The time was pleasanity I, spent in dancing and playing I games, of which cards perhaps I afforded the most enjoyment. Appropriate prizes were offered and were won in a close struggle, i Refreshments were served. The Aeolian Musical Club furnishi'd music in their usual likely way and greatly assisted in making the occasion as complete as it was. Bluffton papers, in the face of an acknowledgment by Harry Cutting that the score was 12 and 12, came out in their last evening's edition announcing that the score was il and 12 in favor of Bluffton. They doctored the score in the sixth inning and only credit Decatur with one run when two were made. In the sixth Mercer was the first up and struck out. Touhey followed and did the same.

HE WARNS US. Foster Predicts Weather for September. Mr. Foster, one of the best known weather prophets of the age, predicts that September will be a cyclone month and gives forth words of warning. August will be rather a pleasant month. In speaking of the weather for the next sixty days he says: August is not usually a stormy month but some rough weather will occur about 17 and 24. Very hot about 6, very cool, almost cold, about 27 with northern frosts. 1' am expecting symie very dangerous storms in September. That will be a tornado and hurricane month. Great extremes of temperature and rain; from drouth to flood and from extreme heat to ecrly frosts. No September of recent times has brought greater weather events. I do not hesitate to warn the people of all civilized countries to remain close to good protection, and particularly not to venture on the water. By giving heed to these warnings nothing can lie lost, much may be saved. Our navy should shelter its fleets in the best harlxirs and ships that must go to sea should prepare for the worst. Os course I cannot give v he exact localities of the tornado and flood but I closely point out the dates and in general way the localities. My readers know that I am not inclined to sensational forecasts, that I have avoided that style of doubtful propriety but I cannot too strongly urge the importance of giving heed to these warnings. Better wait until October 1 before you hurl your ; ridicule at this very important j forecast; better count up the millions that will be saved by giving heed to it. A small foretaste of what is coming will be encountered during 1 last half of August. THE LIBERTY BELL. The Liberty Bell which is most I dear to all patriotic Americans, is realy private property. In 1828 | the Philadelphia council contracted with John Wilbank for a ♦ll,*oo bell which was to take its place. The old bell was sold to Mr. Wilbank for <4OO but he refused to melt it saving that the time would come when American people would value it much mon* thun it was worth to him as bell metal. So truly it belongs to the Wilbank heirs. — Special Chicago Excursion.

OBITUARY. Death having invaded our circle and taken from us our beloved president, Mrs. Florilia Burch 1 Segur, we the members of the Decatur Indiana Auxiliary of the Christian Woman's board of Missions hereby express our great sorrow at this sad bereavement. She was one of the few remaining charter members of the Decatur Christian church, a devoted member of the C. W. B. M. and an exemplary Christian. Her last words and | work on earth were plans for the next auxiliary meeting. Hers is the first death we have to record since our organization, and of all our membership we feel that no other would be so greatly missed. Young and strong and energetic her death comes to us as a great shock. Always faithful to duty as i she saw it. her place will lx* hard to fill. She was an active member of i the Aid Society of the church, and , also belonged to the Ladies' Histor--1 ical Reading Club of Decatur in which circle she was highly esteemed for her sterling qualities. Forilla Burch was born in Metz, Steuben • county, Indiana, forty-six years 1 ago and entered into the higher , life on July 17, 1903. She leaves besides her husband, a son and three i young daughters all of whom sadly needed mother's care and training. ’I In memory of our dear sister therefore be it Resolved: That in the death of sister Segur, our C. W. B. M. has lost one of its most faithful members, whose Christian influence will live on I forever. Resoved: That we express our great a], ' preciation of her faithful efforts in serving her Master, Christ. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions jbe sent to the Missionary Tidings, j to the city papers and the family of the deceased. Marie L. Holloway, Florence Buhler, Sadie Gillig. ‘ Committee.
