Autumn foliage in its changing colors, with bright red salvia blossoms and bitter-sweet berries were used in the reception room and front parlors, shile the library, where the ceremony was performed, was given over to green and white. This was carried out m the white clematis vine with its little starry white blossoms and shining green leaves. The grille work of the arches and doorways was especially adapted to a pretty arrangement of twining vines, and the bay window in the library where the wedding took place, was made especially attractive. The archway of the alcove was outlined with the living green of the vines shading into a golden glow background of autumnal leaves. Festooned from the center were drop-trailers of the vines and tanging baskets of white chrysanthemums nestling in green foliage. At 7:15 o'clock, Mrs.W. O. Sellemeyer. a life-long friend ot the bride, gave a filteen-minute song recital, with Miss Edna Hoffman, piano accompanyist. The numbers included, til for \’ou,” "A Perfect Hay,” and Tales of Hoffman.” and were sweetly and appropriately rendered. As the last notes of the song merged into iohengrin's wedding march, at 7:30 ©clock, a little murmer of admiration from the guests announced the approach of the wedding party, with the many attendants, lovely in charming costumes. Rev. Semans, of the Methodist church, with the usher, bride's brother, Charles Merryman. of Cardwell, Mo., preceded the groom, Mr. Avon Burk, who was attended by his brother, Sim Burk, as best man. The gentlemen proceeded down the open staorway in the hall down the o.vn stairway in the hallthe altar in tne bay window, whe-e they were met by the bride and her attendants, who came down the stairway and circled through the parlor, thence into the library. First came the maid of honor, the groom's sister. Winifred Burk. Her dark beauty was enhanced by a jumnied costume of green w.cordian plaited satin, th> pannier being of white marquisette and pink rosebuds, in the shepherdess effect. To complete this she carried a large white basket filled with ma guerites, the handle which she ca: , ried over her arm being ti< d with a green tulle bow. The bride's sister, Mrs. Don 1.. Quinn, of Chicago, as first matron of honor, slight and petite, was lovely in a gown of white marquisette, with green satin train and sash ends. She earned in her arms a large sheaf ot white chrysanthemums, tied with tulle. Mrs. Jeese Helm was second maid of honor and wore her wedding frock of embroidered chiffon over satin, with pearl trimmings, and carried a ihower bouquet of white snap-drag-ons tied with white tulle.

Nestling in white rosebuds which -each carried were the two rings for the double ring ceremony. Dressed preciiely as the ring bearers, was t'ie bride's cousin, little Catherine Bell, as flower girl, who carried a shepherdess basket twined with green smilax and filled with white rose-pet-als. which she showered’in the path of the bride, Miss Frances Merryman, who entered last, on the arm of her ’other, Judge J.

Following the ceremony the newly

Under a dome, hidden with ferns and training vines, was the centerpiece of the table, a crystal shepherdess bas ket filled with pink snap-dragons. A Pink tulle bow adorned the crystal handle of the basket. From the basI ket to the corners of the table, ran : trailers of smilax, and pink hooded pandies shed a bright glow over the scene. The bride's cake was i n pink, and the candles were served In little pink paper crimps in heart shape. The heart shapes were also carried I out in the ice cream aud the pea patI ties and other items of menu. Place cards were bride and groom pictures. A little table, precisely like the larger one, placed in the little bower-like alcove, accommodated the little peop'e of the party and was in charge of -Miss Vivian Burk. The other guests were accommodated through the other rooms. Assisting in the serving were the Misses Florence Myers, Dorothy Dugan. Beta Erwin, Lillian Rice and Masters Robert Merryman and Robert Quinn.

The average cost per pupil in the certified high schools of the state was $45.36 in the townsbTp schools; $24.12 in the town schools, and $42.21 in the county > schools. . The averages are approximate, according to Mr. Greathouse. The figures will be used in the forthcoming biennial report from the state official. The report shows that the average cost per pupil in the non-commission-ed high schools was $46.07 in the township schools, $37.32 in the tow n schools. $34.13 in the city schools and $44.56 in the county schools. The total current cost of maintenance for ■ the commissioned schools was: $359,389.98 in the townships, s42'l,- . 656.11 in the towns, $1,241,303.02 i” the cities and $2,024,354.11 in the i counties.

The organization of bowling teams ■ is progressing nicely, there now being six different teams in cou. se of com- , pletion. which when finished will probably be consolidated into a , league, which will play leagues in the • surrounding towns. Already the Democrat team has been organized and today the final or- ; ganization of the "White Stag' tegm ; and the “Jersey'’ teams were made. I In the White Stag team the players > are Sherman Beery, Lynn Shoemaker, • Lawrence Biggs, Earl Core and Robt ert Peterson. The Jersey team play- - ers are Barton Schraluka, Adam Scha- > fer, Charles Kennedy. Carl Schafer , and Albert Mutschler. The initial practice of the last two i teams will take place tonight when at - 8 o'clock they will play on the Hart- ■ ing alleys. - Other teams which will be organiz--t ed will be the K. of C. and clerks, and I maybe the postoffice team will be resi urrected. In that case there will be something doing here this winter and i bowling will take an impetus it right- ' fully deserves. c The steps to organize the teams t into a league havb not yet been startI ed, but it is safe to say they will con- ■ soiidate for out of town games' ; Des Moines, lowa, Oct. 24 —Propost ed changes tn tne law governing the Modern Woodmen of America are in direct violation of the vested contract ( f rights of the members and are null ( i'and void so far as they attempt to s change the rates without the consent ■ | of the members, according to a ruling J handed down by Judge Charles S , Bradshaw, of the equity division of ; the district court. I The decision was given on a case » wherein the insurgent wing of the or t ganization asked the court to set 1 aside and annul certain changes in • I the articles of the association s bys laws adopted by the head camp of the . I Woodmen at an adjourned session 8 held in Chicago in January, 1912. .1 The court said: f First, that under a certificate of , this character tie holder occupies to-

ward the society a dual relation; he, as a member of the corporation, is bound by all reasonable by-laws enacted by the corporation, whether they come into existence before or after the Issuance of his certificate, lie also occupies the position of a person holding a contract with the society and as such stands on the same footing as any other person making a contract with it. Second, that the contract of insurance consists of the certificate of application for membership, the articles of association, by-laws of the society and the statutes of the state of Illi-1 nois relating thereto. Fourth, there is no difference in principle between reducing the amount of benefit and increasing the price charged for the benefit. Fifth, that the proposed change in the law is a direct violation of the vested rights of the plaintiffs and other members, and is null and void so far as it attempts to cjiange the rates or plan without the consent of the member. Sixth, that the amendments are illegal and void because not adopted by a two-thirds vote of the members. Seventh, that the new law of the society proposes to change both the rate and plan of insurance .and both rate and plan are a part of the members' contrct. FUNERAL OF MRS. M'CONNELL. The ftlneral of Mrs. Mark McConnell was held this morning at 10 o'clock from the Methodist church, in charge of Rev. R. L. Semans. The church was filled with the friends of this well known lady, whose life, until the last few years had been spent her# Her death occurred Sunday night at her home at Cardwell, Mo., from cancer. The body was brought here Wednesday morning and lay in state at the Frank McConnell home until the funeral. A BAD RUNAWAY. Miss Celia Hoffman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hoffman, who live east of town, was thrown from a buggy when the horse frightened at the opening of a gate and sustained a deep gash upon the forehead and the dislocation of two bones in the right arm. She had been waiting for another girl with whom it is the custom for her to come to Decatur to school when the accident occurred. —Contributed. — _____ Decatur is sending a large representation to the sixth annual convention of the State Federation of Woman's clubs held at Fort Wayne, beginning Wednesday and continuing through the week. The convention was formally opened Wednesday evning at the First Presbyterian church when the visiting delegates were given a warm welcome and Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter of Indianapolis, delivered the annual president's address. The meeting was followed by a reception at the Minuet hail. Mrs. McWhirter briefly outlined what the federation has accomplished during the few years of its existence and what its aims are for the future. The social evil and the white slave traffic were touched upon, the speaker commending the action of the doctors of the state in their effort to obtain supervision of the former, and lauding the government and the various states that are waging war on the trafficking in womep. Incidentally she held out the hope that the time is short until the ballot is given the women of Indiana and she pictured many of the reforms they will seek when the right to vote is theirs. Addresses of welcome were made by Mrs. Elizabth J. Dawson, president of the Woman s Eeague of Fort Wayne; Mrs. Edward M. Wilson, chairman o fthe Twelfth district section of the federation, and Charles H. Worden, who spoke for the Commercial club and the city at large in the absence of Theodore F. Thieme, president of the club. The there, in well-chosen words, made the visiting ladies feel the hearty greeting that Fort Wayne and the Twelfth district extend to them. Mrs. Lewis J. Cox of Terre Hattie, vice president of the Federation, responded to th addresses of welcome. The Apollo club rendered several selections ,two of which had been composed by John B. Archer, its leader, especially for the occasion. That Fort Wayne should have a police matron was forcibly brought ' out by Mrs. McWhirter in her address, and she deplored that the state ’ law reads that cities over 10,000 i>opulation “may" appoint one, instead of “must.” No matter what a woman may have done, or how low she may have fallen in the social scale, it is not right, that she should be attended by men while in jail, she said. “That many girls go wrong is the, fault of their parents, who, because, of false modesty or neglect, do not warn them of the pitfalls of the world today. When a girl leaves her home to go to a.city (and there are hundreds of them every week) they should be told by their mothers and fathers of the dangers that will beset

them on every side. Unlnstructed and knowing little of city life, these girls are going to ruin every day, drawn down by a false glamour that they would shun If they but knew in advance what the consequence will be. "Every normal woman seeks to make her home the abiding place of love, truth and happiness, but she is broadening out every day. Her children grow up and leave home, entering a world over which the mother now has no control. But the woman Is fast obtaining some control. She I is doing It through organizations such |as ours and the ballot, Which state! after state Is giving to her. She is working for better homest better schools, better city government and better legislation that will bring about all these things, protect her children and safeguard women." After leaving the church the ladles adjourned to the Scottish Rite cathedral, and later held a reception at the Minuet hall. The convention opened IVVednesday morning at the Anthony hotel, when,the registration of delegates took place, and the rest of the time was given over to the meetings of the various committees, until the format evening opening. Those who went down to hear the excellent program for today were Mrs. C. A. Dugan, Mrs. John W. Tyndall, Mrs. John Heller, Mrs. John Niblick, of the Shakoeiteare club; Mrs. E. B. Adams, Mrs. Roy Archbold, Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer, Miss Marie Patterson <7 the Euterpear. Owing to illness, of themselves, or other members of the families, the delegates and alternates from the Historical club were unable to go today. — >-o BASE BALL. Poe'..rely the last game of base ball to be played here this season will take place Sunday when Decatur will play New Haven, who claims the championship for amateur base ball in Indiana. Both Decatur and NewHaven have beaten the same teams and the game here Sunday' will be fought to a finish as the championship is at stake. , ~ . o-.— —. BIG FIRE NARROWLY AVERTED.
