The lights have also been applied since last Monday morning from 5:30 which is very much appreciated. More power to your arm Milt is what we say.

Perry McMann who has been confined to the house for several weeks is now out and aronnd.

Some three months ago we had a saturnaia of fighting—three of them I reported in one week. Now we seem to be having ap epidemic of law breaking in another form. This }nme the violators are breaking the -eighth commandment instead of the sixth. Last Wednesday Bill Debruler. wha has been engaged on Jobn M¢Mann’s dredge during the last fall and summer, came to town to transact business. He left after sun down and taking the railroad, which is his nearest way home, a few miles northwest, he was encountered within two -miles from town by three men, two tall men and a short stont fellow, who told him to 'hold up his hands. The night was very dark and suitable for such an exploit, and was to the holdups perfectly satisfactory as Bill was “in short order relieyed of $35, leaving only a few coppers in change. There is a little doubt in the minds of the thinking part of thecommanity that it was the work of local talent.

The second , infrigement of the eighth number of the law was perpetrated sometime between the Sabbatn and Monday morning before sunrise. The location was in the centre of the town and no other than Hank Kreager's saloon. When Doc Pollock, who distributes for Hank. came to work Monday mcraing he found a new ventilator in the shape of a broken pane of glass in the frout window. Gary the other distributor n the establishment has been eungaged the last few days putting his windows in shape to vie with the the other stors keepers in town to show the quality of the goods kept ingide. He had fixed up a nice sil on which ‘he had Wilson, Ringold, etc. This was evidently too much for someone who wanted to have a gooa time at Christmas, but- who was wanting the price. The opportunity came, the goods were there, so making a dash for the window in the still dark night the would-be-without-the-price-fellow broke the window and abstracted what? Two bottles of Ringold retail value §1 and two quart bottles of wild cherry pepsin, value $1.50. The broken window will cost three times as much as the goods stolen. The common mind again say home talent and very amateurist at that, When a fellow breaks into a saloon and takes pepsin for. Wilson he ought to be sent to the inbecile asyleum for life.

Another case of somewhat similar nature occurred last week in the region of the dismal. A farmer there butchered one day and on going to his store room next morning found a large portion of his previous day’s work had mysteriously taken flight during the night. - Marshall Hursey is superintending the repairing of drains on the west gide of Main street. :

The first business meeting of our newly formed Lyceum was held last Monday evening in the High School The subject under discussion was Woman Suffrage. The attendance was limited by the capacity of the room, many returning on account of want of standing room. The subject was handled by three for and three against the question. The pros carried the question in the opinion of the three judges. A Dbox supper originated by the teachers of the high school was held in the Kreager Hall last Tuesday tevening proceeds to go to library.

The Jefferson theater in Goshen 'will end the year 1908 brilliantly, for on New Years Eve, Thursday night, December 31, the Joseph M.

The People Did Not Succeed In Desire to Give Democrats Control e o oh Ragiietare - oo ADVERSE CONTROL IN THE SENATE By Reason of Republican Majority in Upper House, Democrats Cannot ' Hope to Pass Any Bill if the Repub: licans, for Any Party’ Reason, Vote Solidly Againgt It. : Indianapolis, Ind., December 22.— No one is prepared to say af this time just what bills of special importance will be intr}duced during the coming 'session of the ' legislature. There are several matters that will receive particular attention, but there is a very general hope that no time will be. wasted on inconsequential things. Sixty days every two years is not a long time for the consideration of the welfare of three millions of people, but ordinarily it is quite long enough provided the members of the legislature confine their labors to the proposals that are really essential. This, it is believed, will be done at the coming session .in a much larger degree than in former years. The Democratic members in both house and senate feel their responsibility. In the house, where they have a majority, they can be héld to account for what is-done or not done. In the senate, where the Republicans control, the Democrats can not hope-to pass any bill if the Republicans, for any party reason, vote solidly against it. This matter is referred te only that the record may be kept straight on any future question of responsibility. There is no doubt that the people desired to give the Democrats complete control of the <legislature, but they didn’t quite sucteed, which is cause for regret. The Democrats realize, however, that if they come up to the public expectation in the use of such power as has been placed in their hands they will be put in full possession of state affairs two years hence.

Governor Marshall’s first message is expected to throw a strong light on the situation. While he has repeatedly made it plain that he will not at any time or in any way invade the province of the legislature, the constitution. makes it the duty of the governor to give to the general assembly “information touching the condition of the state,” and to “recommend such measures as he shall judge to be expedient.” Under this constitutional provision it will be within Governor Marshall’s power to indicate a rather complete program if he shall consider it important to do so. He has not made public what he will do along this line, and doubtless will not do so until his inauguration, but his first message will be read with a great deal more interest than usually attaches to such documents. * % = The legislature will meet and organize on Thursday, Jan. 7, at which time retiring Governor Hanly will submit his final pronouncement. There is some curiosity as to what Mr. Hanly} will say. He entered office. with an attack upon the administration of his! predecessor, Governor Durbin, and itf is not improbable that on disappearing into the capacious political grave which has been dug for him by his party associates he will leave behind an official last will and testament that will cause those same associates to sit up and take notice. Just what form the devises and bequests will take no one is likely to know until the will is read before the expectant mourners and interested spectators. - If Governor Hanly has his way, Luman K. Babcock will be his executor in the house. Mr. Babcock is now private secretary, a job that he will -have to surrender on taking his seat as a representative. He aspires to the floor leadership of the Republican minority, a position which, if reached, will enable him to champion with authority the recommendations of his extinguished chief. As the minority in the house is not expected to accomplish much, there is not likely to be any great fight over the leadership unless it comes up between the Hanly and anti-Hanly people, and Babcock may get it, but it is doubtful. Over on the west side side of the statehouse, in the senate, Will R. Wood of Lafayette, a former partner and bosom friend of Hanly's, has been settled on by the Republican members, so it is said, as president pro tem. This honor carries with it the leadership of the Republican forces in that body. . ; , Two years ago Senator Wood had a falling out with his his chum, the governor, and the best he can expect is to be a sort of administrator de bonus non of his political goods and chattels, including a few frazzled policies with which, it is said, he does not agree. But there seems to be objection to Wood's elevation to thi§ seat of the mighty. Here comes the Noblesville Ledger, edited by Will Craig, head of the publicity bureau of the Republican state organization, and declares that the Republicans of Tippecance county, from whick Wood hails, “should recede or withdraw from the state,” because they are “never in' touch with the principles and policles of the pj‘rt‘y.u * b 4 :i, ! g e It does really seem next to impossible for any W%Mber of Republicans to agree with each other these days. If it turns out that Han. ly’s loyal friend and beneficiary, Bab: cock, shall lead the Republicans in the house and the expatriated Wood shall lead them in the senate, then .surely the door is flung wide to demoraliza tion, which already ‘'stands grinning wherever the faithful meet. *Regard: less of what the senate Republicans ‘may do, whether led by Mr. Wood or learn what they are going to do. It Is ‘believed that in doing this he was ine ee i

spired by Goverfod Hanly. The latter is still in office and is much more impressive now than he will be three weeks later when he becomes a mere private citizen. All persons present at this meeting will not forget that Mr. Hanly regards his “policies” as still vital. The man who refused to stand for them during the session can never afterward expect favors of any sort from the Hanly wing of the party. But while the busy Babcock is herding his flock of ‘- representatives, the gloomy Wood and his cohorts in the senate only sneer. The portent jof all this is istakable. - E 2 ' * = W The Democrats are at last going to have a club house in Indianapolis that will measure up to the necessities and dignity of the party. The Indiana Democratic club, which .is both a local and state institution, is preparing to build a capacious home which will cost anywhere between $BO,OOO and $150,000. I am assured that the matter is a certainty. Democrats who help the project along, whether they reside in Indianapolis or not, will be doing a good thing for both themselves and the party MILLARD F. COX. The Gun Barrels Grew. : In the early days in the northwest, when the Hudson Bay company laid the foundations of great fortunes by trade with the savages and a gun paid for as many beaver skins as would reach to the muzzle of it, the skins packed flat and the gun held upright, it was alleged that the barrel of the weapon grew and grew with each successive year until the Indian, after he had bought it with the peltry, had to borrow a file and cut off a foot of useless metal.

The respective death rates are 11.9 and 12. ‘Consumption leads with 278 deaths then comes pneumonia with 219, Adding to this the 21 deaths from influenza, we have a total of 518 or 51 per cent.of the-total. This means that over one-half the deaths of the month of November were due to diseases of the respiratory passages. This class of diseases is induced almost always by the excessive breathing of foul air and over eating. If people would ventilate bed rooms, sitting rooms, churches, schools, offices, and all rooms thoroughly, would exercise daily in the open air, and would eat temperately, the deaths from ' respiratory diseases would fall enormously.

The typhoid deaths numbered 113; in the corresponding month last year, 140, Diphtheria deaths numbered 48; and in the corresponding month last year,34. Diphtheria was epidemic in several places in November. - !/

In suppressing epidemics of diphtheria the health department found it very difficult indeed to secure the co-operation of all the people. Of course, the intelligent and educated, with rare exception, gave their hearty co-operation. At Earl Park opposition to fighting the disease appeared in the council, among bnsiness men, and others. Itis bard to made the people understand that diphtheria can exist in mild form and that frequently a slight illness supposed to be a celd is really diphtheria. These mild, and so called “blind cases’’ of diphtheria are the means of widely distributing the infection and causing epidemics. Epidemics are rarely caused by the spread of infection from severe cases of diphtheria because those cases generally quarantine themselves, and precautions are taken against them. People do not like to have their children quarantined, even if they carry the infection of diphtheria, provided they are not sick. Even when the sickness is moderately severe, there is -opposition to quarantine because of the inconvenience it causes. Scarlet fever caused 5 deaths; whooping cough, 20; diarrhoeal diseases, 77; cerebro-spinal meningitis, 8; puerpural fever, 8; cancer, 136; violence 176. ,There were two deaths from hydrophobia. The decedants’ names were Laura W, Green, who «ied in Knox county, November 10; and Peter C. Gross who died in Vigo county, Nov. 6. : ~ Tonsilitis was reported as the most ‘prevalent disease ; typhoid fever lead ‘in October. This month typhoid fever stands third in area of prevalence, The order of disease prevalence was as follows: tonsilitis, bronchitis, - typhoid fever (enteric,) rheumatism, diphtheria and membranous croup, influenza, pneumonia scarlet fever, pleuritis, intermittent and remittent fever, diarrhoea,. typho malaria fever, chickenpox, erysipelas, inflammation of the bowels,swhooping cough,dysentery, cholera infantum, cholera morbus,smallpox, puerpural fever, cerebro-spinal meningitis, and measles. : e Guilty of Conterfeiing Passing .conterfeit money is no worse than substituting some unB B Craghiand oom-md;;ﬂom the most obP YL r,‘,?ﬁ”@&@«g,‘ .e,w,?-a-, »m ‘,‘,M e ey il sy aforally i AR PN ey LT e

“The Witchiug Hour” Great Play to Be ' Been In Goshen Next Wednesday Night The importance of The Witching Hour at the Jefferson in Goshen next Wednesday night as a play will be cumulative. It is impossible to describe in the ordinary space of dramatic reporting the personality, the force. and the effect of ‘this play; and it is not easy to convey a suffi‘cient idea of its method and art. Its subject can be declared in cold terms ‘that are understandable. It is the ‘dramatization of telepathy. That thoughts are conveyed from mind to to mind by some subtle medium other than words we all know. Bnt how, when, where, in what measure —these are. untrodden fields, new fields, vastly interesting, already peered into by all thinking beings—interestif)g to aven a hodcarrier as well as the man of finest culture. The dynamic force of a thought, the fact that it is an entity launched into being by a buman and having its effect upon mankind and for which we are responsible, is 'a thought, big, tremendous, one which humanity is obliged to handle, classify, chart analyze in the near future. Romance, superstition, love, tragedy the whole gamut of life’'s scheme, can be traversed by a story of telepathy. This is ~ what Augustus Thomas bas accomplished in his wonderful, touching, inspiring story of a large man’s, a noble man’s character developement. It is the most important happening that the stage has seen in a lifetime. Augustus Thomas has used the dramatic form of expression to set forth a thesis and a message will go far and strike deep is as sure as the rising of the sun. :

In theripe power of his faculties, in the meridian of his artistic life, this dramatist has wrought well and forecefully, and its whole realm of dramatic literature. The simplicity of bis strength, the perfect symmetry of his technique, the intellectual stability of his dialogue, the judgement and skill of his dramatic who has grown up to his masterpiece—labored until he was able to give to the world the best that was in him. The glow, the ring, the timbre, the quality, the pealing, certain tone of the message, cannot be mistaken. The play holds you from the opening line, and is the best dramatic achievement this country has ever known. It is the one great American play.
