The i-1 j , young men who will make tne trip expect to advertise for some large whole i ? I sale firm and thus receive a bonus sufficiently to defray'nil their expenses as they will be subject to during ’ their time of travel. They will not I walk against time, and it is their ex | pectation that they complete the jour , ney in five months, or arrive there ’ dt.irng the month of September. 'The j boys are confident that they will make i i the trip and expect to receive a num ■ . I ber of letters of information as to their manner of advertising. The boys are out for the trip and will make stops at all places, leaving know! i edge of their passing through such and such a town and scattering the advertisements which they will carry with them. They will follow the southern Pacific route and unless something unforeseen turns up the trip is sure I to be made by the anticipators.

Sheriff Durkin and Policeman Mel I chi returned Tuesdav night from b j Michigan City, having consigned Gert ; Reynolds to the state's prison for the ; serving of his sentence. He had net ' yet been assigned to duty and it is not 1 known just what department be will j be given work in. The party left here I Tuesday morning at 1:26 and arrived ; in Michigan City at 11 o'clock yeste’day morning. Sheriff Durkin, while there, met Lester Cook, the showman, who was sent up last September from this county upon conviction for assault and battery, with attempt to . commit sodomy on Floyd Monday. : , Cook seems to be in poor health and I weighs at least forty pounds less than I when he left here. /He spoke very i highly of the kindness of the managers there. NO PICKININNY PUPILS. Regarding the entering of negro i pupils in the city public schools. Pro- j i fessor E. E. Rice, city school superintendent, stated that none had reported yet for entry. As several negro families have come into the city tn j engage in work on the beet suxar ! plant, it is quite likely that the chil dren will have to be. given place in the schools. As the city, in its en tire history, has had very lew negro inhabitants, and never more than one j or two negro students, it will be quite a novel thing for manv to be entered here. It is not known just how the colored students will enjoy association with the ' white trash." Some of the children, it. is said, will I enter the St. Joseph parochial schools i after Easter.

THIRTEEN A HOODOO For George Dillon? —It “Figured” Prominently in Llf>. George W. Dillon, the Mongo farmer, convicted recently by a Lagrange : county jury for the murder of his wife, a former Monroeville woman, ‘ was taken this week to Michigan City ro enter upon his sentence for manslaughter. His trial is said to have cost Lagrange county taxpayers just $3.57 less than SI,OOO. If he is at all incline i to be superstitious he has . sufficient reasoh to believe the "hoo duo 13” has had something to do with ■ his misfortune. Mr. Dillon met his wife for whose alleged murder he was tried and convicted, November 13, 1910. He took her to his home on March 13, of the following year and had sold his farm on the 13th day of the previous month. His trial was first set for February 13th of this year and when the jury was finally empan tiled and readv to be sworn it was discovered that thirteen men had been selected instead of twelve. This was discovered when thirteen men essayed to occupy twelve chairs. The jury '.eporied the verdict thirteen minutes until 5 o’clock and the attorneys for the defendant filed their motion for a new trial thirteen minutes before 11 o'clock. The defendant employed counsel on the thirteenth of the month. Judge Erwin, who assisted in the defense of Dillon, asserted that he is not superstitious, but there have been enough “thirteens" in the experience of Dillon to convince most any one if there is anything to this "sign " proposition NEW BARBER SHOP. Clem Knoff has leased the barber shop in the Reiter & France pool room, formerly operated by Frank ' Carroll, and will serve the customers in this place, beginning with thi- ' morning. He has published -a nev ' scale of prices, in which a hair-cut is promised for fifteen cents and will probably gain Amsiderahle business ! by these popular prices. GAME WITH PAYNE.
