The Friday night club met at the home of Miss Blanche Renyolds last evening and a delightful time was had. Ttie principal amusement was afforded by progressive dominos and the first prize was awarded to Miss Lizzie Peterson. Four new members will be initiated into the ranks of the Entre Nous club tonight. This club is no secret order though it has some sort of a goat to ride, the exact nature of which is not known. The Entre Nous is growing fast and is becoming as strong as any association of its kind in the city. The St. Miuy's river is booming today. The water’s surface is within eight feet of the Monroe street bridge. The lowlands along the eastern side are all a lake of muddy water. The sudden rise is due to the melting of the snow and the recent heavy rains. The farmers who have corn or fodder yet in the fields will have a heavy loss. The lagrippe is now prevvalent to a very wide extent. There are families in Decatur in which every member is ix sick. The weather today was decidedly more adverse to good health than yesterday and part of the cause ' can be attributed to this. The doctors are kept busy prescribing medicine to check what ought result in an , epidemic. Grip is very prevalent, and the re ports from patients suffering with that disease, come in fast and furious. In many instances business men have been liandieaped severely owing to the sickness of their employees and have been forced to suspend business. And what is worse the weather is in the proper quarter to encourage the | continuance of the trouble and those ; who have not yet suffered, will need be careful to avoid an attack. Eugene Christen, the architect, went to Winchester this morning to submit a sketch of a $20,000 church to tbe building hoard of the Presbyterian church of that city. The 1 church, as proposed by Mr. Christen, will be a stone veneered building of | the most convenient arrangement ami' very beautiful appearance. It is safe i Ito say that Gene will have a set of plans that will compare with any submitted, and we predict that his : will be adopted. Rev. Charles S. Parker who has been assisting Rev. Pontius, of this city, in a series of meetings at the U. B. church, returned to his home at Peru, Ind., today. Mr. Parker delivered a lecture at tbe opera house last Sunday, and so impressed the peeple that he made many friends and admirers. He may possibly return to this city within a week or so, ; for a few days stay, although it has not been determined on as he cannot say whether or not he can get away from his own church.

Scott, shoemaker at Tague’s, I returned to his home at Larwell this i 1 afternoon, Warren Cutting returned to Bluffton this noon after visiting here a few days with his parents. Dent Spencer arrived this afternoon i i from Muncie, where he is working for i i the Muncie Iron Works. Fred MeFeely, who has a position in the office of the Fort Wayne Electric Light Co., will visit a few days here. Mrs. Braden of Fort Wayne, was called here today on account of the I ' serious illness of her sister, Miss Gvp ' Dorwin. Frank Parrish, a regular solicitor for the Daily Democrat, is numbered , among the victims of that old terror, 1 lagrippe. Miss Martha Koldeway, of Union i jtownship went to Ft. Wayne this | I morning where she will visit with . ' relatives and friends. Miss Richards who is working in i the office of the Carrol Elevator Co., | left for Toledo this afternoon where : she will visit over Sunday with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Myers, of; Woodburn were in the city a short | time yesterday having came in from Geneva. They had been at the i bedside of Jacob Wagmiller, who is very low with the dropsy. Frank McConnell will report in Ft. Wayne Monday from which place he ; will start out upon a regular trip for i the International Harvister company, i having a territory of sixteen counties to cover. Frank is a thorough and I competent machine man and will do all kinds of business for the company | which he represents. Mr. and Mrs. Will Abel are the guests of friends here for a few days, their home now being nt Dayton. Ohio, where Mr. Abel owns a prosperous tailoring establishment. Mrs. I Abel will remain here about two weeks, while Will expects to return I home next Monday. Will says tell his friends to address him at 433 N. Main street. Dayton. • Toledo is noted for a number of i things, but the three most prominent indices of Toledo and what her peo- \ plearethinking of. are Mayor Jones. Creosus, and the Quadruplets. The 1 ! three share divided honors, but it is 1 I possible that the latter hold the most I attention. Some time ago one dozen pair of shoes were sent by the Har-1 rod & Waggoner Shoe Co. to the littie one through Mayor Jones, and a letter was recently received from that i person by the Shoe company stating that the shoes had been delivered to the Stanislaus Sphschalski family, and that they were very thankful for the present. The quadruplets have received a number of gifts from promi nent people all over the country. SOMETHIN' DOIN’ Young Men's Reception is to be Unique. The young men of the Presbyterian I church are arranging for a reception to be held at the Presbyterian parsonage at seven o,clock on the evening of March 6th and from what we can learn the affair will be a happy one. Invitations will tie sent out Monday and by the wav they are real cute anil contain just enough of the mysterious to make us want to know what is meant. But the boys won't tell and if one wants to know he will have to i attend the reception. The l’li> net Vlereury. Though Mercury is one of the smallest of the planets, it is perhaps the most troublesome to the astronom ?r. : It lies so close to the sun that it is : seen but seldom in comparison with the other great planets. Its orbit is I very eccentric, and it experiences dis tui-lMinees by the attraction of other ' , bodies in away not yet fully underi stood. A special difficulty has also been found in the attempt to place ! ; Mercury in the weighing scales. We can weigh the whole earth, we can | weigh the sun, the moon and even Jupiter and other planets, loir Mercury presents difficulties of a peculiar char- | I actcr. Lc \ errier. b'»>- ■•"■r. »oc,-,.,.,i..d ! in devising a method of weighing It. He demonstrated that our earth Is ‘ attracted by this planet, and he sliowd i how the amount of attraction may be J disclosed by observations of the sun, [ so that from an examination of the observations he made an approximate determination of the mass of Mercury. I.e Verrier's result indicated that the weight of the planet was about the fifteenth part of the weight of the earth. In other words, If our earth was placed In a balance and fifteen globes, each equal to Mercury, were laid in the other the scales would hang evenly.—“ Story of the Heavens.” Logger Drowned in the Ohio.
