SMILING IRISHMAN IS VISITING OLD FRIENDS.

Emmett O’Brien, a member of Co. M of this city during the late world war, came down from Gary Friday night for a short visit with members of his old company. He is now employed by the E., J. & E. at Gary. “Shorty,” as he was better known to his army bunkies, was discharged from the service last ruary after having served two years in various cantonments in this country. He was denied the privilege of making the overseas journey with his mates, who left Camp Shelby in July, of 1918, due to the fact that he had just undergone an operation for a nasal trouble. Upon his recovery he was transferred to Camp Raritan and then to Camp Dix. From the latter camp he was finally transferred to Camp Sherman for discharge. Mr. O’Brien is a typical son of Old Erin and his genial spirit and quick wit were greatly missed by the members of Company M upon their departure for overseas, as he had been the life of Camp Shelby during the long weary months that his company was stationed there. Failure to get into active service on the other side was a great blow to the smiling Irishman, and it is said that the only time that he was low ins. spirit during his time in the army was when orders were issued compelling him to remain on this 31 is related that shortly after his arrival at the Mississippi cantonment that “Shorty” was drafted by an officer to act a as hostler for his mount. It was the Irishman’s dirty to exercise the steed and keep its hide glossy, which drew forth the following remark from Mr. O’Brien: “Hully Gee! fifty thousand men in this camp, me forty-five years of age and here they are trying to make a jockey out of men. Can you beat that? Huh!”

GLARING LIGHT WAS SEEN.

That a meteor of tremendous size plunged into Lake Michigan Wednesday night, causing earth tremors felt in a dozen Michigan cities and sending a pillar ,pf-~f lame hundreds of feet into the air, which was visible for a radius of many miles, is generally accepted as the explanation of the earth shock and fjaming skyward light, which at first were thought to have been caused by a terrific explosion of some southern Michigan or northern Indiana industrial plant. The flames were observed in this locality by a number of persons who were on their way from Rensselaer to Pleasant Ridge to bring passengers to this city who were on the train at Pleasant Ridge which was being held up on account of two freight cars being off the track. The writer was making the trip with Dr. Leighly and son, of DeMotte, and the flash was noted and commented upon at the time. , From reports from various Michigan, Indiana and Illinois cities, where the blinding flare was visible, it appeared the center of the disturbance was near the lower end of Lake Michigan. Coast guards at Grand Haven, Mich., were firm in -their asserti on that _ theyhad —wjt> nessed the descent of a . -heavenly, body anxf “credence ’is given their story by the absence of the report of any industrial disaster. Residents of Battle Creek, Kalafiiazoo, Grand Haven and other western Michigan cities and Indiana cities, including South Bend, left their homes in fear of an earthquake. It is reported that the rumblings were heard as far as South Bend and Laporte and that the flash of light was seen in Chicago.

KEPT CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL; PAID $11.10.

Leo Olewenski, a foreigner hying near Newland, appeared in Squire S. C. Irwin’s court this Saturday morning and plead guilty to a charge of failure to send his three children to school. Being his first offense he was treated leniently by the court, his fine being one dollar and costs, or sll.lO in all. Olewenjski’s..violation of the Indiana truancy law war brought Iff the attention of the court by Probation Officer C. M. Sands, of this city, who is making a determined effort to see that the children of school age in Jasper county are given the educational opportunities that the laws of Indiana demand they shall be given. Olewenski was not placed under arrest, but appeared voluntarily. Mr. Sands stated that a number of similar cases to that of Olewenski’s are now pending, and that within a few days the violators will will be haled into court to explain their violations. Mr. Sands’ statement should serve as a tip to those who are now violating the law, if they wish to save themselves trouble. It is said that the majority of the truancy law violators are among thee foreign born citizens, but not wholly so. There is no excuse for any parent being ignorant of the school laws; they are clear and distinct and those who persist imoalatr, ing them will be given the maximum penalty of aT $25 fine and ninetydays in jail, which is something to think about in these days of pyramiding prices. The township trustees are cooperating with Mr. Sands, as __ are the neighbors of the delinquent families, and there is no possibility of the law being violated* in this respect without the authorities learning of it, hence eall should exercise every precaution to see that they are living up to the Indiana school laws.

“ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT.”

Is the motto of newspapers, but just what is news? There is two sides to everything. One side may be old stuff, the other side may be news. What’s • news to one may be old to another. It’s been acknowledged you can’t please everybody— Wilson tried that. There’s no news in a “dog bites Billy Sunday,” but let Billy bite a dog and that’s news, something we’ve all been expecting. The fact that the president had turkey Thanksgiving fails to thrill us, but we would like to know if he had-sugar. Good fortune is a:ways good news. There’s no news in “Sheridan r.rs strong offense,” but to read “Rensselaer offers little resistance,” that’s news( almost scandle unfit). thing strange or unheard of is alwaysnews. “Mexico ’ kills another American makes the front page, but really isn’t what you’d call news. We are fed up on it. “America sends Carlisle and York into Mexico,” would be easier to take, sound more American and scare hell out of those greasers. That would be good news. “Franklin wins economy test” is gtjiff we’vg read for a dozen years, but it’s always good news to the man a Franklin. He likes this absolute monopoly on economy; he admires his judgment, and he knows Franklin owners are efficiency experts with something to tell to others. We always have the latest news for autoists.

An early examination of his body gives no indication that his death was caused by poisoning, according to the coroner. The message on the envelope read: '“Dear Mother: Please forgive me. I can’t stand this persecution any longer. I am not guilty of any offons6.” The contents of the letter, Mrs. Kruyer said, pertained to family aff&irs* Mr. Kruyer was appointed internal revenue, collector for the sixth district of Indiana in 1914 by President Wilson. i..-
