Ester*l at tie poetomce is Decatar, f»d»*na. as acecad cl*~a atJL ed as chairman of tie pension committee in tie senate and is also a member of two other important committees, tie finance and tie committee on foreign relations. He was siren tie assignments on motion of Senator Kern, showing that there is considerable buncombe about these stories of deep-seated enmity between tie two Indiana senators. Though it was claimed by tie ladi-' ana perils News and other papers over the state a year ago that Mr. Ralston was a Taggart candidate for govenor, he is now spoken of as tie best that ever happened and to him alone -s due the fact that at least several bad bills failc-d to become laws. Tie utilities law, spoken of everywhere as the best in tie entire tnited States, is such, because of tie work of Governor Ralston. He is a big, broad governor. who weighs carefully the problem before him and then acts in a wise and manly way. That he has already made good is conceded and that he will continue to do so is not doubted by any fair man, friend or foe. Amos P. Beatty, Adams county representative, has returned from h : s first session as a member of that body, i and he comes home with a record that he may well feel proud of. We have watched his work carefully and we are sure that all others who uave done so will agree that he has worked hard and has represented the people of Adams county. He introduced several bffis and secured their passage, hot not in that light did he shine. He r6&d cYtry bill introduced, studied it carefully and then voted the way be believed his constituent* favored. He cots.fleetly fought every bad bill ani

■as consistently worked for the py j 1 sage of every good bill. No breath of a dishonorable or nageatlemaaly actl stands against him, an J to him as much as to asy bus 1b iht house, is due the fact that the lower branch o*' &iid itopped the mad dash of nouns j 'r*>lv* that would have as Mr Beaitv • tiad in one of his speeches, “erlcted a 1 »omh%!one for the party that would! 1 have stood until Gabriel sounded his] | horn oq judgment nay.* To him is i much yood work for the oh!* > hills and others that are creditable.i He saved the Discovery Day bill aft»r it had been buried, dug it ap and aid* . ed in its passage. He opposed of every kind all the time, and he came out with the praise of his friends . and the respect of bis enemies. We . have been unable to find a single part of his work that would subject bim to criticisms and we believe tn% people of Adams county will join os in thus publicly saying to b;m "well done" CORcEG: ARRIVED ' i Continued from Page 1) Seal's Injuries Nat Fatal. According to John Scbeimann and drew tie body a little further und“r the wheels, literally slicing it np, the upper part of the chest alone escaping. He made no sound and it is probable death was instant. Mr. Seal fell unconscious with his head vary near the freight train, and the fact that he was unconscious probably saved his life, as only a little move would have placed him in the way of the wheels.
