Indianapolis . prohibitionists bave about convinced themselves that their candidate for mayor, George Hitz, Is really going to be elected. This confidence is chiefly based upon the fact that a good many anti-Book waiter republicans and silver democrats have decided to support Mr. Hitz. But the prohibitionists will find that they lack several thousand votes after the poili are closed. . . - . Luck may he said to fairly pursue some jnen. A young German in Chicago, sick and out of work, sought aid from a charity society in the city and it was discovered when he gave' his name that he was the very one wanted to receive a check of $8,000 that had been left there by the German consul as the portion of a' legacy that) came to him through the death of a relati ve in the old country.

The frost In Colorado nipped every

thine but the sugar beets. As the sugar beet industry has been recently absorbed by the sugar trust it seems possible that Mr. J. Frost may have been fixed." Two drunken strangers were arrested Thursday night and lodged In jail. The city has been comparatively free from drunkenness and disorder during the carnival. It is seldom that a large crowd during so many days has not shown more viciousness. It is reported that a Fort Wayne police magistrate has decided that a man whose breath smells of liquor is drunk. If the matter should be legally brought before him he would no doubt iule that a man whose breath smells of limburger cheese is dead. The big' city dailies are-filled with reports of marriages in the highest circles of society contrary to the wishes of the girl's parents. There is nothing strange about that. The novels and short stories have preached In favor of such marriages a hundred years. The ten thousand-dollar damaeg suits brought by Mrs. William E Bowman and Mrs. Noah Juday, wid ows of the men killed by a Lake Shore train at the union crossing in Misha waka, have been compromised, the Lake Shore paying the sum of $5850 to the two plaintiffs. There is a mighty outcry over the dressmakers' proposition that women shall wear suspenders, but as many married ladies are credited with wear ing the garments to which suspenders are commonly attached there does not appear to be anything essentially in congruous in the plan. Got Laporte Fat Woman. The Robinson Carnival Co., before leaving Laporte secured a Laporte woman as one of the attractions for future exhibitions. Lucy Havens, whose married name is Deeter, was engaged to exhibit her abnormal avoirdupois for a weekly salary of $10. The Havens woman was formerly a county charge, an inmate of the asy lum, and she leaped into state fame by marrying an eccentric Individual who calls himself Dr. Deeter. Mrs. Deeter now tips the scales at to about 450 pounds. Horse Sense Got Man Into Trouble. In a Hendricks connty divorce suit it developed that the husband at the time he was doing his sparking had two best girls who held c qual positions in his affections. When goiag calling he would let his horse select the route when be came to the forks in the road and married the girl who lived on the road selected by his horse. This is an instance at least where horse sense got a fellow in trouble. But there are a good many marriages based on about the same sort of reason. Perhaps, if the woman bad used the same sort of sense there would have been no wedding Muncie nerald. Death cf James O. Cleaveiand. James Oliver Cleaveiand, son of Gilson S. and Carrie A. Cleaveiand, died on Thursday, September 18th at Amagansett, L. I., of heart affection. He was born in Plymouth, May 28, 1845, and received his early education here. At sixteen years of age he went to Chicago and entered Into the employ of the dry goods house of J. Y. Far well & Co. From the lowest department of that large wholesale store be advanced until he became their eastern buyer, which he held for twenty-five years. In early manhood he was confirmed in the Episcopal church, and later was made vestryman of Christ church, Chicago. He was always a faithful worker in the church and a generous supporter of it. He was married some twenty-five years ago to Miss Louise M. Bobbins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Robbins, of Brooklyn Heights, Monroe Place, N. Y. She, with his aged father, a sister, Mrs. Louisa Culver, of St. Louis, and numerous other other relatives, are left to lament his death. Results ot Labor Troubles A man who had occasion to buy a large quantity of brick, amounting tc the millions, found that the brickmakers of Elkhart charged him $5.25 a thousand at the kiln and the cost of delivery ' would be $2 a thousand, making the price $7.25 a thousand delivered onf the ground for use. He went to Chicago and contracted for 2,500,000 of brick at $4.60 per thousand delivered on the ground ready for laying. He found that the retail price of brick in Chicago was $6 per thousand if they, could be sold, but that the strikes in the building trade had so reduced the quantity of brick used that there were in the yards over 70 millions of brick unsold, and that by reason of the strikes the demand for this building material had been reduced 40 percent during the present summer. This is a pointed and plain illustration of the far-reaching eyii results of labor troubles, and when they are as useless and sensslec3 as have been those in Chicago, they excite almost contempt for the sbort-stebtcdness of the dlsturbsrs. era.1 Elkhart Review.

Accordirgto the opinion -of W. T. Blytbe, section director of the United States weather bureau, little damage was done by the frost throughout the state. He says that according to the reports that be haa received from the various stations throughout tho. state, the frosts were not heavy enough to cause serious damage. The only station that reports anything worse than a light frost was Lafayette, where a killing frost was reported. The minimum temperature there, however, was reported at 35, and it is thought that the report of a kUling frost might have been a little exaggerated. Warmer Weather I Schedaled. The frost about this city is reported as light and the minimum temperature for the twenty-four hours was 40, willen was registered a short time be fore 7 a. m. The lowest minimum temperature registered in the state was at Colum'bus, where It was S3. At La fayette, Marion and "Washington mini mum temperatures of 33 were report ed. The highest minimum tempera ture reported la the state Was at this city. The area of low pressure is now centered over Cairo, 111., and assurance is given that warmer weather is to come to this city, and It is said that there will be no more danger of frost, at least for several days. - Thluka the Coru Is All Right. B. F. Johnson, chief of the Indiana bureau of . statistics, docs not take a gloomy view of the "outlook for Indi ana's corn crop. To the contrary, he believes that ihe frost has not mate rially Injured the chances for an av erage yield, and unless there should be heavier frosts within the Dezt week or two he believes that the Indiana farmer wiU fare weil. "I am not apprehensdve of any severe damage having been done by last night's frost," said Jchnson, "especially on Uie higher ground or uplands. Con that grows in marshy lands, or where water is close to the surface may have suffered to some extent." . - A Peculiar Fatal Accident Marion, Ind., Sept. 19. With bis neck broken, Fred Fernung, a farmer, near Iligdon, this county, was found lying by the roadside near that place Tuesday night about 10 p. m. by hla two sons, who had gone to search for him. The supposition is that death was caused by a fall from his wagoix Fernung, who was between 40 and 50 years old, was one of the best-known farmers in the neighborhood. He had been losing a great deal of sleep lately, and it Is probable that this Is responsible for his death. He went to Elwood and started home in his wagon late In the afternoorx About 9 p. m. Ms team" came home without him, and his sons, fearing some mis hap had ibefallen their father, found him lying dead along the road, about five miles from their home. Fernung was the father of thirteen children, all of whom are living. Church Women Peeling Tomatoes. Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 19. Attired in old dresses, wearing heavy waterproof shoes, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows and carrying sharpened knives, forty-two prominent women of the missionary society of the Markland Avenue Methodist church went to the two canning factories of Kokomo Joday. They occupy positions at the benches with the girls of the factory, and are peeling tomatoes for $1 a day. The women want to raise $250 for the church. Big Ekmm of Liabilities. LaGrange, Ind., Sept. 19. Am examination of the affairs of the Topeka and LaGrange banks that closed their dcors a few Cays ago shows a more serious condition-than was at first expected. The total assets are estimated, to be $240,893.74, while the liabilities are $313,514.17. Figured in the assets is $85,000 in biUs and notes and $101,500 in stocks and bonds. The value of these stocks is problematical.' l . I2or Hob Law Reform. Nashville, Ind., Sept. 19. The cigar 6tore of Robert Collins, accused of running a "blind tiger," was wrecked by dynamite.

MARRIED Sharpe-Nicolay. Mr. John R. Sharpe, of Lexington, Kentucky, and Mrs. Emma Nicolay of Plymouth, Indiana, were united in matrimony on the evening of the 15th of September, 1903. The ceremony took place at the Ada St. M. E. church, Chicago, Illinois, the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. H. Carwardine, officiated. Many friends and others had gathered to witness the pleasant event, and as the bridal party approached the altar to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, they presented a very pretty effect. The best man was Mr. Fred Kemper and the bridesmaid was Miss Tillie Wellander, both of Chicago. After the ceremony the party repaired to the residence of Mr. F. W. Hiler, for the bridal supper. Mr. Sharpe is a well known resident of Lexington, Ky., and Mrs. Sharpe is from Plymouth, Indiana. Their many friends unite in wishing them great joy. Let Parents Do Their Duty. A studious and thoughtful writer on sociological topics says that as a people we have fallen Into the way of excusing and condoning wrong doing on the score of heredity and environment. Inherited helplessness has taken the place of original sin. "Only lately, "complains the London Spectator, in an elaborate article on this subject, "we heard a scoundrel excused on the ground that be had a bad uncle." ,A mental twist" is another favorite excuse. It is considered to satisfactorily account for anything from a violeut temper, incurable laziness, or inveterate lying, to a mere disregard of ordinary manners, and for the reality of the supposed "twist" a mad cousin or an eccentric grandfather is accepted as ample explanation. There is no question that there Isa good deal in heredity, a good deal in environment, to shape one's course and condition, but in 99 cases in 100there is a good deal more direct force and Influence for good or ill in the child's home. It is easy for parents to put the re sponsibility back a generation or two,or sidetrack it to some collateral' branch, but the larger share of re sponsibility is usually in the child's own home. If there be a good father and a good mother there, the grandfather's faults and shortcomings may lie buried with him. Miss Dora Fogel Chosen Queen. The Carnival Queen Contest closed Friday noon, and a count of votes showed that Miss Dora Fogel had been chosen by a splendid majority. The partisans of Miss Edna nayes, of Culver, and Miss Lottie Harris, however, made a splendid showing.

There are many 'idle who cannot spell or punctuate and who are otherwise careless, but the kind of stenographers business men want are very few. It is surprisingthat more young people do not prepare for this work for the salaries arelarge, hours are short, and rapid pro motion is sure where merit is shown. It is true that thousands of young people learn shorthand and typewriting, but promotions of young men and promotions and marriages of youDg women together with the rapidly increasing demand soon exhaust the supplyThe Huntington Business University at Huntington, Ind., which is regarded by employers of help as the most thorough In iU training and which also fills more positions of this kind than any other business school in the state and has been unable to fill more than half the calls it has for stenographers. .This school enrolls a very intelligent and,industrious class of pupils and employs high grade teachers and tho work done there is superior in every wav. Expenses, however, are very low. Board, room, tuition and books, for a stenography course cost less than t 190. Many students reduce this greatly by working there to earn part of their'expenses.
