A Remarkable Birth.

Thursday a daughter was born to
Mr.. and Mrs Freeman Keiser. 1t is a
remarkable fact that the mother needed
no medical assistance. She worked
steadily up till the time of the Crisis
and was only confined about IN hour in
all. Both mother and baby ar in per
feet health. This seeming miracle is
attributed by her and her husband to
divine interference Last fall a child
was born to them with no greater OBJ
stacleS to overcome than in the present
case. In both instances the mother W as
able to continue her household duties
on the same day. Since the family have
adopted their peculiar religion no ply
stefan has stepped inside of the house.

A Suit Against Himself.

A peculiar suit is being brought by
Albert Ogle, of Muncle, against him
self. He is administrator of two es-
tates, one that of William Snyder, and
the other that of Catherine Snyder The
estate of William Snyder has a claim
against that of Catherine Snyder.
As the representative of the former
estate Mr.. Ogle brings suit to recover
the full amount of the claim, and as the
representative of the latter he is con-
testing tie suit. 1t is said to be the
most peculiar case of its kind ever tried
in the county. MIR. Ogle is both pros
ecutlng and cOntesting the claim with
great viRor, having hired the best at
torneys in the city for both sides.

ParOled Eleven Men

The board of parole of the state
prison paroled eleven men Tuesday out
of fifty applications. The board has
adopted new rule that prohibits the
publication of the names of paroled
men for the reason that publication is
very often detrimental to the men in
preventing them from getting employ
ment. Wherever they go in the state
their record is apt to precede them, and
very often the prison authorities, upon
whom devOlyes the duty of keeping
watch over the men for a certain time
after prisoners have been discharged,
have been troubled in keeping the
paroled men located. The same rule
has been adopted at the reformatory.

Band Concert.

The atmosphere was chilly Thursday
but regardless of this fact the people
thronged up and down Michigan and
Laporte streets in anticipation and at
last in realization OF the Reed band
concert. Twelve pi ces were rendered
which were received universally with
appreciation. Several new selections
formed pleasing part of the program.
AS the season advances the boys have
become more apt with their several in
struments, and now play with good
time and in untaltering tones.
Concerning the demeanor of the audi
tors it may be casually said there were
few DRINKS, little willful disorder and
no accidents worthy of recording.

Editors Conference.

The Northern Indiana Editorial AS
ecciatlon closed two days session at
Muncie last Friday. The association
represents thoroughly the newspapers
of Northern Indiana. The CONNER
cial club, of Muncie entertained the
visiting editors in manner that caused
every visitor to leave with words of
praise for the hOspitsble greeting he
had received. The Muncie Times
stated that the appearance of the Wis
itors put to shame the jokes of the
funny men who have the habit of
representing editors as a half starved
and poorly dressed lot of men. They
were on the other hand prosperous
looking crowd, so prosperous that al
attache of the Kirby House thought
they represented another trust about to
be launched.
Badges were pinned on the visitors,
printed on which was quill and the
letters n. L. +. A. These badges were
re cogniZed as currency while The visitors
were in Muncie.
On Thursday evening the CONNER

Children's Home Notes.

Regarding the placing out of children,
as previously stated, each applicant
must present with the application per-
sonal letters of recommendation from
at least three responsible citizens.
These letters of recommendation COM
bined with the superintendents private
investigation Of the home offered con-
sttute her vouchers for accepting the
home on three months trial. During
this time of trial, further investigation
is made, and no child is permanently
placed except upon careful deliberation.
Each child placed out is under the
supervision of the Board Of State Char
tiles as well as the supervision OF this
institution. Any aid in investigating a
home, if written over ones own sigma
ture, will be appreciated; but no atten-
tion will be paid to anonymous COM
municatiOns.
The prospect is that the number OF
permanent charges will reach 100 by
Sept. l. This will necessitate more
room and complete sex separation, and
an additional kitchen and dining room
will probably be erected before cold
weather, thus enabling us to convert the
present large dining room into girls
sitting room. An improvement fund
has been started, among friends outside
of the county principally, and $500 In
money and pledges has been secured.
Contributions, large or small, will be
appreciated, and anything left at the
State bank will be duly credited to this
fund.
Six of the boys industrial class pic

Our youngest baby found nice home
last week, and now small cribs and
nursing bottles are at a discount at the

the table and take three square meals "a
day. Two additions to the cottage
class were made last week. Other
arrivals for the industrial department
are expected this week.
The children are much excited over
the coming "big time" on the Fourth of
July. They will be taken to see the
parade and will burn the usual amount
of fireworks in the evening. The hand
some flag donated by Mrs. Clark will
be unfurled to the breeze and other

The women of New Orleans have
just furnished logical argument for
granting themselves the franchise
at least if they own property. The
question submitted to popular vote
was whether the city should expend
S3o,ooo,ooo for complete system
of sewerage and city drainage. All
women owning property in the city
were allowed to vote, and over
5000 of them did so. By their bal
lots the improvement was carried.
The city, when the work is COM
pleted, will no longer be harbOr
for yellow fever and other climatic
diseases.

AT a banquet IN Seattle on Tues
day night James !. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad drew a
glowing picture of the profit that
would result from sending our
western wheat to the markets of
Asia. instead of depending entirely
on Europe. He predicted an aver
age gain of at least 1 ) cents bushel
in the price of wheat and argued
that the only thing needed W as the
subsidizlng of steamship lines to car
nv the grain. There is good IDEAL
of force in that reasoning, provided
the Asiatics could be taught to use
American wheat.
