Any person who aids or abets sedition in, any way is guilty under the act. The law is contemplated for the suppres--8 sion of the reds and is urged by the i- [ department of justice. Such an act would go fat towards cleaning out the trouble now being agitated over the country, by the 1..W. W. and other similar organizations, meant to destroy the government, and should have the sincere support of every . I good citizen as we believe it will. The first steps towards a really greater Decatur were taken last ' night when the city council authorized the petitioning of the state tax board for the right to issue bonds totaling $140,000 tor the purpose ofj ( installing a modern 1,500 kilowatj] electric plant, assuring industries ] which come here sufficient power and I good service. The progressive ac-f tion of the council should attract the support of every citizen. The i v bonds will extend over a period of , twenty years and w ill not cost each ■ j tax payer to exceed twenty-five cental on each SI,OOO of your valuation, di-J minishing each year. It is a small s 1 c investment to assure the people of , this community the very highest grade of public service.

She was almost blown into the river, but escaped this calamity. However, her umbrella and hat got away from hi I and were picked up by some men and taken to Ogg’s store on First street. The little girl went on before it could be learned who she was, hence the things cannot be returned to her unless she calls at Ogg's or makes herself known otherwise, Mill Met ague was a business visit-1 or in the city this morning.
