It is entirely possible that Harriman told the truth about Roosevelt's anxiety concerning a campaign fund, but all of the truth has clearly not been told yet about Harriman. A thorough investigation of the sources of the Republican boodle fund of 1904 is desirable and so is a deeper digging into the railroad and public land operations of Harriman and his pals. Walter Wellman is off again in his attempt to reach the north pole. To the average man Wellman's zeal in this matter is not understood. It is highly improbable that he will succeed, and he is taking the gravest chances of losing his life. Even should he get a few hundred miles further north than any other explorer, the question is, is it worth while? There may be some people who think so, but the number cannot be very large.—Columbus City Post. For the first time in years the London Times devoted a leading editorial to the outcome of the Chicago election. This is due to the bitter experience London has had in the matter of municipal ownership of public utilities, notably street railways. A bonded indebtedness of over five hundred million dollars has been piled up, and about the only thing London has to show for its mountain-high debt is as dilapidated a street railway system as can be found in any large city of the World. Chicago's inclination to imitate the folly of London is the cause of The Thundeer’s interest in the traction contest of Chicago.—South Bend Times.

It comes from Washington that President Roosevelt’s “ire'' is particularly aroused because Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate in 1904, has quietly remarked "I told you so.” Parker did tell the country so and it was so, though Roosevelt denied it. The insurance revelations and Harriman's revelations all prove that Parker's charge that the big corporations and special interests had contributed an enormous fund to buy the election for Roosevelt was true. Roosevelt does not now deny that the money was given, but he says that he did not ask that it be given. The fact remains, however, that he is enjoying the usufruct. SCHOOL ENUMERATION LAWS Are Very Strict—Sets Out the Requirements. The law governing the school enumeration,now about to be taken, is very strict and sets out minutely the requirements which must be observed in every particular. Following are some features of the law: “In making the enumeration, the trustee, or person so employed, shall distinguish between the white and colored children, enumerating them in separate lists, and shall list the names of parents, guardians, heads of families, or persons having charge of such child or children, male or female, shall list the full name and give the exact age and the sex of each child so enumerated, and shall secure the signature of either parent, guardian, head of family, or person having charge of such child or children, who shall certify to the correctness of the same under oath. “He shall include in such list all unmarried persons between the ages of six and twenty-one years, whose parents, guardians, heads of families or persons having charge of such child or children are actual residents of the corporation. “He shall Include in his list such unmarried persons between six and twenty-one years of age as are dependent upon themselves, and not under charge of parents, guardians or heads of families, and shall so designate such persons in a separate list, giving in cities the street and number of the residence of such persons. “He shall not include in such list any person residing temporarily in his township, town or city for the purpose of attending school, or who are members of a family staying temporarily in his township, town or city, but whose actual residence is elsewhere,’ 1 . 6 — FOR SALE OR RENT—A good blacksmith shop in a small town; only shop in town; good location.

TO TAKE ACTION On Creation of Another New State MEETING PLANNED IN SPOKANE Will Be Held the Middle of Next Month to Hear Report of the Committee. Spokane, Wash., April 12. —Commercial organizations and representative interests of eastern Washington. northern Idaho and northestern Oregon will be invited by L. G. Monroe, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce, to send delegates to a public convention in Spokane the middle of May to take action on the report of a committee committee composed of F. H. Mason, C. Herbert Moore and N. W. Durham to the chamber of commerce and 150,000 club, relative to the creation of a new state. The report reviews the conditions which brought about the present unnatural geographical arrangement, advances reasons for the construction of a new state and suggests the boundary lines. To bring the question before the people of the three states, the committee makes these suggestions: “The 45th degree of latitude, or the present northern line of the state of Wyoming extended, be designated as the northern boundary of the state of Idaho, and the 120th degree of longitude, or eastern boundary of the state of California, carried north until it intersects the 45th degree of latitude, be designated as the western boundary of the state of Idaho, and that the eastern California line carried to British Columbia be designated as the eastern boundary of the state of Washington, thereby leaving a new state to be hereafter named, and from which a central city should be selected as capital, said state comprising the panhandle of Idaho, northeastern Oregon and eastern Washington. This proposition should not come from any town or locality, but should be brought from all the principal towns north of said 45th degree of latitude, and if possible to secure their consent and approbation, then the matter should be taken to tre principal towns and cities south of the said 45th degree of latitude to secure, if possible, their co-operation.” o THESESSION CLOSES (Continued from page 1.) encored, and that was responded by "When Pa was Initiated into the Red Men's Lodge.” Then a few remarks were made by the Great Prophetress, Mrs. Florence Bain, of Decatur, which were followed by a pleasing talk by Mrs. Rosier, the Great Wenonah, of Richmond, Ind. After this a call was made for another vocal solo by Mr. McFeeley, who freely responded with "Every One is Meant for Some One." This closed the program. Then the Majella council was summoned for the purpose of conferring the degree on the following candidates: Mrs. Mary Hunt, Mrs. James Gay, Mrs. Goldie Gay, Mr. E. N. Peoples, Mr. William Bulter, Mrs. Emma Bulter, Mrs. Arabella Welder, Edith Johnson, Elize Johnson, Katie Zeser, Florence Bence, Daisy Helm, Julia Amesbaugh, Mrs. C. J. Lutz, Elizabeth Graber, Carliona Fedderjohnn, Charline Louthas, Lueila Sullivan,Charles Rinehart, Mata Rinehart, John Yager, Charles Ernst, Mrs. D. B. Ervin, Mrs, Richard Roop, Miss Jean Lutz, Mrs. Levi Presdorf, Mrs. Sarah Porter, Simeon Hain, William Darwachter, Mary Watson, Gusta Craner, Mrs. Mose Henry, Mrs. Scheman, Mrs. Enso, Mollie Cross, Cory Worden, Mary Peterson, Ella Merreness, Rena Hoffman,Ella Laughlin. The members of the degree staff exemplified their work in a very impressive manner. It was praised highly and they were all congratulated on their success. After conferring the degree the Great Pocahontas closed the meeting, which was immediately followed by a sumptuous and elaborate banquet, after which the guests and friends enjoyed a social hour until the ladies returned heme on the midnight trains. The number of guests w r ho were present last evening was remarkable. oAN INSIDIOUS DANGER One of the worst features of kidney trouble is that it is an insidious disease and before the victim realizes his danger he may have a fatal malady. Take Foley’s Kidney Cure at the first sign of trouble as it corrects irregularities and prevents Bright’s disease and diabetes THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

i Mr. S. L Bower, of Wayne, W. Va., writes: “I was a sufferer from kidney ! disease, so that at times I could not I get out of bed, and when I did I could not stand straight. I took Foley's Kidney Cure. One dollar bottle and I part of the second cured me entirely.” Foley’s Kidney Cure works wonders where others are total failures. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
