ARRIVED LATE LAST NIGHT , Started This Morning on the Firet Run to the City effort Wayne. The first interwrtsan oar to arrive up town, reached the Old Adams County Bank corner at about ten o’clock last night Aboard it was President W. H. FBedderjohann, several Westinghouse employees and a number ®f local citizens. At eight o’clock , this morning the car left the power hoase on its first run to Font Wayne, it being necessary according to the terms of their franchise that they run a car into that city by noon today. The first car fitted for service and now in use is a modern express and baggage car. A passenger coach will be attached to this and regular runs begin an a few days. In the meantime more cars are being fitted with motors as fast as passible and the regular runs will be announced in a few The Fort Wayne & Springfield fine will soon be in operation from fills city north. It has been a long, hard battle, iin which “Billy” Fleflderjohann showed courage and ability and here’s hoping that every car wSLI be crowded. -— o ARE TO BE MERGED INTO ONE The Methodist* are Talking of Concentrating Their Forces. . A plan whltfti as been under consideration for some time by the Methodists of the North Indiana conference is meeting with favor, and at the annual conference will be presented. It is to merge into one all Methodist churches in cities the size of Anderson and in towns where there are more than one Methodist church. In Anderson there are five Methodist churches, First church, Noble Street, Indiana Avenue, Madison Avenue and Park Place ail supporting pastors. Sunday schools and. the church societies and .missions. The proposition is to have ope regular pastor at First church . where services will be held. The other churches to be conducted by local preachers and where Sunday school and other services will be held. The ! same plan to apply to other places jof more than one church. Ed Murray received a telephone message today from Fort Wayne, stating that his wife who is confined in the Hope hospital, was getting along in nice shape and that if nothing elso set in, she would be able to be brought i home next Monday. This will no doubt news to Mrs. Murray’s I many friends. * ;

A WORD 'CONCERNING EACH’ - f Good Records Made by the Retiring Men—The Deputies are Named. I With the arrival of 1907, several county offices change hands and two officials succeed themselves for anoth- i er term. Those who retire are John C. Moran as prosecuting attorney, Albert Butler as sheriff, Elias Crist as county assessor and John S. Falk as coroner. They are succeeded by H. B. Heller, Eli Meyer, G. W. Gentis, and J. C. Grandstaff respectfully. L. , L. Baumgartner succeeds himself as surveyor and William Miller as com- ( missioner, beginning their new terms ( today. John C. Moran who retires from the prosecutor’s office has a clean and enviable record as a public official. He began his duties bvember 19, 1901, serving over six years, and having been elected three times. He has been a careful, wise, industrious and courteous official and retires from office with hosts of friends who admire him for having done his duty, manfully. He is a lawyer of ability, whose future success is assured. His successor, Henry B. Heller, is an attorney of ability, honesty and integrity. He is a graduate of the Decatur public schools and of the Indiana Law school, has studied law for twelve years and for five years past has been associatlod with his father, Judge D. D. Heller. He will give the public his very best services. * Albert A. Butler who has completed four years service as county Sheriff, has proven a faithful public servant. Twice elected he has proven to the people that their confidence was not misplaced. During his official career he has admitted to the jail 773 prisoners, has taken five prisoners to the Plainfield reformatory, sixteen to Jeffersonville and three to Michigan City. Not a prisoner has escaped after being arrested. Evei;y warrant for w a felony has been served and his records show that but ten warrants for misdemeanors are on hand, a splendid record. Mr. Butler will at? once take lip his residence at his new home on North Second street and will probably enter into business in this city after a few months rest. Eli Meyers, who became sheriff today is a capable and popular citizen who will transact all the duties of his office in a manner that will satisfy the scrutiny of the public. He is a native of French township, has been in business in this city for a number of years and is known all over the county. Elias Crist, who yesterday completed -his work as county assessor, has likewise proven an efficient officer. His duties have been performed in an honest, fearless manner and he carries with him, as he retires from office, a clear conscience of duties well performed. George W. Gentis, the new assessor, hails from Hartford township. While his health has been rather poor for several weeks, it is believed he will, be able to care for the duties of his office. He is qualified and one of the best citizens of the county. John S. Falk, the well known druggist, who served as coroner, is another retiring officer. He has transacted the business of that position as he does all his duties, in a straightforward and honest manner. His place will now be occupied by Dr. J. C. Grandstaff of Preble, a practicing physician, a popular young man and one who will prove himself worthy the confidence reposed, in him. L. L. Baumgartner, who continues as surveyor, succeeding himself. Os unassuming manner, but with an ability for work rarely found, he has proven himself the right man for the right place. His office will be well cared for during the next two years is a safe prediction. . ~ , William Miller, commissioner from the second district, begins another three-years term today and his acquaintances from every nook of this great county feel that their interests will be well cared for in his hands. | Dallas Butler began his services this morning as deputy sheriff, having been appointed by Sheriff Meyer to that responsible position. He served for four years in a similar capacity and proved himself a brave and worthy officer. His services will prove valuable to Mr. Meyer. i Prosecuting —Attorney—Heller - an- i Bounces his selection of deputies, Emil j Franz b ving been selected for Berne, | and Jacob Butcher for Geneva. Both i men are experienced and capable and entitled to all the honors and other ( returns attached thereto. < Beginning with today, Mr. Herbert 1 Lachot becomes deputy treasurer in > ! the office of his father, County Treasurer John F. Lachot. He is a young I man of good habits, well qualified and well liked. Miss Bertha Voglewede, who retires after five years service, has been a most effleinet and popular j deputy. Samuel Doak made a business trip I to Marion today.

PURE FOOD LAW OBSERVED are in Hot Water—Culver Boys at Jamestown—More Safety in Travel. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—The ship , subsidy advocates have abandoned all hope of getting out of committee the original Gallinger subsidy bill or anything substantially like it. They have learned positively during the holiday recess that Speaker Cannon is opposed to cargo subsidies and they are are. now willing to agree to any bill that the speaker will approve. The latest proposition is to bring out a bill providing mail subsidies for South America, Cuba and Mexico and both mail and cargo subsidies for the Philippines and the Orient. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—The secretary of agriculture was busy today answering questions from manufacturers and dealers in food stuffs, who at the last moment desired additional information with reference to the pure food bill, which goes into effect today. The department’s advices indicate that the law will be very generally observed, notwithstanding the machinery with which to enforce it will not be in running order for several weeks. The requirement that manufacturers put a label on every package of food products showing in plain terms what the contents consist of will be enforced to the letter. WASHINGTON, Jan..—A good many postmasters in the Eighth and Eleventh Indiana districts whose terms of office will expire this coming spring, are wondering whether they will have to look to Representatives Cromer and Fred Landis, the present congressmen or to one or both of the senators from the State for indorsement for reappointment. It is pretty well understood that after the Democratic representatives take office, March 4, the senators will each take supervision of one of the districts and the appointments will be made on the endorsement of both the senators. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—Advices from Jamestown, Va., say that the Culver Military Academy of Culver, Ind., will send its entire body of several hundred students to encamp for the summer at the Jamestown exposition. This body of students was a feature of the St. Louis exposition. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—According to a bulletin issued by the United States Geological Survey, today, the total mineral production in Indiana last year was valued at 141,781,678. The State ranks eleventh in the amount of its mineral production. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—The fright- • ful slaughter of men, women and children on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad Sunday night, within sight of the national capital, will no doubt hasten legislation by congress designed to throw BiJltioiis 1 r«fegaarde ab'ut travel <m ne TH pro-ddeut has repo’-icdly aslred T-r come legislation, but congress has not been disposed .< heed bis call.

Train dispatchers all over the country are organizing a movement to demand an increase in their salaries. They contend that there are a number of employees of the railroads who receive comfortable salaries and whose duties are comparatively easy, while the dispatchers are hard worked and are not even paid fair wages. The managers of the interurban are experiencing considerable trouble in making their first run. Everything has seemingly been in readiness for several days, but at just the moment thqy wanted to start, something bucks. They, however, expect to run a car up street either late this afternoon or this evening. LEGAL ADVERTISING SPECIAL MEETING OF ADAMS COUNTY COUNCIL.
