It May Ba Hare Within Sixty Days of tht Passags of the Ordinaries

by the City Council.

The new proposed telephone line

from Cambridge City to this city, connecting the larger place with the small

towns as far west as Lewisville, will.

it is believed, be a good thing for this

city. At least it will be a very con

venient arrangement for those who

have occasion frequently to transact business verbally with the smaller towns ana villages, and even with the country districts, armanr farmiT wUi.be attached to the lino. Th towns ,tC LewisviH"

Dublin, Milton. Cambridge City, Germanto'vn, Centerville, Knightstown, Bontonville. aud many other country communications and towns will be attached to the line, and the extension of the system as far as Connersville is not a remote possibilty. The line will run into the court house, where an additional toll station is to be located, and the value of that line to the county oftiiers is expected to be great. The rate for tools will be less than the present rates of the Cental Union, as the members of the company assure the

citizens, and the rates for local use in

case a local exchange should be

established, which is very probable.

will also be lower.

The propects for the establishment of a local exchange, completely eauipped. to act in opposition and in

competition with the Central Union, is

good, and we may have cheaper tele

phones. The company is willing to

agree in the ordinance for franchise.

to have their line running into this

city and their toll stations in operation

within sixtv davs from the time of the

passing of the ordinance. "

S B. Steward's Daath.

The death of Samuel Bell Steward,

of Indianapolis, formerly of this city,

that was mentioned in this paper yes

terday, was announced exclusively in the Palladium, and was sad informa

tion to the many friends of Mr. Stew

ard in this city. He was a man who.

while not widely known, made friends of all who knew him and was of an extremelv cenial and kindly nature. His

daughter, formerly in the recorder's office, is now the wife of A. R. Jones,

who was deputy county auditor under

John M. Lontz.

SOCIAL MATTERS.

The Marriage of Sherman Wig

gins and Miss Swalne at Los

Nietos. Cal.-Other Events.

The Los Angeles Times of May 11th

says: 'The wedding of Miss Catherine Sophia Swaine, only daughter of Colonel

and Mrs. P. T. Swaine, and Sherman Wallace Wiggins, at Los Nietos,

the fine old ranch home of the Swaines, last evening, was a very

charming affair. The ceremony was

performed at 8 o'clock by the Rev. Henderson Jndd. and the wedding

music was tarnished by Arend s or

enestra. me orme, wbo was

given away by her father, wore

trailing gown of rich cream-white

satin. Tne waist was garnitured with

rare point lace and finished with

yoke of shirred chiffon in which was fastened a diamond star. The long

tmle was eaueht with orange blossom

and the bouquet was of long-stemmed bride roses and maidenhair. The

maid of honor. Miss Claire Sanborn

was gowma in wnite organdie over

pale green silk, and carried a larg

cluster of pink rosea and maidenhair

Charles S Swa ne, brother of the

bride, assisted as best man. The rooms were artistically dec. rated with

flowers, vines and flags, and the

arawing-room, where the ceremony

tooK place, was in white and green

lhe large walnut grove about the residence was gajlv illuminated with

strings of Chinese lanterns, and

beneath the trees were arranged sun'

per tables for those who dared to brave

the cool night air. Other tables were

set in tne noose, ana tne supper was

served by Christopher. The gifts which were very numerous ar.d beauti

ful, were not displayed. After a short trip, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins will go to

Arizona for a brief stay. Their plans

for the future are as yet indefinite.The

bride s gomg-away gown was 'a hand

some tailor-made affair of blue and

white mixed cloth of silk and wool, fin

ished with a vest of white Liberty chif

fon. Her hat was of golden brown

straw, finished with leaves and chif fon.

Mr. Wiggins has been a frequent

visitor in this city and 13 a brother of

Mrs. Prof. J. N. Study, now of Ft W ayne.

Miss Julia Taylor celebrated her

eleventh birthday anniversary last

evening bv entertaining the members

of her Sunday school class at her home

on north tenth street. Miss Cunning

were also present. The evening was pleasantly spent playing games, and

light refreshments were served.

And There la Consequently Trouble on Hand The Racera Suspended

for Sixty Days, and the Traok Mar

Be Blackliated-How It Oocurred. The Earlham Athletic association is in trouble with the League of Ameri

can Wheelmen. The rules of tie L." A. W. require that none of its men -bers 'hall ride in any races not sanc

tioned by the league. Application

naa Dt-en made zor tne leaeue s

sanction of the rae 8 to be ran 1

Eatlham on the late field day, and

that application had been acted 'on favorably by the league. The local consul, Howard Dill, had received the

permission of the leagne to conduct the races, and the permission waT'in

nis nanas at tne time tne races were to be held. For some reason not yet

learned, the 'Larlham athktic association oid not take the sanction from Mr. Dill's hands, though

the association had been notified that

the said sanction was on hand, ready

to be delivered A fee 01 $11 was see

essary to be paid in order to lift the permission from the possession of the local counsel. That money was not paid, ar.d the sanction was therefore withheld. The races were held, and the result is that the athletes who

raced in the local field day are sns

pended irom tne league's racing

privileges for the term of

sixty days, during which time

they will not be permitted to ride in

any L, A. W. race. The track at

Earlham has been blacklisted, suoject

to a fane of f 1 j. The matter may yet be adjusted, but at present the above

is a fair statement of the situation

The two high school students who rode at Earlham on that occasion are sus

pended. No Earlham riders took part

in that event.
