PROCTOR MEASURE PASSES - IS DISGRACEFUL SCENE.

that saloons are practically unrestricted. Representative Williams declared that the bill does not regulate saloons at all. M

The Proctor measure provides that in cities of the first and second class saloons can remain open until 12 o’clock at night. It also provides that! after the election polls are,closed the saloons may open up for business. These are some of the “restrictions" which constitute the Proctor regulative and restrictive measure. To the disgrace of the state, Keegan was able to make his contemptible slur against all temperance people in the house of representatives and was not compelled to public acknowledgement and withdrawal of hi* objectionable language. Republicans have scarcely been able to receive a respectful hearing at any time during the session, and good and respectable democrats all over the state are ashamed of the high-handed fashion in which some of the leaders have acted during the session. Representative Eschback said that he had served in the state legislature at the last four sessions and this was the first time he had ever seen brewers sitting on the floor of the house and directing the deliberations of that body.

Monday evening at 6:30 o’clock the senate passed the governor’s»new constitutional measure, whic.h makes sweeping changes in the organic law of the state. All democrats but Powers voted for it. All republicans and Powers voted against it. In explaining his vote Senator Powers said: “I feel it a duty I owe to the members of my party that I explain my position more explicitly in dissenting in this matter.” He declared his party was violating the provisions of the constitution, but because the party did, he did not feel impelled to do like wise. Continuing, Mr. Powers said:

“I think we might, with some consistency, before we act too hastily, listen to the voice of wisdom:

“In iB6O Stephen A. Douglas said: 'I understand it, that the views of the people expressed in the constitution must command the obedience of every citizen.’

"Senator Doolittle of the United States Senate of 1860, said: ‘The constitution is the supreme law, binding upon every citizen of the state. Can a state put an end to the supremacy of the constitution without proceeding according to the law?’ Why should vve act with so much haste?

“May we not take time to consider that five years were consumed in adopting and altering the articles of confederation, by such master minds as James,Madison and John Jay? And yet our State Senate would adopt* articles for a new constitution in less than a week.

“I have a conscientious feeling that the proposed attempt to make this constitution is untenable. The constitution of cur state can not be attacked collaterally. Neither can it be avoided in an indirect way. If our constitution, which we have maintained for fifty years, is wrong, then it can be amended. In support of this proposition, I desire to quote from John Quincy Adams, who said in 1835, ‘lf the constitution is wrong it can be amended. Until it is amended it is Sr my duty to follow it implicitly.’ ”

A Columbus of Space

By Garrett P. Serviss.

Copyright by Frank A, Munsey Co. o CHAPTER Xlll—Continued. 4 . I looked and saw that in front of us the sky was dark. Great clouds were rolling up, high above the mountains, and the latter were shadowed by them. We seemed to be approaching a region of twilight. Once within it we should be lost to sight! •’lt is the edge of the temperate zone,” said Edmund. Between that zone and the central circle of eternal, unclouded sunshine lies a region of contehding air currents, rains and storms, not unlike that which we crossed this Bide of the Crystal mountains*. Having entered it, we* shall be as if behind a curtain, and they can work their will with us.” Was it the knowledge of this fact that had restrained Ingra from throwing us overboard? Was he meditating for us a more dreadful fate? It was, indeed, a land of shadows that we now entered. Ahead, we were passing the crest of the mountain range, which was nowhere of any great height, and even in the gloom we could, perceive that ahead of us the inclination of the ground was downward.

I glanced eagerly backward to see if Ala’s aeroplane was yet in pursuit. Yes, there it was, a distinct dot on the bright dome behind, the upper part of which was now beginning to be obscured from our view by the roof of inky clouds that spread darkness round us. We could see them very plainly, but could they see us? I tried to hope that they could, but reason taught me that it must be impossible. Still, they were evidently holding to their course, and there was a gleam of hope in that. But even this hope faded when Ingra, with devilish cunning, as soon as we bed entered deep into the gloom, abruptly changed our course. He knew well that we were now invisible to our pursuers, but to prevent the bare possibility that they might be able to follow us if we maintained a straight course through the air, he doubled like a hunted fox.

We watched for the effect upon the other aeroplane. The change of our perspective revealed the fact that they w ere continuing straight on as before. They had not seen us, then, and even if, as must surely be the case, they anticipated such a ruse as Ingra had practised, how could they baffle him and find our track again? At last the spreading darkness swallowed from sight the arch of illuminated sky behind, and then we were alone in the gloom!

Understand me, this wqs not the deep night of the other side of the planet. It was more truly what I have already' called it, twilight—a dark twilight, and as our eyes became accustomed to it we could see a little.

We had dropped down within a few hundred yards of the ground, which had now become a level expanse, and soon w r e began to notice that it was covered with small bodies of water, interspersed with masses of trees and bushes. It was, in short, a gigantic dismal swamp or everglade. I shuddered as the evident design of Ingra burst upon my consciousness. He meant either to throw us into the or to leave us to starve in the midst of these fens. His real design, as you will see in a moment, was even more diabolical.

The aeroplane gradually approached the ground, just skimming the tops of strange trees, the most horrible vegetable forms that I have ever seen. At length we settled down upon a comparatively dry space, perhaps a quarter of an acre In extent, and there, without warning, we were seized and pushed off the aeroplane, which instantly rose circling above us. Ingra’s staring face appeared for a moment, and even in the gloom we could see the devilish glee that overspread it If our arms had not been bound his triumph would have been ended then and there. I saw Edmund straining desperately at his bonds to reach his pistol. But in ten seconds the aeroplane had risen beyond pistol shot

"Quick!” said Edmund. “Hold your hnnds here.”

I turned my back to him and stretched out my fingers, not knowing yet what be wished. “Take a match from this box which I have twisted out of my side pocket,” he said, “and while I hold the box scratch it and for Heaven’s sake, bold the flames quick against the bonds around my wrists.” V \

I managed to get hold of the match, and, finding with my fingers the box, scratched aa best I could. But the match broke. Bdmund, with tbs skill

of a prestidigitator, got another match out of the box and pushed It Into my fingers. It failed again. ■ “It’s got to be done!” Edmund cried. “Here, Jack, you try.” Again he succeeded in extracting a match, and Jack backed up in my place. Wether his hands happened Ao be less tightly bound or whether he had more skill and nerve, on the second attempt he succeeded. “Don’t lose it!” cried Edmund, as the Jigbt flashed. "Burn the cord.” Jack tried. The smell of burning flesh arose, but Edmund never winced. In a few seconds the match went out. “Another,” said Edmund, and the same operation was repeated. A dozen seperate attempts of this kind had been made, when, with a violent effort Edmund snapped the charred cord and was free. His hands and wrists were severely burned, but, paying no attention to them, in a minute he had us all cut loose.

It was a mercy that they had not noticed the flame from the aeroplane, for if they had, undoubtedly they would have returned and made an end of us before we could have released our hands. Now, gripping our pistolwe felt less anxiety. • • . • ’ We could no longer see the aeroplane, which been swallowed up in the darkness, but suddenly a loud splash in the water close by startled us. A moment later this was followed by a second and a third splash. We had dimly caught sight of some long, slender objects, apparently falling from the sky. Instantly Edmund, whose eyes were marvelously quick, sang out: “It’s the rifles!” “The rifles?” “Yes. Ingra had them, and he has thrown them overboard.” And at the words Edmund dashed into the shallow water where the Splashing had occurred. In a minute he returned with one of our cruising rifles in his hand!

“Hunt for the others!” he exclaimed, and we ran with him into the water, and actually found the other two sticking in the mud, for the water was not more than a foot deep. “Heaven be praised!” said Edmund. “This is a piece of luck.” “I should think so,” said Jack, dryly. “It’s positively humorous.”

“In Heaven’s name,” I exclaimed, “why did he throw them overboard? Not for us, surely.” “Of course not,” said Edmund. “It’s plain enough. He had taken them, but couldn’t find out how to use them. He did not want to carry this evidence of his guilt back with him, and so it occurred to him to get rid of them along with us. No doubt when he cast them out the aeroplane was some distance away and high up. He never dreamed that they would fall within our reach.

“But you observe the heavy wind that is blowing overhead. The weapons are light, and the wind carried them our way. If the aeroplane had not been so high up they never would ‘have reached us.” Dumbfounded, the rest of us said nothing, except Jack, who grumbled: “Hanged if I don’t think this kind of luck is uncanny.” “I cannot be thankful enough for the return of the rifles,” said Edmund, presently. “We shall have use for them. Without them I doubt if it would ever have been possible for us to pull out of this trap.” “It seems to me,” said Jack, “that three pairs of seven-league boots woiHd be more to the purpose ju3t now than three rifles. Whfit are you going to shoot?” Edmund started to reply, but was interrupted by another noise—not a splash this time, but a heavy, sonorous, sighing sound. In the gloom, surrounded by the repulsive, half-spectral forms of that monstrous vegetation o? the swamp, that mysterious sound, .which plainly denoted some giant kind of life, fairly made us quake. “My Heavens,” said Jack, “what can that be?”

“We’ll see,” replied Edmund, calmly, and threw open his pocket lantern. As the light streamed out there was a sudden rustle close by and an answering gleam, which passed a shaft of light illumination over us. With a united shout of joy we all cried out: “Ala!” It was, indeed, she, with her aeroplane, within a dozen yards of us, but her approach had been concealed by the distorted limbs of the hideous vegetation that towered on three sides of us.

Our shout of astonishment had not ceased to echo when out of the horrible tangle rose, with a swift, sinuous movement, a long, anaconda-like arm, flesh-pink in the electric beam, bu> covered with dark, spike-edged spiracles. It curled itself over the edge of the aeroplane and swiftly drew it downward. (To be continued.)

“KNOCKED DAYLIGHTS OUT OF RHEUMATISM.”

New Rheumatism Remedy Is Antidote F»r Uric Add. w 4 * .

“By thunder, I got a whole case —a dozen bottles of the ‘Fuss’ Rheumatism Cure, determined to get cured of my 3year case of bull-dog inflammatory

rheumatism. I didn’t need the dozen, you bet you—three bottles knocked the daylights right out of it and cured me completely. The other nine bottles I gave to rheumatic friends, and they are hopping around pretty lively now, same as I am. ‘Fuss’ is a wonder.” This is but one of hundreds of similar reports on this amazing remedy, the only known antidote for uric acid, Furthermore, it is as safe as food, containing no chloral, opium, morphine, cScaine, alcohol, ether, chloroform or other stimulent or narcotic; not a drop. "Fuss” gives immediate relief, and destroys uric acid in the blood which causes rheumatism, gout, lumbago and kidney trouble. Don’t hesitate but get “Fuss” and stop the agony right off and get cured. “Fuss” Rheumatism Cure sold at SI.OO a bottle in Rensselaer by B. F. Fendig, and by all leading druggists, or will be sent prepaid on receipts of SI.OO or 6 bottles for $5.00, by the Fuss Remedy Co., Flint, Mich.

HANGING GROVE.

Frank Peregrine went to Wolcott Friday morning to join his wife and children on their journey to Mitchell, S. Dak.

J. P. Gwin has bought a six-acre fruit farm near Mammoth Springs, Ark., and will move his famil,’ ihere some time in March. C. E. Maxwell moved from the Poole farm Wednesday to their new home near Rensselaer. John M. Johnson and family and his father and mother will occupy Mr. Poole’s farm this summer.

Several from here attended the big Thompson ranch sale at Parr Wednesday. There was an immense amount of property sold, including about seventy-five head of milch cows. Everything brought good prices. Mrs. S. B. Holmes and children visited friends and relatives here a few days last week before leaving Sunday for their new home near Jamestown, N. Dak. Mr. Holmes preceeded them last Monday evening with the car of horses and houselidld goods. Ben L. Bond’s sale last Tuesday on the Horton & Moseley ranch was also a very gdod one. His sale totaled $7,380 and of this amount only $270 was paid in notes. Mr. Bond is yet undecided just where he will locate, but will go to Mexico, Miami eounty, for the present, at least. Mr. Hack’s dredge will soon be 4m operation. The boom has been raised and as the dipper is now in place, work on the Randle ditch will begin. One car load of coal has been hauled out and piled in various places along the proposed ditch. This new ditch, when completed, will reclaim a vast amount of land that heretofore ha j been very uncertain for farming pur poses. The main ditch will cross the road at two different places, as will also the lateral, thus making it necessary for the trustee to put in four nsw bridges. Isaac, Parker and Ed Peregrine loaded their cars Wednesday and Thursday at McCoysburg and billed them to Mitchell, S. Dak., Thursday evening. One man accompanied each car. The families will visit friends and relatives for a few days and will leave for Mitchell the first of the week. Miss Feme Parker, however, will remain here qntil her school is out. This is* her third term of teaching, and all at the Moore school. Each term has been very satisfactory, as has also been her township institute work, from which she will be greatly missed by her fellow teachers. John H. Montz and family will move to a farm east of Monticello Tuesday. They will load everything in a ca* except the live stock, as it will be almost as cheap by rail as by wagon road. The southbound passenger No. 37 wili stop and take on Grandmother Montz for Monticello. She is 88 years old and has been quite poorly for some time, and the family consider it a great favor that the train will stop on special orders. Mr. Montz and family have lived here four years, ar.d in that time have made a host of friends. Their absence will be most keenly felt in the church and Sunday school work, as Mr. Montz has beer> the leader of the choir ever since thej have lived here.

Reckless Ante Drivers Caused Bad Spill Near Aix Sunday.

Two men giving their names as George Miller an! A. W. Robbins, And who were traveling in an Abbott,Detroit automobile en route from Chicago to Indianapolis, ran into a buggy in which Mrs. J. A. Lucas and Mrs. Jack Reeder, of Union township, were riding, last Sunday afternoon, near Aix, 7 miles north of Rensselaer. The buggy was upset and badly demolished, although Mrs. Lucas escaped injury and Mrs. Reeder was very slightly injured. It is reported that the men did not stop after causing the accident, but undertook to make their escape. Persons who saw the accident telephoned to Marshal Mustard and he and Sheriff Hoover were on the lookout for the men at the north corporation line, but they did not put in an appearance. From DA, Washburn it was learned that a car answering the description, was stranded about two miles north of town. The sheriff and marshal went the place and there found the men working with the car, which had a broken axle. The officers did not have a warrant for the arrest of the men and did not care to proceed without one. They talked with the men about the matter and they at first denied that they Were the parties, claiming that they had come by a different road. Later, however, the men practically admitted that they were the parties.

As neither Mrs. Lucas taor Mrs. Reeder came to town, there was no way to positively identify the men, and their husbands did not want to take a chance in the matter.

Squire Irwin was out of town and Judge Hanley did not want to issue warrants unless the affidavits were properly made by responsible persons. The men telephoned to Chicago for repairs for their auto. The repairs were brought down by another man on the early train Monday morning. The officers got Mayor Meyers up at 3 o’clock and the mayor called fity Attorney Leopold. The sheriff called County Attorney Williams and Lucas called Attorney Parkinson. It looked like the injured parties were more intent on collecting damages than they were in having the men punished, and the mayor, on advice of Attorney Leopold did not issue the warrants. While all were discussing the project the men were busy repairing the machine and they finally got rigged up and went through town like a bat from a belfry, exceeding the speed limit about three to one. Lucas was determined to have something done in the matter and went to Indianapolis Monday, hoping to be able to make the men pay for the damage they had done.
