It is estimated that the year s output of motor cars made in Detroit will reach the amazing figuse of 137,450 machines with a value of $152,074,000. That city has twenty-five factories, however, with outputs ranging from 25,000 machines down to 300.—-Columbia City Post. At the Jefferson banquet at Lafay ette the name of Governor Marshall was heralded to the public as the most suitable tor me democrats to place at the head of their national ticket for president in 1912. This is more than oliasi-ig to the citizens of this state ir espectlve of their politics or religion and we lope that destiny and the demet rets will never rM until he is presit tut of the United States. President Taft is having his troubles with the insurgents of his party, Speaker Cannon is having his troubles with this element, and now J. Wood Wilson, who was slated for chairman of their state committee in this state, has been indicted by the federal grand jury, the offense being that he belonged to a trust that throttled competition and disregarded the laws of the nation. Slowly but surely they are coming into their own. Mr. R. G. Tucker, the Indiana representative of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is being touted with some seriousness as a candidate for secretary of state before the next republican state convention. Mr. Tucker is a mighty clean and deserving member of his party and as a newspaper writer he has bat few equals in the west, and better than all this, he is on the square. His party could not do a better thing than to hand him the nomination in question without any controversy.

Congressman Adair is a busy Indian in congress these days. He is busy making speeches against the rank extravagance of the national government, paying especial attention to the leaks in the system that strongly border on graft, and is generally in terested in the people against those who want something and seemingly are unwilling to give anything in return. The Eighth district congressman is also busy in departmental affairs and gets for his district all that

Moltz Wednesday afternoon. This session will be an important one and all members are urged to attend. , The dance to be given by the Knights of Columbus at their hall Wednesday evening promises to be of much interest and also a sw-ell affair. The members have put themselves to a great deal of work, and the event will be long remembered. Quite a number of invitations have been issued and a large crowd will no doubt be present. On account of the illness of Mrs. Guy Johnson, who was to have enj tertained the Fortnightly club this 1 week, the meeting has been postponed. The Historical club, which meets this evening with Mrs. Millen Burns, will study last week’s lesson on account of the illness of Mrs. Nettie Schrock, to who was assigned this, week’s leadership in the study.

NO CHANGE EXPECTED Past Year Has Been a Successful One and Prospects for 1910 Bright. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the First National bank of this city is in progress today. Only routine business is being disposed of, the principal event being the election of the board of directors. The polls are held open for this purpose until the regular closing hours of the bank. The directors as chosen will then meet and select the officers for the year. It is not likely that there will be any change in the directorship of the bank, or in the list of officers. The past year has been a very successful one for this splendid banking house. They have progressed nicely under the management of Cashier Dugan and his assistants, and the report of the advancement made during 1909 was entirely satisfactory and very pleasing to the stockholders. The bank will no doubt continue to prosper during 1910. ——o —. A WRETCHED HISTAKE to endure the itching, painful distress of Piles. There's no need to.
