The result of two divorce suits in the Wayne circuit court was manifested Monday in the Juvenile court when four, children , were made wards of the board "of children's guardians and sent to White's Institute.- Three children of .William Hoover, John LeRoy, Eleanora and Zola May, and Delbert Yocum, the son. of Aaron : Yocum, were the children disposed of In this manner. . . , .. . (. Hoover up to a few years ago lived with his wife,. Sarah. .Hoover, until they moved to this city and took in boarders, one of whom got the habit of going to the Hoover homestead Intoxicated and when' Hoover "canned" him, his wife left too. . He then secured a divorce . but found the duties of caring f or (hls children, to be. too great as he had to work nearly twelve hours a day. He placed the children in' the Home for .the Friendless, hut as this arrangement, was unsatisfactory he consented to .the , children . becoming wards of .the board of guardians.. The Yocums were divorced several years ago and the mother, Lizzie Yocum,took charge of the child, aged about eight years. - The burden of caring for both herself and the child was too much and at Dayton last summer she committed suicide. The -father, Aaron Yocum, then took the child for a short time but it is alleged deserted it. at 1 least the authorities s have been unable to find him, as he is out of the city-. - FRAUD 1I0OSCEIITED A Municipal Scandal in Philadelphia.

h GEllERAL MIXUP

HAS BEEII CAUSED BY TAFT'S TREATY Canadian Reciprocity Agreement Will Be Fought Out on Sectional and Not Party Lines. BEVERIDGE TO WAR ON ALLY, CUMMINS And Lafollette Will Side with Iowa Senator Other Insurgents Are Supporting Beveridge. (American News Service) Washington, Jan. 30. The Impending battle over the ratification of the reciprocity treaty will be fought out in congress on sectional rather than party lines. This is clearly indicated In the attitude of Senator Beveridge of Indiana, a leader In the insurgent camp, who has "come out strongly in favor of indorsement of the treaty. Senator Beveridge's declaration indicates that party and even factional lines will go' to smash when the treaty comes before congress for rati flcation. Arrayed against Beveridge are the insurgent chieftains Cummins of Iowa and LaFollette of Wisconsin, both of whom object to many of the provi sions of the treaty. And so It goes all along the line. Here Is a Mix-up. Some of the insurgents in the house have flatly repudiated the proposed treaty, while insurgents of other dele gations have indorsed It. Some of the regular Republicans are for the treaty, others against it, and it Is the same with the Demo crats. . ' ; 'Senators like Lodge and Crane of Massachusetts,' stalwart protectionists and Cummins of Iowa, and Nelson and -Clapp of Minnesota, downward revisionists, will.be r found- .fighting Blue uf Blue.'..-- . .-.-.i ..... TV.One thing. is certain, the treaty has small chance of being accepted ' .Warring interests undoubtedly will prevent its acceptance. . . Will Speak Tonight. If President Taft has any intention of calling an extra session to ratify the proposed treaty between the Un ited States and Canada as a final result in case the treaty is jockeyed out of place at the present session, he will probably make it known tonight when he will make an address at the annual dinner of the Ohio society in this city. It is believed that reciprocity will be the subject of President Taft's speech. There has been a great deal of talk of an extra session if the recip rocity legislation fails at the present session and it is known that much of this talk was brought from the White House by men who enjoy confidential relations with the president. The president believes in the treaty. More than that he believes the coun try wants congress to ratify it. BARNARD STANDS PAT. Washington. Jan. 30. Indiana's delegation, with the possible exception of Representative Barnard, will present a solid front for the proposed Canadian reciprocity trade agreement, the indications are today. Democratic members naturally fav or the measure as a step toward the general principle of free trade. "The kind of af tariff bill I would favor," said Korbly, "is one which Shively would draft He would give one with only enough tariff to produce revenue to run the government, cutting out the fallacy of protection and thus reducing the cost of living.

EVENT PROMISES TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONE Tickets Are Selling Well and an Enrollment of Not Less Than 1 ,500 Is Estimate Now-Made. With the Farmers' Short .Course but a week off, and preliminary arrange ments made, all is now expectancy with the committeemen and officials who, having nothing else to worry over, are beginning to cast glances at the almanacs and' weather forecasts to try and fathom out just what brand will be delivered during the week of this' big event. If these forecasts, which are made weeks in advance, happen to be correct In this instance, as they sometimes are, then there should be nothing to injure the success of the affair. Tickets have been selling exceptionally well; exhibits for the corn, show and those to be used in conjunction with the department studying live stock will be large; enthusiasm within and without the city is. great and all other such matters which must be reckoned with in the production of an affair of this nature are reported to be exceptionally gratifying. Indications are the school will be the largest held in the state. , Christie Here 8unday. Prof. G. I.

ed him that they would expect an en rollment of less than fifteen hundred only a fair showing. They are counting on no less than two thousand students in the different departments, including those for the study of corn, animal husbandry, horticulture, domestic science, and the teachers' course In agriculture. Over eleven thousand announcement cards have been mailed out to farmers of Wayne. Randolph, Union, Henry, Preble and Darke counties. There have been a few' tickets sold to farmers residing in Fayette, Rush and Shelby, and other more distant counties. President W. E. . Stone of Purdue University and Representative Clore to the lower house of the Indiana legislature, from Johnson county, who perhaps is better known as being the corn champion of the United States, will be the "headliners" at the evening meetings to be held In conjunction with the short course. These evening meetings are going to be more interesting to the general public than at first anticipated and the committee now sees the wisdom in planning a night program which was considered a little risky when the short course was first proposed.

MINISTER CALHOUN

GREATLY MENACED American Minister, W. J. Calhoun, at Pekin. China, who is threatened by the deadly Asiatic plague that Infests the neighborhood of the consulate. All the legations have taken in a three months' supply of rations and fuel, and most of the Westerners, Including the missionaries, are sending home their scholars. Minister Calhoun has offered the missionaries refuge at the American Legation, but this was declined by both the American and British workers, who did not want their activities limited. Physicians believe- the germ will be exterminated with the approach of warm weather as it is evident that it is of a type that flourishes in cold weather. RECORD JSJABLISHED By Dayton & Western Limited Car. ' Tossed from side . to side and each minute experiencing the feeling that the next , would be their last, passengers on the night Dayton and Western an hour and twenty-five minutes. Power trouble delayed the car at the Glen for , more than an hour. ? Having a clear track, conductor H. B. Stanley and motorman W. A. Robbins held a consultation 'and determined to go after the speed record. The car pulled out of Richmond at 10:55 oclock and at 11:50 the final stop in Dayton had been reached, the exact running time being 55 minutes. The feat has aroused much interest among employes and officials of the company and it is highly probable that as a result of the trip the schedule time will be reduced to more nearly that maintained by the fastest trains of the steam road between these two points.' MIGHTY COLD PLACE . Where This Richmond Family Now Lives. . J. Carey Smith, a former teacher and well known in county, who with -his family school Wayne settled on a Canadian claim, near Rat Portridge, Province of Ontario, several years ago, In a letter to attorney . B. F. Harris of this city, states that he and his family are Jiving in cold storage. The habit of the thermometer, which hangs on the south side of their cabin, is to register forty degrees below zero . each - mora J ng and such a thing as fifty-two degrees below or more is not uncommon. They are enjoying frontier life hugely and declare it is top cold for them to be unhealthy. When the weather permits they engage in agricultural pursuits, such as the raising of potatoes, oats and other quick growing and maturing crops. Game is plentiful and It Is not uncommon to see a moose in their clearing, and wildcats, panthers, bears and other large game are not too timid to fail to pay their respects occasionally.
