' He told his twelve-year-old son to milk the cows, feed the horses,, slop the pigs, hunt up the eggs, feed the calves, catch' the colt and put it in the stable; cut some wood and split the kindlings, stir the cream, pump fresh water in the creamery after supper, and be sure to study your lesson well before you go to bed. Then he went to the farmers’ club to discuss the question, “How to keep boys at home.’’ * JHo remonstrance was filed from Union township and that township becomes automatically “wet” Monday, May Ist There is no application for a saloon license, however, and it is probable that an applicant would be confronted by a remonstrance a month later if he did apply. All other townships in the county are “wet” also where a remonstrance has not been filed, although until the court interprets the Proctor law there will probably be no license granted In. townships with a less population than 1,0001. The Republican was probably misinformed, although unintentionally, about John T. Murray’s North Dakota land deal. According to a reputable gentleman, familiar with the conditions, Mr. Murray was not deceived at all in the transaction he made. He traded his property just north of Rensselaer for a farm near Hamilton N. Dak., on which there was a mortgage. He knew It, but the mortgage was not enough to worry him greatly. He went to that state expecting to farm his own place and also the large farm purchased by William Baker. After being out there for a time he found that It would require so much stock and the prices were so high that he gave up the idea of farming the place and rented his ! own farm out and went to work by the month. His son Harry did the same thing. Doss Norman took the Baker place to farm and Mr. Murray and Harry expected to farm for themselves another year, and he has no thought of giving up his own farm.

MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGES IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE.

„L w - In. Joseph A. Laces Alleged Neglect Aad Asks Alimony la Sun of It seems that Mr. arid tors. Joseph A. Lucas, of Unloft township, who were the ehlef prosecuting witnesses In the case of the State vs. Arthur M. Robbins, the Chicago automobilist, are not getting along very harmoniously, although their attitude toward one another while the trial did not indicate their troubles. Before leaving Rensselaer for Indianapoltß Thursday, where Mrs. Lucas said she would Visit for some time, she filed an application for divorce from her husband through her attorney, A. JHalleck. The complaint is rather sensational, although the charges are not very specific. Mrs Lucps alleges that she was married to Jim defendant in Indianapolis tinued to live with him until April 27, 1911, that being the day of her departure for Indianapolis, and the day following the trialJn Which they worked together for the conviction of Robbins. The complaint says that the defendant had told the plaintiff that they could no longer live together and that either one or the other should leave, and she therefore returned to her Indianapolis home. The plaintiff alleges that when they were married She had about $4,000 and contrary to her advise and desire her husband invested it in incumbered farm land in Union township, Jasper county, Indiana. That they moved to the farm in 1910 some time he worked on the farm and remained at home with her the greater part of the time. But during the fall, the complaint continues r the ant began making trips to Indianapolis and remaining away several days at a time. She asserts that the house they occupied is some distance removed from other houses and that she was left alone and neglected during the period shortly preceding the birth of baby boy on Nov. 9th and following the birth and before she had recovered. The plaintiff charges .that she has been told and believes that her husband has been seen in company with other and divers women at parties and theatres in Indianapolis and that he lavishes money on them while denying her the things needed for their home. ■j She says that the condition of their financial affairs worries her and that they will lose their farm unless the defendant changes hisways and husbands his resources, and pays the taxes and keeps np the interest She charges that when, she tried to talk with the defendant about these things and about his visits to Indianapolis he has become angered and morose and refused to be frank and fair with her. * She asks that the bonds of matrimony be severed, that she be granted the care and custody of their seven-months-old son, Joseph V. Lucas, and alimony in the Sum of $4,000.

Aged Darkey Who Never Slept Died at Hospital In Logansport

Rensselaer people who have passed through or entered Logansport over the Panhandle railroad will probably remember the old negro newsboy and will be interested in the following account of him published following his death, by the Logansport Reporter: Old ‘‘Uncle’' Allen is no more. The aged colored news vender who had been a familiar figure at the Panhandle station and about the streets since 1886, died last evening at St. Joseph’s hospital, where he had been confined for the past week or ten days. There was perhaps no better known character in Logansport than he, and it is an undisputed fact that there is no man in Logansport who was so widely known throughout the country as “Uncle” Allen. His shrill cry, “Chicago papers; Chicago papers; Chicago papers; shaw papers,” was familiar to every trainmaif"on the Panhandle system. Almost every official on the Pennsylvania system from division tendent to President McCrea, knew the old man personally, and had a friendly greeting for him whenever passing through the city. He was so well liked that several years ago when an order was Issued abolishing news venders from the stations along the Pennsylvania system, by special permission of the high moguls, he Was the only one of the big army permitted to remain. *

He was always courteous, spoke pleasantly and cheerfully to every one, and though crippled with rheumatism during the last few years of his life, he never complained. He was up until long after midnight, and was up before the birds. Asked when he slept, he replied: “I suah Jest cyan’t sleep good; feel better Jest potterin’ ’round.” When asked why he did not quit work, he replied: “Es I cudn’t sell mah papers I’d jea’ die.” “Uncle” Allen was born on a plantation in Lynchburg, Va. Just how old he was, he never knew, but it is estimated that he was about ninety. When just a boy the whole family was put on the auction block and he and a twin brother were sold to a planter named Felix Allen, who lived in Tennessee. His parents were - sold to a planter who resided in the south, and after leaving Lynchburg, he never saw them again.

Monticello and Monon “Dry;” Reynolds to Have One Saloon.

Temperance was generally successful in the elections Thursday. In White county everything went “dry” but Honey Creek township, including the town of Reynolds. Monticello, Monon, Wolcott, Brookston, Chalmers and Idaville continued a temperance regime. Reynolds is a German center and it was expected there would be no doubt about its going “dry.” its saloon majority was only 15. The Monticello Herald pointed out that since the saloons went out of Reynolds almost three years ago the bank deposits there have increased $42,631.60 or about 65 per cent It is unfortunate for Reynolds that the saloons are to be returned. The little town has improved so much during the past two years that it seems a saloon will be a blotch oh the otherwise pretty little town. Monon’s majority for temperance was 180. Monticello’s was 98 and Wolcott’s 88. One unit ih Franklin county, three in Jackson county and ode in Whitley county voted “dry.” Reynolds was the only wayward Unit in the fetate Tuesday. It still looks like 65 per cent of the people of the state are against the licensed saloon, but their will was overriden by a legislature that -was dominated by the brewers, and supported by a governor who three years ago was posing as a temperance man.

Monticello Must Pay Judgment In Favor of Mrs. Daniel Condo.

Monticello Democrat. The judgment in favor of Mrs. Daniel Gondo against the Town of Monticello has been affirmed by the appellate court. This is the case in which Mrs. Condo obtained a judgment of S7OO for injuries sustained in falling from the fill across Brearly’s Run on South Main street.
