GEORGE ADE FEU ASLEEP IN BERLIN

Author-farmer Gives Impressions of Night Life In the Gay German Capital.

A dispatch from Berlin under date of Aug. 10th is as follows: Berlin’s self-assurance that its night life is the merriest and gayest of -any city in Europe suffered a horrible jar this week when George Ade fell asleep in the midst of its ,whirlingest whirl. Mr. Ade and Roger Sullivan, the Democratic boss of Illinois, with former Mayor Hopkins of Chicago, arrived Monday from St. Petersburg. The humorist had telegraphed to the Hotel Adion for a room but on his arrival the manager Insisted on his occupying the imperial suite, which Mr. Ade obligingly took. The Indiana author said he wanted to see if Berlin’s night life was as gay and varicolored as it had been painted and declared he would take three days’ training so as to be able to sample It “I have been a farmer so long,” he said, “I usually go to sleep with the chickens. You say night life is orderly, so I’ll go to sleep an hour later every night for three nights. That will bring my limit to midnight.” Thursday night he declared he was ready to see the town. Here is his verdict. “It’s all very nice, but too slow, boys. It will take more ifian this to keep me awake.” About 1 a. m. in Berlin’s most famous “Palace of Sin,” as the big case is often called, Mr. Ade composed hinjaetf to sleep, murmuring: “I will give you boys, nay, impressions tomorrow.” Mr. Ade arrived in Berlin on Monday from Russia where he had made an extensive tour, visiting Moscow, Warsaw and St Petersburg. As traveling companions on the Russian trip Mr. Ade had Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Sullivan, who met him earlier in the summer in London. Mr. Ade spent the early part of the summer at the Aix-Les-Bains. The Russian trip was taken as an “after cure.” While here Mr. Ade met William H. Crane, who is spending a fortnight in Berlin with Mrs. Crane, after a stay of several weeks at Bad Kissengen, a resort patronized by a large number of American theatrical people this year.

Mentions Visit of Club to the Brook Band Concert.

In concluding an article übout the band concert at Brook, which stated that the crowd was the largest of the season, the Reporter of that place makes the* following mention of ..the Van Rensselaer Club: The Van Rensselaer Club in whose behalf the concert was post? poned came in a body. There were fifteen automobile loads and they seemed to enjoy the performance and those with whom we talked expressed themselves as well pleased with the concert and the afternoon spent at Hazelden Park.

THERE IS ALWAYS A TIME

and time will demonstrate facts,' also quality. It's a guarantee, and it takes good judgment to get the quality, and, time decides the quality or guarantee. Now the Farmer who wants a farm wagon that has all of the above will have to buy a STUDEBAKER farm wagon of 0. A. Roberts. Now this Is true of STUDEBAKER quality—that their wheels will out-do any wagon on the market today, holding the tires. I can show wagons that have been In use for from 12 to 16 years without the tires having to be reset, and with a load of three tons no wagon can run easier than a STUDEBAKER. The best ironed wagon on earth Is a STUDEBAKER. Could give twenty-five other reasons, but these are enough. C. A. Roberts, Agent, Rensselaer, Ind., the capital of the finest county In the state,

SAYS WE OWE NEWTON COUNTY BIG ACCOUNT

Expenses for Change of Venue Cases Are to Be Borne By County Where They Originate.

Newton County Enterprise—Ever since 1903 Newton county has been paying expenses incurred by. reason of changes of venue in cases brought to this county from other counties and getting no renumeration therefor. The law provides that “the county from* Which such change of venue has been or shall be taken shall pay to the county to which such change of venue has’ been or shall be taken all such expenses as have been or shall be incurred by the county to which such change of venue has been or shall be taken, including in criminal cases the expense of keeping the prisoner, if any, and in all cases the fees paid such county to the jury trying the cause and any of the regular panel of jurors not engaged in such trial, allowances to bailiffs and all bther expenses necessarily incurred by sueh county in consequence of such change of venue and the trial of such cause.” Clerk McCurry, having gone carefully over "the records for ten years past, at Judge Hanley’s suggestion, has certified ufffraid allowances due this county from other counties on account of change of venue cases, as follows: Jasper county .$2,210.00 Benton county 680.00 White county 218.00 Lake county 43.00 Total ....$3,151.00 Inasmuch as it is made the duty of county councils to make proper provisions for the payment of such claims taxpayers may Reasonably hope that this county will soon be reimbursed for these expenses paid on account of litigation brought here from other counties. Ton years is a long time between settlements and there is no apparent reason why these matters should not be audited at .the close of each term of court and the matter adjudicated at once. The question also suggests itself why the various sets of state examiners that have visited this county have not reported these delinquencies from other counties?

REPORT MADE TO RAISE WILLIS BOND

Prosecutor Filed New Charge But Justice Sustained Plea In Statement.

Prosecuting Attorney Lbngwell came from Brook Friday afternoon and after making some investigation of the rape charge against James L. Willis decided to file an additional charge against him With the object of havng his bond increased. He made an affidavit himself before Squire Irwin, charging an effort to commit an assault. It had been expected 1 not to serve a warrant for the arrest of Willis until this Saturday morning, but some time .Friday evening there was a report that Willis was planning to leave town and Squire Irwin gave the warrant to Constable Parks and he and officer Critser went to the Willis Lome and placed him under arrest. He at once got into communication with his attorneys, who filed a plea in abatement, setting forth thaFthe original affidavit on which arrest had been made covered also the charge in the affidavit made by Prosecuting Attorney Longwell. The defense also introduced evidence that Mrs. Willis was in a critical condition and that the placng of Willis in jail at this time would doubtless result fatally to his wife. Justice Irwin decided to postpone action until this Saturday morning and Willis was released. This morning he appeared and the court sustained the plea in abatement and thus ended the effort to increase tfie bond. This morning Willis called a real estate agent and placed his garage for sale and it is probable that a sale will be made yet today. A report it that Harve Moore and Wil! Timmons will buy it.

SCANDAL AT CHALMERS RESULTED IN CUTTING

Clandestine Love Affair Resulted In Affray That Is the Talk

Of Little Village.

Lafayette Journal—With his right arm in bandages,. Bruce Spitzer, of Chalmers, went to Monticello Wednesday to institute divorce proceedings against his wife, who is now on her way to Canningsburg, Pa., for an extended visit to relatives. Mr. Spitzer’s trouble began Tuesday evening when he escorted his wife to the milk train, gave her a ticket to this city, checked her trunk and started her on her way to Pennsylvania. After the train left Chalmers, George Ventz, the Chalmers marshal, told Mr. Spitzer that he had seen Vernon Morris, a tile worker, board the train. Mr. Spitzer had been suspicious of Morris and his wife for some time. Securing an automobile and accompanied by Marshal Ventz and A. F. Knepp, Mr. Spitzer came to this city. He ‘ound his wife’s trunk at he Monon station but/ he could not find his wife or Morris. He searched for the couple for hours and, unable to find them, returned to Chalmers vowing that he would not live with his wife any longer. While down town Wednesday morning, Spitzer encountered Morris, who had returned to Chalmers on the early train that morning. He demanded an explanation and Morris, without a word, drew a knife and attacked Spitzer. He struck at him twice and Spitzer warded both blows with his right arm and that member was badly slashed. Spitzer went o the office of Dr. Morris to have his wounds dressed and his assailant left town. Marshal Ventz organized a posse, but Morris spent the day in cornfields and eluded the posse. He left Chalmers yesterday morning and is supposed to have gone to his old home in Virginia, where he is said to have left a wife when he came to Indiana. Mrs. Spitzer left Lafayette early Wednesday morning for Akron, 0., and expects to go from there to Pennsylvania. The affair has been the talk of Chalmers since Tuesday evening.
