During her short stay here she has made a host of friends who regret that her visit has been so short.The Red Men had a great time at• •* m * i . ••Manlovels park Sunday. A large delegation headed by a brass band. i ’represented Muncie, and the Second Regiment band headed the Conners-viile delegation. Representatives from Cambridge City, Richmond and Rushville, were present, and all had a good social time. The concerts by the bands were most enjoyable features. There were about a thousand people at the park.* F. T. Roots atnd H. Munk received a letter Monday morning Btating that their father-in-law, William Heilman, was Binking fast and would only live a short time. Before the next train left they received a telegram that he had died. Both gentlemen and their families left for the home of the: deceased at 10 o’clock. Some time^ago Mr. Heilman had the lagrippe, firom the effects of which he neyer , recovered, which wasindirectly the cause of his death. He was one of the Wealthiest and most influential men in his• , • * ‘ • * • . '• ’ * * . ^city. He has represented his District in Congress and was largely interested in several important railroad enterprises. At .Evansville, his home, he was one of its most enterprising citizens.•••.* •• * . ' *The musical congress entertainment at Roots’ hall Saturday evening, with one or two exceptions; was all that could be desired. The splendid iprogramme commenced with an overture by the Hariisoh family w;bich was well received, as was Clarence Klenck’s violin solo. Ida Stepp and Olga Vonbazfeldt were just too cute, and captured the audience. The harp solo by Rocco, the cornet solo; by Miss' Cheatham, and the Ocherine solo by Henry Harrison, were liberally applauded. The vocal solos by Messrs. liiiler, Johnston, Miss Neliie Churchill were splendidly; rendeired. Our little folks, Nellie and Bessie Sinks and Eva Cooley, by their playing, whistling and singing, received l|a a large share of ap^lause' and admiration. There was room for improvement in the singing of the ‘‘Hainll-ton Dudes,” and the' prince had levl-dently missed his calling; Taken all together; it was very plhasafff lahd hugely enjoyed. - Thetpoofcpaft of tfe programme made the good port!on all
