The ice men will In the event of a continuation of the present cold spell, have an opportunity to fill their storage houses. The Maring-Hart Glass company suffered a $60,000 fire loss early Saturday morning when its big bottle factory in Dunkirk was almost totally destroyed. The right shift of workmen had just gone off duty when the blaze was discovered in the engine room rapidly eating its way throughout the entire plant. The supposition is that' the conflagration was started by an I overheated box in one of the big elec- 1 tnc dynamos. The factory has a ▼ekly payroll of about $4,000 and is s big loss to Dunkirk.

Fritzinger et al Saturday after-

noon. The suit is one wherein the plaintiff s demand SI,OOO on a street assessment, and was filed a year ago. At that time Mr. Fritzinger was assessed $1,600.

The defendans filed an answer in six paragraphs, and to this the plaintiffs filed a demurrer which was argued Saturday and was overruled by the court.

Washington, Dec. 7. —Representa- ' tive Champ Clark, of Missouri, was > chosen minority leader of the house of representatives Saturday night at a caucus of the Democrats. Mr. Clark’s election w r as unanimous. His name was suggested to the caucus by the retiring minority leader, Senator-elect John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi. Resolutions were adopted thanking Mr. Williams for his services to the party on the floor of the house. In accepting the leadership Mr. Clark said: “I am profundly grateful for the great honor just conferred on me—an honor doubly prized because of the unanimity with which it comes. I hope to discharge the numerous and difficult duties of the position so as to not cause you to regret the action of this hour, but I cannot do it, no man can, without the cordial co-operation and constant assistance of his fellows. This co-operation and constant assistance of his fellows. I now invoke in the interest of the country and a general historic party. These interests are largely committeed to our hands. To promote them by securing unity of action requires some self-abnegation, some yielding of opinion, some sacrifice of ease on the part of every democratic member. By conference, by pulling together, by regular and punctual attendance on the sessions of the committees and of the house, by sinking personal jealousies by mutual con-

THE ROSE LAW IN OHIO Fifty-Five Counties Out of EightyEight Are Now Dry. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 7. Fifty-five of Ohio’s eighty-eight counties have voted “dry” and seven “wet.” This is the result of six months’ work on the part of the Ohio Anti-Saloon League since the Rose county option.law went into effect. Os the fifty-five counties in which the saloons have been voted out, five went dry under an old law. As little progress was made by the anti-saloon followers under that law, it was displaced by the new law, which has been successful. Voting will be held in practically all the remaining twenty-six counties within the next few months. The counties remain dry or wet, according to the vote, for two years. In point pf population, the state is nearly half dry now. In point of area it is two-thirds dry. Most of the dry counties do not contain large cities ’ About 1,730 saloons have been voted out, which is estimated to be one-third the number in the state before the county option voting began.

The latest spree of William Hill of Pleasant Mills, occurring last Saturday, has not only caused his confinement in the county jail, but from what could be gleaned from the remarks made by his wife in court Monday he will be bereft of a wife’s devotion fiom now henceforth. As related by Mrs. Hill, Bill’s crusade of Saturday was a bit of nerve racking work. According to her statements his physique surrounded a large amount of whisky and he went home Saturday when he gave vent to his feelings in a manner that was not in keeping with the views of his better half. As a consequence she ordered him from the house. Not to be so easily outdone, ho proceeded to a hardware store, where he secured a number of keys, finding among them one which would unlock the door. Effecting entrance to the house, he started a disturbance in which, says Mrs. Hill, he threatened to kill her. The woman filed an affidavit before Squire Smith charging public intoxication and “Bill” was arrested Saturday night. He was given ah earing Monday and at first entered a plea of not guilty. His wife had come to town and was here to see that he was taken care of. and after a conference between the two, the defendant plead guilty, drawing a fine of $5 and costs. In default of which he was taken to jail. The prosecuting witness declared she would place Hill under a peace bond, but as yet no action in this matter has been made.

Anderson, Ind., Dec. 7.—Governorelect Marshall was the orator at the memorial services of the Elks- lodge at the Grand opera house yesterday afternoon. Tne ceremonies were presided over by Exalted Ruler Fred Van Nuys. The address to the members of the lodge was delivered by George M. Ballard. Mr. Marshall spoke in part as follows: “In human life we sometimes go afield to look at those who stand in place of show or pomp 01 have power in life. They fill the measure of their purpose and plan, yet, after all, it is the lowlands of humanity in the great level of our common brotherhood, where grows the grains of lov e and loyalty, of faith and duty which strengthen all of us. Great statesmen without great people behind them never built vast empires. It is the business of every age to be as much interested in the growth progress and development of the common man, the average citizen of the community, as to be carried away by the glamor of those who think they lead. This is an age of fraternal organization. There is much of evil in the world, much dishonesty in public affairs, much vice and wrong in private life, and yet I hardly think among the average men of America of today there could be found a man so bad, who, had he lived fifteen centuries ago, would not have been deemed worthy of cannonization by the church. The > mission of fraternity is to give all men 1 the right point of view touching his 1 fellowmen —to put man in his brother’s 1 place.” An informal reception was I tendered Mr. and Mrs. Marshall at I the parlors of the Elks’ Home after ) the ceremonies. Mr. and Mrs. Mar- ) shall attended services at the First Presbyterian church in the morning. ) and have been entertained during their ) stay here at the home of Mr. and ) Mrs. J. J. Netterville.

cessions, we can accomplish much for the welfare of the country and the strengthening of the party of which we are members, for, let it never be forgotten that he serves his party best who serves his country well. I shall confer with you as frequently as possible and invite suggestions on the principle that in a multitude of counsel there is wisdom. Each member should make himself thoroughly familiar with the business pertaining to his committee, and should be in the house to look after it. I have no policy other than to carry out your wishes. Truth to tell, being elected to fill out the unexpired term of my brilliant and long-time friend, Hon. John Sharp Williams, who voluntarily relinquishes the burdens and honors of the position, I feel that it is really his term and his arrangements will be carried out so far as possible. On political questions he and 1 have agreed as nearly as two men who think for themselves can agree. The chief thought in my mind on this occasion and always is that in unity there is strength and that we must stand together if we would increase the influence of the democratic party as a factor in public affairs. I feel that I now enjoy the friendship of every member here tonight and of every member who has aright to be here tonight. The fondest wish that I could entertain for myself is that on the fourth of March I will have as many friends as I have on the fifth of December.”

Her body enveloped by creeping paralysis and the infirmities of old age contributing to the seriousness of the ailment which foretokened inevitable death, Mrs. Hattie, the widow of seven months of the late Abraham Beery, breathed her last at the home of her niece, Mrs. Geo. Roop Monday morning at 4:20 o’clock. Though a sufferer for years the decedent has withstood the ravages of a complication of ailments with wonderful vitality and it was not until the inception of the creeping paralysis that there were evidences of her yearly demise. This dread disease, however, is deadly in its sweep and but few young survive its attendant effects much less a woman whose ago numbers in the three score ten. The deceased, at one time the wife of Alex Eicher, became the wife of Mr. Beery about eight years ago, subsequent to the death of her first husband, who was, prior to his death one of Adams county’s wealthiest residents. She was born in Ohio, April 29, 1838. Most poignant sorrow follows the death of such an estimable woman and besides a multitude of grief stricken friends the following share in the bereavement: two sisters, Mrs. David Springer, of Van Wert, and Mrs. H. Steele, of Pleasant Mills; two brothers, Jesse Coffmann, a retired farmer of Kansas and another brother who is a banker in California. The funeral services were held from the Pleasant Mills M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, the cortege leaving Decatur at 12:30 o’clock.

The stockholders of the Decatur Packing company held a meeting at the office of the company Saturday evening, where they hard the report read of the business of the past two years, the same being highly satisfactory to all concerned.
