Immediately after his wife had been granted a divorce in the superior court Friday, Dr. J. W. Younge made public announcement that next Friday he would be married to Mies Iva Rhea, of Clinton county, who, the doctor says, is the pret iest girl in Indiana. She is the daughter of the wealthiest land owner in Clinton county, is twenty-two years of age, and very accomplished. Dr. Younge says she has been in Chicago for some time preparing her trousseau. The doctor has engaged a box fur himself and his bride for the Mar-lowe-Southern engagement at the 'Majestic next week —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Word has just leaked out that Emmett McLean, an old Decatur bov, who is at present located at Portland, Oregon, is married and has been for some time pist, the event having taken place in Seattle, Washington. Miss Bird was the name of the bride. When Miss Jessie McLean, a sister of Mr. McLean, was asked today concerning the report she stated that it was true, but that the entire family was in ignorance of the event until Miss Jessie made the recent trip to Denver. This will no doubt prove surprising news to his many friends here, who were of the opinion that Emmett would remain a bachelor. Superintendent Conway of the Metropolitan Insurance company, was in tne city Monday and officially announced that he had appointed S. S. Bartlett, of Fort Wavne to take the place made vacant by John S. Peterson, who was forced to resign from the company's service on account of ill health.

Mr. Sherrin was the head and front of the independent movement in Indiana and was given the credit for being the one man above all others who made it possible to operate against any and all odds. He had been suffering some from the heat, but no one supposed he was ill. While standing alone in the hotel h- suddenly reeled and fell Friends rushed to his side, but he was dead in a few moments. The body will be sent to Indianapolis tonight.

Harry Ryf, the adopted six yearold son of John Butler’s in French township, whs seriously injured Tuesday noon by falling from a ladder in the barn to the floor. He was unconscious for a long time and was in a comatose condition upon the arrival of Dr. Reusser. He has only a small bruise on one of the hips, but judging from the flow of blood and other fluid s through the ear he must have fractured the skull.— Berne Witness. Martha Place was born in Vermont.

The Geneva Park Club is a real live institution, with a beautiful ground, a fust one-half mile track, and a base ball diamond that com pares with any other. The best and most solid business men of Geneva are the prime movers in the Park club, and the advertising they will give Geneva through this medium will make that place well and favorably known. Geneva is chuck full of enterprise and her business men work hand in hand for the best interests of that pushing little town. The Geneva Park Club will be a valuable ad dition to their business progress. Miss Kendal’ Franke's house party dispersed today, after a week spent at the Robison stock farm. Miss Houstan accompanied Miss Flanner to Indianapolis for a short stay when she will return to her home near Louisville, Ky. Miss Hilda Shrom, whose home is in Pittsburg, Pa., will visit Miss Price at Lima, O. The “at home’’ given for Miss Kendall and her guests last Saturday evening was to have taken the form of a moonlight picnic, but the weather prevented the out of door program. A contest of drawing and guessing popular songs proved the high class ability of those assembled, many of the sketches being as good as some of the better illustrations of the day. Prizes were won by Mr. George Arnold, Miss Pearl Sayler, Miss Blanche Dailey. Dr. Cheeny, and Mr. Bell, of Fort Wayne. MGs Franke and Mr. Robison proved themselves very efficient assistants to the hostess. The Bluffton guest-, returned to town in the small hours. The fate of the Decatur party has not been learned —Bluffton News. The people of Curryville are much worried over the attitude of the Clover Leaf railroad company toward their town. For years there has been a ticket office.at that place and two trains made flag stops there to take on passengers. E. L. Carroll, of Decatur, has maintained an elevator for the purchase of grain. Orders were received the fifteenth by the agent, doing away with the ticket office and since that an order has come to have two oars, now on the siding, removed by Monday as the switch is to be spiked shut at that time. It is understood that the elevator is to be torn away at once and removed to some other place. Curryville and Craigville are but a mile apart and the two little places so close together were not profitable in the eyes of the railroad company. It is understood that a suit in court for damages will follow this action on the part of the comp my. It is claimed that when Drumm brothers deeded their land to the Clover Leaf for a right of way it was with the understanding that a station was to be always maintained at that place and on this failure of the company to comply with the deed, will rest the basis of the suit.—Bluffton Banner.

Indianapolis, June 21.—Governor Hanly today executed the most extraordinary parole ever granted by an Indiana executive. Samuel Peters, a notorious saloonkeeper of Fowler, Benton county, Indiana, six months ago received a two years’ jail sentence for violating the liquor laws by keeping his no torious dive open at unlawful hours and by otherwise breakng the laws whenever the occasion presented itself. By the terms of the parole, which Governor Hanly granted to Peters, the latter gets his freedom by promising not only to boecme a temperance man, but a temperance worker, also that he will try to reform his friends, will not visit any place where liquors are sold or use liquor in any form. This is at important step by the governoi for another reason, it is the first parole granted by an Indiana governor for a man serving a jail sentence outside Marion county and means that scores of jail prisoners over the state will now appeal to him.

Morton, has written a letter to the Morton monument commission of Indiana insisting that the commission erect the monument to Indiana’s war governor at the east front of the state house. Mr. Holloway's reason is purely a sentimental one—that the monument would then face the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument. One member of each G A. R Post and 250 newspaper editors are now receiving subscriptions for the monument. Gosport, Ind., June 21.—A party of ten campers jovially invited another party to go seining here recently.

The commission is un i decided as to what steps to pursue.

PICNIC BANQUET 1 Geneva Ladies Entertained Husbands fI— — A Novel Feature of Fourth Celebration | Will be an Exhibition Run by the Fire Company. Special Correspondence. Geneva, Ind., June 21.—The members of the Fortnightly club participated in a picnic banquet at the Masonic hall Tuesday evening, which proved to be a most enjoyable affair. It was the intention of the ladies to take their suppers to the woods and then have the husbands come and partake of a picnic feast. The rain spoiled their plans, however, and the good things were taken to the hall. The people had just as good a time as though they had been in the woods. The only thing which marred the pleasures was the absence of mosquitoes, ants and bugs. After the supper the tablis were removed and guests enjoyed themselves in a social way bv dancing. There were some fifty members present—not counting the children and the baby donkey. Among the many other novel amusements which the Geneva Park club will have for the Fourth of July celebration will be an exhibition run by the Geneva Fire department. This part of the program will be carried out in the evening in conjunction with the | fireworks display. A frame build- ( ing about ten feet square will be built simply to be burned, and as - tor it has been completely fired, the alarm will be turned in and the fire d laddies with their chemical engine I will make a 400 yard dash to the e scene of the “ terrible fire.” The ’ company is composed of twenty five members, and is captained by 1 William Campbell. A chemical engine and a hook and ladder buck- j et wagon comprise the outfit, and t with this outfit the company has j always found itself capable of com- { bating successfully any fire. That ( the exhibition will be far from tne j least interesting numbers of the j program is an assured fact. The , celebration is in charge of the Ge- ( neva Park club, and the greater 1 number of the events will be held , at the racing park Geneva, Ind., June 17—Saturday ] morning saw the first horses on the I track at the Geneva Pirk club i grounds. At that time several of I the local horsemen took their racer.to the track for “try-outs.” There ( have been no barns built on the grounds, but one or two of the horsemen here exp >ot to put up , their own barns immediately. It , is the intention of . the local team ( men t . have amateur races or the Fourth of July, and these will be ' only one of the many attractions f on that day—rhe big day for Geneva. All the old-fashioned sp >rts such as the sack races, potatoe 1 races, greased pole, greased pig, 1 together with a baloon ascension, 1 an 1 in the evening a display of 1 fireworks will help bring the crowds to Geneva sot a good time. Geneva, Ind , June 19—The ’ members of the order of Knights • of Pythias at this place observed 1 their annual decoration day Sun- 1 day. In the morning at eight 1 o’clock the lodge members as- 1 sembled at the hall, where they ’ were met by the Geneva City 1 band, which led the march to the < cemetery, where impressive cere- ‘ monies were held to do honor to ’ those brothers who have joined ’ the Great lodge above. After the exercises at the cemetery the members returned to the hall where . they were met by Rev. Mower, ( pastor of the U. B church, who led them to the Methodist church, ( where he delivered one of the finest memorial addresses ever given ( in Geneva. After the services at the church the exercies for the . day were over.

John Green, one of the most prominent oil men in this section of the country, narrowly eeciped being seriously injured in a bad runaway Monday evening. He was coming in from the oil field after his hard day’s work and being tired he tell as eep. He does not know what woke the torse into su.h sudden activity, br.r it was a hard bump that woke John and he was very much awake before the horse was stopped. Had the animal plunged but a few yards further the result might have been too horrible to relate and John realizes is better than anyone else. Showers which have fallen for the pist h-ee or four evenings have meant many dollars to the farmers around here because of the benefit they have done the corn. While all the c.>rn does nut look as good as it should, yet there are some pieces in splendid condition and the crop, as a whole, will good, if not oetter. thsn last year. Preparations are still going oa for the big Fourth of July celebration, which will be held here, and advertising matter will be put out in a few davs telling all about it.
