The suit of Mrs. Ona Osborn, by
her next best friend, s. p. Cox, father
of the plaintiff, VS., Amas Osborn ct al
for the alienation Of her husbands at
fections which resulted in her yaband-
onment, brought TO Fulton Circuit
court from Starke county. in which
the plaintiff asked for $4,000 dam
ages and support of herself and child,
was opened in court Thursday morn
ing.
A large number of witnesses were
in attendance. and each side was for
tilted with an array of legal talent
of rare ability. and rhe attorneys
were drawing from the case all there
IS in it. To spectators in the court
room it was evident that the young
wife, who is comedy and the mother
OF sweet little babe, was putting up
a strong case.
After the adjournment OF court for
the noon hour, it was learned that the
parties to the suit had agreed on a
compromise, the defendant to pay the
plaintiff the sum of two thousand dol
lars, court costs and the wife grants
the right of divorce to her husband
without stress at law
1t is said the defendant is the owner
! of FIVE hundred acres of land and is
well able to pay for his experience ir
dissolving marital partnerships. The
public will view the compromise and
payment of two thousand dollars by
he defendant, as an evidence of guilt
OF conspiracy as charged, and are APT
to conclude that while the plaintiff
made a good move in getting away
from the environments of her hus-
bands relatives. yet she did not re-
ceive half of what she might have
been awarded had the jury been per
mitted to adjust her damages.--Ro-
chester Republican.

of the navy, in his annual report for
the fiscal year ending June 30 last,
made public Thursday, recommends
that an order be ISSUED by the navy
department forbidding the use of

State Brewers Put on the Lid.

The Indiana Brewers Association
enlisted Thursday afternoon in an in
dependent temperance movement oil
is own when it decided informally
not TO start any more saloons in this
state and to discontinue purchasing
fixtures for friendly saloon men. Ii
was determined that henceforth the
brewers shall not advance funds for
support of the saloons handling their
beer and also that the association
would assist the authorities in enforc-
ing the Nicholson law.
Sometime ago the Indianapolis
Brewers Association, led by Albert
Lieber, Crawford Fairbanks and Jo-
seph Schaf, decided not to start any
more saloons in indianapolis for two
years They expected to ease the
anti-saloon agitation by limiting the
number Of saloons and attempting to
drive out dive keepers.
These matters received considera-
ton Thursday afternoon at meet
ing OF the state ASSOCIATION at Indi-
annapolis About forty members
representing practically every brew
cry in Indiana, gathered about
an elaborate banqueting board and
discussed the situation in a heart to
heart manner.
"The brewers of the state decided
that they would assist the authorities
in wedding ont the bad and irrespon
sible saloon men," said Joseph E
Bell. attorney for the Brewers Asso
citation The brewers believe thai
enough saloons are in operation ir
the state of Indiana They will no
assist in starting any new saloons
The brewers will also give the author
tiles all encouragement possible il
enforcing the liquor laws of the
state"

Gets $50 for Tracing Woman's An
ceStrV

y suit by Charles H. Browning of
New York, as an expert in heraldry
and genealogy. to recover $500 from
Mrs. Thomasene Rigby Woolsey for
tracing her ancestry 10 King Alfred
the Great, was heard in the city
court OF New York. Wednesday and
the jury awarded rhe full amount
Mrs. Woolsey is the wife of Min
thurne Woolsey, banker and broker.
She wished to become a member OF
the Order of the Crown, a society
founded by Miss Farnsworth of De
troit To be eligible as a member
the ancestry OF the person applying
for ad1nittance must be traced back
to royalty.
Browning declared Mrs. Woolsey
told him she would pay him if he
could trace her ancestry back to roy
atty Mrs. Woolsey believes she is
descended from Alfred the Great The
reason she alleges for refus;n pay
ment of Browning's bill was that his
report could not be verified by the
genealogist of the Order of the Crown
and she was rejected
Browning testified that Mrs Wool
sey gave him the names of thirty
two ancestors for him to trace. But
Mr.. Browning's king hound couldn't
follow the trail very far back from
Gov. Dudley of the Massachusetts
Bay colony The inference from
Browning's testimony on this point
was that dark man with a bundle
going on journey had crossed the
trail somewhere in the fifteenth cen
fury, SO the king hound, intelligent
creature though he is, was unable to
follow the scent.
But was Mr.. Browning down heart
ed? No. After giving The king hound
a nights rest and three dog biscuits
he sent him off on the trail of Dor

dissatisfied at the prospect OF further
delay in his case. His new chief
counsel. Martin w Littleton, refused
to take charge of the defense, how
ever. until it was distinctly under

and he insists on handling matters re-
gardless OF Thaw's wishes. Another
lunacy commission is pretty certain
to be appointed soon to report on
Tham's mental condition, and Little
ton. as we'll as District Attorney Je-
rome, wants 10 examine the testl-
mony before a similar commission at
the last trial. This will require time.
December was fixed by Judge Dow
ling for beginning the second hearing
but the indications now are that IT
will not start until several weeks lat
er. Littleton and Jerome discussed
the matter and are said to be practi-
cally agreed.
Justice Fitzgerald, who appointed
the last lunacy commission, recently
refused the request of Attorney Pea

BRYAN to PARTY: Yes. I'll Accept.


Through the editorial columns of
The Commoner William Jennings
Bryan has come out into the open
with a, statement of his position
which sets at rest any lingering fear
his followers might have entertained
concerning his Willingness once more
to accept the Democratic nomination
for president.
Mr. Bryan declares he will not seek
nor ask for the nomination, but if it is
the desire of the rank and file of the
party that he should have it he would
accept it cheerfully That is in effect
his answer to the question: Will you
accept the nomination? which he
says, has been pressed upon him for
year or more.
Mr. Bryan admits he .,as had hon
ors enough from his party to satisfy
any reasonable ambition and declares
the question which should weigh most
with the party is whether his nomina-
tion will strengthen its position next
year If the Democrats should de-
eide that the nomination OF some one
else will add more strength, he de-
clares he will be neither disappointed
nor. disgruntled"
He insists, however, that the ques-
ton of his availability shall no. be
left to the will "of few leaders or tc
the newspapers that call themselves
Democrat" but to the voters OF the
party as a whole.
Mr.. Bryan denies that he has main
tanned silence for so long in order tc
get a line on the Republican candi-
date or on his own probable chances
OF success or failure. If he is nomin
ated he will make the race whether
fearful of defeat or sanguine of vic.
tory, no matter who the Republicans
nominate.
That is his position AS to the mex
campaign he insists that or the par

literary recognition for an article on

a stately young woman of marked

Saloons Die in Oklahoma.

When II o'clock came on Saturday
night approximately 500 saloons in
Oklahoma closed as a result of the
statewide prohibition provision in the
state constitution.
The greatest number of saloo IS in

City, where the fixtures of each sa-
loon had an average value OF about
81 800. The only breweries in the
state, two in number, were in Okla

An idea OF the traffic cut off may
be gained from the statement OF an
experienced saloonkeeper He said
the gross income of each saloon IN
Oklahoma would average $40 day,
making total Of s3,696,0oO paid an
nually for alcoholic beverages by the

For the first time the government has
