The Utterbacks in Litigation Over Their Father's Estate. It wasa rather lamentable case that dragged its way through circuit court on TueBday and Wedneudaj. The trial was before Judge Harney. It was a partition suit in which George, Dick and Thomson Utterback were plaintiffs and their four sisters, or heirs, Mrs. Stubbing Quick, Mrs. Joe Bowers, Mrs. JaBper Hutchinson and the heirs of Mrs. Forgy Mclntire were the defendants.
About one year ago the father, Harmon Utterback died and left a will. His estate consists of the home place of 212 acres, 40 acres in Coal Creek township and a tract of land in Starke county, in all, valued at between $12,000 and $13,000. The daughters all married men in fair circumstances, and the father had therefore helped the sons more than the daughters. There is a clause in the deeds that states that the sens should not receive anything until the daughters were made equal. About ten years ago the boys each received $3,000 apieco in money and advanced deeds to land Five years ago the boys deeded their holdings back to get a warranty deed ffom their father in order that they might realise on the land at any time they might need money or make a good sale.
Tbe girls claim that they offered to settle with the boys by allowing them $2,500 and thvo keep ou* of court. This, they refused to do, prefering to risk their chances on the partition suit just closed. The plaintiff's attorneys were Paul & Bruner and A. D. Thomas, while the defense was represented by Crane Jc Anderson.
The argument closed at noon Thursday. Before the adjournment the judge announced that he would hold the advancement made to the boys as good. The defendants have therefore won the case. Pending a further examination of the evidence, which will take a few days, the judge's final decision will not be given.

The French Meter.
Everybody knows that the French standard ot measurement is the "meter," but hovr many correct answers do you think you could get should you? put the question to the first hundred persons you meet: What is the basis of French measurement? What is the "meter" a part of? Should you be fortunate to get a single correct answer it would be something like this: The French standard measure of length is founded on the measurement of the earth from the pole to the equator on the meridian of Paria This total distance is divided in to 10,000,000 equal parts, each of which is "meter." The meter is 1.094 English yards.
Where We Got It.
Among the funny* things at the Columbian exposition was a little incident at the single-tax congress while A. H. Stephenson, the single-tax leader of Philadelphia, was making »n eloquent onset upon Henry Qeorge for his Chinese restriction ideas. He had just referred to the doors being abut against the Chinese, and with impassioned voioe asked: "Where did we get those doors? Did the Creator give them to ns? Whu gave ns this country, anyway?" To this question a voice in the crowd promptly called out, with great damage to the flow of eloquemco: "We stole it from the Indiana."
Speaktag KIBM Cornntljr. As a general rule, it annoya a celebrity to be "called out of his name."

Mr. Du Manrier, when one of hia devotees addressed him aa De Maurier, is said, with equal wit and good-nature, to have adjured him to "give the devil his V«L"
