A five-year-old boy has been on the pay rolls of the Ohio House of Representatives as a page at $2.50 per day. They learn ’em to graft early in Ohio. It is not generally known, but the year 1905 passed into history without a single silver dollar to its coinage credit. A similar condition has not occurred for twentyseven years. The bullion was all used in casting smaller coins to meet the increased demand. District Chairman James K. Risk has appointed Bro. Roby of the Benton Review a member of executive committee of the democratic state organization. The honor is well bestowed. Bro. Roby has labored hard for party success and we are glad to see that it is appreciated.

The feeling that the editors of the republican papers of Indiana have towaid Governor Hanly and his exposures of crooked state officials is shown from the snub given him last week at the Republican Editorial Association meeting at Indianapolis. It has always been the custom for them to invite the governor of the state to attend their banquet, but the politicians—who are usually grafters and in politics for what they can get out of it —are against Hanly’s anti stealing of public funds policy, and as practically all the republican editors are owned body and soul by the proses aional politicians of their party, Governor Hanly was not invited to attend this meeting

The Indianapolis News contained a very striking oartoon Tuesday evening which reminded one of former conditions in this county. It showed a court bouse across the front of which was stretched a banner on which was painted the words, “County Convention.” About a dozen bankers were making their way hurriedly to the convention hall, each one carrying in a shawl.strap, suit-case or in under his arm, a candidate for county treasurer. It called to mind very forcibly the action of the McCoys in nominating and electing the treasurer of Jasper county in 1902. The cartoon was intended to show the evil effects of “political banking,” and its immediate connection with “Gue” Conzman, the Terre Haute banker

who has just been sentenced to eight years imprisonment and has this week been taken to Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., to join the colony of Hoosier bankers who are temporary sojourners there as guests of this government.

DENMARK IS BEREAVED

Danes Are In Mourning Over the Death of Their Venerable Ruler. FULL OF TEARS HE GOES TO REST Beloved by His People and Trusted by All Who Knew Him. “Father-in-Daw” of Europe, He Was Called Related to Moot of the Royal Families. > ■■ ■ Copenhagen. Jan. 30.—King Christian IX, the oldest monarch in Europe, died yesterday at 3:30 p. m., aged 87 years. His death was unexpected and causes the greatest sorrow among his people, by whom he was greatly beloved for his many splendid qualities of heart and mind. It also plunges into mourning nearly all the royal courts of Europe, to which be was

allied by ties of blood or marriage. Prince Frederic, Christian’s eldest living son, will succeed to the throne. Prince Carl, Frederic’s son, was recently chosen king of Norway. —. the king's bedside when he died were the crown prince and the crown princess and their children, and the dowager empress of Russia.

On the Throne' Forty-Two Years. The news of his majesty’s death spread with great rapidity and signs of the greatest grief were to lie seen everywhere. The news was conveyed to the Danish lower house, which immediately suspended its sittings. King Christian ruled long and wisely. He was on the throne forty-two years, since Nov. 15, 1808. Only one other European potennte, Francis Joseph of Austria, has swayed a scepter for a longer period. and to no other has been given so much happiness in the sphere of the home as well as in affairs of state.

Related to Many Thrones, No other royal family of Europe has formed so many matrimonial alliances with other great reigning houses. One of King Christian's daughters is the queen of England; another is the dowager empress of Russia: his eldest son, George, is king of Greece, and one grandson. Prince Charles, married the Princlees Maude, a daughter of King Edward of England. All of Klug Christian’s six children are married and have large families, there being thirtyfour grandchildren and several greatgrandchildren.

DE KOI EST MORT; VIVE DE ROI New King Proclaimed—Something of Him and His Queen. Copenhagen, Jan. 30.—The accession of the successor of King Christian was proclaimed at noon today. The new king is Frederick VIII, eldest son of the late king. The new king of Denmark ascends the throne In his (Rind year, but bears the weight of his years lightly and is almost as popular with the people of Denmark as was his father. It was Frederick’s curious fate to see bls younger brother and his own son become reigning monarchs of Greece and Norway, respectively, while he himself was still an heir-ap-parent.

The new queen, Louisa, is reputed to be the tallest and richest princess In Europe. She Is a handsome woman of the blonde type, and reflects the beauty of her famous grandmother, Desiree Clary, the tradesman’s daughter who captivated Bonaparte and was married to Marshal Bernadotte, who subsequently became king of Sweden and Norway. The new queen inherited large fortunes both from Prince Frederick of the Netherlands and Prince Charles of Sweden. Nevertheless she and her husband have adhered to the simplicity characteristic of the Danish court, showing the nation the happy spectacle of a united couple living on terms of the closest affection and sympathy with their eight children. Telegrams and cablegrams of condolence are pouring in, including messages from all the sovereigns of Europe. the Danish colonies. and the United States, one of the flrot being from the president of that country. Premier Christensen tendered the resignation of the cabinet to the new king, who expressed a wish that the present ministry should continue to carry on the affairs of the government. Every flag In the city is at halfmast; all places of amusement are closed, and the people walk the streets as though they were passing through the chamber of death itself. When the flag

flying over the palace was placed at half-mast the news spread from month to mouth, but was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assembled in the sqnare in front cf the Amallenborg palace; but when uncertainty gave place to certainty those tn the assemblage abed tears and dispersed in respectful silence, many baring their heads and saluting the palaeo as they went by.

FATHER-IN-LAW OF EUROPE Most of the Royal Houses in the Old W.<rld in Mourning. London, Jan. 30. —The sudden death of King Christian of Denmark, called the “father-in-law of Europe,” will place the majority of the royal houses of Europe in mourning. His sons and daughters were preparing for their annual trip to Copenhagen to celebrate his 88th birthday. Queen Alexandra received the news of the death of her father at Windsor. It came as a great shock to her, as apparently there had been no previous intimation of his indisposition. Occupying the throne of a minor kingdom, Christian, by reason sf his great abilities, his uprightness, fairness and personal charm, became the most influential monarch in Europe. His counsel was in frequent demand by his h.-other rulers, and many times it is said that the peace of Europe has been preserved through his wise and moderate advice. He was often called on to act as arbiter or umpire to settle International disputes, and each decision gained him added fame as a wise and just judge. He was also eminent for his personal purity and honesty. He was bora April 8. 1818. In view of the death of the king of Denmark the official and other engagements in which the British court is concerned will be postponed or cancelled. It is expected that a memorial service in honor of the late king will be held in the chapel royal, St. James palace, simultaneously with the funeral services held in Denmark. In Great Britain the death of King Christian of Denmark is regarded as a personal loss. Many of the London newspapers appeared today with mourning borders. The news is generally announced as the death of the “queen’s father,” and everywhere the strongest sympathy goes out to the queen.

VICEROY’S AID IS ASSASSINATED

General Griaznoff Killed by a Bomb Thrower at Tiflis, Caucasia— Assassin Captured. Tiflis, Caucasia, Jan. 31. —General Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, was assassinated, the manner of the crime being dramatic and audacious. The assassin evidently had studied the habits of his victim and lay in wait behind a wall of the Alexander garden, opposite the entrance of the palace, where a carriage was drawn up to take the general for his daily drive. As the general stepped into the carriage the man sprang on the wall, swung a can by a cord and the bomb, is if thrown from a sling, with marvelous precision sped straight to the mark and struck the general on the neck. A flash of fire and terrific explosion followed and Griaznoff was literally blown out of the carriage and with his coachman, Cossack orderly and the latter's horse, was Instantly killed. A woman who was passing at the time of the explosion, was mortally wounded. The assassin was captured.
