DIVORCES ON THE wANE.
Indiana on the Other Hand Shows In
crease In Marriage Record.

crease III iWGIIbdS0 tSS0tAs
Indianapolis, Ind, April 1O.-Accord-
ing to the reports received by the sec
rotary of the board of statistics from
every county in the state, with the ex-
ception of Brown county, the number
of marriages for the year just passed
is greater than that of the preceding
year, and the divorce evil is on the
Wane.
In the state Of Indiana, 28,213 mar
riages were performed last year and
3,435 divorce DEGREES We're issued, as
against 2S,O05 marriages during the
preceding year and 3,763 divorces. OF
these, 2,516 were issued to the woman
this year and 1858 last year.
The statistics also show that drunk
enness among women is on the in
crease and on the decline among the
members of the sterner sex. Ten hus-
bands were freed because their wives
drank, 269 wives We're separated from
their husbands on account of intem-
perance. The report of the year 1908
shows that only two husbands We're
divorced because of their wives fond
ness for the cup that cheers while 342
were made single because of their own
fondness for drink.
Marion county judges granted di-
vorces to 100 men and to 342 women.
In these the chief grounds for COM
plant were cruelty and abandonment.
Marriage licenses were issued to 2,675
couples. ST Joseph county holds the
record as being the only one from
which wife secured divorce from
her husband because he had been con-
yicted of a felony.

and will now serve in that double ca

A question was raised under the
old soldier preferment act of the last
general assembly by the application OF
William Hundley, an old soldier, for
this position, he claiming that under
the new law he was entitled to prefer
ence. The council ignored this phase
of the law, evidently holding that II
did not apply to this kind of case.
Many are interested in this feature
of the new law, and are anXiously
awaiting the decision of the case now
pending in the supreme court, inVolV-
ing this question.
The books of the town assessor were
carefully examined by the board OF

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched in

disease taken in with their mothers
milk Mothers cannot b. too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babies. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is case in point:
81 was great coffee drinker from
a child, and thought could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last
it was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added, two years
ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby
was born seven months ago, and all
most from the beginning it, too, suffer-
ed from sour stomach. She was talk
ing it from me
'In my distress l consulted a friend
Of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk, have since as
certained that it really dries up the
milk
$50 quit coffee, and tried tea, and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. I turned to Postum Coffee
with the happiest results. 1t proved to
be the very thing l needed. 1t not only
agreed perfectly with baby and myself
but it increased the flow of my milk.
MY husband then quit coffee and used
Postum, quickly got well of the dys-
pepsia with which he had been trou-
bled no longer suffer from the dizzi-
ness, blind spells, pain in my heart or
sour stomach. Postum has cured
them.
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. 1t has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given by

AUcTIoNED OFF IN INFANCY.
Woman of IS Told on Deathbed Of Her
lIoo+;tu

IOenCltys
Leetonia, o., April 10.-Since the
death of Mrs. Lydia Koenreich, aged
So, in Fairfield township, a week ago,
remarkable chapter in her life's his
tory has come to light. 1t develops
that she was virtually sold in infancy
and not until few days before her
death did she know her true name or
who her parents were.
"a custom prevailed in the early
years in eastern Ohio OF auctioning off
persons who were charges upon a
township or municipality. The late
Mrs. Koenreich was abandoned by her
parents when but ten days old, and
was found in a field. She was taken
charge of by the farmer, who shortly
afterward notified the township trus-
tees that he would be unable to keep
her. The trustees, in accordance with
their custom, therefore advertised that
she would be sold to the bidder who
would agree to give her good home
and rear her properly.
She was bid in by Daniel Hisey, one
of the best men in the community. For
caring for her the township paid Mr.,
Hisey $40 year.
Inc CHllu WAS at llSl Cdiieu Slidiily
Field from the conditions under which
she was found. Later she was given
the name of Lydia Green, and retained
it until her marriage to John Koen-
reich in 1854. While still a child she
learned the circumstances of her birth
and abandonment but her foster par
ents would not tell her who her par
ents We're, tho she was promised that
she should learn the secret before she
died. The secret was revealed to her
after more than eighty-four years, and
only a few days before her death.

TEACHERS, ANNUAL INSTITUTE.
osceoIa County Holds Interesting
Meeting Which is Largely Attended.


Sibley, April 10. - Friday evening
saw the close of the most interesting
and most largely attended normal In
stitution that has been held In Us
ceola county for years, the enrolment
numbering about 100 in attendance. AL
tho the meeting this year only con-
sumed one weeks time, 1t has been one
of unusual interest and it is consid-
cred that fully as much or more know
ledge of practical methods has been
manifested in this short session as In
the two weeks sessions of former
years. 1t was the purpose this year
of County superintendent I. 2. Nc.
Kinley to teach methods rather than
text book knowledge, and the plan
was very successful and pleasing to
those in attendance.
The instructors this year We're as
follows: DR.. /. w. Howarth, of the Chi
cago University, science of education:
Superintendent W. N. Clifford. OF
Council Bluffs, geography and didac-
tics; Blanche Gowdy, of Marion, Iowa,
primary methods; Professor s. s.
Buntly, of Sheldon, music; Professor
L. b. Parsons, of Sibley, arithmetic.
1t IS narQly necessary W SldlC lAdI
the branches were all very ably han
died by this competent corps of in
structors.
The lectures given daily by DR..
Howarth were valuable and inter-
esting feature of the meeting, as were
also the lectures of superintendent
Clifford. On Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings Superintendent Clifford gave
Illustrated lectures, which We're free
to every one, at the school building.
These lectures were very interesting
and instructive to the large crowds in
attendance. On Friday evening, Dr..
Howarth gave a lecture at the Con-
gregational church on Making the
Most Of Life" which was one of the
best things that Sibley people have
had the pleasure of listening to In d
long time. The large church was
crowded full of interested people, and
all agree that the lecture was some
thing good and very much worth
having. This lecture was very fit
ing one for the close of the institute.

Waterloo, April 10. - When the G.
G. w. passenger arrived from the
north at 5: 80 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Chester Miller, travelling sales
man for an eastern house, was taken
from the car in an unconscious con-
dition and conveyed with all possible
speed to the Presbyterian hospital. He
became unconscious shortly after leav-
ing Oelwein and Des Moines physic-
ian who was on the train cared f :
him as best he could until Waterloo
was reached.
This physician decided that the
cause of his illness was ptomaine pois-
oning and gave instructions to those
who took the patient in charge at the
depot to apply the stomach pump at
the earliest possible moment. This
was done as soon as he reached the
hospital, and after considerable work
he was restored to consciousness and
it is thought in few days will be able
to resume his work on the road.

Special to Times-ReDublican.
Clear Lake, April 10.-Much interest
was aroused among the Inhabitants
of this vicinity in the outcome OF the
Supervisors visit to the land which
the owners claim is being rendered
worthless by the efforts of interested
parties to maintain the present water
level on Clear Lake, as was announced
in these columns last week thorough
investigation of the situation was made
by the Supervisors last Friday, who de-
cided that the proper remedy for the
difficulty was not the removal of the
dam, but the establishment of drain
surplus water to the West Fork.
The dam across the outlet about
which there has been SO much conten-
ton was put in many years ago, for
the purpose Of furnishing power for a
mill then in operation there. when
the recent wet seasons came 1t was
feared that the structure might De
washed out, and a cement dam, not
quite so high as the original one, was
put in. Later it was raised two feet
by a wooden addition. and the water
is now about twenty inches above the
cement work There is almost univer-
sal opposition to the idea of lowering
the water, on the part of both town
and country residents, except In
small district south of the lake, and
the belief is not general that the in
creased volume of water in the lake is
to any considerable extent responsible
