A farewell reception was given in the parlors of the First Christian Church Thursday evening for Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Rudy, who will leave soon for Greencastle , Ind., where Rev. Rudy has accepted a pastorate. The reception was planned by members of the First Christian church, but Rev. Rudy’s friends of all denominations were invited to attend and there were more than 500 guests present. The guests had planiu^ a surprise for Rev. Rudy and during the evening Rev. Parsons, on behalf of those present, presented Mr. Rudy with a purse containing something more

The funeral and burial will be at Liberty Sunday afternoon. Dr. Sims was well known In this city, where he was pastor of the Meridian Street Methodist Church some yesrs ago. He also served as field secretary for the Methodist Hospital until a little
njore than a year ago.
Charles N. Sims was born in Union county, Indiana, May IS, 1855. His father and mother were of the Methodist Episcopal faith. They were simple farming people, of the sturdiness and strength of character that fitted them for pioneer life in making a home in the new country. From his earliest days Charles X. Sims was accustomed to toil, and it was in the harvest field and in work-

Witnesses were subpenaed from Owen, Morgan and Marion counties, and altogether thirty-five testified. It is expiated that there will be a hundred or more witnesses when the case is tried, which in all likelihood will not be till the June term of court. At the time of the tragedy Cassel drove back to Quincy, pretending to be seriously wounded, with the dead body of Mills still in its seat, and he claimed that as they were passing a dense woods a revolver fired from the rear by an unknown man, was responsible for the tragedy. ,His story was not accepted, and he was removed to the Marlon county jail for safe-keeping, as the friends

During his boyhood his home was the stopping place for all the itinerant Methodist preachers who pass-
that section, showed much feeling against him. Cassel remained at Indianapolis till the sitting of the grand jury; when he was brought here and committed to jail.

special notice of young Sims and encouraged him in his aspirations to J become a minister. Y T oung Sims * was a studious and thoughtful boy, | and required no spur to his ambi-1
tion.
When seventeen years old he began to teach school, giving his nights and leisure time to study to prepare himself to enter Indiana As- j bury University (now DePauw),i from which he was graduated In I 1859. Two years previously, as a student, he had entered the Metho- j dist ministry as a probationer in the North Indiana Conference. He was preaching at Brooklyn when he went to Syracuse, N'ovember 17, 1850, the board 'if trustees of Syracuse University having unanimously elected him successor to Chancellor E. O. Haven, who had resigned to become bishop. In 1859 Ohio Wesleyan conferred upon him the degree of A. M., and DePauw made him a D. D. in 1870, and an LL. D. in 1882. Though the greater part nf his time was spent in travel in the interest of his college, he also held the chair of English literature. He had retired from Syracuse University and was living on his farm at Liberty,'this state, when the management of the Methodist Hospital tendered him the position of field secretary. He succeeded the Rev. Dr. William R. Halstead and retired on account of the weight of years and failing health, much to the regret of the trustees of that institution, a year and a half ago.

Tenehers and lliglt School Students Apitonr Before Superintendent Thomas to Struggle With the Questions Sent Out by the State
Board.
About SO Putnam teachers appeared before the County Superintendent Sat. to take examinations. Some were trying for license under the new law. Others were trying for a high school diploma. Under the ne.w law a new teacher must be a graduate of a high school of good standing. A number of persons have finished high school but have no diploma. To meet this the state office has ruled that anyone who has finished the high school course, no matter when, having no diploma, may now take an examination, and secure one. This diploma will entitle the holder to teach under the new law. The papers are sent to the state office for grading. \ MRS. LELA PERSON
