Judged from* the following para>graph from The Evening Herald, of Delphi, last Saturday was somewhat of an exception for a “big” day in that town.

The Her-, aid says: ‘The crowd here Saturday was very orderly and the marshal was not called upon to make a single arrest. There was, absolutely no one on the streets who seemed the least bit intoxicated or quarrelsome.” Most Children Have Worms Many mothers think their children are suffering from Indlegstion, headache, nervousness, costiveness, weakness, when they are victims of that most common of all children's ailments—Worms.

South Bend didn't do as well by Billy Sunday as Wilkes-Barre and Columbus did., The collections of the last day of the revival, which all go to the evangelist, amounted to only $10,835. Wilkes-Barre gave Sunday over $22,000 and Columbus gave him $20,000. During his seven weeks* campaign in South Bend Sunday brought about 6,458 conversions. During this time 575,000 persons, according to estimate, heard him preach. , z

u Special Judge Cunningham came from Kentland this morning and opened up the court this afternoon tor the argument in the Ryan ditch case. The sweltering weather is apt to cut down the oratorical tendencies of the attorneys and the dignity of the court room is apt to be disregarded to some extent, while the lawyers discard ties, collars, coats and other things and get right down to, well, to brass tacks. A visit to the court room is apt to cause one to think he had struck a free and easy joint instead of a dignified court room, where a lot of spic and span disciples of Blackstone congregate to adjust the difficulties of the eommon people < .

JAMES HAYNES IS VERY MUCH WANTED

Circular Charges Him With Selling Mortgaged Horses—Deserted Wife and Children Here. The effort that James Haynes made to reform, or perhaps It may be more correctly, stated to say the effort that friends made to reform him, seem to have been wasted. Haynes left Rensselaer some weeks ago,leaving behind his poor wife and several children. His name was coupled with that of a married woman who deserted her husband. Mrs. Haynes and children were taken to Hlinois, where homes are said to have been procured for them.

Now Haynes seems to have returned to his old life and Sheriff Hoover is in receipt of a circular describing him and offering a reward of S3OO for his arrest. He is charged with having sold four mortgaged horses and then skipped out. It is claimed here that . Haynes served a term in the penitentiary for horse or cattle stealing some time ago and various charges were made against him during the time he lived in this county, but he seemed to keep everything under cover if there was any truth in the things told of him. He is the man that had the battle with the game wardens about-three years ago. It was some of his relatives that were charged with chicken stealing and with the shipment of wild game out of the state, and it was a relative of who almost killed a Monticello man in a poker joint. It is said that Haynes accompanied the man to Monticello and was ip the poker room when the trouble started.

C. F. Mansfield thought Haynes would be “on the square” if given a chance and he put him In charge of his large farm, put money in the bank for hjm to check on and gave him his chance to reform. He went along steadily for some time, .but could not hold out. Finally he skipped out and a reckoning showed that he had violated the confidence of the man who wanted to beJiis friend. J The stealing of Frank King's horse was thought by many to be his job, and it is stated that only a day or two after the horse was stolen he passed through Rensselaer one evening. Haynes has the face, the action, and the style of a shrewd criminal, and it is quite probable that he is leading that kind of a life now. His apprehension will probably result in him receiving a long sentence.

Married a Man More Than Twice Her Own Age.

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Chupp this Tuesday afternoon occurred the marriage of Miss Effie Price, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Price, on the C. W.
