township elestions in Brown, Montgomery and White counties. WESTERN OUION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Geneva & Celina company and made a compresensive statement before the board. Five copies of the 1911 acts are being sent to the members of the legislature, this being a custom of long standing, and one, too, that we presume will always be carried out. Since the various counties In the state have received their allottment the work of sending out the number assigned to the state institutions, libraries and courts is being taken up. This will soon be disposed of and then the work of the last legislature will be complete. There is a great demand for single copies of the acts, and it would seem at present writing that a second edition will be necessary if this demand is supplied. This demand comes from the fact that there was some important legislation enacted at this session, for instance there is the new constitution, the registration, corrupt practices, Proctor, local option and regulation, besides many important acts relating to schools, public health, etc. Senator Kern is expected home this week for a few days' visit with his family. His coming is in no way being taken advantage of by his friends to add to the boom started for him for the presidency. Senator Kern himself is giving this matter no serious thought. On the other hand he is serious in his desire to see Governor Marshall a formidable candidate, and it is not unlikely that while the junior senator is at home, that he will set off the fireworks for a genuine, blown-in-the-bottle Marshall presidential boom. Many of the governor's friends are not only becoming impatient but insistant that the time is ripe for the Indiana democracy to declare themselves. They want the word to g< out to the world at large, that the Indiana democrats intend to organize every state in the union, and to orgnize them in behalf of Indiana's governor for president. They not only want the word to go out, but they want such an organization made, made, too, regardless of the time it takes or the cost, L. G. E. THE CENSUS REPORT.

At 5 o'clock there was a tempting luncheon in two courses and after this the "shower.' The gifts, wrapped, were placed in a large basket, tastefully trimmed in ribbons in dainty bride's colors, and the basket placed before the honored one, who unwrapped each parcel, bringing forth one after the other, many beautiful and useful gifts for the new home.
