The compliment was due hei for herself, a worthy, charming iaay, who will do every part of her important work, precisely as it should be done. In her appointment every person who knows her feels the choice a wise one, and rejoice with her for the honor thus imposed. A microscopic hunt in every city and hamlet of Indiana would have failed to produce a more clever or capable man for assistant secretary of state than Herman L. Center, whose selection for that high office was formally announced today by Mr. Ellingham. Mr. Conter has all the qualifications and is worthy of the honor thus conferred. He has always made good and his happy smile, his competency, his strict attention to business and his all-around fitness for the place to which he has been named, will soon win for him friends at the capitol and over the state proportionate to those he has here. He assumes the place with the best wishes of every one here and the knowledge that he will dispose of the trusts imposed upon him in a manner that will bring credit to himself, his higher officials, his state and his home county.

FIGHT FOR ESTATE Will Begin in Court Here Monlay-The Suit Comes From Huntington. OF MUCH INTEREST Depositions Taken For Use in the Trial of the Important Case. Monday morning in the Adams county court at Decatur the Roche w’ill case will come up for hearing. An effort will be made by certain Omaha heirs to break the will but it’is not thought that they will be successful for those who knew John Roche, who donated the money and site for St. Mary’s church ana senool know that his sister, Miss Bridget Roche, only carried out his wishes in making her will as she did. Any one who knew the late Miss Bridget Roche knew that she was a lady of good, sound judgment and strong mind, although of a naturally retiring disposition. The deposition of Pat Gorman, executor of Miss Roche’s will, as well as Mrs. Mary Fame,, Mrs. Thomas, Miss Anna King and others who were beneficiaries of Miss Roche's will, and who made their homes with her for years was taken Wednesday to be used in the suit.—Huntington News-Democrat. - -a -— NOTICE.
