Block After Week in Court New
Trial to Be Asked For By De-
fendants

The Jury In the celebrated Weiser
case brought in a verdict at 4 IA
Saturday afternoon in favor of DR..
and Mrs. Weiser. The verdict was
In the nature of quieting the title to
the real estate In question.
The jury took the case at 1890,
and considered it for over four
hours. On the first ballot seven
voted for the defendant. one 2
blank and four for Weiser. 1t took
seven ballots before they could come
to an agreement.
The result was a complete sur
prise for the defendants. who
thought they had their case won be-
yond any question. Attorney Stevens
stated this morning that they would
at once ask for a new trial. and If
the judge should deny that, they
would take a new trial as matter
of right. This either side In the
case could do, so the suit is yet far
from ended.
Dr. Weiser and his attorneys
think they have received merited
justice from the jury and are ae-
cordingly pleased Mr.. Kellison's
telling speech at the close is thought
to have been the deciding factor In

elevate the moral and social tone of
the community.
This is being done now in some of
our states that have improved their
roads. Indiana and Ohio have each
improved about one-third of their
roads, and in these states the schools
are being consolidated. The small
sehoolhouse of one room Is being re-
placed by a central sehoolhouse OF
half dozen rooms and as many
teachers Wagons are sent out ev-
cry morning to gather the children
up and take them TO school and TO
take them home every evening. All
the children within a radius of sew
eral miles are thus taken to one
school. 1t IS found To cost less pro-
portionatelv to build and equip one
large central schoolhouse than It
does to build and eeEip several
smaller ones. Libraries and reading
rooms are provided for these
schools. lecture courses are easily ar
ranged. and the children being
brought together in such large num-
bers are properly graded; class spir-
it is ensendered. and greater pride
and love for the school room fos-
tered.

Special to the Republican:
The fifth annual convention of the
Indiana Federation OF Clubs will
meet in Indianapolis. October oath,
2s'- 4Rd pc is.ss So :. >1ssss..:
The announcement is of deep In
terest to the 10000 women of the
$50 clubs which comprise it, for it
is in these yearly gatherings of live
energetic co-workers that they gain
new ideas for the coming year, and
the inspiration to carry them out.
The woman s club was in the out
set, the chosen theme of the would
be humorist. The funny paragraph
in regard to the husband whose
clothes were ragged and buttonless,
who came at the close of hard day
to a dreary, supperless home, or
who was left at home to care. for
the baby while his wife attended
lectures on Greek Art. or read
papers on Ibsen, is too well known
to receive more than passing notice.
Some of the club work of the past
has doubtless been illadvised. Many
of the papers which required weeks
of encyclopaedia research from busy
middle-aged house keepers might
well have remained snwritten, but
like all other movements that have
brought mankind forward. it has
been an elolution. This desire for
self-betterment. for a broader kn0wl
edge. on the part of women who had
been denied the benefits of higher
education, was necessary as be-
ginning, though. as wider oppor-
tunities were opened fer women the
purely literary club was destined to
become less. rather than more of a
factor in the life of our country.
But mental culture was only one
phase of the development of the
club idea. Training in parliament
tary procedure, and the conduct of
business. and most of all, the broad
er outlook upon life that came as
the result Of the mingling on CON-
mon ground. of the intelligent,
thoughtful women Of a community.
have gradually wrought a vital
change in the character of women s
club work
Self-iniyrovement was the key
note of the early club; the improve
ment Of others is the mission Of the
club of today; and to accomplish
these results, organization is neces-
sary-organization of the various
clubs of a city, state and national
organization.
! The Indiana Federation of Clubs
has three departments, and almost
every club takes an active part in
one or the other of them.
| The Department of Conservation
has for its work: Civics. Civil Ser
vice, Conservation of Natural Re-
sources, Health, Household Econ
omics, Food Sanitation, and Indus
trial and Social Conditions.
