The saloon at this place went out of business at 11 o’clock Tuesday night. Some people had expected that there would be a rather boisterous time that night, but nothing of that sort was in evidence, in fact one could not tell the difference between that and any other night. There is rejoicing among the temperance forces for the victory. Although the general opinion seems to be that the remonstrance will b'e contested and defeated, it has been authoritively stated that Mr. Garrity has no intentions of taking the matter into the courts, as it was at first thought he would do. Noah J. Yoder and his wife went to Rensselaer last Monday and according to the laws ot Indiana, procured a marriage license and were wedded the same day by Rev. O. E. Miller. On Ddc. 29,’1895, they were married in the Ornish church by an Ornish preacher and are now the parents of six children, but for some reason or another it seems as though they became dissatisfied with that form and decided to get married in the usual manner, which they did. Some seem to think that this action is the outgrowth of several suits against Yoder and his wife now pending in the courts.
