REMONSTRATORS IN OUT AGAIN THE RULING OF THE COMMISSIONERS SUSTAINED. THE LICENSE IS REFUSED Judge Dodge Not Willing to Split Hairs on Technical Legal Point. “If this man is entitled to a license he shall have it, if not, he will trot get It, 1 ’ said Judge James S. Dodge, of the Elkhart circuit court to the attorneys of both sides in the matter of the appeal of R. P, McLaughlin, of Nappaoee, applicant for a liquor license, McLaughlin was refused a license in the court of the Elkhart county commissioners. D. F. Brooks, of Wabash, and L. D. Vail, of Goshen, were the attorneys for McLaughlin. R. F. Deahl- appeared in behalf r ofthe remonstrators. It will be remembered that when the application was made for a license anew power of attorney remonstrance was filed, though the first bad not expired. The commissioners refused the license under the new remonstrance. The case went to the circuit court on an appeal. The legal question as to whether the remonstrance should have the proof of the power of attorney and the number of names sworn to as having been signed by the attorney. Mr. Deahl contended that it was unnecessary unless the applicant made sworn challenge to the validity of the signatures, ctol Judge Dodge, however, was not disposed to allow contentions over such* matters and gave Mr, Deahl opportunity to count the names on the remonstrance and sign it as attorney acting for the remonstrators, giving .the applicant the exception. In fact, it seems that the Only hold that the attorneys for the applicant had was the supposition that the court would not take the paper as evidence. But they also last on the proposition of the fairness of the court in allowing the technical correction by Mr. Deahl. It was tae opinion of the court that it best that the case should not go up to the higher court on a technicality and the applicant be allowed to se'll in the meanwhile and be liable for all such sales if the case should beversed. The applicant! will have ten days in which to make an appeal. FROM THE ANTILLES. 4 ' * ■ ■: *'■ Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Benefits a City Councilman at Kingston, Jamaica. Mr. W.

"You will be pressed for money oftener because you have no advertising bills to pay than because you have,” observes The Buffalo News- “Big ad--vertislng bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same pub-' licity campaigns. The merchant who holds down his expense account by cutting out advertising saves money "just the way the railroads would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won’t turn; without publicity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the: window 1 that gold may come'in at the door.” -7- ’ . ‘ ■ .

Walters.HOBSON AND NAPPANEE PEOPLE KNEW A GOOD THING BEFORE THEY SAW IT. \ The Influence of the Home Paper For Morals And The Church When Put to That Use. Editor Groves of the Milford Mail has the following article in this week’s issue regarding the Daily News, the revival meetings, and Nappanee people. The article Is more appreciated W'TSason of Editor .Groves having himself been In evangelistic work. Here is the article: “The citizens of Nappanee and Dr. Hobson well knew their business when they encouraged a daily Issue of the News during the revival season. After the smoke of the revival that is now in progress in that town has cleared -away and scores have been converted, a great share ought of right belong to the editorof the News. It- is true great held each evening but the dally report being heralded every day into more than five hundred homes, is one of the features that created the real want to be there. Not only this, but the home paper carries with It a weight of Tnftuenee, and when the reports of the meetings are read, it is generally Inferred that the religious uplift is endorsed by the editor, and this prestage is a great factor in the meetings. If a correct report could be rendered at Nappanee of the usual stay-at-homes during a series of meetings, it tvould show that a great number are attending because of the daily reports given in their home paper. This now explains why in rural districts where there |s a meeting In session that so man|y remain away. They perhaps are irot.. interested because the meeting is not heldin tb.eir preferred"cburcb and no one has called their attention to the. grea't awakening thMJs going onwithiaa stone’s throw of bis residence. Since the meetings have been In Nappanee_j we have been stimulated to make 1 this sudgAStion, and we do so in all candor, j In towns where a papet is published and two churches have a desire to form, a union for revival services, then- can . be -no better investment than for„ the church to encourage the issuing of a daily paper so long as the meetings shall last.” —Tablets aithllfews onokstoreTn

He was aware of his wife’s admiration of Showalter, and in fact found a bicycle in his yard when he returned home suddenly one evening. Mrs. Showalter was also aware of her husband’s disloyal conduct and upbraided him, and they once were at the point of separation, when she forgave him for the sake of her children. ShowalteFs disappearance caused much comment at the time, although it was stated that Mrs. Singer would follow him. Mr. and Mrs. Singer were married August 15, 1887, and separated October 24, 1907. Mr. Singer alleges statutory offense on and after July 4feh last. He asks for the custody of his two children, Mabel, 17 years of age, and Donald, 15 years of age. Bachelors Win.
