SOLID DEMOCRATIC AND WET REPUBLICAN VOTE ELECTS ADAM E. WISE

Receives Heavy Majority of 604 An Increase of 508 Votes Over Sarber s Majority Last Fall.

By a solid Democratic vote, aided by "wet" Republican vote, Adam E. Wise, the Democratic candidate for Representative for Marshall county, to fill the unexpired term of the lae William L. Sarber, was elected at the special election Thursday, with a majority of 604 votes. A little over a two-khirds vote was ipolled. Weither conditions -were not most favorable, but the poor vote was the result of a general lisinterestedness, more notlctalble on the part of the Republicans. Every township gave the Dem-.-cratic candidate increased majorities over the fall election. At the fall election, the majority of Wm. Sarber over Dr. Brown, was only 96. The normal Democratic majority in the county is "between 400 and 500. The oor showing in Thursday's election, can only "be attributed to the liquor question. Would Not Vote. M:my temperance Republicans refitk absolutely to vote, and leading Lor.il Option promoters who have haJ charge of circulating Local Option (petitions in the county, either avowed! voted for the Democratic candidate, or refused to vote at all. The Republican Central committee made almost no effort to reach its supporters, and many Republican votis were not cast through the fact rhat they were absolutely unaware that an ejection was being held. Such a class of armors are those who take no newspaper ami so obtain the genMAY PAROLE JESSE HAYS CASE OF PLYMOUTH BOY WILL BE CONSIDERED THIS MONTH. Was Convicted of Grand Larceny by Judge Bernetha on February 26, 1908. It is probable that Jesse Hays, t'ae 20-year-old youth who was sentenced to a term of 1 to 14'Vears ltl tnC JeffersonviJle Reformatory, by Judge Bernetha last winter, -for grand larceny, will be paroled at the next meeting of the Trustees of the Institution, this month. Harry Bernetha, Judge of the Marsh.aH Circuit Court, is in receipt of the following com-munic-ation from the superintendent of the Jeffersonville Prison, as fcl lows: Hon. Harrj Bernetha, Dear Sir: The Board of Trustees of the Indiana Reformatory will at thesr next meeting consider the parole of Jesse Hays, Number 5933, an inmate of the Institution. He was convicted of Grand Larceny in the Marsha.ll Circuit Court ort Feb. 26, 1903. As the Trial Judge in the case, you will probably have some information about the above named man that would be of assistance to the Board of Trustees when they consider his parole. Do you know whether he was ever -in prison or arrested before? I shall be very glad to lay before the Board an particulars you may forward to me. Thanking you in advance for this favor, Yours Respectfully, W. H. Whittaker, Gen. Supt. Hays, was only twenty years cf age at the time of his conviction, and had never been in prison before. It ir.s probable that Judge Bernetha will make a favorabJe recommendation in reference to Hays. Storm Does Damage. The rain and subsequent freeze of Saturday night, dadi much damage throughout this vicinity. The greatest damage was done to trees, telephone and eJegraph wires. Sunday morning there were only two open wires on the telegraph service, that could be worked east of Ft. Wayne. The others had broken under the weight of ice. Telephone wires in the city were broken by fhe score. Much damage has been don.i to trees, especially fruit trees, which have been broken down under the heavy load that rests upon them. The weather forecast indicates continued coll weather for a few days, with sno'v flurries Get Election Supplies.

era-1 news of the count .through their neighbors, when they call upon them. Wet Republicans Are Open. The wet Republicans of the city of Plymouth especially! were open in their declarations to vote for the Democratic candidate and "against a restriction of their liberties." The high Democratic vote Thursday, 'for a candidate who was pledged to vote for a repeal of the County Option law, against one who was pledged to support the Option law, has giver the saloonkeepers of Plymouth high hopes of carrying the Local Option election, if one is held in this county, on March 4th. The indications are that the wets of .Marshall county will poll a much higher vote than iwas expected Iby the temperance forces. The utter fiele of support from the temperance ifonces, to the Local Option candidate4 has somewhat dampened ti e enthusiasm of those who expected a dny county in the near future. Lost Many Temperance Votes. The outcome of the election Thursday, has lost many temperance votes, if a local option election is held here according to schedule. Six temperance Republicans stated in the Tribune office Thur's'da morning, that Ji an option election is held here, they v.vill vote wet, for that is evidently the desire of the temperance advocates after all. Verily, Thursday's victory, was first blood for- the wets in Marshall count". The Official Vote. The following is the official vote cast for Representative of Marshall county, at the specal election Thursday. Adam E. Wise was the Democratic candidate, and Dr. Chas. A.

Speaking of the centennial of Lincoln's birth, Daniel McDonald said in the Tribune office Thursday tha'i at the time the war di the Rebellion broke out, he was telegraph operator on the then Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad at Plymouth station, being the first operator here after the completion of rhe road. TheTe was but a single line at that time, and the telegraph instruments were what were known as paper machines, that is. long strips of paper were run over a cylinder upon wbich the telegraph pen fever left indentations, whkrh, when the message was concluded, was read antl translated into plain English by (he operator. The breaking out of the A-ar gave .a great impetus to the use of the telegraph, and as there were no Night operators, t'he Da operators vere frequently drafted into night service when extra trains wtre run over the .road. "Mr. McDonald recollects distinctly being kept up most cf one night to assist in running by telegraph, orders the first train of soldiefram Chicago that were transported East at the beginning of the War. He had plenty i f company, hmvevcr, as most of the people of the village at that time were awake with Intense excitement, to witness the passage through town of the first train load of soldiers to take part in one oi the greatest wars of modern times. A P. H. S. Incident. ' An interesting affair occurred at the Washington school building, Tuesday morning, the effect of which was to- cause a general loss of breath among the interested parties. The excitement was caused by a performance on the steps leading to t'he High school room, and the participants were a Jmvor girl, fair of face, and Tight of step and an Eighth Grade young man. Both parties are exceedingly popular, and theJr tete-a-tete on the school steps, aft once attraced the attention of all students in High School arrd grades, who happened to be located near a window. It seemed to be a case of love at first sight, judging by the earnestness of their conversation. The stone steps, with their pleasant memories, seemed to lend their ch"arm to the situation, and present a dramatic setting to the trysing place. News of the proceedings had soon spread about the building, and unknown to the interested p-air, noses were being flattened against every pane otf glass on the east side of the school. Friends of the couple are awaiting the outcome. When Reevie was asked if he was in Jove, he said "O, Mercie no." One of the witnesses. Takes Prisoner to Pen. Marshall Jacoby left for Michigan City Wednesday nforningin charge of Wm. Powell, who was sentenced to the Michigan City prison for a term of 2 to 14 years after pleading guilty to forgery. Powell is 34 years of age.

WARSAW DENIES FAKE REPORTS

STORIES AFLOAT IN THIS CITY REFLECTS ON GOOD CITIZENSHIP OF WARSAW. Liquor Element Endeavoring to Influence Public Opinion as Local Option Election Approaches. (Warsaw Times.) Marsh'all county is soon to exercise its privilege under the comity option law as to whether saloons are w'anted over there or not, and the indications are that the result will be in favor of abolishing the sa.kons, although the liquor element is making a vigorous fight and h'ave injected into theircampaign a number of untruthful reports. One otf these is to the effect that Warsaw, whose last saloon went out of existence l'as July, is compelled to shut down the city high school be cause of the loss of money from the licensing of saloons. Everybdy knows that there is no truth whatever in such a report. Another report is to effect that Warsaw merchants are 'feeling acutely the loss of sa.loonä whidh "draws tra'de to a town." This is untrue, and five minutes canvass of the business district will -convince the most liberal saloon advocate th'at Warsaw merchants take no such view of conditions. The majority df fhe (business men -will tell you that men who formerly spent their earnings in saloons are now providing more lüberally 'for their families and paying their bills as they go instead of "beating" the storekeeper. Fact of it is thre can be no good or moral Teason advanced in favor of the galloon or for the sale of liquor, and every sensible citizen knows it. Such false reports, are very nearly on a par with the tactics of the brewery element 1:1 Richmond who, after securing men Ifor the purpose, dressed them tin rags and sent then begging from house to house in Richmond and at each home the supposed "beggar" would 'stop long enough to tell the entire household that all the factories in the "dry" towns where they came 'from were shut down and the people were out of work. Such was the "dodge" worked at Richmond. People at Plymouth who are inclined to misrepresent conditions r Warsaw, should understand that the famiEes of men who formerly got rid of their earnings in the grog shops of this city, are now receiving more of life's benefits than they did when the saloons were in operation and many of these men are glad they have been wLped out. That result thus 'ar should be sufficient. Society Entertained Wednesday evening at St. Joseph hall, the "Lady of Louxdes Band oi the Children of Mary" society, entertained the "Immaculate Concep tion" band, of the same society, with a 'hard time party. After all had assembled, a grand march, led by the Misses Norma Campbell and Florence RicHard, was executed to miusic delivered by M'iss Francis Hanes. Immediately after the march the entertained were lied into an adjoining room, where they were asked to sit down to a hard time feast. This consisted o'f cornlbread, beansotrp, and hot water. After indulging in this to theTr contentment, they were mfardhed into the large hull, where games of many varieties wtre played until 10 o'clock, when the assembled ladies were served to a second course much more palpable than the first. A prize was given to Miss Norma Campbell for weaning the most ragged costume. Those present were the Misses Kate Sullivan, Mary Sullivan, Francis Hanes, Florence Cummins, .Mary Cummins, Norma Campbell, Lillie Campbell, Mary Bollinger, Florence Ricviard, Tillie Ball, Louie Sapp, Georgle Sapp, Alargaret Holzbauer, Rose Ilo'lzbatier Stella Ness, Mamie Durbin, Lizzie Schooner, Rosa McHugh, Josie Nagle, Hihda Nagle, Lizzie Blulbatigh, Anna Wickey, Edna "Wilcox, Beatrice Ryan, Celia Nagle.
