A hero of many battles, Harvey Millikan. who died at his home in Wabash Sunday, showed his patriotism to the very last. During his last moments, while surrounded by his family and knowing that death had a final I hold upon him, Mr. Milikan asked as i his last wish that the flag which had I floated over him during the civil war Ibe brought out and spread over his i bed as he lay dying. This wish was ' gratified, and he breathed his last beneath the flag which he loved so well. He was prominent in politics and in G. A. R. circles in the state, and had a wide acquaintance. Officials of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ association stated last night that a I story in an afternoon paper to the effect that the association held a meeting yesterday afternoon to consider closing matters was incorrect The story published had it that the offer to the temperance interests to close the saloons on Sunday mornings was to be renewed. President Otto Strode! of the liquor men's association, said that no meeting of the sort was held yesterday.

A Minnesota senator, at Washington, D. C., is advocating the passage of a bill to advance the salaries of (rural route carriers to 81,200. He might also supply them with an automobile, or hire a cab with a driver to take them over their routes, and pay the driver a salary also. If there is so much money in the country, why of course It would be just the right thing to advance the carrier’s salaries.
