JEFFERSON CLUB HOP TO BE SEASON’S FEATURE

Very Pleasant Time and Large Crowd Anticipated at Club’s Annual i Thanksgiving Dance. The Jefferson Club is making great preparations to make their' Thanksgiving hop the social event of the season. The old decorations were torn down and the armory will be redecorated. Douglass, the popular colored musician, of Indianapolis, will be here with a four-piece orchestra. The impression has gone forward that the dance was to be a program affair, and that impression is to be corrected, as no programs are to be allowed and those who had made them have consented to discard them. This will give the correct tone to the informal dance, and to correct the impression that programs were being made, is the object of this article. Everything that will tend to make the dance the most pleasant and successful one that ever has been given here, will be* done by the club. The Invitations went out a w;eek ago, and if any out of town guests have not been supplied, any member of the Jefferson' Club will be pleased to see that you are taken care of. Mrs. Mary Jane Hopkins has returned from Monticella and will again' take up her residence here. If you have a hat you wish made over or a new one made, come in this week, as our millinery season closes soon. Rowles & Parker, The Big Store. Mrs. J.

The state university team looked to be the best for a short time and succeeded In closing the first half with the score 7 to 7. In the third and fourth periods, however, the Purdue “boiler makers” fairly played the Bloomington athletes off their feet. The Rensselaer people who saw the game enjoyed It very much. About 10,000 people saw the contest, Another freak election bet was pulled off over at Churubusco, Ind., the other day, when as a result of the ballot figures, the editor of ttye Truth of that town -had the pleasure of throwing two dozen eggs at a business man of the same place, the latter standing on a store box twenty paces from the editor. Nothing was said in the bet as to the kind of eggs, and’ accounts differ as to their age. But at that, the editor is either a mighty poor pitcher or the business man is a mighty good dodger, for only three of the two dozen eggs hit the target. Alexander Winski, a patient at St. Joseph hospital in f’t. Wayne, is about to be discharged well and strong enough to return to manual work, after recovering from a very unusual and difficult operation. He was taken to the hospital for treatment for stomach trouble of an aggravated character. Dr. Macßeth decided to operate, and he found the stomach in a condition that meant early death. He cut out the organ, sewed the lower intestines to the aesophagus and the patient’s canvalescence has been highly satisfactory.

Mrs. Korah Daniels, whose husband went to Sioux City, Friday, on account of the sickness with typhoid fever of their son, Fred, received a letter today, written by Fred himself, which expressed a very encouraging outlook. It was written immediately after he had been taken to the hospital and before the disease was very far advanced. A card was also received from Korah, written Saturday evening, which said that Fred’s fever was then the highest it had so far been, and that he was slightly delirious, but that his condition was not at all critical. Fred is a member of the local Red Men lodge and members of that order at Sioux City had taken him to the hospital and were giving him every care. The secretary of the lodge there bad also advised the local lodge of Red Men that they were looking after him. He will be brought home as soon as be Can make the trip. ■ V
