When this snow goes off and the frost comes out of the ground and a tew spring rains come on, there is ' likely to be more water going along ] the St. Mary's riv c r than has been ' seen for sc,era’ ..ears. The men onthe factory are arranging to take • care of things in that territory. Charged wire, tonspiring to obstruct and monopolize the cash register bus- 1 iness in violation of the criminal pro- ( visions of the Sherman anti-trust law, the National Cash Register company ■ of Dayton will have to answer to, court. Thirty indictments against of filers and directors were returned at Cincinnati Thursday. President Taft will answer Colonel Roosevelt in a series of speches to be delivered between now and the last 0; March. He takes issue with the ex- ’ president on the i”’.tiative and referendum, the recall of judges, and other lines. He will speak in New York, ( Toledo, Chicago and other places and i it looks like a fight to a finish. 1 _ < Winchester will get the democratic congressional convention. It will be , a rousing old meeting, but without a ; ■ c t qf course, as John A. M. Adair, 1 whose record stands out as one of the best of all the statesmen in that body, will be renominated for a , fourth term without opposition. That he will be elected next November also goes without saying. He is the friend of every man in the district, no difference what his occupation. He is honest, has the ability and the people of Cue Eighth desire no change. Colonel Roosevelt, in his address at Columbus Wednesday, declared for the initiative and referendum, the recall, the selection of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. Now that's original dope, isn't it, for a great man to go before the people with! Why, when William J. Bryan originated these ideas and gave the'-., the colonel was the loudest in his cries of “populsim." "unsat'eness,'’ and now he is trying to ride into a third term on those very policies. It's a queer old world at best. According t' itie Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Special Clean up prices on Men and Boy's OVERCOATS Bargaineveryond of them, THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

leaders of the “old guard" who are now in control of the republican state organization hold ex-Senator Beveridge responsible for the trouble they are having in getting a Taft delegation. They think he will line up with Lee in the effort to secure a delegation ostensibly for Roosevelt, but really for Beveridge in the contingency that the former president finally concludes not tc go after the nom ination. Having made up their minds |to kill Beveridge off as a political I force, the “old guard" will leave no 'stone unturned to get a delegation 'that has no "progressive" taint.

An interesting amusement and also a source of profit was the picture gallery. One posed in front of the "camera" and then the “pictures were made while you waited,” these being comic pictures cut from magazines and pasted on a card. A penny a piece was charged for each picture, and it is said there were no two pictures of any one person alike, hut of course that is attributed to the change in pose.
