DAY OF PRAYER FOR IM Itl.lC SCHOOLS.

The National Reform Association, headquarters at. Pittsburgh, has sent out a request to thousands of pastors asking them to co-operate in a world movement to have the second Lord's Day of September observed as n Day of Prayer for Schools. Pastors are asked to use their pulpits on next Sabbath. September 8th, to inculcate vital Christian truth concerning the whole work of education. How much has Christianity to do with our public and private schools. below the college grade especially? Should not the Bible be read in the public schools? The relation of Christianity and the bibL to the public schools will be one of the great subjects to be discussed at the World's Citizenship Conference at Portland Oregon, July, 191?. Thousands of ministers will remember this day in their pulpits next Sunday. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes has recently been appointed one of the vice-presidents of the National Reform Association and has accepted. This great organization is doing much «o promote the cause of Christian citizenship. G. H. L. Beeman, Local Sec.

( Ol'NTY POOH ASYI.I M l\ EXCELLENT CONDITION

The following is the report of the state board of charities on the Putnam Poor Asylum, and shows the excellent condition in which the institution now is: “Poor Asylum, Greencastle—Visited May 21, 1912. We were most agreeably surprised to find thd improvements that had been made by Mrs. Terry since our last visit, and at the small amount of expense which the county had been called upon to pay. Paint, whitewash, paper, shades and plaster, administered by themselves and members of the family and some of the inmates, had worked wonders. The floors had been oiled, a pleasant breeze swept through the lower floor and there was an entire absence of the unpleasant odor which Is usually found in an institution. Two rooms had been fitted up as hospitals one for men and one ror wmen, but they were not occupied, as all of the inmates with the exception of two, who have been confined to their beds for years in their rooms, seemed comparatively well. The dining-room had been attractively papered and looked inviting. The kitchen was clean and in order. The cooking Is in the hands of Mr. Terry's son and daughter-in-law. A good garden is coming on. There are 92 pigs. 100 little chickens and 19 turkeys on the farm- The hoard was delighted with the change wrought by Mr and Mrs. Terry an ! feel that the county commissioners should reward their efforts by appropriating sufficient money for the purpose of screening e the enth' building, and not giving the flies a chance to ruin the nice, clean walls this summer. P feels also that for the few who are able to make use of such conveniences, shelves should be placed in their rooms where thev 'can stow their happiness hrdlou that they should he furnish»'d with basins and ewers and towels. Thev would thus be enabled to take care of their persons, to which ever' 1 normal person is entitled, In the privacy of their own rooms. These few conveniences would answer the purpose of their own rooms. These few conveniences would answer the purpose until the commissioners see their way to removing the obnoxious closets in the rear of the house and putting in a driven well and a couple of both-rooms with toilets. There are at present "4 inmates, 22 men and 11 women.” The county jail was also visited by the hoard. At the time of th° visit there were no prisoners in the building and it was the third time since the saloons were voted out that the board has failed to find a prisoner In the lockup.

Chadwick-Envin Weddlug. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. \V. Erwin of this city on September first at seven o'clock, occurred the marriage of their daughter. Miss Edith to Mr. Otho Chadwick. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Michael Miller of Knightsville, in the presence of a few relatives. The housewas decorated with flowers an 1 ferns. The bride was attired in blu< t'ilk and carried a bouquet'of white dahlias. They received many presents with the hearty congratulations of those present. The groom is a prominent farmer of near Reelsville. While the bride is a well-known music teacher of this city. They will he at home to their friends after October first, three miles north of Reelsville on a farm recently purchased by the groom.

Frank E. Peck filed a petition with the county commissioners some time ago asking that the road bo straightened out and the grade reduced. To do so the road will have to he run through some land owned

by Mr. Hazelett.

The commissioners granted the petition and ordered viewers to assess benefits and damages. The viewers reported that Mr. Hadelett would be damaged $150. Mr. Hazelett filed an appeal from this decision and new viewers were appointed. The new viewers fixed the amount < f damages to Mr. Hazelett at $40. Now Mr. Hazelett has filed an appeal from the findings and the ca?' probably will go to Circuit court.

ADMITS GUILT TD JUDGE

Joseph Hires an eighteen-year-old lad, who has been employed at the Bennett dairy for the past two weeks, was arrested at Mt Meridian Wednesday night after attempting to sell a horse, saddle and bridle which he had stolen from Mr. Bennett Wednesday morning. He was arraigned before Judge Hughes Thursday morning on the charge of horse stealing. Judge Hughes did not render his verdict, however, and' will not do so until he hears from the boy's guardian. Oliver N. Trueblood. The lad came here about three weeks ago to visit a boy friend, who had been in his companion in the Orphans’ Home at Knightsville for about ten years. He went to work for Mr. Bennett about two ydeeks ago. Wednesday morning i> desire to go to Indianapolis struck him, and, having no money, and not caring to wait until Saturday for his pay, he took the horse. He rode the animal to Mt. Merilian and there attempted to sell it in Herbert Simmons, for the sum of fifteen dollars. Simmons became suspicious and refused to purchase the animal until he came to this city to see if it had been stolen. Simmons harnessed the horse to a buggy and drove here, where he learned the animal had been taken from Mr Bennett's barn. He notified Deputy Sheriff Kelley and they went to Mt. Meridian. In the meantime Hires attempte to leave Mt. Meridian hut was de tainedWhen the officer arrested bin Hires denied stewing the horse, sn' - ing it belonged to his brother i i Terre Haute. After he was lodged in jail, though, he told of taking the animal. When before Judge Hugh' ^ he admitted taking the horse and admitted that he knew he would b< punished if caught. He said that he had been an orphan for twelve years, and ten qf these were spent in the Orphan home at Knightsville. He said he had relatives in Frankfort, his former home and that his guardian lived in Noblesville. He also said his guardian had several hundred dollars belonging to him. .Tud r Hughes will communicate with the guardian and the boy’s relatives b J fore disposing of the case.
