AN EXCELLENT LECTURE.
University Extension Course Be-
gins Series With CONSTANT
nople.

The city of Constantinople,
with its history, its scenes, the
time of its supremacy, its blund-
erS and barbarisms was the sub
ject of the first OF series of six
lectures, to be delivered in this
city, by Prof. Jerome Hall of Chi
cago, Friday evening. Only a fair
sized crowd greeted the able lee
turer, at the Webstr school build
ing. With an excess OF beautiful
scenes, the city and its mixture OF
inhabitants was most ably de-
scribed. An excellent idea of this,
once the most powerful city in the
world, and now most obscure in
learning was to be had by listen
ing to the lecture of Prof. Hall.
On every other Friday night,
beginning with last Friday night,
lecture will be given on the
cities of St. Petersburg, Vienna,
Berlin, Paris and London, re-
spectively, making in all six lee
lures. Prof. Hall proved himself
to be most capable, and will no
doiibt be greeted with larger
crowd on Friday Oct. 16, when
the next lecture will be delivered.
The school management will
endeavOr to secure a situation
more centrally located for the re-
naming lectures.

Supported by 200 rooters from
their home town, the Argos Grays
gave up their last pretenses to
county championship Sunday,
when they were defeated on the
local diamond, by the shutout
score of 4 to 0.
The game early resolved tself
into a pitchers battle, with Pat
Linsley, pitching for Plymouth,
holding the easy advantage over
Middleton. The Argos boy how
ever threw an excellent game, and
also showed up the best batter
on the Argos team. The fact that
a toal of % srikeouts was secured,
shows what part of the game the
respective pitchers played. Lins,
ley famed II, while Middleton
struck out II. Five hits were
landed by the Plymouth boys,
against two scraggy hits secured
by the Grays. The four runs that
were scored by Plymouth were
made, two in the fifth and two in
the seventh innings. The inheld
lost the game for the visitors,
with six errors. Only two score
less errors were made by the Clip
perS. Blosser did his usual work
at the bat. landing a three base
hit in the seventh, thereby scoring
a man. The lineups were as fol-
lows:

The new theatre presents q

SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
INDIANA is COMMENTED UPON

In a letter just forwarded to
Thomas F. Kane, of Seattle, pres
dent of the University of Wash
ington, Fassett A. Cotton, who
has held the office of State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
in Indiana for almost six years,
offers some interesting comments
IN the school system of this State.
Under the heading of Unit OF
the School System" Mr.. Cotton
says:
The unit Of the sytem in In
diana is the township, in which
one trustee, elected by the people,
is held responsible for all school
work. 1t may be proper to say
here that the chief adverse criti-
cisms to this arrangement have
been three: 0) Too great power
is placed in the hands of one man
with no check on the expenditure
of funds; (2), no educational
qualifications for this official; (3),
incongruity of the tfiple duty
placed on the officer, namely, look
ing after the paupers, the roads
and ditches and the schools.
"The first defect has lately been
remedied by law by the provisions
of an advisory board of three
members to check up the trustees
accounts, pass on bills, etc. The
second is being greatly eliminated
'by the people, who attach great

Marriage of Former Plymouth
Girl.

News has just leaked out of the
recent secret marriage of Miss
Mabel Thompson,a comely young
lady of Argos. Ind, who for some
time past has been a waitress at
the Teegarden hotel, and Fin
Young, wellknown young man,
who holds a responsible position
'at the plant of Buckingham Bros.
Co. The couple went to Chicago

were married in that city, return
ing afterward but intending to
keep the matter quiet for time.
However, some of the inquiSitive
friends got wise and at the Buck

given shower of rice and old
shoes. The young couple have

NEW STANDARD VEHICLE
Studebaker Automobile Company
to Introduce New Types of
Auto Buggies and Surveys.

A new sensation is promised by
the Studebaker Automobile Co.
when they place upon the market
an automobile buggy and a four
passenger surrey. Contrary to the
general run of automobile buggies
this new motor follows along the
line of common motor car. 1t
will be equipped with solid tires,
shaft drive, magnetic, wheel steer,
force feed oiler, and air-cooled
motor.
Both buggies and sureys will
have tops, storm fronts and storm
curtains. The company believes
that the new types of machines
will supplant any light runabout
car heretofore used IN rural dis
tricts where the roads are in poor
condition that caused annoyance
on account of its low road clear
ance OF pneumatic tires. 1t is
thought also that these new types
of machines will establish a new
standard in vehicles for city and
rural districts.

GERMAN CHURCH
HAS MINISTER
REV. CARL FRITSCH OF
SHARPSBURG, PA.,WILL
TAKE CHARGE OF
THE LUTHERAN
CHURCH IN
THIS CITY.

Rev. Carl Fritsch and family
arrived in this city Friday evening
from Sharpsburg, Pa, and he
will take charge of the German
Evangelical church in this city.
The Lutheran church has been
without minister since last
April, when the last minister,
Rev. G. Mahlberg, left. Since
that time the trustees of the
church, F. H. Kuhn, John Kuhn,
Morris Selknan, Geo. Saeger,
and Otto Weber, have been max
ing efforts to secure a minister.
The synod recommended Rev.
Frltsch, who desired a change in
pastorship, and having had
charge of a country congregation,
wished to move to cfty where
educational advantages might be
had for his children. Rev. Fritsch
is 45 years of age, has a wife and
lhree clildren,t the Oldest of whom
is Is years. The new minister
held his first services Sunday
morning. The services were
held in German in the morning
and English in the evening. The
new minister comes highly
recommended from his recem
congregation, which did all in its
power to retain him.
Since the donation of the $4,000
mortgage against the church, by
the will of the late Mrs. King
hammer, the German church is
entirely out of debt. The church
is in frstclass repair, and the par
sonage has been recently repaint-
ed, and remodeled throughout.
At present the German congrega-
ton comprises 80 families.

DIVORCE IS
ON INCREASE
THIRTY-SEVEN SUITS Fill
ED IN MARSHALL COUN-
TY SINCE JAN. lis
OVER 25 PER
CENT. OF MAR
RIAGES.

The divorce evil in Marshall
county, is steadily on the increase
and is becoming a menace in its
proportions. Since January lst OF
this year, thirty-seven discomfort
ed men and women in this county
have applied for legal separation
from those whom they have
sworn to always love, honor and
obey.
The fact that for the entire year
OF 1907, only 3S divorce cases
were filed, shows that the evil is
on the increase. In the same per-
iod of time for last year, the total
number of divorce cases filed was
80.
The proportion of divorce cases
to the number of marriages in the
county from January 1st, to the
present time, is the high figure of
70 per cent. In other words if
these figures are maintained, then
out OF every four marriages in
Marshall county ,one is an unhap-
py one. The total number of mar
riage licenses isued since January
1, is 140. Divorce cases, also con-
stitute exactly twenty-five per
cent of all cases criminal and civil.
filed in the Marshall circuit court.
Since an. 1, the total number of
cases filed were 148, of which 13O
were civil, and Is criminal, out
of these the 81 divorce cases then
form 25 per cent. of total number
filed.
While divorce for this year
shows an increase over last year,
so does the number of marriage
licenses issued show decrease.
From January l to Oct. 8, 1908,
40 licenses to marry were issued.
In the corresponding period in
1907, there were 151. Where the
present rate of unsuccessful mar
riages is 26 per cent. in the cor
responding time of last year it
was as low as Is per cent.
This increase is true in spite Of
the active crusade being fought
against the divorce evil, by the
combined efforts of every minis
ter in the city, who refuse abso-
lutely to marry any divorced per-
son.
The fact that of every four mar
riages, one should result in a di-
vorce suit, seems almost impos-
sible, but the ratio is a fact never
theless.

Thursday outlined the plans of
the league in regard to the en-
forcement OF the county local OPP
ton law, as far as determined.
Our first move" said he, will
be to petition for elections in a
number of counties simultane-
ously. The purpose of bringing a
number of elections at the same
time is to make it difficult, if not
impossible. for the brewery and
saloon interests to colonize voters
and carry the elections by tricky
methods, such as might be posi-
bic If they were able to concen-
trate their efforts in single

count of the schools. Forty per
cent. of the present trustees in In

of school teachers. Forty per cent
more are the very best business
men in the several townships
men capable of considering in an
intelligent way the importance OF
good schools and who are helping
