To those who want to make seething out of nothing, and especially to those Adams coqgty people who, with this intent in view, purchased patent churns whereby you can make two pounds of butter out of one by churning It up again with tnilk, the decree of H. E. Barnard, stating that the sale of such as butter is illegal, will be of interest. A dispatch says: "H. E. Barnard, chleg chemist for the state board of health, has his weather eye out for so-called butter made by placing a pound of real butter and a pound of milk together in a patented machine and mixing them thoroughly. If any one is found trying to sell the stuff for butter, Barnard avers, he will find the state food law tapping him on the shoulder and inviting him to police court. “Various parts of the state have been flooded recently with circulars from the concerns manufacturing the machines. The manufacturers say the action of the milk to the butter makes it go further, and provides a butter at about half the cost of ordinary butter. - 'The only object in “working'' butter,’ said Barnard, ‘is to “work” the milk out of it, and the standard by which the butter is gauged is the lack of water and milk contained. The objection to ordinary country butter is that the makers do not “work’ it enough to take out all of the milk. Now we find a group of manufacturers advertising a machine to undo the work of the butter manufacturer, and claiming it will better the food product. When we find a dealer selling butter from which' the original milk has not been removed we prosecute him, and we will certainly prosecu'e any person selling butter the kind of stuff the patented machines must certainly produce. “The machines are advertised for household use on the plea that the housewife can make a pound of butter go twice as far. However, the housewife who uses it will merely find she has reduced a pound of good, solid, wholesome butter, capable of keeping sweet for several days, to a milky, mushy mass that will spoil in a short time.” “Barnard has not found any of the stuff on the market in any part of the state, but has instructed his field inspectors to watch for it." W’T.T THE SIC!'. Al Garard, who on Wednesday fell from a scaffolding at the new . ity hall, where he, with two other workmen,' were working, receiving two broken ribs, is doing nicely, and it is believed he will get along all right front nowon. On account of the extreme pain which he at first suffered, it was thought that an internal injury might have s '..ed, but this has been settled . in t' mind of the physician that there is and but little pain is now en-, dured by him. D —.». | Mrs. E. S. Moses, who has been ill With erysipelas since the first of the v eek, is better, but is still confined to her bed. < " . - I Walter, son of L. D. Brown of Pleas ant Mills, who has been at the St. Joseph hospital, Fort Wayne, for severs' weeks, is still unable to leave for his home, but the trip is believed to be not very far away. The reports received from his bedside and the members of the family, who frequently visit him. are very encouraging, and the wound from the abscess growth is healing nicely. Frank Parent, clerk at the Parrish restaurant, was unable to be at his post of duty today on account of sickness. Word from Huntington is that Lucile, daughter of Mrs. Etta Chubb-| Rosebrough, formerly of this city, who was injured several weeks ago in a coasting collision, is improving, but still confined to the house. The injury to her wrist is better, and the gash inflicted in her forehead is healing nicely, but it is thought this will leave a permanent scar. Suspecting that Beatrice Wiley, a young Geneva (Ind.) girl, was being held prisoner in a resort on East Wabash street, Rev. George W. Bennett caused the arrest of Grace Childers, proprietress of the house, and the detention of the girl. Walter Carns, a stock company actor, furnished the information on —Meh t' e arrest was nv>de. Carns told Rev. Bennett the Wiley girl was under age and that immediately upon her arrival in Indianapolis two days ago she was induced to enter the bouse and had been kept a prisoner. 'n nolice court Satu-day the Wiley girl told Judge Collius that she was ' 1 last September, that she had entered the house of her own accord, and that she was not being held against her will. She came to Indianapolis two days ago, she said. Rev. Bennett was in court but Carns failed to appear. The girl told Judge Collins that Carns had tried to get her to go to Richmond with him,

’*** t In a show that he was preparing to put on. —Indianapolis Sun. Judge Collins < ontlmu’d , until later In the week for further investigation. The girl was sent to the j , Milbourne home at Portland on order, of the court and will be cared for at the Institution until her case is again called. i Through the Erwin real estate agency, James C. Moses, owner of the. . 138-acre farm north of the city, known , as the Fritginger farm, has sold the same to Julius Haugk of this city, the : consideration being 118,000. As a part I of the consideration Mr. Moses takes over the Julius Haugk residence prop-, Jetty on Madison street, formerly the I Beavers property. Mr. Moses will hold | , a sale of personal property February • ; 27th, and it is said is contemplating going to Canada for the summer, where he will take up interests, his son, Carl Moses, having been there, for several years, cultivating the large, tract of land which he purchased there. Mr. Moses is, however, not, fully decided as to what he and his , family will do. Another deal made through the Er- • win real estate agency, was the purchase of the Fred Geier fifty acres east of this city, by County Auditor H. S. Michaud, the land bringing a fancy price, which it is well worth. Every young man. regardless of how much money his father has to leave him, should become efficient in some trade and obtain at least a good com | mon school education. There is a 1 great demand for men in all lines of ‘ trade while there is a big surplus in

the professions with thousands only ( i eking out a living. Let the boy take 1 up any trade he desires; some may I want to be printers, blacksmiths, car- j penters, cabinet-makers, shoemakers. I ' etc. All are good for an honorable liv- ( ing if mastered in the right way, while I the clerk, traveling salesman, physi-1 cian, lawyer and many of the other j professions are crowded to their utmost capacity. Insist on your boy do-' ing something in the mechanical line and insist on him being able to do 1 anything possible in his line With a good common school educa-l tion and special training in his dne | he will succeed while his companions who have no special line will have a ' hard time to get along before they die. Think of his parents, and look well to your boy before it is too late. I fl-' - Peterson & Moran of ’his city, attorneys for John Townsend, nineteen-year-o’ , sen of Mrs. Harvey Clark, of Monmouth, in w nis suit filed in the Tipton county court, against his guardian, William Pratt, of Tipton county, in which he asks that the guardian be re- * moved, and takes exceptions to the guardian' B current report, this morning received that Combs •01 Frankfort had granted the petition. | The guardian is given thirty days to ( make his final report as guardian, lead-, ing to his final removal as such Judge I I Combs also found that in vouchers 6, j S ancl 12. filed with Pratt s current report, the proper charges had not oeen made, the shortage involving some ?212. Young Townsend is the owner of a ninety-four acre farm in Tipton county, and th<- income therefrom is considerable. About two years ago, the same trouble with Pratt’s current report was found, the shortage at that time being some SSOO. With this second mischarging came the determination to have the guardian removed, which, it seems, has been successfully done. It is said, however, that Pratt will ask for another hearing. J. M. Purvis of Tipton was associated with Peterson & Moran in the case.

Con A hippie and his sister, Blanche, now known as niandi Kimble (having been adopted by Dr. Kimble of Maion) arrived here today noon from Marion and entered at once upon the work of tracing the estate left to their mother, the late Mrs. Mary Whipple, by her brother, Cornelius C. Bowen, a civil war veteran, who died the first of > the year at Toronto, Canada. Mrs | Whipple left here about thirteen years ago for Marion, but has been dead about ten years, hence, no doubt, the | difficulty in tracing her and her heirs, i It will be remembered that several I weeks ago a message from the hospital in Toronto, came here, addressed to Mrs. Mary Whippie, stating that C. C. Bowen was dying there. Mrs Whipple could not be located, and liter, word was received by J. C. Patterson, through a soldier friend, that Mr. Bowen, who was a veteran, had died in Toronto, leaving his estate ’o his sister. This week, another letter was received by M. J. Butler, I. O. O. !■'. i

secretary, asking for information as to, Mrs. Whipple, relative to the estate. ■ Her two children, who are her only heirs, and reside in Marion, learned of this, and came today noon to trace up the matter further. They have engaged an attorney in Marion to represent them, and will lay claim at once' to the estate. Immediately on arriving here today noon they called on Mrs. Joel Reynolds, an old friend of the family, and the reunion was a happy one. The children stated that their mother's I maiden name was Bowen, and thic they remembered hearing of an uncle! “Con" Bowen, for whom in all prob- 1 ability. Con Whipple was named. While here they also called on Robert Blackburn, the pension agent, who secured for their mother a pension, an I who also has records of her marriage, and others which will be necesary t > them in claiming the estate. From here they went to Howe, Ind., where the sercetary of the regiment in which their uncle, Mr. Bowen, served, now re sides, and through whom, Mr. Patterson secured information regarding the ( leaving of the estate. i As befits a good soldier, not only oi . the cross, but of his country, as befits a good citizen and friend, and fraternal member, al> that is mortal of the late Andrew 7. Teeple, civil war veteran, ard fc“ many years a prominent resident of this city and county, whose death occurred late Tuesday’afternoon after a short illness from a paialytic

stroke, with complications of jaan.v years' standing, was laid away for its I~st long rest, in the family lot in the Mt. Tabor cemetery, east of this city, beside the grave of the wife, this morning. The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church in this city, this morning at 10 o'clock, the sermon being delivered by the Rev R. L. Semans. The church was thronged with the many friends and relatives of the deceased, and attending in a body were the G. A. R. and Masonic orders, with which the deceased was identified during life for many years. The Masons conducted their ritualistic service at the church, and the G. A. R. which accompanied the body to the cemetery, gave its ritualistic service at the tomb, giving the comrade the true military burial of which he surely was worthy. The honorary pall bearers were selected from the G. A. R. and were Ezra Cutting, Daniel Shackley, Henry Fuhrman. William Wetter. W H. Myers, F. F. Freeh. The active : pall bearers were chosen from the ’ ranks of the Masons and were W. P. Schrock, John T. Myers, 0. L. Vance, P. L. Andrews, Charles H?'m and T. R. Moore. 3 NABBED AT HUNTINGTON.
