To Amend Divorce Laws.

Kokomo. Ind.-There will be a de-
termined effort at the next session of
the general assembly to amend the
divorce laws of the state. The move
ment will be pushed by the churches
of the state. which regard the growing
number of divorces as a public evil
which must be cured by legislation.
The movement originated at the West
ern Yearly Meeting of the Friends, re-
Gently held at Plainfield, when unan-
lmous expression was given in favor
OF some effort being made to stop the
prOmiScuOus granting of divorces. \
committee of five persons was appoint
ed 70 have the subject in charge, and
solicit the cooperation Of other re-
ligious bodies in the state. The COM
mittee is composed of S. Z. Nicholson,
of this city; Eliza c. Armstrong, edi
tor Friends Missionary Advocate; DR..
Robert f. PretlOw. of ThOrntOwn; Mil
ton Hanson, of Hamilton county, eX
member of the legislature, and the
Rev. Nathan II. Clark, of Westtield.
send the chairman to ask the cooper
alton of the Indiana Yearly Meeting
OF Friends, which convened at Rich
mond last week. This meeting agreed
10 cooperate in the movement by APP
pointing a committee. The committee
expects to carry on much of its work
by correspondence, and within
month will probably have the COOP
GRAFTON of most of the leading relig-
ious denominations in Indiana. 1t is
understood that no plan has yet been
devised but the joint committees will
likely designate that work to a sub
committee. When a basis for the
amendment of the laws is agreed on,
some one will be sought to introduce
bill into the legislature, and the
combined committees will try to in
sure its passage. 1t is said that the
tion to the marriages consummated is
surprisingly large the number of cases
in the different counties in the state
varying from ten to forty at each
term of court. Those who have given
attention to the subject say that the
increasing number of applications for
divorce arises from a number of
causes, chief of which are a growing
disrespect on the part of many for
the marriage relation. a lack of proper
consideration of the importance and
sacredness of marriage prior to its
cOnSummatiOn, and the tendency to
evil deeds consequent on the liberation
of other public evils in society and the
state There are many who believe
that no divorce should be granted ex
cept on scriptural grounds. but it is
not likely that this extreme legislation
Will be attempted at this time. South
Carolina is said to be the only state
that has such a law. Others believe
that the cause for a second or any
subsequent divorce should be confined
to the one Scriptural basis. Still 9TH
ers that person divorced should not
marry again, while still others that
such action should be taken only after
a second legal separation. OF course,
there are many who hold to the oppo-
site view of making it easy to obtain
divorce, claiming that when a mis-
take is made persons should be freed
at once.

A Peculiar Cherry Tree.

Charlottesville, Ind.-A peculiar bo-
tanlcal phenomenon is reported from
Linden. In the yard of the Rev. ].
w. Dudley stands large cherry tree,
which several days ago bloomed for
second time this season. This fact in
itself was not so remarkable as that
ever since the tree has been in bloom
1t has been giving off continual mist
"a mist of sufficient quantity to keep
the ground under the tree soaking wet.
The bOughs and leaves of the tree drip
with moisture and everything adjacent
to it is saturated. A person may stand
beneath the limbs and almost at once
viii become conscious of the fine mist,
which is constantly given off Should
person stand under the tree for fiji
teen minutes his clothes would be fair
ly soaked. Several small limbs have
beeen cut off in the effort to solve the
mystery attaching to the tree, but
their structure and condition present
no unusual appearance. The mist at
times is most apparent on dry days.
The tree this year bore a large crop
of cherries and seems to be a remark
ably healthy and vigorous plant.
Important Trade Secret.
The destruction of the Corona mills
at GreentOwn, Ind, last week by fire
revealed a secret that had been main
tanned for eight years. From the time
the mills w re erected the nature of
the product manufactured has been a
trade secret, known only to the manu-
facturers and the cOnsfgnee. The raw
material used in making the goods
was corn cObS. The pith of the cObS
was bored out and used for one pur-
pose and the remainder of the corn
ground up and used for another pur-
pose. The latter was sold for stock
feed and the pith went to the brewer
les to be used in the manufacture of
beer. There is said TO be growing
demand for the Corona and the
burned mills will be rebuilt.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,
Pleasant Simple. But Safe Effectual Cur
for 1t

- AcdsanI but Sa1e EneCtual Cure
| for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
Deen considered the next thing to in
durable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
Dloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
| rlslngs, formation of gases. causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
dl1hcult breathing; headache tickle ap-
petlte, nervousness and general play
ed out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror OF the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, infamed condi-
ton
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach
TO secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing
TO do, and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is the use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Dlastase, Aseptite Pepsin, little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
being patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges
ton will follow their regular use after
meals
MIR. N. j. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
St, Chicago H., writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane Of the nose becomes
lnf1amed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing backward into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but to-day l am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. ! cannot find
appropriate words to express my goSd
feeling.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion, catarrh of

heartburn and bloating after meals.

The enterprising burglar is surely
having his innings in Wheeling just
at the present time.
Early last evening another robbery
OF unusual proportions was reported,
and from all the information obtaina-
bic last night, more than four hundred
dollars worth of booty was secured.
And the worst thing about it is that
the thief got away, as in the Dillon,
Wheat & Hancher robbery, without
leaving a tangible clue or trace behind
him
Tonight the childrens masquerade
is to be given at Arion Hall, and Mr.
Schmidt and his wife went over last
evening. al an early hour, to look af
ter some of the preliminaries. Mr..
Schmidt's daughter also left home and
no one was left about the house except
a domestic, who went to her room at
the top of the house at an early hour.
Shortly after eight o'clock the door
bell was rang two or three times, and
the domestic came down stairs to an
swer it. She was somewhat surprised
to find that the lights in the lower por-
ton of the house were all out, whereas
they had been burning when she went
upstairs. The woman made an inves-
tigation and found that the rear door
of the house was open. This was still
more remarkable. and going upstairs
to the second floor to make a further
investigation. she saw that the bureau
house had evidently been ransacked
by thieves. She informed B. Gartner
Of the fact that thieves had been in the
residence, and he informed the police,
and Lieut.. Supler and Officer McGuig
gan went out, while Mr.. Schmidt and
his wife were summoned home. A very
short search showed that pair of val
liable diamond earrings and a diamond
and pearl brooch, belonging to Mrs.
Schmidt, were missing, and with them
two pocketbooks, one containing two
twenty dollar bills and the other five
or six dollars in silver. These articles
were locked in bureau drawer the
key of which was in small box in the
bureau, from witch it was taken by the
thief From the room Of Mr.. Schmidts
son a gold watch and two dollars in
money were also taken, while several
other articles of jewelry were missing.
including a ladies chain. A number of
valuables were overlooked by the thief.
however, among other things a number
of gold coins.
The thief evidently entered the prem
Uses from the alley in the rear, and
went directly into the house by the
back door. ascending to the second
story without being seen or heard by
the only occupant of the building, who
was in her room The thief must have
had a very accurate knowledge of the
situation and been Informed of the fact
that the family was away from home.
He must also have had at least a gen.
eral knowledge Of the location Of tho
valuables. for he could only have been
in the house a very short time, as Il
was half past seven when Mr.. and Mrs.
Schmidt left and the robbery had been
accomplished before eight.
Last night the police were at work
on the case, but there is really very
little in the way of data to work with.
as so far as is known no one saw any
suspicious person in the neighborhood
last evening.
