Hunting Wolves With Lizzie.

Wheatfield Review. Dr. Fyfe, while making a professional call at the Matenky home in Walker township Monday, and while driving his Lizzie, saw a large gray wolf in a com field on the Barnard ranch. Doc got Bill Jeffers and gun and put Bill straddle of the radiator with gun pointed straight ahead and took after the wolf through the 200 acre com field and after Doc had run all over the field and had mowed.the com stalks down all ready for planting oa«s "in the spring and the darn coyote got away. The Lizzie had enough com stalks sticking through theradiator, wheels, gear and fenders to fill a 50x100 foot silo. When Doc had made another call at the frame place Tuesday afternoon, on the road home he wasn’t satisfied with one day’s sport. He again thought of the wolf and while he was thinking the Lizzie became unbalanced and Doc and het took a'header for the ditch and turned right side up down, breaking the top and windshield all to smithereens. Then Doc remembered how he had advocated the plan to have the township roads widened after the editor and his Lizzie had run off into the ditchanar Kersey (no damage to either the editor or his Lizzie). You would now hardly know Doc’s new 1916 car with a 1917 new top, windshield, radius rod and radiator on it. Doc hasn’t called at the Review office to report his diagnosis of the trouble and we are unable to quote the medical term to use when a Lizzie is upside down in the ditch, but we hope Doc will make a more determined effort to have the roads widened.

Glando Did It Interesting Statement Given By Paulding Mail Mr. C. A. Hughes, of Paulding, Ohio, said: ‘*l had suffered so much from backache and kidney trouble that I was hardly able to drag around. After taking one treatmen. of Glando Tonic I was so improved that I tobk another treatment to make it a cure. I am now a well man and can heartily ' recommend Glando Tonic to all suffering from backache or kidney trouble.” A sluggish glandular system is responsible for most serious illnesses. Such a condition should not be neglected. The wonderful cures effected by Glando, the Great Gland Tonic, is due to the fact that it acta directly upon the galndular system. The three treatments which each package contains being necessary to effect a cure. Treatment No. One stars glandular activity. Treatment No. Two throws off the accumulated poisons and pre- ■ pares the system for a tonic. , Treatment No. Three is a splendid tonic that builds up the entire system. Pot Ma l® by B. F. Fendig.

The Evening Republican.

By a vote of 70 to„2BJjheJiPuke, of representatives Thursday passed the Wright bill prohibiting the manufacture, sale, distribution or advertisement of alcoholic beverages and the fight to make Indiana dry was put up to the senate. The vote in the house was accurately forecasted by the drys, who had polled the membership earlier in the week. The decorum of the house was disturbed several times, and during the afternoon routine business was confusing, due to the very large representation of the dry forces of the house, in the galleries, and in fact in every bit of available space. The doorkeepeis finally had to deny admission to lake comers. During the roll call, while several members explained their votes, there was so much noise in the galleries that Speaker Eschbach interrupted proceedings repeatedly to demand order. While Representative Waltz, of Evansville, and Turner, of New Albany, spoke against the bill, there were loud hisses. ' • Fifty-two republicans and eighteen democrats voted for the. .bill, while twelve republicans and sixteen democrats cast their votes against the measure. The measure is now ready for introduction into the senate. The debate on the bill lasted two hours. Representative Cravens, of Madison, democratic floor'leader, upbraided the republicans for their attitude on the liquor question during the session. He declared that the republicans had allied themselves during the last campaign with the Liquor interests. He said the republicans were going to pay two debts. One, owed to the moral interests of the state, he said would be paid by passing in the house. The other, that owed to the liquor interests, would be paid when the bill reached the senate.He predicted that the measure would be killed when it reached the upper house. . _ , Speeches favoring the passage of the bill were made by Representatives Miles, Johnson, Green and Scott.

In the senate, proceedings were enlivened by Senator English on a question of personal privilege making an address to the senate and waiving the right of his committee on constitutional convention revision to consider the bill passed ‘by the house calling for a constitutional convention. Representative W. L. Wood, of Jasper county, cast his vote with the drys in the election.

What the bill provides for: The Wright-Dorrell prohibition bill is backed by the united dry forces in the state. It was presented in the house by Rep. Wright and in the senate by Senator Dorrell. As originally drawn up, the bill provided for the abolishment rof saloons next Sept. 1, but was amended to extend the life of the saloon, provided it passes, until Jan. 1, 1918. The measure would prohibit the sale, manufacture, gift, advertisement or transportation of intoxicating liquor except pure grain alcohol for scientific purposes. Penalty for violation of the law is fixed at from SIOO to SSOO fine and imprisonment of from thirty days to six months. Druggists are permitted to handle intoxicating liquors in quantities of not less than one gallon after obtaining a .permit from the county clerk and giving bond of SI,OOO, They-must then sell liquor only on prescription of a reputable physician and only one sale may be made on each prescription. Druggists must file records of sales which they have made, with the county clerk every «lx months. Provision 1® also made that within ten days after the law goes into force every person must have moved stocks of liquor from the state, unless they have procured a permit. Exemption is made for private use, one gallon of liquor other than beer, and twelve quarts of beer to each person, , \ The bill, If passed by the senate and signed by the governor, will, abolish 8,591 saloons in the state and 160 wholesale liquor dealers. The l»rgest part of these are located in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Terre Haute and Evansville. Liquor concerns naid $1,958,577 in license fees to city, township county and state governments last year.

KANKAKEE MARSHES FOR A STATE PARK

Indiana Sportmen Are Making Fight to Save This Natural Beauty Spit. , Kentland Enterprise. , Letters have been received bv legislators throughout Indiana, asking them to organize committees and collect money for state park purposes, writes Andrew E. Alberts in Indianapolis Star. These letters were signed by Governor Ralston and James P. Goodrich, his successor, and said that the park project was started in the state centennial year. Sportsmen of Indiana will recognize in that statement a slight mistake, for the greatest park project that was ever be-, fore the state was started previously to that time—-the Kankakee project. The truth is that the Kankakee proejct ought to receive some serious consideration from the legislature, for it offers much to the future of the state so far as recreation plaices are,, concerned, and every sportsman, every VacationaKst and especially every Iman interested in conservation ought work for it. ■_ The Kankakee is not simply a river, it is a region. Geologists say the old St. Joseph once flowed straight west from the point now occupied by the city of South Bend. South Bend or something else got in the way and the river, instead of continuing west, turned north at South Bend and instead of flowing its waters toward the Gulf of Mexico, it seceded from the Mississippi union and joined the sGreat Lake faction. the Kankakee was 4eft with the old St. Joseph valley and it proceeded to use it. It grew up a fringe of trees along its bank —yellow birch, quaking asp, willows and the like. Today you will find the Kankakee much as it was in the old, old days of the Indian—not a fence for miles, swampy woods and marshy prairies, untilled, with bayous running through it, with wild duck nesting there in summer, with long ridges of sand and gravel and with coyotes, foxes and rabbits “using” these ridges. You will _ find the marshes filled with bird life in summer and the stream and bayous yielding good sish —bass, pike, croppies and the more common run of catches. There is possibly some difference of opinion about the agricultural value of this region but if it is valuable it has lain at the door of Chicago and orfly four hours from Indianapolis with its riches unclaimed. Today it is still a wild waste. The soil is sandy in the part wanted for a state park. When a tree- falls down its roots skim off a thin layer of soil on top, exposing a depth of sand beneath. The plan is to get thirty to fifty miles of stream, with one to three • miles of land on each side, and to make it into a park. Doubtless those owning the land would be willing to sell. Undoubtedly the sportsmen and conservationalists want to buy. The’ trouble is that there is not yet a plan for the purchase, Eugene C, Shireman, the fish and game commissioner, has been considering this project for a 'long time and has done some work on it, aided by Indiana sportsmen, some of whom have given time, money and effort to the cause. Shireman doubtless could give interested legislators some good ideas pi) which to wqrk:

Injured Employes of Monon Treated Liberally.

Lafayette Courier. President Kurric, of the Monon, believes that employes of the road when injured should be properly cared for by compensation, regardless of the law. This is the reason the Monon now has so few damage suits, so Mr. Kurrie said recently, “anyhow, it is a very .poor advertisement for a railroad to nave a poor man maimed and hobbling about because of an accidetn while on duty and him complaining that the company had not helped him. My* policy is to give these people even a little more a than the law would require, and that is the reason we have so few suits in court these days,”

Annoying St. Joseph’s With Telephone Calls.

A member |of the St. Joseph’s college faculty called The Republican office this morning and requested that we publish a notice to the public asking that they do not call the college to make inquiries regarding the weather. The college authorities have been bothered unmercifully by people calling. Since cold weather started the daily calls have averaged from twenty-five to thirty. By 8:30 this morning eight people had called. It would seem that the temperature published by The Republican each day would suffice. This is supplied by the authorities of the college. This plant at St. Joseph’s is not a government station and is operated only through the courtesy of the institution. A man is employed almost constantly in taking charge of this station and the college receives no remuneration whatever, and do not feel obliged to answer each individual call. The faculty members are obliged to answer the telephone, as they have no regular operator and it takes up much of their time. Please give this some thought and appreciate the, courtesy extended to this paper by St. Joseph’s. The temperature for the preceding day will be published every day in this paper.

Fell From the Court House Dome At Delphi Sunday.

Delphi Journal. A terrible accident occurred in this city Sunday evening, when Cass Armstrong, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Armstrong, fell from the dome of the new Carroll county court house to the cement basement, a distance of more than 70 feet. The accident occurred about 5 o’clock, just after dark, which by a strang coincidence waa on the same day as his birthday. . The boy was playing with a number of other children, whose cries attracted the attention of passers-by when the accident occurred. He was p>cked up and carried to his home for medical attention. When examined by physicians it was found that no bores were broken but that the boy was suffering from a concussion of the brain, and some terrible bruises. With the exception of a few minutes the boy has been unconscious over 67 hours, in fact, ever since the accident occurred. Latest reports state that the boy is doing fairly well, although he is still in a very critical condition and his recovery remains a matter of much doubt.

The state G. A. R. encampment will be held May 10 and 11, according to an announcement made at the state house by John R. Fesler, assistant adjutant of the department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic. It was decided some time ago that the encampment would be held in Indianapolis some time in 'May, but the •late was not named until the pleasure of W. J. Patterson, of Pittsburg, Pa., commander in chief of the G. A. R., could be learned. The hall for the encampment has not yet been selected. Commander Patterson will attend the encampment. “I wish the Woman’s Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans, United Spanish War Veteran® and other affiliated organizations would please note these dates at once and begin to make arrangements flor a great time,” said Col.
