THE GOLDEN RULE

HUNT DOES NOT LEAD.

The Republican Candidate for Secretary of State Falls Behind lloth Hart and Levi. ,• .§«!!

Special to the Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1C— Returns

from all counties in Indiana show Hunt, Republican candidate for secretary of state, received 16,899 plurality. Hunt did not. lead the ticket but fell behind Hart for auditor, who received 17,081 plurality and 840 majority. Hunt also fell behind Levi for treasurer, who received 10,930 plurality and 432 majority. The vote on congressmen gives the Republicans ten, electing Faris, of the Terre Haute district, by 237 plurality.

MACHINES

Will Probably be Onecl at tlie Next Electlon.

It is more than probable that the people of Indiana will vote by machinery at the election two years hence. Politicians are now discuBBing changes in the election law along lines suggested by Tuesday's election .experiences. The sentiment for machine voting is becoming stronger the more election officers compare notes as to the defective ballots. Many practical politicians say that, as it now stands, the election law is open to many of the abuses that existed before the Australian system was adopted, and that the whole system needs intelligent revision.

The machine system of voting is being advocated by those who have watched its work elsewhere. As an example the result in the city of Rochester, N. Y., a city about the size of Indianapolis, is being discussed. In the election there were 73 voting precincts. A machine was used. The polls closed at 5 o'clock and the first precinct to report did so at 5:00, and the last one reported at 5:37 o'clock. By 7:30 the election returns for the city were tabulated and footed, the result was known and everybody deserted the political headquarters.

Will Pay Out.

The treasurer reports that the state is in good condition and in a fair way to be altogether clear of debt within eight or nine years, at the most. The only thing to be feared, in his opinion, is that it may suffer from outside interference by the legislature. Some of the candidates for legislative offices have publicly stated that they believed the taxes were too heavy and should be reduced, and if some of these legislators attempt to make a record with the people by some sensational effort in this direction, it is possible that a bill might be passed which would reduce if not altogether wipe out the sinking fund tax, under the pretext that it is a burden on the people. In the event of such a course, there is, according to Mr. Scholz, no way of telling how long the state would have to stagger under a debt. One thing he is sure of, and that is that if the taxes are left alone for a few years, the state will be in the novel position of being totally out of debt.

Death of Mri. George M. Lawton. Mrs. George M. Law&n, aged 68 years, died last Tuesday at 1:30 o'clock after an extended illness, at the family home at Yountsville. She leaveB a husband, three sons, and one daughter, Mrs. Wm. Larrick. Mrs. Lawton was born in Devonshire, England, and came to this country with her husband in 1853. The funeral occurred on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at the Yountsville M. E. church, the ser vices being conducted by Rev. W. White. The interment took place at Oak Hill.

IN CHICAGO.

The Body of Jacob Stein Is Not Identified A Murder Theory Is Suggested,

Last Saturday's Chicago"Record Bays: Chicago's ghetto cast its eyes yesterday upon the body of a Jew lying in a rude coffin in a shed at the rear of a little church at Maxwell and Clinton streets, seeking to establish the identity of the man. Hundreds of men and women bent over the casket, but no one recognized the features. 'The body was brought to Chicago yesterday morning from Crawfordsville, Ind,, where it had once boon buried in a pauper's grave. The man was a peddler, and over a week ago his body was found swinging fr.^tn an iron beam of a box car. The chief of police of Crawfordsville asserts that the man committed suicide, but it is the opinion of most of the Jews that the peddler was murdered and then hanged. "When the body was cut down, two mpty pocket books were found and several pockets in his clothes were torn. A peddler's license with the name Jacob Stein, 582 Canal street, was also found, but the Chicago police learned that no such man of that name lived at that number. Last Saturday in all the synagogues the rabbis announced the name of Jacob Steia to their congregations in an endeavor to establish«the man's identity, but no one seemed to know him. Since then, too, all efforts at identification have failed, although even the merchants in the 'Yeddish Medena' along Jefferson street, closed up and joined the unending throng to view the remains. "The body will lie in the shed until to-morrow, and if the dead man is not identified by that time he will be buried under the Jewish rites in Waldheim cemetery."

Price-Thomson.

Oakland, (Cal.,) Tribune: A very pretty home wedding took place Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Price,. 1709 Nineteenth avenue, when their daughter, De Ette, was joined in marriage to the Rev. Herbert Thomson, of Crawfordsville, Indiana. It was a green and white wedding, and the rooms were beautifully decorated with garlands of smilax, ferns, and huge bunches of white chrysanthemums. The impressive ceremony took place in the library and was witnessed only by relatives and near friends of the young couple. The room was decorated with festoons of feathery acacia and pepper tied with large bows of white ribbou, palms, ferns and other tropical plants. The bridal bower was of emilax and from the center was suspended by long, white ribbons a beautiful wedding bell of white chrysanthemums. The wedding procession was formed upstairs and as it slowly descended the Btaircase Mns Eugene Loy sang very effectively, "O Promise Me." Harvey Loy played the wedding chorus from Lohengrin as the bridal party entered the parlors. It was an extremely pretty picture. The groom and the best man, the Rev. H. H. rase field, led and wore ^followed by Miss Mary Elizabeth Francis,, the maid of nonor, and last of all, came the beautiful bride leaning on the arm of her father. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. Goodenough of this city. The bride looked lovely in a gown of white mous3eline de soie over taffeta silk and trimmed with seed pearls. She wore a veil which was caught up with orange blossoms and held in place by a handsome clasp of pearlB, the gift of the groom. She carried a shower boquet of white roses. Miss Francis, the maid of honor, wore a pretty gown of white organdie trimmed with lavender ribbons. She carried violets, the favorite flower of the bride. After the ceremony there were congratulations and many good wishes, and then all adjourned to the dining room where a dainty wedding supper was served. The bride's table looked very artistic with its decorations of La France roses and maiden hair ferns.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomson have gone east on a wedding trip and will visit the childhood home of the groom.

Miss Lorena Gibson caught the bride'B boquet. Many beautiful giftB were received. Friends will be extremely sorry to hear that the new home of the young couple is to be in the north where the groom has recently been called. They have taken with them the hearty good wishes of a host of friends in this city. The couple will be located at Wilbeur, Washington.

Taken In.

It is almost invariably the people who are not habitual advertisers who are induced to part with their money on Buch worthless advertising schemes as folders, clocks, hotel registers, hotel desks, railroad time-tables, and a host of other devices that might be mentioned. Money so spent might almost as well be thrown into the lake. Even if it costs a dollar, it is that much money thrown away.—Printers' Ink

Wednesday at 9 o'clock a. m. at St. Bernard's Catholic church occurred the marriage of Mr. George Shull and MISB I Sophia Freco The ceremony was performed by the Rev, Father Dempsey.

A Oneitlon of Datitx.

To tho Editor The Journal. WINGATK, Nov. 14, 1898.—In Governor Mount's proclamation setting aside Oct. 28, 1898, as "arbor and bird day" in Indiana he closes with the following language: "Doneat the capitol in the city of Indianapolis this 6th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninetyeight the eighty-second year of the Btate of Indiana, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-second." Now congress passed the enabling act by which Indiana was permitted to form a state constitution, April lit, 1810. By a convention which was in session from June 10 to June 29, 1810, a constitution was formed. This constitution was not ratified by the people, but went into effect at once. Then was not the governor's proclamation in the eighty-third year of the state? And since we reckon the independence of United States from July 4, 1776, was not July 0, 1S98, in the one hundred and twenty-third year of the independence of the United States? For the enlightenment of myselfjand other readers please answer through your paper and oblige.

Yours respectfully, Eric. E. VANSCOYOC.

111 is common when speaking of the age of a parson or an institution to reckon the uncompleted year. Thus after John's twelfth birthday he is said to be in his thirteenth year until his thirteenth birthday is reached, when he begins his fourteenth year. We speak commonly so and correctly, too, and according to common usage and arithmetic this is the eighty-third year of Indiana's statehood and the one hundred and twenty-third year of American independence.—ED

Where a Alan May be Drunk. A man may lawfully get drunk at a social party, at home or at any place which is not public. Holding a dance at a private residence does not make it a public p\ace. Even though a stand is established in the door yard for the 9ale of ice cream and candy to the dancers, and persons who hear of the "party" attend, and are entertained as well aB those who are invited, the place is still not public. And if a man get drunk at the dance he is not guilty of being found in a state of intoxication in a public place. The appellate court so held in the case of tho state against Sauford Tincher, appealed from Sullivan county. Tincher was arrested for being drunk at an ice cream Bocial and dance at a farm house in that county. The circuit court discharged him, and the supreme court affirmed the case.

A Graceful Acknowledgment* To the Editor of the Journal. LADOGA, Ind., iNov. «14, 1898,—Will you please say through the columnB of THE JOURNAL that I wish to thus pub licly extend my thanks to my more than four thousand friends who have honored me withutheir ballotB. I feel it a great honori to have led my ticket in the county, except as to prosecutor (and, of course, no one would think of running with Billy Reeves.) I have probably done iless^campaigning than any candidate on the ticket, and feel especially complimented by my vote in my own township, where I have lived for near a third of a century. I shall try to work and vote for only such measures as in my opinion will conserve the best interests of our county and state, and will always be glad to have suggestions or advice from any voter in the county. ..T ALEX M. SCOTT.

Tlie.Judgea,

The terms of Judges Hackney, Howard and McCabe as judges of',the supreme court will not expireiuntil the first of January. The judgesjof ^the appellate court, having been re-elected, will continue in office untilJJanuary 1,1901, but they expect to be re-sworn as judges of that court as soon as they receive commissions based on the result of the election. After the new year, all the judges of-both the higher courtB will be Republicans.

SHUT THEM OFF-

Popular Demand That the Court House, Poor Farm, Klectric IdRlit Plant and Other Public Hulldingg Be Cut

OHT From the Gas Supply.

The scarcity of natural gas continuing there has been little or no cessation to the complaints of the patrons regarding the poor service. People not supplied with wood and coal are actually suffering and anything which gives promise of alleviation is hailed with delight. Wednesday t'nero was a popular demand that all the public buildings and all factories now supplied with gas bo cut off and the fuel be turned to the use of the residence owners. A citizen of the place who is conversant with the situation stated to TIIK JOUKNAI on Wednesday that the supply for use in the residences could easily be increased one fourth by cutting off the public buildings where the gas is now in use. He suggested that the court house, the jail, the poor farm, tho public school buildings, the electric light plant, the pressed brick factory, the Y. M. C. A., the college, and pet haps a few other places be cut orf and obliged to resort to the use of coal—a change for which all of them are prepared. The electric light plant uses as much gas as 150 residents and by using coal there and in the school buildings the city would be saved over a thousand dollars a year. The county by doing away with gas and resuming the use of coal at the court house, jail, and poor farm, would save nearly as much. All these places have already men employed or can employ them for the handling of the coal. Anyhow, matters have reached an extremity and it is only right that if some consumers have to be cut off that the public buildings, which are better adapted for the change and which are the heaviest consumers, be the firBt restricted. If the supply can be in this way increased one-fourth here in town, let it ba done by all means. We can even do without electric lights if necessary, and possibly we can come to endure the sight of some of the manly and aristocratic inmates of the poor house engaged in the degrading work of shoveling coal. The court house folks can hibernate on hot bricks and the beautifully oiled floors of the Bchool buildings can be everlastingly soiled by coal dust, and soot can darken the silver locks of

Superintendent Kenaston—anything, any old thing! just

BO

we get gas for

the residences. The people of this city live In houses and that is where they want the gas.

The city council and the county commissioners should meet at once and take action in regard to this matter. The frigid time 1B drawing near, and if anything is to be done it must be done at once.

Funeral of Mrs. James Connelly. The funeral of Mrs. Jas. Connelly occurred Monday at New Market and was attended by a large concourse of people. Hundreds of people were present at the service and followed the body to its last resting place. The Vandalia employes in thiB county sent a number of magnificent floral offerings and all of them attended the funeral. Mr. Connelly is desirous of extending his heartfelt thanks to his many friends who have Btood by him so loyally in his great affliction.

Will Go In To-day.

Wm. M. Reeves will take bis seat &B prosecutor to-day. He will not have a deputy but will conduct the business of the office himself, calling in help when he needs it as his predecessors in the office have done.

Oh, the Pain of Rheumatism!

Rheumatism often causes the most intense Buffering. Many have for years vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and Swift's Specific is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which can reach Buch deep-seated diseases.

A few years ago I was taken with Inflammatory Rheumatism, which became so Intense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried several prominent physicians and took their treatment faithfully, but was unable to get the slightest relief. In fact, my con. dltlon seemed to grow worse, the disease spread over my entire body, and from November to March 1 suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. on he a of a friend I decided to try 8. S. S. Before allowing me to take it, bowever, my guardian, who was chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free of potash or mercaty. I felt so much better after taking two bottles, that I continued the remedy, and in two months I was cured completely. Xh« cure was permanent, for I have never since had a touch of Klieumatisin though many times exposed to damp and cold weather.
