BECK WILL MAKE
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
Hopes to Be the Next Indiana
Rhodes Scholarship
Man.
MAY MEET DIFFICULTY.
THERE is DESIRE TO PASS PLUM
AROUND AMONG INDIANA COL
LEGES AND EARLHAM HAS HAD
ONE EPREsENTATlVE.

Clyde & Beck, a we'll known young
man OF this city. son of Mir. and Mrs
Charles Beck, viii again take the ex-
aminations required of candidates for
Il Cecil Rhodes scholarship. MI Beck
has taken these examinations twice
and in each instance has been success
full The first time he Was not select
ed. because OF the superior athletic
ability of one of his rivals. George f.
Hamilton, also of this city. The sec
und time graduate of Indiana Uni
verSity was given preference over Mr..
Beck. who has been a student at Earl
ham. as had been Hamilton.
Friends of Beck dc not expect him
to meet with any trouble in meeting
the requirements. Al present he is
engaged as an instructor in the high
school al NOblesVille and is affiliated
with the foreign language department.
His educational qualifications are ex-
peCted by his friends to be more than
ample He was a student in the local
public schools and d graduate of the
high school with the class OF 1862. He
is twenty-three years old. Ability in
athletics is given consideration in MAX
ing the selection of scholarship can
didate and Mr.. Beck would be cOmpe-
tent to meet the demands. although
never appearing as a star on the ath-
letiC field.
The desire of the committee having
in charge the distribution of scholar
ships to pass the honor about among
the colleges of the state as much as
/ possible probably will prove detri-
! ment 10 Mr.. Beck. Wabash college will
present a candidate. who has qualified
and inasmuCh as that institution has
not had representation and Earlham
college of which Beck is a graduate
has won the honor. it is believed likely
this will work against the local man.

LAW CREATING
BOARD IS VALID
So Rules Judge Jordan of the
Supreme Court of
Indiana.
DECISION OF INTERES
RULING WAS MADE ON CASE
WHERE PEOPLE TRIED TO Sc
CURE ADOPTED DAUGHTER AFT
Err SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY.

Judge Jordan of the Supreme court
has held valid the law creating the
Board of Children's Guardians. The
decision will be read with interest
throughout the state. The judgment
was given III the case of EgOff vs.. the
Board of Children's Guardians Of Mad
ison county. The board had taken a
little girl away from Mr., and Mrs.
Jack Egoff of Anderson, because of
the bad environment of the EgOff
home and placed her with a Rev. and
Mrs w W. Kent. The Egoffs sought
30 have the child, who was an adopted
daughter, returned to their custody.
Judge Jordan, who wrote the opinion
says:
The constitutiOnality of the law
creating boards of chidrens guardians
IS firmly established by previous de
cisions and in a proceeding in the cir
cult court of a county to take the Gus
tody of child from its reputed par
ents in that county and give it to such
board to which the reputed parents
appeared and resisted the action, the
jurisdiction of the court is not open
to question. A judgment can not be
reviewed on the ground of accident or
surprise, where the record does not
show that the defendant moved for
new trial or to modify the judgment
or took any steps to obtain relief, in
the original action from the effect OF
the alleged accident and surprise, nor
that he reserved any exceptions at or
after the trial. The mistake or mis-
apprehension Of a party and his al
torney as TO his right TO introduce re
buttal evidence at q future time, after
the trial has concluded, and without
obtaining continuance is not a ground
for reviewing a judgment under Sec.
500, Burns 1901. Unless due diligence
is shown to discover and produce all
the evidence at the trial, new matter
discovered after the trial is not
ground for reviewing a Judgment. In
the ewes of the law the welfare of a
child is paramount to the claim Of its
parents or either of them, or any one
else"

Of mind wished to announce to friend
the birth OF her f1rstborn child. She
sent the following telegram: isaiah

For unto us child is born. unto us a
son is given"
The friend. more literal and less
familiar with the prophets. read the
message and said to her husband:
Ma garet has a boy. but why on earth
did she name him Isaiah? He must be
a healthy chap. though, for he weighs
nine pounds and six ounces."-wom-

Quick Wit.

Mr.. Asphalt, a clever and reckless
barrister, famous in the last century
in Victoria for his fun and audacity,
was addressing an election meeting in
Ballarat, the golden city" The lively
adv ocate had come to that time in his
career when much whisky and soda
had wrought paipable havoc with his
complexion. His speech ended, and
questions were invited. "Aspinall,' bel
lowed a stalwart digger. tell US what
makes your face so red" "Blushing at
your COMPOUNDED impudence, sir" was
the quick reply. He carried the meet

If Diophontus of Alexandria, fourth
century of the Christian era. was not
the inventor OF algebra, then it Is not
known 10 whom the honor belongs
To! Diophantus the honor is generally
given. The Arabians claim that the
invention belongs TO one of their coun-
