The directors reception to George T.

the new members. prospective members and
friends of the association present. The
early part of the evening was spent in
handshaking, and about o'clock Caleb s.
Denny, president of the board of direc-
tors, called for assembly in the parlor. He
spoke for some little time upon the work
of the organization here and introduced
Mr.. HowSer, who responded with a short
talk, urging the members to hard work so
that the membership might be brought up
to one thousand. the number which he
hopes to make the standard for years TO
come. The Rev. DIR. Ballard, of Memorial
Presbyterian Church, followed Mr.. Howser
There were two solos by Paul Gilbert, fol-
lowed by John d. Martin, who gave two
readings, one being from Rudyard Kipling
after which the guests were invited to the
third floor, where light refreshments were
served.
Mr.. Howser was i'm a happy mood, which
he said was due principally to the welcome
given and the interest manifested in the
work of the association. He has already
done considerable work toward increas-
ing the membership and the advantage to
members and promises much more.

IN THE FIFTEENTH WARD.
Several Good Speeches Listened to
with Interest.

The Fifteenth Ward Republican Club held
its regular bi-monthly meeting last night
at the clubrooms, SOC South Meridian street
The Republicans of this ward were among
the first TO organize. and they have every
thing in good running order for the cam
paign. The clubroom was filled, and the
voters listened to speeches by l.. ID. Hay
Charles Benedict and Harry b. Smith. Mr.
Hay was the first speaker, and he handled
the subjects of Imperialism and trusts in
convincing manner. Referring to Bryan's
faculty for jumping from one issue to an
other, he said: Imperialism became too
hot and Bryan had TO drop it and grab
hands. He dwelt on the free silver fall
lacy, and declared that the Democrats
would have the voters acknowledge that
they were wrong in voting for Mckinley in
SO. The action of the Democrats of the
last Congress in regard. to trust legislation
was discussed and shown to be harmful to
successful action against the trusts.
Mr.. Benedict made an impassioned ap-
peal, and his remarks were greeted with
generous applause.
Mr.. Smith gave figures TO show that the
money spent by the present Board of
County Commissioners had been placed
where it would do the most good and be for
the best interests of the taxpayers of the
books of his office, and declared that the
business of the office was conducted on the
best business principles.
Michael Jefferson, candidate for county
assessor, was called upon and made few
remarks.

GETS HIS SYRIAN WIFE
GEORGE FARSOS FINALLY LIQUI.
DATES A CLAIM AGAINST HER.
Charles sigus Held Her for n Numbe r
of Years, Despite the Hus-
bands Protest.

Mary Farson dismissed her suit against
her husband, George Farson, for divorce
in Judge McMaster's court yesterday.
which ends a long string of unusual and
interesting events. The couple was mar
ried in Syria. Several years ago Farson
came to this country, taking up his resi-
dence in Pittsburg, and left his wife be-
hind. Later, he sent her $3.50 TO join him.
When she arrived she brought with her
Charles Sigus. Sigus at once set up a
claim for Parsons wife, and offered to
turn her over to her husband for $50. He
refused to pay the money and the wife and
Sigus ran away.
Several years passed and Farson came
to Indianapolis. Last December he found
that his wife and Sigus were also living
here. Another effort was made to secure
his wife. but the ss5 still stood against
him. Farson saved UP his money, and
when he had $50. compromise was made
for that amount, and the money was paid
to Sigus. Sigus then maintained that Far
son still owed him SIS, and would not turn
his wife over. A threat was said TO have
been made to the effect that the children
would be taken away, and in desperation
Farson brought suit against his wife and
Sigus in a Justices court. Before this
proceeding Sgus left the city, and the case
was continued. In the meantime Mrs. Far
son filed suit for divorce from her hus-
band. alleging cruel treatment. The chill.
dren were placed In the custody OF the
Board of Childrens Guardians. A day oil
two ago reconciliation was enected
which resulted in the dismissal of the di-
vorce suit and also the suit in the justice
court. The children will be returned tc
their parents.

A FALSE CHARGE.
The Sentinel Attempts to Throw Cold
Water on the Carnival.

The official organ Of Democracy of the
State yesterday morning charged in an
article that appeared under startling head
lines, that the Republican managers were
attempting to inject politics into the ap-
preaching fall carnival by advertising a
Roosevelt day Colonel Roosevelt is to
be In this city on Oct. H. Secretary Elliott
of the Republican county committee said
yesterday that the charges of the Sentinel
were absolutely false. He asserted that no
attempt had been made to combine Roose-
velt's visit with the carnival attractions
and in fact there had been no negotiations
whatever with the carnival managers.
Chairman Hernly, of the State committee,
said he was also ignorant of any attempt
TO drag the carnival into politics. Max r.
Hyman, one of the carnival promoters, says
the railroads are responsible for the
Roosevelt day feature.

he is manager of both Searchlight and
Anaconda, making a formal demand fol-
the full purse of 5000, offered for the race
between the two horses at the fair grounds
last Friday, claiming Searchlight is en-
titled to the whole purse by the rules OF
the American Trotting Association; that
when a horse is distanced the whole purse
goes TO the winner. Secretary Downing
replied at once, refusing the demand, and
added that he regarded the race as a farce
from start TO finish. He said that he be-
lieved the State Board would have had
the right to retain the entire purse
as the horses were not driven to win, but
the 81, 200 had already been paid to Search
lights manager. There may be a contest
over the remainder of the purse, which wa.
withheld because Anaconda was distanced
