The Misses Golda Gay, Matilda Sellemeyer, Ella Mutchler, Pearl Purdy, Lilah Lachot and Ruby Miller, comprising the Entre Nous club girls, returned this morning by automobile from Linn Grove, where they were entertained by Miss Bess Baumgartner. Other guests were Miss Aurilla Bierie and Mrs. Lawrence Yager of Berne. , The entertainment w r as a delightful one. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rumschlag of Monroe entertained Sunday at their home near Monroe at 6 o'clock dinnei in honor of some of their friends and a very pleasant time was enjoyed by those who attended. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wertzberger of this city and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rumschlag from south of here were among those in attendance. Invitations have been issued for the wedding of Marie Lillian Breiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Breiner of south of the city, to Mr. Milo Willis Hilyard of Chicago. The wedding will be solemnized Thursday evening, May 25th. at the home of the bride's parents, and a number of relatives and friends will attend. The groom is a young railroad employee, with headquarters in Chicago. The young couple will be at home after June Ist at 6340 Yarnell avenue, Chicago. The beautiful, new country residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Heidemann of southwest of the city was a scene of royally good cheer Sunday all day, when a large party of friends numbering forty or more were entertained at dinner and supper. The tabl«z 'airly groaned with their loads ut good things, and the time between feasting was spent playing games of all kinds, and enjoying the excellent orchestral music rendered by the Geels family. Among the guests were Allen County Treasurer-elect J. H. Bueter, wife and daughter of Fort Wayne, and from this city, J- P. Haefling and family, Henry Heidemann and daughter, John Colchin and family, Will Colchin and family, Clem Heidemann, Miss Lizzie Kortenbrer, Edwin Fledderjohann, Fred Schurger and others.

NEW CARRIERS AND CLERKS. Washington, D. C.. May 13—(Special to Dally Democrat)—The following In- ! diana appointments were announced at the postoffice department today: Howard Baldwin to be clerk and Ben Thompkins to be transferred from carrier to clerk, at Newcastle; Omer Butler to be substitute carrier at Decatur; George M. Blackman to be substitute carrier at Marlon. —————-o— —— DORSE MEYERS IS PAPA. ——— Mrs. Elizabeth Myers this morning received word from her son, Dorse, at Tulsa, Oklahomo, of the birth of a baby girl May Ist. Dorse was a former Decatur boy, but has lived at Tulsa four or five years, his marriage taking place there to a well known young lady of that city. . ' -o —————■ SAFE AT OAXACA. Relatives here have received word from Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, who is at Oaxaca, Mexico, where the heavy fighting lias been going on for the past several days between the rebel and Mexican federals, stating that everything was safe. As yet all trains are running unmolested and unharmed, but how long It will last is a different question. 0 Sheriff Tom Durkin and Deputy John Merrica surprised the boys at Geneva Friday evening by dropping in on a little ‘‘mill” which had been announced ' for that time, and which it was rumor- , ed would include a finish fight. The I officers did not cause any trouble but I let the boys know that nothing would ' be permitted except that within the J letter of the law. Under the statutes , of this state, a boxing contest, not exceeding ten rounds, is permissible, but this does not mean a “knock-out” exhi- ) bition. The contest program was givi en Friday night, but it was only a ) sparring exhibit, and no one was pun- ' ished. Similar events have been held ’ in the county recently and there will ) probably be no objections offered so ) long as they are as stated, within the law. The trouble is that this soon be- , comes tame, and the patrons want j something a little more blood-curdling 9 and the attention of the officers is then necessary.

State of Indiana, executive Department. The republic cannot live in the past; nor can it survive if it forgets the past. Peace is the burden of our songs and sermons. We hope no more to see the serried hosts of armed men nor listen to the stirring airs of martial music. Our longing is for the swell of the heavenly harmonies once heard by drowsy shepherds at rockfounded Bethlehem. We must not. however, forget that 'twas not always thus. We would be traitors and foresworn did we forget that half a century ago our country shook with the contending arms that her green fields and running brooks ran red with fraternal blood. But few survive of those who were well contented then to die. Rapidly, like ghostly figures in the graying dawn, these few will soon be lost to sight. Not often wil Ithls later age have chance to voice its gratitude to ears which can hear. Both law and custom have set aside and consecrated May 30th as Memorial day. It was meant to be a day of flowers and tears for those who died and of loving service and ministry to the living, to convince them that there will never be a hearthstone of a true American where there does not sit, although unseen the sacred figure of a Boy in Blue. This can only be done by Indiana reverently, in thought and feeling, bowing low before her most sacred shrines and standing uncovered in the presence of its citizens who I bought for her the right to be. This call Is made to you, my countrymen, . lest we forget. ; In witness whereof, I have hereunto I set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Indiana. . Done at the capltol in the city of Indianapolis, this twelfth day of May, in t the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and eleven. THOMAS R. MARSHALL, Governor. i By the governor, LEW G. ELLINGHAM, Secretary of State. WILL TEST WELL. e t The test of one of the old wells at p the city waterworks plant for the sell curing of a better xvater pressure, which was proposed at the last regular

meeting of the city council, is to be made, and the working of a test will begin on next Tuesday, according plans laid out at present. Several days A will be required for the carrying out of this work and should it prove satisfactory the city will derive much benefit as a result of the experiment That the city is in need of greater water capacity and better equipment tor the obtaining of same is evident to all the city officials, but the best way to obtain the same is the question that is bothering them. A new well is to be placed at the northwest corner of the plant, and bids for same are now being advertised for its construction. Should the proposed test prove as it is said it will, the city can obtain a much larger supply of water, with less than one-half of the power which is necessary at the present time. o - i . PREPARING SPECIAL MUSIC. The special choir of the M. E. church enjoyed an unusually go6d hour of practice Friday evening at the church in preparation for the baccalaureate services to be held May 21st, one week from tomorrow night, when the pastor, the Rev.

Semans has chosen for his subject for the baccalaureate sermon, the promising subject, “Vision and Vim.” o- • STEEPLEJACK AT WORK. Sunday a steeplejack was engaged in putting a large spark arrester on the smoke-stack at the plant of the LaFontaine handle plant. Many of the residents roundabout were watching t his labors throughout the day and .. many interested spectators were eag- , erly discussing the method he used in r getting his scaffolding in position
