Decision for the RepubIican.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FRANKLIN, Ind, June 17.-At Columbus
this morning Judge Hord announced his
finding in the celebrated county superin-
tendency case which was venued from here
His decision was in favor of John Termen
the Republican claimant. The case has
been watched with interest throughout the
State, as important points were involved. In
June, 1897, the time fixed by law for the cleo
ton of superintendent the trustees, on ac-
count of the absence of the trustee from
Blue River township, failed to agree and as
a consequence E. l.. Hendricks, Democrat,
held over. A Supreme Court decision in the
Hartford City case seemed to indicate that
1t was not too late to elect a superintendent
and the trustees were therefore summoned
to meet. The Democrats refused to appear
at the election. but with the aid of an inde-
pendent the Republicans elected Terman.
The case went to the courts and Terman
and Hendricks have both been conducting
county superintendent offices pending a de-
cision. Terman was recognized by the state
superintendent. Hendricks will now take
the case to the Supreme Court.

GREENSBURG, Ind, June 17-James F.
Blackmore, a well-known resident of Nc
Coy, four miles east of here, failed to show
up at his wedding at the residence Of Miss
Bertha Doles last night, the preacher and
wedding gifts all waiting until 10 clock be-
fore they would admit that Mr. Blackmore
would disappoint them. Mr. Blackmore's S
mother sent her younger sons to search for
the bridegroom, and at home they found he
had dressed for the wedding and left at 5
O'Clock for his brides home. That was the
last trace of Mr.. Blackmore until to-day
when it was learned that after coming to
Greensburg and securing the license in the
afternoon he went to the minister, then
home to don his wedding clothes The rail-
road man at McCoy's Station reports that
he hagged the Big Four train at o'clock
Tor Mr.. Blackmore, who left for the north
without any explanation. To-day news was
received from him in Indianapolis, but no
apology has been sent back so far as
known.
Mr., Blackmore is a bachelor, about thir-
ty-f1ve years old. and his handsome brick
house and quarter section of land near Nc
Coy has been regarded with envious eyes by
Decatur county girls for ten years. He is
prominent among the younger element in
the Republican party, and some of his
friends admit that he lacked courage when
ever it came to the question of girls Miss
Bertha 70. Doles, the disappointed bride, is
one OF the most estimable and best known
young women in the county. She is prom
inent in church and society work and influ-
entail in the w. G. T. U. organization She
represented that body as a state delegate to
the international convention at London a
few years ago. For two years the wedding
which did not take place last night was un-
dTstood to be a foregone conclusion.

THE FIRST LADIES' NIGHT.
L. A. w. VIII Give It's First Function
Next Week.

Next Wednesday night the indianapolis
L. A. w. will celebrate its first ladies'
night at the clubhouse. The affair will not
be greatly different from the smoker of last
Wednesday night, excepting that the cob
pipes and cigars will be missing. The en-
tertainment is provided for club members
and their ladies and for all lady members
of the League of American Wheelmen and
their escorts.
This is the first time an attempt to pro-
vide entertainment of this kind has been
made. Ever since the club has been in ex-
istence persons have been inclined to ask
why ladies are not admitted to member
ship and the lady members of the league
have asked why they are not eligible to
membership in club that exists exclusive
ly for l.. A. w. members. While there is
probably no intention of opening the club
permanently to ladies it is the desire of
the governing committee and leading men,
bers that the lady members of the league
be given an occasional opportunity to visit
the clubhouse. This is therefore the first of
a probable series of such smokers"
The entertainment for the night will be
varied. Prof. w. III. Bass, assisted by F.
NJ Lacey, will give a stereopticon exhibit
tion, showing number of new war views
and others of general interest. There will be
vocal and instrumental music and some
speeches and refreshments will be served.

HELPS THE PLUMBER.
The House Rat Eats Quantities of Lead
 Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.

Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.
 One of the most persistent and do- structiye assistants the plumber has ia the house rat. 4 rat can eat out plumb. ing as fast as an average honest man can pay for it To rat a greasy lead pipe IS Q toothsome moreeau. When a hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds his way into the cellar of q house and thence up through the walls to the space between the floors, the first thing he tackles is the grease on the outside of a lead waste pipe If he finds other food shortly thereafter, he spares the pipe, otherwise he eats the pipe and the water escapes through to the ceiling below and ruins the plaster. The plumb CT Is sent for and repairs the leak, but he doesn't tell what caused it.
 Once upon time a rat was "hoist by his own petard, so to speak. He got into house and found his way to q lead pipe, on which he tried his teeth. 1t was pleasant chewing and put a fine edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon he had eaten a large hole in the pipe and stream of scalding water poured forth. Before he could escape he had been scalded to death, to say nothing of being drowned. But he had the satisfac- tion of knowing that he had ruined a fine ceiling and that the carpet under heath it had been soaked full of limo- water. There is no great loss without some small gain.
 Just to show what they could do, some rats once ate 50 feet of lead pipe under bathroom and over the kitchen of big hotel ill this city The floor of tie bathroom was marble and under it was fireproof floor made of iron beams and hollow tiles. The pipes were laid in the space between the floor and the girdcrs. Rats were attracted thereto by the odors from the kitchen. They met the lead pipes. When their capacities were satisfied, the space was filled with lead dust
 Rats lilzo to eat drain pipes from kitchen sinks because they are lined with grease. The only way to keep them away is to pack the pipes wion mineral wool. Mineral wool Is sub- stance made of furnace slag through which jet of air has been forced while it cooled. The mineral wool gets in ) the eyes of the rats and drives them away. Modern plumbers discourage rats by laying iron instead of lead pipes.
 Rats, strange to say, are great breed- CTS of sewer gas. They gather up bones and scraps of meat about the kitchen yard and carry them up into the rafte-s between floors and ceilings The pres enee of this plunder is sooner or latar discovered by the odor, and the plumber is sent for to discover whence the sewer gas comes. It is not always we'll to tel the housekeeper the truth.
 Thus it is the humble brown house rat helps his friend the plumber earn an honest livelihood. and the plumbcf thanks him in his own gentle way Kansas City Star.
