WITHOUT ANY FIREWORKS The upheaval at the Jeffersonvi*e reformatory has not only resulted 'n the resignation of both Superintendent Whittaker and Assistant Superintendent narnaru, but it will doubtless be followed by a general clearing of the air in that and other institutions. So far as is now known no specific charges affecting the management of other institutions are pending, but according to general report there are conditions that are not satisfactory. What developments there will be, if any, is a matter for the future. From the time that he took office, Governor Marshall has kept his eyes closely on the state’s affairs. He proposes to see to it that the people’s tusim ss shall be managed in a manner which will meet with the people s approval. He has done no blustering and has touched off no red fire, but he evidently intends tc know what is going on, and how, and why, and the cost. If any skyrockets go up they will be sent up by the other fellow, not, perhaps, in celebration of something, but as a signal of distress. One thing is certain, and that is that wherever mismanagement is shown to exist it is going to be corrected, and It will be corrected de-

cently and in order, and speedily likewise. Wherever an abuse sticks up its head it will come in contact with the official shillaleh. And wherever a graft is found burrowing it will be dug out and pilloried for public inspection. Governor Marshall has shown by every official action of his that he believes that the people who pay the government's bills are entit'ed to receive the worth of their money in return. James Webb, believed to be the oldest Democrat in the United States, died recently at Stockton, California, at the home of his son, Isaac, at the age of 102 years, ten months and five days. Webb was born In Kentucky July 27, 1806. He leaves four sons: Jesse, aged 83; Isaac, 79; William, 64; Ira, 60, and a daughter, Mrs. Nancy Gard, 42. Webb boasted that he never voted anything but the Democratic ticket from his first vote,which was in 1828, for Andrew Jackson for president. In the senate the other day Senator Dolliver of lowa, a Republican, said. “Nobody has any faith in what we are doing here.” And that is true. In the entire history of tariff legislation there never has been anything so disgraceful, so absolutely shameless and impudent as the proceedings on the present bill. Evreything has been done for the "protected” interests and not a thing for the people. How could anybody have faith in what is being done in Washington? Everyone knows that

Portland, Ind., July 6. —Charles Thomas, of this city, traveling as a drummer with the Gentry Bros, show, was stricken with paralysis while on a train near Fort Wayne, to which place the show was enroute. He was taken from the train and later, at his request, removed to Montpelier, the home of his brother-in-law. His entire left side was at first affected, but it is said that he has now partially recovered the use of his arm. OMLOR WAS FINED Chil Omlor Pays $18.25 for Selling Liquor Decoration Day HEARING TODAY He Plead Guilty—John Herman Prayed for a Continuance Chil Omlor this morning appeared before Suire J. H. Stone and plead guilty to the charge of selling liquor on Decoration Day and a fine of ten dollars and costs amounting in all to $18.25 was imposed. The case had been continued and was set for hearing this morning. Mr. Omlor has closed his business and will leave in the near future for the golden west, where he may locate.

John Herman, who several weeks ago was arrested upon the charge of conducting a gaming nouse, appeared before Squire Stone this morning and petitioned for a continuance until the fourteenth of the month. The continuance was granted subseqeent to the arrangement of a bond for the appearance of the defendant and the trial will come off at that time. The justices of the peace have not been rushed on marriages during the past few weeks. In fact they have not had a single one lor some time. Cupid must be losing its prestige with county young folk. HASTENED HOME Mrs. Miles Pillars Suddenly Overtaken by Severe Illness WAS AT FORT WAYNE And Suddenly Was Taken 11l from Acute Case of Tonsilitis

Mrs .Miles Pillars, of Paragould, Ark., a guest at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. U. Dorwin, who yesterday went to Fort Wayne for a visit with friends and relatives, found it necessary to return to the city hastily on account of a serious siege of tonsilitis which suddenly overtook her. She returned to Decatur last evening and is now suffering intensely from the excruciating ailment. Mrs. Pillars came to this city recently from her Arkansas home, after she had been advised to do so by the family physician on account of her daughter’s ill health and it seems that she having more than her share of misfortunes. The baby it will be remembered, narrowly averted death last summer, while in the city, as a consequence of a serious illness. Mrs. Pillars will remain in Decatur for several months.

While enroute and while driving down a steep hill the horses got away and as they rounded a turn at the foot of the bill the rig was overturned and all were thrown out on the ground. Mrs. Bell was injured internally and it was at first feared that her condition was quite sersious.but the letter today said she was some better and it is hoped she will soon recover.

CHANCE ON THE CARPET Manager of Cubs Called on to Explain Certain Remarks. New York, July 6. —Base ball players and managers will have to be a little more careful of their remarks when they criticise any action taken by the board of directors of the National league or by the national commission. The national commission is now investigating an interview alleged to have been had with Frana Chance, manager of the Chicago Nationals, in which Chance was quoted as having accused the members of the national commission of having overstepped their authority in recommending that a bonus of SIO,OOO be divided among all the players who were declared eligible by the national commission to participate in last year's world series. The Chicago manager has been called for an explanation of the remarks attributed . to him. o THAT EXHIBIT CAR 1 Big Exposition Will Be Here on Wheels Three i Days Next Week 1 BE SURE TO GO 1 Everyone Who Does Gets a Souvenir Worth More Than the Admission ► k 1 We wish to again call the attention of the readers of the Daily Democrat , to the wonderful Stanislaus county, California, exhibit cars which will . arrive here next Tuesday morning 1 over the G.

VISIT IN THE WEST William Parent, Family and Mrs. Kohn Go to Boulder, Colo. VISIT HARTMANS Mr. Parent Was Injured This Morning While Working Mr. and Mrs. William Parent and children, Dreda and Orval, accompanied by Mrs. Parent’s mother, Mrs. Kohn, will leave this evening for Boulder, Colo., where they remain for some time as the guests of Prof, and Mrs. H. A. Hartman. After enjoying a pleasant visit there they will go to Denver and other cities in the west to make short stays with relatives. The Parents and party expect a glorious time on their expedition and it will no doubt prove a delightful vacation. William Parent was the victim of an accident this morning in which he received an ugly wound on his head, although it is not of a serious nature. He was engaged in stretch ing wive and in an effort to throw one wire over another he attached a weight on a rope throwing it. The weight came down with great force and struck him on the head terrifica'ly, inflicting the wound. The injury is not of such a nature as to detain him from the trip he had planned, fortunately. o AGENTS—S7S monthly selling Star egg beater; works with one hand; lightning seller; sample free.
