TRUANCY LAW WORKINGS
FEWER OFFICERS WILL BE NEEDED
OVER STATE NEXT YEAR.
State Board Now in Standardization
County Has Placed 1866
I'm School.

Messrs. A. w. Butler d. K. Goss and d.
M. Geeting. constituting the State Truancy
Board, have been meeting at the Statehouse
reyiewing~the work of last year and prepar-
ing for the coming year. There are about
235 local truant officers to be appointed in
the State. For these places some three
hundred applications have been made.
Speaking of this matter yesterday, the MEM
bers of the board said that considerably
fewer officers would be necessary to enforce
the truancy law than last year, as there is
less trouble encountered with parents who
wish to evade the provision requiring them
to send their children to school for at least
twelve consecutive weeks. AS the law IS
better understood and people realize that ii
must be obeyed it becomes more auto
matte in its operations. Reports of the tru-
ant officers of the various counties have
been received, but the total number of chill
dren that have been placed in school under
the provisions of the compulsory education
act has not been compiled.
Mark A. Smith, the truant officer for Ma
rion county, shows in his report that 1856
children have been placed in schools, SO in
parocnial schools and 1913 in the public
schools. OF this number 1011 remained the
required twelve weeks. In spite of 80 prose-
cutions, "a of which were successful, there
were Gas who did not remain the requisite
twelve weeks. These, says the report, have
been world of trouble and should be placed
in some institution where they could be
Kept off the streets and away from home in
fuences." The officer made 1852 visits, rem
dering assistance in AS cases, with costs
amounting to 1886. There was an allowance
to the officer of 5sS days pay, amounting TO
81 1876.
The officials have contended that a tru-
ants home should be provided for such
cases as Mr.. Smith refers to, as the law
contemplates. The persistent truants cause
trouble not only in their own cases, but in
the cases of others, who are Influenced by
the bad example they set Last year there
was lack of the necessary money to pro-
vide a truants' home here. 1t is understood
there will be further agitation of this SUBJ
ject.

TYLER is POOR.
Lost His Wife's Affections. and Wants
Damages from M0ther-in-Law.

Marion Tyler began an action in the Cir
and Celia NJ. Wood, to recover damages ior
the loss of his wifes affection and the al
legged breaking up of his home. He charges
that the defendants are responsible for
both. The plaintiff was married in October
1897. in this city, to Laura +. Garrett, the
daughter of the defendant, Julia Terrell.
Plaintiff says that at the time of his mar
riage his wife was possessed of large means,
and is yet wealthy woman. He AYERS that
although he is poor man he has been hon.
est and Industrious ard capable of support
ing his wife He charges that his mother
in-law, with the purpose of injuring him
and destroying his home. sought to rob him

criticised and n.aligned him and reproached
her daughter for having married a man
below her station in life, and urged her to
plaintiffs wife to leave him. 1t is claimed
she was promised large reward of money
end property, and was threatened with dis
inheritance and withdrawal of the conf
dence and affections Of the family If she

gagged the active cooperation of other MEM
hers of the family in her campaign against

STATE FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
The 'BattIe of ManiIa' Picture Is 300
Feet i'm Length.

1ndiana's state fair this year has numer-
Gus features of attractiveness. The attend
ance at county fairs throughout the State,
despite the war times, has been unexcep-
tionally large, and now that peace reigns,
with bright prospects for heavy crops and
general freedom in the money market the
attendance at the state fair is expected to
outrival any in the history of the board
The night entertainment alone-the Bat
tie of Manla'-Pain's spectacle of naval
warfare, will no doubt fill the immense
Enclosure within eyesight of the enormous
picture, which in itself alone is 800 feet in
length. Fifty thousand people will be
enabled to view the spectacle each night.
Ihere IS nothing of the fake order about
the production. The din of the lombard
ment is heard for several miles, shells are
seen to burst and to wreck havoc among the
spanish ships as did the real shells fired by
Admiral Dewey's fleet The entire scene Of
action is covered in a haze of smoke and
the clearing away of this smoke after the
realistic firing shows the Spanish fleet and
the fort of Cavite in state of demolition.
Following the spectacle a brilliant pro
gramme of fireworks will be given. The
entertainment will last two hours.
The programmes during the day at the
fair Will be OF extraordinary interest for
those interested in agricultural and mechan-
ical pursuits. In the live stock department,
from the list of entries already received
one month in advance of the fair, the COM
petition will be of the closest character.
What is termed the battle of the breeds"
is destined to become the most interesting
part of the live stock show. What particu-
lar breeds ard what particular blood lines
will produce the prize sweepstakes herd will
be determined in this contest of all breeds
of beef cattle. The exhibition of horses and
cattle this year will take place on the broad
plaza between the race course and grand
stand, which is to be covered with tanbark.
The judges stand and timers stand have
been removed to the opposite side of the
race course, because of this new arrange
ment for the exhibition of the horses and
cattle. The obstruction of the critical point
of every race-the finish-will in the future
be avoided. The fair will open Sept. IL and
continue until Sept. IL. The opening per-
formances of the Battle of Manila" will be
held Semi Ii Ii and IL
