Weatherman Forecasts Light Frost for Northern Indiana.

The weatherman has forecasted a light frost for the north and central portions of Indiana for tonight. The cold rain of Friday Was expected to produce frost at the clearing period but today opened up slightly warmer and with the sun shining brightly. Blossoming fruit trees give evidence of an abundant crop of all kinds of fruit this year and it will certainly be a great blessing if killing frosts do not occur.

Obituary of an Aged and Respected Newton County Man.

Kentland Enterprise. Isaac VanDoren Speck was born at Eaton, Prebble county, Ohio, May 24, 1833. His parents were Jacob and Sarah Speck, who later moved to Miami county, this state. In the spring of 1851 Mr. Speck and mother cpsos to Newton county, buying fin eighty-acre farm in the northwest povtion of Jefferson township, which has been the family home ever since. Mrs. Speck died in 1876. , Mr. Speck, on coming to this county, entered actively into farming and stock raising, and to the small farm he added acre by acre until his landed possessions included 1440 acres. Six years ago he sold to A. D. Washburn an undivided half interest in 800 acres. The remainder is left to the estate, together with a alrge amount of personal property. Mr. Speck’s long residence in the county, and his active life gave him a large acquaintance, and his sterling honesty and-extended business relations gave him a standing in the community as a prominent citizen. His experience as a pioneer of this county forms an interesting chapter in local history. Mr. Speck was never married but leaves, as we are informed, three sets of heirs, Frank Speck, of this place, a nephew; Mrs. Dora Speck Place, a niece residing at Denver, Ind., and the members of the McFarland family, one of whom is Theodore McFarland, who has lived with Mr. Speck for a number of years.

A Play With a Good Moral.

Coming to the Ellis Theatre, Wednesday, April 30, the most talked of play of the generation, ‘The Straight Road,” one of the most beautiful stories of “Home Sweet Home” ever written. Its theme deals with an all absorbing question,' how to keep the boys and girls, fathers and mothers of tomorrow from responding to the flare and glare of the city. How to keep them in the little country home, in the free open environment of the country home life of which nature makes men and women who live, love, think and conquer. It grips its audience with dramatic interest, and turns over pages of memory recalling once again those scenes made immortal. To see this great play is a treat not to be missed by any one.

Coming to the Ellis Theatre for one night only, Wednesday, April 30, J. Harvey Mack, and his excellent company in his new play ‘The Straight Road.” The author of this beautiful play has shown great wis dom in equalizing the elements of comedy and pathos with bright lines, humorous situations and unexpected bits of business, thereby relieving the seriousness of the main theme. The pretty story is that of a little country home, the mother, father, sisters and brother, a true heart story. It is a play that holds, its audience from the rise to the last fall of the curtain. Mr. Mack, who plays the part of Bob Howard, the town sport, is a part that you will want to see him In more than once, and those thait see the play will leave the theatre as ardent admirers of the star and play as thousands in every state who are now numbered as such. It is a play that the audience almost feels the same emotions as those on the opposite side of the footlights are supposed to have. Their sympathies are with those who need sympathy and they are elevated at the final outcome of the piece

Mrs. Orpha D. Burns, who had long withheld filing an action for divorce from her husband, Hugh Burns, who tried to murder her in the depot at Schneider, has now begun action in the Jasper circuit court, a complaint being filed this Saturday morning.' The complaint alleges that for six years he has been an habitual drunkard and common gambler. For five years last past wholly failed and refused to make any provision for the sup.port of her, was lazy, indolent, and vicious, And although a competent stone and brick mason, and in good health, wholly failed and refused to work at any employment more than a day or two at a time, but spent his time .in drinking and carousing in saloons, and was frequently absent from home two or three days and nights at a time, gambling and' playing poker for money, in various dives and resorts in Chicago, and he not only gambled away money which he earned himself, but also earnings of the plaintiff, whenever by persuasion or threat he was able to procure them. That he has frequently been guilty of Cruel and inhuman treatment; that he frequently cursed and abuesd her, and called her vile and indecent names; that he wbuld fre quently come home drunk, and at such times was violent and abusive, and struck the plaintiff and threatened to kill her; that since their separation the plaintiff has been compelled to work for her own support, and the defendant has during said time frequently sent to the plaintiff and to her relatives, through the U. S. mails, or by messengers, numerous threatening and abusive letters seeking to compel the plaintiff or her relatives to furnish him with money to spend in gambling, drinking and carousing in saloons and immoral resorts, although he is a strong, able-bodied man and capable of earning $5 to $8 per day at his trade, if he would remain sober, and he is contributing to the support of no person other than himself.. Plaintiff asks. for divorce andv right to resume her maiden name, Orpha D. Gleason.

Here is an Old One Again Going the Rounds.

A Goodland man who answered advertisements in cheap “story papers” has had some interesting experiences. He learned that by sending one dollar to a Yankee he could get a cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he did. It was to “take the pledge and keep it.” Later on he sent fifty fcwo-cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out—- “ Just take hold of the tops and pull.” Being young, he wished to marry, and sent thirty-four one-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When the answer came it read, “Sit down on a pan of dough.” It wa»feA little rough, but he was a patient man and thought he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered read, “How to double your money in six months.” He was told to convert his money into bills, “fold them,” and he would see his money doubled. Next he sent for twelve useful household articles and he got a “package of needles.” He was slow to learn, so he sent one dollar to find out “how to get rich.” “Work like the devil and never spend a cent.” And that stopped him, but his brother wrote to find out how to write a letter without pen or ink. He was told to “use a lead pencil.” He paid one dollar to learn how to live without work, and was told on a postal card to “Fish for suckers as we do.”
