The bird man is not in sight, and lorn all indications he will not be for some days to come. He is still wandering around in New York state, bumping into trees, fences and tele- j g-aph poles. President Taft is receiving a warm welcome in the west, even Kansas, with her swarms of insurgents and, standpatters,, having opened their j arms in a joyous welcome. He is the president now, and as such, is entitled to all the respect shown him. It has been discovered that a Kansas man who died recently with th* 3 reputation that he always spoke out what he thought, was over six feet iti height and weighed 290 pounds. We can i see that it required much courage for him to say things when ’ e wanted to. ~ 1 The Indianapolis Star has taken ie sue with the prohibition and anti-sa loon league and now comes squarely out as against "state-wide prohibition.' They ought to land somewhere soon, as they have been on about every side of the liquor question imaginable. Os course there isn't any politics in their position. The Indianapolis boosters are coming Wednesday morning from 8:30 to j 9: 00. It won't hurt anything to boost for this occasion.

They will have with them the Indianapolis News band, fifty pieces, which will give a concert while here. A committee should meet the special train at Fort Wayne. FIREMEN, NOTICE!
