Shively of Wabash, dejjartment commander of the Grand Army of the Republic for Indiana, reissued a notillcation that the -stale soldiers’ home committee has undertaken the work of providing a home for every needy soldier, soldierjs, wife or widow in the state at the home in Lafayette. The new home is over crowded, even at the opening, and the plan is to secure funds with which to build a cottage for each county on the statehome grounds at Lafayette. Commander Shively recommends that posts riot located at county seats act with county seat posts in circulating petitions to the county commissioners for an appropriation of SSOO from each county to be used in the erection of a county cottage. Blank petitions arc now being sent out. Our Congressman on Cuban Matters. Congressman L. W. Royse thus freely expresses himself on the Cuban question;, “,I have a warm sympathy for the people of Cuba in their struggle to rid themselves of the misgovernmont of Spain, and the attitude of the United States toward these people should be friendly. But whatever we do should be done within the bounds llxed by the well recognized principle of international law. We boast of being a law-abiding people, and can not afford to go be/ore the world in any other attitude. We complained, and justly, too, of the undue haste of other nations in recognizing the southern confederacy during the war of the rebellion. We should not now be. guilty of the same precipitancy. There'seems to be a great lack of reliable information as to the progress made by the insurgents in Cuba. I would therefore, favor the appointment of a commission to inquire into the state of affairs there, in order that we might act with proper prudence,” New Case* Filed In The Circuit Court. Mary E. Lesh asks for a divorce from John .11. Lesh on the grounds of cruel treatment. Property rights have been settled out of court. Allie Freese has brought suit against her husband for support, and prays for the appointment of a receiver for the estate They were married in 1388, and he deserted her in 1895. —Other new cases: State vs. Ed Caton, cruelty to animals; McNeil & Higgins Cos. vs. John W. Evans, change of venue on account. Mother and Babe, Both equally benefited by the use of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Is the baby constipated? Then try this pleasant liquid laxative, both sure and mild, and pleasant to the taste. Has the mother indigestion or sick headache? There is nothing so effective.

Business of The Circuit Court. c The September term of the circuit court opened Monday morning. J udge Wilson was on the bench, and there were present about thirty attorneys. In the divorce case of Viola Cart vs. John W. Cart, the matter was dismissed, the parties having decided to live together. i In the case of the State on relation of Freda George against Philip Welch, the case was dismissed by the estate agreeing to pay the plaintiff SBSO. The Goshen News says that Grand Jurors Rev. A. 11. Reinoehl, D. T. Kauffman, Louis Iffert, James Casper, George N. Sweitzer and F. V. B. Minnich reported in court at 9 o’clock Monday morning. Henry Ganger was substituted in place of Mr. MinDich who was excused, and the gentlemen were asked to report again at 2 o’clock. At that hour Judge Wilson gave his instructions and the jurors retired in company with Deputy State’s Attorney Sims. In giving instructions the court referred to the charges concerning the poor farm management, and rumors relating to the methods of a certain insurance company in this county, which would probably be presented by the State's attorney for investigation. Public Sale of Registered Stock. * Smith Bros., 3 miles south of Middlcbury will have a public sale of registered stock, commencing at 12:30 p. m. on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10th, 1895. Nine head of Short-Horn cattle—cows, heifers, and calves, one l Jersey cow will be fresh about time of sale. Nine head of imported and home-bred Shropshire ewes, 5 head of ewe lambs, 1 yearling ram, 6 ram lambs. Four head of 6-month-old' Poiand-China boar pigs, and 1 sow pig—same litter. All these offerings are registered or eligible for registry. A credit of eight months will be given. Grumlchihlren I)o Not Become Heirs Jointly With Children. The supreme court has rendered a reverse decision in the case of Joseph Culp, et al. vs. Simon Culp, ct al. This action was tried in the Elkhart circuit court over a year ago, and involves a farm consisting of 160 acres. Under the will the widow was given a life interest and possession of the farm. Three of the children objected to this and sought to break The will so a division might be made, by which the widow could receive her one-third. The reversal was made on the error of the trial judge, and in his opinion Judge Hackney says: (1) A clause in a will directing the proceeds of an estate to be equally divided among all “my children,” share and share alike, the word “children” having been employed without manifesting an intent that it should include grandchildren, such devise would not include a granddaughter. (2) Where a testator willed his entire estate to his ten children there was no remedy by which the granddaughter could reach the oneeleventh thereof; and it was error for the trial court to charge the jury that if the decedent left living children and one grandchild ’ and in the execution of his will he failed to mention one-of his heirs. That in such case the presumption would he that such heir was overlooked or forgotten, she could not take, under the will, but would be entitled to take under the law, just as. if there was no will, -(3) There is no statute providing for children omitted in the provisions of an ancestor's will, and whether . ari omission in a will was caused from the lack of memory, unsoutldncss of the mind or undue influence is a question for the jury to determine.

Additional Local News. —The Plymouth Independent says that a certain prominent business man and church worker of that city has been conducting a poker game on the side, and when Chas. Rowe, a sec 1 tion hand, living not far from the city, wandered about town a few nights since with his month’s pay in his pocket, he fell an easy victim to these sharks. It promises to get into official hands, and a startling sensation will follow. —The following words are said to be the longest words in the English language; and perhaps, the only place and time they could be used with any satisfaction would be to hurl them at the base ball umpire. Here they are: Subconstitutionalist, incomprehensibility, philoprogenitiveness, honoriflcibilitudinity, anthropophagenarian, disproportionableness, velocipedestrianistical, proantitransubstantiationistical and traosubstantionableness. —Win. Ebnor would haves, been “snapped” for a cold $3,000 at Niles, Mich., had it not been for the bank officials who protested against his drawing his money to bet on the threecard game. It was the old story, often worked hut ever fresh for some “sucker”, where a man comes along and wants to buy a farm, and the second man, a partner in the game, drops down on them with hotting proclivities. The game has had whiskers for many years, hut catches ’em all the same. —At Elkhart last Saturday night heroic work of the llremen saved the Ilucklen opera house block from being destroyed by tire. The tire originated in the extreme south-east corner of the block in a couple of rooms on the second floor. The (ire was confined entirely to that quarter. The damage principally was to the furniture of two lady hair dressers who occupied the rooms hut who were absent when the lire broke out. The Jones & Punches’ drug store beneath suffered a loss of about SIOO by water. —Syracuse Register: John Hepler and wife started yesterday on a week’s tour in the vicinity of Nappanee where they intended visiting, and when near Milt Juday’s the old gray mare took fright and threw the old lady out of the buggy but luckily without injury, while John received a kick on the leg just below the knee. The marc succeeded in breaking the thills and kicked herself loose from the buggy, and was stopped until near Milford. Mr. Juday attended to the aged couple and after rendering all the assistance in his power, brought them hack to their home. —Some unknown party took from the Gentzhorn barn last Friday night W. R. Baiyeat’s roadster and drove her pretty hard, returning the animal to the barn toward morning. It w<tg someone acquainted with the surroundings, for they put on anew harness and went to another barn for the buggy to which they hitched the animal. The mare sweatted and it had dried on her though she was yet warm when the boy went to feed her Saturday morning. This is not the first time the same thing has happened in Nappanee, and some of these days there will tie trouble in store for the guilty party. C. Hanson, editor of the Advertiser, a prohibition paper at Ilobart, also late candidate for congresson that ticket, was thrown into jail at Laportc Friday. The complaint was made by Attorney Joseph Conroy of Hobart for criminal libel. Hanson was given several days in which to furnish bonds, and failing to do so was placed in jail to await the superior court in October. The trouble was brought about over temperance affairs. Attorney Conroy acted for several saloon men at Ilobart. Affairs did not move along as satisfactorily as Hanson wished, so he devoted nearly a page of his paper to denouncing the attorney. —An esteemed exchange is fair in its criticism when it says that some people are so anxious to avoid paying the home merchant a legitimate margin that they readily believe any fairy tale told them by sliek-tongued frauds who are entire strangers to them. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of these “soft snaps” offered by these fellows are swindles. The best plan is to patronize home merchants. They help pay a very large part of the taxes, help support the churches, the schools, etc., and are citizens among us. They are responsible for the goods they sell, and cud be found at any time should any thing be wrong or the goods not as represented. —An exchange says that Great Record Keeper Replogle, at Goshen, is up to his eyes in work. He is working almost night and day issuing Great Camp certificates and at the rate of

increase it will be less than two months until there will be a necessity for increasing the force in his office. There have been more than $1,000,000 of protection already written in the Great Camp and Great Record Keeper Replogle has done it with neatness and dispatch. The Sir Knights of Indiana have taken hold of the Life Benefit Fund with avidity and present prospects for a continuance of the good work are flattering indeed. —At Mishawaka last Wednesday evening the old Milburn House, a landmark of the thirties, was considerably damaged by Are. Effective work by the Are department saved it from total destruction. Insurance on the house was s9fooo. The loss was several thousand dollars. At one time during the tire people became alarmed for the safety of the business district, and thought that the disastrous Are of 1872 would be repeated. The South Bend department r.espond--6d with one cart, making the drive in 19 minutes. The building was owned jointly by Maryand Carrie Cass ami C. G. Towle. The landlord, Lawrence Kuhn, lost in the,neighborhood of 82,000 in damage by Are and water. Drinking Real Estate. Bob Burdette gives this simple lesson in mathematics: “My homeless friend with a chromatic nose, while you are stirring the sugar inia tencerit glass of gin let me give you a fact to wash down with it. You may say you have longed for years for the free independent life of the farmer, but have not been able to get enough money together to buy a farm. But this is just where you- are mistaken. For some years you have been drinking a good improved farm at the rate of a hundred square feet at a gulp. If you doubt this statement Agure it out yourself. An acre of land contains 43,560 square feet. Estimating for convenience the land at 543.56 an acre, you will see that it brings the land to just one mill per foot, one cent for ten square feet. Now pour down the Aery dose and imagine you are swallowing a strawberry patch. Call on Avc of your friends and have them help you gulp down that 500 foot garden. Get on a prolonged spree some day and see how long it requires to swallow a pasture land to feet) a cow. Put down that glass of gin, there is dirt in it —100 feet of good, rich, dirt, worth $43.56 per acre.” Must Have Been Collecting. An irate subscriber pulled a horse pistol on your humble servant Saturday, but happily for all concerned it was not loaded. Had his gun went off, we would have undoubtedly been “kilt entirely”.—J lillersbury Grit. —ls you want to read an all-around county newspaper subscribe for the News. Real EHtate Transfers.
