The impressive fact is officially stated that during March, 1910, wholesale prices were 7.5 per cent higher than in March, 1909; 10.2 per cent higher than in August, 1908; 21.1 per cent higher than the average yearly price in 1900, and 49.2 per cent higher than the yearly price of 1897.

— r ’ ed by the experience in the average household If. therefore, tariff revision apepars to the vast majority of people to be the direct and proximate remedy, why not attempt it honestly and not suffer the continued burden, and seek surcease by ascribing high prices to some occult, ghostlike world influence, luxury, etc. If lower rates prove not the cure restoration of the higher will be easy —Pittaburg Post. Thera is considerable talk of a second state republican convention. The object of it is alleged to be to line up the regular republicans by the adoption of resolutions approving the administration and the work of congress in enacting the Payne tariff law. Any purpose to make nominations is disclaimed as it Is believed the regu- ( lars will be satisfied to accept the candidates if given an opportunity to express their opposition to insurgency jin a formal manner. So far as the accomplishment of any good is con--1 cerned a second convention is bound . to be a failure. It can only be a i protest, and heaven knows there is • enough of that without the formality of a state gathering. However, sore • the regular republicans of Indiana • are over the treatment given the adt ministration by the political bosses ■ at the state convenion, no good can r be accomplished this year in attemptr' ing to correct the false impression t sent broadcast throughout the coun- - try. The only thing to do is to pre- , serve the organization of the party

by electing its candidates, and when the next campaign rolls around make an open fight for the good old principles of the party and place its leadership in the hands of men who believe in principles. —Huntington Morning Times (Rep.)

The crowd last night at the Crystal Airdome was another record-breaker, and shows that the people appreciate a good show. Howard and Gregory, the comedians, did themselves I proud and were given the glad hand at every turn. They are the real article when it comes to putting on a real live, snappy vaudeville act. They will put on another act tonight which will be better than ever. Besides the vaudeville several reals of good pictures, including Custer's Last Stand, will be run. If you are a live one you will be at the Crystal tonight. Owing to the fact that our “expense'' is so "heavy,” we shall have to charge you “five cents” tonight instead of a nickel. See? — OBITUARY.

daughters. One daughter died in infancy. Joseph Biayney and Mrs. Carrie Gephart are the surviving children. There are also living two half brothers. Erward of, Tennessee, and George of Newark. Ohio, and one half sister, Mrs. Martin Johnson of Alexandria, Ohio. Mr Biayney came to stay with his son-in-law about three years ago, where his stay was most congenial. During the month of January. last, while helping Mr. Gephart do some carpenter work, he fell, receiving an injury to the chest, from

which he never recovered. It seemed that from this Injury a hemorrhage started which resulted in his death at the home of Mrs. Gephart on June 18, 1910. in the seventy-third year of his life. The subject of this sketch was thoroughly known throng iout this vicinity. It would be idle to write at length. Written words can neither add nor detract. We leave his career as it stands in the estimation of his many friends and acquaintances. The funeral services were in charge of Rev. C. B. Sweeney and in-

terment was made in the Pleasant Mills cemetery June l»th. — o- - • “CUSTER” AT STAR TONIGHT.
