LOCAL MINISTERS SAY PROPOSITION IS iOGICAL ONE " fThelr Plan to Improve State Divorce Laws Not Radical Move as . Indianapolis Divines Believe.

fTHEIR REMEDY ONLY A VERY SIMPLE ONE Would Compel Person Saying He or She Was Free of Disease, as Now Required, to Prove the Fact. , Great wprl;js was exhibited among local clergymen today after leiirnlns of the action of the United Conference of LiU'Jcran ministers, at lndiunaiolis, denouncing the Ug:e:l action of the r.'o'.nicnl , Ministerial association, v. hfch It was claimed, uaked tho-(Jov crr...cnt to rerurr.mend the require M.r. cf physician;' certificates In obtaining mnrriago licenses. No action whatever to thin effect was taken by the Rlchmoud assot4a,:l lion. The divorce laws of the stato vcrc, Instead, criticized and a letter s?nt to the Governor by a special committee requestloic that he recommend that the Slate legislature make the divorco statutes more utriugent. Nicholson's 3u73Cstlon. Tho r.iga8tloii of iv medical certificate, statin: that the applicant for luanlnfTo was not iiffHeted with any tubercullne or venereal disease, was made by Timothy Nicholson, at tho Monday's meeting of the Ministerial association. While local ministers approve this no action was taken. "In stating that this is a proposal is 'foolish and wrong,' the Indianapolis ministers showed that they were mis Informed,' said a local minister today. "One of the questions now In the marriage application is, 'Are you afflicted with any tuberculin or venerea! dlseaser Now, Mr. Nicholson's suggestion that this provision be enforced. Of course) every one applying for a license on bearing this question would answer, ,-Yes. " No suggestions were given the Governor a to the methods for Improving the divorce law, but this will probably be done soon. One important provision should be, according to the Jlev. T. J. Graham, that following a divorce It would be unlawful to marry, for a period of two years. Then there should be a considerable space rf time between the filing of divorce applications and the bearings in circuit courts. Tho Rev. Arthur Cates condemned tho marriage law this morning and tatod that several arguments advanced by tho Indianapolis Lutheran minister against the use of the medical certificate wore absolutely false. Ao to Local Pastor. "Why, of .course we frequently turn down persons who ask to be married," aid tho Rev. Mr, Cates. "I notice the Indianapolis men asked, 'whether they Oh Richmond ministers) refuse to officiate at all weddings which In their opinion should have been licensed.' Well, I certainly refuse and I don't believe there Is a minister In town that doesn't. Then they say, 'Do all ministers satisfy themselves as far as possible that the parties bringing marriage license are really entitled to enter matrimony under the Biblical rales by which Christian .pastors are supposed to be guided V I know of none la the city who does not," said the Rot. Cates. "I dont believe In making the law so stringent that some worthy people would be excluded," stated the pastor, "but each of the contracting par ties should. In plain words, know what they are getting. I would place moral as well as physical obstacles in the way of obtaining a license. If the persons receiving marriage licenses are satisfied, however. It Is my opinion the tew should be." 1AD0R ARBITRATOR DIES AT CLEVELAND CAmerlran Now Service) Cleveland. O.. Nov. SC. -Judge Rob ert W.

Dr. Vecchlnl. the famous lawyer who conducted her defense, says her marvelous courage and self-control have now forsaken her, and it is doubtful if she will survive the rigours of solitary ' confinement. Hitherto the Countess Juu been HvinK in the best chamber of theltfudec Prison "oWIM Venetion lagoons, paying a Tixed rentsi, ordering al! her meals at pleasure from a city restaurant, receiving friends, and indulging freely In Russian clgarets whereof she is so fond.

time past she lived in continual dread of a disastrous earthquake .during the night, and bo begged the company of one of the sisters of the prison staff who now always sleeps with her. Apart from the terrible nervous crises which keep her frequently for hours together In a cold, rigid, quasi hypnotic state, Tarnovska is sweet tempered and submissive to rule. The countess, says Dr. Vecchini, dresses neatly, but with the utmost simplicity, does not spend a cent in perfumes, nor kill time by reading foreign journals and trashy novels. As a matter of fact, she passes most her leisure time praying In the convent chapel or reading spiritual books. Eighteen months a walk in the garden, or interested herself in flowers. . ' . Tarnovska's appetite for food has deserted her. She is a martyr to headache, and never sleeps more than one hour in night time. She is often overcome by fainting fits. It is reported that when they met and conversed immediately after the great trial Dr. Naumoff 'and the Countess Tarnovska not only forgave each, other, but mutually ' vowed to marry as soon as the countess's convict days are over. shotgun he opened a bombardment and the eagle fell to the ground, killed by a shot through the head. The eagle weighed twenty pounds and measured six feet, eight inches from wing tip to wing tip. ; Recently an Iguana, four and a half feet long with an armoured hide, was killed at the Chautauqua grounds. In Glen Miller park. The iguana is of a lizard family and a native of the West India -Islands. It Is a' most vicious looking animal "but its meat is said to be a most popular delicacy with the West Indian natives. TOO FOND OF BOOZE Was Her Hubby and She Divorces Him. "if William M. Donohue was consistent in any one thing it was in his cups according to testimony offered by Malinda A. Donahue and his stepdaughter, Miss Moon, in the -circuit court on Saturday morning.. He! too, was not very fond of his wife's company and was not at all alarmed or discomfited when she told him a year ago on Thanksgiving that unless he would promise to do better she would leave him. At any rate he never promised and went to Hamilton, from where he went to Oxford, at which place he was served with a notice of the pendency of his wife's 'divorce suit. He Sid not appear in court and allowed

his defense to go by default. The court granted the divorce, being satisfied that when the complainant had to take in washing and keep house for her own and children's support she was not exaggerating her allegation of failure to provide. Donahue was a jolly, good fellow and held a menial position with the Pennsylvania railroad company. Once, regularly, sometimes twice, and at other times as often as three times a" week he would come home drunk, he being unable to resist temptation .when with his companions. He is about sixty years old. while Mrs. Donahue is in her fiftyfiltb year. t r.

Total 2,000 Some of the Features: Perhaps the most significant feature connected with the Farmers" Short Course to be given here from February 0 to 11, under the auspices of Purdue univerEitywill be the corn show, similar in character as the national corn, show to be held at Omaha, although not nearly so general in its ecoje. The plar.3 arc to secure samples cf the beet torn exhibited at the national show and to use this for both instructive and exhibition purposes. ' It is not yet certain that this can be done. However, those in charge will make every effort. If successful in securing a good exhibit, it will be of great importance to the city and the corn school, as farmers from all over Eastern Indiana, who are interested in improving their corn, undoubtedly would not spare the expense in paying the exhibition a visit..

Fu'ghum, treasurer. The chairmen of the sub-committees Include Joseph Helms, program committee; C. O.

In addition to the department on corn production, there will be instructors from the university who will lec ture on horticulture, animal husband ry, domestic science and the like.

REBEL CHIEFTAIN IS HARD PRESSED 1 , ' " ' '' ' " " ' Mexican Rurales and Texas Rangers Search Border for Madero. (American News Service) . '. Mexico City, .Nov. . 26.---General Francisco Madero, the rebel leader, Mexican rurales ' and Texas rangers are playing a game of hide and seek somewhere along the Rio Grande today. ' Somewhere in the chapparaj country of the Texas frontier, among the northern foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains or along the banks of the sluggish Rio Grande this three-cornered contest is in full swing with a man's life, or at least a long term of imprisonment as the price. The hardy range bred rurales who know every mile of the territory in Chihuahua and Coahuila and the sturdy Texas rangers on the other are pitted against Madero, who is supposed to be badly wounded and accompanied by a mere handful of faithful supporters. But Madero is believed to be a desperate man and if backed into a corner will fight to the death. On the other band, realizing the absurdity of further action against the Diaz regime, his only thought may be of safety. - Quiet Is Restored. According to government officials, the" only action today in the ill-starred revolution was the chase of Madero. Quiet reigns everywhere. A man who was captured yesterday forty miles from Vieterio, in the state of Tamaulipas and brought here under a heavy guard is said to be the private secretary of Madero and his, confidential aid in the uprising. He was subjected to a rigid examination by police and , government , agents who hoped to learn the whereabouts of tbe rebel leaders.. , ; , , . Although the authorities refused to give out any information it was reported that the man refused to divulge anything. The police declined to disclose his name. According, to employes on the train .which brought the unknown to this city, be confessed being closely; identified with Madero in the uprising. PARTY GIVEN BY 4 TWINS AGED 87 Boston, Nov. 26.

Among the alarming rumors circulated was : one that- some, of. tbe mu tineers bad become . dissatisfied and that the s'jips had been siezed by them and Jean Candide deposed as commanding officer.
