Link-1 ed in loyal life they were joined forever in a noble death. If Isidor Straus was a great merchant, a great phiian thropist, a < lear-headed economist and a noble citizen, Ida Straus was a great woman, a ; so a great philanthropist, a noble mother, a loyal loving . wife. If Isador Straus was the patriarch I and honored head of a great family. Ida Straus was the seren and indispensable mistress of an honored home. If Isidor Straus was a civic and com- 1 mercial power, Ida Straus was a social 1 and domestic force. * If Isidor Straus, after a life of honor- = able living, died a hero's death, so Ida ' Straus, after forty years of loyal lov - • ing, found of her own choice a hero- ‘ ine's end. The beautiful examples of noble liv-J ing and of nob'er dying meet in these 1 remembered limes In an age of material absorption they have given a new and gentler illustration of the fidelity and tenderness of love. In an age of domestic disloyalty and , divorce they have wreathed a fadeless beauty around the deathless tie of marriage. In life tiny. were united. In death they refused to be divided. As the war! i was better for their ' united living so it shall be better for their loyal and undivided death. — Chicago Examiner. The citizens of this community will uphold Marshal Peterson and the police in their efforts to curb the fighting spirit of these men who after they have taken a few drinks feel that they have been commissioned to clean out the town. Those who witnessed the affair Friday evening, say that the marshal, if he erred, did so by’ taking too much abuse. However, n cool I head is better than a hot one. and when the marshal did let go, he did it in a most emphatic manner. His victims will probably not dispute the fact that he is able to take care of himself. It is likely that during the summer several thousand men will be employed in and near this city. Among

t them or course will be men of every grade and character. The greater number of them are as good citizens as will be found anywnere, but a few of them may at times cause trouble. The only way to handle them is for the officers to let them know that they are in charge and that they will keep order. Otherwise a reign of disorder is assured. No man should serve on the police force who shows a streak of cowardice. If you haven't been seen bj the school enumerator, be sure to give the names of your children of school age to some member of the school board, O. L. Vance F. V. Mills r Irvin Brandyberry. The enumeration must be completed by May Ist, so you must report at once, if you have been overlooked. It is important that you do this because the amount of money returned from the state for scnool purposes, depends on the number of children, so that each counts. He sure to ! remember, if you have been overlooked, or know of any family who has, be sure to report at once. The supreme court has declared Kokomo to be dry under the election held there, a year ago, and the decision means that the twenty saloons which have been in operation there for months have been violating the law every time they sold a drink. It is also claimed that the decision makes .Marion “dry.” In each place the “drys” won, but the majorities were small and the ' wets' succeeded in getting licenses. The supremecourt holds that the courts cannot go back of the election returns. That date for the first registration is May 9th. Os course you won't forget it. There is a general sentiment that everyone should register and you should make it your business to see that Adams county does her share to- ■ ward upholding this law. If you don t register you can t vote. It's a simple ease of protecting your own ballot, and you will do it if you realize, even to a very small extent how much it is to your own interest, to be able to . vote this year. A. J.
