Dr. Wiley has been vindicated beyond any question of a doubt and his Indiana friends who recognize in him ' a friend of the people are rejoicing.' In a sudden succession of orders Tuesday, Solicitor McCabe was retired, and Chemist Dunlap allowed leave of absence, leaving Dr. Wiley in full charge of the pure food and drugs board. The state convention of New Jersey in session Tuesday spoke thus in their platform: "We endorse the brilliant and able administration of Governor Woodrow Wilson and express our entire approval of the progressive legislation enacted during the winter of 1910 and 1911." Mr. Wilson was the | ■ redominating spirit throughout the convention October 17th is Riley Day in Indiana. and it should be observed in every school in the state. What girl or boy has not been entertained by heating or reading Riley's pcems. He is rot a Shakespeare or a Bryant, or a Whittier or a Longfellow, but he is more.

Mr. well advertised his sale and i hence the good results. —■■<>-— — —— CITY’S BUSINESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE work of this kind, and another reason is that it would be a difficult problem to secure the right kind of bids, the street being too small a job for contractors to bid on alone. And since the city is contemplating the construction of probably two other streets in the 1 near future it may be held over until this can be arranged, for one contract. Some difficulty had arisen as io whether or not one of th? remonstrators against the above !&id improvement was legal since he, James N I’ristoe, who has been absent from the

city, residing at Warsaw, where he once voted, while at the same time he claimed this to be his permanent home, although he has not resided here all of the time. This controversy was settled Tuesday evening, when Attorney Jasse C. Sutton read a sworn affidavit received from Mr. Frlstoe, stating that he was a legal strator, and that this Is his home, as he had claimed it to be. The Mers man sewer on North Second street, which has not been giving the desired results, was brought up last evening to be looked into, and which was later referred to the street and sewer committee. The present docket of the mayor being nearly filled, and answered about all the purposes possible, he asked for a new one, which was ordered to be purchased to suit his honor and prescribed by law. The following bills then being allowed, the evening's work was completed: John Sprague $ 9.00 J. G. Smith 50.00 William Geary 10 00 G. F. Kintz 53.0'1 Wesley Hitchcock 130.00 Protective Elec.
