to have with her at the i New Year's party, could not remain . ' for that event, owing to the fact that

the school board would allow her no longer respite from duty as a teacher, so Miss Florence decided to do away with even an announcement of the approaching event, thus giving her friends even the more complete surprise. 1 ■ ' W’ , Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. s—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Indiana legislature convened at 10 o’clock this morning, the seats in both house and senate being well filled when the gavels of the presiding officers called the members to order. The galleries of both houses were well filled, many of the wives and daughters of the legislators being present to witness the ceremony attendant to swearing in the new law-makers. The secretary of state, Lew Ellingham, presided in the house. After the opening prayer by Rev. Edward Neville of Muncie, Mr. Ellingham called the roll of members. In groups of about twenty they were called forward to the speaker’s desk and administered the oath of office. Following this the secretary of state called for nominations for speaker. Albert J. Veneman, the democratic caucus nominee, was placed In nomination, and Jesse Elchbach, the republican nominee. The balloting, a perfunctory affair, of course, reeulted in the election of Veneman, he receiving the entire democratic vote. The republican nominee, Mr. Elchbach, ▼/ill be the floor leader of the minority. In the senate the ceremonies were much »aore simple because of the fact that Lieutenant Governor Frank J. Hall immediately took the chair and proceeded to swear in the new members of the senate. Lieutenant Governor Hall also announced his committee appointments. The senate then adjourned until Friday morning. The assembly will adjourn tomorrow until Monday, when the real work of law-making is expected to begin. Albert J. Venneman of Evansville was chosen speaker of the house of representatives last night after one of the most perplexing contests in the history of Indiana politics. Veneman was named on the second ballot in the democratic caucus held in the agricultural room of the state house. Adam E. Wise of Plymouth, Adolph Seidensticker of Indianapolis, Joseph M. Cravens of Madison and Michael Thornton of New Albany were the opposing candidates. Harry G. Strickland and J. B. Faulkner withdrew from the race. Charles McCullough of Brazil was elected chief clerk of the house on the fourth ballot, receiving thirtyone votes. Mark Fippen of Salem was elected assistant clerk on the first ballot. Fippen was journal clerk of the house two years ago. John Walsh, of Indianapolis, a prominent labor union man. was named as chief doorkeeper. A resolution was adopted unanimously that the chief doorkeeper employ Bert Hendron of Linton as postmaster of the house. Hendron had no opposition. Charles Leib of Ropkport, representative from Spencer county, was caucus chairman. John J. Keegan of Indianapolis and Charles M. Frisse of Evansville were secretaries. On the second ballot six votes from the Fifth district went to Veneman which had been cast for Seidensticker on the first ballot, thus giving Veneman thirty-one votes, the necessary majority, if all the members of the house had been present. The first ballot resulted at follows: Veneman, 24; Wise, 14; Seidensticker, 10; Cravens, 6; Thornton, 4. On the second ballot Veneman received 31; Wise, 18; Craven. 2; SeidenBticker, 5, and Thornton, 2. Folowing his election Mr. Veneman sent word to a friend on the outside to telegraph bis wife in Evansville of his election. In a short speech to the democratic representatives he thanked the party for his election and promised to discharge his duties as speaker to the entire satisfaction of the democratic party and the people of the state. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Governor Marshall appeared before the Joint sei sion of the house and senate today ■ and read in person his message to I the legislature, which was loudly and • frequently applauded. J ■ The governor’s message was long ■ and strong. It covered everything ' advocated by the democrats in their platform, and stated the governor's views decisively on all questions of ’ importance. Addressing the gentle--1 men of the sixty-seventy general assembly he said: « ’ You are here convened as the repI resentatives of the people of Indiana, to thoughtfully consider and wisely ’ enact such legislation as in your judgment will be for the Interests of ’ the whole citizenship of the state. ’ Your success or failure will be measI I uned by this standard. If personal in-

erest be permitted to thwart the pub- 1 ic will, you will be justly condemned. If logrolling and swapping of votes bo allowed to pass pet measures, you will be charged very justly aa being spllsmen rather tiian legis latora. To prevent ths voting of foreign ere and other illiterate persons the governor recommends an amendment to the constitution so as to forbid any one from entering ths polling place with the voter unless the voter be Incompetent from physical defect to mark his ballot. I recommend also the passage of what is popularly called “A Corrupt Practice Act." By these enactments, you will, ao far as the law enables, have driven evil from the ballot box and will have furnished the honest voter with a flaming sword to prevent its re-entry. May there be brave hearts and stout arms willing and ready to wield that sword. If there be not, you, at least, will have done your duty. To do away with incompetent officers he recommends the following change of the primary system: That a primary election law be enacted providing, in substance, that at the time of the six months’ registration, the registration officers shall hold a primary election for precinct committeemen of all parties; these precinct committeemen to constitute the county central committee; and that the several county central committees of a congressional district shall meet and elect a member of the state central committee. At this primary election all county and township officers should be nominated and dele- ( gates to the state conventions to nominate candidates for state offices and to endorse candidates for the United j States Senate should be chosen. The governor advises that the legislature take such steps necessary to make the county offices all fouryear terms, establish an Industrial court for hearing accident cases, abolish the offices of state factory inspector and state labor commissioners and establish a department of inspection. On the local option question the governor says: I recommend the : amendment and modification of the i present county option law so as to i make incorporated cities, towns and the territory and townships outside of such cities, the unit of election, such amendment and modification to be drawn as not to affect but to preserve the remonstrance laws of this state and to provide that the territory voted dry under the present option law shall remain dry for two years fro mthe date of ths election. This recommendation is made because of my belief in the doctrine of local self-government. It is not made to oppose the anti-saloon league nor to placate the liquor interests of this state. It is made with the belief that wherever the people of this state de- . sire the abolition of the saloon, the law will be enforced, but that where- . ever the saloons have been abolished . without their consent, perjury, disre- . gard of law and blind tigers have resulted. I am further of the opinion that no option law is valuable unless . territory voted dry under it is dry. i I urgently recommend, therefore, the 1 enactment of a twin measure which . will strengthen the present license law, divorce the saloon from the i brewery, increase the license fee and bond of the license, limit the number . of saloons, increase the penalties, and ; provide for a suspension of the li- . cense on a second violation and a ’ complete revocation on the third. I ; also recommend the repeal of the law which permits the organization of ■ clubs as literary and educational, but whose only object is to obtain liquor • unlawfully. I want you to make dry ■ territory, in fact, dry, and to convince the man engaged in the sale of • liquor that he must obey the law. In ■ this way, I believe people will find ■ that this change in option with addl- : tlonal regulation wHI work for law, - order and temperance. i Ab the governor is held responsible i for the acts of all officers, he asks - that he be empowered to remove his I own appointees and that where an elective officer falls to do his duty, the governor be given the power to I order the attorney general to file pro- - ceedings against the said officer in - his home county court and if the r judge finds the officer guilty as charg- >! ed he may remove him. The govern--1 or further recommends that the corporation laws be so revised that watered stock in a corporation be a ; thing of the past and that all rail- , ways incorporating must secure con- ’ sent from the state commission. r Touching on the matter of trust comj panies Mr. Marshall advises that trust companies and banks be not allowed to do business in the same ' I building or under the same officials ' and that if trust companies do a '' banking business they must have the ’ same reserve as any other bank. He r suggests that a law be enacted that ■. Children Cry I- FOR FLETWER’S 1 OAST OR I A

He touches upon the state board of health problem, the preservation of water power, the supreme and appellate courts, the school book question, suggests that instead of celebrating our birthday of Indiana in 1916 that we erect a permanent building that will stand for centuries to come, and that a commission be appointed to look after this monument. Laws governing highways are insisted upon, recommends that burglary be divided into two classes to properly take care of the boy and the hardened criminal. The governor appeals to the legislature to pass two appropriation bills. He reminds them that in 1915 a debt of $300,000 will be due and it will be necessary then to lexy a tax, that the next few years should be allowed the state to get ready for that and that this is not ths time to increase the tax. He says in plain words Chat he will veto an appropriation bill that does so. No new offices or boards should be created. Reduce the expenses. Don’t be extravagant. Concluding the governor says: The “Well Done,” which you hope to receive from the people will coms to you, not from the volume, but from the character of your work. Be loyal to Indiana —to ail ner citizens, high and low, rich and poor. Consider every question in the light of public good. Beware of the importunities of every special interest and let it not be only the proud but the justifiable boast of every member of this general assembly to be uttered at this adjournment —“I can say upon my honor as a gentleman and in the face of High Heaven that unawed my influence and unbought by gain, I have sought tn all my deliberations to keep a people’s government." o — Alice M.
