Endeavor to Give Market.

The Endeavor Society of the Christian church will hold a market Saturday, Dec. 6, at Rowen & Kiser’s store. Patronize them. Attorney Gifford, of Tipton, who came here today, was in Indianapolis Tuesday and thought he was going to witness some excitement for a time. A wagon loaded with milk appeared on the street and was at once surrounded by men and* boys, who would probably have unhitched the horses and assaulted the driver but for the timely arrival of the mounted police, who dispersed the crowd and protected the wagon and driver. Since the police are firing into mobs that refuse to disperse when ordered and the people know it, only one order for dispersion is usually required. Strangers in the city are warned to keep off the principal streets. Business is paralyzed. Phone 273 for feed, baled hay and straw. Tom -Manley arrived here last night from Keokuk, lowa, for a short visit with his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kepner, and his little daughter, Florence, who has been with her grandparents here for the past four months, during which time Mrs. Manely has been in the lowa state tuberculosis sanitarium at Oakdale. She is now somewhat improved and Mr. Manley will take their little daughter and go to Oakdale the first of the week, and Mrs. Manley will leave the sanitarium §nd go to Keokuk, where they will remain until after the holidays. If she does not seem entirely cured they will probably move to either California or Arizona. One who, having no license and having received money from another with directions to procure intoxicating liquor for him, sends the order to a dealer in another place, is held in Josey vs. State (Ark.) 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 463, to effect a sale which will subject him to punishment, if the one to whom the order is sent places the bottle containing the liquor with that of another customer in a box sent by express directed to both customers, upon the arrival of which the intermediary receives the bottle and delivers it to him, from whom he received the commission. With these cases is a note reviewing the authorities on the question of the place of sale of Intoxicating liquor. After a married life of almost half a century, Mrs. J. A. Crosby, aged 74 years, of Altus, Okla., Friday was granted a divorce from J. M. Crosby, 86 years old.

Ten thousand rounds of rifle and revolver ammunition valued at $25,000, were seized by customs inspectors Friday afternoon aboard tnc steamer Seminole, lying at its pier in New York elty. The Seminole was to sail Saturday for Haiti and San Domingo. The confiscated ammunition was hidden In many different part of the vessel. Albert J. Krabbe, clerk of Lafayette, was married last summer and took a wedding trip, leaving his office in charge of James W. Schooler, then city controller. Examiners who have just gone over Mr. Krabbe’s books find that Schooler got away with $575 while Mr. Krabbe and his bride were on their trip. Mr. Krabbe just learned how expensive his trip was and when the examiners called his attention to the discrepancy in the Schooler records Krabbe wrote a check for $575, saying, “By gum, that was an expensive wedding trip.” Most of the culture of today is misplaced and should be steered back to agriculture.
