HOLD, HAD liURGLAKS

Try Their Hand at Lakeville-The VandalU Agent Held Up. Three burglars broke into the rear room of A. 0. Van Liew's store at Lakeville Sunday morning at 3 o'clock. While they were getting in, W. Y. Watkins, the Vandnlia 6tation agent, came upon them as he was returning home. The thieves drew their guns on him and kept hi in standing there until they gave up getting into the store room, as they could not force the door. They then went through his pockets, taking 40 ad his girld watch, after which they marched him down to the Vandalia switch and locked him in a box car when they bade him "good night" and took their leave. After about 20 minutes he succeeded in getting the car door open and at once gave the aiarm and several citi zens started out to hunt them, but they could not be located. It is thought they were from South iiend and were com mon hobo thieves, as they had no tools for safe blowing. It was these robbers that the Lakeville citizens were looking for, when Mr. IJerry, the cook at the Ross house, wa3 driving through, the account of which is given elsewhere in this issue. Pulk Township tu ltalse Sugar Meets. The factory which has lately been established at North Judson for the manufacture of sugar out of sugar beets did not succeed in finding as much acreage suitable for the cultivation of the beet in the immediate neighborhood of North Judson as it desired. Its promoters were compelled to go farther away from home and they have lately entered into contracts with same of our Polk township farmers. The sugar beet culture is, though new, a promising and a rising industry, and there is much land in Marshall county out of which much money could be realized if sown with this vegetable. The conditions imposed by the company are that no lees than five acres must be guaranteed by any one man and they in turn promise to pay 84 per ton. Those farmers who have already entered the field have guaranteed from 5 to 40 acres apiece. As Polk township is a considerable distance from the refinery, the growers there will be compelled to pay freight, but car-load rates will be given them and it will not amount to more than 25 cents per ton. However, they are promised, if successful next year, a factory at Walkerton in 1901. An average yield is from 12f to 15 tons per acre A very poor one, which is being harvested this year in Michi gan because of drought, is from 6 to 9 tons per acre. The two Webb brothers, who are prosperous farmers of Marshall county, recently went to Ray City, Mich., where there is a plant located, and inspected the land lying near there and the method of harvesting the beet, and are prepared to begin the cultivation in earnest. Council Proceeding. The council met in regular session Monday night. The petition of C. S. Cleveland ask ing for the privilege of erecting a store house on that part of First street south of Madison street and in front of the Vandalia depot, was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. The petition of Fred Koontz to tap the Bewer was granted. The report of the street commissioner was received and placed on file. The streets and alleys committee in troduced resolutions for the authoriza tion of certain improvements about the city. The street commissioner reported the walk along lot 72, Cabbell's addi tion, to cost 815.34, and the amount was ordered entered on the tax duplicate against the owner. The streets and alleys committee re ported favorably on the petition of J. E. Hanes et al , to open alley. The following bills were allowed dur ing the evening: S. E.McCullough 811.42 Adam Kebert 47.75 Wm.Siddall .'fO.00 W. S. R. Smith 2.1 Lemuel Rhodes 13.75 L.C.Cross 15.00 E. S. Rrooke 3.15 A. C. North 4.20 II. W.

Whitehead, the woman conspicuous in the Pettit murder case and whose death was reported last week, executed her last will and testa ment on May 18, 1898, and this docu ment was probated in the Tippecanoe circuit court late Saturday evening. Francis Aeheson, an ex-commissioner and an old and intimate friend of the family, who had been named in the will as executor, qualified by filling bond in the sum of 820,000. To her brothers, Albert and George E. Meharry, who had been previously well provided for, nothing is left. A number of gifts of personal effects is made to persona who

bad befriended her in the time of adversity, a cash bequest of 8800 going o Olhe Reese Whitehead, who proved her devotion during the trial of Pettit, it being impossible to shake her testimony. There were one-hundred-dollar gifts to her neice8,E lma Julian, Elma and Jessie Hawthorne, and 8200 to her nephew

Emery Hawthorne; 8500 to Mrs. Francis Acheson; five shares :f bank stock to Ethan Meharry. After a few other 6 in all bequests the remainder of the property, real and personal, is given equally to the children of Ethan Meharry and Mrs. Hawthorne, share and share alike. I here are seven of these heirs. Teachers' Institute. The teachers of Tippecanoe township met in institute at Tippecanoe, Satur day, Oct. 14, The subject "De votional Extrcises" was hand'ed bv Prof. S. A. Laird, the principal thought being that the exercises were more of a form than the real spirit of the thing. R. E. Barrett gave, "How to Teach Reading" siying that one of the first re quirements of a teacher in reading is for him to have a full understanding and love for the nature of the subject. He also stated that the teac. ing of reading is not having the proper effect, hat it is neglected all along the line. The mechanical method is not the most perfect, the thought method is better, but we finally arrive at the crowning point through both methods. J. F. Laird then took up the subject The Criterion if Time," and said that time, pitch, quality and force are em bodied in the suoject, and the teacher must get all these points before he can give the thought the author intended. The subject of "Grouping" was given in a very interesting way by O. N. Taylor who mad3 it clear that the grouping of punctuation depends on the thought. C. F.Cooper gave a talk on "The First Day of School." A. M. Laird gave the institute some new ideas on, "Opening and Organization of the Schools. The afternoon session met at 1:30. Supt. Marks being present took the chair. The subject of "Classification of Pupils" was taken by C. W. Warren who said there must be a number of pupils who can unite in the same mental act to form a class. The subject of "Program" was de lightfully presented b Miss Grace Hall by a model program. Miss Bertha Fites gave "Heating and Ventilation" in a very instructive way. Prof. S. A. Laird followed with "Or ganic Education," stating that the principal thought in education is not a preparing for life, but it is life and that it is entering into the abundant life as taught by Jesus Christ and that organic education is the organized, unified education as broad as the universe. In conclusion Supt. Marks gave a good talk on school work. The insti tute then adjourned to meet at Tippecanoe, Nov. 4. David Hakkinutox, Chairman, II Ahle y W. Tay Lou, Secretary. Took It Coolly. Speaking of the sentence of Larry Spellman to 11 years in the Jackson prison, for robbing the Richland (Mich.) bank, the Kalamazoo Gazette ot Tuesday says: He was calm and self-possessed when the sentence was rendered and walked stoically back to his cell, without saying a word. William Russell, one of the gang of robbers, who turned state's evidence against his pals, is still in jail, his case not being on the calendar of the present term of court. He will probably be leniently dealt with as a reward for having furnished information that convicted Slater, Allison and Spellman. "Little Joe" and "Whitey" Black, who were supposed to have had a hand in the robbery are still at large. Kail road Notes. The Pennsylvania inspection party passed over all the main line iu the Pan Handle system, and the Toledo, Peoria & Eastern. The latter is owned jointly by the Chicago, Burlington & (Juiucy and the Pennsylvania. Yesterday they completed the inspection of the Pan Handle between Richmond and Pittsburg via Bradford. Fast mail train No. 11, over the Pennsylvania and Vandalia, is now hauling nine cars, but the large passenger engines are making the fast time with creditable regularity. $':t,000 Fire Near South Heml. Early Sunday morning lire was discovered in five places in the extensive dairy barns and hay sheds on the Hon. Clem Studebaker's farm, and being too far for the lire department to render much assistance, three brick barns. 180 feet long, a large frame barn of equal length, and fences and four great sheds were burned, along with 190 tons of hay, eight horses, with vehicles, etc. Eighty dairy cattle were saved. The loss to Mr. Studebaker is 820,000, and to Henry Stevens, tenant, 83,000. I'enna to Make Another Change. It is given out that the Pennsylvania will about the first of the month run the east local from Clark Station to Plymouth instead of Valparaiso, a change will also be made on the east local though the points have not yet I been decided upon.

MURDER AND SUICIDE

THOMAS J. APPLE. QF NEAR INWOOD. KILLS HIS DIVORCED WIFE AND HIMSELF. He Slip Up Behind .Mrs. Apple While She 1 I'reparlnfj a Meal and Ktuptien a Shot Gun Ilarrel Causing Her Instant Heath Goes to the Yard and Leaning Over tlu Weapon. Send the Contents of the Other Hurrel Into His Own Chest -A Sad A flair. Thomas J. Apple, a farmer living south of Inwood, shot and instantly killed his divorced wife between 3 and 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and immediately afterward killed himself. Mr. Apple possessed an exceedingly irritable temper and he was urged on to this crime by his wife's recently procuring a divorce. Just Monday afternoon she was granted a divorce from her husband on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. They had been divorced about five years ago but were remarried again in about six months. His abuse did not cease and so brutal was his treatment of her, that she came to be in absolute fear of him. This was the cause of their second divorce. They left the court room together after the trial, but it was noticed that he was very much wrought up and his passion barely held in check, but of course nothing was thought of it at the time. Tuesday he began to remove some of his furniture from the home and while his wife was stirring some mush on the kitchen stove he approached from behind and emptied one barrel of a double-barreled shot gun. The load was not the ordinary powder and shot shell nsed in hunting, but a slug of his own making. It entered on the right side, slightly back of and beneath the arm and issued from the left side a little lower down and more to tbe front. He went out into the yard, rested the butt of the gun on the ground, and bending forward holding the barrel pointed toward his chest, pushed the trigger with a slick. He fell back on the ground and was found with the gun at his feet. Both had bled profusely, their clothing, the kitchen iioor.and the yard near where Mr. Apple lay were besmeared with blood and gave evidence of the butchery that had been going on. There was no one near at the time the shooting occurred, but a man who was hauling gravel on tbe road near by says he heard the second shot, the first one have been muffled by being fired in the house. Coroner Sarber, of Argos, was sent for and an inquest was held over the bodies last night, The couple have been married since 1800, he being about CO years old and his wife 57, and are the parents of nine children. A son, Charles, has been working in the Novelty works, and Tuesday when the messenger informed him of what had occurred he mused a minute and then remarked, "Well, I'm not surprised." His father was a desperate character and he well knew what to expect. ItVK TO VACCINATION. Claim That Osceola Small I'ox Case Resulted Therefrom. The Mishawaka correspondent of the South Bend Times says: The statement has been made here by a person well acquainted with the facts that the small pcx casein the family of Lewis Walters at Osceola was the direct result of vaccination. It is said the girl was vaccinated a few days previous; that when the rash developed her father took her to a Chicago physician for treatment, and upon arriving there the doctor told him she had small pox, due to the action of the virus applied, and that he should hasten home with the girl. If this is true, the Chicago doctor's system of taking precautions against the spread of infectious diseases cannot be commended for the trip home meant dangerous exposure to scores of railway passengers. This story may be true and serves to confirm the theory rapidly gaining foothold among some medical men that vaccination is an antiquated practice; that it is not a preventive but is positively detrimental. Northwest Territory reposition. Mr. J. H. Stoll, of the South Bend Times, has received his commission as a member of the board of managers of the Northweet Territory exposition, to be held at Toledo, Ohio, in 1903. This exposition will be held in commemoration of the establishment of the NorthWest Territory aud of Ohio's admission to statehood. A preliminary meeting of the board of managers will be held at Indianapolis, on Thursday, Oct. 2. In the Court Itooiu. The case of Elsie W., R. Henry, Lena, F. W., Minnie and Dora Fromm against J. K. Lawrence and J. II. Matchett to quiet title, was decided Tuesday In favor of the defendants. It was immediately appealed to the supreme court by the plaintiffs. Catherine Fairbanks was today granted a divorce from Hiram Fairbanks.

The defendant was ordered to pay the plaintiff's attorneys' fees of 30 and give her 8250 alimony as well as a few household goods. The cae of John H. Steinick vs. Lydia and Isaac Vanskyhawk and the Citizens' Building and Loan Association of Indiana for mechanic's lien, was brought up this morning and a finding for the plaintilf given. The defendants were ordered to pay the attornty fees of 810, a foreclosure of the lien was ordered, and an order of sale given. Elijah Whitmer, a child kept at the Hrightside Orphan's home, was adopted by Christopher and Elsie Weiss and his name changed to Waldemar Arthur Weiss. In the case of the State against Norman Woodward for trespass, the motion

to quash the amdavit was sustained. NO LONGF.lt IIAGU A ( F. ou Will Have to I'n tor Itlcycle on Trains Hereafter. The bicycle must pay. The edict has gone forth from a meeting of the gen eral passenger agents of all the railway lines in the central part of the United Stateß, held recently in Chicago. A uni form charge of 0 per cent of the price of the passenger's ticket will be charged for checking a bicycle. The action is the result of a recommendation made by all the general passenger agents and will go into effect as soon as it is approved by the general passenger agents on the lines east of Pittsburgh and Buffalo and this is as good as granted. Every wheel, no matter how great or short, the distance it is to be transported, will be treated as fifty pounds of excess baggage. The Novelty Now a Part of the American Itirytle Company. The Indiana Novelty MTg Co. is now a recognized branch of the American Bicycle company. News to this effect was received by Mr. Thayer yesterday. This is a result which has been ardently bought and worked for by Mr. Thayer and Mr. Marble frr many weeks, and to bring it about they have made repeated trips to New York to prove to and impress upon the promoters of the huge consolidation the fitness of our factory to enter the combine. Success is at last theirs and for their zealousness in this enterprise Plymouth owes them much gratitude. The Novelty will hereafter be kDown as "The Indiana Novelty MTg Co. Division of the American Bicycle Co." the managers being Georg H. Thayer and George W. Marble. Verdict Against the Monon. Barringer Brown, an extensive farmer, brought suit in the Jasper circuit court at Rensselaer against the Monon railway company because of flying sparks from a passing locomotive which started a tire that burned over 2,000 acres. The land lies near Lowell. The trial lasted three weeks, and on Saturday evening a jury returned a verdict for 810,000 in favor of the plaintilf. Six months a?o John Brown, a brother of the plaintiff, obtained judgment for 85,000 because of similiar losses. Fortune Awaits Them. Emma and Leona Card, of Laporte, have been advised that they will each receive 850,000 when they shall have attained their majority, the bequest of a wealthy English lady who died recently, they being her great grandchildren, says a special to the South Bend Tribune. The bequest was the gift of Lady Max, a titled English woman, and the two children are the daughters of E N. Card, a fisherman, who is comparitively poor. The Hay Crop a Failure. Hay buyf-'-s say that the Indiana crop is below the 'standard in both quality and quantity and eastern dealers who are feeling the effects of a failure of the grass in the seaboard states are disappointed in coming to the Indiana market. Baled Hay is selling at 811 a ton, while the loose article is being disposed of readily at frem 810 to 812 a ton. Purchased Halls. Notwithstanding the high price of steel rails, the Pennsylvania railroad has contracted for 100,000 tons. It is said that the Cambria Iron company, the Carnegia company, the Pennsylvania Steel company, and the Federal Steel company will furnish 25,000 tons each at 833 a ton. Former litdixna Legislator Iead. Ex Sheriff Nelßon Ferris, aged 82 years, once a member of the Indiana legislature, and a voter to the fourteenth amendment of the constitution died at Mishawaka Tuesday. Small I'ox in Kenton Harlntr.
