EDWARD FAWLEY BEAT UP HIS WIFE

fib* Visits Him at tbe Jail This Afternoon and is Badly Beaten Up. f-4 Edward Pawley, who was sentenced to serve a term of almost a year In the county jail for an assault committed oh John Stowers, of Pair Oaks, this afternoon shamefully beat up his wife, who had called at his request at the jail. Pawley was in the corridor and grabbed his wife and struck her several times. It was necessary to have a physician treat her injuries. Pawley injured his hand slightly, probably by hitting it against the bars of the jail. He claims that she attacked him, but.no credence is given this statement by Sheriff Hoover. Pawley would probably have been paroled next wefek had this incident not occurred. Mrs. Hoover, wife of the sheriff, heard the screams of Mrs. Pawley and locked Fawlew in jail. - .

UNION TOWNSHIP MAY BE DIVIDED

Numerously Signed Petition to Be Presented to the Commissioners Asking Division. W. R. Wood and other citizens of Union township will present a petition to the commissioners M on day asking that Union township be cut in two east and west in the center, each township to contain 28 sections, and that two townships be made out of one. Por years North and South Union have not bee nable ito agree on many matters,«their interests not being mutual. The new law providing for a high school in townships having certain qualifications, and the agitation in North Union for such a school, is responsible for the steps that have been taken for the division of the township. North Union wants a high school. South Union prefers to patronize the Rensselaer high school. Such a division of the township has been talked of in the past, but no action other than talk has heretofore resulted. Up to date the petition has been signed by 171 of the largest taxpayers out of a total voting population of 280. ■ Whether North Union wH? oppose such a division remains to be seen. Inasmuch as the new township will have to stand, any increased expense that might result from making two townships out of one, if a majority of the citizens of the township are in favor of the division, there will probably be no serious objection from the rest of the county, if the commissioners grant the prayer of the petition.

ALUMNI BANQUET LARGELY ATTENDED

1 Many Graduates of Former Tears Gathered to Welcome Class of 1913 into the Fold. The last of the commencement week events was held Friday night. It was the banquet given by the Alumni Association of the Rensselaer high school to the class of 1913, and it taxed the floor space of the armory to provide table space for ;he banqueters. The graduates’ ;able occupied the center of the hall and seated at this table were 24 of i;he 29 graduates, five being absent for various reasons. Superintendent and Mrs. Wm. P. Clark were also at this table. The alumni were at ;ables surrounding the center, neaty arranged. The ladies of the Christion church served the banqueters and many compliments have been paid them upon the way the serving was conducted. Interspersed with the feasting several toasts were delivered. C. Arthur Tuteur was the toastmaster and made a good one, having some real witty things to offer in the introduction of each of his “worldstartling all-star performers.” The toasts were all very spicy and each speaker produced ripples of merriment throughout their recital. The humor was not without flashes of wit in which Toastmaster Tuteur and the various speakers had a combat of sharp repartee, very amusing to the hearers. After the banqueting and toasting had concluded the tables were cleared away and dancing followed and even the very warm evening did not lessen the terpsichorean ardor and the Barley orchestra, of Logansport, was kept busy playing until about 2:30 Saturday morning.

GRADUATES GRADED TO SHOW QUALITIES

Scholarship and Other Items Enter Into Consideration In Certificate Given Each. A new custom was inaugurated in the Rehsselaer high school upon the graduation of the class of 1913. Attached to each diploma was a certificate stating the standing of the bearer in each of the following five items: Scholarship, Effort, General Efficiency, Physical Efficiency. Each item was reckoned on the basis of 100%. The two who ranked highest when the per cents were averaged were Florence Ryan and Alleen Allman. The two who ranked next were Minnie Kessinger and Pauline Sayler. These were followed closely by Nelle Parker. The two who ranked next after Miss Parker were also girls. The next group included one boy. The boys of the class outnumbered the girls, but the girls out-ranked them. The lowest rank in the class was assigned to a boy. The next lowest was assigned to a girl. It Is the plan to continue this custom. The ordinary diploma is not sufficiently significant. It makes no differentiation among the graduates when as a matter of fact there is quite a difference. It is hoped that in the future students will aspire to a good record on their certificate Instead of having before themselves simply the ambition to pass and get a diploma. Because In life it is such an important matter, it is the intention J;o lay much stress on the item of physical efficiency. It Is hoped that this fact will serve as a stimulus to the young people to take a deeper Interest In their physical well-being. Instruction in such matters will be offered by the school and a certain amount of supervision Instituted, such as dental examination, chest measuring, weighing, etc. This is a part of the general movement towards making education more efficient in the affairs of everyday life.
