Marion Resident Leaves Wife and Baby in Turbulent Indiana
Indiana column reports Floyd Turner, an oil operator, deserting his wife Tazet Perry Turner in Merion, leaving a newborn baby and funds gone. A warrant is issued for wife desertion as the Calumet Canal bill appears dead for the next session. In Wabash two deaths occur within hours as William Hopkins is killed at work and Miss Geo Overly, 23, commits suicide by leaping before a western train. The state shows 13 percent divorce rate, and other incidents span Italy to Lingerstown, including a murder case verdict in Indianapolis and local turmoil over labor and new industry openings.

A Boer in South Africa swore not to cut his hair until British rule ended. Captured months ago, his hair drew British surprise. Some say he may break the vow now the war ends, others insist the oath remains sacred as observed by Boers. A separate note from Bridgeport, Washington, promotes Dodds Kidney Pills as a cure for rheumatism and kidney trouble with a testimonial from John Higgins.
