, The meeting of the Eastern Star Club at the home of Mrs. H. L. Brown, which was announced for Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Brown and Mrs. S. C. Irwin as hostesses, has been recalled. Dr. Edward A Corcoran came down from Chicago yesterday to spend a few days with Mr. and Mrs. E. r. Honan, joining Mrs. Corcoran, who returned here with Mrs. Honan last week. Dr. Corcoran is a member of the faculty of the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons. Melvin Armey, of Nappanee, has been dfriven insane by study. It is said he imagines himself to be a new apostle of Christian Science. He was delivering an extended sermon to an unseen audience when taken in custody. He constantly talks about the teachings of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Scientist church. Mrs. Delos Thompson and daughters, Misses Luis and Emily, Mrs. F. A. Turfler and Mrs. Geo. H. Healey attended the religious concert Sunday afternoon at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, by the Sheffield choir, composed of 200 English voices, who are touring America. The choir was directed by Dr. Henry Coward. Mr. Thompson and Miss Lois remained in Chicago for the concert by the same company tonight Tom Coburn, a gentleman and a true sportsman, and also some wrestler, thought the devotees of the game here should be treated to the best that could be had. So he consented to be the goat in order that the fans could see Chas. Olsen work. Olson is the light heavyweight champion of the world. He wrestles such mat artists as Roller and Hackenschmldt. He has amassed a fortune in the game and is a real champ. Coburn has demonstrated that he is a good man. He disposed of the Greek without much trouble, but Olson handled Murbarger as easily. Murbarger outweighed Olson, who, as compared with short; blocky Sam, was tall and spindling. He showed no marvelous development anywhere, but his strength was enormous, and his agility marvelous. He handled Sam as he pleased, and got the first fall in 16 minutes, and the second in 8. There was only a fair crowd out, but those who saw Olson work, saw a real champ in action Saturday night at the opera house. Ladies long coats at exceptionally low prices. ROWLES & PARKER.

MOTHER CRUSHED BABY TO DEATH IN HER BED.

Young Wife and Mother at Fair Oaks Mashed Infant While She Slept— Coroner Held InqueaL Coroner Wright was called to Fair Oaks this Monday morning to conduct an inquest over the death of an infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Ray C. Casey, the circumstances surrounding which seemed to warrant an investigation. Nothing indicating criminality was discovered but for the satisfaction of the public it Is best that the coroner’s verdict left no doubt on the score. On March 27th of this year, or just four weeks ago today, a marriage 11cehse was issued to Ray Carlson Casey, son of John Casey, of Fair Oaks, and Hazel May* Helsel, daughter of Albert Helsel, of the same place. They were married that day and returned to Fair Oaks. The next morning the young bride presented the youthful husband with a daughter. It weighed only 3% pounds and for a time was very weakly, but during the past'two weeks seemed to be gaining in strength and weight. The baby slept in bed with Its parents and at about 4:30 o’clock this Monday morning the parents awoke and found the baby dead. "The mother’s gown was saturated at the breast where the life’s blood of the babe had oozed out from the body. The coroner was called and Dr. Fyfe, of Wheatfield, who happened to be in Fair Oaks, was called in to assist with the inquest. Neighbors and others were given an opportunity to testify, to see if there was any indication at all that the child had been murdered, but there was no evidence, and the coroner was convinced that the, death was accidental and so rendered his verdict. The mother is 19 years of age and the father is only 20. He is employed as a section hand and is a steady young man of good repute. The baby’s death in so terrible a manner is a great shock to the parents and the entire community. The funeral is to be held Tuesday.

Cora Schultz Asks Divorce From Her Husband In Northwest.

John Schultz, formerly of Union township, who is now said to be in North Dakota, has been made a defendant in a divorce suit. His wife, Cora Schultz, through her attorneys, Dunlap & Parkinson, has filed a complaint, alleging that he deserted her last November. It also charges that he was habitually during the last year that they lived together and that he failed to properly provide for herself and child and that he was guilty of gross neglect. She sets forth that he cursed her, threatened to strike her and shortly before their separation threatened to kill her. The complaint alleges that since his departure the wife has been compelled to sell their household furniture to provide a living for herself and little son 6 years old. The complaint states that the defendant owns real estate in North Dakota valued at $3,000, and the wife asks a decree of divorce and alimony..

Condon Will Case Argued Saturday; Decision Withheld.

Saturday was about all devoted to oratory in the court room. Elmore Baroe for the defendant Condons, argued a motion for a new trial, and spoke for about three and. a half hours. Attorney Newton was here from Winchester and spoke against the granting of the new trial. Judge Hanley withheld his decision in order to give some further study to the legal points of the case. He will probably decide the matter Tuesday or Wednesday. N. Littlefield and Rev. G. H. Clarke have returned from their trip to Hamilton, N. Dak., where the latter purchased a quarter section of land, only a mile and a quarter from Hamilton. It is an improved farm and is all under cultivation. The minister is well pleased with the northern country and thinks in all his travels he has not seen a country that was more attractive than it is near Hamilton. They saw J. Doss Norman while there. Mr. Norman and family moved from Larimore this spring to J r K. Davis’ farm of 480 acres right at the edge of Hamilton. Doss is splendidly pleased there and thinks Mr. Davis made a good trade of his Barkley township land. Harvey Davisson lives only a mile and a half from town. He also has a fine place and is greatly pleased. They did not see John T. Murray, but it Is understood that Mr. Murray made rather an unfortunate trade there and will be unable to conclude the purchase of the farm and will lose what he had invested, which donsisted of his property traded in, Just north of Rensselaer.

Rabies All Over Indiana Says Monthly Board of Health Bulletin.

J. P. Simonds, secretary of the bacteriological laboratory, has the following to say about rabies in Indiana in the monthly health bulletin for the month of February, Just issued: “The situation in regard to rabies in Indiana is more serious than it has been for many months. During January Negri bodies were found in the brains of eight animals and in February in the brains of eleven. During these two months at least ten persons were bitten by dogs found to be rabid. Twenty-five or thirty dogs, besides some hogs, cattle, and three horses were also reported to have been bitten. These eighteen positive cases came from fifteen counties. These counties are arranged in four distinct groups. In the extreme north are §t. Joseph and Laporte, from which four positive heads were received. White, Carroll, Clinton and Tippecanoe counties formed a second badly infected district. A large number of dogs have been bitten in the first three counties The examination of brains from cases in Tippecanoe has been done at the laboratory of Purdue University and we have no definite data in regard to the number examined. Newspaper reports Imply that the situation in and around Lafayette has been serious.”

Mrs. J. W. Sever left Sunday morning for Moline, 111., whSre she will visit for about two weeks before starting for her home at Oakesdale, Wash., about 44 miles from Spokane. Mrs. Sever’s husband is a brother of Mrs. A. S. Laßue, and she visited here several days last week, following a visit since Christmas with relatives at Marion and other places. Her former home was near Oxford, but herself and husband moved to Washington 22 years ago. It is possible that Miss Belle Laßue may accompany her aunt to Washington on her return trip

The Jordan Dramatic Co., which visited Rensselaer every Friday night for thirteen weeks and proved to be one of the best theatrical attractions Rensselaer ever had, will not be here this week, and, in fact, may not again return for awhile, although they may be back next week with one of George Ade’s plays. They have an offer to appear in stock in a Cincinnati theatre during the summer months and may accept it. Their presentation of Damon and Pythias last Friday night gave fair satisfaction. Mr. Wynn as Damon and Mr. Gordon as Pythias were very strong and Miss Fairchild as Colapthe was also very clever. The supporting cast was very good, but the play is too difficult to master with a short time for rehersal, and it is probable that many other plays of this excellent company hair** been much more appreciated. The attraction for this week is a musical comedy, entitled " ‘Them’ Henderson Kids.” It will be at the Ellis theatre Saturday night. Musical comedies have pleased here when they were good and we have had a few very good ones and also, a few of the other sort. This one comes to us under the direction of the International Amusement Co., after it has played a return date in Newcastle and also played in the ten thousand towns all over the state. Manager- Ellis has confidence in the references and believes “ ‘Them’ Henderson Kids” will be one of the best musical comedies that has visited Rensselaer.
