LROLA'S WICKF:D WINK

Is Too Much for Her Aged Husband,

Who Now Seeks Legal Sep

aration.

I" the Circuit Court this wwk Chas. Edw«rds. through his attorneys Clodfelter & tine, tiled an application for a divorce from hie wife, Leola. The complaint is a voluminous document and cot tains sufficient allegations, if true, to secure a divorce for the Sultan of Tui key from all the wives in hie harem. Edwards is a man on the shady side of life and has a family of grown children in Ripley township. Mrs. Edwards' maiden name was Null, a maiden of some 27 summers, who hailed from the classic preciDcts of the north end. The Complair sets forth that the pair were married on Xov. 2, 1807 that the plaintiff, through the mwchinations of the bride, was enticed to the wicked city of Chicago on a wedding tour that while on the train he was much chagrined at the defendant who persisted in flu ting nodding and winking at a strange gentleman who occupied a room adjoining the car that finally the bride deliberately ent red said room and shut the door. After waiting a few moments and she did not return he opened the door and found the two sitting close together. For this intrusion the defendant upbraided him with vile curses. On reaching Chicago the plaintiff war ted to hire a cab and be driven to a tirst-cla a hotel. After going a couple of blocks the defendant complained of a pain in the stomach and asaed plaintiff to stop the cab at a drug store and secure her some medicine. This he did but on returning found both cab and bride gone. Soon after he found the cao driver and succeeded in tracing his wife to a cheap hotel, where he found her in a secluded room. Here she threatened to asf-auit him for following her. It was only with the sweetest sort ol persuasion he induced her to go with him to find better quarters, she saying she "didn't care a where he took her." After going a few blocks she asked him to wait on the side walk wbfile she went into a store for something or other and that was the last he

B,IW of her. He relumed to Urawfordsvilie and in a few days the missing bride also returned and asked to be forgiven. He took her chestnut head upon his chestnut breast, she whispered "goo goo" in his ear ana' the whitewinged dove of peace resumed its perch in the household. But this sweet peace was of but short duiation. The brid3 soon tired of her ageu husband, and according to the complaint she certainly leu him a merry chase. He alleges that she would leave his home for weeks at a timi' that she associated with prostitutes that she would assault him without provocation and was guilty of other acts of viciousness too numerous to mention. If the plaintiff can prove one-third of the allegations in his com plaint he will Hod no trouble in securing the coveted document from Judge

West.

Thieves at The Star Shoe Store. Wednesday night the Star shoe store was entered by burglars and several pairs of shoes were lugged away.

THE WAR

BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES

AND SPAIN IS NOW UNDER

WAY.

No Decisive Naval Engagements Yet Reported. The war between this country and Sp.-iin was inaugurated the latter part of last week, although no formal declaration of it by tho administration was made until Monday. On that day the following bill was reported by the foreign affairs committee, and passed in one minute and forty-one seconds by the House:

A bill declaring that war exists between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain.

Be it enacted, etc.: 1. That war be, and the same is hereby declared to exist and that war has existed since the ^let Jay of April A. D., 1898, including Raid day, between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain. 2. That the president of tho United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and *o call into the actual service of the

eeveral States, to such an oxtent as may be necessary to carry this act into effectIn accordance with the orders of the Secretary of War to the various States and territories of the government in which a call for 125,000 men are wanted to

Berve

during a period of two years,

Gov. Mount immediately called for a response at once from the militia of Indiana. The demand is for 4200 men. By Tuesday midnight the entire quoto had been filled and the men in camp from all over the State at the State Fair Ground, four miles north of Washington street, Indianapolis. Arms and equipments have already teen furnished them and they will be ready to march to the front within a few hours notice.

NOTICE TO ALL THE POWERS.

WASHINGTON, April 26.—The State Department has conveyed notice to all of the Powers and nations with which theUnited States hold friendlj' relntions of the declaration of war yesterday by the government of the United States ihis is a necessary form to set in motion the neutrality law. The instructions which were sent to all the United States legations abroad directed attention to the fact that war baB existed since April 21,when the Spanish government broke off diplomatic relations in order to avoid accepting the ultimatum at the hands of Minister Woodford, follow: •'Department of State, April 25,1898, "A joint resolution of Congress, ap proved April 20, directed intervention for the pacification and independence of the island of Cuba. Ihe Spanish gov ernment on April 21 informed our min ister at Madrid that it considered thiB resolution equivalent to declaration of war and that it had accordingly with drawn its minister from Washington and terminated all diplomatic relntiona

Congress has therefore, by act approved to-day, declared that a state of war exists between the two countries since and including April 21. You will inform the government to which you are accredited^ that its neutrality may be assured in the existing war. (Signed) SHERMAN."

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25—It is learned that Lieutenant Fremont last night landed at Mantanzas a company of marines and dispatched a messenger to Gomez with instructions when to (ex pect a landing of United States troops at MantanzaB.

The message was signed byGec.MileB It is said Gomez hao notified the war department that he can raise 75,000 good fighters if the United States will provide the arms.

Although r.o skirmish has as yet taken place worthy of the name, nor any blood y-t shed, it cannot long be delayed. A contest between the Meets of the United States and those of Spain may be expected soon, within 24 hours may be, which will occur quite likely in the ocean in the neighborhood of Havana or io the vicinity of the t'hillipine Islands. During the past week some seven or eight Spanish merchant vessels, some of the value with the cargo of between |200,0C0 and 9300,000, have been captured ahd taken into the nearest ports.

Without blowing it to the world Hon, W. J. Bryan has offered to enlist as a soldier ae can be seen from the following below:

WICHITA, Kan., April 26.—Colooel H. Boler says he has received a letter from William J. Bryan, in which the silver advocate expressed a willingness to join the volunteer army as a private.

Mr. Bryan said be was fearful, how$*er, thftt bia action jroald be miscon-

to be

y«n jesterday asking counsel

upon the question of offering himself as a private soldier. Colonel Bnui- has not decided what his advice will be. but it is probable that he will advice Mr. Bryan to enlist.

Bryan eaye he will not seefci a major general, but will offer

Mr.

to serve in the ranks.

Wallace and Travis.

The State Sentinel in its Wednesday's issue thus makes the following raspish remarks regarding Wallace and Travis, of this cit, in reply to some dirty parttzen illusions toward Hon. W, G. Bryan:

On yesterday the Journal was joined by one C. M. Travis, of Crawfordsville, vho assails Mr. Br$an because that gentleman has not volunteered, and calling upon him to] show his loyalty as Gen. Wallace has by issuing a grandiloqueut card to ^the (galleries "tendering his services." "Inere is now no occasior* for "tendering services,' Ihe president and governor have called for volunteers. Nobody is holding Gen. Wallace, nor for that matter Mr. C. M. Travis, whoever he may be. Before Travis and Wallace call on Mr. Bryan to volunteer it would be in better taste if they would turn their laces toward tho enemy and respond to the president's call. Nothing is accomplished by writing cards "tendering services." The way to volunteer is to step forward and sign the roll and take the oath. If every volunteer were to atop to write a card "tendering his service?" the work of raising^ an army would be unreasonably delayed.

Don't worry about Mr. Bryan, gentlerr.en. He is an American through and through, his everv sentence and word has breathed the spirit or patriotism. He will be true to his country in every: emergency. If he should volunteer he would be a splendid soldier. It is Bafe to say that it would not take him seven hours to travel six miles at Shiloh or elsewhere, and that when the war was over he would never falsely slander the memory of his dead comrades.

Governor Mount Agrees to Allow the Soldiers to Go Home for a Day. It is rumored that compao) will return home to Crawfordsville on next Tuesday BO that the members can cast their votes at the city election. It is said this arrangement has been made with Governor Mount through Capt Will May, who spent Sunday here. It is though that this being the care other towns in the state will try and arrange to have tl eir companies return on Tuesday for a simular purpose.—State Sentinel.

Bold Burglars.

Burglars have been getting in their work here this week. Monday night they visited the stores of ZackMahorney & Sons and Tannenbaum Bros. At the former place they secured some kniveB and revolvers while at the latter place they pilfered several suits of clotheB and underwear. Tuesday night they visited Iioulehan & Quillen and helped them selves to revolvers and cutlery. It ie thought to be the work of home talents.
