Democratic Congressmen Favor Inheritance Tax. The Democratic congressmen from Indiana had a conference Tuesday an the subject of the Democratic state platform. Some time ago State Chair man "Stokes" Jackson inviud them to submit rhcir views as to what would should gm in the platform. Representative William E. Cox believes that the Democratic state convention should declare for an inheritance tax law and he will insist that f.uch a plank be incorporated. He says there is no reason why Indiana shocild be behind other states in taxing inheritances. The New York law yields that state $4,500,000 every yar, he says, while the revenue tha: Massachusetts derives from its inheritance tax alw is about $1,000,000 annually. The Democratic congressman are unanimous in agreeing that the state platform should contain strong tariff rcfunn and anti-trust planks. The congressmen will, hold further conferences before they forward a draft oft their views to Chairman Jackson. Tired of Bossism.

WILLIAM 0'KEEFE FOR GOVERNOR

WARSAW PAPER BOOMS EXTREASURER OF MARSHALL COUNTY AS GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATEWOULD GET LARGE SUPPORT. The Warsaw Uniorn is out in a long article booming William O'Keefe for governor. It declares that he is a man of the people, honest, brainy and practical, and can get more votes than any other man the Democrats can nominate. Mr. O'Keefe treats the matter lightly; the thought of being a candidate for governor nas not enered his mind; but there is no telling what will happen in the Democratic convention with so many candidates seeking the nomination. We should be sorry to see Mr. O'Keefe nominated because there would be no chance for him tol pvercome the immense Republican majority in Indiana and he could not well afford the expense of a losing compaign. There is, however, no dorubt that h-is work as a reformer of county and state offices would make him a very strong candidate as a vote getter with the people. Senator John W. Parks, when the subject of Mr. O'Keefe' candidacy was mentioned, said to a leading Republican, "Well, I have been around the governor's office a great deal, and I believe that 'it would be hard to find a Democrat that would make a better governor than William O'Keefe. He is a clean cut, honest man, has practical common sense, firmness and energy, and would doubtless receive a large support." Collinwood School Fire Inexcusable. "The loss of the lives of the children in 'he Collinwood school fire was abs(Jutely inexcusable," Coroner Burke declared Tuesday, after a thorough investigation into the causes of the tire and the reasons why the children were caught "in the halKvay and ?urned wirhout being able to escape. "The poor children were caugV n a veritable trap and held and :rush?.l until burned to death," 1e said. "Someune is responsible for th's nd should be held. I am not prepared yet to say upon whom the blame should be placed. .It is a'mattcr so scricus that I must take full t'me t consider. Before I charge anyone with this responsibility I must review the evidence carefully and deliberateIy. "I find that the steam pipes caused the fire by being placed too closeiy to the wood of the joists. There i neu doubt in my mind that the overheated pipes caused the fire. "But the children should have escaped and would have done s" had it not beVn for the partitition built in the hall at the foot of the stairway. This is what caused their death." The coroner said the building was also deficient -in the lack of mechanical devices for opening the doors. He will send in his verdict probably early in the coming week. Another body was recovered from th ruins Tuesday making the total 160 Restore Life to Dead. Scientific circles in France are greatly interested in 'the repoirt just made of how life wasapparently recalled by three physicians in a young girl supposed to be dead. Although the patient was recalled to consciousness, however, the attempt to keep her alive failed. The operation was j erformed at Versailles. The body of the girl was immersed in warm water subjected to v rythmic electrification. At intervals sulphuric acid was added to the water. One of the physicians also made hypnotic passes before the face of the patient. After three hours treatment the girl opened her eyes. Sue said when she fell asleep there was a period otf complete prostration and a growing ensation' of cold. Then her thought left her body altogether. "I could see myself lying there while I' heard the so?tnd of distant music," the girl explained. "Suddenly there was a delicate shexk. The last tie uniting me and my body was broken. Then, as though gifted with ,econd sight, I saw a terrible sight great monsters fighting for my boily" At this point, it is related, the girl suddenly became hysterical. In administering morphine to quiet her, an overdose was given, and the heart action ceased. All night efforts to agahi recall her to life were continued, but without avail. Portugal's King to Wed Daughter of the Kaiser?' Newspapers at Lisbon state that negotiations are afoot to bring about the marriage of King Manuel and Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of Emperor William. The proposal will be discussed when the kaiser makes his promised visit of condolence to the queen mother, Amclie. The public officials refuse to discuss the report. King Manuel, who came to the ah rone last month through the assassination of his father. King Carlos, and his brother, the Crow.i Prince Luiz, was Dorn on Nov. 13, 1889, therefore is not quite 11 years old. Prmccss Victoria was born on September 115, 1892j, and consequently lacks six months of being 10.

Regular services will begin with prayer meeting this evening. Sabbath school next Sunday at 10 a. m. .and preaching at 7:30 p. in. . A series of revival services will begin with the Sunday evening service. .All are invited. C. B. Whit taker, pastor.

CITY SCHOOLS

SAFE FROM FIRE BOTH OF PLYMOUTH'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE SECURE AGAINST A FIRE HORRORFIRE DRILL IS BEING USED. A horror such as recently occurred in the Collinwood fire when nearly two hundred little lives were snuffed out through the insufficiency of fire protection, could not occur in the schools of this city. The schools are absolutely safe, and no, parent need fear for his child while attending school. The conditions of the city schools here are almost the reverse oif what they were in the school where the recent catastrophe occurred, and every precaution is taken against fire. In both of the schools, the buildings are in every wise properly constructed. The smallest children are placed on the lower floor, nearest the exits, and the larger ones above. This insures the best results in case of fire, and it is exactly what was not dojie in the Collinwood school house where the little ocies were kept on the upper floors. The Washington school building has five exits, the doors in four of the main exits all opening outward. In the South Side building both main exits have the doors opening outward. All doors opening onto the street are ordered kept unfastened after the opening hour ror school and remain unfastened until schoo1 is over in order that should a tire panic start, nothing would obstruct the. rush of the children for liberty. Both buildings are kept absolutely clean, no rubbish or paper being allowed to accumulate. Throughout the buildings there are plenty of fire hydrants already connected to reels of fire hoise, and in case of fire, could be insantly put into use. A large fire bell has been installed, and at unexpected times is sounded. The pupils form into line and' march out, quickly and without disorder. ( In order that a rush, or panic may not result from, a sudden alarm, large boys one from each row of seats, in every room upon the sounding' of the alarm, take their stand at the head oi each aisle, ready to quell forcibly any rush or panic. Superintendent Randall and President of the Schot d Board, Dr. Borton assure every one that they have thoroughly inspected' the schools and guarantee ihem to be in first class condition, along this line. Orchard Now Pleads Guilty; Will Hear Fate March 18. Harry Orchard of Caldwell, Idaho, Tuesday was allowed to withdraw his former plea of not guilty and entered another plea of guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree in the death of former Gov. Steunenb:rg, as charged in the indictment. Judge Wood will sentence Orchard on March 18. Orchard pleaded guilty to having killed Steunenberg by the explosion of a dynamite bomb at his residence on Dec. 30, 1005. He confessed he was hired to kill Steunenberg by William D. Haywood, secretary; Charles H. Moyer. president; and George A. Pettibone, honurary member of the Western Federation of Miners. Haywood and Pettibone lxth were tried in Boise uul set free. The case against Moy er was dismissed. Doors Should Open Outward. Parents the country over will shudder and hold their little ones tighter as they read about the fate befalling the Cleveland children. The mind stands appalled in contemplation of the anguish caused by this disaster. The tragedy emphasizes anew the importance f the fire drills practiced in all properly conducted schools, but in this case an orderly descent of the stairways would not have saved all the children in the Cleveland school because the doors at one exit opened inward and the fleeing babies had not enough knowledge or presence of mind to fall back and let them be swung open. After Marblef Players. With a church notice in his hand and headed for a newspaper office a Warsaw minister encountered a crowd of boys between the ages' of 7 and 1. playing marbles. On making an investigation he found 54 "gamblers" as he called them. Then the minister looked for a policeman. Farmer Fat and Wealthy.
