red haired gentleman to assume that Joli since tho United States became a free nation. The other was Thomas Jefferson and if the new man with his drooping mouth and serious face, measures up to that founder of democracy he will have more than made good. We don't like to bragg about it but of the more than 5,000 prisoners in the Leavenworth federal prison there is not a single reporter or news editor. The warden declares he is having much difficulty in publishing a prison paper because of the lack of experienced newspaper men and not a man responded to a request for volunteers to taekje the Job. The warning is given that newspaper men may walk in the straight and narrow path for with such a demand for services, justice might be strained to provide editors and reporters. John Whitfield, the proved murderer of Patrollman Dennis Griffin of Cleveland, Ohio, whose sensational flight across five states with a fourteen year old girl from Fort Wayne caused much interest, was yesterday found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. The people had expected a death sentence but three members of the just refused that and the verdict of guilty with a plea for mercy resulted. His crime was heartless and his life a book of errors and his punishment should be severe. Os all the needs hero there is none more urgent than the providing for comfort stations and instead of asking for seats in the court house yard and other things not so important we should all be urging for the real improvement. It can be done at slight cost by building a small station on Liberty Way. There is a large unused cistern there which would provide most of the excavation and this could be connected with the court

bouse basement at a small cost? There is paver an evening or a Sunday that inquiries are not made by touring strangers and Its a sure sign of slowness in a community when those matters are not taken care of. You never heard complimentary remarks about a city whose court bouse yard is used as a public loafing place for It is impossible to have this and have an attractive luwn. You have heard nice things uud probably said them yourself about those places where the public square is beautiful to look at. Which do you want? A petition has been filed with the commissioners asking that seats be placed in tho front and rear of the court house. That means an ugly and unattractive appearing central point of town for its impossible to keep up the yard when the seats are pulled about and broken up. If we want a park down town lets build one but don't mar the appearance of the court house yard to secure it. Tomorrow between the hours of three and four when the last sad rites are being conducted at Marion, Olrfb for the late president, this community will also pay tribute to his memory. Business will cease and a union service will be held at the Methodist church where Dr. Harry G. Hill of Indianapolis will give the memorial address. Bells will toll at that hour, the court house gong sounding fifty-eight taps, one for each year of the life of the departed president. The county and city offices will be closed and practically every business will stop for a jshort period at least. At this office the Daily Democrat will go to press immediately after lunch and the office will be closed from 2:45 until the services are over, as a mark of respect to the late president.

I Going, Going, Sold! Notes From The Reppert Auction School J Will somebody kindly furnish Tennessee with some timber to whittle ctn during class study? To make a long story short. Col. Gardner lost his head when he got up to make a speech before the class Tuesday. Lawrence Graham thought he was the best dressed man in school Wednesday when he bought a new every day shirt. The best pleased man in school yesterday was Col. Garrett. He received a letter from his good wife. One of the students from Illinois wasn’t as large as he wanted to be so he wore Col. Gorrell's coat. He looked like a real man. Everybody is working hard to mak,e the big community sale at Bellmont Park a success on August 16. The students and faculty of the school will do the selling without a commission.

Painful Rheumatic Swellings Disappear Discoverer Tell* Druggists Not To Take a Cent of Anyone’s Money Unless Allenrhu Completely Banishes All Rhumatic Pains and Twinges. . Mr. James IT. Allen, suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless und unable to work. He finally decided, after year? of ceaseless study, that no one cun be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called ALLENRHU, to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferrs everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists everywhere to dispense ALLENRHU with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment. The Holthouse Drug Co. can supply you.

LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of •'Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair no naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a iponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it* becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

“Uncle Billy” Blackburn Loved By Everybody (Continued from page one) days previous to the election, but he continued to improve and said “I will be able to get to the polls to vote.” He would not consent to take out Absent Voters’ papers and vote at home. Apparently his health improved and <>u election morning an automobile was sent to his home to take him to his precinct voting place in the Library building on Third street. Just as Mr. Blackburn reached the door of the election booth he suffered a slight stroke and was rushed home, fearing that the stroke would be fatal. He did not get to vote and he became too sick during the day to be taken back to the polls. His heart was l>roken x and “Uncle Billy” never quite forgot about the vote he lost. “Uncle Billy,” as lias been said before, was a friend to everybody and he believed in paying respect to the dead. For years he attended the funeral services held for every man. woman and child in this city and it made no difference to him if it was in the cold of winter or in the heat of the summer, “Uncle Billy” was there. He was absolutely honest and would not have kept a newspaper if it had blown on his porch. In this regards we recall the following instance: One evening when the Daily Democrat was late in going to press, “Uncle Billy" came to this office and] obtained a paper, which we were glad to give to him He informed us that lye “should toll the carrier boy not to leave a paper at his house that evening.” We neglected to tell the newsie and he left a paper on the porch. The next day “Uncle Billy” came into the office with the paper which we gave him the evening before, saying that we “forget to tell his carrier boy and that he received two papers and had only paid for one.” • Mr. Blackburn's funeral will be held at 10:30 Friday morning from the Presbyterian church, and if all his friends are able to attend, the house of worship will not begin to hold the hundreds who are planning to pay their last respect to the mort'al remains of one who for years was a beloved character in this city and county. His body may be viewed at I his home on South Sixth street.
