They have struck the interurban craze there, and are building several lines which will do much in the development of that country. Everything is booming in away, although the extreme dry weather is going to cut the corn crop below the middle, and consequently make the farmers hard up for the next year or so, but with all this that country will continue to prosper and flourish for the next several years, and that means that the people that are in the swim now will make plenty of money. He likes the country and will settle there for the present at least. o NOTICE OF BIDS.

WERE .‘ARRESTED Charles Grim and Mrs. Ella Louthan Are in Trouble WERE ALONG TRACK And Were Arrested upon the Charge of Adultery Charles Crim and Mrs. Ella Louthan were arrested last evening by Detective Ellis and a Decatur officer near the Erie tank upon the charge of living in adultery and the two were released upon their promise to appear in the court of Mayor France last evening at seven o’clock for trial. !At the stated time Attorney D. E. Smith appeared for the defendants and upon motion the trial was postponed until Friday afternoon at one o’clock. Detective Ellis and the officer were walking near the tank in search of hoboes when they saw the couple walking down the track together. They followed and after ascertaining sufficient evidence to warrant the arrest the two were taken into custody. The woman is the wife of Howard Louthan. Some months ago she petitioned the Adams circuit court for a divorce from her husband, but in this she was defeated and since then she has not lived with her husband. The woman is the mother of four children, who have been placed in good homes. It is likely the case will be vigorously prosecuted. o MADE THEIR FIRST VOW ♦ Celebrated the Feast of Assumption at Terre Haute.

He said: "I left New York two days after President Taft signed the new tariff bill and have formed no special opinion regarding it. On
