SPICE.
A Divorce Suit In Which tlio Plaintiff's Surname Is Indicative of Iler Married Life,
A divorce case which lias been attracting great attention in Hendricks county has been venued here for trial and will be bitterly contested.
The suit is brought by Mrs. Spice Barber against John W. Barber, one of the substantial old roosters of the county famous as the seat of the reform school and the Indiana branch of the Keeley cure. When Mrs. Barber's parents named her they must have had a premonition concerning her matrimonial career which has been nothing if not spicy.
Barber and wife have been married for a quarter of a century and have four children, the youngest of whom is fourteen years old.
Mrs. Barber's complaint alleges cruel and inhuman treatment, which she alleges Barber has practiced for years. She states that he has often threatened to kill her and that he has frequently assaulted her. On several occasions she was obliged to flee to the neighbors for protection. She wants 82,000 alimony herself and S2,000 for each one of the children. A large number of witnesses will attend the trial which has not vet been set down.
IS A CISTERN.
Mrs. Timmons, of High Street, Dives After the Infant of Her Sister.
There was wild excitement for a season on High street last Thursday and the storm center was the residence of Timmons the butcher. The sister of Mrs. Timmons is visiting there and last week her infant child while investigating the sanitary condition of the back yard stuck his head in an open cistern and then fell in. The accident was fortunately witnessed by the family and the, distracted mother fairly went wild. Mrs. Timmons, however, made a rush for the cistern and jumped in. She managed to seize the drowning child and was soon hauled out herself by Hugh Wilson, Wm. Manna and the neighbors, who were attracted by the cries of the frantic mother. The child was rolled and rubbed until relieved of the water it had swallowed and to-day is as sound as a dollar. Had not the fall been seen, however, it would have drowned unaided.
Senator Cranor's Opinion.
Senator Cranor, of Muncie, was in the cit3* last week on business with Sheriff Davis. Mr. Cranor was one of the leading members of the late Legislature, and celebrated particularly as the author of a fee bill that was knocked out in the interest of the present fee and salary law. "You will see that fee bill or one very much like it enacted into law one of these days simply because it is right, and because it is better for all parties than the fee and salary law." Senator Cranor also remarked that he did not aspire for further honors in the Senate except to be its presiding officer, which evidently means that he intends to be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor before the next Republican State convention.

DEC01UTI05 DAY AT DARLINGTON. AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED.
\n KxcHlont Programme Carried OutAddrefc* by Hev, W. II. Hickman.
The exercises begun at Darlington on Sunday morning when 11. C. Kise Post met in their hall and marched in a body to the East Christian church, where seats had been reserved for them. A special choir had been chosen and the church was most beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreen, the stars and stripes being also in profusion all about the church. The Post had been invited there for services by the pastor, Rev. Egolf. After singing by the choir and prayer by Rev. Black, of the Presbyterian church, the pastor gave a most beautiful and impressive lecture 011 why we should decorate and the causes calling for decoration, and said he hoped the custom would be taken up by the young and kept up long after the old soldier was no more. He closed by admonishing all old soldiers not already enlisted in the army of the Lord to at once enlist and be prepared for the change that soon awaits them.
For days, yea weeks, kind friends have been at work in the cemetery, cleaning and arranging the resting places not onljr of soldiers but friends also, so that when the morning of the 20th arrived all things were ready. Early in the morning the different committees went to the country and decorated the graves of their comrades. Then returning the column was formed at 1 o'clock read\T to march to the 1. O. O. F. cemetery where, as has been their custom, the Post decorated the graves of twenty-one Union soldiers and one Confederate. Then the column reformed and marched to the driving park, where the stand had been most beautifully decorated and and the following programme was carried out: Music by the baud, then song, "America," by the the assemblage prayer by Rev. Walter song by choir: roll of honor by the adjutant, after which twenty girls each recited a verse appropriate to the occasion song by quartette: recitations by Ethel lviinler and Ola Coltraiu: songbjT choir address by Rev. W. LI. Hickman, of Terre Haute song by choir x-ecitation by
Daisy Curry entitled "Starting to the War" then Miss Hurt, of New Ross, recited "A Distant Relative of Moke Smith,-' much to the amusement of the old boys then came the benediction by Rev. Egolf, and the march back to town. The crowd was the largest ever present, the address fine, the singing was good and the order was good, so that all enjoyed the day. The cemetery was a veritable flower bed. Thus wa^ another "Memorial Day passed in Darlington, and we trust it may be ever thus and "Let us rejoice that they died not in vain.

Look Out for Swindles.
The Indiana Department, G. A. R., last Friday received and promulgated the following notice from Thomas GLawler, of Illinois, the -Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R.: "Numerous inquiries reach these headquarters concerning various land enterprises and soldier colonizations in different parts of the South. The Com-mander-in-Chief, knowing very little of them, has refrained from commenting upon their merits or demerits, but from various communications we have received lately at these headquarters concerning these enterprises the Com-mander-in-Chief feels that it is his duty to warn all comradesocontemplating joining with any of them to make a thorough and satisfactory investigation of their merits before investing."
Three Bushels I'er Acre
James A. Mount, who makes weekly reports to the Department of Agriculture of the crop condition in this county, last week reported that f0 per cent, of the acreage of wheat had been plowed under and-planted in corn or turned over to pasture, and that the remaining 50 per cent, would make an average yield of three bushels per acre. Estimating that Montgomery county had 00,000 acres planted this would leave :$0,000 acres, which from his point of view would mean a crop of 00,000 bush'els. Last year the wheat crop of this county was estimated at 1,200,000 bushels.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Sunsherry Keturu to Crawfordsville and .Surprise .Their Friends.
A few weeks ago when Miss Maude Mahorney left ostensibly for a visit in Louisville no one outside her immediate family knew that she was going to Louisville to become the bride of Charles T. Sansberry, of Anderson, to whom she had been engaged for some time. Mr. Sansberry had been a student at Wabash for two years and mixed classics with romance, becoming the fiance of Miss Mahorney, one of Crawfordsville's sweetest and prettiest young ladies. Last winter Mr. Sansberry withdrew from college on account of trouble with his eyes and went South. It was quietly arranged, however, that the marriage, should occur this spring. Accordingly Miss Mahorney went to Louisville and 011 Easter Sunday they were quietly married there, taking an extensive wedding trip through the South. They returned to Indianapolis for the May festival and then went to Anderson where they remained with Mr. Sansberry's parents until last Friday when they arrived here on a visit and at once announced their union to their surprised friends. Mr. and Mrs. Sansberry will return to Anderson next week and leave shortly for Pine Lake, Mich., where they will spend the summer in the groom's cottage. Next fall they will go to New York where Mr. Sansberry will enter the Columbia law school. The wedding has been the happy consummation of a college courtship and has united the fortunes of two popular young people who are in every respect suited to each other.
THE JOUHNAI, extends congratulations.

The Successor or Prof. Cliamlicrlin Will l5e Dr. William O. F.m«»ry, Who Cornea lHrect from
Germany,
-A!
Dr. W. E. Chamberlin, who during the past year has occupied the chair of chemistry in Wabash College, has accepted a government position in the Department of Agriculture at Washington and will close his work at Wabash with the end of the present term1 Announcement is made that Dr. William O. Emery has been appointed Peck Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy.
William (). Emery was born March 29, ISOII,
in Vernon, Vt. His father,
Ira Emery, was born in North Berwick, Me. «his mother, Emma Stearns, in Grafton, Vt. llis primary education was received in Hinsdale. N. H. his middle, grammar and high school training in Manchester, N. II. He graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass., in 1885, taking high honors. He then took a graduate year in chemistry in the same, institution. In 1880 he went abroad and took his degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Erlangen in less than two years. In 1887 he was appointed, in competition with a number of German applicants, assistant in the Chemical Institute of the University of 'Bonn, which position he held until the close of 1892. In this position he was associated with Professors Anschutz and Kekule. Me had entire supervision of all medical students in both lectures and laboratory work. In January, 18d2, Dr. Emery became l'rivatdocent in the University of Bonn, which position be still occupies, being now on leave of absence in this country.
Dr. Emery is married and has one child. He is a member of the Central Congregational church, of Worcester, Mass., with which he united while in Worcester Polytechnic institute. During his residence abroad, he accomplished a number of difficult pieces of work in original chemical research, especially one of marked importance, "On the action of phosphorous trichloride on phenote and salicylic acid.' He assisted Prof. Kekule extensively in a difficult research on the constitution of pyridine, and also Prof. Anschutz in the preparation of a volume on "Distillation tinder diminished pressure in the laboratory," a large portion ol the contents of which was prepared by. Dr. Emery, his assistance being acknowledged in the preface. Prof. Anschutz speaks of Dr. Emery as an exceptionally gifted associate, most successful as an investigator and academic teacher, whose convincing manner of representation and perfect command of material made his lectures eagerly sought after." Dr. Kekule speaks of Dr. Emery's "unusual ability for teaching, his wonderful skill in the execution of chemical operations and his remarkable inventive faculties." Prof, llemsen, of Johns-Hopkins, characterizes Dr. Emery "an exceptionally able man, scientifically, with a large amount of experience." Prof. Fuller, late of Worcester Polytechnic, testifies, "It is rarely that a man is so well equipped for work. Dr. Emery has had better training for a chair in chemistry than any man in this country, save possibly two or three."
Unintentional Omissions.
The name of Dr. Moses C. Drake, late assistant surgeon 15th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry, who is buried at Masonic cemetery, was inadvertantly omitted from the published list of the dead whose graves were decorated by McPherson Post, G. A. R.,on Memorial Day. We learn that other names were omitted also. The Post is not to blame for this. A roll of all comrades of the Post is kept carefully, but there is no roll or list of those who did not hold membership in the Post, hence these omissions. The relatives of deceased soldiers who are burie 1 in the cemeteries about the city should see to it that their names are sent to the Adjutant of McPherson Post that they may be entered on the list of the dead that is published by the Post each vear.
The Chicago College of Law.
