Judge Engle refused to grant a divorce to Elizabeth Stump from her husband. George Stump, an aged and well known resident of this city. Mrs. Stump accused her husband of cruel and inhuman treatment and failure to provide, but she was unable to make a case. Her daughter and son-in-law testified that they had often visited the house and that Stump always treater! his wife kindly and had plenty to eat on thetable. Mr. and Mrs. Stump were married in 1886,and the latter secured a divorce in 1904. After a very few weeks they were reynarrid and Hived together until Mrs. Stump was taken to the Richmond asylum as insane. She was later discharged as cured and returned here to live with her husband. Then followed the separation and Mrs. Stump went to Jay county to live with relatives. The court held that when the couple were married the first time • they lived together long enough to , become acquainted with connubial . bliss and that if they didn't like it , they ehould have stayed apart when . the divorce was granted them four years ago.

There is nothing novel in the decree issued by the pastor of an American church against the big hats, says a writer in a Vienna paper. Toward the end of the thirteenth century great broad brimmed hats were fashionable in Austria. They were of such huge dimensions that a face under one of them could not be recognized. A poem written by Hadlaub expressed disgust with the style and the hope that the hats might be consigned to the Danube, “so that the pretty faces of our women might once more become visible.” Miss Edna Laemmermann, the young girl who met with so terrible an accident at a Fort Wayne laundry nearly a year ago, in which her entire scalp was ripped from her head, taking with it the skin of her forehead, eyelids and skin from the bridge of her nose, underwent an operation this week for the correction of some of the defects that were unavoidable in the grafting process by which her i life was saved. Miss Laemmermann’s | scalp was restored to her head within thirty minutes after it had been torn away and she remained many months at a hospital recovering. The scalp refused to grow and skin from the arms of friends was grafted upon her head and several months ago she was discharged from the hospital as cured. Her eyelids, however, were drawn up in an unsightly manner, and it is for the correction of this that the operation was made. With this Completed traces of the terrible accident will be scarcely noticeable.

Bremerkamp, Decatur, Ind. o Apparently the fight against the encroachment of the Arkansas river toward the eastern residential section of Pink Bluffs, has been won, and with the more rapid receding of the water, as now indicated, it is believed that the most serious phase of the present flood is passed.

Decatur merchants are preparing for a grand rush in holiday goods. In fact there has already been considerable purchasing done. It is the wise buyer who looks after the Christmas wants early, and it is the wise merchant who early advertises appropriate gifts. Frank Carroll, who for several months has been employed at the Elzey barber shop at the DeWitt smoke house, bought a half interest in the shop Monday. Messers. Carroll and Elzey are popular young men and will no doubt receive their share of the patronage. That the freight business on the I Fort Wayne & Springfield interurban is increasing is encouraging to the promoters of the road. November’s business exceeds that of the preceding month. o ——— More people are taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy every year.
