It is full,,of good things for the assembly and makes a very creditable appearance. Luther Brown, proprietor of the garage, has traded his business to Geo. Wilder, of five miles east of Wolcott, for the 80-acre farm on which he now resides. Wilder is in possession of the garage business and Brown will get the farm as soon as it can be vacated.

Attention! Eastern Star.

All officers and members of the Eastern Star Chapter are informed that there will be a called meeting for Tuesday night, July 22nd, for the purpose’ftof initiation. A> full attendance of members is desired. Mrs. HATTIE HENKLE, Worthy Matron. Sergeant Jerry B. Garland returned Friday evening from the school for officers and first and quartermaster sergeants at Fort Benjamin Harrison. He reports.a splendid school and received benefit from the instruction. It is probable that Sergeant Garland will be made a member of the state team that will compete with other teams at the national matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. His shooting entitled him to be a member of this team and he had complied with all other conditions but had been protested because he failed to attend the battalion match at Parr. This reason was insufficient to debar him, so it has been decided, and the adjutant-general of the state wrote that he was very badly needed on the team and would probably be given a place. , Claude Hickman, of Winamac, age eighteen, killed himself when explaining to boys bow easy It is to commit suicide. He pointed a rifle at his eye, and it was discharged, the bullet penetrating his brain.

He was arrested then by Constable Parks on a charge of assault and battery and later in the evening filed a continuance in this case also. He was represented by Attorney W. H. Parkinson. Both / cases ihad been set for trial at 1 o’clock this Saturday afternoon, but the continuance was granted and the cases set for trial in Squire Bussell’s court in Hanging Grove township at 1 o’clock Thursday.

Will Take Jas. W. McEwen To the Asylum Monday.

Sheriff Hoover went to the home of J. W. McEwen, the aged editor whose mind gave. way several months ago, this morning, and found Mrs. Francis Bostwick, the daughter of Mr. McEwen, quite anxious to do the right thing and she asked that be might be left at home for a few days. Sheriff Hoover agreed to this and it was arranged to take him away next Monday. Sunday the sheriff will take him an automobile ride and try to make thing® pleasant for the old gentleman. v It is unfortunate that Mrs. McEwen and her daughter look upon the action of the clerk and the sanity board as they do, for the action is taken for their welfare and that of Mr. McEwen. It is not improbable that he will be restored to a much better mental condition after a period at the asylum. Mrs. McEwen continues in poor health.

During the past twelve months they played at“the Palace Theatre, London; and at Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, Edinberg and Glaseow, over the Moss Empire circuit, the largest and best theatrical agency in the world. Everywhere their act was received rapturously and they were offered bookings that Would have kept them abroad for several years, 'but preferred coming back to America, where both had expected to rest until they sailed for Australia on August 26th, but they were in demand the minute * they reached New York on June 6th and kept busy until their arrival here. During the time they were abroad Mrs. Reynolds’ (NeJlie Donegan’s) mother died, and this caused their abrupt leaving of Berlin and a delay of almost a month in their engagements. Mis. Reynolds’ mother was Mrs. Dunedin, whose (husband manages the famous Dunedin troupe of bicycle performers. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds will leave for Australia on August 26th, sailing from San Francisco on that date on the Oceanic Steamboat Go’s, ship Ventura.

Dr. Gray Had Met Victim on Street in Bloomfield and Attacked Her With Knife. Indianapolis, July 18.—Governor Ralston today granted a parole to Dr. E. Gray, of Bloomfield, who has been serving a life sentence for the murder of a woman. Dr. Gray was convicted in 1899. His crime was one of the most brutal in the criminal history of the state. He met the woman on the street in Bloomfield and attacked her with a surgeon’s knife, stabbing her four times. Two members of the board of pardons recommended the parole, but Chairman A. D. Thomas, after agreeing with the majority, changed his mind and informed the governor :he did not believe Dr. Gray Should be granted clemency. . » In the parole order Governor Ralston sets out the reasons for his action at length. He points out that at the time of the crime Dr. Gray was addicted to the excessive use of intoxicating liquors and drugs. Letters and petitions from citizens and court officials of Greene county stated that Dr. Gray was thought to be mentally unbalanced and irresponsible when the crime was committed. As to this point medical experts have disagreed. Gray had been cured of the liquor and drug, habit Ten of the jurors who convicted him and the prison authorities also petitioned for his release. The prisoner’s father. Dr. J. M. Grfty, a highly respected citizen of Bloomfield, has also been untiring In behalf of his son. Dr. Gray is now fifty-two years old. His wife, who was living at the time of the crime, has died. Before contracting the drug and liquor habits he was a physician and surgeon of ability. In his younger days he served the government among the Indians in the west and he made the request that in the event of his parole be be permitted to go west, where he is unknown. The board of pardons recommended that this request be denied, and Governor Ralston followed Its suggestion.

MINERAL SPRINGS RACE MEET ENDS

Betting Was Lively Friday and Large Crowd of Real Sports Attended From City. Twelve hundred people, mostly from Chicago and practically all of the sporting gentry, put in Friday at the Mineral Springs' race track. It was the next to the last day at the races and a tip had gone out that the watchers whom Governor Ralston had posted there had withdrawn and the “spenorts” made the; most of it. Billy Birch, in the Chicago Rec-I ordVHesrald, has the following ,to I say about the races: • Racing at the Mineral Springs track will come to a close this afternoon and in all probability this will he the last race meeting to be held near Chicago. Although the track’s backers were loath to admit that the chances of reopening the course August 21st, as originally planhed, were slim, law-suits may end the club’s career, even if the governor does not act. Two Porter county men who were responsible for building the sidewalk which runs from the railroad tracks to the entrance of the grounds claimed not to have been paid, although they were promised the money tonight. Besides this several horse owners who did not get the money due them in purses last season have announced that they intend to carry their case to the courts. So far during the present meeting all of the purses have been paid promptly, but several horse owners wtho intended keeping their horses at the track until the next meeting changed their plans, yesterday following Governor Ralston’s statement that troops may be called to end the next meeting. Nearly every person connected with the track from tout to owner refuses to “lay” against theVgovernoT when he coupled with the “bangtails” in the betting. Yesterday, despite the fact that the sheriff of Porter county and the prosecuting attorney had several extra men.on hand to stop betting, the bookies worked in the open. Money was passed without any fear of the officials'and they had a profitable day, too. They registered what was probably the biggest killing of the meeting when Wood Dove failed to go over in the fifth, for th£ daughter of Ounard and Grail was backed heavily to win by the talent '

ATHLETICS EXPECT TO DEFEAT MONON

Local Ball Team Gan See No Obstacle In the Way of Cleaning Up on Sunday Visitors. / A real ball team will be here from Monon Sunday and they come with a big string of victories hanging , to Manager Blair’s belt, if he Iras a belt, at least they are hanging some place, for the Monon team has cleaned about everything up to last Sunday, when they were blanked herymnus' u in.guv. ToiT oughtn’ttol har- yourself think so. That kind o «of moral attitude is a luxury. Woil can cutlvate it because they dJ b for have to get the world and fl J lon’t They keep indoors and get taken cl kens -of, and the queer ideas they ha keen don’t hurt anybody. But men—” \ [Bar •He stopped, .realizing that perha) I top he was talking too frankly. He H [ see long known that Rose harbored thj |hen Utopian theories on -duty and hoa to a which he thought very nice and 1 for her and which went gracef= tehe with her character as a shelt< of cherished, and unworldly maiden was his desire to see what effect sjsfe holes occasioned 1- ~by~ "the absence of Conn, Denniston and Robinson in the Lowell game will be closed up as these players will be on hand. Conn is a utility player of ability and his hitting and that of Denniston helped us to two previous victories., Robinson has played a very good fielding garito with one exception, although he has failed to hit the ball with much dependability. He will be at his old post at third sack. Friday afternoon the Naps gave the Athletics, who were out for practice, some good work, and it is not improbable that one or two of the Naps will be in uniform to play part of the game if their services are needed. Ladies will be required to pay tomorrow, the management having decided that all the money taken in will be needed. Monon gets a guarantee of $25, while other expenses runs the total up to about S4O. Sunday of next week the Athletics go to Remington.

Newman Learned More About J. C. Thompson’s Trouble.

Harry Newman, who went to Chicago Thursday after learning that J. C. Thompson, a former International Harvester man,' was under arrest, returned home that night. He djd not get to see Thompson, who was in jail, but learned something more concerning him. Newman is inclined to think that the $75 he lost by endorsing Thompson at a local bank, is gone forever. Thompson seems to have been engaged in about every form of fraud and graft an<L there are already something like fifteen charges against him. The woman he married traveled for a perfumery company, and by means of correspondence ahd order blanks which she had he defrauded the company she traveled tor out of money estimated at from S3OO to SSOO. He stopped at Chicago hotels and defrauded the Auditorium out of SSO and the Lorene hotel out of $75. He was writing checks in payment for goods purchased at stores and there were quite a number of charges against him for frauds of this kind. When arrested Thompson was -just arranging to stop at another hotel. He assumed surprise when arrested and said there was just a misunderstanding. He was very cool and indicated one of two things, that he is either mentally weak or a nervy crook. IVfy-. Newman arranged with a friend in Chicago to see Thompson and try to find out something about his relatives. The. people who have been defrauded would sooner get their money than to send Thompson over the road and Mr. Newman hopes to get his $75 back in this manner.

Dr. Hurty Discovers New Kind of "Cherry Pie.”

Dr. J. N. Hurty, pure food special- / Ist and health servant of Indiana, sojourned at a Gary restaurant for a meal. Cherry pie and buttermilk were on the menu. The place was extraordinarily clean. It was also equipped with tile floor, tile walls and wps “sweet and clean” throughout, as Dr. Hurty expressed it. He took some cherry pie and some buttermilk. He bit into the cherry pie and 4t tasted good. He bit further. This time his teeth met resistance. Investigation disclosed two watermelon seeds. More investigation. The pie contained a great amount of watermelon pulp. Additional investigation. A Chicago genius had devised the scheme of making Cherry pies from watermelon pulp. But for the little seed the pies still would be coming to Indiana. Dr. Hurty said that under the law he couldn’t do more than warn the proprietor of the shop for the first offense. The proprietor asserted with asperity and ascerbity, to quote Dr. Hurty correctly,' that there was nothing in that pie but cherries. Then he threw she burden on ChK cago and its chats. )
