A slight accident occurred on Monroe street yesterday whereby John I‘eoples lost two wheels off his buggy, the result of coming in contact with the Ent House ’bus. The ’bus driver was not to blame in any particular as Mr. Peoples turned his horse squ-’rely m the path of the ’bus, and a c Jlisicn could not be avoided.

Tne outfit arrived today from Mclntosh of Chicago, and was given a trial this evening, proving very satisfactory. There are not many lodges that have this feature but the Geneva order which is always up to the line were bound to be, as one member said, “there with the goods.’’ Lob ditch is getting ready for business. Dr. C. R. Price is busy moving ihs office fixtures from the room he has occupied in the Pyle bulding to the suite of rooms above the WiesQmilliner store in the Glen denning block, where he will have a thoroughly and neatly arranged office. Dr. Price has decided to make this place this permanent home and has just closed a deal for the Robert Brown preprety in High street. The eternal question—“ Why have you no hotel?" From the way the people of Geneva are talking of the concert which is to be given in the Metho diet church on Tuesday evening, March 27, it is a foregone conclusion that the capacity of the church will be tested for everyone says that they are going to attend. The concert is being given under the auspices of the stewards of the church to make up a deficiency in Hie pastor’s salary and it is guaranteed to be one of the best attractions ever brought here. The members of the company are the Misses Butler, soprano; Verncn, violinist; Diggs, pianist, and Schreck, reader. Business is picking up very con siderably for the[srow shovel . •

Geneva, Ind., March 10.—Friday ■ was a great day for the Rathbone Sisters of Geneva, for on that day the Geneva chapter was instituted. The work was none by the Portland team and was simply fire—so it is said. Quite a number of visitors were here from Portland and Berne to see that the new chapter was started off in goed shape, and they feel now that it is, for with a membership of forty-eight and many more prospective members the lodge will soon be one of the leaders. After the work in the even ing a luncheon was served in the Masonic banquet hall. Franklin, Ind., March 13.—Cyrus Brown, aged eighty-o n e, an inmate of the county infirmary, was murdered last night by Thomas Darrel, aged sevennty-five. Darrell, Brown and Samuel Kiphart occupied one room, sleeping on single beds. About mid-night Kephart heard some one walk across the room and call to Brown, and noticed Darrell s-tanding at the side of Brow: s bed He heard him say that two angles came to him in his dreams and told him to kill him, meaning Brown. Brown tried to pacify Darrell, but the latter picked up a heavy iron cuspidor and beat Brown over the head, striking him terriffio blows and mashing his head to a pulp. Kephart is a paralytic and can only speak a in whisper and is helpless to move himself, and was thus unable to obtain help. Darrell not noticing Kephart went into the next room and told another inmate named Cleveland what he had done. Cleveland sounded the alarm and Darrell was placed in jail. He cries incessantly and says there is no ill feeling between him and his victim. Celina, 0., March B.—Suspicion points to a foul murder committed at Chattanooga, Ohio. Dr. M atter, who acted as coroner at the in quest of the body of Mrs. Emerick, found in a well, has mede the foilowng statement: “The latest developments in the Emeiiok case is that an examination of the lungs and stomach revealed the fact that there was no water in either, which secludes the theory that she committed suicide by drowning herself, or that she was drowned at all. This, added to the fact that it is quite well known that she kept money in considerable quantity in her possession, also that she always had a few dollars in change with her for dally use, and that not a particle could be found upon her person or in the house, gives it quite a shady aspect. However, there is no clue as yet that would serve to justify suspicion as to the identity of the the criminal. The community is considerably exercised over the affair and a mushroom crop cf speculative theories has been grown up in a night and being harvested by the wiseacres with a knowing kind of ‘I could have told you so.' Time may reI veal much, but now is the time | for quiet investigation and not gossip. ’’

Tie soeond round goes to Cromer. The tribunal of the state committee yesterday heard the evidence and discusicns relative to eighth district “fairness" and the “square deal" as interpreted bv the editors and a few others. They listened with what patience and ■ fortitude they could muter up, and I hen by a vote of twelve to one, . they told the eighth district com -1 mittee a few things in these words: > 1. That the congressional district c immittee has no power to appoint a board of republican primary election commissioners in the various counties of any district for the purpose i of taking charge of the pri- | mary ejection in such counties; ’ but that under the rules of this committee and the established custom of the party such power vests only in the county com mittee. 2. That all candidates desiring to have their names printed upon congressional primary election ballots shall give notice to the district chairman of such candidacy and pay to said district chairman their proportion of the costs of said primary election at least len days bsfore the date of such election. 3. That the total amount of rhe assessment shall not exceed the cost of printing and distribu'i iz the ballots and election supplies and providing polling places for holding such elections. “The state committee hereby directs and instructs the eighth district committee to so modify its rules as to conform with the recommendations herein made. ’’ The rules above are plain and to the point, and in a nutshell means that the county committee in each county in the district have full power and control of the primary election. That the only assessment that can be made bv the district committee is for the printing and distribution of the election ballots and supplies. The action of the state committee is a complete knockout blow to all the contentions made by Mr. S il well and gives rules for the governing of the primary that are similar tj those in use in the primary of two years ago. All day yesterday was taken up with a discussion of the affairs in this district, and it was half past seven o’clock, last evening before they concluded and gave their instructions.

Lucy Atn Bates Reokard was born in Pennsylvania, March 6, 1837, and died in Decatur, Indiana March 6, 1906, at sixty-nine years of age. When quite small she came to Indiana with her pirents, who made their home near South Whitley. While her advantages were somewhat limited she possessed herself of such education as the common schools of that day and her personal efforts afforded. On October 8, 1861, she was united in marriage to D. B. Reckard, and ! soon afterward she braved for three years the lonely lot, which fell to so many of our hsroic American women while the dearest and ■ best of earth, faced the bayonet's point and the cannon's mouth in search for liberty, and the elevation of principle. At the age of twenty three she became a Christian and , united with the Eel RiverJßaptist ’ church in Whitley county. This ■ step marked the beginning of a ' magnificent caieer. Always faithful to the principles embodiad in 1 the vows she assumed, she exem 1 plified in her life the words ex I pressed by Paul in his inimicable advice to the Corinthians, she be-

held, “with open face, as in a glass the glory of the L • ■ t .1 was changed, “into the from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord." Bjginning early in the preparaton for life’s service, she was a fit subject for a helpmate to him who, about five years after their marriage, entered the public ministry of the Baptist church, and for forty-four atd a half years gave her active duties to the drawing and lifting as souls to Jesus Christ. Eternity alone will reveal the grace utilized in over coming difficulties, achieving vIo tories, and winning jewels that are now set in the diadem now forever to rest on the brow of her so recently translated. She was a faithful helpmate on several pastoral charges, and in this church about twenty years ago. Mr. Daniel Bates of North Webster, Mr. Ban jamin Bites and Mrs. Nellie Seymore cf South Whitley, brothers and sister, Mrs. Lucy Croy of Ohio City, the loving husband, will each cherish in memory so sweet and pure a life. While spirituality is the need and privilege of all, some natures £are more readilly attuned to it than others, and her s jWas one of those devoted spirits which seemed to allure those who were forgetul and care less. With her a smile was more than motion of the lips, and in gentleness was found her strength. Words fail to paint or portray the baauties in a character impressed daily with such caro aud painstak ing, but he who alone w >ighs tne value of a soul never fails to record the good deeds done in the body and is ever just to reward. “Calm on the bosom of thy Goa, Fair spirit rest rhee now I E'en while with us thy footsteps tred, His seal was on thy brow. Dust, to its narrow house beneath I Soul, to its place on high I They that hav? seen thy look in death, No more may fear to die. “Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers, Whence thy meek smile is gone; But O, a brighter time than ours, In Heaven is now thine own.” The funeral service was conducted at the Baptist church, at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, bz Rev. W. B, Cullis and Rev, John C. White. The interment; was made in Maplewood cemetery qjji-Ui-miiwiiiii— umi—iit r iiiiimiMiaii ~ ■■>»««»-*> i i miw sura JII LIFE” —That’s what a prominent druggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don’t use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, . but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connection with Scott’s Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott’s Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying improper and weak development, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emulsion itself. What it does it does through nourishment—the kind of nourishment that cannot be obtained m ordinary food. I No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott’s Emulsion and gather good i from it.
