W ■ A judgment of $4,699.25 against the town of Lowell was given by Judge Anderson in the federal court Friday in favor of J. W. Gardner, of Quincy, 111. The suit was based on $2,500 0 worth of bonds of the town issued in 1898, Gardner now being the owner of the bofids. The chief matter in controversy was the amount of interest due -the complainant, although the regularity of the bond issue also had been attacked. The case formerly had been in the'state courts, and went to the appellate court on a question of pleading, but no judgment on the merits of the case had been given.

. The Proctor so-called regulation law provides that saloons can open on election days as soon as the polls are closed. Is that a temperance provision? It provides that in cities of the first and second /llass saloons can remain open until 12 o'clock at night Ib that a temperance provision? It provides that licenses can be transferred from one person to another and that even corporations can buy them and run the saloons. Are these temperance measures? It provides that saloons can be moved from one location to another. Is that a temperance provision?- Benator Halleck voted against the law that provided for these /things and the Jasper County Democrat, which has hated Senator Halleck for a great many years, would try to make you believe that Senator Halleck vote<L against temperance. Such misrepresentations show the extent to which the editor of that paper would descend to Injure him, and it is such misrepresentations that make the Democrat and its editor ridiculous as Well as untrustworthy.

OIL WELL BEING DRILLED ON THE WENTWORTH FARM.

Roselawn Scene of Activity in OH Interests—Has Struck at Depth of . 400 Feet Looks Good. ” S. M. Laßue states that an oil ftnd gas well is being drilled on the G. K. Wentworth land between Roselawn and the milk station at Pembrook. Mr. Wentworth is having the well sunk and has had expert oil men there to look over the country and express an opinion as to the probability of favorable results. It is reported that they have stated that everything points to a successful field and Mr. Wentworth is very sanguine about the outcome. The well is already 400 feet in depth and gas in good quantity was found at that depth. The well will be sunk to & depth of 1,000 feet or more, however, and if there is anything in the earth’s interior that looks like oil or gas in sufficient quantity to pay for its pumping, Mr. Wentworth will find it out.

Monon Officials Wish to Learn Value of Creosoted Ties.

The Monon’s big creosoting plant in South Bloomington is turning out creosoted crossties which are to replace all the old wornout ties on the system. Each tie put down is to be tagged by a spike on which the date is marked. By this means the road officials expect to learn whether the expense of creosoting will pay, and whether there is really as much preservative power in creosote as is generally believed.

MANY LIVES LOST IN NEW YORK CITY FIRE.

Catastrophe In Ten Story Factory Building Causes Death of 141 People, Mostly Cftds. A terrible fire occurred In New York City Saturday afternoon and caused the death of at feast 141 people, mostly girls, who were employed in the upper floors of a factory*. It is one of the worst fire catastrophes of recent years and it has opened the eyes of New York people to the need of better fire fighting equipment. The life nets, which were held for the people to jump into, proved rotten and many dashed through the nets either to their death or to be frightfully maimed. The fire started on the seventh floor, shutting off the elevator and stairways and the dense smoke soon made it impossible for the frightened women and girls to tell where to go. Some jumped from the windows before the nets were spread and others refused to jump at all and fell when the building caved in. The building in.which the fire occurred had no fire escapes and it is intended by officers to place the responsibility some place and prosecute the negligent parties. Many other buildings in New York are said to have no means of escape from fire.

McGurran Signs to Play Ball With Missouri State League.

The Daily Capital of Sedalia,. Mo., the city in which Leo McGurran, Who was one of St. Joe’s leading ball players for several years, makes his home, has the following to say about him:

“Leo McGarran, who- pitched the Sedalia Cubs to victory last season, appended his ‘John Hancock’ yesterday to a contract to play with the Sedalia club of the Missouri State league during the season of 1911. Leo had a flattering offer to join the Joplin club, but turned it down on the advice of his friends who want to see him on the mound with the home club. Manager Easley was highly pleased over securing McGurran’s signature and believes he will develop into timber which will attract the attention of major league owners.” Leo played several games of ball with the Wrens, pitching and playing at second base or shortstop. He is an all around player and bats and runs bases like a major leaguer. His old friends here will expect to see him in real fast company in another year or two.

The Jasper County Democrat seems to be the only paper in this section of the state that has the audacity to call the Proctor regulative measure a temperance one. It was opposed in the legislature by all temperance people, it was supported by all brewery and saloon interests except that Steve Fleming, the Fort Wayne brewer, opposed it when it was originally in the senate, but it developed before the bill finally passed that Fleming and Proctor had a pretty good understanding about what they both wanted and that the wily Fleming was voting for effect. During the time the measure was up for passage Proctor, its author, was called back to his home district to speak from a “wet” standpoint Just before the election. The division on the measure was plain between temperance and “wet” forces, and the only republicans who voted for it were “wet” republicans and the only democrats who voted against it were “dry” democrats. Had Proctor been sincere Jn his desire to restrict the number of

saloons he would have provided that that number would be restricted In communities that have Jjaore than 1 to the 500 population now, but he provided that all the saloonkeepers now in business could continue in business and be relicensed. The copies of the bill circulated in Rensselaer were sent Out by the Association of Indiana Brewers, of which Steve Fleming was the secretary and on the front page of the copies thus sent out are mentioned the so-called strong features of the measure. Whenever this association advocates a measure or glories in its passage it is a quite sure thing that the law will be detrimental to temperance interests and we shall not be surprised before Hie courts get through with an interpretation of the liquor laws passed by the recent legislation if it finds excuse to establish saloons £bout everywhere. People with good sense know that Senator Halleck voted with the temperance interests when he voted negatively on the Proctor bill, and neither Babcock’s prejudices in favor of saloons or against Senator Halleck will avail Him anything in his effort to misrepresent the .senator who represented Jasper, Newton, White and Starke counties in the legislature. If perchance the operation of the law should lessen the number of saloons in Gary and a few other places if will lack a long ways from being a temperance law. . If the members of the legislature had wanted temperance they could have provided for the qualification contained in the Proctor regulative measure without a repeal of the county option law. The effect of that repeal has already been felt by the establishment of a lot of saloons in territory made “dry” two years ago. The Proctor law is a saloon measure, whose author is a saloofi advocate and it has the endorsement of the brewers’ association, and it is in keeping with the spirit of the last general assembly of Indiana. As was said in the beginning of this article the Jasper County Democrat seems to be the only paper In this section cf the state, at least, that has had the andacity to call it a temperance measure. Evidently he gets his cue from the brewers’ association that claims this bill is just what the temperance people want. There are a lot of temperance people who would sooner have a chance of passing their own liquor laws, however, and Senator Halleck voted for these. Jacob Eady, age ,40, assistant superintendent of the Decatur electric light plant, was instantly killed while working at the top of a sixty-foot pole. A cut wire, which struck him on the hack of the neck, caused instant death. William Parent, with him on the pole at the time, was severely burned. EJddly leaves a widow and three children.
