Indianapolis. A us'. 22. Whether a
divorce which hr.s been proper ij
granted by the judge before whom the case was heard is legal, despite tl.o fact that the records of the court fail
to show that such a separation was granted, is a question that may become of more than passing interest to a number of Indianapolis people whoso
wedded life has been legally terminated in the superior and circuit courts of Marion county, and who have afterward remarried.
Four Cases Found; More Probable. The investigators for the I'nited
States census bureau, who are looking
up divorce statistics in this city, to be used in connection Avith statistics compiled from other cities as a basis for the formation of a uniform divorce law for the United States, have discovered that several divorce decisions rendered in the Marion county courts have never been placed on record. The local census bureau investigators have found
four cases of which no record of the
decree exists and it is expected that
many more will be found before their
work is completed.

as a result of the circulation of false news that the observatory had announced a second horrible catastrophe to be imminent. People would not sleep indoors, and large numbers spent

thing was a misapprehension on tho
part of the people.

The Mainspring. Tla money makes the mare ffo; 'Tls money makes the heir go, And I opine By that same s!sn It sometimes makes dull care go. Tl3 money builds the phanty; 'Tls money feeds tho ante; A roll of It Will make a hit With sage or dilettante. Though we affect to scorn It As though it wero a hornet. We make a fight When it's In sight And try our best to corn it. Tis money grinds the axes; 'Tis money pays tho taxes; It seasons mirth And makes the earth Go round upon Its axis. It gets us cuffs and collars; It smooths the path for scholars; It buys lis brains And railroad trains; That's why we need the dollars. And, though the truth Is shocking, We like to see It flocking Into our till. Enough to fill Our largest holeless stocking.

When a man goes away from a small
town to a big city that fact casts a
sort of halo about his head. He is supposed by every one to have struck it
rich at once, and those who remain at
home can conceive of him as nothing

He buys a new suit of clothes on time, works his alderman for a pass, and with $20 in loose change in his pocket can give a pretty fair imitation of a millionaire for about a day and a half.
