OBITUARIES $1.00 CARDS OF THANKS 25
The death of Senator Taylor of Tennessee, in Washington Sunday, makes the death rate of United States Senators more than 10 per cent, in three years. Senator Shiveley, of Indiana says that the sanitation of the Senate Chamber is not as it should be, and he holds that it is indirectly responsible for a number of deaths of Senators. He may offer a resolution calling for an investigation by a committee of the.Senate of alleged defects in the Senate's sanitation. Defects may exist, but the lives many Senators lead in Washington are not conducive of health and long life.
Emsley Johnson a Candidate. Emsley W. Johnson, of Indianapolis, son-in-law of Dr. L. B. Griffin, of this city, has announced his candidacy for the Republiean nomination for Prosecuting Attorney of Marion county. In a letter sent to the workers of his party, Mr. Johnson says that he believes the prosecution can do much toward lessening the evils of divorces. He says that if elected he would have his deputies in all courts to aid the judges in obtaining all possible information concerning the cases and insist on every precaution being taken to protect the interests of children affected by the decision of the court.
He also says he believes in the probation system, especially in the first offenses, where it is believed that leniency shown will do good and help a man up and at the same time uphold the law in its enforcement. His idea of the probation system is that all affairs connected with its practice should be open and subject to the closest inspection by the public.

KILLS A LARGE IN OLD BRAiYHE
Roy Colelazier Made Unusual Catch of Large White Swan—Will Have Bird .Mounted.
Roy Colelazier. age 18, son of Hiram Colelazier, of R. R. 4, in Brandywine township, while hunting ducks Thursday afternoon, shot and killed a large white swan, which measured six feet and eight inches between tip of wings. The bird was in Brandywine, and the boy was so delighted with the result of his marksmanship that he doffed his coat and waded into the stream after his game. This is perhaps the largest bird of the kind killed in the county in a long time. The father took the bird to Cumberland, where a taxidermist will mount it.
EARLY MORNING HRE DID MUCH DAMAGE
Rats and a Match Blamed For the Blaze at Home of Moses Williams on Osage Street at
About 3 O'clock a. m.
Mr. Williams discovered the fire
when he arose to administer some medicine to his children who were coughing. He found the house full of smoke and ran at once to the home of a neighbor, who sent in the fire alarm. It was seen at once
the blaze, and Mr. Williams, with the help of neighbors, soon emptied the house of its contents in the way of furniture, which was saved without much damage. The firemen fought valiantly, but the house is almost a wreck, probably damaged beyond repair. It is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Snow.
The fire originated in a part of the house used by Mr. Williams, in which to keep his carpenter and other tools, and the only theory of the fire that is reasonable is that a bird or rat had carried a match there in constructing a nest, and it was ignited by a rat or mouse gnawing it.

for the renter to go who no longer wants to pay out the bulk of his earnings in rent where lands are so high-priced that they can be owned by the wealthy alone. It is is the place for the man to go who want to work for himself. Nowhere can one find land for sale at $10 to $35 per acre that can be made to so quickly produce a living.
MANY FARMERS from Indiana and the north and central states are going to a district in Michigan where new towns are rapidly growing and a thriving community is being established. This district is in Mason, Manistee and Lake counties, in a large tract of land known as the Swigart Tract. Here an agricultural developement is going on that is more rapid than has ever been seen in the state.
