THE SHOP TRAIN.

One of the best patronized trains that pulls
out of Fitzgerald is the six O'Clock train for the
shops every morning. Another coach has been
added to the train and several hundred wage
earners pack the three coaches to their capacity
every morning.
The shop train means more to Fitzgerald than
any other of her numerous trains. 1t means every
thing to the hundreds of workmen and their families
and it means much to our banks and stores.
Long may that train live and may it grow
longer as time passes
The conditions at the shops are most encour
aging and satisfactory we shall be quite satisfied
when the pay roll reaches one thousand names
with 81. so per day average.

MARRIAGE FAILS IN
EVERY TENTH CASE
Lake County However Falls
Below the Ratio; Stati-
clans Report Out.

During the year 1906. 1886 marriages
were performed in Indiana and yet
there were only Al divorces.
Figures just compiled by Miss Mary
Stubbs. state statician, show that the
number of divorces granted in Indiana
during the year 1906 equaled about II
per cent. of the total number of marri-
ages.
During the year there were 2S,7SS
marriages in Indiana and 1878
divorces. Marion County, as usual, had
the largest number of both marriages
and divorces. 2,794 marriage licenses
and 5S7 divorces being granted in the
county during the year. While Lake
County was next with the number of
marriages the county fell short of the
usual ratio of divorces. Lake county
had 1886 marriages, but only A di-
vorces. Vigo county had 9S6 marriages
and 1877 divorces. Vanderburg had l.
005 marriages and 122 divorces.
The statisticians figures show that
in the divorce cases a large majority of
the defendants were the husbands.
About thre times as many divorces
were granted to the wives as were
granted to the husband. The total
number granted to the wives was q,
772 and the total number granted to
the husbands was S99. Most of the
wives obtained their divorces on the
grounds of cruel treatment with
abandonment a close second. Most OF
the husbands secured their divorces on
the grounds of abandonment.
Abandonment Principal Charge.
The number of divorces granted tc
husbands on various pleas We're given
as follows: Abandonment, 332; inf
deity. 1856; criminal conviction.
cruel treatment. 316; drunkenness, IS

causes. So. The number of divorces
granted to wives were: Abandonment
S25: infdelity. 1872; criminal convic
tions. 50; cruel treatment, 936; drunk
enness, 254; failure to provide, 460
miscellaneous causes, 7S
A remarkable fact in connection will
the divorce business in Indiana in 1870
is that twelve men secured divorces
on the plea that their wives failed Il
support them.

SESSION OF 40 WEEKS
New Bill Allows Additional $1,000
to County Clerk and
Sheriff Each.

The news in these columns last night
that the superior court bill had been
signed by the governor was hailed with
delight throughout the county and was
one OF the principal topics of discuss
sion today. The interest in the new
measure now centers in the appoint
ment that the governor will make for
the judgeship and also in the promi-
nent points in the bill
While the governor may make the
appointment Immediately it is thought
that he will hold it off for some time
as the continuous session does not be-
gin until next September. In Ham
mond it is thought that his choice

A NJ Turner, A. F. Knots and WIN

former law partner OF Governor Hanly
when he practiced In Lafayette and Is
also a warm friend OF Attorney w. ].
Winery. Mr.. Turner is said to have
supplanted A f. Knots in the eyes of
the governor and has made his position
all the more secure because he champ
ioned the present metropolitan police
system while A. F. Knotss lost prestige
in advocating the change proposed by
the Mccullough bill. The governors
veto of the Faulkner riparian rights
bill too is said to have created a breach
| between the governor and a. f. Knotts
The new superior court bill does not
only provide for a continuous session
of forty weeks in Lake county but also
establishes circuit in Porter and La
porte counties with sessions in valpar-
also for Porter county and in Michigan
City for Laporte county. with aIternate
sessions of FIVE weeks each.
The Judge appointed by the governor
for Lake county shall hold his office
until the first day of January 1909 and
until his successor shall have been elect
ed and qualified. Judge II. B. Tuthill
continues as Judge OF the Porter La
porte circuit until January following
the next regular election when he may
| succeed himself
A provision welcomed very much by
county clerk II. H. Wheeler, and by
sheriff F. S. Carter is the raise Of
salary allowing each an additional
$1,000 a year. The salaries of the
Porter and LaPorte county officers
remain the same. The present salaries
of the clerk and sheriff Of Lake county
are $4,000 and $4,000 and Office fees re-
spectively.

be done. The temporary quarters viii
