activity about the home of the Elks on South College avenue. The occasion for the animation on the part of the wearers of the antieis was the fact that three new .candidates, all from Bedford Henry Braxtan, George Charles and Chas. Moore, all leading citi. kens, were to be initiated. There was a full attendance of the mem
bers and the work was completed about eleven o'clock, after which
a social session was held. At present there are 62 members in
the local lodge which was orga
nized June a vear asro. This
: ml . . C3 speaks well for the growth of the
order. Arrangements have aboi
been perfected with the Waldron
heirs, looking to the erection of a
larorA and fnmrnnrlinns home on
the east side of the square, the
scence of last spring's fire. The building will be equipped with
bath rooms, closets and all mod
ern conveniences.
DUNCAN'S REASONS.
Wiry Kt Will Be a Candidate for Lieu tenant Governor.
The Indianapolis rress says :
"A story is being told in politica
circles as to why ex-Senator Henry Clay Punean of Bloomiigton
is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant gover
nor. It is asserted that he is the
aneeial candidate of the state
i - school element. While he was in
the senate, he was the uncompro
mising champion of the interests
of the state schools, introducing all of their bills and fighting all of their battles in the committee rooms. . 'The state school people, it is
alleged, feel that if he is elected all legislation inimical to their interests will be stopped for four
years to come. As a matter or fact, the lieutenant governor may
be, if he choose, a power in shap
ing legislation. He may appoint (
committees with the end in view
heading off or promoting any
special legislation. While Mr.
Duncan's record in the legislature was above reproach, it is recalled that he was the most bitter par-
isan the state schools have ever
had in the legislature.
' 'According to one story, Sen
ator Duncan does not desire to be a candidate for the nomination and has reluctantly yielded to the pressure of the state school ele
ment. This report has already made him a central target for the non-state school element.
'The state schools are prepar
ing to introduce some bills next winter, and it is known that votes were traded in the last session to secure the support of hold-over
senators for legislation for the state schools in the coming ses
sion.

HONOR OF' MRS. PERRY.
Mrs. W. N. Matthews' Pleasant Recep
tion at Bedford,
The Bedford Mail says: "Mrs. William Matthews gave a very
delightful reception yesterday aft
ernoon, having as her guests of honor Mrs. Perry of Bloomington and Mrs. James Matthews of Salem. The parlors were tastefully decorated with potted plants and vases filled with pink and white roses, while the diningroom was decorated with white and pink carnations, and delicious refreshments were served here. Mrs. Matthews is a charming hostess, and entertained a large company last evening, which included the members of the Baptist church, of which she is a devoted and influential member."
thing. The court stated that if the husband had not discovered the fact during the several months he had gazed into her dreamy eyes, it was surely a good thing and would not interfere with domestic happiness. The groom claimed "false pretense." The supreme court has just decided that if a mau marries a woman who is indebted to him the marriage discharges the debt. This ruling was made in a suit taken through the courts by William R. Gosnell against his wife. He had loaned her $4,000, and then getting better acquainted, he married her. In the Clark county circuit court a novel case has just been stricken from the books. It was entitled Smith vs. Stuart, and was brought for the possession of an engagement ring after the engagement had been broken by the young woman. Albert Smith was jilted by Nellie Stuart. She refused to return his ring. He instituted suit, Miss Stuart's mother presented as an offset a bill for gas and coal used in the courting. A trial resulted in a decision in favor of the defendant. Smith took an appeal, but later
reconsidered and abandoned the;
suit. Mrs. Clarence Peterman of Montgomery county has just been held to an ante-nuptial contract,
; which provided that she should I'cut her husband's hair and furnish ;him with hot bread every meal. I She became negligent on her contract and sued for a divorce. In
the suit which followed the contract was brought in and a divorce was denied her.

"UNCLE BILLY."
"The Watchdog of the Treasury" Gets in Line
The announcement of William Peterson of Benton township that he would be a candidate for commissioner from the First district, is causing no end of speculation among some of the Kepublican politicians. That he would wait until the eleventh hour before declaring his candidacy, leads many to believe that there is something back of the move. He evidently has the promise of the plum, because ho is too shrewd a politician to ever attempt to land the nomination in the face of any very strong opposition. Mr. Peterson served two terms as commissioner and was defeated for the third because of the stand he took on the liquor question being opposed to granting license. While filling the office he gained the soubrqiet of "Watchdog of the Treasury." It remains to be seen whether or not the slate made by the town gang a few nights ago will be changed or smashed.
