THE TRUTH ABOUT COLLARS.

Writer In Munsey’* Magazine and The ■crap Book Tells Some InterestingTacts About Men’s Vockwoar. Few meqknow the intensely interesting story there is to tell about the average collar. In the October Issues of Munsey's Magazine and the Scrap Book, Foster Gilroy contributes “The Stbry of a Collar,” in which he says: “Assuming that a collar is a trifle, there is one manufacturer of collars in this country who has dignified a trifle by a degree of thought that at once raises a man’s neckwear to the 1 importance that it deserves. “This manufacturer is Geo. J. Ide & Company, of Troy, New York, and the particular collars turned out’ from the firm’s great manufactories are known wherever men wear collars as the ‘lde Silver Brand.’ “A collar seems a simple thing—but in reality there are at least thirty-five separate and distinct operations in its manufacture. “Since every step is susceptible to the vagaries of human nature, the question of collar-perfection is reduced to a consideration of how Carefully each operation is performed. “I saw an ‘lde Silver-Brand’ collar made from die-cutting to boxing. If I were a manufacturer, footing a payroll, I would probably be fussy enough to try to save some money on some of the operations that an ‘lde Silver’ collar goes through; but the ‘lde Silver Brand’ makers have different ideas. “They’ve established a collar-ideal, and every box that leaves their factories has to square up with this standard.” ik you are interested 'in collars —and what man is not?—write to Geo. P. Ide & Co., Dept. M., Troy, N. Y., and a copy of this interesting collar story will be sent you without cost.

Gay Old Man Who Wanted Widow Sued for Divorce.

Many readers of Rensselaer papers will reCall the escapade of Adam D. Scott, an old man from Monon, who about three years ago annoyed a number of Rensselaer widows and tried to force an entrance into the house of Mrs. John L. Smith and was finally landed in jail. Scott did not come to Rensselaer after that time but niarried a widow at Galveston last New Year’s day. He is now a divorce defendant and the Logansport Reporter has the following to say about the complaint filed by his wife: In a sensational complaint which she filed in the circuit court Wednesday, Lucejta D. Scott, of Galveston, asks divorce from her husband, Adam D. Scott, and permission to resume her maiden name, Lucetta DeHaven. The couple was married on New Year’s day of the present year, and separated on April Fools’ day. The, plaintiff says that her husband was all right for about two weeks, then he began a treatment of abuse which was beastial ’in its character, and showed that he considered her as a thing to be used for any indecency his depraved mind might suggest, rather than as a wife and companion. She says that he was gruff and his actions were such that her heart was always instilled with fear and she could not sleep at night. She charges that although he lived in her own house, ate at her own table the food that her own money had bought, he ridiculed her cooking and belittled her skill in housework. She says that he falsely accused her of acts too bad to put in public record, and that after their separation he made two visits to the office of her attorney and reiterated these charges. She claims that he had sent her threatening letters, making ugly charges to compel her to purchase her release by large sums of money. She states that she will prove when the case comes to trial that she is not guilty of the acts which her husband has charged. He at present resides in Monon.

The Republican about two weeks ago in reporting the finding of a horse and buggy on the road near Tom Cain’s farm, mentioned some slight trouble between Mr. Cain and Sheriff Hoover, relating to the reward which was supposed to have been offered. The article indicated that the trouble was occasioned by each man wanting the reward. Mr. Cain informs us that we were misinformed and that the trouble was occasioned because he wanted to restore' the rig to its owner without any reward, while Sheriff Hoover and his deputy and the sheriff and deputy from Newton county wanted to get a reward if they could. Mr. Cain took the rig in after the sheriff" had left it at the Luers farm and Mr. Luers had turned it loose. He said it had cost him no effort and very little feed and he considered it his duty to restore it to the unfortunate owner without cost; the same as he would expect another farmer to do for him if his rig was stolen. He says that the officers were rampant for a reward and that his objection brought. on the altercation between himself and the sheriff. Mr. Cain’s motive seems to have been an entirely honorable one and he deserves credit-for the stand he took.
