Within a few weeks the present reballasting of the C., B. & C. railroad will have been completed and the Erie will unite with it in conducting the two lines from Uniondale to this city a« a double track system. This has been impossible in the past because the road bed of the C., B. &C. was not strong enough to carry the heavy Erie trains. Both roads realize what a great benefit it would be to each to run all trains on the C., B. & C. tracks going out of the city and to run trains of both roads on the Erie tracks when coming into the city. It seems to be probable, too, that the Erie and C„ B. & C. may unite to make a union depot. —Huntington Democrat The G. R. & I. southbound train was ■one hour late this afternoon.

Bakersfield, Cal., Nov. 30. —Interest here is at fever heat over the story told by Augustina Desuerre, aged 16 years, who was recovered from Los Angeles, wnere her mother had sought her for some time. The girl says spiritualistic influences were employed to take her from her home and induce her to go to Los Angeles with Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dayton. Subsequently Dayton’s wife went to Santa Rosa. Mrs. Clement, mother of the girl, located her daughter in Los Angeles. Dayton took alarm and went to Oakland. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and he will be brought here for trial. The girl asserts that she objected to accompanying the Daytons south, but that the woman produced spirit rappings, table tippings and other spiritualistic phenomena, and frightened her into accompanying the pair. During her stay in the south, the girl says, she was kept in a condition of abject fear of evil which would be done her by the spirits if she deserted the Daytons. Until her mother appeared, she asserts, she was unable to break away from her dread of the unseen influerces. o SOME PROPOSED NEW LAWS. Improvements In Primary Law—Qualification for Voters. Indianapolis, Dec. I—Representative Fred I. King, of Wabash, while in the city today, said he would introduce at the next session of the legislature a primary election law. “I have not yet worked out the details of the bill,’’ said he, “but it will be similar to the one I introduced two years ago. It will provide for the nomination of state candidates as well as county and township candidates. It will provide also for a first and second choice vote. Thus, in the event that there should be no election of some one candidate, or possibly more than one candidate, . the election would fall to the highest on second choice. Adolph Seidensticker, representative from Marion i county, will introduce an amendment i to change that section of the state i constitution which prescribes quali- 1 fications for voters. This amendment < in order to be effective must receive 1 a favorable vote in two sessions of the ; general assembly and then must go i before the people and be adopted at i a popular election. * o- ’ The sale of granite ware at the i Schafer store continues to be an event ; worth your notice. Many ladles in ’ this locality are securing the nicest i line of kitchen goods they ever owned 1 and at less money than they usually pay for ordinary articles. 1

P- 1., Oct. 5, 1908. | Dear Father:—l got your last threeweeks’ letters in a bunch when 11 got up to Cebu, the other day, and I will now answer. I expect to get I $1,600 before many months and I like ■ i here. I can't spend money much to my credit here. Last Friday after waiting all week, w e started from Loay. The boat was tn leave at 7:00 but like all Spaniards, the captain and the agent exchanged drinks until 2 P- m., little thinking or caring that we would soon be bringing over 200 or 300 laborers and be having hundreds of tons of supplies and that these delays would kill him with us. It took us three and one-half hours to go sixty miles. In the meantime two chino passengers opened up a gambling den and cleaned the crew and nearly all of the passengers out of their money. The chinos are the big gamblers of the east, and they certainly do the act up brown. Cheat everybody in both honest, and dishonest deals. The Philippines or any | Oriental can buy cheaper than the American, so we always give our money to some of the native servants and have them do the jewing, thereby gaining 50 to 100 per cent. When we got to Cebu we landed in a banco and couldn’t find a carriage or dray anywhere, and we had all of our luggage to see to. Cebu is a city of 100,000 and yet like most other eastern cities there is no regular dray line or livery stable in the town. Each native liveryman has one or two horses and a tartinalia. These tartinalias are cab-like two-wheeled carts with room for two men in each. These cabs are paid 20c gold an hour. All light baggage | s hauled in these tartinalias. Heavier baggage is hauled in cariboo carts, heavy carts hauled by a caribou pictures of which I will send later.

We shouldered our baggage and with the help of two natives, carried r it a mile and a half. We finally got to bed. four of us in grimy cots (our s own) in a room 20x20 feet. We got up at 6:00 o’clock Sunday morning, i awakened by the chimes and firecrackers. We then knew that there i was a fieste (celebration) on. We dressed and went down to the only eating house in town (at the back > end of a saloon) for breakfast. By this time the parades were everywhere; everything was decorated. Imagine our surprise when we found it was the birthday of some saint that - would never be thought of in America. At nine o’clock we phoned out to camp 6 and got orders to come here today. What we thought can > better be imagined than said. All of our shoes had the soles torn off in I Bohole from cliff climbing. The last r trip had been thirty days and all but ! a few days of it had been fourteen > hours a day of hard work. Our clothes ! were torn, the instruments out of ad- > justment, the dishes broken and our- . selves nearly worn out, and we were i given thirty hours to start on another mountain trip of twenty-one days. I got a fetecha cart (a flat board with two wheels under it) and rode to camp 6, fourteen miles up the mountains and got a new wardrobe. I got back at 9:00 that evening and learned that as soon as this trip was done I was to go over to Behole as Asst. Supt. or chief engineer second man on that road, whatever you wish to call it. We came here at 11:20 by rail, leaving all our cooking utensils, etc., at Cebu to follow us on the 5 o’clock train. When we got here (a town of 50,000) we found that there was one place in town to get something to eat, a saloon with a center table in the barroom, where four men could sit down at once. There were eight Americans ahead of us, and we waited. In the meantime we gave our four Philippines and the one chino cook some money and told 1 them to hunt up their own food. When i it came our turn, the bread was out and when we were half way through

the other stuff gave out, too. We asked if they didn’t have something else, but the Philippine waiter told uh that the boss had gone to Cebu to buy “chow” and would be back that night. When the afternoon train came in we got our provisions, but not our luggage and so we were stuck. Not a thing to cook with, not a cot, blanket, tent or anything else and not a hotel in town. We went back to the boarding house for supper and told the landlord our fix, and so two of the fellows slept on the floor in the saloon and a man in the bureau of posts took the chief of party and myself to his house. The chief slept in a steamer chair and I put in a sleepless night on a bamboo corduroy bed with a canvass under me and a curtain over me. This morning the transitman went back 1 to Cebu to see after the baggage and about 1:00 our stuff came in. We got our men and the cook busy and now we have everything running camp like. Such is the life of a civil .engineer in the roads department, but after all it is great sport and one has a good time. The above was a little severe, but we have such as that so much that we take it as a matter of course. Well, it is time I was in bed. So long, BERT.

Washington, Dec. 1.-lt developed that the senate has. or thinks it has, a quarrel with Secretary Root over i the manner in which the new peace pact with Japan has been formed, and as the first step in what promises to be an animated row it is probable a resolution wil! be reported next week out of the senate committee on foreign relations calling upon the state department for all the papers and other information bearing upon the subject. It i? by adopting such a resolution as this that the senate usually starts a fight with the executive branch of the government. The senate sees in the new agreement, or “exchange of notes,” another executive usurpation. The constitution o f the United States makes the senate a part of the treaty-making power and provides no treaty shall be effective unless it is ratified by the senate. It grates on the nerves of the senators that they should be excluded, contrary to the peace and dignity of the constitution, from any part in the epochal ' diplomatic achievement just concludi ed. The state department Is under ’ suspicion of having stolen a march on the senate. i s Washington, Dec. I.—Postmaster f General Meyer in his annual report t states that the total expenditures of r the department for the year were f $208,351,886.15, while the receipts I amounted to $191,478,663.41, showing 3 a deficit of $16,873,222.74. This deficit '- is admitted to be the largest in the s history of the postoffice department, e but the postmaster holds If the panic II had not intervened and if the wages •- of postal employes had not been inn creased there would have been a sury plus of receipts over expenditures of 11 $2,234,563.85.

Washington, Dec. I—As a result of the business panics of last year the railroads of the country have permitted their equipment to get into bad shape, and, according to the interstate commerce commissioners, there will be a big shortage in cars, locomotives and general rolling stock as soon as the revival of industries is a little further advanced. The same officials say that the roads propose to take advantage of this situation by making sweeping advances in their rates.

Indictments one, two and three, as ■ returned by the recent grand jury : were placed on the docket, in circuit s court. They are in blank, the names being placed on after the return is ’ made. Indictment number one is i against Charles Wolfe and is entitled : State of Indiana vs. Charles Wolfe. : indictment for assault and battery, with intent to kill and murder. As i prepared, it is in three counts, the ■ first alleging that on October Stb, • 1908, in the county of Adams and State of Indiana, said Charles Wolfe did then and there feloniously, purposely and with malice aforethought in a rude, insolent and angry manner, unlawfully touch, strike, beat and wound one, Jacob Mangold, with premeditated malice to kill and murder him contrary to the form of the statute and contrary to the peace and dignity of the state of Indiana. The second count alleges that the assault was made with a club, used upon the head of said Mangold. The third count gays that tne assault was made by Wolfe with his fists and also with a piece of timber, three-fourths of an inch thick, 3% inches wide and three feet, ten inches and threefourths of an inch long. Sheriff Meyer went out Tuesday p. m. to arrest one of the others indicted and on his way back will stop and serve the papers on Wolfe. The latter is under the charge of murder now and is out under $5,000 bond, which will hold until arrested on this charge. It is likely that the charge of murder will be withdrawn after his arrest for attempt.

Mrs. Elizabeth Allen left on an early car for Fort Wayne, where she will be at the bedside of Mrs. William Ault, who lies at St. Joseph hospital dangerously ill with hopes abandoned for her recovery. Relating of the illness of this aged lady, diverts the minds of the people back to an accident which happened at Fort Wayne several weeks ago, tn which the afflicted woman’s husband was ushered into the eternal world by the deadly sweep of a railroad engine. Arm in arm they were returning from church, when, like a flash, a Nickel Plate engine struck them forcibly. Mr. Ault succumbing enroute to the hospital, while Mrs. Ault sustained a broken limb and internal injuries. Since the accident she has helplessly lain in the hospital, taking what nourishment she could. Her health has gradually declined and she grows weaker with the passing of each day, until the spark of life is all but extinct. The untimely demise of her husband has contributed to the mental strain of the aged woman. Mr. and Mrs. Ault for many years resided in Decatur. o Miss Ida Gay went to Fort Wayne this morning to make a brief visit with friends and relatives.

Baxter, of Auburn, Ind., started off a postal card communication with the words "Discredited Sir,” he did not know he was violating a federal law. Baxter sent the card through the postofiice at Auburn, addressed to a man with whom he had had a quarrel. The recipient of the card, when he saw the words with which Baxter had addressed him,made complaint to the federal authorities and the arrest and the subsequent indictment of Baxter followed. In addition to the “discredited sir" Baxter used other language on the card which tended to injure the recipient. Baxter wa s arraigned before Judge Anderson in the federal court yesterday, and entered a plea of guilty to the violation of the postal laws. He was fined $lO and costs. —o David Studabaker was again reported about the same today and this is the report that may be expected for several days, as Is usuai in all cases of typhoid.
