Montioello has been holding a corn carnival this week. All the immoral features, the advertisements said, would be eliminated, and, so far as we have heard, were.

By the burning of the Hetzler summer hotel at Cedar Lake early Tuesday morning, William Potter and Mrs. Otis Guernsey of Ainsworth, Lake county, lost their lives. They had driven to Cedar Lake, it is said on marriage intent. They arrived late at night and found the hotel filled with guests, as this is the hunting season, and with difficulty were assigned rooms by the proprietor. Daring the confusion incidental to the fire Mr. Potter was not aroused, and he was last seen in his attempt to carry Mrs. Guernsey down a burning stairway. Both fell and were cremated. i

ADVERTISED FOR A WIFE. Wealthy Pulaakl County Parmer Marrlee Oae •f the Scores of Applicant* for Life Partnership. , Miss Mildred E. Smith, formerly of Indianapolis, but now of Noblesville, and Daniel Overmeyer of Pulaski county, were married in Noblesville, Tuesday night, October 6, 1903, the Rev. B. S. Hollopeter, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. The bridegroom is sixty-five years old, and the bride between twentyfive and thirty years. Mr. Overmeyer’S marriage to Miss Bmith is the result of an advertisement for a wife.

When he wrote to the newspapers that he desired a helpmate, he went into details as to his wealth by announcing that he was the owner of 320 acres of fine land with an elegant country home; that he had his farm stocked with fine cattle and horses; that he was a good provider to the extent of killing three beeves a year; that he was sixtyfive, but was still active; that he could broadcast fifteen acres a day against the wind, and that he had eleven children, all of whom are grown, and each of whom has received forty acres of land and S7OO as their fall share. In reply to this advertisement Mr. Overmeyer received fiftynine letters from Indiana women and several from foreigners. Qe did not consider the latter for the reason that he thought Indiana was good enough to furnish him a wife. “You ought to see some of the things they said to me,” said Mr. Overmeyer, when he reached Noblesville to claim his bride. “They asked me more questions than a lawyer could ask. They asked if I was of a loving disposition, if I was willing to show my wife a good time, if I snored when I slept. Oh, but the women are a lively lot! I have been so busy with my farm work that I did not have the time to answer all of them, but I am on deck all right to-day. “I do not want ope of the old campmeeting grandmothers, neither do I want one of these society women. I want a farmer’s wife, one of the kind that can tell a Canadian thistle from a hollyhock. Now I have found her, I intend to make her happy, and when I am gone I will leave her a ‘nest egg’ as big as a stack of hay,” Mr. and Mrs. Overmeyer left soon after the ceremony for their home near Monterey. : —Winatnac Journal.

GOVERNOR TO TOUCH BUTTON.

Governor Durbin, on October 24, will touch a button that will start the work on the East Chicago ship canal. The pressure of the electric button will start one of the suction dredgers that are to be employed in the work of excavating the canal. At noon of October 24, Governor Durbin and bis party will leave Chicago for East Chicago, passing through the Indiana harbor indrnetrial districts. From East Chicago the party will make its way to a point about onehalf mile distant, where work on the canal is to begin. The firat mile of the canal, to be constructed by the Great Lakes Dredging Company, to be completed in a year, and the entire canal, three and one-half miles in length, twenty feet deep, one hundred feet wide is to be completed in two years. The oanal is to lead from Lake Michigan to Wolf lake, and for this reason means mnch to Hammond. The building of the canal will be of incalculable value to the northern part of the State on account of the facilities it will offer for shipping. As a further benefit to the northern part of the State, Michigan Central interests are to consruct a coal road to Terre Hante.

A LADY SHOEMAKER.

Fowler Leader: The American women have followed nearly every vocation that has been tried by man, bat the latest addition of the “new woman” is famished by Perrysville, where they have a lady that works at the bench repairing shoes. The lady is Ella Rabb, a daughter of the late Smith Rabb, and a sister of Judge Joseph M. Rabb, of Williamsport. Her father owned a shoe store and on his death she took charge of it. Last spring the store burned down and all that was saved was a shoemaker’s bench and tools. She rented a room and started in the business of repairing boots and shoes. She is not obliged to follow the trade however, but prefers being busy and is ambitious to make herself useful in the world, and has chosen this method.

O. H. McKay has one of the neatest and cleanest laundries in the state, right here in Rensselaer. The public onght to be prond of it.

THE OUt ROUBLE Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE

THE PAPAL CONCLAVE.

Cardinal Gibbons Describes the Election of Pius X. EE PLEADED AGAIN3T PROMOTION With Tear* la HU Eye*, Cardinal Sarto Implored HU Colleagae* Hot to Choose Him as Successor to Loo Xlll.—Absolute Freedom tad Fairness Marked the Election. At a service of thanksgiving for the election of the new pontiff, Pius X., recently held in the cathedral at Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons, who preached for the first time si neb bis return from Borne, gave an impressive description of the conclave and of the new pontiff, says the New York World. He said in part: “The conclave marks a new and important era in the annals of the American Catholic church. This is the first time in the history of the Christian religion that the United States or any part of this western hemisphere was ever associated with the other nations of Christendom in selecting a successor to the chair of Peter.

“I should not be at all surprised if in the next conclave the Catholic church of the United States will be represented by several members of the sacred college, so that the number of cardinals from our country may be commensurate with the population, the grandeur and the commanding Influence of the nation, and may be In keeping also with tbe numerical strength of our hierarchy and laity and the splendor and progress of our religious and charitable institutions. “I was present at tbe conclave and took part in its proceedings, and without revealing its secrets I can most positively assure you and the American people that the election of the pope was conducted with absolute freedom, with tbe utmost fairness and impartiality and with a dignity and solemnity becoming the august assemblage of tbe sacred college and the momentous consequences of their suffrages “I have witnessed debates In tbe British parliament, in the French chambers and in both bouses of congress, and I must candidly say that in sobriety of language and In courteous deportment of members toward one another the college of cardinals surpassed them all. And this is the more noteworthy when we consider that some twelve different nationalities, swayed by as many national characteristics, were represented in the assembly. On leaving the Slstlne chapel at the conclusion of the conclave and contemplating the overruling action of the Holy Ghost on these heterogeneous elements I exclaimed. The finger of God is here? ” 'The votes for Cardinal Sarto steadily increased from the first to the seventh ballot, on which he was elected. When tbe cardinal observed that the suffrages for him were augmenting, be was visibly disturbed, and in a fervent speech be implored bis colleagues not to regard him as a candidate. Contrary to bis wishes tbe votes for him increased. He then became alarmed, and in a second speech in most pathetic language he again besought tbe cardinals to forget his name, as be oould not accept a burden too heavy for him to bear. “All were moved by the modesty and transparent sincerity of tbe man. When he resumed his seat, his cheeks were suffused with blushes, tears were gushing from bis eyes, and his body trembled with emotion. It was only after some of the leading cardinals entreated him to withdraw his opposition that he finally and reluctantly consented to abide by the will of God and accept the sacrifice. Never did a prisoner make greater efforts to escape from his confinement than did Cardinal Sarto to escape from the yoke of the papacy. With his Divine Master, he exclaimed: ‘Father, if It be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.’ “When his election was officially announced, his florid countenance assumed a deathly pallor, and restoratives were applied to save him from fainting. So little did Cardinal Sarto expect to be the choice of his colleagues that on setting ont for Rome be purchased s return ticket to his home in Venice. “Pius X. is in his sixty-ninth year. The virtues of humility, sincerity, candor and benevolence are stamped on his features. I can characterise him in one sentence by saying that ‘he is a man of God and a man of the people-’ ”
