Love Pirate, Real Dope Fiend, Reared In Jasper County.

Charles L. Waroe, mental millionaire and bad check artist, who says that he was formerly a resident of McCoysburg, having spent most of his life there, was arrested in Valparaiso Tuesday morning and taken to Fort Wayne to answer charges of having issued fraudulent checks. His bride, formerly Miss Beulah Youse, of Lafayette, accompanied him. The prisoner confessed to the officers on Tuesday evening that he had for the past two yeans been eating and snuffjng opium at the average of a pound a week, or sl6 worth. “That’s the big thing that little Beulah has done for me,” he explained. “She made me promise that I would not take any more of it, and I have kept my promise to her. I’ll never touch any more of that stuff as long as I live.” But during all the examination of the fellow, his disjointed narrative of his life history and his movements during the past few months, led the officers to believe that he was still filled with the drug or that he wa sdemented.

St. Joseph’s College to Play Holy Cross Sunday.

St. Joseph’s College will play its first game of football for the season next Sunday, when Holy Cross of Chicago, will be their opponents. This is also the first game of football the college has played under the coaching of Harry Parker and the game promises to be a good one. The St. Joe boys are filled with confidence. They have been practicing vigorously and are in excellent condition. Coach Parker will devote the remaining days to perfecting them in signal practice and in coaching them in defensive work. In some ways this is looked upon as the first official appearance of ofotball at t. Joseph’s college, where the game was not encouraged for many years. With the increasing attendance at college, however, and with the firmer hold that football has taken in colleges all over the country, it has been recognized by the college faculty and this year a team that looks mighty promising has been developed and Coach Parker is giving them a great work out for the development of speed, nerve, organization and endurance and the best results are anticipated. Sunday’s game, being the first, leaves some uncertainty as to the outcome, but it will furnish the spirit for the ensuing games and it is expected that a great crowd will go out from Rensselaer to witness the game. The game will be called at 3 o’clock.

HOSPITAL BOARD HELD A MEETING

Looked at Plans of Anson Cox and A. Wasson Coen and Authorized Buying O’Connor Lot. Frank E. Lewis, J. D. Allman and L. H. Hamilton of the county hospital board, met Tuesday and discussed the plans for building the new hospital. When Chairman Allman, of the board, issued the call, he had expected to have rough architectural plans from several architects but there were only two sets of plans on hand. One was from Anson Cox, formerly of this city, now of Hammond, and the other was from A Wasson Coen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Coen, formerly of this city. The plans of the latter were somewhat more complete than those of Mr. Cox, but the board took no action, and decided to have another meeting a little later when other plans are promised. C. H. Peck, of Remington, and E. P. Honan, of Rensselaer, were absent from the meeting. Three members, however, constitute a quorum and they authorized the secretary to close a deal for the purchase of the O’Connor lot, just south of the jail. It will probably be two weeks before the board meets again and in the meantime it is probable that members of the board will visit hospitals at Valparaiso and one or two other places.
