HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Judge William H. Eichorn of Bluffton, has been agreed upon to sit in the Marion crimmal court aS special judge in the election fraud cases in which Thomas Taggart and 106 others are defendants. Germany's last reply to the American note regarding the torpedoing of the Lusitania and submarine warfare, is not satisfactory to the U. S., and Secretary Lansing is engaging in penning a few lines to der Kaiser informing him of this fact. The information wtll be conveyed to Bill within a few days. Two weeks remain before new automobile owners may escape paying the state license fee for a full year. Several new owners have offered only the half fee to the secretary of state for the licenses, but, contrary to their belief. August 1, instead of July 1, is the earliest date on which a fee for a half year may be accepted. » Herbert Rogers of Wolcott, suffered the loss of a fine 7-passenger Apperson auto Friday evening near Meadow Lake church, south of Wolcott.

A county superintendent in a neighboring county asked every teacher at the county institute who took their local or county paper to hold up their hands and only six responded. The superintendent expressed great surprice and said: “You don’t spent a dollar a year with those papers, yet you expect them to print free of charge, all institutes, insert long programs, expect them to advertise you, without a cent In return.” The notorious George M. Ray, publisher of the Indiana Herald, an alleged Democratic paper run in the interests of the Taggart-Fairbanks-Murphy machine, and erstwhile agent for school supplies, was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail by Judge Collins of the Marion circuit court, last Thursday for an article appearing in Ray’s paper in connection with the recent grand jury investigation of election frauds in Marion county and re-
