A MARTIAL PROGRAMME
Is Given at High school Hall for the
BENEFIT OF the Cadets.

The large assembly hall at the High
School building was crowded last evening
by the High School pupils and their friends,
the entertainment being given for the bene-
fit of the High School Cadets. The young
officers, in faultless uniforms, similar to the
West Point cadets, were on guard, and their
principal duty was TO see that everybody
had good time. The programme consisted
of music by the two glee clubs of the school,
mandolin club, solos by Frank Brown and a
recitation by Miss Myla ]. Closer.
During the intermissons the buglers of
the cadets sounded calls frequently and the
young soldiers sailed forth with several
surprises. The stars and stripes were hoist
ed by a squad Of the young cadets and a
volley was fired. On either side Of the stage
and bareback were served to the guests
The decorations gave an armyllke appear
anee TO the hall. After the musical pro-
gramme the hall was cleared for dancing
and, of course, the young soldiers, in their
pretty uniforms, captivated the young
ladies. The cadets were organized this year
and already have won great favor with the
company participating In the entertainment
and drills last night were as follows: Cap

COUPLE MARRlES TWICE
IN ORDER THAT THE BRIDE MAY
SUSTAIN A CASE IN COURT.
Bessie Smith Married without Her
for Her PrOperty-The story.

A petition, signed by Bessie Curtis, filed
Yesterday with the probate commissioner.
demands of the Indiana Trust Company
that about 81 600 which is held by IL in trust
for Bessie Smith be turned over to her.
The petitioner is a daughter of Mrs. Ida
Smith, who, under the provisions of her
husbands will, was made executrix Of the
estate and the legal guardian of their minor
children. Among the assets Of the estate
was an insurance policy for 5000, which
was to be divided equally between Mrs.
Smith and the children, the latter not to
receive their portion until they became of
age. Bessie was at the time about seven
teen years of age. She was in love with
a young man-Joseph a. Curtis-and when
their marriage was mentioned TO her
mother objections were made and the
daughter was refused permission to marry
until the young man had shown himself to
be wholly satisfactory to the mother.
Several months ago the young people, it
is said, left the city and secured a license
in Hancock county and were married there.
Upon their return Mrs. Curtis secured the
services of an attorney and made demand
upon the trust company and her mother as
guardian for her share of the estate. The
law provides that when a minor under
guardianship gets married the guardian
ship ceases, no matter what the age, and
it was on this ground that the demand was
made for the money. The attorney for the
mother and the trust company contended,
however that under the law minor could
not marry without the consent of the
guardian, and therefore the marriage of the
young woman and Curtis was illegal, as her
guardian had refused to consent to the
marriage. The money was therefore not
forthcoming.
A few days ago the woman celebrated her
eighteenth birthday, and then, acting upon
the advice of her attorney and the clew
given in the answer of the trust company
and the guardian new license was pro-
cured and second marriage ceremony per-
formed Thursday by Justice Smock. An
other petition was then filed with the COM
missioner asking that the money be paid
over. The matter will come up for argu-
ment Saturday, Nov. %.
Mrs. Smith told her attorney that she
did not wish to stand in the way of her
daughters happiness, but refused to con-
sent to her marriage to Curtis because she
knew nothing of him and did not wish her
child to marry any one who might squander
her money.
Despite the fact that Curtis and the
woman were once before married she gave

FIXING OF TAX LEVIES.
The Laws Now i'm Force Shall Govern
the Officials.

In response to query from State Auditor
Hart as to the right of the County Councils
and Township Advisory Boards to make tax
levies in excess of the figures provided in
the old reform law governing county and
township officials. Attorney General Taylor
yesterday gave the following opinion, which
applies to all counties and townships in the
State:
There is no repeating provision in either
the county or township reform law, which
specifically refers TO any provision of exist
ing laws limiting levies. Therefore. IL such
implication. Statutory repeats by implica-
ton are not favored There must be an
irreconcilable conflict between the two TO
effect the annulment of the older law. There
is irreconcilable conflict between the
statutes fixing the levies and the statute
known the county and township reform
laws.
Section - of the county reform law
(Acts OF 1899. p. 35i) provides: 1t shall be
the duty of said Council each year TO levy
an annual tax within the rate prescribed
by law sufficient TO pay all current running
expenses of the county. including such tenn
porary loans and interest on county indebt-
edness.' etc.
This provision answers your question so
far as the county reform law Is concerned
There being no irreconcilable conflict be-
tween the township reform law and the
statute fixing the limit of levies, IL Is my
opinion that the laws fixing the levies In
Indiana are still in force, and County Coun-
ellis and Township Advisory Boards are
governed by Them.
