Hoffman, of this city, democratic chairman of the Twelfth congressional district is entirely misleading. Mr. Hoffman's relation to the next campaign in this district beyond question will be as the candidate of his party for congress. The brilliant young lawyer and orator fills the bill to the last nicety. He is not only such a man as the party can elect in splendid triumph, but would make such a congressman as not only his own party but the entire citizenship of the district would be proud to own as represenative in the national congress.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. Philadelphia has long been “corrupt

and contented.” Indianpolis is developing gangs of looters, who, if not checked, will make that city a rival of Philadelphia. The street patching rottenness that is now being uncovered there shows how recklessly the thieves have worked to get the people’s money, but no one believes that this is all. On the contrary it is the prevailing opinion that there is yet an immense amount of fraud to be brought to light. J. Pierpont Morgan and John D. Rockefeller were acclaimed as the "saviors of Wall street.” There is still some doubt as to whether Wall street was saved and there is greater doubt as to whether it was worth saving. but there seems to be no doubt at all that Morgan and Rockefeller and their “pool” were given $25,000,000 of the public money and that they loaned it to Wall street speculators at a big rate of interest. Attorney Cottrell, of Berne, was

a caller in our city today, and returned to his home this afternoon. The jury in the damage suit of J. H. Gilbert, vs. the Clover Leaf railroad. returned a verdict which granted him a judgment against the road for $350. The jury also instructed the plaintiff to pay the freight statement of the road for shipping the machine, which will amount to $344 which will leave him a judgment of $5.16. His attorneys have asked for a new trial. The case was tried at Charleston. — Frankfort Crescent.

Annetta Miller, all the rest of his property, including about 160 acres of land in Union township and the home on Winchester street. He bequeathed SI,OOO to his daughter, Mary A. Miller. After the death of his wife, the property is to be divided between his daughter, Mary and his grandson, Eugene Clem, share and share alike. Mrs. Miller is named as executrix. The will was written July 22nd last and witnessed by E. Burt Lenhart and Mae Berling.

The jury in the case of Joseph Murphy vs. Fox and Sprunger in which $1,375 damages was demanded for the loss of a barn destroyed by fire, returned a verdict early this morning which was read in open court at nine o’clock this moning, which read as follows: “We, the jury, find for the defendant. Joshua R. Parrish, foreman.” Marriage licenses have been issued to Maynard A. Frisinger, aged twen-ty-three, and Alma E. Dailey, aged twenty; and to Bruce C. Christen, aged twenty-five, and Alice Jackson, aged twenty-one. This was divorce day and the circuit court and it was as busy a session as has been put in for some time. In the case of Catherine Erhart vs. Henry Erhart. the defendant failed to appear and the prosecuting attorney filed an answer. A part of the evidence was heard. Mary Rice vs. Clement J. B. Rice was tried this morning, the evidence being of a rather spicy nature. Mrs. Rice asks for $350 alimony, but the real contention seemed to be over the possession of the six year old girl. Mrs. Rice made quite a display of tears when evidence was being offered that she was not a fit person to care for her own child. Evidence was heard in the case of Charles J. H. Hower vs. Dora J. Hower, the latter also objecting to giving up ner children and asking for the de-

Smith, as commissioner in the cause of Hartman vs. Hoffman, at two o'clock this afternoon sold the old Hoffman farm of about eighty-five acres, located in French township, to one of the Hoffman heirs, the price being S6B per acre. o__ —- THE CLUB LADIES (Continued from page 1.) prove a maximum grade of efficiency, and a diminishing scale of salaries comensurate with inferior quality of teaching, personal and educational qualifications to be taken into account, in addition to ability to pass the pre scribed examination. (2) Increased efficiency in the primary and intermediate grades of rural, town and city schools by always employing teachers. of recognized strength of character and ability. (3) Adoption of a state system of insurance for pensions to worthy members. (4) Co-operation with the state superintendent of public instruction and the general federation of women s clubs and internatioal committee on moral training to introduce a system of moral training in the schools of his state, county and the world. “We, therefore, move that the above recommendations be adopted and that the educational committee be authorized to invite the superintnedent of instruction, clergymen from protestant and Roman Catholic churches, rabbis of Hebrew congregations and others to confer upon this important topic.” Following the adoption of the resolutions several topics were discussed. Miss Bertha Crossley Ball led in the discussion of “Increase of Teachers’ Salaries.” Mrs. Clark Binford talked to the convention of "Reverence of God,” saying that women should teach their children what this subject means. "Reverence of God should be taught more genrally in the public schools and in the home,” she said. Mrs. Rose M. Clark, of the Winona school for girls, was leader in a discussion of "Love of Neighbor,” and in her remarks she urged that women drop selfishness and get interested in humanity and especially in the welfare of the children about them.

What was suposed to be a surprise party on Mrs. Henry Shulte, terminated into a formal affair last night, when the hostess invited the members of the afternoon club to spend the evening f/fter hey had planned to rush in and completely surprise her. How she found out that the club members had planned the surprise, has not been ascertained, and, possibly never will, but nevertheless, the event was most delightful. After gathering at the beautiful new home of Mrs. Schulte, which has just recently been completed, the ladies engaged in a series of games of pedro, in which prizes were won by Mesdames C. V. Connell, C. S. Niblick and J. H. Bremerkamp, the booby being awarded to Mrs. U.
