The Story of a vsneefuI Wife Nd I
Bible eErrer.

The Story of a veneefuI Wifs Nd .
Bible Error.
In the famous library Of Woisenbut-
tel, In Hesse. Is an old Bible which is
greatly treasured. 1t appears that in
that passage In Genesis where God
told Eve that Adam shall be her mas
ter and shall rule over her the German
translation is, "Und er soil dein herr
sein." Herr" which means master,
does not occur In this Bible. but instead
there appears the word ''narr," which
means fool.
The error was caused by a quarrel
between the printer and his wife in the
year 1880. The wife was yengeful,
and in the silent watches Of the night
she entered the room where her hus-
band had been setting type and mali,
ciously changed herr TO ''narr." The
printer was arrested after the book
had been printed and the mistake dis.
covered, but his apprentice. testified
that he saw the wife steal into the
composing room and alter the word
The woman was imprisoned for bias

REMOVAL OF MARRIAGE
MILL A FACTOR
Without This the Position Becomes
an Empty and More or Less Doubt
full Honor, According to Old Time
Magistrate-Lose Your Friend,
Gain Nothing But Enemies.

Because the taking away of the
marriage mill from this city, making
the office unremunerative. and it is
thankless job anyway, Justice Will
liam A. Jordan has prepared his resig
nation as justice of the peace of Ham
mond. This document will be handed
TO the county commissioners at their
next regular meeting, which will be
the first OF next year. The vocabul-
airy of the venerable jurist was not
adequate enough to describe his opin-
ion of a position where he was asked
to sit on the bench and incur the
enmity of all whom he saw fit to find
Judgment against. and receive In re-
turn no reward for the painful duty.
In the good old days in addition to
the fees from the marriage of the
couples. there was also a side issue
which lent dignity to the office and
also helped in paying the office rent
and many incidental expenses. And
now alasi at the present time the
source ef profit has been removed and
now there is hardly anything In II
saveeYempty honor. Judge Jordan has
had AIs honor for such a length of
zine lat he has long since forgotten
70 ssSg 1t,
In stating the cause of his intended
action the Judge showed why it was not
a paying position. If all the costs
which are due him were paid, it would
l. = zoubt be profitable to remain on
the bench But small fraction of
the bills are settled, however, and for
that reason the commissioners must
now seek and her incumbent. There is
no possible means to collect the costs
which are due without mourning a
greater expense than they are worth.
and for that reason they are allowed
to stand unsettled. This is one fact
why Judge Jordan viii retire.
Another reason which induced the
resignation was the fact that the posi-
tion Of justice, endeavoring to give
square deals to the principals of his
cases, often finds it necessary to de-
eide contrary to the interests Of his
friends. thereby mourning their dis
like. or II they are strangers, places
him in the light of protecting his
friends.
Justice Jordan is pardonably proud
of the record that he has never had
a decision reversed in a higher court
Because of the resignation of Jus
tice Jordan, the marriage license ques-
tion will now, in all probability be
dropped The justice has long been
one of the most interested contenders
in the fight to bring back the mill to
this city. He has thoroughly believed
that he was justified in attempting to
relieve Crown Point of the glory which
they took away from the city, and hac
he received proper support in his en-
deavor, would have taken the matter
into court. Hammond attorney was
engaged to push the case, but 1t Is
thought now that the matter will be
dropped. Justice Jordan still believes
however, that the county seat is ir
possession OF the mill unjustly.

According to the statements the
First National bank deposits are two
per cent above the corresponding month
last year, thus leaving the average at
100 per cent. In the opinion Of the

best criterion Of the situation so far
