Three hundred and twentyfive suits have been brought against the Monon in the Putnam circuit court by the prosecuting attorney for failure to comply with the blackboard bulletin law. As the penalty for each offense is $25, half of which goes to the prosecution an conviction, the aggregate attorney’s fees in these 325 cases will amount to $4,062.50 and as much more for the state. The new sheriff of Marion county has brought suit to test the fee and salary law. Other sheriffs-elect throughout the State have joined him and the case will be taken to the higher court. This case is brought on the grounds that there are certain sections of the law which were not repealed by the act of 1891, particularly those referring to the disposition of prisoners, the appointment of bailiffs and attendance on the grand jury.

Rev. Ira Hicks, the weather prognosticator whose prophecies has been eminently successful, has predicted that cholera will be with us in the spring. As "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” much will depend upon the local health boards.

Advices from Washington give notice that the treasury has ordered the shipment of 86,000 more souvenir coins to Chicago. These coins will be the last with 1892 on them, the rest of the 5,000,000 bearing the date of 1893. So far the treasury has paid out 720,000 half dollars on approved vouchers. The mint is running full capacity, 20,000 coins daily, and at that rate it will be the last of July before the issue is completed. Secret Service Officer Carter has $15,000 in counterfeit money which he will send to the Treasury department at Washington. In the collection of the money are several $500 and many $200 and $100 bills. In one bag he has 342 quarters which were secured from a sachel owned by one James Walker who was sent to the penitentiary recently for counterfeiting. Mr. Carter has been six months in making his collection.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Suda L. Grimme was granted a divorce from her husband, Calvin Grimme, at the October term of court on the charge of cruelty, he having knocked her down several times. Suda owns a farm near Virgie and shortly after the divorce was granted she hired her former husband to care for the stock. Being in the company of each other constantly the old feeling of love returned and last Saturday they were again granted license to be married, and now seem to be as happy as two cooing doves.
