They thouglit the man crazy nr 'rank, and ran screaming. James N- mi went back with them to the fellow, but he refused to answer qu« nons, and instead handed Mr. \,-i m a note which it was too dark to id. Dr. Brown of the Pniverslty ha'iiaMied along about that time and took part in the proceedings, and f; , i to get any Information, telephoned for the police. The officers hastened to the scene and took the man in charg'*, but finding it only a harmless initiation prank gave the student a lecture and let him go. It was the first of the initiation stunt and was, therefore, quite unexpected. The ladies were badly frightened. It is suggested that in future the students confine themselves to the home grounds during these unnecessary performances.

The political situation in the state is little changed today. Not In tin remembrance of the oldest inhabitant have the complete returns been so slow in coming in. The offices below governor on the state ticket are still in doubt. This morning the Republileans were acknowledging the defeat | of Watson, Goodwine and McTurnan, iand claiming the other offices by ver\ ! small majorities. These claims were biased on official returns front 77 counties. At Democratic headquarters they are still claiming the whole ticket, their estimate based on the official returns from 82 counties of the 92. Everything seems to point to the defeat of Goodwine and of M-cTui-nan. Aley had an especially heart 'vote, running ahead of his ticket in | many comniunties, especially those I communities in which he had worked in Institutes and where he was known personally, and his fitness for the place well understood. By Monday the whole matter should lie
Official returns from thirty-two counties received at the office of the secretary of state up to noon indicate The election of the following Kepublians; Billheitner. Sims, Goodwine, Poets, Quincy, Meyers and David Meyers. The same figures indicate the election of the following Demoim .its: Lotz. Aley and New. All figures are so close, however, that it will be impossible to /iame winners until the total official rote is compiled. In figuring the result the official vote in the thirty-two counties is used nn.l the unofficial vote in other counties. There seems little doubt. , how ever, that there would be a mixel result. The committee of Democrats are watching the tabulation and not conceding the election of any Republicans.
CIVORCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA
cleared up beyond further question.
The nation waits impatiently on news from Soutli Dakota. While it knows who has been elected President, there is something else to know and only South Dakota can tell. At the same election they were to choose a President South Dakota voters were to decide whether the divorce industry was to flourish in that state or to be reduced to a more or less minimum. The ballots were cast Tuesday. The result is still unknown. The counters are irritatingly slow. The contest over the divorce question in South Dakota was one of the mosi novel and picturesque of political engagements. The population was all split up over the issue. The recent Legislature of the State was dei nh dp against the divorce industry,
and hence its enactment of a law re quiring a year's residence, instead of merely six months, in the State be fore a legal separation was possible for disgruntled spouses. Certain commercial interests were decidedly in favor of the divorce-made-easy idea, hence their petition that the matter be laid before the people for final action, in accordance with the State law providing for a referendum in such eases. It was a hard-fought campaign. The long-established industry hung in the balance. Men and women with a fine moral fibre, who were ashamed of the abominable divorce cases of which their State was the background and who thought marriage was deserving of respect, fought for the Legislature's new law. Hotel keepers, divorce lawyers and real estate men, who found the old law profitable, waged a vigorous campaign against the amended measure. The contest resolved itself into one between Ethics and Commerce. The champions of morality were forced to combat the vulgar philosophy that “while quick divorces may he wrong it does certainly pay.” If perchance the people of .South Dakota have decided to stand firm for the new law they will have stabbed one of their most lucrative businesses of their State and will have crippled the markets of Sioux Fails, but tNioy will also have raised the flag of decency—and that is some-thing.—Courier-Journal.

ALLEN BROTHERS.
Thursday evening, in his Senior Sem class. Col. James Riley Weaver, who is a staunch Republican, severely criticised the Prohibitionists of the State for their action in the recent election. The Colonel hat made a thorough study of the political situation and declares that the Prohis are responsible for the defeat of James E. Watson, when they should have been for him to a man. He said in part, “The trouble with the Prohibitionists is, that when they come up to a high steep wall, instead of trying to find an easy way through or around, they attempt to go straight up and over the obstacle. They are too narrow to compromise and take advantage of small concessions, the policy which always wins in reform movement, hut foolishly try to swallow the entire apple at one bite. When the Republican party came to the rescue and at a great risk championed the cause of temperance it was thought that the Prohibitionists would at least cast their ballots for the Republican candidates. Not only did they not do this, but it seems that many of them used their influence to keep others from doing it. It was certainly a hit of gross ingratitude and it will no doubt be many years before either of the two great parties will again take up the temperance issue.”—DePauw Daily.
We think Col. Weaver is not quite correct in the interpretation of th vote in Indiana. In the first place the Prohibitionists voted with their party on the presidential proposition. They could do nothing else. Taft was a liquor man by his record and the evidence of the Prohibitionist and liquor papers. They could not go to him. In state matters the vote, so far as we are conversant with it. shows that the prohibitionists went to Watson. In the south precinct of the Second ward eighteen votes were cast for the Prohibitionist candidate for president and all of the eighteen for the Reptibliean candidate for governor. The same holds true wherever we have learned of the actual vote We believe that it was the Prohibitionist vote for Watson that made i* possible for him to stand so high ot the ticket, as he was severelj scratched by his own party.
convictions regarding one J. Frank Hanly. Seven township trustees out of twelve — another record-breaking performance for the Hendricks County Democracy. Center Township, Hendricks County, State of Indiana, l’. S. A., there she stands, a shining example of efficient Democratic organization. Just look at the Democratic vote in Center Township and then think what it might have been if Sam Small hadn’t "made the Republicans mad.” There are some Republicans in Hendricks County who are carrying a con. ealed smile about their person. They believe the jolt their party got Tuesday will result in a readjustment that will place them in the limelight. "What's the matter with you fellows"'' was the frequent inquiry made of the local Republican managers yesterdaj by the headquarters at Indianapolis. It rather nettled some of them a* first, but as they began to get fuller returnf from the State they decided that while they did not know exactly what their affliction was they were certain that whatever it might be it was epidemic in the ranks of the Republican party Ttieaday.

Misses Florence Black, Mayme Naylor, Theo Raney, Florence Tab hurt, Verna Stoner and Leola True blood were hostesses at a party given last night at Misn Black's on Col lege Avenue. The party was to an nounce the engagement of Miss Mary Denman who is to be married to Mr Paul Dee of Newton, Ills., on Novem her 2G, 1908. The guests numbered about forty and were entertained during th* evening by a clever fortune-tellei who presented the future to each guest. A two-course luncheon was served during which the engagement was announced by small hearts concealed in the napkins, which bore the date of the wedding. The decorations were red hearts, and favors suitable for such an occasion.
This morning the county commissioners met to canvass the claims of those who had to do with the late election The claim" of each precinct were filed by the inspector of the precinct. The average of all th*- precincts was close to $50 each. There was. however, a great difference in the expenses of the precincts. The lowest claim from any precinct was lor $3ti.FiO. The higln-st was for $57. Pile average claim was from $10 to $i.,>. Phis would make the expenses oi the election, so far as the expenses of the p reel nets are concerned approximate $1,700. In edition to these expenses there must be paid the board of election - ommissioners who have put In some ‘ive or six days each, the expenses o! •tinting the ballots, of advertising he election, etc., so that the final extense, not all in as yet, will not be ■ur from $2,200. If the expense hould reach that amount it will exeed the appropriation set aside tor his matter, as the County Council has appropriated hut $1,900 to pax ill the expenses of the election. Th* ■xact expenses will not be known till ill the claims are acted upon.
