Washington. February 9 — Representative Adair would go a step farther than Mr. Cox and would reduce the salaries of congressmen from $7,540 to SS.ON a year. “The salary could be put back to $5,040," said he, “and the people would get exactly the same c.ass of servants that they have now. The character of congressional service has not improved a bit state the , salary was increased from $5,400 to : $7,500. Exactly the same class of men ij ccrne here to make the laws. Nothing!, whatever, has been gained to justify ( the extra expense of over $1,000,040 i per annum which has resulted from f

the increase in salary. As far as the ■ mileage proposition is concerted."l I agree entirely with the statements i of Mr. Cox that the amount now paid has no defense. I do not agree, however, that it would be the best plan to cut off mileage entirely. That would make fish of the congressmen who live near Washington and fowl of those who live tar away. In ether words, it would amount to a discrimination. It would be better, in my judgment, to enact a law restricting the mileage allowance so that it will , Ccver actual traveling expenses and • no more.’’ I ] o • | Democrat Want Ads. Pay

DIEDFROMSENILITY . Mrs. Jane Ainsworth Called By Angel of Death *7B YEARS OF AGE Died at Infirmary Last Night at 11:55 OClock Mrs. Jane Ainsworth, seventy-eight years of age. who for three years psst i has been an inmate at the county in- *

jfirmary, died last night at 11:55 i o'clock after suffering for a long time 'from a complication of diseases peculiar to old age. The better years of ; ber long Life having been dedicated to aught but bard labor, the woman whose form tottered with old age, was forced to resort to the county institution seme years ago for food and shelter, that the remaining days of the cicsing chapter of her life would be attended by the necessities of life if not by the happiness which she deserved. The mind shrinks from contemplation of sueh a sad plight befalling one whose age and withered form deprived her from the vigor.

which sustains the dignity attained | by those who are willing to labor, although they may be In meagre circcmataaces, and although the closing of the life of the late Mrs. Ainsworth has not been attended by a profusion of floral offerings and the weeping of a large following of sorrowing friends, her spirit enters the eternal world with the consciousness that the life has well been lived, bereft as it may have been of the luxuries enjoyed by many. Two sons, William, residing two miles southwest of Monroeville and Henry, living ten miles east of Decatur, survive and will be in attendance at the funeral to be held 1 at the infirmary tomorrow morning;«

S. —A touching tribute was paid to Representative Overstreet shortly after neon yesterday when Speaker Cannon called the Indianapolis representative to the eh»i- to preside during the afternoon. There was a spontaneous outburst of handclapping, in which both Repub- !.»». aud Democrats joined. The demonstration which was prompted by the fact that Mr. Overstreet will retire to private life on March 4. was wholly unexpected, and while he appeared visibly embarrassed the incident will linger in his memory as one of the most pieasiag events of his

The vote at Berne showed an almost unanimous sentiment, but this is partially due to the many moves made by the Genevaites on the interurban checkerboard. There is deadly conflict between them for this line, and it now is a toss up as to who will win. o TRY THE MONEY-BACK CURE FOR INDIGESTION. Nine times in ten stomach derangements are responsible for sallow complexion, dull eyes and thin body. It is the stomach that supplies nourishing blood to the muscles, the nerves and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritious matter

win be absorbed by the blood. If it : is not healthy, the food will ferment, and undigested, will pass along through the bowels, (furnishing sc little nutritious matter that the blood becomes impoverished, and the glow of health vanishes. If you suffer from nervousness, sick headache, belching of gas, sour taste in the mouth, heaviness after eating, or any other miserable stomach disturbance, you need Mi-o-na, and the sooner you get it the quicker I you will be healthier and happier. ■ It will relieve any distressed stom- ■ ach condition almost immediately, it ■ will cure if used according to direc- ■ tons. Holthouse Drug Co. sells it for I 50 cents a large box, and they think ■ enough of it to guarantee it to cure ■ indigestion.

TO BIG ALTO SHOW L. W. Coppock arid Jesse Niblick Gone to Chicago TO ATTEND SHOW Coppock Car is Not to Be Shown this Year r W. Coppock of the Coppock Motor Car factory, and Jesse Niblick left this morning for Chicago, where they

will attend the big automobile show I which is on at the spacious co’.Lsetim I I this week. They will remain until Friday and while gone will purchase a large amount of material which will ( be used in the construction of the famous commercial car. The Coppock people decided some time ago not to sLow their car at the display this year for several reasons. It would cost about eleven hundred dollars to show the car at the coiliseum and tor that amount of money they can make a large number of demonstrations in other ways, which ft is thought will bring better results. It will be remembered that the Coppock car attracted considerable attention at the show held at the windy city a year ago. and its merits were then well

recognized Inasmuch as the promoters of the Decatur car are convinced as a result of its satisfactory demonstration at the show a year ago that its qualities command country wide recognition, they have not gone to the expense this year of entering the machine at the big show. O. P. Edwards of Leipsic. Ohio, son-in-law of John Niblick of this city, who is also deeply interested in the automobile business, has wired Messrs. Niblick and Coppock that he will meet them at Chicago, and attend the show with

them. COURTHOUSE NEWS A Few Entries on the Court Docket this Morning A NEW TRIAL The Mutual Manufacturing Company-Kintz Case Will Be Tried Again

Blufftop Boys Are Having a Meeting There Today ROAD WILL BE BUILT It Will Cost Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Abe Simmons as attorney, W. A. Kunkle. R- F. Cummins, D. W. Brown. L. C. Justus and Samuel Bender, of Bluffton, were here for a short time today on their way to Geneva, where they wiH take up the matter of extension for the Bluffton. Genera & Celina tiaction line. All the boys had money

in their sock and if the Geneva end of the transaction make good, by taking $75,000 worth of stock the line will be extended as far as Geneva, at least, during the coming summer. The Bluffton syndicate propose to take $225,000 worth which added to what Geneva promises to do, makes $300,000 and they figure that this amount of money will build the line. If it takes more, the Bluffton boys will come down with the balance, and thus insure Geneva of a line to Bluffton, and which will connect with the Bluffton & Marion line. The latter road got it? bumps for a time, hut it has come out of the kinks and is now producing its owners a fair dividend. There is one thing sure, and that is that the Bluffton boys are a game lot of high financiers, and they all have more than made good, as they will do in the project of not only financing but building the line from Bluffton to Geneva. A. G. Briggs has charge of the matter for the Adams county boys.

One of the most popular of James Whitcomb Riley’s poems is “Beautiful Hands.” You may be sure the hands he referred to were not reddened and swollen and cracked by the caustic in cheap yellow laundry soap. Easy Task scap—costs a nickel a cake —lasts twice as long and does twice as much work as the yellow, common sort. Your grocer has it, or will get it for you. It's an honest soap that does the hard work for you and gives you a chance to enjoy life.
