"East Lynne” the most popular and emotional of the “heart interest” class of plays, dear as ever, after almost 25 years of service to the “Matinee Girl” who goeth to weep, comes to Bosse’s opera house on Tuesday, Nov. 19, in a sumptuous revival, managed by Frank Burt who presents Miss Inez Forman and J. F. Crosby, Jr., as stars. The piece is said to be and is sumptuously staged and necessitates a car load of settings. The company is exceedingly strong and well balanced. The stars, of course, appear as Lady Isabel and Archibald Carisle, The L’. S. Civil Service Commission will hold examinations at several places in the state during March and April, to secure young men and women for the government service. 9,889 persons secured positions last year through these examinations. Probably 10,000 appointments will be made this year. All appointments are for lile and for most appointments only a common school education is required. Salaries at appointment vary from •$660 to $1,200 a year with liberal pro motions afterwards. This affords a good oppotunity for people between 16 and 45 years of age. Harry Meyers of Columbia City was in this office Thursday morning looking for exchanges from his home village. He announced to us that he bore the distinction of having two weeks prior to that time eloped with a married lady whose husband was serving time in Columbia City jail for stealing chickens. At Muncie the young man’s lady have secured a job in a hotel and deserted him and with bioken heart strings he was wending his lonely way back to his home. The young man seemed terribly wrought up and weeping copiously as lie told of his part in the “awful" affair. The jury in the Charles Dunn case returned a verdict at 2:15 Thursday afternooon, findiug the defendant guilty and fixing his punishment at imprisonment for life. On the first ballot the vote stood nine to three for conviction and one of these was only finding out how the others stood, so he explained after. On the first ballot for punishment seven jurymen were in favor of hanging, but they finally compromised on life imprisonment. On Saturday morning the defendant's attorneys filed a motion on written reasons for a new trial, but same will not be argued until the next term of court. Berne is making a great effort to secure a line of the Cincinnati, Dayton & Fort Wayne traction railway. This line will run from Celina to Bluffton through Berne and Berne wants it badly. A meeting was held Tuesday night to ascertain the feelings of the citizens and all agreed to go after the road. Sam Simisou was chairman of the meeting and Fred Rohrer secretary and everyone displayed enthusiasm in large quantities. Managers of the road ask for a depot site and that they assist in securing right of ways. Committees were appointed and another meeting will be held next Tuesday evening when President Samuel George is expected to lie present to hear the various reports. In view of the fact that the divorce industry is thriving to an alarminng extent, plans are being adopted over the country to put a stop to it as much as possible. In three-fourths of the cases filed defendant fails to appear and contest them, and the courts are arranging to break up this practice. The defendant must either appear in court or be fined. By this method there will be more defense and it can thus be determined as to whether theie is collusion between busband and wife in securing a divorce. This rule is a part of the new procedure in divorce cases that has resulted from the law providing a $5 prosecutor’s fee in unI contested cases. The fee is to com- ■ pensate the prosecutor’s deputy for getting the facts in the ease and to prevent divorces “by agreement.” Many times the defendants do not wish’to fight the eases, but they have to tell the court their story just -the same.

“East Lynne.” Strong because it I has “heart interest” in dramas, do- ! mestic. pastoral or otherwise, "East i Lynne” which comes to Bosse’s opera house on Tuesday, Nov. 19, has now ranked for thirty years as the leading emotional play on the American stage. Its simple story of an erring woman, who was more sinned against than sinning, has brought tears to the eyes of thousands upon thousands who never witness it without seeing new beauties and inspirations to weep in silence or otherwise. This play comes in the shape of an elaborate revival under the able direction of Frank Burt, who presents a strong and even ly balanced company headed by .Miss Inez Forman and J. F. Crosby. Jr., both well known and popular stars called from flattering successes of last season to appear in this grand old play. Miss Forman as Lady Isaliel and Mr. Crosby as Archibald Carlisle will have the support of a large, well balanced and talented cast. The re production is a sumptuous one, carrying a car load of new and special scenery.

After thirty-five years of harmonious married life, during which time they have seen all the ups and downs usu ally aceompaning such a period, Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Grandstaff, last Monday evening celebrated that anniversary in splendid style at their Monmouth home. Their neighbors and friends were invited in for supper and such a feast they had not participated in for several centuries. Doe. and his wife are admirable entertainers and from reports here, whoever did the cooking must be all right too. Mr. and Mrs. Grandstaff were married at Monroeville in |s66 and claim to have been married longer than anyone in the county for their ages. The affair will long be remembered by everyone concerned.

Beatty, represent ing Miss Kate Touhey ot this city, for damages received in a wreck near Ridgeville some time ago. The sum paid is S6OO, and Miss Touhey will make no further effort towards a trial to secure damages. W hile on her way from Winchester to this city June 29 last, the train which Miss Touhey was riding was crashed into by a train on the Pan Hamlie at the Ridgeville crossing and the lady had three ribs broken. The accident was dearly due to carelessness and Mr. Beatty had no trouble in showing the rail way attorneys that the cheapest thing for them to’do was to settle which they did. “East Lynne." a sumptuous revival has been given the famous play and a strong company headed by J. F. Crosby. Jr. and Inez Forman selected to retell the old. old story of a husband’s incredulity; a wife's jealousy and a villain's clever plotting. By lovers of a soulful play, the announce ment of a revival of “East Lynne which is this season manaped by Frank Burt, will be hailed with delight. The drama appeals, however, to others besides the ultra sentimental as is attested by the numerous long runs the piece has had in the twenty five years or more of service seen.

All summer the railroads have been fighting to clear the city of dishonest ticket brokers who prey upon the pub lie and arrests have been frequent. The Itetter class of brokers has so far maintained the right to deal in unused tickets, but others are not satisfied, and now. it is charged, they have stooped to forgery to aid them in their game of looting the public. Detective Sergeant O’Laughlin last night arrested Charles Silverberg. employed by Smith & Co., who have a brokerage office on Exchange street, near Main, on a charge of forgery. The warrant fur his arrest was sworn out l»v Harry T. Smith, manager of the joint agency of the railroads at 5(1 Exchange street. The stamps which it is alleged Silverberg used to validate the tickets he handled are in the possession of the railroads’ attorneys and will lie used as evidence against him as well as a number of tickets bearing the forged signature. One of the stamps is a seal press which embosses the name of Mr. Smith. Silverberg was ar raigned in police court this morning, but Senator Laughlin, who will try the ease for the joint agency, could not lie present, and at the request of Attorney Louis Babcock it was adjourned to next Monday. If the stories of the people who patronize dishonest brokers could be heard there would tie a sudden ending to the business of this class of sharks. Hundreds of tickets have been taken up on trains out of Buffalo this summer, and the holders, who had purchased them of dishonest brokers under a misapprehension, have been obliged to pay their fan's or get off the train. The imnoyance and shame of an altercation with conductors is in many cases as bad as the loss of the money paid for the worthless tickets. .Since the opening of the exposition ir responsible brokers have flocked here from every city of the country ami gone into business. A board or bar rel stuck on the sidewalk sufficed for an office, and nobody could move quicker than the broker when trouble came in sight. Buffalo News.
