PASS THE ICE WATER Adams county is no different than any other Indiana county. The vote yesterday in favor of relegating the saloon, is answered in the same voice ( by four other counties. It is public sentiment speaking what has been in. their minds for many years, simply awaiting the opportunity when their combined votes w-ould control. Whether it is county unit or township or ward unit, cuts but little ice. In the • city of Decatur every ward produced a dry majority, and when the township was added the majority in favor of the drys was simply increased. It is all one and the same, and no one ip Adams county need complain that the Democrtaic idea as expressed in their state platform, was not in vogue. The result would have been the same. It all means that the American saloon as it it known today, is doomed. You ' may talk about the blind tiger and the boot-legger all you please, but | .the people are willing to make the trial, and then if they do not like it, it will not cost any more to get it back than it cost to put it out. The people did not vote either with the idea of depriving any person from the enjoyment of taking a drink if they want to, but they voted to rid the public of the licensed saloon, the • place where men congregateand drink when they ought not to drink, the place wher men congregate and drink ’ t ■ disregard their mother's fondest wish and hope, and where they look for the first time upon the wine that is red, and which, too, may change their whole life —a life that might have been both useful and helpful. But there is no use to enumerate. It

lis all very simple. There is no use ’ ia trying to dig up from the closet I any unknown influence that worked against the open saloon. There . were none. It was simply the voice of the people registering a free and j an untrameled ballot against the ( country's worst enemy, and as usual, ) the people won. > Believing as does Democracy's great ’ leader, that the people rule, every i one will acquiese, and abide the result. We suspect Mr. Bryan’s announce-

ment that he will quietly submit to conscription four years hence should democracy again demand the eminent service of his leadership is not altogether without design to irritate, pro- ' vc.ke and tease his admirers and well wishes among the republican editors, ■ great and small, of this expansive nai tion. Os course Mr. Bryan would run a fourth time should the demand be made upon him. If his party petitions he will answ-er the call —as what man and patriot would not? —and render to Ms great national constituency the best account possible of himself. But Mr. Bryan has been at some pains in different parts of the country to declare himself alert to any possible summons and each time prodigious grists of observations, commentaries and opinions are spilled upon his devoted head and not all of them are either amiable or polite, and the thought somehow forms itself that Mr. Bryan is baiting his critics of the o[ position.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

SOCIAL COLUMN Mrs. Byerly Becomes the Bride of Mr. Jno. Taylor of Pennville THE RED MEN LODGE Mrs. Charles D. Murray Ententained at Six 0 Clock Dinner

• At high noon Sunday occurred the wedding of Henrietta the beautiful daughter of Eld. and Mrs. Daniel M. Byerly, to Mr. John Taylor, of Pennville? Ind. Although as a surprise to many, it was expected by some of her intimate friends. The wedding was solemnized at the bride's home near Curryville by Eld D. M. Byerly, at twelve o’clock Sunday. The bride was arrayed in a beautiful white dress, while the groom wore the usual black. After the ceremony had been performed and congratulations received they were invited to the dining room where a four-course luncheon was awaiting them. Those present were: Eld. D. M. Byerly and family, Mr. Ambrose Taylor and family of Pennville, Ind., Miss Nora Whitacre, of Pennville, Ind.; Rev. Muri E. Fulk and John A. Fulk. It had been quietly planned to leave early Monday morning for the groom’s borne, but her manyfriends thought it unfair to let them go without first ejaculating them. The boys gathered together and shortly after twelve o’clock they surrounded the house and made such a racket that they will not forget the longest day that they live. Henrietta is the eldest daughter of Eld. and Mrs. D. M. Byerly, having but attended college at North Manchester, Ind., last winter, and was held in high esteem by all that knew her. Mr. Taylor is

also the eldest son of Mr. and Mw. Ambrose Taylor, of Pennville, Ind., and is well known in the community in which he lives. They will make their future home near Camden, on Eld. Byerly's farm. May success and happiness crown their lives. The Red Men will celebrate an addition to their tribe tonight. Four candidates will be taken in.
