■ . . . 9 Bluffton, Indiana, Oct 16.—(Spec- ' Jal to Daily Democrat)—lt begins to look as though the fight made here agaisnt the Indiana Lighting company entering this city will soon be over, with the result that the gas company will get in without any ser- . ious trouble or law suits. The com- > puny s owns the franchise granted to the\old Deltrlch syndicate for natural gas end claimed the right to serve the people with artificial gas under th'la franchise. This right was disputed by. Mayor Hamilton, several councihnen and others with the re- - suit that another company was organized here with the supposed Indention of putting in a plant unless

- tion in the price, use of alleys in- ) stead of streets and a few other > things. This failed to frighten the Indiana as was expected and they } kept on building the line here from . Kingsland, the same being now practically complete. Last night at the . council meeting the Indiana people , offered a new franchise, and sug- [ gested that the fight on the fran- , chise as to whether or not they have , a perpetual right to furnish either natural or artificial gas be postponed for twenty-five years. This carried by a vote of three to two, and the, franchise resolution was advanced to. third reading. An effort Was mdde' to put it on final passage, hut this was postponed to the next meeting r

r -^^..~T tn two weeks. It looks now, however, as though the franchise will be granted and the proposed law suit post-' pone<f a quarter century. Mayor ■ Hamilton, who has ..been opposed tJ the proposition, will very probably agree to sign. •—•—* 0 — rOLQ THING WOULD NOT RUN Having Trouble With Clover Leaf Motor Cars. For a second time the electric motor car. recently, placed In operation by the Clover Leaf railroad broke down Thursday morning. The car got as far as the belt railroad, a short distance out of town, and there It stopped, No amount of coaxing would make it go. Efforts to make repairs failed. It finally became necessary to abandon the trip to Kokomo and Frankfort. A switch engine was sent to the rescue and the motor car was brought back to the local station. One woman who had Intended to go to Lafayette will be compelled to wait until Friday since the delay occasioned by the breakdown of the motor car made it impossible for her to make connections. —Marion Leader. . — —o Indianapolis, Oct 16.—The last chapter of the Baker bribery caqe was closed in criminal court yesterday, when Prosecutor Elliott R. Hooton opened a sealed envelope containing the five |2O bil's that Oscar A. Baker is alleged to have sent to Representative Ananias Baker and asked that a court record be made of the fact that he had turned the SIOO over to the home for aged and .friendless women. Along with the bills, a bit of evidence was disclosed which might have made 0. A. Baker’s conviction certain had Ananias Baker lived to testify against him. It was a typewritten note received by Ananias Baker while the latter was a state representative in 1905.

The contents of this note have never been made public, and read as follows: f “February 20. “Friend Baker—l was very sorry I missed you today. I was trying to get away ftom another party, and I thought you would wait a little; then the next thing I knew you were gone. If convenient, come at 8 this evening. If not convenient, then come at 8:30 or 9. I will be waiting for you. “Sincerely yours, “BAKER.” Below the typewriting the following was written with a lead pencil: “Have no fear, Baker. I never violate a confidence.’* The state had intended to connect the contents of this note with the bri. bery transaction. The Denison hotel envelope inclosing the SIOO bribe money sent to Ananias Baker was addressed in the same handwriting as this note. Representative Ananias Baker (opened the envelope before the house of representatives in 1905 and, flourishing the bills, announced that they had been given to him for his vote against the anti-cigarette bill.. “Cigarette” Baker, whom Ananias Baker later said was the briber, fled front Indianapolis. t o I THE LIBRARY BOARD MEET Adopt Rule Permitting Students in Country Free Use of Books. At a meeting of the Decatur li- < brary board Friday evening it was de. 1 cided that the country . high school ‘ students, that Is all those outside ; the city of Decatur, may from this i | time on have the use of all the refer-

lence books used by the high school, H free of charge, thus giving them the ■ same opportunity as the students here I have. This, however, does not inI clpde the other books In the library, I only the reference books. Each high L school is supposed to have a referI ence library and since the school HI brary here was combined with the I public this rule was adopted that the I students both inside and out of Dc- | catur might have the use of the nec- ■ essary books. The boards also enI tertained a proposition for the reI binding of a number of the volumes. I S' I -o I Indianapolis, Oct. 16. —U. 6. JackI son, Democratic state chairman, is I. manifesting a good deal of interest I' in the, Indianapolis city campaign I Mr. Jackson was in Indianapolis and 1 had interviews with Charles A. Gauss

? and William F. Moore at Democratic ' city headquarters. He went over the • local situation thoroughly with these ! men. Upon leaving headquarters, he ■ said: “I assured Chairman Moore ; and Mr. Gauss that if there is anything I can do to help along the prospects for a Democratic victory in Indianapolis they have only to call on me. My'investigation as to conditions in/Indianapolis, resulting from talks I had with both Democrats and Republicans, leads me to believe that Mr/Gauss should be, and certainly will be, elected.” The extent to which state politics will figure In the Indianapolis City contest is still one of the open questions of the campaign; Mr. Jackson’s visit tQ the city is the first manifestation of interest by any - -

■/ i> . ’'l','.. ' managerial officer of either of the old i party state committees. The Repub- ‘ Hcan city committee has had no com- U munication, oral or written, with any ' ] of the officials of the Republican state committee.' F. W. Lough, Prohobltlon state chairman, is taking an active part In the city campaign for the Prohobitlonists and Is addressing street corner gatherings. The Republican city committee has decided I to extend an Invitation to Senator; Beveridge to address a large Tomlinson hall meeting near the close of the campaign, and if this arrangement Is carried out the Democrats will ask Governor Marshall to reply to the senator. It is believed that a presentation of the issues by the senator and a response by the governor would be an entertaining feature of a campaign that has lagged somewhat in interest. There are ample precedents for a speceh by the senator, as it has not been uncommon for senators who reside in the capital city to speak in former city campaigns. If he consents there will be a parade of city clubs, a display of fireworks and other features out ot the ordinary. Governor MfrHfcan’s attitude toward the Indianapolis city campaign is interesting. He is a friend of Mr. Gauss and is satisfied with the record which the Democratic candidate made while in the legislature. Still he insists that the proprieties of the case forbid him from taking an, active part as a speaker in the campaign, since he has only a nominal and temporary residence here, required by the State constitu- i tlon. The final decision as to whether the governor will participate prob- | ably will depend upon what Senator Beveridge says, if the senator con- , sents to speak. If the senator should challenge the efficiency of the Democratic state administration or treat of state issues, Governor Marshall would make one speech in the city campaign setting forth his views on these questions.

Y. o The Decatur Furnace plant was last Saturday -disposed of at a receiver’s sale, Erastus Fritzinger becoming its owner by the payment of the appraised value, this being $9,400. Mr. Fritzinger was the only bidder. It is understood that he and a company of other Decatur gentlemen are organizing for the purpose of continuing the manufacture of furnaces and the plant will resume operations within one week at the very outside. Mr. Fritzinger has given out the information that furnaces will be the only output of the concern until a few months later, when they will add several new features to the business. It is indeed good news that the concern is still in the possession of good business men and it is even better ( news that work will be resumed at once. o A Cure For Gapes. Mr. Frank P.

Marion, Ind., Oct. 16—Whether or not the Moore remonstrance law, enacted before the late county local option law, annulled leases and contracts for buildings rented for saloon purposes is a question now before Judge H. J. Paulus of the Grant circuit court for decision. It is the first case of the character thus far presented. Other similar cases are pending throughout the state and the suit of Arabella Dow against the lndiana Brewing Association, heard by Judge Paulus today, is looekd upon as a> precedent by courts and lawyers concerned in other cases. The decision will serve as precedent in similar actions for refit brought where sa- ■ ® loons were closed by local option elections, and there are hundreds of unexpired leases on buildings closed ’ by local option throughout the state. o— DELPHOS MAN WANTED TO DIE ' 1 John Grothe Used Peculiar Methods < for Suicide- ’ i John Grothe, aged thirty-one years, ] attempted suicide at the family home 1 in Delphos, while mentally un- t balanced. Grothe went to a wood 1 shed at the rear of the family home, c secured an old rusty sickel and made's a frantic attempt at suicide. His §

neck was gashed in a fearful manner by the dull implement, but the jugular vein was not penetrated, and the wounds will soon heal. The blade entered the windpipe. Failing to accomplish the purpose suggested by ■ his disordered mind, Grothe then secured a heavy billet of wood, and

pounded his head with it. His scalp was somewhat cut as a result of the use of the stick of wood. In order to prevent a repetition of the attempt at self-destruction and to give to him careful medical attention, he has been removed to the state hospital, at Toledo. ' / o HAS EIGHTY TURKEYS.
