When we read that big Tim Sullivan has just distributed 5,000 pairs of shoes and stockings to the needy in his district we are not surprised that he is a hard man to beat when election days come around.

MORE ABOUT AMISH t . The Lawyers Will Not » Swipe All of the Paille 0 , Judgment 5 I ; IT IS CHEAP • II Will Only Cost Each of the Fifteen Defendants i $66,66 i After numerous councils among themselves and a visit and talk by Bishop Joseph Swarts to the leading men of the Amish settlements over the central states, the fifteen defendants in the damage suit brought oy George Paille against the elders of Adams county church, have decided to pay the SI,OOO judgment secured against them by the plaintiff in the recent trial of the case in the Jay circuit court. The firm of Snyder & Smith, local attorneys for the defendants, received instructions late Saturday afternoon from Judge Hel- 1 ler, of Decatur, chief counsel, to the 1

effect that the judgment would be paid and no motion for a new trial will be made. An erroneous report was in circulation Monday that Paille would receive but little of the SI,OOO as liens covering the major portion of the amount had been filed by his attorneys for their fees. James J. I Moran, one of Paille’s representatives said Monday that only a small part *of the judgment had been claimed by the lawyers. A motion will be filed by Snyder & Smith, on the first day of the March term of court, asking that the costs in .the ease, which arc now against the defendants, be re-taxed and thrown upon the plaintiff. The costs are comparatively light, this being the first hearing of the case. Aside from the costs, unless the motion receives favorable action, each of the defendants will be required to pay $66.66, as his share of the total amount of the judgment. —Portland Sun.

I IS CONSTITUTIONAL AGAIN. A Crawfordsville Judge on the County Option Law. I Crawfordsville, Ind., Feb. 16.—The county local option law was again declared constitutional by Judge Jere West of the Montgomery county circuit court in the case of Charles Galey, a local saloon keeper, versus the beard of commissioners of Montgom- * ery county. In deciding the case the judge, however, continued the restraining order which kept the com- : missioners from ordering the election in their regular February session and will continue to do so until they have filed an itemized statement of the necessary expenss. The itemized account of the amount necessary to defray the expenses of the election was a bone of contention of the “wets,” who asserted that it was necessary for the county commissioners to file such an account with the county council before the election expenses could be granted. In commenting on the restraining order Judge West said that he was not ready to declare it necessary for the county council to make an appropriation before the election was held. In his opinion he said it was not necessary, but since this question was in the case he said he would continue the restraining order until the board of commissioners had remedied the defect.

HAVETOSHOWTHEM Waters-Pierce Oil Company Out of Business in Missouri IN COLLUSION Failed to Satisfy Authorities That They Were Independent of Standard Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 16.—0 n the ground that the Waters-Pierce

' Oil company, of Missouri, has not ■ complied with the ouster decree vs ' the supreme court of the state, in an answer filed this forenoon. Attorney General Major yesterday filed with the court a suggestion that the ouster be made effective against the concern. This course was agreed upon after conferences between the attorney general. Governor Hadley and former Assistant (Attorney General John Kennish, who assisted former Attorney General Hadley in the original presentation of the case. The action of the attorney general is based on the fact that the company did not furnish satisfactory evidence that it had severed relations with the Standard Oil company. The conference between the state officers followed a talk with them and Henry S. Priest, attorney for the company. H. Clay Pierce, chairman of the board of the Waters-Pierce Oil company, this morning filed in the supreme court a partial acceptance of the terms imposed on the company by the recent ouster order. The fine of $50,000 was paid. The decree provided that the company must show to the court that it had severed all connection with the Standard Oil company.

EXTEND LINES TO VANCOUVER- — — The Canadian Northern to Make Great Improvements. Winnipeg. Feb. 16,-The announcement that the Canadian Northern Railway will extend its line to Vancouver, giving the United States as well as Canada a new route to the Pacific, has been officially confirmed. Negotiations to secure the assistance of the provincial government of British Columbia, it may be assumed, have been successful and work will probably be begun by summer. The importance to the United States of this latest move of the Canadian road builders lies in the sac tthat one of the terminals of the Canadian Northern is now in this country as a result of the purchase of the Duluth. Rainy Lake and Winnipeg Railway whic hwas announced less than two months ago. This line put Duluth for the first time on a direct short line between Chicago and Winnipeg, and insured to the United States a larger share in the shipments to and from the prairie provinces of Western Canada. The Duluth. Missabl eand Northern Railroad was also affected by the change in control.

HE WAS ON A SPREE Frank Staley Caused Disturbance at Parrish Home HE WAS ABUSIVE Drunken Young Man Displays His Ig* norance Frank Staley, a young man residing in the west part of the city, a printer by trade, and who came to this city some time ago from Huntington, imbibed freely of the flowing bowl last night, and before he reached his

home he encountered some little difficulty as a consequence of his effrontery. Newton Parrish had just returned home from church when he heard a rap at the door. Opening the door he saw the drunken young man who said “What are you doing here at my house?” Mr. Parrish was dumfounded to be approached in this manner at his own house, and he informed Staley that he had turned in at the wrong place. Staley persisted, however, that it was his hout>e, and before he could be pursuaded to think otherwise, it became necessary for Mr. Parrish to resort to stringent measures in controlling him. Finally Staley realized that he was at the wrong place, and as best he could he told where he lived, and he was escorted home. It would seem far more appropriate if he had been escorted to jail where he could be given a chance to learn that he is not a privileged character permitted to cause disturbances at private households. His actions of last night were most disgraceful and enlisted the contempt of all who saw his antics. Such sprees are not becoming of a young married man, whose time or a portion of it at least, should be spent at home with his wife. As yet no charges have been preferred against the young man.
