News has been received here that Prof. W. A. Mlllls, a son of Councilman Millis, has been tendered the presidency of Hanover College, and he will probably accept. Ho is now at Hanover. Prof. Millis. for several years, has been at the head of the Crawfordsville schools. He is recognized as one of the strong educators of the central west, and his selection to the presidency of Hanover Is not a surprise. Hanover is a Presbyterian College, located east of Madison, on the Ohio River, and has an attendance of about 300.—Crawfordsville Exchange. Prof. Millis is well known In GreencaStle. Many Greencastle teachers have worked under Prof. Millis, and all are high in his praise, declaring him an excellent educator. Does your boy need a suit?

'Ii-s. Emma Fowler and Four Children Were in Destitute Circumstances at Crawfordsville—Said I I icy Had Relatives in Grccncastlo

HUSBAND DESERTED HIS FAMILY

Mrs. Emma Fowler and her four ' children were sent to Greencastle this afternoon. Marshal Prewitt so- ' cured a ticket for them and accompanied them to the train. Alfred Fowler, the worthless and unprincipled husband, sold all the household goods to a second-haud man this morning, pocketed the small wad of change and departed for parts unknown. His wife said he promised to give her half the proceeds of the sale of the small amount of furniture, most of which she had bought, until he got the money. He then “generously” pocketed the coin_and left his wife and children to starve so far as he knew. His wife said she didn’t know whore he was going, but thought he might fetch up in Greencastle as he has relatives near there. This family came here from Illinois and are not related to Richard Fowler and his family. The cases are remarkably similar, as there are four children In each family. Some readers had an Idea that the families are one and the same, but this is not the case.—Crawfordsville Journal.

NEWS OF POLICE COURT

Doings in the pollee court began late Saturday afternoon. A man by the name of Baldwin wins the first to coma before the Mayor. ITo was fined $11. The next busi*w*-s before the Mayor was to settle trouble between Omer Welch and Charles Fuqua. It seems that the two men had a fight In one of the north side saloons Saturday afternoon. After the smoke of the battle had cleared away Welsh went to the Mayor and files complaint against Fuqua. He charged him with assault. Fuqua was arrested and pleaded guilty to the charge. He was fined $11. He stayed the fine. After settling this faze of the question Fuqua retaliated by filing an affidavit against Welsh charging assault. Welsh pleaded not guilty but the testimony was to the effect that he as much to blame as Fuqua and so Welsh too was fined $11. He stayed his fine also. The above all happened Saturday afternoon. This morning Frank Cassidy and Frank Adams, arrested for intoxication, were before the Mayor and fined. Both wenf to Jail to serve 11 days. AUDIENCE SAT SPELL-BDUND

The running time from Indianapolis to Terre Haute was placed at three hours and fifteen minutes boeause of the newness of the road and the fact that the motornien and conductors were not familiar with the lino. A little biter this time is to be cut for the regular accommodation cars, and the lliniteds, when they go into service, will make the run In two hours and fifteen minutes. I! was necessary to provide pilots on the western end of the lino, and especially between Greeneastle and Brazil, and the pilots will continue to assist tlie regular crews until the motormen become familiar with all the stops and switches. The portion of the line between Brazil and Terre Haute continues to have a thirty-minute schedule as in the past. In addition to the hourly through cars there are hourly cars between Brazil and Terre Haute. A large number of people traveled over the new part of the line yes-

Work at repairing the telephone cable which was burned in two last Friday night by coming into contact with an interurban wire is being pushed by the Greencastle Telephone Company.

Harry Maxwell is at Fremont, O.. this week assisting In conducting a revival at the Methodist church of that city. At the meeting there Sunday night Mr. Maxwell told of Ids own conversion when but a boy nineteen years of age, says the Freemont Messenger. He told in a very tender and pathetic way the story of Ids life and how he was saved from a life of sin. Tie then asked those who wanted to live better lives to come up and kneel at the altar. Nearly everyone responded to his Invitation. Mr. Maxwell sang the “Holy City” accompanied by the pipe organ, piano, coronet and violin and snare drums. His high tenor voice rang out clear and true above all the instruments and again tt was as soft and sweet as a lullaby. Ills great power of expression was revealed In the masterful manner In which ho rendered this selection. The great audience sat spell bound under his wonderfully rich and thoroughly cultured voice.

The third annual luncheon given by the state association of the Kappa Alpha Theta was held yesterday at the Claypool Hotel in the large dining room and was one of the largest that has ever been given.

All Western and Central Traffic Association linos are looking eagerly to the advertising transportation decision in the not distant future. The case has been set for a hearing on March 2 in Chicago, which will be practically a test case Invited inten-

tionally by the Monon.

It is said large Interests do not believe the ruling Is sound or constitutional on the ground that it Interferes with the right of contract.

More than one railroad company ClTillll Puffs,

that has strictly complied with the ‘ letter and spirit of the law has done so as a matter of obedience to command and an indisposition to engage in the controversy which was deemed impolitic in view of the flood of anti-railroad legislation. Many of the roads, it is stated have kept an eye on the Monon ease In the tiope that It would be prosecuted to a finish and the question definitely disposed of. if the Monon wins tlie interstate commission's conclusion will be overruled is the prevailing opin-

ion.
