Free speech is »U right, but anarchistic, criminal speeeh is all wrong and should no more be tolerated than criminal actions, foreign anarchists should not be allowed the freedom of this country.

^Audstill lulling, —Chicago Intei-Oce iu,

THE sun has crossed the equinox, the nights are growing longer, the days saovter and glorious autumn is now upon as. This is the season when the leaves •assume their variegated hues that deiight all lovers of nature. The wood9 ta£e on their coats of many colors and ihe foliage becomes radiant with the many varied hues of red, purple, yellow, brown, green, etc. Let the children of tie schools be given a practical talk on the coloring and life of the leaves. The proper way to teach botany is to begin ±arly with the children, and by practical lessons, instil in them a knowledge and love Of nature and her works. It tends to Iqog life and happiness. While gathering autumn leaves and nuts there will be splendid time to teach the children. Let it not pass by unimproved.

THAT the creamery located on South State street was unloaded on the stockholders at iroiu two to three times its actual value is now a well-known fact. The business could not well pay very largely on so much watered stock. Now that it has been sold and is now owned 3jy a few men at about its actual value, there is no reason why it cannot be operated at a profit to the owners and for the advantage of the farmers who would patrfcnize it. New Castle now has two creameries that are paying well. The Cumberland creamery has always been a .success. It has made money for the stockholders, who are also its patrons in vanishing milk. The dairy interests ayoupd Elgin, 111., are the greatest interests ip that section of the State. The lawyers there are prosperous and well-to-do, always having plenty of money. The lands around Elgin are becoming more productive ever year and thus bringing in an increased amount of money oa crops as well as in the dairy interests. Let some men take bold of the creamery here, work up a list of patrons who will furnish milk and then go to work in earnest to build up the business and make some money for all parties concerned.

Xbe JFortville Schools.

The Fortville schools opened last Monday morning, Sept. 16th, with the most promising prospects. Two hundred and fifty-two students took the first week's work, although the heat was intense. The best of feeling prevails between teachers and pupils. The school board is thoroughly alive to the interests of the school, and will do everything possible to wake the schools a success. The teachers have had an aggregate experience of 62 years, and each one. believes in careful daily preparation. The patrons have agreed to give their hearty cooperation. These features carried into actual practice, can not fail in securing gratifying results. Fortville is one of the mo3t active business towns within twenty-five miles of the capital city. Our merchants are not excelled anywhere j& true courtesy, low prices, and in an effort to keep abreast of the times. It is uot a common thing to see persons coming home with goods bought at other town^, but a common thing to see individuals from far and near carrying and haulkig merchandise out of Fortville. Oar town is making a sure and steady growth, and for genuine enterprise will prove a strong rival to any town of equal 5,- size in central Indiana. We do not wish -v to claim anything that can not be fully ^proven. Let us as citizens, stand together and along with splendid business enterprise, make our schools the best in the country, thus inviting among our ranks that noble class of people who believe in the thorough education of their children.

Little boys and girls out of Greenfield you who want to buy your school books, alafces, bags eto at the Book and Notion store will find me in the room juat west of where you found me last year. The first house east of P. O. 88t2.

THE BOOTS DIVORCE CASE.

A LABtiE NUMBER OF WITNESSES AND MUCH DAMAGING TESTIMONY

Mrs. Boots Granted A Divorce.

The divorce case of Mrs. Elizabeth Boots against Frank Boots, which engaged the attention of the court the latter part of last week and the first part of this, was deeided by Judge Offutt Tuesday afternoon. On account of the standing and prominence of the parties and the value of the property involved, there has been a great deal of interest manifested, and speculation as to the ultimate result. The case was strongly contested at every point. Judge Fox, of Richmond, Spencer & Binford and Judge Martin represented Mrs. Boots, and Marsh & Cook and R. A. Black represented Mr. Boots. There was some very sensational evidence in the case. Tne facts as nearly as could be gathered by a reporter, are as follows:

Frank Boots and wife had one of the finest country homes in the county. It is situated on the Pendleton pike, two miles north of Greenfield. They owned 150 acres of fertile laud. Eighty acres of the laud is in the naiiie of Air. Boots and 70 jres belong to Mrs. Boots. It seems that Mrs. Boots owns the part on which the improvements are situated. It seems that each are worth about an equal amount ol' money in their own right. They had been married 27 years. Two children, girls, were born to them during their married life, both of whom are nf5W married.

It is apparent from the testimony that Mr. and Mrs. Boots have lived a stormy married life. They seem toj have been accustomed to use harsh and vulgar language to and abour. each other. The evidence was that they both were vulgar and profane. Each testified that the other had frequently accused him or her of infidelity and adultery. It is in evidence that acts of violence were resorted to by each of them at times.

About six months ago, through the instrumentality of Ed LaBue and his wife, a son-iu law and daughter of the parties to the case, Horace Cooney, a spiritualist and a medium, was intrcduced and brought into the family of the Boots'. A series of semi weekly seances was inaugurated in which the entire Boots family, and some ef the neighbors, took part. These meetings were carried on until the latter part of July, when they were discontinued. Mr. and Mrs. Boots each claim the credit of putting an end to the meetings. Both seem to have been devotees to the "rapping and trance" religion. It seems that Mr. Boots became jealous of the religious affinity existing between the medium, Cooney, and Mrs. Boots. He accused her of infidelity and she left home. He afterward persuaded her to return. After she went home ha concluded, upon advice of Drs. Boots and Black, that she was crazy and had her watched constantly. As soon as she got an opportunity she left home and refused to return again. He then made an affidavit and had an inquest called to inquire into her sanity. Mrs. Boots employed Elmer Binford to appear for her, and before the inquest was held Mr. Boots dismissed the case and paid the costs. He then began overtures for a compromise and offered to pay Mrs. Boots $4,000 and let her have a divorce if she would deed him her part of the farm. This Mrs. Boots did not do, and began an action for divorce at once. The trial was exciting from "start to finish." A large number of spectators were present throughout. It was shown that Mr. Boots importuned his wife to live with him as a wife even though he had accus ed her of being unfaithful to him that he was willing to contract for her farm, hough he thought her crazy. On the other hand it was shown that Mrs. Boots was seen on different occasions buggy riding with Cooney, and at another time under very compromising circumstances.

Judge Offutt's rulings in the trial were eminently fair and impartial. He was visibly affected when rendering his opinion in the case. He said that while the duty he had to perform was an unpleasant one he had no inclination to shrink from it. While his decision was perhaps a surprise to some, it was no doubt right, as the parties could never live together after the trial in which there had been so much crimination and recrimination. Judge Offutt took a very practical and common-sense view of the case. While such family troubles are to be regretted, still when they do occur and are irreconcilable, it is better that the parties be divorced. No alimony was granted, as that part of the complaint had been withdrawn. The case was at once appealed to the Supreme Court.

Both the daughters swore for the father, though it is reported that the complaint of the mother was partly drawn on the evidence of the daughter, Mrs. LaRue, before she went to live with her father. It is said that Mrs. Boots had $3,600 in money when she was married. Judge Offutt granted her a divorce and the property stands as it was. She has seventy acres and he has eighty.

Before leaving, Judge Fox spoke in the most complimentary terms of Judge Offutt and the treatment he received while here.

Children we want to see yon at the Leader drug store. We are headquarters for school books, pencils, pens, tablets, slates, sponges, etc. Best quality of good goods and low prices. 39t8 W. A. Wilkina, Prop.

HARRY

WILL GKJvKNFIJCL.I SKCXJRB A CANNING FACTORY.

Gentlemen Here Now Desirous of Locating One la Tills City. Ivir. Charles Guthridge and L. A. Marshall, representing fcbe Roosier Canning and Machinery Co of Indianapolis, are here this week looking to the losatiou of a canning factory. Theso gentlemen say they will be glad to make Greenfield a special offer in the way of an extra fine plant for the money, as they want a model factory within easy distance'of Indianapolis, that they can show prospective customers. This would insure Greenfield the best possible plant. The REPUBLICAN hopes that a sufficient number of our business men and farmers can be induced to take hold of the enterprise to insure its success. The capacity of the plant to be located here is from 15,000 to 18,000 cans daily. As it would can all kinds of vegetables and fruits, it would run from three to four months each year and give employment to about 100 people during that time. It would also employ a number in making boxes and cans during the winter so that a number of people would have work the year round. This with the large number of people employed in raising the vegetables and other products used, the packing, 'shipping, etc., would raise the total number of people given employment to an average «of about a hundred the year round. The plant contemplated would put up from 1,259,000 to 1,500,000 cans per year, or about half what J.T.Polk's big factory at Greenwood does. The amount of money paid out in the county for work and produce would run from $100,000 to $150,000 per year. This amount of money brought into Hancock county would largely increase our prosperity. Such a factory would give employment to boys and girls and women in the summer time who are not employed, and it would enable farmers who so desire to make from two to five times as much per acre as they are cow doiog.

Tomatoes area wonderfully productive crop and yield a big revenue per 'acre. Our land Is specially fitted for truck farming. Such a factory would enable people with a small surplus of j'garden truck or fruit to find a ready market for it and thus secure many an extra dollar which is now lost. The more factories or industries of this kind we secure the more other lines of business are helped out. By such a course we can better our social and educational advantages, taxes will be lowered and we will be better prepared and more fully equipped to advance and progress in all that makes toward the happiness and prosperity of a community.

Let some wide awake, enterprising, hustling, successful, pushing men take hold of this canning factory and make some money for themselves, as it will pay a big per cent, on the investment and do good in the community. Those interested should see Messrs. Guthridge and Marshall.

JOHK CORCORAN. Sec'y, lldwtf "For years," says Capt. C. Mueller, j,, have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than anything else in the medicine chest, to regulate my bowels, and those of the ship's crew. These pills are not severe in there action, but do their work thoroughly."

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a fcecret preparation. Any physician may have the formula on application. The secret of its success as a medicine lies in its extraordinary power to cleanse the blood of impurities and cure the most deep seated cases of blood-disease.
