Burke, tor their wedding, which will be October 23rd Such was the pleasing announcement made Thursday after-[ u. >1 -by Miss Frances Merryman to sixteen of her most intimate friends, a i very pretty party. Autumn dowers, and berries chrysanthemums, bitter-sweet and stii■ i , combined in tasteful arrangei, ■ looms, made a cheerful betting tor the guests who < ante with i ’,-.r ue« dles and thimbles and sewed . .id inng the afternoon, until . j. oilo<a wlaeu the dining room, 1 pr .:y t„ is 1 corations of white and I greeti, was thrown open tor the luncn-/ eon.

They were, apparently, letters in envelopes, with a transparent slip through which the name was shown. The stamp bore the letters, Eat. drink and tie merry;” the postmi: k was "City of Good Cheer;” while th- return card said: "Please return often to this house.” The envelopes w.-re taken up w-ith interest in expec- ._ . / , -e wedding aancuncemem, ; but while disappointment came in that ; respect again, it was made up in a pl -isurable way through the little , c. ,‘est in the enveloi>e. Each con- , ta .ed a rebus form query, the am , swer to which was verified by a turn , of tlie enclosed sheet. i Not until the very close of thej, luncheon was the secret told. With the last course, were brought in the favors—imitation golden wedding , rings, h id in the beak of a miniature w'..‘e airier pigeon. Mrs. Pansy H-i:n. who sat at the side of M’ss Merryman was served last, the carrierpigeon with her favor, having tied about its neck, a tittle note, containing the date, which was read aloud, bringing forth expressions of rare u tavor and wishes from the cir-' cle Mrs C A.

He also recalls the t that he published the first daily 1 aper in Decatur, a morning jour: *.l three weeks during the trial of Lge Holland a negro, under trial so" the murder of Daisy Reynolds, a school teacher. He remembers also that the circulation department was

taken care of by Ratch Bla< kburn and John Heller, and remembers with much pleasure that they had a dandy paid circulation. "Punch" Kinnan, representing the Mazeppa shows, arrived this morning and Is busy “laying out” the town | and frosting big bills and otherwise assisting In the advertising. The midway will be a real one. Among those who have written iheir acceptance lor Old Home We-k are Mrs. I.ee Conklin, Bluffton; H. I’. Moses and wife, Fort Wayne; Fannie Wedly. Chicago; John T. Wagoner, Fort Wayne; Mrs. William Nix, Bay 'City, Mich; J. D. Harkless, Paulding, 'Ohio; Edward Eyenson, Chicago; ■ Mrs. Robert Schwartz, Champaign, (ill.; Anna Merryman Bell, Indianaplolis, who wrote in poetry, and Hon. J Hugh Daugherty. Indianapolis. Barney Kalver also accepts and advises that Bluffton lodge, 147, Low Binders, and 23. High Binders, will (come over in automobiles, and wants to “be met.” Degree work at 10 p. m. Olile Janies, senator elect from t.te ' state of Kentucky, whose fame as a [member of the hjuse of representsves. has ~n henuued for many ears and who has ’■'ng been known [as one of the silver-tongued orators of the nation, arrived here at 2:15 this ' afternoon from Fort Wayne, coming by automobile. He spoke at the Pennsylvania shops at that place at noon today and Thursday addressed : large crowds at Lagrange and other, points in the north part of the state. He was met by County Chairman J. W. Bosse, Judge D. E. Smith, H. B. Heller, secretary of the county com-' rnittee, and P. A. Macklin, who aeI ompanied him here. Hon J. A. M. Adair and Mr. Col-, j lins of Portland, came up in the for-. mer’s automobile and met Mr. James here, taking him to Portland, where' he will address a crowd this evening. Hundreds of democrats from all over the county gathered this after- ■ noon to hear the speech of the dis-’ tinguished Kentuckian and they were, not disappointed The address was one of the best ever delivered in De catur, fair and honest convictions, well spoken He is a big man in every • way, and his power to lead is evident'-J ed in every thought he expresses. Senator James aside from his activ > itles in cong- ess, has played a most I important part in the democratic poll-/ tics of his state and nation. Four years ago he made the nominating speech for William J. Bryan at the, Denver convention. Last June he w made permanent chairman of the national convention held in Baltimore j and presided during that wonderful, seven days' session in such away as to win the commendation of every delegate there. Absolutely honest, siways for the people and favoring such action as will do the greater good for; , the greater number, he has earned the' reputation of being one of the people's greatest champions Twenty automobiles filled with loyal democrats from over the county met 1 the party north of the city, and headed by the Decatur City band, marched down Second street to the Murray holt el. Soon aiterward the crowd filled | the < ourt room to overflowing and at 2:45, Hon. C. J. Lutz introduced Sena-' J tor James, slating that he did not care to take any time from him, for. C e work at hand was important. The senator made a hit as he opened his s-eech by saying that the peo--1» in this section looked so much like ’ -ntuckians that he felt at home. “That's right, louder.” He replied, "J '1 become louder as 1 grow older; t now a whisper of democracy so nds like thunder, to a republican." - (.and so he proceeded, gradually warming up to his subject. He discussed, the big issues of the day in a lair and, impartial manner and his 1 ehted those who heard him. It was unquestionably one of the big politics!. meetings of the year. He will leave here at 5 o’clock for, Portland, where he holds a meeting, tonight, going to Evansville for tomorrjw night. The second annual fire prevention ‘ ,-! y of the state of Indiana will be: observed next Wednesday, October S. j This is in accordance with a procla- 1 mation by Governor Thomas R. Mar-' shall, setting aside the das as fire prevention day, and calling upon tbe; 'schools of Indiana, rn'micipal author!- ! ties, commercial bcdi<-s. proper.yj owners and the public in general, '.o give the day due attention. The proclamation call: u; ii a!’. <:t-. izens cn that day “to give person.>l attention to the removal of rubbish aud debris from their premises; to setting ( 'their heating appliances in safe and 'proper condition.for winter use; to 'examine chimneys and flues that; I breakage and cracks may be properly repaired.” The governor says furthn:: T also suggest and recommend th it rn this day instruction te given to -I-,' < : /dri ll of t:.i- 1: ■ schools with reference to the fire hazards of matches, gasoline and volatile oils, and that simple methods of fire prevention and rescue work be taught. I

call upon the commercial bodies and the municipal authorities of the state to aid In disseminating knowledge relative to methods of prevention against fire and to urge a clean up movement In their respective communities." The first fire prevention day in the state of Indiana, celebrated last year, marked the fortieth anniversary of the great Chicago fire The movement for the observance of such a day was quite general throughout the middle wpst. Especially in all parts of this state the day was given attention by mayors of cities, commercial bodies and school authorities. in the schools. Instruction was giv en by means of a form of lessou sent out from the office of the state superintendent of public instruction. This lesson treated of fire, its use and abuse; of the sources of fire; of the prevention of fires; of the use of matches and gasoline; of fighting fire; < of escaping from buildings and of aid to the injured. Public meetings were held in many cities of the state, and In a great many communities a determined effort was made to clean up premises and to remove the sources of fire danger. Ossian suffered a 120,000 loss Tliu..day from fire originating In the Beaty, & Doan company. The saw mill, pla.ilug mill, grain elevator lumber yard, builders' hardware stoHs and a rest-' dence property, oc» upied by Ellis | Dishong, were totally destroyed, and I the insurance carried will just, about' half cover the loss. The volunteer department at Ossian' had hard work in saving the surround-' Ing residences and other buildings, which were on fire many times. Peo- ■ pie were attracted to the scene from many miles around and all assisted i in keeping the blaze from spreading. ' The fire was the worst that has visited Ossian in years, but Clark A. Beaty, the manager of the business, said that ' a portable saw mill would be erected at once In order to cut up the timber already purchased. Dr. Earl Poffenberger, a member of the fire department, and a son of M'. and Mrs. John B. Poffenberger, of Bluffton, was overcome by the heat while helping fight the flames and for a short time was in a serious condition Aviator Chai les F. Walsh, whom many Decatur t-eople saw at Bluffton last week, was dashed to death Thursday afternoon before 50,000 persons who were watching him at the interstate fair grounds, while making a spiral descent in a Curtis biplane about a quarter of a mile outside the grounds. ' When physicians reached him Walsh was dead and his machine was a complete wreck. Practically every bone in his body was broken and tis face and body were badly cut. He had fallen 2,000 feet. Walsh had been giving exhibitions at the fair all week, and this year, for the first time, was doing fancy stunts in the air with his machine. He was I very high, probably 5,000 feet, as he began his descent. He was making the spiral descent with the front of the machine pointing almost downward when the upper plane seemed to become loose. Walsh could plainly be seen struggling to regain his balance but without avail. The machine then made a rapid de- ' scent to the earth and the large num-; ber of spectators realized that Walsh I had lost control of the machine and that death was imminent. The acci- j dent had a depressing effect upon the , audience at the fair grounds and with-. in a few minutes nearly half of those j present began an exodus toward the I gates. Walsh's body was taken to a' ' morgue in Trenton and Secretary Margerum of the fair association gave or-, ders for the abandonment of other, flights scheduled for the day. Walsh was 25 years of age and a 1 ' native of San Diego, Cal. His wife 1 and two children a»-e visiting nt Ham-1 mondsport, N. Y., where they Intend-; ed remaining while he was flying in the east. Walsh learned to fly with Lincoln 1 Beachey. I o The Seifert Bros.’ representatives 1 began today to erect the decorations ' which will adorn the streets during the Old Home Week. Aside from the ' decorations of the buildings there is much to do in the decorating of the ' streets. At equal distances along the principal streets there will be fifty : large arch-like decorations. On either side next to the post there will be a four by twelve foot streamer in vari1' ous colors, next to the top there will ; be a nine by twelve foot fan of conI trasing colors and next to the trolley i wire on the line will hang a four by :: six foot American flag. This will be repeated on each side of the street and I there will be fifty such arches. And : then the buildings along either side > will be decorated to present a beautii ful appearance and the entire city will present a gala day appearance. , The men in charge began erecting ■ the work today and estimate that they I will>- kept very busy to finish it for

Monday of Old Home Week. Almost all of the business houses have selected their displays and these will b» erected from the waterproof and fadeless material as soon as possible. The decorations will be rich and profuse. _• m — It Is time that some steps be taken to clean up the city for Old Home Week and the committee, Chairman D. M. Hensley, Marshal Peterson, Dr. Keller, Mayor Teeple and Street Com missioner Buhler are urging that every business man and citizen in the city clean up their premises. We will have thousands of visitors each day and you will want your place looking neat and clean. It Is not too early to start the cleaning either, for there will be lots to do. It is especially urged that the bus,-; ness men clear the sidewalks of all obstructions except seats during the '• week, so that the large crowds will have nn vnobstructed use of the . streets. Displays set on the sidewalks wil receive the full benefit of the dust and litter usual to such a; gathering and w 11 serve no useful! pur; ose. Therefore llie committee asks that the dial lays be leh from In front of the stores and that those who have gasoline tanks and other 1 things on the outside of the walk, remove those also for the time being. Charles Heckman, proprietor of the i Heckman flour mills, while trying o'.'t I ; his automobile Thursday night ran | into a mail box post near the Smith ' farm north of the city and demolished the front end of the machine. Wednesday he bad received the mechine from the shop, where ot had been sent for repairs which were necessiated by a previous small smash- ( up and Thursda? evenening he stalled out to give the machine a thor ] ough try-out. The machine acted nicely until near the Smith farm, when something went wrong and Mr. Heckman in trying to find the defect did not notice the road ahead. He crashed Into the pole before he knew he was off the road. The machine was badly damaged, the two front wheels being bent and broken, the front springs broken, and the front of the machine was demolished generally. Mr. Heckman was alone in the machine and escaped unhurt. He was forced to walk back to town, how ever, and today the machine was brought into Decatur, where it will probably be put up for repairs again. Christian Endeavorers from five counties —Adams. Allen. Wells, Whitley and Huntiagton—will make Berne their mecca, beginning this evening and continniug through Sunday evening, when the twenty-sixth annual Christian Endeavor convention will be held at the new Mennonite church there, the second largest in the state. Professor P. P Bilhorn of Chicago, who has an international reputation as singer and composer, will be there to lead the music, which will be furnished by choirs of from 200 to 250 voices. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, with whom he was associated for throe years, has said of him: "There is only one thing to say of Mr. Billhorn, and that is. in everything said at all times he is a good illustration of our blessed Lord in whose name he speaks, sings and lives.” The principal address of this evening will be given by President Robert L. Kelley of Earlham college. Rev. I L. C. Hossert of this city is also cn the program for a response this eveni ing. Rev. W. H. Gleiser of this city J will give an address Saturday morning on "The Vision of the Volunteer." State workers will also be present and I fill prominent places on the program. ■ One of Saturday evening's addres s will be given by Rev. Charles E. E I? 1 of Fort Wayqe, formerly of this city, , on "The Problem of the Hour.” Eve yi body is cordially Invited to attend the I convention. The state Christian En- ' deavor convention will be held at Indianapolis ill two weeks. o Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 7—The pose has been assumed by Mr. Beveridge as the one and only champion of the children and enemy of child labor has ! been subjected to the test of history, I and the democrats are prepared to meet him on that issue and show that everything that has ever been done to lessen the evil of child labor in Indiana has been done by the democrats. The records show that the first child labor law ever enacted in this state was born of the brain of Senator John W. Kern twenty years ago while he was serving as a member of the state senate. At-that time the industrial development of the state did not make child labor such a menace as it has become in recent years, but possibilities of the evil were so impressed on the mind of the democratic successor of Beveridge in the United States senate that he prepared a bill and fought successfully for its enactment into a law. as the years went by and the industrial life of the state became more complicated and important, experience showed that the lawought to be serengthened, and efforts were mafle from time to time to strengthen it. The republicans were

In control of the legislature from IS9B until 1910, the senate in 1908 still L«-j ing republican. The legislature of 'O'* | and that of 1905 were both repuhll- ( can and both elected Mr. Beveridge to the senate but nothing was done to throw additional safeguards about the oncoming generation In the way o! a stronger child labor law. It whs not until the democrats came inlo complete control of the legislature In 1911 that the law fathered by Senator Kern twenty years ago was made more rigig and effective. The records show that Senator Beveridge w hile a member of the senate I j introduced a bill against child labor. | spoke upon it, and then let the mat-, ter rest, but ho has been speaking upon the subject from time to time outside the senate ever since, j The democrats of Indiana have not tried to make political capital out of | a purely humanitarian effort to better j the condition ot the children Senator ( I Kern has never posed as a crusader because he fathered the first child la- < Ibor law. But the record sets off BevI eridge's futile talk as against the demJ ocratlc accomplishment. The law upon the statutes as a re-: suit of democratic legislation provides, that no child under the age of Tour- * teen shall be employed or permitted , to work in any gainful occupation otr j. .h n farm work or domestic serr-1 ire, existing that children between, the ages of 12 and 14 may be permit- ’ ! ted to work in the business preserving | and canning fruits and vegetables from the first of June until the first, of October when schools are not in , session. It provides that these children shall not be permitted to work more than 48 hours a week. And it further provides that children shall ,not be employed in any tobacco warehouse ir factory where cigars are ] made, in hotels, theaters, or places of I anr. t,ement, in or about any saloon, brewery, concert hall, etc. It also provide* that no girl under the age of 18 shall be employed in any capacity which requires her to remain stand-, ing constantly. This child labor law, one of the best; in the country, of democratic origin,' has also been strictly enforced as never before by the democratic state bureau of inspection, ahd no law is receiving more attention today from the democratic state administration. j, At t’ -,e of going to press, the w ill of the late Henry Schmidt of Preblo township was being submitted for pro- ( Late. He gives al! his real and sonal estate to bls step-daughter, Mr;, i Sophia Schwartz.' She is at his death , to j ay to his sister. Mathilda, wife of. Jaccb Kieier, 8150. According to the will, Mrs. Schwarz, during her life was; to provide him with all the necessaries ( cf life. ar,d also feed ter his ho.se. | Os his real estate, she was given the use of all during his life, except three acres, which he reserved for his own use. The will was executed December 20. 1905, and wiiuessed by Gust Fisch-[ bach and C. C. D. Scheumann. Tba curr,at leport of Clara Ander-, ;c_, of aCtherine Anderson et al., was approved. The case of Ellis A- Fleming vs. Ran-' son Smith, set for October 24, has been left off tho trial docket.

William C'->k of North Fifth street, was arrested this morning at 2 o’clock by Deputy Sheriff Kelly and Night Policeman Meichi and taken to jail to await the arrival of Sheriff Henry B ! Wilson of Van Wert. Ohio. From I present indications Cook may have to 1 answer a very serious charge growing lout ot his alleged taking of a horse ! from a colored nun at Van Wert. 1 lie ■colored man, It is said, is a horse [trainer, and some time ago Mr. Cook [sold him a horse, for which the colored man did not settle in full. The story 'goes that Mr. Cook left Sunday moruI ing on the train for Van Wert, tak- j i ing with him twelve-year-old Johnny j ■Corbett. Little Corbett hays that while', I in Van Wert, Mr. Cook told him to go! i and get the horse and take him out [ of the stable and start home as fast as | Ihe could. This he did and Sheriff Wilson overtook the boy and horse Sunday night about 7 or 8 o'clock, i just before he had reached the state! line, and took the horse from him. i . The sheriff then telephoned here Sun-: I day night for the officers, to arrest Cook, which they did. Cook denies telling the boy to get the horse and I says he simply went to Van W ert to try and get a settlement from the colored man. He claims that he left Van Wert and started to walk home Sunday night in. the hope of overtaking the boy, but that he did not see him and continued his walk here. Cook is quite willing' to return with the Van Wert sheriff to that place without extradition papers. and seems to think he can settle his difficulty without trouble. I The Van Wert official arrived later; 'today and took Cook to Van Wort, 'leaving at 2:15 o’clock by automobile. The charge agjinst him is horse steal [ ing. — o The Shamrocks beat the Columbia ( City league team on the local diamond Sunday to the score of 7 to 2.. With Biersdorfer and Coffee batteries for Decatur and Diedrick and Geisler for ' Columbia City the game proved an , easy victory for Decatur, who at no I stage of the game was in danger of i losing the game. The local players put up a sensa- ' tional game displaying great team I work and proved themselves amply [able to cope l with a fast team. No home runs were made and three ’ ; base hits there was only one by Ray- i mond, of the Columbia City players; of two base hits McMillen, Engle and Baxter put one each over the grounds. Biersdorfer struck out nine men to [ Deiderick's five, and the game was ' [flayed in one hour and forty-five min- ■■■ ■ i . Hi ■ aiaw i
