are ready to poll a full vote. '

Iowa Town is in Quandary. As a result of the new antipass law it is probable that all of the city officials in - West-Burlington, Iowa will resign their offices. A peculiar situation exists in that community, which is made up principally of railroad employes. AH of , the city officials are either officials or em

ployes of the railroad companies and as such are entitled under the law to use of passes, but as city officials are prohibited from riding on any kind of free railroad transportation. As city officials they receive from $10 to $25 a year for their services and they hold that passes arc of more value to them that city offices.

Good Luck for Orphan. Ft. Wayne papers tell of the ood luck of Charles Cecil, adopted son of R. W. Cecil and wife, lie was adopted by them during the world's fair at Chicago, and has lived with them ever since, assuming their name and going as one of their children. Young Cecil, as he is now known, was named Pignide when adopted and was one of the children who were put in an orphanage by a church organization at that place. Time went apace and the children lost sight of each other. Recently a search of several years by one of Charles' brothers was rewarded by finding the latter in Ft. Wayne with the Cecils where he had been well cared for. The children fell heirs to an estate in St. Louis recently and

the result is that the boy has a good lift in the world through

the finding of him by his brother. The Cecils are well known here. They built the residence on Sophia street now owned by Mr. Artz and resided there several years.

The bride has been for manyyears a resident of thiscity, her parents being among the first settlers of Marshall county. She has been for a number of years in. the employ of Ball & Co., and is well and favorably known as an exemplary lady in every respect.

state, and with hickory switches mercilessly whipped his brother, George Wooten. The victim was asleep in the barn when the whitecaps came. He says there were about forty maskell men in the party. He was dragged from the barn and tied to a post, where the asault took place. In endeavoring. with his arms to ward off the blows his shoulders were shockingly bruised and cut. From head to foot he is covered with injuries. "They told me I had disturbed al religious meeting," said Wootcn. "I did nothing but grab the preacher by the throat and choke him a few times when he said, 'There is nobody in hell but Campbbellites." My father was a Campbellite."

A Fish Story. The biggest fish story of the season comes from Lake Maxinkuckee. It is said that a dead fish weighing 75 pounds was found floating on the water Friday. It is supposed that death was caused by old age and the intense heat, and the fish commissioner will be asked to have the skin of the big fish stuffed and preserved to show future generations the kind of fish we had in 190G.

State Tax Board Adjourns. The state tax board of commissioners, which adjourned its l'JOü meetings Thursday, added over $17,000,000 to the tax,, duplicate of the state a larger fincrease than was ever noted before. This increase was largely due to increases in the assessment of large corporations transportation for the most part. The largest single increase was that of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal company, which was almost doubled, from about $4,000,000 to about $7,000,000. The Western Union Telegraph company's assessment was raised, too, as was that ot.the Southern Indiana, Monon and a few other railroads. .

Council Meeting. At the council meeting Monday evening, D. L. Dickinson and others presented a petition to abate insurance. It was referred to the city attorney. The bond of John M.

The repairing of ' Brownlee bridge was referred to committee for investigation. City engineer was directed to prepare grade for East Laportc street. The sidewalk resolution was passed and additional notices for new sidewalks were ordered. There were no bids on Washington street sewer and it was ordered readvertised for Sept. 10th. . Resolution for sewer on East Garro street was adopted and the assessment of East Sophia street was confirmed. The Plum street bond ordinance was passed. The council finally decided to take charge of all necessary steps for improvement at ""water works and the clerk was ordered to notify- delinquent water users to pay all arrearages within ten days ,and in case of non-p:;y-ment water shall be turned off.

The matter of fountain at corner of Garro and Water streets was referred to water works committee with power to act.

Different Meanings. Some words in our language

have several meanings, each dif

ferent, from the others, so that

it is not always possible to know

at first just what thought the

speaker wishes to express. There

is the word humanitarian for instance. If you will turn to your Webster you will find that it means, first, one who denies the divinity of Christ and believes him to have been merely human; second, one who limits the sphere of duties to human relations and affections to the exclusion of the religious or spiritual; third, one who is actively concerned in promoting the welfare of his kind, a philanthropist The third sense is the one in which the word is now most frequently used, and Webster marks this definition as "recent."

The tall- is ueart. When gathering huckleberries at the head waters of Potter's Creek, W. Va., Friday Beirne

fMcCormick was bitten by a rat

tlesnake, the reptile sinking its fangs into his finger and hanging on until shaken off. In a nearby field two calves were attempting to feed from a cow. Thoroughly frightened McCormick leaped the fence,

caugnt one ot the calves and placed the bitten finger in the animal's mouth. The calf immediately began sucking forcibly on McCormick's poison filled finger, drawing all the venom into its own system. McCormick has suffered but little from the effects of the bite, but the calf is dead.

Speculating Sharks. The notorious policy king of New York, Al. Adams, after serving his term in prison, organized a bucket shop with branches all over the country. It is reported that he found it profitable to fleece the little lambs who think they know something about stocks and 'change. Whether or not he has made money, his company has now found it advisable to fail for $2,000,000. Country correspondents are yet to be heard from. The rea losers are the people of small means who have entrusted their savings to these speculating sharks.

Appeals French Lick Case. , The appeal of the state in the I'rench Lick and West Baden gambling cases, was filed in the supreme court at Indianapolis Thursday by Attorney General Miller . The appeal is from the ruling of Judge Thomas Buskirk of the Orange county circuit court that the facts stated in the quo warranto proceedings were not sufficient to warrant the appointment of temporary receivers for the hotel companies and an injunction against gambling, and also from the decision thai the state had not 'proceeded in compliance with special acts to which he ruled procedure was limited.

The State and the Mob. In an address to the pople of North Carolina, issued as the immediate result of the recent lynching at Salisbury, Governor Glenn has made it perfectly plain that he docs not intend to longer temporize with the forces of evil in his State. Hereafter the soldiers in the service of the Commonwealth will be instructed to fire on the crowd, in all cases where violence is threatened, whenever the sheriff of the county in which the trouble occurs deems it necessary to take such a step.

Train Kills Operator's Wifr. While riding on a speeder from Leiters to Germany, small stations west of Rochester on the Erie railroad, Mr. and Mrs, Leslie Ralston were struck by an east bound pasengcr train at S o'clock Tuesday evening and Mrs. Ralston was instantly killed, her body being ground to pieces. Ralston is an operator at Germany and lives at Leiters. He was being taken to work by his wife when the train struck the speeder. The man was knocked off backward and escaped injury. Mrs. Ralston was 21 years old and had been married about a year.
