1t Was Alcoholism.

An affidavit has been filed By DR.. White,
County Physician, with Coroner Clark to
the effect that when he made the autor sy
on the body of the late R. D. Cooper he
was aware of the fact that deceased had
been engaged in a fight on the day preced-
ing his death, but that the body bore no
evidences of its effects to warrant the as
sumption that death resulted therefrom.
On the contrary, the doctor reasserts that
his examination showed that the cause of
death was alcoholism.

The verdict of the jury was that death re-
suited from natural causes.

An examination of the Wright di-

facts. 1t will hardly surprise any
body to learn that Illinois leads all the
states in the total of divorces for
twenty years, the number being &c.
072. 1t is surprising, however, to find
the staid old state of Ohio coming
next with total of 26, 367, which is
1920 more than Indiana has to show.
Michigan, we are sorry TO say, comes
next to Indiana, with total of 49,
433. The modest state OF Iowa com es
after Michigan, with ,564, while the
wicked Empire state has only 1884.
Massachusetts, to which Michigan has

the lowest in the list, with total for
