Jim Turpie’s case against the Monticello Herald for slander; in the Mrs. Horton and “Boy Preacher” matter came up before the circuit court at Monticello Tuesday. Turpie'stands a much better show of having his case thrown but of court a¥fd having criminal proceedings instituted against himself than lie does of getting a verdict against the Herald. Turpie has evidently bitten off a good deal more than he can chew, and adultery and pferjury are both criminal offenses. Tiro Grand Encampment of the Independent Order of Odd-Fel-lows of Indiana on Tuesday did a good thing, one that may profitably be imitated by orders addicted to chronic ornate adjectiveism. The Encampment has amended its constitution and by-laws so that 1 hereafter the titles “worthy”, |“ißC*t worthy,” “most excellent” i and “right worthy ” will no more Ibe tolerated or used. This is the beginning of the end. The day may not be far distant when the most worthy illustrious nold£ grand sublime and supreme exterior warden will be plain outside doorkeeper, and in compensation for loss of title will be permitted to wear two highly inflamed aprons, one before and one behind. —find.
