U. S. Buntings We are fortunate in securing the standard quality—Red, White and Blue—from the U. S. Bunting Mills Official Stnnip on Every Piece. Tt isn’t wise to accept a substitute when the genuine may be had. Cotton Buntings are likewise here in both cheap grades and in the colors that stand both sun aud rain. Keeps Its Shape Not only can we recommend “Her Majesty s" Corset because of its unbreakable feature, but because it retains its shape perfectly until thoroughly worn out. This feature makes it specially desirable to those who*-are particular about the fit of their dresses—and what woman doesn’t appreciate the value of a proper titting gown? Every style of “Her Majesty’s” is in our corset stock. L. S. Ayres & Cos. Sole Agents for IMPROVED STANDARD PATTERNS. ART EMPORIUM, Telephone 500.

ROUGH ON MR. M. TOWLE + PROMINENT CITIZEN OF LAKE COUNTY ATTACKED IN COURT. • o Breach-of-I’roniise and Divorce Salts —Damage Cases In Hearing. 8 . William K. Sullivan, of Chicago, receiver of the. American Building, Loan and Investment Society, yesterday instituted suit in tho Federal Court here to foreclose a mortgage executed by Marcus M. and Irena S. Towle while the former was president of the society and before the receiver was appointed. Various other parties of Lake county, Indiana, are made defendants. The receiver alleges that prior to his appointment Towle, then president of the society, executed a mortgage on certain Lake county property to the association. Subsequently he mortgaged the same property to Charles P. Bryans, who assigned the mortgage to Edward F. Cragha. Cragin foreclosed in the Lake Receiver Sullivan discovered that uie mortgage executed by Towle to the association had never been recorded and that it had disappeared from the society’s papers w’hen he came into possession of the assets. He alleges that Towle, as president of the society, had access to the safe in which the mortgage was kept with other papers. The receiver asserts that if the mortgage had been properly recorded it would have been a prior and superior lien to that of the Bryans mortgage, and he asks that the latter foreclosure be set aside. Towle is one of the most prominent citizens of Lake county and has been accounted a man of large wealth. For Breach of Promise. Margaret Miles, a young woman seventeen years old, yesterday began breach-of-prom-ise proceedings against Beechman Mitchell, in the Superior Court. The plaintiff resides on East street. She avers that Mitchell came to woo her and in February last gained her promise to become his wife. About the same time he went to her parents and obtained their consent to the match. The girl says she set about preparing for the wedding, and went to great expense in selecting a suitable wedding outfit. Mitchell, she charges, failed to keep his promise, and on May 5 he was married to Katie Irvin. The plaintiff says she has suffered much mental anguish, and the conduct of the defendant has been the cause of much humiliating gossip in her neighborhood, all of which the complaint avers "is to the detriment of her standing as a lady in the community.” The plaintiff tells her attorney that the defendant had the audacity to call on her one evening just before his marriage to Miss Irvin. He failed to tell on this occasion, she says, that she was not to be Mrs. Mitchell. Her Second Suit for Divorce. A second suit for divorce was brought yesterday by Ornetta Zimmerman against Grant Zimmerman. A former suit was brought some time ago and dismissed by the wife in the hope of affecting a reconciliation with her husband. In the suit brought yesterday the defendant is charged with subjecting the plaintiff, to whom he was married in December, 1890. to cruel treatment. She says that in October. 1895, her husband knocked her down with his fist. In October, 1897, it is averred, he again knocked her down, and on this occasion locked the doors of the room, drew a razor and threatened to kill the plaintiff and her child. She escaped through a - window, she says, and took refuge in the house of a neighbor. In her complaint Mrs. Zimmerman expressed the fear that her husband would try to get possession of their child or lay claim to their household effects while the case is pending. Judge Harvey issued an order which will restrain the defendant from in any way disturbing the plaintiff. Damages for a. Gas Explosion. The damage suit of William Nicewander against the Van Camp Packing Company is on trial in Room 2. Superior Court. The plaintiff was employed as an engineer by the defendant concern.

Patriotic Purpose of Colonial Dnnie*— Local Committee Appointed. At the biennial council of the National Association of Colonial Dames, held recently in Washington, the following resolution was enthusiastically adopted: “Whereas, The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, formed in 1891 for the. purpose of inspiring true patriotism and love of country, has, in times of peace and prosperity, taken pleasure in promoting a more active interest in our history and in the noble acts of those who established this country, it becomes its duty in times of war or disaster to give such assistance and encouragement as may be in its power, “Be it therefore resolved. That we appoint a suitable committee to organize a national sanitary committee, with branches in every State in the Union, whose duties shall be to earnestly co-operate in all measures to provide necessaries and comforts for our army and navy and for sufferers in any great national disaster, and to alleviate the distress and anxieties of their families, and by every means in Its power to promote a brave submission to the will of our Heavenly Father and the decrees of our temporal rulers.” President McKinley has given his approval of the project, and the society has centered its llrst efforts to the furnishing of the ambulance ship, “The Solace,” with comforts and delicacies for the sick and wounded in our navy. She is already laden with good things supplied entirely by the National Society of Colonial Dames, and will follow our war ships and distribute these delicacies wherever most needed. Mrs. Mary Harrison McKee, president of the Indiana society, appointed a committee consisting of Mrs. W. J. Holliday, Mrs. Bement Lyman, Mrs. Joseph A. Milburn. Mrs. Charles F. Sayles and Mrs. John M. Judah to co-operate with the societies of Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin in an immediate response to an appeal for aid from the surgeon general of the navy.

Mrs. Milburn tendered the use of her home for any entertainment which it may be deemed necessary to give for the raising of money. It is hoped that this cause will appeal to the sympathies of the public, and will meet with a ready and generous response. PROPYLAEUM STOCKHOLDERS. Annual Meeting Held YesterdayFinances and AVork.

AFTER THE “BARREL HOUSES.” There Are 220 That Do Not Pay City or State License*. Local saloon keepers are very much in earnest in their determination to wipe out the evils of the “barrel houses.” A committee consisting of Joe Schaub, Phil Zaps, Albert Hitzelberger, Harry Moran, William Wiesse, Frank O’Brien, Marlon M. Scott, Dennis O’Brien and John Egnew yesterday visited the County Commissioners and afterwards went to Mayor Taggart’s office to discuss the situation. They represented that while 701 United States licenses have been issued, but 481 state and city licenses have been taken out, leaving 220 that do not pay anything except the federal fee. This means, they said, that 220 men fall to pay the SIOO state and $250 city license fees, thus cutting off about $T7,000 annual revenue from the state and city. The commissioners informed the saloon men that they had already appointed a license inspector to look after the delinquent “barrel house” keepers and expected to take proper steps to remedy the evil. The saloon men called on the mayor, but lie was not in. They will see him later and urge him to take steps to require the quart house keepers to take out city licenses. They claim that most of the 220 men are selling liquor in less quantities than live gallons and can be reached.
