Today was no exception to the rule, and hundreds of little ones rolled their colored eggs on the historic green, the sport being watched with delight by the older ones. There is no class distinction in this sport, as rich and poor alikq are given place on the lawn, and it is said that many street urchins make this occasion a means of profit by hiring themselves out to childless people who are desirous of attending, as each child must be accompanied by an adult, and the adults being admitted only with children. T “The Shadow club” comprising the members of the Sunday school class of the Presbyterian church, taught by . Miss Winifred Johnson, held a very enjoyable meeting at the home of Miss Hazel Love Saturday afternoon. Other members are Ireta Jackson, Mary Erwin, Dorothy Dugan, Mary h Frisinger, Jennie Long, Lily Buhler, Gladys Meyers, Hazel France, Mabel Moses, Vivian Dutcher, Esther Enos.

U. ladles of Preble will meet at the home of Mrs. J. C. Valentine on Wednesday, March 30th, at 2 p. m.

The subjects to be discussed are “Early Religion in the Home,” “Why Boys and Girls Go Wrong,” “Helps for Mothers of Boys." As this meeting will ne an interesting as well as an important one, all memr bers are asked to be present. j, The James Cowan home at Bobo was the scene of festivity Sunday, when a number of relatives and friends were happily entertained.

-y‘ — ——- - Marion, Ind., March 28-(Special to t Daily Democrat)—The jury in the a Krauss divorce case returned aver- - diet at 10:30 Saturday night after ■. eight hours’ deliberation. The ver--1 diet/ on orders by Judge Elliot, was i not read until court convened at 10 t o’clock this morning. The result of >• the jury’s finding is only advisory to s the court and while there is still • some doubt as to the result It is be- ,, lleved that from the answers to the , six questions propounded to the jury - and answers returned that the inten- - tion of that body was the refusal of , a divorce and it is believed that i Judge Elliot will hold that way when s he renders his decision, though he - did not say so. In other words 5 Krauss will be exonerated from airj 1 part in the murder of his daughter, , Crystal, but will be denied the decree I because he condoned with the defend- > ant after he knew she was the murI derer by her confession. Judge El- , Hot asked attorneys if they cared to : argue further and Mr. Burns fw the • plaintiff and Mr. Hindman for the defendant both replied that they wished to make some motions and to ari gue same before judgment is renderi ed. As the attorneys are busy at i Hartford City it is probable that the i decision of the couyt may not be made for two weeks. • The questions and answers as returned by the ver- ’ diet are: 1. Was defendant, Rae M. Krauss, convicted of the murder of Crystal ■ Krauss? Answer, “Yes.” 2. Was such conviction had upon the confession and plea of guilty of defendant, Rae Krauss? Answer, "Yes.” Was such confession and plea of guilty made voluntarily upon the part of said Rae Krauss and of her own free will? Answer, "No.” 4. What knowledge, if any, had the plaintiff, WHHam R. Krauss, that defendant, Rae Krauss, thitatened, contemplated or intended to kill and murder his said daughter, Crystal Krauss, before the commission of said crime? Answer, “None.” 5. Did the plaintiff, William R. Krauss, knowingly assist, aid, abet or encourage the said Rae Krauss to murder the said Crystal Krauss? Answer, "No.” 6. If the defendant, upon her confession and plea 'of guilty, was convicted of the crime of murder and sentenced to imprisonment for the commission thereof, did the plaintiff, W. R. Krauss, with the knowledge of these facts, condone .such marital offense and forgive the defendant therefor? Answer, “Yes.” Attorney ' Hindman, representing Mrs. Krauss, said he was well pleased with the verdict and believed the answer to the last question would prevent Krauss from securing the divorce. Attorneys for Krauss refused to give an opinion. The court room was packed when the verdict was announced. A SAFEGUARD TO CHILDREN. “Our two children of six and eight years have oeen since infancy subject to colds and croup. About three years ago I started to use Foney’s Honey and Tar, and it has never failed to preven tand cure these troubles. It is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a rew.” The above from W. C. Ornstetn, Green Bay, Wls., duplicates the experience at thousands of other users of Foley’s Honey and Tar.
