William P. Cjop.T as chairman of | the invitation committe ?or the twelfth annual meeting of the board of state charities and correction, j which meets in Fort Wayne Sept. 23, 24 and 25 is sending invitations promiscuously in the hope of getting a good attendance. The meeting will be full of interest. Charles Haviland was acquitted on charge of having robbed Patrick j Fahey of near New Corydon,of slls. After hearing the testimony the judge'ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of acquital as there was not evidence to warrant conviction. The arrest of Mr. Haviland a few months ago on the above j mentioned charge created great surprise here on account of the excellent reputation of the accused. Fahey lost his money in a saloon at New Corydon and in all proba-

bility those who were instigators of Mr. Haviland's arrest, know more of the whereabouts of the lost money I than they have yet told.—Geneva Herald. In circuit court Saturday James M. Rose filed a separate demurrer to each paragraph of the complaint in the case entitled Nicholas Gasser vs L. W. Luckey and James M. Rose. [ Anson VaCamp was given judgment for $193.14 against the Decatur Oil & Gas Co. Next week will be a j light one very probably as the , Great Northern Fair will be an attraction.

Court will be held every , morning next week but it is;. thought no business of great impor- j, tance will be brought up. Later 1 this morning Alma Englehart was , granted a divorce from Michael Englehart and she was given the custody of the daughter Grace. In pro-

V O — V bate court A. C. Gregory asked that his guardian be instructed to allow him sls a month. The question will be heard next week.

A little thirteen year old girl ran away from the Orphans Home at Berne several days ago and not until Monday afternoon was she located. The child had walked northwest of Berne and was ten miles west of Monroe, nearly starved-and on the verge of collapse from exhaustion when taken in by farmer living near the road. After several days the girl told where she was from and said she had started for her home in Hiinois. She was loath to return to the Orphanage. One of the matrons of that institution went out after her and walked to Monroe with the girl. They arrvived too late for the afternoon train south and walked the rest of the way to Berne. —Portland Commercial Review.

Women in a dozen states have been victimized by this graft and society leaders and prize beauties all over this glorious country have contributed to the fraud. Orders have been issued agints the concern by the postal department but that will not satisfy the women who contributed.—Bluffton News. Indiana’s laws of taxation underwent changes at the

hands of the last legislature. The new provision becomes effective with the next listing of property. The state board of tax commissioners will be in session within the next few weeks for the purpose of codifying the tax laws as they now stand. The most important change is in the time for listing property. Sixty days are now given assessors to do their work, beginning April 1 and ending June 1. Under the new law, which repeals the act of 1891, personal property must be listed between the first day of March and the 15th day May. This gives seventy five days to the work. In nearly every county of the state assessors have experienced difficulty in finishing their work in sixty days and as the pay of assessors and their deputies is provided for in an appropriation by the county councils, and is based upon sixty days it has often times occurred that the assessors have been compelled to put in extra time without pay. Law suits have resulted in one or two counties, attempts having been made by assessors to compel county councils to make appropriations for the additional time. It is believed that with fifteen .ivtr-i 7?,r_ jin finishing the work in time.
