Ware the new pastor . of East Main Street Friends' church will conduct meetings for a week or so and will prob "LITTLE GIANTS" LOOK GOOD TO 111 CHAMPIONSHIP PENNANT IN STATE BASKET BALL RACE THIS SEASON. ROSE POLY HAS GOOD CHANCE To Land Prize Earlham Will be Ont of Running Unless She Wins Tonight. The one branch of sport which is gaining much prestige and popularity r.raong the colleges throughout the country, and comes nearer placing all colleges on a level is basket ball. Each year more interest is taken and especially is this true in Indiana, as every school of importance in the Ft ate makes some effort to put a winning team in the field. This' year it looks like Wabash will win in the State basket ball championship race, although Wabash has both Purdue and Rose Polytechnic to reckon with. Purdue has defeated Wabash once this year, but it is generally conceded by the dopsters that the Purdue five will fall before the "Little Giants," when they meet on Wabash's home floor. 1 Rose Poly has not been defeated this year and as she defeated Indinytky -should- not be overlooked in the race, in fact they are strong bidders for the state flag. It is to be regretted that Rose does not play Wabash this year, for should Wabash defeat Purdue in the final game, and Rose win the remainder of its games, it would leave the two on a par.- This occurred last year between Butler and Wabash. It left the state championship hanging in a balance.Earlham, DePauw, Hanover and Butler are out of the running at present but should Earlham win the Wabash game tonight she would still have a chance for state honors while ! if she loses tonight .and wins tomorrow night from Polly she has a good chance for secondary honors. HIGH SCHOOL HEWS Promising Candidates. .;"'"'; Among the pupils who are coming' to high school next Monday, will e several prfomising candidates for the track team.

OFFICIALS ARE WELL SATISFIED ; WITH HEATING PLANT INSTAL LED AT COURT HOUSE LAST SUMMER. ROOMS KEPT COMFORTABLE While Old Trouble of An Obnoxious Smell Has Been Removed. Court Room Heated. The heating plant at the court house is pronounced perfect by the county commissioners. This winter it has saved the county more than $1,000 in fuel bills, and at the same time heated the large building in a most satisfactory manner. The cold mornings of the past few days, when the mercury stood below zero the heating plant had the oflic es in the court house comfortably warm by 7 o'clock and by 9 o'clock the radiators were turned off to keep the building from getting too hot. The heat is thoroughly radiated, and the old bugbear of heating the circuit court room has been almost eliminated. Owing to its distance from the boilers much difficulty in the past has been experienced in keeping the room warm, but itis now very comfortable on the coldest days the thermometer showing an average heat of 68 or 70 degrees. What the county officials and the office attaches regard as one of the new heating plant's greatest blessings is the fact that it does not smell. The ola" system of heating was by oil and the fumes penetrated every nook and corner of the big building, something being so offensive as to be almost unbearable. EIGHT HAVE COMPLETED COURSE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. Will Remain Till June To Graduate School To Be Crowded. . About thirty-eight : pupils will graduate next .Tune from the High School and eight of these have already completed the work necessary to graduation . These will probably continue their work and graduate with -.extra 'honors next June. On account of the fact that no seniors will leave the school at the end of the first term, on Friday, the school will be exceptionally crowded as over fifty tudents are expected to enter from Garfield. There will be ; about 350 pupils, divided in classes as follows: Seniors, 40; Juniors, 60; Sophomores, 115; and freshmen, 135. CREAM TO WHIP Extra Heavy. Fresh Milk Phone 292. HADLEY BROS.

The Board of Trustees of Wayne County met yesterday afternoon at the court house and announced that arrangements had been completed for the second annual exhibit of agricultural products by the school children of this county.

All of the exhibits must have been produced during the summer of 1906 by the child making the entry for the same.

The trustees are of the opinion that a youth should be trained on the farm as he is trained for any other occupation.

WEDS MOTHER OF 10 TO HAVE HEIRS AUGUST ROEDIGER, AN AGED SOLDIER, TAKES HIS THIRD WIFE. WAS NURSE FOR HIS SECOND He Must Return to Soldiers' Home for Discharge Veteran's Remarkable Story. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 8. August Roediger, 86 years old, civil war veteran, who married ' Mrs. Rosa Schmidt, 46 years old, mother of ten children, seven of whom live with her, said Saturday, that his only purpose in marrying this, his third time, was to have some one to whom he might leave his money when he died. Mrs. Roediger also said that the marriage was purely a business affair. Mr. Roediger, she said, has neither children nor an heir, but has a small fortune, while she has many heirs but no fortune. By the union Roediger, she said, has found the heirs he wanted, and she has found the money she needs. Mrs. Roediger was busy Saturday morning cleaning up Evangelical church, of which she is janitress. 'I could find no better way to spend my honeymoon than by doine my work," said Mrs. Roediger, whose i . i ' i . , . ... nusDana was not mere to assist her. While she was making the dust flv. 3' c was. beinop. shaved at a nearby barersh'op, wluch he did not have an tipportuni'ty" to visit Thursday, the day oi the wedding. ., The costumes wom y the COunle at the" ceremony ; wera as unconventional as "the rest of the arrangements. Roediger has been an inmate of the Soldiers' home at Danville, 111., for. the past vear and a half. Last Wednesday he asked for and obtained a leave of absence for nine days. Thursday he arrived in St. Louis. wearing the regulation blue soldiers' uniform, with campaigm hat to match. He did not change his suit when he was wedded. Mrs. Roedierer was gowned in her Sunday black ; tlress, with nothing added to indicate that there was anything unusual about to happen. At l.':30 p. m., Thursdav. the cou ple left Mrs. Schmidt's residence, where Roediger had cone immediate ly upon reaching St. Louis, and went to city hall to procure the marriage license. Then they went to the resi- j tor of the church of which Mrs. ! Schmidt was janitress. and were made man and wife Returning to Mrs. Roediger 's residence, they celebrated the event by opening several bottles of beer. Miss Hannah Schmidt, 21 years

old, daughter of the bride, said Sat urday, that she was the only one of the seven children who knew the wed- . ding would take place. She said it was a good joke. Louis Schmidt, her brother, employed at the Southern hotel, has not heard of the event, she says. The other children, Edward, Emil, Rosa, Benjamin aud William, were all at home when the couple returned from the minister's residence and announced that they had been married. - According to Roedigen, his courtship of his wife extended over a period of several months. He was a

friend of Mrs. Schmidt 's husband, and when Roediger 's second wife, Hannah, was taken ill a year and a half ago, she was nursed by the Schmidts. Roediger also moved-., there and the tw families were not separated until the death of Mrs. Hannah Roediger, May 1, 1904. Roediger went to Leavenworth and entered the Soldiers' Home there, but became dissatisfied and returned to attend Schmidt's funeral. Schmidt who was one of the .pallbearers at Mrs. Roediger 's funeral, was taken ill immediately after, returning from the cemetery and never left the house afterwards. : ; Mrs. Schmidt secured the position as janitress at the . neighboring church and Roediger went to Danville, 111., and became an inmate of the home there. He liked it so well that he did not leave except when he came to visit Mrs. Schmidt. On a visit last summer, Roediger says he proposed to Mrs. Schmidt, but she refused him. He returned to Danville, but resumed negotiations by mail. She finally consented to marry him and move to Danville. In order to receive her, properly Roedi- ' ger purchased a home and made arrangements to Jea"1he institution. Mrs. Schmidt changed her mind and wrote hi mto come to St. Louis and she would marry him and settle down here. Roediger accordingly, sold the residence he had purchased
