They have got to the point where intimations of tampering with the ballots are openly made. At the next annual meeting the prospect for open war is good, and the next time the hair-pulling stage may be reached. — Columbia City Post. THEY TOO WILL REVISE TARIFF Democrats in Congress Are Reading the Future, Washington, April 27. —The Demo- ' cratic minority in congress seems to believe that, in spite of its failure to stand for anything in this year's tariff making, it will be the majority in the sixty-second congress. The optimistic Champ Clark, of Missouri, who holds the title of leader of the ! minority of the house of represeirta- 1 tives, is already talking of the pro- , gram that will be followed when his ( party comes into control of the lower branch of the legislative body. Mr. Clark proposes that at the short ses- 1 sion in 1911 the Democratic house < shall pass a tariff bill —a real tariff , revision bill that will reduce the cost ,

of living and strike at the great combinations. The senate, bound to be Republican, will, the optimistic Clark assumes, refuse to pass the bill. On this bill which they have put through the house the Democrats will go before the country in the presidential campaign of 1912 and, according to Mr. Clark, they will win. To repeat, the Democratic minority leader has this program all worked out to a nicety, in spite of the fact that his party is not getting anywhere in the present business of tariff making. Mr. Clark is pinning his faith on the assumption that the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill will be a failure; that it will be a disappointment from the day it is enacted, and that the people will rise up and demand a real revision by the Democratic party.

THE PEACH CAFE IS CLOSED Jesse Smith Has Returned to this City for Good. When hungry pedestrians and travelers called at the Peach Case Saturday and Sunday they found the doors of that popular restaurant closed — closed perhaps for good. Jesse Smith, the owner, having locked the door Friday night and returned to Decatur, his old stopping ground. For a short time everything went lovely and business was good, but a lack of trade and financial support caused him to close the place and seek another field of labor While the business was conducted by Mr. Smith he endeavored to give his customers the best service possible and his place was known to the traveling public to be first class. He had a good trade among the railroad men and the public in general.—Garrett Press. o WERE IN STAIRWAY

Two Married Women Guilty

Os Disgraceful Conduct BECAME DRUNK And Then Accompanied Young Boys to , Stairway Two married ladies, one residing in Decatur, the other hailing from Elkhart, will be called upon to face a serious charge as a consequence of their disgraceful conduct on last night. They are reported as imbibing of the flowing bowl until becoming beastly drunk, after which they accompanied two boys in a stairway, where beer drinking was indulged in as well as profanity and other misconduct. Beer was poured on the floor in the -first landing of the stairway and it seeped through the floor beneath, falling upon and destroying goods in a store. The women were followed home and their identity was disclosed, although the youthful boys made good their escape before they were recognized. Unless present plans fail, affidavits will be filed against the women, who will then be called upon to explain their actions of last night. There are a number of men and women who have been congregating in stairways and other places in the down town district, and the officers expect to prosecute every person caught hereafter. It is not only an offense to common decency, but causes property to be destroyed to tolerate such occurrences and further violations will be promptly prosecuted. We withhold the names of the women until the necessary papers are drawn.and their arrest has been made which will probably occur this evening.

L. W. Ryan, of Sidney, Ohio, said the words that made them one. The bride was d"essed in white silk batiste, and carried pink carnations. The groom wore the conventional black. The ring service was used and was very impressive. After congratulations the guests adjourned to the dining room and partook of a bounteous supper. The bride received many pretty and useful presents.

The men who did the work were Andrew Welfley in the first ward, Ed Kintz in the second ward and Walter Johnson in the third ward. The proper reports , are now in the hands of D. B. Erwin the president of the board, who requests us to say that If any resident of Decatur knows that any names have been omitted, the board will appreciate it if they are informed of same, as the larger the number the larger the appropriation made by the state for the schools here. The reports show that the first ward has 232 boys and 218 girls, the second has 192 boys and 209 girls and the third 233 boys and 233 girls, a total of 657 boys and 660 girls and a grand total of school children of 1,317, as compared to 1,253 for last year.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE Perry Heath Escaped from an Earthquake. Washington, April 2".—Perry S. Heath, formerly prominent in Indiana Republican politics, has returned to Washington after a prolonged tour of Europe. He tells a story of a hairbreadth escape,, from the earthquake at Messina. He had tried to engage passage on a British steamer from Naples, but failed to receive assurance of satisfactory accommodations for himself and wife, and after some delay, he decided to make the trip by an Italian steamship line. The delay, wholly accidental, probably saved their lives. They arrived at the harbor of Messina on the morning after the earthquake. If they had gone when they intended they would have been in Messina in the very heart of the earthquake zone when the great disaster occurred. BEAUTIFUL HOMES

Henry Gallmeyer, of Preble Township, Lives Like a King HAVE HAPPY HOMES A Few Items Gleaned from an Hour’s Spin Through That Township Os the many beautiful homes in northern Adams county, none are more handsome or better kept than that of Henry uaumeyer, located near the banks of the St. Mary's. It is a commodious and richly furnished house with every known convenience, and the surroundings are beautiful to look upon. A recentlypurchased ornamental fence bought of the Ward Fence company, encloses the house and a small plot of ground, and the new addition was the last needed improvement to add finish and style to that comfortable home. Mr. and Mrs. Gallmeyer apd young daughter comprises one of the most happy families in Adams county, and they enjoy themselves in the luxury that is unknown to The average city home, no matter how palatial.

Louie Kleine, former trustee of ( Preble township, but now jusra plain citizen, is another citizen of that , township, that knows the comforts of . a fine country home. In recent years a handsome cement block house was built, and since then much time, labor and monay has been spent in improving the surroundings of that new home, and some day and that day is not far distant, the Kleine home will ‘ have few equals in the county. ■ < Assessor Gallmeyer is bringing in the stranglers and in a few days more will have the work of assessing the personal property in Preble township ; complete. The above items were gleaned in an hour’s spin through part of that township, through the kindness of Mr.' M. E. Brackett of the Ward Fence I company. It all signifies what every one knows, and that Is that Prebie i township always leads in whatever they undertake. o- - — ■ ALL NEWSPAPERS SHOULD COPY THIS We cheerfully copy the following: “I hope that every newspaper in the country will copy this. If they will, • they will do world’s of good for thousands of sick people who are now suffering as I did for years with my stomach and kidneys, but thanks to the wonderful medicine that is now doing so much good ail over the country, I am liberated from my years of torture and am once more enjoying the great blessing of good health. For several years my back was hurting me most of the time, and I would have to get up from ten to fifteen times every night on account of my kidneys. My food would sour and burn in my stomach and I would bloat and belch until I would get dizzy and nervous. I was badly constipated, and had to be taking something alt of the time. If I didn’t I was sure to have a bad spell of sick headache. 1 No one knows how much I did suffer, but after taking the great remedy, 1 Root Juice, a short time, I began to 1 improve, and after using about six 1 j bottle I api strong and well, and feel I like a boy. I am glad to tell every sick person all about it, because 1 sympathize with those who suffer as I did.” L. F. Pratt, South Bend, Ind. It is well known here that Root Juice is certainly a wonderful medicine, _t is sold for one dollar a bottle or six bottles for five dollars. Holthouse drug store.

PRINCIPLE WRONG Senator Bailey Makes Set 1 Speech Against Protection TO OWN TRAIN Congress May Buy a Railroad Train for the President Washington, April 27.—Denouncing the principle of a protective tariff as unfair in taking money from one man' to give it to another in order to encourage him in the pursuit of an otherwise unprofitable business. Senator Bailey of Te>|is delivered a set speech on the Democratic side in opposition to the pending tariff bill. Both the floor and the galleries were crowded. Mrs. Taft occupied a seat in the president's gallery. Mr. Bailey insisted that a lowering of the rate of duty 33 1-3 per cent, would not seriously affect importations, because he believed American manufacturers would be stimulated by the added foreign competition and would continue to supply the markets. He discussed his amendment providing for an income tax, which was criticised by Mr. Aldrich as tending to reduce the protection that would be given American labor if it should result in a proportionate decrease of customs duties. Mr. Bailey favored restriction of immferation as a protection to American labor.

Washington, April 27. —If a bill introduced today by Representative Dwight of New York becomes a law, the United States will own a complete railway train, consisting of a baggage car, a sleeping car and a private car for the exclusive use of the president of the United States. The. sum of $60,000 to be expended by the secretary of war, is provided and the secretary is authorized tc enter annually into contracts with railway companies for hauling the train. For expenses in connection with the travels of the president, his guests and attendants, the sum of $25,000 is appropriated, *o be immediately availabfe.

Washington, April 27. —That the day of Cuban annexation to the United States is not very far distant seems to be a fair inference from a remarkable outburst of annexation sentiment' that has been called forth by a resolution introduced in the house of representatives a few days ago by Representative Harvey Helm of the eighth Kentucky district. — WOLFE CASEPOSTPONED (Continued from page 1.) al, partition and has assumed jurisdiction.
