Elmer Cochran, who died, yesterday morning at his home in Van Buren, is said to have let such a quantity of blood frofn his system through picking his teeth that death resulted from his. weakened condition. Physicians regard the case as unusual. Mr. Cochran had been sick for some time. He was affected with uraemic poisoning for a time and it is. regarded that the letting of blood from his system by picking his teeth relieved him. He followed the habit until it got to be a mania with him and it is stated ultimately led to his 'death. The deceased was forty years old and is survived by a wife and four children. The funeral will occur at 10:30 o’clock tomorrow morning and burial will be in the Corey cemetery. —Marion News-Tribune. o :—— • ■ A Certain Cure for Aching Feet.

PERTAINING TOTHESE SUBJECTS Don’t Believe in Ordinary Divorces —Will Continue Temperance Work But Not Politically. The Presbyterian assembly is over. The committees report on marriage and divorce was adopted with little discussion. It is brief. “We approve the recommendation of the interchurch conference that ministers should refuse to marry divorced persons, except the innocent party in a case where the divorce has been granted on Scriptural grounds, nor then until assured that a period of one year has elapsed from the date of the decision allowing the divorce. Presbyterians are enjoined to exercise the vigilance and discipline necessary to protect the church from scandal. The minister who performs marriages of divorced persons as forbidden by the church is subject to church discipline. The following temperance resolution was adopted: “Whereas, The church has always stoocl for the separation of the church and state, and the assembly believes that the church in its organized capacity should not, through any of its agencies, be entangled with the political organizations of the state, while urging upon its members as Christian voters to take an active interest in political affairs, bringing to the service of the state a conscientious performance, of' civic duties; therefore, be it “Resolved, That the assembly declares as its policy that the permanent committee on temperance shall not interfere in political primaries advocate the election or defeat the candidates for political office enter into the organization of campaigns, frame bills for presentation to the legislatures, lobby before legislatures or otherwise entangle the church with the political activities of the state, provided that nothing herein may be construed as limiting the constitutional right of petition as granted in our standards; “Whereas, We contend that the church as an organization must continue to do its own temperance work; “Resolved, That the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, U. S. A., most heartily commends the American Anti-Saloon league as a sane, safe and effective. organization in the advancement of the great cause of temperance and pledges thereto the fullest co-operation consistent with the constitution of the church.” o JAMES MAULLER IS DEAD Lived Just East of the State Line and Had Hundreds of Acquaintances Here. James Manlier, a well known citizen of Van Wert, county, died Thursday at his home in Middleberry, midway between this city and Van Wert, at eight o’clock, after an illness of a year’s duration, death resulting from stomach trouble and other complications. Mr. Mauller was sixty years of age, having been born in Crawford county, Ohio, and after reaching the age of twenty years moved to Van Wert county, where he purchased a farm and had since made his home. He was a prosperous fanner and was influential and well respected in the community in which he resided and his untimely demise has cast a gloom over the entire community. He was a member of th M. E. church at Middleberry and was an earnest and devoted worker in its behalf and the church has- lost one of its most substantial members. He was of a charitable disposition, and “his many kind acts and deeds in this line will be sadly missed by those who came in constant touch with him. He was a brother of David Mauller, the well known farmer of this county, who died two years ago in Union township. The, funeral services were held at the M. E. church at Middleberry, on Sunday afternoon at one o’clock, and interment was made in the Salem cemetery. He leaves a wife, four daughters and three sons to mourn their loss.

AGENT NICARAGUA ARBITRATION President Has Many Visitors Who Find Out But Little—Sherman for Governor of Illinois. Washington, May 23. —Persons who expected the President to make some observations on the recent developments in the contest for the Republican nomination for the presidency on his return from his outing at Pine Knot, Va., were disappointed. A good many public men called at the White House today, but the chief executive did riot discuss politics with them. Speaker Cannon was with the president more than an hour, and during the’ day Senator Lodge, Senator Cullom, Representative Cocks, of the president’s home congressional district, 'and several other members of the House of Representatives called. The presence at the White House of Representaitve Longworth, the president’s son-in-law, gave rise to a report that there was to be an important conference on the Ohio situation, but neither Secretary Taft nor any of his many managers saw the president during the forenoon. It is pretty well understood that Longworth brought the president a complete report of the Ohio situation. Ip well-informed quarters it was said that the president has not abandoned all hopes of persuading Secretary Taft to accept a compromise which will provide that Foraker shall be supported for the senate and that the senator shall in return drop his fight to prevent Taft from obtaining an undivided delegation in the national convention. From the same source it was learned that the administration will not attempt to prevent the indorsement of Senator Knox for president by the Pennsylvania Republican state convention on June 6. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who notified. the president today that Lawrence Y. Sherman, Lieutenant-Gover-nor of Illinois, will not accept a place on the Spanish treaty claims commissions, intimated that Sherman might be preparing to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Illnois. W’hen Sherman was appointed to the federal place three weeks ago, he promptly accepted, and the senator was surprised to receive a letter from him today saying he had decided not to take the place. The evcuse he offered was that owing to complications in the state legislature, he feels it his duty*. to hold on to the office of lieutenant-governor. Harry K. Daugherty, of Pennsylvania, who was recommended by Senator Knox, was promptly appointed to the place on the commission. Justice Day, of the United States supreme court, has been appointed by the president as arbitrator in behalf of the United States in the arbitration of the question over mahogany concessions in Nicaragua that is shortly to be held between the governments of Nicaragua and the United States in this city.

William L. Penfield, of Auburn, Ind., formr solicitor of the stat department, has been designated as agent and counsel for the United States in the arbitration. Senor Enrique Creel, ambassador to the United States from Mexico, has been tAitatively selected by President Zelaya to represent the Nicaragua government as arbitrator, but the ambassador has declined, and it is probable that another Latin American ambassdor or minister will be selected. The arbitration is for the settlement of the heavy claims of George D. Emery & Co., of Boston, against the Nicaragua government, which has been pending for some time. This company several years ago obtained what some assert is the most valuable mahogany concession in the world. The company says that President Zelaya, by granting other concessions on certain tracts of this concession and by other actions, has seriously interefered with its operations. The extent of the damages claimed has not been definitely fixed in dollars as yet, but will probably be set forth by the protocol, which is now being drawn up by Mr. Penfield. o APPLIES FOR STATE LICENSE. , * Capital Life Insurance Company Wants to Do Business. The Capital Life Insurance company of Indiana, with headquarters in Indianapolis, a new company just incorporated, has applied to Auditor of State John C. Billheimer for a license to do business in the state. The company’s application has been accepted by H. W.

EVERY ONE ASKED TO DONATE Winners Will Receive Gold and Silver Medals Also plplemas —a Qreat Opportunity. Norfolk, Va., May 25. — A. most interesting feature of the Jamestown exposition, on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Virginia, which opened April 26th, and will close November 30th, is the “Section for Inventiops,” in which inventors are invited to display their inventions and demonstrate their value to visitors. The invitation is open to all, and every facility is offered in the way of floor space, tables and shelves, advertising cards and labels, electric current, gas, lights, etc. A modest fee of from ten to not more than thirty dollars, except in very special cases, is charged for such space and service. The service includes, as well as the general care 'of models, explanations to visitors, and the return of the exhibit at the close of the exposition. Awards will be made of gild, silver and bronze medals and diplomas. That inventors are alive to this unparelleled opportunity for making public their creations, is shown by the fact that within four weeks after the first notice was sent out by the Bureau of Inventions of the Jamestown exposition, applications had been made for more than five thousand square feet, and new applications are now coming at the rate of a hundred a day. The inventors are not the only ones who will profit by this display, for the exhibition cannot fail to be of interest and material benefit to the public at large. Never before has such an opportunity been presented at any exposition, and now that the first step has been made in this • direction, such exhibitions of inventions will, no doubt, become a part of all future expositions. o GEORGE KLEIN GETTING BUSY Is Organizing a Base Ball Company at Van Wert. George Klein is organizing a stock company among the business men and base ball enthusiasts whereby good grounds can be secured and fenced with a suitable grandstand for the use of those who attend and incidentally to have a stronger team for Van Wert. His plan is to sell stock which is not assessable in such an amount as to get the grounds in shape and to get the team on its feet. He has met with gratifying success so far as he has gone. Present indications are that Van Wert will have a much faster team under this new arrangement that will bring joy to the hearts of every Van Wert enthusiast. It is, of course, understood that the new organization would take over the old one as far as it is possible and practicable.—Van Wert Times. o CONDUCTED BIG CATTLE SALE Fred Reppert in Charge of Event at Albion, Indiana. - - < Fred Reppert returned Saturday from Albion, Ind., wnere on yesterday he conducted a cattle sale for C. 0. Palmer of that city. Thirty-five head were offered for sale and averaged something near a hundred and twenty-five dollars per head. A year-

ling calf which had all the ear marks of a show animal, was the last animal offered for sale, and the bidding was brisk, the animal being sold to an Illinois cattle man for the sum of seven hundred and fifty dollars, Mr. Palmer is a cattle raiser of wide reputation and conducts one of these sales every year. He always makes the county fair with a string of cattle and some of the animals sold yesterday were shown at the Great Northern Indiana Fair last season and took away the majority of the prizes in their line. Mr. Reppert says it was one of the best attended sales that he ever cried. o _ —. — Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Macklen, of Geneva, drove to the city Saturday and visited over Sunday with their son Phil and family. . They returned to their home last night. |

OTHER QUESTIONS ARE DECIDED At the Recent Grand Lodge Meeting —Saloon Men Cannot Belong to the Subordinate Lodge. Henceforth, when Daughters of Rebekah go to their lodges with their babies, leaving the babies in the anteroom while they attend the secret session, they will. be violating a rule of their order. Grandmaster Jacob Joel of the Indiana grand lodge I. 0.0. F. has so decreed at the meeting of the grand lodge at Indianapolis. A child should not be permitted in a lodge room or in a lodge ante-room when the arrangement is such that the work of the lodge may be heard. This in substance is the result of the ponderous work of Mr. Joel, and the committee to which his report was referred concurred. The decision applies to Oddfellows as well as Rebekahs. Another question which came up was whether a secretary has the right to collect dues at his place of business. The grandmaster held that he did not. The committee reversed the decision. The grandmaster ruled also that when it is shown that members conspire to “blackball” any candidate whose name is presented these members may be expelled. The grandmaster decided also that a lodge may not donate its funds in an indiscriminate way. This question came up w’hen a lodge in the north part of the state donated SIOO as a part bonus to a factory. The report of W. H. Leedy, grand secretary, yesterday, showed that the net gain in membership in the last year had been 3,637. The net gaiA in lodges was seven. The total net resources of the lodge stands at $3,177,106.62. Jacob Joel, grandmaster, in his report said that the lodge spirit over the state is most satisfying. The question of permitting liquor dealers and bartenders to membership in subordinaffl lodges occupied the attention of the grand lodge Thursday. This question came up a year ago w’hen it was found that an Indianapolis lodge had ten or fifteen saloon men in its ranks. The grandmaster ruled against this and these members have been expelled. o ADAIR A MASCOT CANDIDATE May Accept the Nomination for Governor. Congressman-elect Adair, of the Eighth Indiana district, who was in Fort Wayne during the Grand Army encampment visiting friends, is looked upon as one of the most likely men in the state to honor with the next democratic gubernatorial nomination. Congressman Adair looks like a mascot and the democratic party in Indiana probably something of the sort. He has never been defeated for any office for which he was a candidate and he capped the climax of his successes when, last November, he wiped out a republican majority of some eight thousand and defeated Congressman George W. Cromer by a wide margin. Mr. Adair says he is not seeking the nomination for governor and under no circumstances would accept it unless the party and its organization were prepared to go into the next campaign determined to make a fight to win.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.
