We saw you slipping down town this morning, stepping along so carefully that it looked like you were afraid you was going to break something, and we couldn't help but wonder if you had been that careful with your New Year resolution. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis has condemned Tomlinson hall. He says that it is a fire-trap and very dangerous. It has been the home ot all the state conventions and biggest political meetings of the state for many years. The mayor will try to secure the addition of fire escapes and another exit immediately. The Indianapolis Star today began its contest to ascertain who will be the popular candidate for president so far as Indiana is concerned. Similar contests over the country have resulted usually in Roosveelt being the ' successful one. Such a result in Indiana would probably put the Fair- | banks-Hemenway faction in the hole, as the state has been promised to Taft. Marion Las another murder. Clark Willicuts, a rich old citizen, was called to the door Saturday night and shoy by a 22-year-old mna who says he has been ‘sticking up" people ior four years. His name is Cecil For-' dyce and his home is at Wabash. He had an accomplice, who got away. Marion has had a number of murders recently and it is about time to make an example of some one. Chris Egley of Berne was elected I republican republican county chairman today, defeating P. L. Andrews by a vote of nineteen to thirteen, while L. A. Graham lost the secretaryship, Mi. Lehman, also of Berne, being the favorite. Looks as though the headquarters had been moved to the southern town. Early returns indicated that the Andrews slate would go through, but there seems to have been a slip somewhere along the line. The preeinet elections Saturday evening were contested to the last ditch, the closest being iji “A" of the First ward, w here the vote stood nineteen for E .B. Adams and twenty for S. W. Peterson. It was claimed that only thirty-eight votes had been cast and the mystery which is now being solved is where did that, one come from? BUFFET FOR SALE Inquire of Mrs. John Potter. No. 9th St. 19tf
