It might be Just as well for President Taft and some others if they would get down to business now. They still have six weeks and they ought to do something before March 4th if it is necessary to call a special session. The New York legislature is in a dead-lock on the senatorial selection. The democrats of that state are about as pig-headed as could be found anywhere; in fact we don’t believe they raise such an inferior crop anywhere. The first victory in that state in nearly twenty years is marked by a scrap between Tammany, its friends and foes, that threatens disaster. Mr. Sheehan is Tammany’s man, at least Boss Murphy is for him. Mr. Shepherd is a corporation lawyer. The latter’s men bolted the caucus when they couldn’t win and the republican bosses began to smile. If they are not careful the democrats of the Empire state will furnish the salve that will heal all the bruises and mend all the broken joints of the g. o. p. MEETING. The Adams County Detective Association will hold a special meeting on Saturday, January 21st in the K. of P. hall. Meeting at 1:30 o'clock p. m. Mr. James Tumbleson will address the meeting.

JUNKETERS HERE Columbia City Officials ' Looked Over Our Electric Plant Today. ‘ EIGHT IN THE PARTY i I 1 Will Likely Install a Day Current in Their City in Near Future. Martin Mylott, city engineer and electric superintendent had his hands full today, he being the receiving host, for a party of business men from Columbia City, who came here to look over our electric plant and secure pointers regarding the day current. That city is contemplating seriously the installing of a day current at their plant and the junketing trip today was for the purpose of investigating how the thing works here. They were shown over the city by Mr. Mylott and enjoyed the occasion, or at least so they claimed. They stated that most likely the day current In Columbia City would be established, unless the cost would exceed the benefits which would be derived. The party here today was accompanied by Mr. J. E. Hall, of the Fort Wayne Electric Works, a very pleasant gentleman, who knows well his business. The i Columbia City men were.F. T. Schultz, city superintendent; City Attorney E. K. Strong and Councilman Harry Brown, John Feit, George Snyder, Fred Schinder and Henry Nuxall. The latter was a former resident here, leaving in the sixties and this was his first visit here since.
