ROAD LAW IS UPHELD

Supreme Court Reverses Self in Sweep

ing Decision Tuesday—Millions

Were Tied Up in Bonds

The three mile road law is constitutional. This was the decision handed down Tuesday afternoon by the supreme court of the State after the case had been re-argued and the judges had gone over the arguments of the lawyers. The opinion of the court, upholding the law was written by Judge Hadley, Judges Montgomery and Myers concurring and Judges Jordan and Monks dissenting.

This decision has beeij, anxiously awaited all over the State, as the decision declaring the law unconstitutional worked havoc all over the State and tied up many roads, which were under construction. The decision holds that the three mile road law is constitutional and that the law permitting the building of roads by petition is also constitutional. In fact the decision was the exact opposite of the one handed down by the supreme court in December.

When the other decision came there were $15,000,000 invested in bonds, which were issued under the laws held unconstitutional. These have all been held up in away Jpending the result of the rehearing, which the supreme court granted some time ago.

There were several roads in this county that were affected by the former decision and the present one. Two roads were under construction, South State street here and Staats street at Fortville, when the first decision was given and the pay for completed roads was held up also. The uncompleted work will probably be resumed now as soon as weather and conditions will permit.

GREAT REVIVAL SUNDAY

The revival meetings at the Bradley M. E. Church Sunday attracted many hundreds of people at the various services. In the morning service, which was a continuation of the Sunday School, there were conversions and great enthusiasm and power were shown. The pastor Rev. Line made a strong appeal which touched many hearts because of his earnestness and sincerity.

In the afternoon a splendid meeting was held and at six o'clock a meeting for young converts in the study was held, while the Epworth League meeting was going on in the chapel. When Prof. Stover opened the praise service at seven o'clock the church was filled to the dome, auditorium, Sunday School rooms, chapel and galleries were crowded with people standing. The great volume of music from three instruments and hundreds of throats, rose and fell and filled and thrilled, demonstrating the power of music over heart and mind.

The sermon of Evangelist Johnson was one of the most powerful and pointed of the many he has preached. He took as a basis for the sermon, the passage of scripture which reads as follows. "Be Ye Not Deceived, God is Not Mocked for Whatsoever a Man Soweth, that shall he also reap."

The sermon showed deep thought and went right^fo the heart of the subject. It was shown sin always collected its pay with good interst. The dance, card playing, theater going, gambling, cigarette smoking and drinking were all discussed and it was shown that many who sowed to these things have reaped ruin, dispair and death.

STATION SAFE BLOWN 5

Interurban Office Wrecked by Would-

The force was so great that the heavy safe door was blown across the office room, breaking the sink and water pipes and then demolishing a heavy desk on the opposite side of the room to the safe. The innei door of the safe, which is of steel and a half inch in thickness, was forced inward and wedged in such a manner that it would have taken an expert some time to remove it. Water from the broken pipes flooded the office, which presented a very deplorable appearance.

When employes entered the office about 6 o'clock they found the safe's contents intact. It is not known how much money was in the safe, as the Company made no statement, but it was probably a goodly sum. The noise made by the explosion, it is thought, frightened the safe blowers away without any further attempt to secure the money.

It is the general opinion that the attempted robbery was by home talent as it was a very crude piece of work in every particular. The only clever thing about the whole scheme was the fact that they waited until after Mr. Johnson, the nightwatchman, had made his last round in that part of the city and this fact leads many to believe that they were local men who knew Mr. Johnson's hour.

From facts learned Saturday it is believed that there were three people implicated in the robbery and as today was pay day on the road, they probably expected to make a rich haul.

AFFIDAVITS ARE FILED

Court of Inquiry Has Result- Some

Tobacco and Cigarette Dispenses are

in The Toils—Will Insist on Maxi

mum Penalty,

Several affidavits were filed this morning by the prosecuting attorney against various pool rooms, barber shops, cigar dealers, grocers and druggists charging them with selling 'tobacco to children under sixteen years of age. The charges arte now pending in Squire Gimasons .court and grew out of a court of inquiry held last Fri-# day by the prosecuting attorney. Under the statutes it is made the express duty of the prosecuting attorney to enforce the provisions of the acts applying to the sale of tobacco to children under sixteen years of age and of cigarettes to minors and Mr. Quigley says that he will vigorously prosecute any person whatsoever who sells or gives away tobacco or cigarettes in violation of the previsions of the statute. He says he vculd also remind some cf the older users of tobacco that they will be liable for contributing to the delinquency of children (a serious offence) in case they give away tobacco to young Doys under sixteen or cigarettes to boys under twenty-one or in any way encourage either or induce minors to learn to smoke. Dealers in tobacco upon a second offense may be given a jail sentence. "I shall insist upon the maximum penalty being imposed should these offenders violate the law a second time" said the prosecuting attorney today.

Harry Wilfong, of the Columbia Barber shop, plead guilty Monday afternoon to a charge of selling tobacco to minors. The fine was $10.00 and costs making about $18.75.

Ed Custer also plead guilty for Thomas Sullivan. Claude Fort and John Early, of Early's drug store plead guilty Tuesday evening before Squire D. C. Gimason on charge of selling tobacco" to minors. They were given the minimum fine and costs being 18.50.

PAY NOW-PAY NOW

Why not pay now, early in the year, starting your subscription with all arrearges paid and an advance payment for this year. You pay that way for all your other papers why not for this one. You can and we think you will. If you cannot call at the office, r&mit by check or postofflce money order. Let us hear from you as quickly as possible."

be Robbers—Door Blown Across

Room and Broken Water Pipe Floods

Office—Money Remained Intact—

Surely Home Talent. The safe at the T. H., I. & E. Interurban station was blown at 4:45 o, clock Saturday morning by wouldbe robbers, who were foiled in their attempt to get the money, however. The person or persons used nitropowder and were evidently unaccustomed to its use, as the charge was much too heavy and this fact probably saved the money

the company. The explosion was so loud that it was heard by people a square away.

Road tax receipts must be presented to the Treasurer in order to receive credit for same. The Treasurer will not be responsible for penalties and charges on delinquent. taxes, resulting from any omission of the person paying such tax to state definitely on what property, in whose name and what township or corporation it was assessed.

The Treasurer cannot make any reduction in taxes, and cannot refund money after once paid in. All errors must be corrected by the Auditor. Examine your receipts before leaving the office, and see that all your property, both real and personal, is described.

Particular Attention.—Those who have land and lots, or other property, in more than one township, must see that they have a re ceipt for all. Call for property in name of owner March 1,1909. Tax duplicates are made on that date and never change.

County warrants will not be paid to persons owing delinquent taxes. The annual sale of delinquent lands and lots will take place on the second Monday in February, 1910.

Administrators, guardians, agents and others who pay taxes on property in trust and persons whose taxes are complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., are requested to settle such taxes before the last few weeks, as it takes time to make the divisions and make separate receipts therefor.

Don't ask me to make out your receipt and lay it away until next week. Examine your receipts and change before leaving the counter and see that they are right. I will not be responsible for mistakes in making change after the party leaves the office. .## No communication answered unless stamp enclosed. Office hours: 8 o'clock a. m., to 4 o'clock p. m.

BY ORDER OF THE STATE AUDITOR: fl^The Treasurer's office will positively close at 4 o'clock p. m., on the first Monday of May, and the first Monday of November, and the penalty will attach to all taxes unpaid at that hour. No tax receipts will be held out until taxes are paid in full.
