THEY WANT TO REBUKE GOVERNOR HANLY ‘ Anyone with a thimble full of brains containing a due proportion cf gray matter knows that the over fourteen thousand majority given Mr. Marshall was not a vote for or against county option or township option or any other option unit. The option principle was enacted into law, and the option unit removed as a campaign question by Governor Hanly’s special session; and many, many thousands of anti-saloon Democrats voted for Mr. Marshal! because they had confidence in his integrity, who would have voted against him had he or the Demecratic party declared in favor of the repeal of the county option law without giving it a trial. Who is demanding its repeal? The most vociferous are those Republicans who want to rebuke Governor Hanly for having forced the measure on the party; but with this sentiment the Democrats have no sympathy and very little concern.” —White County Democrat. There is the politics of local option. The election returns did not produce a verdict for the repeal of the present law. but instead it did indicate that the temperance issue was settled by Governor Hanly’s special session. The public speakers and the press plainly stated this truth before elc-eUc-s. and it was so accepted by both the advocates of temperance and by the lib-

eral elements. There were no pledges or indications of a desire to repeal the county local option law. It is worthy of notice that all the anxiety of repeal comes from Republicans. Their anxiety for repeal exceeds their good judgment. It is easy to remember their unnatural interest for prohibition before the election and to compare that with their hardened open denunciation new. They are for any old thing that wins—only. The Democrats are wisely not evincing a deep concern over repeal or no repeal. They are letting the Republicans scratch their own eyes out. It is their law, they made it and while they talk much about repeal, yet if they had the power they would not dare to force a repeal. Court at Washington has decided that a wife has a right to search a husband's pockets and to annex half of everything she finds therein. As the pockets of a husband who would drive his wife to this expedient would probably contain nothing more valuable than a plug of tobacco, the usefulness of the decision is neither important nor far-reaching.—Fort Wayne News. I Wonder what temperance Republicans think now of these Republican papers that are advising Republican members of the legislature to vote | for the repeal of county option? Do they believe these papers are playing square, or do they realize that they are playing politics just as they were during the campaign? —Columbia City Post.

ARE IN GOOD SHAPE Grand Jury Conclude— Wolfe Not Indicted for Mangold’s Murder GRABER IS PRAISED Six Indictments the Fruit— Nearly All Are for Felonies

The grand jury filed their report at 10:30 this morning the result being six indictments. The report says that they have been in session six days, have examined 115 witnesses, have investigated thoroughly all misdemeanors and felonies reported and herewith return six indictments. They visited the county infirmary anl jail, making a special investigation at the infirmary, visiting that institution perscnally and examining witnesses under oath. They report the place to be in fine condition, and Mr. and Mrs, Graber are given due praise for their management. Under their care splendid crops have been the harvest, the stock is in excellent condition, the treatment cf the inmates has been above reproach. The report says: “We feel that the county is to be congratulated for having the efficient services of Mr. and Mrs. Graber, as they seem to be the right people in the right place." The report also shews that the jurors found the jail to be in excellent con- ! dition and Sheriff Meyer was given due praise. While the report does not say so, it is evident that Charles Wolfe was net indicted for the murder of Jacob Mangold, as all those against whom bills were returned were admitted to bail upon order of the court, which could not have been possible in a murder case. As the jury devoted a great portion of their time to this affair, it is probable Wolfewas indicted for assault with intent to murder. From no official source, it is rumored that all the other indictments excepting one or two were for felonies and the boys who usually buffer from the grand jury sessions seem to have escaped easily this time.
