BEWARE OF THE DICTAGRAPH.
Some spell it dictagraph. But whatever it is this new fangled telephonic device is destined to work havoc with grafters. Graft trappers have devised It. It is now up to the grafters to use their brains to make the
dictagraph an impotent article.
On Saturday there was sentenced to the penitentiary in Columbus an latter bein
official of the Ohio state senate, whose conviction rests mainly on the little bouts.

history will show that Gary was the second place where it was to be em
ployed. Whether it will result in the conviction of any of the steel city's
officials will have to be revealed by time.
