The Monticello company is a new organization and the equipment is all new. A combination 40-gallon chemical hose truck has just been purchased at a cost of $1,470. It was made by the American La Franc Fire Engine Co., of Elmyra, New York, and is said to be one of the finest trucks in the state. The visitors were entertained with a fire run in which a bonfire was the objective point. Three minutes, 5% seconds were consumed from the time the alarm was sounded to the time the chemical was playing on the fire, and 3 minutes, 26 Seconds before the water was got into play.

Gettysburg - Fredericksburg

It is now 47 years since the greatest battle of the civil war was fought. Gettysburg and Pickett’s charge has been considered the greatest of modern times, but when all is reviewed, the ground studied and the jpositions of both Union and Confederate forces considered, Gettysburg sinks far below the magnificent work done by the gallant men who charged again and again against the impregnable wall of fire that crowned the hill of St. Mary’s at Fredericksburg on the 13th day of December, 1862. I will try in my own way to describe the differences briefly. First, Pickett charged over clear, open ground, against a line that had no other shelter than that afforded by casual fences and stone walls. His front wq,s free from obstacles such as usually impede the progress of an assaulting column. He could not have found a better field for operations in the world. It was said our men were standing on a ridge; the truth is at that point the ridge sinks down until the rise in the approach is hardly visible. Pickett’s charge had been prepared for by the most terrific artillery fire even known, concentrated at the most effective cannon range on the objective of his assault. There was very much to give Pickett’s men strong hopes of success. The army of the Potomac had been terribly pounded for two days and its ranks forced

ACCUSATION AND CONDEMNATION GIVE WAY TO EULOGY AND DEFENSE.

JOHN W. KERN. In Interview published Dec. 26, 1909. V“Brewing is one of the special interests that assumes the function of lawmaking for its own benefit. “That is true. (I answer to question whether the brewers prevented his election to the United States Senate.) The Democratic newspapers and voters of Indiana favored my candidacy. Forty-four Democratic members of the Legislature openly gave me pledges of their shpport.) Forty-;two votes were all I needed. “When I seemed sure of the nomination the brewers suddenly manifested a lively intrest in the situation. It was proposed that the Democrats, meeting in caucus, cast a secret ballot I understood what that meant—pledged members of the Legislature could vote for the brewers’ candidate, whoever he happened to be, ant no one would know of it.

“Eight men were purchased, and the> secret ballot went through. I received thirty-six votes, and Benjamin F. Shively, attorney for the brewers, was nominated.

And yet there are forty-four men who will make affidavit today that they gave me their support. I can not prove bribery on any one, but I think I know the names of eight men who were bought up.

Hank Granger Was Acquitted On the Fish Spear Charge.

The jury that tried Hank Granger, of Thayer, Wednesday, on the charge of unlawfully having a fish spear in his possession, returned a verdict of not guilty after hearing the evidence. December 2nd of last year, Deputy Game Wardens Lew Swartz and Rudolph Winchman saw a light on the marsh at night. They got a boat and rowed out to the light and found Granger and his son in a scow with two or three plckeral, four or five catfish and some carp. The game wardens testified that they found a fivepointed spear in the boat and that the fish showed evidence of having been speared. They failed to exhibit the spear.

Granger and his son testified that they had left their camp on Jerry's Island that night to string a trot line and that the fish in the scow Was the result of their night’s catch, that they had not owned a spear for eight years,

back far from their original position. On the other hand the men of the second and fifth corps assailed a perfectly, fresh enemy standing in a position for natural strength in any battlefield in the history of the world. It was impossible for our artillery to give more than feeble resistance. The dullest man in the army of the Potomac realized something of this and that the assault could have little chance of success, yet they made an attack that could not be ourpassed for desperate determination. Tesy did not go to pieces in <. ne assault like Pickett’s man did, but made six different charges and with the field covered witn their dean urd dying comrades for jad themselves forward within a hundred yards of the impregnable fortress. It was a feac of corageous daring equal to any charge ever made. In Hancock’s division of the second corps 2,013 men ware lost out of 5,006. Eight regiments numbering 2,548 lost 1,324. Not one regiment lost less than 45 per cent and one lost 67 per cent or two thirds of all who charged the fortress. Besides this, the army of the Potomac had a deep river to cross and not without being molested by the enemy on the opposite side. So, I say, all honor to the brave boys of the second and fifth corps who stormed the hill of St. Mary on Dee. 13, 31.62.

JOHN W. KERN. In French Lick speech June 24, 1910. One of the crowning features of the victory of i9OB was the election of a Legislature, Democratic on joint ballot, which made possible the election of a Democratic United States senator. There may have been, and there were, before the Democratic caucus older soldiers than Benjamin F. Shively, but there were none better. His election to the senate by the Democratic members of the Legislature without a single dissenting vote secured to the people for six years the services of a man ripe in scholarship, rich in experience and eloquent and convincing in expression—a man of unquestioned integrity and commanding ability. And I stop to say here that, from the hour of his election to the present time, I have never failed whenever opportunity offered to express by appreciation of the character of the man, and since he entered the senate my approval of the splendid record made by him in the exalted position to which he was called. «

I shall not speak of my present candidacy for the senatorship, which came about by the unanimous demand of my party in Btate convention assembled, further than to say that it is my ambition to serve the people of my native state in that great Legislative forum by seconding the efforts of Benjamin F. Shively.

and that the “spear” seen by the wardens was simply a hook on a pole used for drawing up the trot line from the water. Granger and his soft testified that the night was dark and foggy and that they had/become lost in the marsh, and that they were wandering around bewildered when the game wardens discovered their light and rowed out to them. A number of witnesses for Granger testified that they saw the fish and that there was no evidence that a spear had been used. After the acquittal, two other cases, ' V- % one against Granger, and one against his son Fred, were dismissed.
