A

Tells of Experience at Neal Institute —Thanks God For Freedom.

Extract from letter just received: "I inherited the desire for morphine from my mother, who was addicted to the Habit, and from my birth it was given me. I had taken it 38 years and had reached the point,where I was using 20 grains daily. "I had been to three different sanitariums and institutes, who refused to accept me, owing to the large amount of morphine I took and my debilitated condition. I was a complete wreck physically. "I was finally prevailed upon to take the Neal Treatment. I did so with most satisfactory results. I do not know when I went off the morphine. Within a few days all craving and desire for the drug had left me. You can easily realize howgrateful I feel to be out of bondage after being a slave for 38 years. Now, thank God, myself and husband will be happy together." "Victim of Drink Habit" Says: "I certainly appreciate what you have done for me. If I ever have a chance, will gladly recommend your institution."

THE BOOTS FACTORY BUILDING AND CONTENTS, EAST OF TOWN, DESTROYED

LAST NIGHT

The brick factory building, east of this city, and owned by Dr. S. S. Boots, was burned, together with its contents, last night at midnight.

The brick wagon, a lot of feed, sheep troughs, a barrel of oil, some shafting and pulleys, wheel-barrow I and several other articles belonging •. to Mr. Boots, and this year's crop of rye, owned by George Coffman and stored there, were consumed, together with the building.

The origin of the fire is unknown and there was no insurance on the building or contents.

IIBIE FRAUD IS ALLEGED III CASE

Moses Vandenhark's Anderson Store Invoiced $20,000—Paid $47,000 —Suit Will Be Brought.

The result of the invoice of the Lion Store at Anderson, owned by Moses Yandenbark, of Henry county, and for which the Central Trust and Savings Co., in this city, is receiver, shows stock and fixtures to be worth $20,000. The receivers say that this is within $1,000 of the value of the stock when it was sold to Yandenbark last May. It is claimed that the parties who sold the store represented that it was worth $47,000, and it was on that basis that Yandenbark made the trade. Since then it is claimed that he was of unsound mind and a guardian has since been appointed.

Arrangements are being made to file suit for the recovery of the alleged fraudulent difference' between the sale price and the invoiced value of the stock. As the suit will involve more than $25,000, there is sure to be a big legal battle, with plenty of lawyers on both sides.—New Castle Daily Times.

IS

A6AIH ARRESTED

Martin Vail Dyne, Officer and Drayman at Shirley, is in Trouble in Two Counties.

"Trials and Tribulations of a Deputy Constable in Shirley" would be an excellent title for an interesting piece of fiction based on the facts, by Martin Van Dyne, the drayman, deputy constable, and at times a deputy marshal in the little county line town which has been the scene of so much booze-selling, so many murders, cutting and shooting scrapes, says the New Castle Times.

Martin has been arrested for shooting a man. He has also been arrested for carrying a gun. In fact, that seems to have been his chief occupation. When he was not working regularly as a peace officer, he was a drayman and made the deliveries of booze to various places in Shirley, but he says he "didn't know what they did with it after he left it inside the doors."

Martin is the same man who works in a livery stable when not otherwise engaged. He came to New Castle about three weeks ago with a warrant for a man accused of stealing chickens. But the chicken thief was not apprehended. Martin started back home on a Honey Bee car and had some trouble, and pulled his gun. He says that he was led to believe that his life was in danger because he was informed that "the gang" had framed up on him and was going to "fix" him so he couldn't file any more affidavits against the boozesellers. Upon going to his home Martin says that he saw a crowd of six or seven coming after him and that he turned his six-shooter wide open. Noble Dudley stopped one of the leaden pellets with his foot and the crowd "faded away" according to Van Dyne, who was arrested and gave bond for his appearance in the Hancock Circuit Court. As a result of the trip to New Castle for that alleged chicken thief, Van Dyne has been arrested on two charges in the local courts.

First Day Showed 174 in the High School—Nearly 800 Enrolled on the First Day Here.

The city school enrollment for the first day, Monday, was about as usual for the first day, totaling over seven hundred. In the high school the enrollment was 174 departmental, 130 Longfellow building, 115 Washington, 228 Lincoln, 110 and East Greenfield, 34. Total number 791.

There are several to enter school yet, and it is thought the enrollment will be about as in former years. The schools are all becoming regulated now, and the work progressing nicely. Yesterday some of the pupils from the east part of town who started in at the west building were transferred back to the east building, as the classes were not large enough at that building, and too large at the west building.

The schools of this city are starting under very favorable circumstances, there being several of the smaller pupils unable to attend on account of sickness, but it is hoped these will recover and be able to report in a short time.

IU10 SUED HORSE 001 OF COUNTRY

Is Explanation Given For Complete Disappearance of Jas. Rridges' Horse Last Sunday.

James Bridges, of Route 8, near Curry's Chapel, is out a valuable horse, unless he has found it since yesterday. Sunday evening the animal was grazing along the roadside peacefully and calmly until an automobile came along. The horse took fright and started to run in front of the machine. He was seen to turn east at the Bethel school house by Ernest Moore, and no one has seen him since, so far as can be learned.

Mr. Bridges and others have been out trying to locate the animal, but could get no trace of him after he turned east at the Bethel corner. About the only explanation offered is that the. horse ran entirely out of the community during the night and was beyond the reach of Mr. Bridges' inquiries when they were started.

ANOTHER GOOD GAS WELL HAS 50 POUNDS PRESSURE

Northeastern Part of County Produces Heavy Pressure Well— This is An Old Field.

A gas well has been brought in on the farm of Freeman Braddock, northeast of this city, which has a pressure of 50 pounds. The well is free from water, and the flow is strong enough to blow the lids off of the stoves. This well is located in a gas field that produced several good wells several years ago, when the window glass factory was in operation here.

Educational Exhibits at County Superintendent's Office Attract Teachers of County.

A miniature museum or educational exhibit, at the office of Geo. J. Richman, county superintendent, is attracting the school teachers of the county, and in fact all who visit the superintendent's office are made to wonder at the large and varied collection of exhibits secured by Mr. Richman, which are calculated to help the teachers and pupils in their new studies to be taken up the coming term.

Probably the most wonderful exhibit is one submitted by the Corn Products Refining Co. A small bottle of ordinary field corn and thir-ty-three different articles made from this most common product are shown, and this large number does not include any liquors or breakfast food.

Another exhibit is from the Standard Oil Company, showing thirteen bottles of oil or other products manufactured from oil by this company. Then the materials used and the different stages of manufacture or construction of many common articles, such as lead pencils, knives, pens, drawing knife, scissors, spoons and aluminum ware are shown silk, wool and paper exhibits are of great interest. A cocoon is shown, and then the various stages of preparing the silk to be woven or manufactured into goods, and then the many glossy colors of silk goods.

Raw wool is taken through the various stages of preparation and manufacture. A pure food exhibit is shown, and spices, coffee and tea from every producing country of the world are on display in small boxes in such a manner that comparisons can be easily made. Ostrich feathers and an egg are displayed, together with a most interesting history of this bird, its habits, etc. Another exhibit of unusual interest is of carborundum, its manufacture and products of emery. This exhibit comes from Niagara Falls, the only place where it is manufactured. After examining it and its products, one can hardly realize that the basic elements are just common sawdust and sand.

Mr. Richman began some time ago to get these exhibits together, writing to the various manufacturers, who all responded by sending their exhibits and many sent Uboks and other literature or typewritten explanations of their exhibits. Many of them paid all expenses of getting the exhibits here, and gave them absolutely, while some were only loaned.

Teachers and others have been examining the exhibits which are a surprise to all, in the scope they cover in the manufacturing world. Mr. Richman will keep the Exhibit on display at his office for the use of teachers and pupils the coming school term.

Church Improvements Progressing. The improvements on the interior of the Christian church are progressing rapidly. The entire interior walls are being refrescoed and the church cleaned, and a new carpet will be laid.

A. P. Conklin is arranging to move his family to Indianapolis in a few days. They will make the city their future home.

Mrs. Earl Lynam and son returned to their home at Knightstown Tuesday evening, after a few days' visit with relatives here.

A. L. Green, of Indianapolis, was here Tuesday evening calling on friends. He is assistant manager of the National Refining Co.
