Among Them the Webb-Gordon Com
pany Which Has Plans for Ex
tensive Improvements
It is signifiqant that just at the moment when the Commercial Club has just taken on new life and reorganization when factories and new industries are seeking locations in Greenfield, that manufacturing plants which are here should be showing renewed activities. The ComstockMcKee plant which was recently purchased by James F. Webb and G. W. Gordon is being thoroughly rennovated and put into shape for operation to its full compacity.
The new owners have incorporated under the name of the Webb-Gordon Company, and Mr. Gordon, who was at Chicago several days ago, contracted for the sale of the entire output of the factory. This assures the constant operation of the plant.
The work will begin just as soon as the plant is straightened out. It will take a little time to do this as the despoiler had been busy during the inactivity of the factory since it was closed down. Many tools, fittings and electric wires have been taken out by thieves.
The plant will, however, be equipped as soon as possible and put into operation when it will give employment to quite a number of well paid workmen.
LANGUAGE OF WILL CONFUSING
Petition Filed by Executor to Have
Court by Judgment Construe
Meaning.
Elden A. Robb, attorney on behalf of John Bohm, executor, has filed a petition in the circuit court against John Bohm, Jr., et al, to construe the will of Louisa Bohm, deceased. It is a friendly suit.
The complaint recites that Mrs. Bohm died in March, 1905, leaving a will which was duly probated that the plaintiff was named as executor and is now so acting that the plaintiff and the defendants, John Bohm, Jr., William Bohm, Charles Bohm, Frank Bohm, Leona Bohm and Herma Bohm are the only persons whose interests are affected by a construction of the will.
The plaintiff avers that doubts have arisen and uncertainty exists as to the true intent and meaning of the will in reference to the title of real estate and personal property and who is now the owner in fee simple of the real estate left by the deceased.
The court is asked by judgment to construe the will that the rights of all parties may be determined and probated.
The will in question, section 3 reads: "It is my will that after the payment of my debts ail my property, both real and personal, of which I die possessed, shall go and descend to my husband, John Bohm, in fee simple for his use and benefit forever."
The section 4 causes a question of life tenure: "It is my will that after the death of my husband all my estate remaining shall go to and descend to my children. The heirs or representatives of the deceased children taking the same share as their father or mother would inherit were they living."
Then comes section 5: "Should I survive my husband, upon my death, all my property, real and personal, shall descend to my children, or legal heirs, according to the laws of the State."
The Lash of a Fiend
would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper of Oswego, N. Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. "It was most troublesome at night," he writes, 'nothing helped me till 1 used Dr. King's New Discovery which cured me completely. I never cough at night now." Millions know its matchless merit for stubborn colds, obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, croup, whooping cough, or hayfever. It relieves quickly and never fails to satisfy.

NO PARTRIBGES THIS SPRING
State Game Commissioner Announces
He Will Be Unable to Supply
New Orders.
No more Hungarian partridges Mongolian pheasants will be distributed for stocking game preserves in Indiana this spring save where promises have been made, and even then some of the promises will have to be cub down a little. State Fish and Game Commissioner Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, has announced that he will be unable to get as many of the imported game birds as he had ordered and he will be unable to fill any additional orders. He has been getting numerous letters from all parts of the state from farmers and others who wanted some of these birds to stock preserves and the inquiries have also come from other states. But a letter to Commissioner Sweeney from his importers in Philadelphia states that his last order for birds has been cut from 3,800 to 2.800 and that no more can be furnished for some time.
Indiana was the first state in the Union to establish game preserves among the farmers, such as are found in Bartholomew and neighboring counties. Commissioner Sweeney decided five or six years ago that the game preserve idea, in which several farmers would join and sign an agreement to keep their lands closed to hunters for a period of three years, would be a good way to solve the problem of the rapidly disappearing quail and that it would also be a good chance to introduce a species of game bird that was hardier and larger than the qnail, so that if weather conditions, etc., did kill off the quail, then the imported bird could be gaining a foothold and taking the quail's place.
This experiment was tried with Hungarian partridges and Mongolian pheasants and it has proven a great success.
The success of the experiment has caused numerous people to ask for shipments of the birds and Commissioner Sweeney has been granting these requests where he could, but he has had to draw the line, because his importers tell him that they will be unable to furnish any more birds this spring.
Since Commissioner Sweeney began importing game birds for Indiana, he has turned about 18,000 partridges and pheasants loose. These birds multiply rapidly and he estimates that about 40,000 of them are now to be found in various parts of the state.
Judge Martindale Dead.
Judge Elijah B. Martindade of Iadianapolis died Monday morning at the age of 82 years. He was the father of Robert Martindale whojwas the promoter of the town of Shirley in this county. In 1861 he was appointed judge of the court of common pleas of a district of which Hancock county was part, by Governor Oliver P. Morton. The.deceased was well known to the older citizens of Hancock, and was connected with the development of natural gas in Hancock county.

THEY ARE LEGAL BUTJNGOMPLETE
Several Hancock County Marriages
Have Never Been Reported To
The Clerk oF The Court.
Ministers failing to make the proper marriage return in five days to the county clerk after officiating at a wedding, are liable to a heavy fine. This law has been on the statute books for a number of years, but the penalty has never been enforced. There are in Hancock county a number of couples whose marriage record is not perfect, in that the person officiating did not make the return so that the record might be executed correctly.
It is a serious proposition, too. Not that any one doubts the legality of such marriages, but there is nothing on record so far as the clerk is concerned to show that a wedding was ever performed.
In talking of the matter the County Clerk said: "Suppose in settling up an estate and one of the heirs was a party to an incompleted marriage and that another heir contested the will, there would be absolutely nothing on file in this office to show that the couple ever had been married. On the other hand, persons marrying should procure a marriage certificate, bearing names dates and other information. A number of such certificates have been destroyed by fire, lost or mutilated, and in such cases the clerks record is the only thing to resort to. If the record is incomplete in the eyes of the law, the marriage is not valid."
WAS CONFUSED IN TWO MEN
Franklin County Politician Taken For
Distinguished Greenfield Red Man
at Connersville.
The Connersville Times says:
4
'During a brief intermission in the work of initiation at the Red Men's anniversary celebration at the Auditorium Monday night, an ambitious Democratic politician of Franklin county, a visiting Red Man, and a local Republican with political proclivities were standing near the front of the big audience room, in earnest conversation on the 'good of the order.' Suddenly the Franklin county man riveted his eyes on the well formed gray head of a man sitting in one of the boxes with an Indian war club resting across his lap. 'Why, there,' said the visitor, 'is Dr. Robinson. He sacrificed his time and means to make two races for congress in this district on the Democratic ticket and is now away up in Redmanship. I want to meet him and shake him by the hand and tell him how much the Democrats of Franklin think of him,' and he was away before his Republican friend could explain or pull his own face straight. "Though the throng that filled the hall and the aisles the Franklin county gentleman made his way till he fetched up before the box. Reaching up he extended his hand and grasping that of the man with the war club, he said hurriedly: "'Mr. Robinson, my name is I'm a Democrat from Franklin county and I want in behalf of the Democrats there to give thanks to you for the noble sacrifices you made in running for congress on our ticket and .' 'Say, brother,' broke in Winfield Veatch, for it was his hand the Franks lin county man really held. 'I reckon there is some mistake. In the first place my name isn't Robinson and in the second place if I had ever run on a Democratic ticket for anything (which I never did), I wouldn't like to have anybody mention it out loud, in a crowd like this.'"
An Ideal Cough Medicine.
"As an ideal cough mebicine I regard Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in a class by itself," says Dr. R. A. Wiltshire, of Gwynneville, Ind. "In fact, I know of no other preparation that meets so fully the expectations of the most exacting in cases of croup and coughs of children. As it contains no opium, chloroform or morphine it certainly makes a most safe, pleasant and efficacious remedy for the ills intended." For sale by all druggist,
Said To Have Stood 11 to 1. The jury could not agree in the case of the State against Minnie Scoville, tried Friday in the circuit court and the jurors were discharged Saturday evening.
Mrs. Scoville was charged with assault and battery in driving an automobile against a buggy on the National road east of town, and injuring the buggy and occupants. In the mayor's court Mrs. Scoville was found guilty and fined, and this trial was on appeal. It is understood the jury stood 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal.

ITS OLD FIRST PLAGE
Uniform Rank Knight of Pythias at
Wilkinson Is Rapidly Regaining
Lost Prestege.
Capt. W. H. Allee has resigned as captain of Uniform Rank, No. 30, K. of P., Wilkinson, Ind., and Charles V. Bridges elected his successor. Installation of officers and oyster supper will be held March 10th.
For some time the Uniform Rank, No. 30, K. of P., at Wilkinson, has been practically inactive,owing to the lack of interest on the part of the members.
A special meeting was called Feb. 15th to effect a captain, the vacancy having been made by the resignation of Capt. W. H. Allee. There being but a few present, no action was taken. Again a meeting was called Feb. 22nd. A quorum being present, immediate action was taken, consequently Charles V. Bridges was duly elected on the first ballot. Mr. Bridges having been elected first lieutenant at a previous meeting and his being elected captain at this time, made it necessary for him to resign the lieutenantship. Marshall Wales was chosen to fill the place, the honor of which was conferred in his ab. sence.
These two young men are highly respected by the company and it is urged that they, with the aid of the other officers, will restore Uniform Rank to its former standing, and with the sincere co-operation of all, this certainly can be perfected.
Inspection of the Rank and installation of officers will occur March 10, at 7:30 p.m. prompt, after which a copious supply of oysters will be served.
All former members are especially urged to be present and with the few who are yet in good standing, make this movement a grand success.

BARRE STRIKE IS OVER
The strike of the granite cutters of Barre, Vt., which has been in effect since November 16th, has been settled, and work was resumed last Monday. The cutters get an increase of 10 per cent., which means that Barre granite monuments will be higher than formerly. They will not only be higher, but, on account of the long suspension of work at the factories, they will be scarce and hard to get. I have on hands a, fine stock of Barre monuments which will be sold while they last at the old price, and which can be placed in the cemetery promptly this spring, insuring work for Decoration Day if desired. I am also well supplied with monuments of the other standard foreign and American granites.
