ASKS FOR HER SUPPORT

Citing the statutory grounds of hab-
itual drunkenness and lack Of main
tenance, Mrs. Helena Schuski of Roby
today filed a petition for divorce in the
superior court.
In the petition she states that her
husband is the owner of $4,000 worth
of real estate, and that his income in
rents alone amounts to $1,000 an
nually. She further claims that he
holds in his name $4,000 worth of her
property and accordingly asks for a
divorce with $500 annual alimony, and
that he pay her attorneys fees and the

BAD WRECK CLEARED AWAY
Two Days Work TO Straighten Out De-
| briS in TurntabIe Pit.

One of the most stubborn wrecks
that any railroad has ever had to con-
tend with in Hammond was cleared
away this afternoon when the work
ingmen raised the last piece of iron
out of the turntable pit in the Erie
yards into which a wrecking crane had
fallen last Monday morning.
Since the accident of last Monday
morning, which cost the life of Engin-
eer Anton Heramb, a wrecking crane
has been constantly at work to raise
the wreckage. Four different wreck
ers were called on the job, and one
of these has been working constantly
day and night. For time even two
were employed at the same time.

CLUB PULLS OFF
A FINE STUNT

They Don't Come.

Eulogize Wives.
WILL Be ASSESSED A FLYER

It's great to be a newly-wed.
The members of the University club
of Hammond met at their club-roOms
last evening and made the Anal ar
rangements for the reception to the
which is TO be given next
Tuesday.
To insure the attendance of all of the
young married members of the club
fine of So will be imposed upon all of
the recent victims of Cupid's darts who
fail to put In an appearance.
The secretary was instructed to
write to both the young married men
their wives and inform them that they
are expected to write an appreciation
of their husbands and vice versa.
This is the blow that stings.
These little appreciations must be at
least $50 words and will be read at the
newly -weds' party. The members of
the club think they are very consider
ate in permitting their members and
their wives to write these apprecia-
tions so soon after their weddings.
Later on it might be a very difficult
task
VIII Give Play Shortly.
In addition to making arrangements
for the newly-weds' reception next
Tuesday it was decided to give play
some time in the near future. The
plan is being promoted by DR.. Graham,
and he will have complete charge OF
the arrangements. There was some
talk of having a vaudeville entertain
ment with a little dramatic sketch
thrown in, but many of the members
think 1t would be better to give q
comic opera as there is considerable
musical talent in the club.
This question will be settled after
Thanksgiving. Last evening three new
members were voted into the club. They
are Attorneys H. w. Grove and B. w
Henderson and Charles w. Hejda. Th'
finances of the club were reported to bt
in very good condition.

Osteopathic Lecture.

It is with much satisfaction
we are enabled to announce TO
our friends that we have secur-
ed a rare treat for them in the
form of a lecture on "Osteo-
pathy and It's History" by DR..
VIM. Smith of Kirksville, Mo.
DR.. Smith is a graduate of the
greatest medical school of the
world and a member of some
of the leading scientific societ-
les of the land. He was the
first one to receive the degree
of Doctor Of Osteopathy and
was the first teacher to assist
the founder in establishing the
first and leading College of
Osteopathy at Kirksville a few
years ago.
Having been so closely as
sociated with the founder in
the work at Kirksville when he
is still instructor of anatomy
and obstetrics he can Speak
with authority and is enabled
to deal fairly and intelligently
with the old school of drug
uherapy with which he must
make comparisons of theory,
diagnosis and treatment, where
in we differ and why.
Realizing and appreciating
that our success in Harrison
County (this being our eighth
year here) has been entirely
dependent upon the kind words
of our patients and friends we
will ask them to be our guests
Saturday evening Oct. 3lst at
the opera house that they may
learn more of the science we
represent and that they will
have a better and more intelli-
gent idea of our science. Ad.
mission to the lecture will be by
invitation and we ask our
