MARSHALL COUNTY
VOTES OUT LIQUOR
Election Results in Custer
for Thirteen Saloons by
Majority of 1852.

Plymouth. Ind, March By a ma
jority of 1852, according to complete
unofficial returns. Marshall county has
voted to oust her thirteen saloons and
to remain dry" for a period Of at
least two years.
For a time last evening the result
was in doubt, and the temperance
forces had a shock when it began to
look like their vote was to be reduced
to a very small margin, if not wiped
away entirely. The result was a great
relief when the vote was made known.
Marshall county a few weeks ago
went democratic when campaign was
on to elect representative to the leg
islature. the issue at that time being
the repeal of the option law. Dr.
Wise, the democrat and repeater, car
ried the county, and on the basis of
this it had been predicted by many
that the county would vote against To-
cal option yesterday.

view OF the large number of cases Of
that disease in the district at the pres
ent time. The doctor handled his sub
feet in a masterful manner, which left
no doubts in the minds OF the physi-
clans present of his complete familiari-
ty with this insidious disease. After
DIR. Gilpin had finished. the medical

a sumptuous dinner was partaken of.
No work was undertaken after dinner,

CHARITY BALL TO
Be GREAT SUCCESS
Enthusiastic Ladies Are
Working Hard for the
Big Social Event.
TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE
Affair Will Be Given At the Masonic
Temple April IA and
Promises Well.
TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE

Hardly had the news gone forth in
Hammond that a charity ball would
be given for the benefit of St. Mar
garet's hospital when the brotherhood
of man began to assert itself in the
interest of the cause. The spirit was
contagious and the indications are
that the charity ball will be the crown
ing social event of the season as a re-
suit. Five hundred tickets were run
of the press yesterday and the addi-
tional 500 will be delivered to the as
sociation this evening.
Tickets Going Fast
A number of the ladies on the ticket
committee are already busy selling
tickets, while the other who did not
receive any of the first consignments
were busy calling up their friends in
order to make advance sales. Thus far
the sale has been good and the ladies
are determined to sell every one Of the
1000 tickets that will be put out.
Sixty ladies have been placed on the
various committees, but as this still
leaves a large number who are just
along in the cause 1t was only the
fear that the committees would be-
come too large and unwieldly that
caused the restriction to sixty people.
The tickets sell for a dollar a person,
this being considered reasonable price
in comparison with prices in other
towns where similar events are given.
The charity ball will be given at the
Masonic temple on Wednesday night
April IA.

SUNDAY BASEBALL
MAKES A HOME RUN
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis Ind March 5.-The Sun
day baseball bill will become a law
without the signature of Governor
Marshall. and it will remain law at
least until the courts declare it uncon-
stiutional Governor Marshall made
this decision yesterday evening and
sent a message to the house containing
that information.
The governor declined to either sign
or veto the bill He said he had al
ready vetoed one bill of the kind and
the fact that the legislature had i'm
mediately passed another similar bill
indicated to him that the legislature
would probably pass this bill over his
veto He said he had in a previous
message explained his views on the
question of Sunday baseball. He said
that he was opposed to Sunday games.
but that he did not care to infict his
personal views further on the 1egisla-

MOLDROFSK| DIVORCE
ARGUMENTS HEARD
Judge Y. S. Reiter Not Surprised
That Domestic InfeiCity Resulted
In Consequence of Fare, Fed and
Decision In Novel Divorce Case
Will Be Given Tuesday.

Judge v. S. Reiter has ruled against
the depot sandwich. Now that the
judiciary has come to the rescue OF
long-abused humanity. It may be ex-
pected that the legislative branch of
the state government viii take the hint
and will pass a law making it a mis-
demeanor to offer the public the spliced
biscuits that are usually known as de-
pot sandwiches.
Judge Reiter,s decision was made in
connection with the action for a di-
vorce. which was brought by Constance
Moldrafski against her husband, Jo-
seph Moidrafski of East Chicago. It
was, in substance, as follows:
II hardly think depot sandwiches
the proper fare to offer a bride on a
honeymoon. 1 am not surprised that
domestic infelicity should have result
ed from the attempt of the husband
to force his wife to subsist on such
food. However, I am not certain that the
providing of a menu of depot sand
witches is sufficient csuse for divorce.
I will render a decision in this matter
next Tuesday"
Both Want Divorce.

himself offered to file a suit for a di-
vorce several months ago. but the court
docket was so congested that he was
discouraged from doing so. In the
meantime his wife hired Attorney Boy
Ian OF Chicago and filed a suit of her
own. They both seem to be determined
on a separation.
The story of the depot sandwich hon
eymoon, which appeared in THE TIMES
Thursday. Feb. Is, was one of the
strangest that has yet come from the
local region. as the brides relatives
live in South Chicago. and the husbands
in East Chicago.
Never was a bride subject to such
indignities as Mrs. Joseph Moldraf-
ski. according to her complaint. Be
sides being compelled to subsist or
depot sandwiches while she was ir
Denver on her honeymoon, she war
also compelled to see her husband &c
into a neighboring saloon and cafe
and, after imbibing a cool and refresh.
ing glass of beer. partake of a salts
flying lunch.

cision in this case will be general At

HOW MUCH ARE
HENS EGGS WORTH2
Services of Hens May Have
to Have Value Set on
Them in Suit.
KANKAKEE FLOODS DAMAGE
Peculiar Damage Suit Is Begun Today
In the Lake Superior
Court.

Richard FuIlet ct al of Shelby has
brought suit through his attorney.
Chuyler C. Dwyer OF Lowell. against
the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
railroad TO recover damages for losses
due to the foods on the Kankakee
river, which are alleged to have been
more destructive on account of the
building Of embankments along the
railroad tracks.
Incidentally the ex-representative,
shuyler C. Dwyer, raises a momentous
question. In scheduling Mr. Fuller's
losses. he speaks of damage to houses.
barns, strawberry patch, cherry trees
and apple orchard and then he makes
the following statement:
Loss of poultry ia hens. so cents
each) ......... ...-.....-.....$ $40
Loss of use of hens 5000
The TIMES has called in its poultry
experts and is as yet unable to un-
derstand how NJ. Dwyer arrives at his
estimate of the value OF those hens.
In fact, when the case comes to trial
there may be considerable difficulty on
the part of the attorneys for the rail-
road and for Mr.. Fuller in arriving at
estimate OF Mr.. Fullers loss when
the flood waters of the Kankakee riv-
er carried away the hen coop on that
fateful spring day.
1t is easy to imagine the argument
progressing along these lines. Attor-
ney for the Monon: "Ahem. your honor,
I desire to take exception to the claim
Of the worthy ex-representative. A
dead hen is a dead hen and is worth
m or ha oRF
in the open market, namely so cents
To demand damages for the use Of q
hen is to ask for speculative damages
Of which we understand you disap-
prove"
On the other hand S. c. Dwyer is like
iy to come back with an argument
something like this: Your honor, it is
a fact that there are hens and hens
Some hens are active. They get out
and scratch the garden and line the
nests with eggs. There is all of the
difference in the world between a good
hen and a bad one. I have evidence tc
show that these were good hens. That
if they had not been drowned in the
food, they would have enriched the
owner to the extent OF at least $50
Figure II out. Fourteen hens laying
an average of an egg a day for SIX
months year. This would make 2.52t
eggs, which at the average market
price Of 21z cents each. would amount
to sss
The damage to the property was con-
siderable. and Mr.. Fuller and his attor.
ney hold the Monon responsible for the
reason that they allege the railroad
has built embankments which at times
OF high water obstruct the natural ant
proscriptive water course of said rive
and caused it to cover large amoun
of area.

Tony Taper is going to build. This

The prospective tenants are dictat-

that after Mr.. Taper finishes his
building, and it is occupied by the ten

will begin to appreciate the fact that
they will have to get busy and make
improvements or take the left over ten
ants.
The owners Of property say that
this is never a desirable class. There
is no permanency to their occupancy
of the building and they do not pay
their rent as promptly as the tenants
in the more up-to-date buildings
The new Taper building will be oc-
