approved by Gov. Marshall March 4, 1911. It had been approved by joint Democratic caucus and was passed by an almost strict party vote, the Republicans the act as unconstitutional. Gov. Marshall prepared most of the paragraphs making changes in the present constitution, and the new z instrument was said to represent his ideas of political reform. The suit to prevent the proposed constitution going to a vote was brought by John T. Dye, an attorney of Indianapolis, as a tax payer, and was argued this summer by an array of eminent attorneys in Judge Remster’s court. Chief among counsel for the plaintiff were Mr. Dye himself, Addison C. Harris, and Senator Ralph Kane of Noblesville. In defense of the proposed constitution appeared Frank S. Roby, former judge of the Indiana supreme court, Senator E. B. Stotsenburg of New Albany and Daniel W. Simms of Lafayette. Judge Remster is a Deihocrat and

in his decision he says that while he knows bis opinion is not that of -a great number of wise lawyers, he can arrive at no other after a careful study of the constitution, the law and the precedents. The decision grants an injunction restraining the state board of election commissioners and the secretary* of state from taking the necessary steps to submit the proposed constitution to a vote. Attorneys for the defenders at once gave notice of an appeal to the Indiana supreme court and it is expected a decision will be handed down before the next general election'in November, 1912, when it was planned the voters should have an opportunity to approve or reject the new constitution. Judge Remster finds that the General Aesembly does not possess the power to propose a new constitution, that power abides in the people and the w ay to fra.oe and propose a new constitution is through a constitutional convention. ‘ The people can no more divest themselves of this abiding power than a living human being can divest himself of his soul,” Judge Remster said. The proposed constitution regarded as a series of amendments to the present constitution is unconstitutional, Judge Remster holds, for the reason that it was not proposed in the prescribed mode. _____ At the K. of P. Opera House. , The Alan Villair Company which comes to the K. of P. Opera House for two nights in two plays, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 11 and 12, is presenting two high > priced attractions at low prices, and comes well recommended.

Through Freight Via Interurban. At a meeting of the electric railway men at Indianapoljs last week, arrangements were made for through freight service over the Winona and the Chicago, South Bend and Northern Indiana traction lines, between Indianapolis and South Bend. These freight trains will consist of what is known as trailer trains and will cover the lines at night. ? The trains will leave South Bend and Indianapolis every evening at six o’clock. From the expansive hoopskirts of our grandmothers to the skimpy, skinny garments of today, so tight that the shape of the female form divine is revealed with startling clearness and frankness, is surely a long step—longer than can be taken by those who wear the skirt of today, without rending the garment— Ex.

She was lying on her back in about three feet of water and making no effort to help herself, as she was quite heavily bundled up. When asked after being rescued why she had not tried to help herself, she replied: “The shore seemed to be getting further and further away. ’ Don’t forget the show, Oct. 11-12.'

BOY JUST OF AGE WED£WOMAN OF 51 It may have been her cooking in the little galley of the Owego steam barge on the lakes, or it may have been her winsome smile, anyhow when Julius Zack, 21, started in to make love to Mrs. Charlotte L. Shellhouse, 57, although, as she says, the difference in their ages weighed heavily on her heart, she was unable to say him “nay” and yesterday afternoon the youth of 21 and the woman of 57 were united in marriage by Justice Terrell. “I fought him off for many months because of the great difference in our ages,” said Mrs. Zack after the ceremony, “but he was terribly in love with me and I with him and we just could not keep from getting married.” Mrs. Zack is small and spry She has been a stewardess on the lakes seventeen years.

Horse Shied at Train. A Mrs. Stoner of North Webster, had quite an accident at the cement crossing in front of Anderson Strieby’s, Saturday afternoon at about 3:30 o’clock, while on her way home from here.

The cement train was stopped and Wade Zerbe and Wilson Ott picked the woman up. She was for a few minutes, but she soon became all right. Anderson Strieby’s sons fixed up her bugj gy and assisted in getting the horse hitched again and she went on to her home at North Webster.
