BECAME EXCITED. Man- at Alexandria Shot at Sister I and Her Lover. Edward Woodruff, of Alexandria, came near killing his sister-in-law and her beau Saturday night. About 11:30 he was awakened by, his wife who thought burglars were in the house. Woodruff reached for his revolver and shot at the door, the direction from which the noise came.

The screams of a woman from the outside, following the shot, apprized Woodruff that it was his sister-in-law, Lillian Woodruff, who lives with them, and who, with her beau, William Zion, had come to the door belated and sought entrance. Woodruff was as badly frightened as the young folks. The ball, a .38 calibre, passed through the door and between the young people, barely missing them. Hasty explanation set the matter straight.

Judge Handed One to John Dickson for Abusing Wife. John Dickson, charged with assault and battery on his wife, was on trial before Judge W. G.

Zerface and received but little sympathy. The evidence went to show that he had acted in an unseemly manner and the court assessed a fine of $25 and costs. Judge Zerface's attitude toward wife beaters is well known and in this case, as others, he has made the punishment severe. It is believed that Dickson can stay the fine and escape the condition otherwise to follow. 'A famoue Wisconsin woman once said: "All this poor earth needs is just the art of being kind."

TAXATION For the Next Year Will Be Same. CITY GOUNCIL ACTED The city council held a special meeting on the call of the mayor last night to fix the tax levy for the coming year. The levy must be fixed during the month of September, according to law. The city controller presented the figures, estimated for the running exenses, and they were briefly canvassed and compared by the all of whom are good business men. All of the members of the council were present when the meeting was called to order.

Charles Mahan, the recently elected member took his seat without any formality and was actively interested in the proceedings. The report of the controller was complete and contained every item that a tax payer ought to know. It was so full of figures and information that to publish it would be to require more space than can be devoted to such an item. Taxpayers will be welcome to go over it at their leisure. There were few differences in the amount of expenditures for the coming year.

Some of the funds were eliminated, some largely decreased and others raised slightly, the city school fund being among the latter. It was considered that the tax rate was much lower than the average city and that the citizens would welcome a change of expenditures from other funds to that for school maintenance. The levy remains the This will provide funds for. real city work, and possibly utilize them all. The council' and other authorities believed that this would be better than levying taxes and not expending the money for any real good.

Another action of the council was the allowance of $50 for assistant janitor's hire. James Swatman has always been underpaid in his place as custodian. A MOL The council then adjourned. MINISTERIAL MEETING Of the Separate Baptist Church in West Elwood, September 29.

It is a trip that any one would like to make in this most beautiful season of the year. Calling for Barrels. The report that the apple crop in this part of the state was short was evidently an error. Every grocery man in the city will tell you that he has had a call for vinegar barrels and that all of the empty ones were sold at the usual price of one dollar.

There will be a lot of cider this year and as many gallons as the barrels can be found to hold it. Read the Call Leader. 10c a week. 'The children's friendJayne's Tonic Vermifuge Drives out blood impurities. Makes strong nerves and muscles.

The first parties to come under the attention of the truant officer were Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Van Valkenberg.

Affidavits were made, charging them with having failed to send a young lad the child of Mrs. Van Valkenberg, by a previous marriage, to school.

With him will go Heber, familiarly known as "Doc" Harrold, who will again play center. It was said of the latter that he was the most promising Indiana player developed last year, while Williams was considered a very fast rush. The merits of the Elwood boys must be at once apparent when it is known that they are the only two selected from this state, so far to play in the Ohio league, the old time fast easterners supplying the other places. FARMER WAS GENEROUS. Unusual Story Comes From Howard County This Week.

Everybody is not generous to a person who steals, but such was the case with a Howard county farmer a few nights ago. When he found three men in his oats bin he not only allowed the men to go, but gave each a sack of oats. The hired hand of the man had been out at night and upon returning heard the trio. He immediately awakened his employer and the two caught three men stealing oats. The fellows put up such a pitious plea that the farmer's heart melted.

He agreed not to mention the matter and allowed each to go on his way with a sack of News. ENLISTED IN NAVY. Now the Whereabouts. of Chesterfield Boy Are Unknown. The parents of John T.

Leathers, a Chesterfield young man have engaged Sherman Makepeace, of Anderson, to locate the young man if possible. Leathers is less than 18 years of age and ran away last February and enlisted in the navy. It is not known how he got his enlistment without his parents' consent. They have had some correspondence with the young man and the last heard of him he was on a training ship at Norfolk. That was in May and letters addressed to him and to the navy department since then failed to be answered.

Mr. peace has written letters to the Norfolk navy yard but has not yet had time to receive an answer. New Suits Filed. Superior: CourtIna Smith vs. Harry B.

is well enough to go and see the ponies run, once more, and the British empire rejoices. By counting up their indictments, Stensland and Hering may be able to discover which is the bigger rascal. It is lucky that the Cubans want the United States to arbitrate their quarrel, as the United States was going to do it anyway. In England, it is proposed to make private motor boats auxiliary to the British navy in time of war. Presumably attempts will be made to induce the enemy to ride in them.

When Cashier Hering had the money drawer of the bank right where he could plunge his hand in up to the elbow any time he wanted to, we do not see why he should have wanted to get rich playing his sure thing, against the uncertain races. One of the speakers at the milliners' convention, told the girls to become beautiful by thinking they were beautiful. We have known girls who have tried that without being able to convince their neighbors. We do not understand why they put glucose in the alcohol store licorice along with the lamp black. Glucose costs money.

A New Jersey pastor advises the young ladies in his flock to keep the men guessing. This is the first inttmation that they ever do otherwise. While Mr. Bryan is said to have returned the picture of health, the Democratic party isn't showing any signs of having received it. Mr.

Bryan will probably discover in time, that it is much easier to lead the Democratic mule than it is to stop his kicking. Secretary Shaw began his Missouri campaign suspiciously by capturing Hannibal. The Chicago court decision that government ownership is legal will be depreciated by many Democrats as tending to give Mr. Bryan renewed courage in that direction. "Plump!" That's Roger Sullivan going over the side.

Now then, Col. Bryan, when does Senator Bailey walk the plank? He smells of Standard Oil. Mr. Jerome will never be happy again until he is nominated for something or other, by a convention that will cheer him for, at least, thirtyfive minutes by his alarm clock. No doubt the simplified spelling board is willing to tinker with the English language just as long as Carnegie's leg will stand the strain.

A clergyman who has been conducting a mission in Wall street is to quit. Been converted himself probably. Wonder if Roger Sullivan is any kin to John L. Sullivan? They are both good at jaw work in slugging. A Cleveland health officer, at last, has brought relief to a suffering world by announcing that; after all, there is no danger in kissing.
