WILL VISIT HIS DAUGHTER. E. S. Moses to Sunday in Chicago— Miss Moses Returns to Hospital. Ed S. Moses left last night for Chicago for an over-Sunday visit with his daughter, Miss Gertrude, who has been suffering with rheumatism for a year past, and who is in that city for treatment. During the past week she has not been so well, her return to St. Luke hospital being necessary. It is believed by the family that the back-set was caused by the weather, which has been very severe in Chicago the past week, and that a few sunny days may improve her more than anything else.

The tri-school oratorical contest closed Friday evening at the Bosse opera house, with the rendition of the program by the juniors and seniors of the Geneva, Berne and Decatur high schools. The audience was large and enthusiasm ran high, each school cheering loudly for its contestants. Professor Rice presided in the evening, as he did in the morning and each contestant did exceedingly well. The climax came in the announcement of the winners, as made by Prof. Lee L. Driver, Randolph county superintendent of schools, judge of the literary part of the program, and Prof. Albert Holsworth of the Fort Wayne schools, judge of the r usic. The results of both morning contest, or section one, in which the freshmen and sophomores took part, and of the evening contest, or section two, In which the juniors and seniors participated, were not announced until at the close of the evening's program. Only the winners were announced, and no grades were given. Each school did itself credit and came in for a share of the honors. Decatur came in for first on two orations, two piano solos and a piano duet; Berne came in for two on discussion, a reading and made a grand sweep in music; while Geneva, who did not have so many contestants as the other two, did well, taking first in reading, vocal duet and vocal solo.

April 22—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Mexican revolution practically ended at noon today, according to an announcement of) Dr. Vasquez Gomez, representative of the Provisional President Medero. Gomez announced the receipt of a telegram from Diaz accepting the terms of an armistice, together with a telegram of acceptance from Medero. “The terms of the armatice are practically the terms of peace,” said Gomez.

Moses returned Monday from Chicago, where he visited over Sunday with his daughter, Miss Gertrude, who is taking treatment for rheumatism at that place and who is improving. After the removal of her tonsils, she was very weak from loss of blood and left the hospital for a short while until she grew stronger. On last Wednesday she returned for a continuance of the treatment, which consists in the hypodermic injection of a part of the diseased tonsils with other medicine, which it is claimed will destroy the cause of the rheumatism. Though these treatments have been few thus far, she shows signs of much improvement, Which is a source of much encouragement. She will be obliged to remain at the hospital about three weeks longer, It is thought, to continue this treatment.
