STOLE LADDER FROulQRCHARD Excitement Is running high In Prairie township, over in Tipton coun ty, because of the burning of the Edwards schoolnouse during the early part of the week. At first It was thought that the building had pos sibly been fired by tramps who had sought shelter in there over night, but a further investigation left no room to doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary and the guilty person will be prosecuted to the extent of the law if he can be found. The building had only been In use a few years.

The investigation thtas far has shown that the person or persons responsible for the fire, took a ladder from the orchard of John Edwards, near the school house and placed it against the side of the building. Two bottles which contained coal oil were found near, showing that the fire had been kindled and the design to destroy the building well arranged. The building was destroyed, together with the furniture, maps, library, and all of the books of the pupils. There were about 40 pupils enrolled in the school and the trustee" will do the best he can dividing them in the Corn Hill, Jimtown, White's and Card-well schools for this term, it being impracticable to attempt to replace the building this year. Criticised Teacher.

Mr. Legarde the trustee, says that there has been some complaint, which he thinks was altogether, unjust, against Richard Lee, the teacher of the school, and patrons had visited lhe trusted to remonstrate against him. No trustee distrusts his teacher and no attention was given to the complaints. Young Lee was teaching his first term in this, school, although he had previously given good service elsewhere. The ground upon which he school was located was given by the father of Asa Crail for school purposes and to revert to the estate when abandoned for that use and Mr.

Crail Is of the opinion that it will no longer be, occupied byfc school house and will ask that it be given back to him. The fire has been the topic of con-' versation in Prairie township this week to the exclusion of all other subjects and there is speculation as to the persons who caused the destruction of the building.

THINK PEACE NOW ASSURED Following the fining of three Syrians in police court on assault and buttery charges a lew days ago, when a warning was given that the next. trouble in the colony would rPsult in eveiyone in anyway connected with the rioting being prosecuted and sent to prison or to the penal farm, peace is said to have again been declared in the Syrian colony and it is thought that the feud responsible for the recent fighting and shooting has been placed so far In the background that it will not be revived again. Divided on Religion.

The recent troubles among the Syrians has brought out at least one fart that will prove a surprise to the majority of Elwood people. This is that there are two factions among the Syrians, the division being along rell-I gions lines and while It is not often that the difference in faith is the' cause of serious trouble, yet the lines between the two factions are so plain ly drawn that the two classes never mingle and are as much divided as though they spoke different languages. The one faction are known as Mohammedans and the others are Christians, (they believing in the Christ as do the people of this country. With one ex- i oeptloa, "kit those up In the fighting and shooting on South street Saturday nighty and Sunday were Mohammendans, Peace Doye Flew Away. According to the explanation of tho trouble given by Charles Masalem, a christian Syrian who acted as interpreter during the trial a few days ago, the feud between two factions among the' Mdhammaden Syrians reached a climax in the fight of last Saturday night, and following this it was decided that the two factions should meet at the home of a mutual friend and there declare peace, a custom that is frequent among the Syrians.

The meeting was held as planned but before they could begin to talk peace two of the men got into a fight pnd this put the negotiations at an end. So far las the shooting is concerned, there is no doubt but that a bullet was fired through the window at the home of Abraham Accid, the bullet being later found lodged in a pillow in the bed where Accid slept, but it has not yet been established who fired the shot and the general belief is that the man accused of shooting and who is now out on bond, Is refally innocent as he claims. Some assert that that Accid himself did the shooting in order to discredit his enemies and whatever the facts may be it is not likely that the court will look much farther Into them so long as the parties concerned stand by their promise to keep trouble there in the future. Not on the Job. A statement publish this morning in a county paper with a small local circulation to the effect that Oscar Austill had been secured to conduct the campaign for the Drys in the coming temperance fight here, is denied by Mr.

Every Pastor is Looking for a Great Day Tomorrow. inin Topiorrow promises to be another great day in the church history of Elwood and in every church the pas tors and people are preparing to wel come scores of new converts who will be taken into membership and church fellowship during the day. It is the hope of the christian people that every man, woman and child who made a start during the Stephens campaign will attend services in some church tomorrow and if they are' not already members, they should lose no more' time in becoming affiliated with some religious institution and securing a church home for themselves.

The regular program of services which was disorganized 1n all the churches during the six weeks campaign just ended, will be resumed to morrow but in all the churches both the morning and evening 'meetings will be of an evangelistic nature, Special announcements concerning the services will be found on another page of this issue.

Baldwin -who was once famous as a race horse man, fcas to have been here last Sunday but was detained in Chicago by other work.

HFAVY ALIMONY IS GRANTED Thomas Slain did not come come closer than ten years to getting a divorce from his wife, Clara Slain, in the Superior court yesterday. It had been agreed between the parties before the trial of the case was entered into, that Slain was to have the decree in divorce, and pay his wife an allowance of $10 per month for support. But man pro-ooses and a court disposes, or at least It proved to be so in this ease. It developed before Judge Ellis got through with the investigation of the case that the Slains were in court ten years ago, in the effort to undo what was done by the preacher, when as sweethearts they joined hands and promised to love, cherish and obey. Nearly ten years ago, when Judge Greenlee was on the bench in the Superior court, Mrs.

Slain was granted a divorce from her husband. Later he came into court and had that decree Bet aside on the ground that he had not been summoned for the trial or notified that the case was pending against him. Divorce Annulled. On the strength of Slain's statement the divorce was set aside, and another finding made In which a decree was refused to either the husband or wife. Thus matters drifted along until Slain filed his complaint in which he bases his claims for divorce on the old troubles of the couple, which figured (n the former proceeding.

Judge Ellis held that those troubles were adjudicated ten years ago in the trial of the former case, and refused to grant the decree on the evidence submitted. Slain Is an oil well driller. Newkirk Cats Settled. In Circuit court yesterday Mrs. F.
