HELLER, Manager, B—— !»!UJ— " J'L . . —- » m Uncle Joe s ands firm for the paper trust, but after all he is consistent. He has preached high protection too long to admit now that it is wiong m theory as well as principle. Many of those who now condemn his backbone are not as consistent as Uncle Joe. A Chicago newspaper publisher in his testimony before the house committee on wood pulp, says that his share of the tribute to the paper trust is one hundred thousand dollars a year. It costs .like hades to help these poor but innocent infant industries. The subsidy election should interest every voter in Washington township. The extension of this line means dollars and cents to every inhabitant of the county. It will cost $150,000 to extend to Berne, and that means labor and lots of it much of that money will be spent among all classes of our people, especially the laborer. Boost and get ready to vote for the subsidy. Dan Reid, who staked the Indianapolis Star and is in danger of loosing a good big wad of money by so doing. made his wealth by organizing the tin plate trust and his wealth came easy, but it came out of the pockets of the people who were squeezed to gratify the greed of the stockholders in the trust. For that reason he will not get much sympathy if he does get left on his newspaper loan —Columbia City Post. . ■ ' i——— The successful farmer of today keeps his books and can tell in a minute where he stands in a financial way. He has just as much need of it as the business man. In fact the only kind of farming that pays is the kind that is run strictly on business principles. If the results of recent years in the farming world have demonstrated anything it i- the fact that farming is a science and an exact one at that.—Rochester Sentinel. SALOONS OUSTED (Continued from page 1.) house to await the filing of the remonstrance. While the two north wards were known to be in favor of closing the saloons, bet at two to one were being offered that the third ward would not be carried by the crusaders. The ringing of the bells seemed to give fresh impetus to the workers and from time to time bodies of earnest workers hurried up the steps bearing cards with the names of people who had decided to be with the winning side. On account of the lateness of the filiug of the remonstrance an exact plurality is not procurable, but the most prominent workers say that the First ward was carried by over fifty votes, the Second ward by over forty, the Third ward by eleven and the Fourth ward by ten.

Crown Point, Ind., May I.—The liquor interests were taken by surprise today when the temperance forces filed a remonstrance against the traffic which will close 130 saloons in Calumet township in which Gary, Tolleston and other towns are located. Montpelier, Ind., May 2.—After a campaign of several weeks between the saloon and anti-saloon forces, remonstrances which assure the wiping out of every saloon in this city were filed last evening. The antis are jubilant over their victory and the saloon men are threatening. -o Mrs. D. M. Hensley will leave tomoming for Conneaut. Ohio, where she will make a visit with friends and relatives.

BOTH PARTIES VOTE Democrats and Republicans of Allen County Held Primaries Yesterday TO SELECT TICKETS Returns are Slow—Reichelderfer Wins Race for Sheriff—Other Results Fort Wayne, Ind., May 2. —(Special 2:30 p. m.) —The results of thd Democratic and republican primary elections held in this county yesterday have not been definitely ascertained even at this late hour. However, the democratic ticket, from sufficient returns to determine the outcome, will be A. M. Reichelderfer for sheriff. Robert E. Kelley for recorder and W. S. Wells, Adolph Roggen and R. B. Shirley for representative. Reichelderfer's majority .will reach 700 and Kelly is safe by about half that • amount. The only nomination which seems assured on the republican side is Ashley for recorder. There are 103 precincts in the county and the returns have come in very slow. A small vote was cast by each party.
