One Marion Hathaway of Muncie, Ind, cards the Muncie Star in reply to Editor George W. Patchell, in ■which Mr. Patchell declared dire things against the Stilwell people in the Eighth district, and Mr. Hathaway declares that if the Cromerites are satisfied with Mr. Adair and want to continue a Democrat in office, all well and good, for just as sure as Cromer’s hand is in the next nomination," M. Hathaway says, Mr. Adair will be re-elected. In part Mr. Hathaway says: “I can tell them all plainly and sincerely that neither Mr. Cromer nor his friends will be able to choose the successful candidate in two years from now. The Common people have learned a lesson not to be so soon forgotten and if Mr. Cromer is a candidate or is successful in naming the man, every mother’s son that voted against him. with many more recruits will promptly and surely go to the polls and give his opponent the Democratic candidate & much larger majority than they did last year. “We are not for offices but we are determined that the congressman from the best district in Indiana shall be a man of such character that not only the people of the Eighth district, but all the people of the state and nation may well be proud of. I trust that Mr. Adair may prove himself worthy of the excellent position and if Mr. Cromer and his friends want to keep Mr. Adair in office, just let them proceed along the lines laid down by Mr. Patchell and I will assure Mr. Adair of a life-time lease on the job.”

SURPRISE VICTIMS (Continued from Page 1.) ing, which was not given us until today, was the delightful party at the home of George Geels. A crowd of young people drove to his home and had a general good time. Among the pleasant features of the pvening was .he fine vocal solo, rendered by J. H. Bueter of Fort Wayne. A pleasant surprise last evening, was the one given for Miss Georgia Meibers at her home on North Fifth street. Progressive pedro was the main feature, at which Miss Bessie Tonnelier and Joe Harting received first prizes, while Miss Rose Tonnelier and Oscar Lankenau consoled themselves with the boobies. Delicious refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. A delightful party was given last evening at the home of Charles Hawkins, living south of the city, in honor of his brother, Omar Hawkins of Sharpsville, Ind. The evening was spent in various games and an oldfashioned taffy- pulling, which everyone heartily enjcyed. At a late hour tie guests deoiv '■d, declaring Charles an ideal ent jrc.’rer.

I One of the sociable afternoons that are enjoyed by the members of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian church was spent Wednesday !at the home of Mrs. Eli Meyers of ■First street. Mrs. Fristoe opened the meeting by reading from the Bible, the story of Dedrock, from the book of Judges. During the three hundred years which covers the time of the Judges, there were fifteen judges and Dedrock is the only known woman who has ever served as a judge. A very fine vocal solo was given by Rev. Fowler and he Certainly did exceedingly well and a couple of selections were rendered by Mrs. Lutz, after 'which very dainty refreshments were served and a social hour enjoyed. Frances, the sweet little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Erwin, and also the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moesse were seven years old yesterday, and in consequence, Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Moesse invited fifteen other little friends to come to the home of the former and help celebrate the birthday anniversaries. The afternoon was spent with various games and then dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. Fanny Cole of Lancaster, 0., was the honored guest at a most pleasant social event given last evening by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Schafer at their luxurious home on Monroe street. Pit and other games formed the amusements until eleven o’clock, when a several course luncheon was enjoyed. During this part of the entertainment a riddle contest was conducted, Dr. Earl G. Coverdale winning the honors. A happy hour of peppermins, cigars and music followed and the guests were loath to leave even at the late hour.

Another prettily appointed dinner of last evening was that given by Miss Clara Lang at six o'clock. The home was artistically decorated with cut flowers. The dining table was verypretty with the effect of red candles and a beautiful bouquet of flowers in the center, while the mantle was banked with ferns and flowers. The dinner was beautifuly served in six courses. The guests were the Misses Jessie McLean, Louise Holbrock, Mary Niblick, Vera Ehinger, Kate Henneford, Edna Crawford, Mae Niblick, Lettie Lange, and Mr. Cummings of Chicago. During the evening excellent solos were rendered by Miss Mae Niblick and Mr. Cummins. o Bobo M. E. Circuit. The following church services will be held on Bobo M.

So far as we are concerned, Marshal Green and The Democrat are at peace with the world. This truce of peace is caused by the fact that the word is out that Mrs. Foster of Winchester street “boarding and rooming” fame is packing her household goods and in a few days will leave Decatur for Oklahoma. The residents of Winchester street will not shed a very copious stream of crocodile tears over this departure. Os course, they will all miss her —and some other people will miss her —but they will try and worry along some way.

MUSIC AT THE RINK TONIGHT Lovers of roller skating have another opportunity to enjoy the sport tonight. Miller's band will be here with enlivening music and a big crowd is expected.

Music tomorrow night. o NATURE'S CATARRH CURE Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure This Disagreeable Disease. Nearly everyone suffers at one time or another with catarrh. The natural way to cure this disagreeable disease is by applying healing medications direct to the diseased spot. • In no other way can this be done as naturally as by the use of Hyomei, breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. Put several drops of Hyomei in the Inhaler and then for a few minutes, for or five times a day, let the air you breathe come through it In that way all the air that enters the nasal passages, the throat or the lungs, is filled with Hyomei's healing medication, reaching the most remote air cells of the respiratory organs, destroying all catarrhal germs and soothing and healing the irritated mucous membrane. A few days use of Hyomei will showhow quickly it relieves all catarrhal conditions, and you will not have to use it long before you find it has effected a complete and lasting cure So strong is the Holthouse Drug Co.’s faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal troubles that with every dollar outfit they give a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy gives satisfaction. They take all the despousibility and you cannot afford to suffer longer with catarrh when an offer like this is made to you. Should extra bottles of Hyomei be needed they can be obtained for 50c, making this one of the most economical as well as the most reliable remedies fer oatarrh that ia know*.
