SHE SUES FOR 83.0(H).

MARY DINKELDINE WANTS CATH ARINE MONESMITH TO COUCH UP. Says That Catharine Slandered Her and Wants $.1,000 to Patch I'p Her Wounded Reputation Families Are Itoth Prominent in Hour bo n To nship Monesinitli a Witness Againt Ills Wife. The case of Mary Dinkeldine vs. Catharine Monesmith came up in the circuit court Tuesday afternoon, Jesse Chaplin, Charles Drummond and Samuel Parker appearing for the plaiiititf and Martindale & Stevens for the defendant. The case is the outgrowth of charges made by Catharine Monesmith to the effect that she discovered her hut-band and Mr6. Dinkeldine in a sugar camp nearby her home after the molas6e season had closed and her other statements to the neighbors were of such a nature that Mrs. Dinkeldine became satisfied that her neighbors did not believe that she and Monesmith were out there gathering sugar water. Heing so convinced, Mrs. Dinkeldine sought her attorneys, bringing uit for damages to the amount of 3,000 against Mrs. Monesmith, who she says has injured her reputation aud peace of mind by slanderous aud untruthful statements. Mrs. Moneysmith in answer to the complaint acknowledges that she made the statements charged by the plaintiff, but avers that the statements are true, and hence there is no slander and her reputation is not made other by the statements than her character really is The parties all live in Uourbon township and the families have been well known in this county for years. Mrs. Monesmith has property in her own right, and what may seem strange is the fact that Mr. Monesmith is one of the main witnesses against his wife. The Monesmith-Dinkeldine caa occupied the attention of the coinr Wednesday. The evidence has gr,e to show that Monesmith was a chronic visitor at the Dinkeldine's. He and Mrs. Dinkeldine were sen talking to gether at varions tiW, and places. One witness saw them conversing to gether in the corn fodder yard, but the only direct evidence of guilt is that offered by Mrs. Monesmith, she clim ing that she discovered them together in the sugar-camp house. The Monesmith-Dinkeldine case came to a close yesterday, the judge finishing his instructions to the jury at 3 o'clock. The entire day was j taken up by the attorneys in reviewing the evidence in the case. Later The jury returned the following verdict last evening at 5 o'clock: "We, the jury, find for the plaintiff and assess her damages to the amount of 61,000." Commissioners' Court.

Facts Kegard inj; New Fertilizer Law of Indiana. The legislature at its last meeting amended the fertilizer law so that Indiana now has one of the simplest, most effective and most equitable fertilizer laws in the country. The new law provides: 1. That manufacturers shall register their goods stating the minimum quantity of each fertilizer ingredient. 2. The label or tag of the ttate chemist showing this minimum guarantee must be attached to every package of fertilizer sold, and also to every eample bottle u&ed in making sales. Where goods are sold in bulk or where only a few pounds are sold, a tag or label must be delivered to the purchaser with each 200 pounds or fraction of 200 pounds. 3. Roth buyer and seller are held responsible under the law. Anyone who receives any quantity of the fertilizer without the tag of the state chemist attached to every package is subject to the same penalty, a fine of $50, as the seller. 4. The statechemist employs trained men who travel about the state and make examinations to see if goods are properly labelled and take samples which are analyzed to learn if he fertilizer comes up to the legal guarantee. If the goods are not as guaranteed a penalty of $50 for the ffrst offense and $100 for each additional offense is provided. 5 Penalties are provided for any one who interferes with the work of an inspector. The full text of the law will be sent to those who request it. Nearly l.ot an Ke. Henry Hall, trustee of West town ship, came very nearly losing an eye a couple weeks ago.

IKCIIK TO PAVK.

City Fathers Meet in .Special Sein to Cousider the Onestiou. The pavement of Michigan and Laporte streets is almost a settled fact. The city council met in special session Monday night and were unamiously in favor of paving, although nothing definite can be done until the late law goes into effect. The estimates of the expense were carefully examined, and the committee was ordered to report the costof new piping for the water main at the next meeting, as it is necessary to have a new pipe before the streets are paved. It was decided to pave Michigan street from the Schultheisa residence south to the corporation line, and Laporte street from Michigan street to the Pennsylvania depot. The council will meet in regular eession next Monday evening, when the water will receive a further and more careful examination. Compelled to Reign. A sensation in South Rend politics is the action of Fire Chief William Raker, elected last Saturday night to succeed Chief Jacop Kerner, in resigning his place Monday afternoon within a few hours after assuming his duties. Inquiry showed that Raker, who had been a satisfactory chief of the department prior to Kerner's election, had been informed by Orchard Cotton, a member of the board of safety, that he should be remembered in giving out places, Cotton promising to vote for him as chief. The republican slate was fixed for Irving Sibrel, but Cotton probably expected that he could vote once for Raker and then fall back on Sibrel for the second ballot, and thus redeem his promire. A. J. Ward, the democratic member of the board, voted for Raker as soon as Cotton had cast his vote, and thus broke the slate. This caused a great commotion in certain circles. Influences then began to work, and Monday evening bore so heavily on Raker that he resigned. That night Sibrel succeeded Raker, and a great load was lifted from the minds of the republican leaders, says a South Rend special to the Indianapolis News. Tippecanoe Item. M. M.

Sugar Iteets lu Indiana. Allen county farmers are signing contracts agreeing to raise sugar beets for the plants at Fremont and Kalama zoo, Mich., but as the latter plant offers $4 a ton, free on board cars at Fort Wayne, home weight, to $3.75 offered by the Fremont company, the farmers naturally prefer the Kalamazoo market. The movement began only within two weeks, after the farmers had arranged their fields for the year, hence there

has been much less acreage contracted for than was possible a few months earlier. The Kalamazoo plant cleared $150,000 last year on an investment of S300,000 and Fort Wayne financier are becoming enthusiaetic for a sugar plant next season. It is expected that another season will witness 5,000 acres of beets growing in Allen county, equaling the record of Paulding county, across the Ohio line, this year. .IF.W OltSERV K PASSOVKR. The Festal season Will Confiuuo Seve.al !. The celebration of the Jewish feast of the pasover began Wednesday night with sundown. It will continue with the orthodox Jews for eight days and with the reformed Jew for seven Jays. The feast commemorates the delivery of the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt over 3,000 years ago. The feast is begun at sunset with a service in every Jewish home. At this service the father presides. The family gathers around the table upon which are symbols of the event. A roasted bone represents the paschal lamb, a loaf of unleavened bread represents the haste with which the Israelites departed from Egypt aud a bundle of bitter herbs reminds them of the bitter experiences of their forefathers. The father recites passages from the Talmud, relates the story of the liberation of the Jews and psalms are sung. The following day there is a service in the synagogue, with ceremonies appropriate to the occasion. In the orthodox synagogues services are held the first and second and seventh and eighth days of the feast, but the reformed Jews celebrate only the first and last days. The intervening days are half holidays. During the passover every orthodox Jew arrays himself in entirely new garments from head to foot and abstains from toil. I'nleavened bread is eaten throughout the term of the feast. Weather Koi t r .April.
