COMPANY M NOW HAS A BENEDICT

John E. Robinson, Member of Co. M, at Fort Harrison, Wedded Miss Beulah Kendall Monday. Miss Beulah Kendall, of Rensselaer, and John E. Robinson, son of Mrs. G. M. Robinson and a member of Co. M, now in camp at Fort Harrison, were married in the county court house Monday. They have the distinction of being Rensselaer’s first war bride and soldier-groom. The following was taken from Tuesday’s Indianapolis Star:

An honest-to-goodness war bride, a stalwart soldier in neat-fitting khaki and a versatile reporter who was villain and hero, too, figured in an almost tragic wartime comedy-drama in the Marion county court house and its matrimonial environs yesterday afternoon. The action of tihs thrillitig unphotographed drama in real life began before the desk of Russell P. marriage license clerk in the offices or the county clerk, when John E. Robinson, of Rensselaer, Ind., x a member of Co. M, Third regiment of infantry of the Indiana national guard,' approached Jewett with Beulah E. Kendall, also of Rensselaer, and made application for a marriage license. A wedding that had been planned for a month hence had been haitily afr ranged. R'obinson’s urfiform brought much attention to his bride and himself and by the time the license hac been made out practically all of the employes of the main floor of the ourt house had gathered around. With head erect and with his prospective bride on his arm, Robinson made a sally into the corridor only to be accosted by the party of the third part, the reporter and the writer of this painful narrative, who began to ply the soldier-bridegroom with the usual questions of the profession. Feeling the clasp'of fingers upon his arm, Robinson saw only a villain in regulation black mustache (and the villain couldn’t grow a black mustache with Wizard hair restorer) in front of him. “Begone! We’ll have none of this notoriety,” was the mumbling threat of Robinson, and, as it was supportec by a suggestion of biceps artillery fire, the reporter saw tactical advantage in retreat. Robinson evidently had reconnoitered earlier in the day, for without a moment's hesitation the valiant two strode across Delaware street and entered the offices of Squire Monte C. Fiscus. The reporter trailed the enemy in the meantime, having nothing else to do, and boldly ascended the steps toward the squire’s offices. On the top step he was met by the squire himself, who was out in search of a witness, and was led into the marriage parlors, and before any treaties of Ghent had even been suggested the villain of pad and pencil had attached his signature to the marriage iicense. Just then the soldier took his bride’s right hand at the direction of Squire Fiscus, and the next minute the villain without a black mustache was shaking hands with his two erstwhile enemies.

New Ruling Concerning Rural Mail Boxes.

All mail boxes erected on rural routes after Jul£ 1 must conform to the postoffice department specifications in every particular. In accordance with the order of the postmaster general, two sizes have been designated and adopted. iSize number one is designed for letters and ordinary mail, where it is not designed to care for parcel post packages. Size number two is 23% inches long, 11 inches wide and 14 inches high, and is designed for all mail, including parcel post. Patrons may use either side as preferred, and will not be required to discard boxes in use on July 1, if they, are in good condition. But all the new boxes installed after July 1 must be of the new make and must be approved by the postmaster at the place of manufacture. The different approved manufacturers and the places where they may be obtained may be learned by inquiry at the local postoffice.

Reports received in Indianapolis from all parts' of the state indicated that the 4th of July had been celebrated more quietly with less injury and fewer deaths recorded than usual in Indiana. No deaths due to fireworks had been reported at 'a late hour Tuesday. The number Of cases of injury were also less than in the past few years. There were a few reports of death of persons fishing, on picnics or seeking amusement in other ways for the day. Many places in the state celebrated by giving pageants reproducing several different epochs in the history of the state.

GUARDSMEN ON DRESS PARADE

Over Four Thousand Militiamen Pass In Review Before Governor—No Hint When Men Will Go. More than 4,000 Indiana National Guardsmen in the mobilization camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison passed in review 'before Governor ■ Ralston on the parade ground of the camp named in his honor. With the parade ended the national salute of one gun for each state was fired from the three-inch field gups of the artillery batallion just as the sun was setting. Thousands of visitors at the camp witnessed the parade and remained for the band concert given by the military musical organizations in the evening. Officers marched as well as soldiers, because horses are not to be provided for them reach the Mexican border. Prior to the parade the Kendalvillc and Portland companies wore mustered into the federal service. The Monticello and South Bend companies were mustered in earlier in the day. Following the muster it was reported to the central department that the third regiment of Indiana is now ready for service. The soldiers are now anxiously awaiting the order to entrain. A message from the war department, said General Funston, will decide on the destination of the Indiana troops within a few days. Meanwhile the monotony of camp life is broken in drilling and better equipping the men for service. Beside the dress parade, the soldiers observed the 4th with a large display of fireworks. The camp seemed alive with red fire when soldiers carried torches about the camp ani piles of powder were burning at all parts of the field. So far none of the men of Company M who were rejected on the physical examination have returned home, and it is not known when they will 'be sent back.

No New Guard Units Are Desired For Army. An official announcement of the war department that “no new national guard units are desired for organization at this time except to supply deficiencies a state may have in special arms,” has caused speculation as to the status of the new regiments being raised in Indiana. Further inquiry at the” war department as to Indiana developed the fact that Indiana was included in this order and that if Indiana is organizing now units of troops it is without the authority of the government. News dispatches several days ago said the state of Indiagp had been authorized by Gen. Barry, commanding the central west department, to organize these new units. Army officers say, however, that Gen. Barry surel ydid not do this, as the organization of new national guard units clearly is without his scope of jurisdiction. It is said at the war department that if new units are 'being organized in Indiana, that they are being organized on the state’s own authority and that no new regiments will be included in a call for service at the border. Therefore, if new regiments are completed, there will be no chance for them to be sent to the front. Indeed, they will not receive federal recognition, which is essential to their getting arms, uniforms and supplies of all sorts.

Miss Margaret Pieres came from her home at Jacksonville today to visit Misses Ethel and May Clarke. There is an epidemic of infantile paralysis in New York, and 25 children died during the 24 hours ending at 6 o’clock Tuesday night. Ninety other cases are reported.
