place in the home, society or in the
field of letters than at Cumnock.
The girls at Cumnock school seem to
be of one large family of sisters, who
have no time for petty jealousies nor
cliques There is no "usrface work"
done. Each is busy with what she has
come to learn, and recreation on the
basketball field or in the informal and
thoroughly delightful evening affairs"
keeps the Cumnock girl interested and
interesting. The school spirit is in
fictitious. A strong alumni organization
of over one hundred. by their continu-
ing interest. prove that this Cumnock
girl is ever loyal to her alma maetr.
The summer school this year pre-
sents unequal advantages for the
teacher, the public speaker and the
many who feel the need of inspiration
amid the "cares that rust" A selected
faculty has been retained with Mrs.
Grigg at it's head, while DR.. Richard
Burton the great English lecturer,
will give course of six lectures upon
1.-THE Modern Drama" during the first
fortnight, beginning early in July.

Indiana Senator Wanted by Go
shen Republicans.

1t is very likely that Albert ].
Beveridge, senior United States
senator from Indiana, will deliver
a Republican speech in Goshen
during the coming campaign.
The Republican state central
committees speakers bureau is
at present assigning various
speakers over the state and while
it is not definitely decided upon,
it is almost certain that Senator
Beveridge will be billed FOR Gosh
en-.
Ten years ago, just before he
was elected to the senate, Bever-
idge spoke in Goshen and Cyrus
d. Roys of Elkhart, took issue
with him on the Philippine ques-
ton.
Gov. Hughes of New York is
coming to Indiana for number
of speeches and it is thought that
he will be sent into Elkhari coun-
ty. possibly going to Elkhart.
There is some talk of Vice
President Fairbanks going
through the state in a special
train.

The booth display at the Manu-
facturers' and Merchants Expo
sition to be given at Muesse's

cording tc present prospects Al
ready more than 100 booths have
been reserved by South Bend
merchants and manufacturers,
who are planning to make their
respective exhibits the most at
tractive and the most interesting
on the grounds. Several prospec-
i've exhibitors have engaged the
services of experienced decorat-
ors and designers from Chicago
who will arrive the latter partsoI
next week and begin work at the
Exposition grounds.
South Bend night, Friday, Sep
tember 11;one of the, special night

REPUBLICANS
ORGANIZE CLUB
DIR. LORING AND BRUCE
JOSEPH SELECTED AS
TEMPORARY OFF,
CERS-WILL PER
Feet PLANS
AUG. %.

A number of Republicans
probably fifty or sixty in number,
assembled at headquarters Thurs
day evening for the purpose of or
ganizing Republican club.
Much interest was kvinced by
all present and as temporary Off
GERS, DR.. S. c. Loring was chosen
president and Bruce Joseph Sec
retary.
Saturday, August 29th, at 500
p. m. was set for the time of per-
fecting the organization. 1t is
purposed to enlist every Repub-
lican in the township, or county,
as will be decided later in the
cause. Whether the club will be
named after national or state
candidate, whether it will be
made a county or township or
ganization, will then be determin-
ed upon.
1t has been suggested and will
prbably be carried out, to organ
ize such clubs in each of the ten
townships of the county. The OBJ
jeot will be to perfect the Repub-
lican organization, and further
the interests of Republican cam
didates.

$4,000, 900 TO BE DIVIDED.
Government Commission Hunt
ing Person Entitled to
Money for Lands.

]. f. Tylor, special commits
sioner for the Court of Claims at
Washington, has opened tempor-
airy headquarters on the third
floor of the Indianapolis Federal
building to take testimony in re-
gard to the claims of those who
assert a right to share in large
appropriation of money for the
Cherokee Indians in considera-
ton of certain lands that had
been taken over by the Govern
ment a number of years ago.
The money amounts TO about
81 900, 900, and it is believed that
there are in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 claimants in the United
States, and in the neighborhood
of 200 men, women and children
in Indiana. Mr.. Tylor is accom-
panied by Miss Elizabeth Smith,
an expert stenographer, from
Washington. From Indianapolis
he will go to Missouri and then
to Texas and New Mexico. A
number of commissioners are en-
gagged in similar work in various
parts of the country.

State Fair Races.

State Fair patrons this year
will have an opportunity to see
the results of a steam roller, not
the roller which was used by Mr.
Taft at Chicago or by Mr.. Bryan
ut Denver, but a real steam roller
which was used in making the
race course at the Fair Grounds
one of the best in the country.
From September z. the open
ng day of the Fair this year, un-
I'll the closing day. there will be
plenty of racing, and those who
like to see blooded horses in con.
tests for honor will have ample
opportunity. The purses in this
one department amount to $21.-
900, and this sum is believed tc
be sufficient TO attract the best

DON'T TAKE WOMAN AT
HER WORD" SAYS JUDGE
Goshenite Arrested and Fined
for Leaving Spouse Who
Told Him, There is the
Door"

John Gettz, arrested at Auburn
and brought to Goshen on a
charge of deserting his wife, Mar
tha Gettz, was found guilty in
Justice S. S. VIII slers court and
paid SO fine and costs. John, as
a plea for defense, said that his
wife told him, There is the
door," The court, however, ruled
that a woman must not always be
taken at her word. The woman
testified that she had little sleep
for three nights. 1t appears that
the story that John was scratch
ing her was without foundation.
Mrs. Gettz said that he kicked
like a chicken only.
Gettz recently cashed a',$1 900
mortgage in Auburn and also
drew all of his money out of the
bank.

LAKE MAXIM
KUCKEE IN 1873.
First Indianapolis Visitors Ap-
preciated it's Value as Sum-
mer Resort.

Like Maxinkuckee is now the
Saratoga of Indiana, but some
persons now living can remem-
be- when there were not more
than two farmhouses on the bor-
dcrs cf the lake. In 1878 theI "
were two fishing parties from
this city at the lake. One of these
was composed of Gen. G. F. Nc
Ginnis, John H. Holiday, Col.
n. r. Ruckle, Harry Adams.
John d. Nicholas and Charles Nj.
Walker. The other party includ-
ed Gen. John Coburn, Henry ID.
Coburn, Jeremiah Wilson and
Robert l.. McOuat. AT that time
the lake was reached by an over
land wagon drive from Argos, ami
of the two farm houses on its
shores one was owned by Peter
Spangler and the other by Mr..
Peoples. The lake was full of
fish.
The members of the second
party above named were so inn
pressed by the beauties OF the
lake that they talked of establish
ing a summer resort there, and
they tentatively bargained with
Mr.. Peoples for his farm of forty,
ty-five acres at $40 an acre. Just
then, however, the panic of 1873
came on, started by the failure of
Jay Cooke & Co. on Septembe,
%, and the matter was stopped.
Subsequently, it was taken up by
John L. Vanjen, Mr.. Ouat and
one or two others, and the Pee
pies farm was bought at the price
named. Since then single lots
have been sold at almost the cost
of the whole farm.-Tndianapolis

WOMAN SAVES TOWN.
Society Lady Assumes Role of a
Fireman-Hauls Fire En-
CINE Behind Auto.

How the quick wit of a Crown
Point society woman and her big
60-horse-power automobile saved
the little town of Sheerville. Ind.
from destruction by FIRE will &c
down in the annals of the village
as its most thrilling event.
An immense hay barn, located
in the center of the village
caught fire. There was no FIRE
apparatus in the town. A bucket
brigade was established by the
citizens, but availed little agains,
the greedy flames. The entire vii
lage was threatened. Fire brands
were scattered by the wind an1
several dwellings caught fire.
Word was telephoned to the
Crown Point fire department ask
ing for help. The fremen held a
consultation but gave it up in de-
spair. by the time they drove the
intervening eight miles with their
horses the town would probably
be doomed. The news spread
about the city.
Mrs. M. Hart, prominent
woman of Crown Point, heard ot
the predicament. Quickly she
ordered her big auto car and
drove to the fire department
building.
The big hand pump, weighing
two tons, was hitched on behind
it. Into the machine crawled the
6remen. With Mrs Hart at the
wheel the trip to Sheerville was
made in record-breaking time
When the hremen arrived the cit
izens of the village had given uT
all hope. The big pump was pu
into operation and after a hare
fight, the blaze was got under
control.
The firemen we're rendered ar
ovation by the inhabitants o
Sheerville. On every hand i:
heard the praises OF the woman
who the villagers assert, saveC
the village.
