1.M. Oliver M. Emperly vs. State of Indiana Montgomery C. C. Reversed Gavin.

(I Under tho criminal code, it is provided that no instrument shall be deemed invalid nor (plashed for omitting to state the time at which the offense was committed in any ease in which time is not of the essence of the- offense. rJi An affidavit charging one with having committed the offense of keeping

house to he used for gaming on the day of January. is not had for want of definitely stating the time, that not being of the essence of the offense

Knowledge is an essential ingredient of the offense, and being made so by the letter of the statute, it must be regarded as material to the affidavit. M, It was error to charge the jury to convict upon proof going to establish his guilt "for permitting the house to be used for gaining,'' as that offense was not properly charged, nor was appellant on trial for other than the otlense of keeping a house to be used for gaming.

Changes in Those Teaching History

and Physiology.

Ihe state board of education met this afternoon to take up Beveral subjects that are demanding attention, says luesday's Indianapolis News. It will probably be in session several days. Ihe tirst duty will be tho preparation of examination qurstions for the next six months. The second will be the preparation of a course of study for ihe high schools of the State, and the third will be the consideration of the report of the committee on revision of ihe school histories and physiologies. The history will be revised at the request of the C. A. R. of ihe State. Not a great many changes will be made in the book, for the committee believes that aB a whole it is satisfactory. The story of the civil war will be revised in accordance with the facts set outin the Century war papers. One of the members of tho board said Tuesday that representatives of the (J. A. R. would probably not be satisfied with the revision. The committee, it is understood, will not be able to recommend that as much credit be given to some of the federal generals as 1 members of the G. A. R. could wish.

The physiology will be revised in accordance with the act of the last legislature, requiring that the effects of alcohol on the human system be taught in the public schools.

obituary nn.

tice for his paper which died last Saturday. The headlines were: "Starved to Death The Great Populist Party With 5,000 Voters in the District Actually Starved the Exponent and the Peoples' Journal to Death Many Subscribers Have Paid Only Twentyfive Cents Since the First Issue of the Paper: While Hundreds Have Not Paid One Penny Among the Latter a Member of the Peoples' Party Central Committee.

The "obituary notice" was as follows: "With this issue the Peoples, Journal suspends publication. "The Journal was intended to do what it might for the party and could have been made to do much if a different spirit had been manifested by thos6 who profess to be reformers, bu* they took no interest in the paper further than self advancement. "few cf those whose names are found on its list have paid their subscription, and nearly all are in the arrears for more than a year, while from many of these reformers not a penny has been received, yet they all claim to be reformers. They appear to be willing to show it by words, but not by deeds. They are reformers when it costs them nothing. A few (you can count them on the fingers of one hand) are reformers at a small cost when they are candidates for office."

The Board of Police Commissioners of Indianapolis, caused an upheaval Tuesday night in the police force. Twenty-nine patrolmen were summarily bounced--11 republicans and 1:3 deaio-cruts--and tho vacancies will be filled to the board's liking. There were no charges against any of tho dismissed men, but tho hoard claimed that their place? could bo better filled. It is understood that tho detective force will remain unchanged. Robert Campbell, senior captain of the force, has already tendered his resignation, for want of harmony with the superintondant. There is great alarm in tire department circles, it being understood that this department will be ripped up tho back.

The divorce business in the Indiana courts have increased extensively in the last year. This is shown by statistical comparisons which have recently been made by State Statistician Thompson. Since he has been in office Mr. Thompson has endeavored to secure statistics from county clerks, auditors, sheriffs and recorders all over tho State. These reports are to go into the bienial report of tho office next year.

From the county clerks the statistic-^ ian has received information concerning the number of divorces and marriage licenses granted during the year ending June ,'!0, 1S!.C). As shown by tho reports from all the county clerks except Cass county the number of divorces ganted in the State during thit period wasl!.7.'i0. For the same period 181)4 the number was "2,2711. A comparison of these figures shows an increaso of nearly fo.ir hundred cases in the State. Of the number of divorces procured in tho last year, 1.SC.7 were granted to wives and 80-'! to husbands. Four hundred and one decrees of divorco were granted in Marion county. Pery county shows tho smallest number. In tho county there were but two legal separations. Benton counfy has six, Washington county live and Union county three.

Ihe records of marriage licenses in the various counties do not show a material increase. During the yearending June ,'30. 181)5, there were 22,507 marriages in the State, not including Cass county. In Marion county 1,770 licenses were granted. Ohio county issues about fifty-three licenses and Benton county granted fifty-seven. These reports show that divorces were granted from the following causes: Adultery. °31 abandonment, 741 cruel treatment, G1M drunkenness, 222 failure to provide, 374 criminal conviction, 47.

Will Take a Vacation. Elder E. T. Lane is much better today than he was Saturday evening. But he is still quite sick and it is probable that when ho does get up he will have to take an extended rest. He is a man who puts ail his energy in hie work and for the last two years he has been working very hard, which probably accounts for his present condition. It was rumored yesterday that he had already sent in his resignation as pastor and would rest for a year. This Boems not exactly to be the case. His congregation thinks there is no other Buch a minister as Rev. Lane and will be slow to part with him. If he needs' a vacation, which he doubtless will, the church will probably grant him as long a leave of absence as he deBires but not until forced to would they let him go permanently. At present his congregation and friends think and only wish for his recovery.—Lebanon Paper.

Francis A. Coffin, ex-president of tho Indianapolis cabinet works, twice convicted of misapplying tho funds ot the Indianapolis National bank through bis business dealings with ex-PreBident Haughey, was arraigned and sentenced to imprisonment for eight years Saturday forenoon by Judge Baker of the federal court. In the afternoon an application for a writ of supercedeas was laid before Judge Woods of the circuit court and it was granted. It was admitted by the government that the grounds on which an appeal would be based were debatable and were made in ^ood faith, and Judge Woods thereupon ordered Coffin's release on $10,000 bond until a final determination was had in the supreme court.

The western portion of Greencastlo i& considerably stirred up over an elopement that occurred there thiB week. Peter Cooper, a tinner, was in the habit of getting hiB washing done at tho house of Charles Kest, rson and became a frequent visitor at that place. ThiB displeased Kesterson, who informed Cooper Monday "that he would get no more washing done at his house."

Tuesday tho fireside of Kesterson was partly vacated. Potor Cooper and Mrs. Kesterson aro both absent from tho city and their going was so quiet that no one seems to have any knowledge of their whereabouts.
