HOW SENATE WILL AMEND

IS SETTLED THAT ROADHOUSES MUST GO FROM TOMLINSON BILL Will Increase License Fee to $1000 One Saloon to 1000 Inhabitants. One thing has been definitely settled by the Republicans of the Senate and that is that the Tomlinson bill for the repeal of the county option ilaw- will not be permitted to pass the Senate until it has been amended to make the following provisions: A license fee of $1,000. Limiting number ol saloons to one for each 1,000 inhabitants. To eliminate roadhouses. An amendment' to the Tomlinson bill, which was tacked on in the House b an Evansville Republican member, and was in line with the desires of Steve Fleming, of Fort Wayne, was designed to permit saloons in 'the territory surrounding cities which is within police jurisdiction; in dthcr words in territory within four miles of the corporate limits of cities. The bill, as originally drawn provided for saloons only in cities and incorporated towns. The amendment was intended to permit roadhouses, which are admitted to be about the worst kind of saloons. This amendment will be removed by the Senate before the bill is permitted to pass. The brewers have not sufficient strength in the Senate to send the bill through with thi amendment still attached and the few Republicans who are expected to vote for the bill and make its passage possible will not vote for the bill unless the roadhouse amendment is detached. Concession or Failure Necessary. At least, it is said, all of the Republicans who would vote for ithe bill, with the exception of Durre, will not stand for the amendment and the vote of Durre with the twenty-one Democrats counted on to vote for the bill will not be sufficient to pass it. The plan of the Republicans now i to amend the bill so as to make the provisions nnentioned above. It will chen be passed according to program bctause in this form it will receive the support of enough Republicans to put it through. In its aimended form ihc bill will go to a conference committee, the members of which will be appoin-iel by the -Speaker of the House and the presiding ofikCr of the Serrate or by the Senate Jtself. .Whatever changes are made by the conference committee must be ratified by both houses The bill will never get to the Governor unless the House -agrees to the changes made by the Senate. Brewery Amendments Questioned. There is considerable doubt as to just what a court would make out of the brewery amendmcnts to the Tomlinson bill tacked on by tne two Republican Representatives from Evansville. These amendments were di-ected against the provision of the bill that would have prohibited -absolutely all saloons outside cities or incorporated towns. First an amendment by Hewig was adopted excepting "territory subject to the police jurisdiction of such city," and then one by Schreeder was added providing that licenses may re granted in territory outside cities, and towns when a majority; oi the voters petition to that effect. The first Impression of many was that these two amendments taken together woufld permit saloons outside a city and within its police jurisdiction only on petition. Laiter it was explained that they were much more liberal that no restriction was provided against granting licenses outside cifies within police jurisdiction and that licenses couM be granted in any country territory on petition of a majority of the voters "of such ter rrtory." lit is not clear what "terri tory" is meant township, mile square or city lot. Thinks They Tricked Themselves A lawyer who has studied the amended section of the bill is inclined to think that -the amenders tricked themselves, and that the courts would be likely to interpret both (the amend merits as applying only to territory within police limits of cities. In brackets he puts in the word the courts wou'd be likely; to supply. "Under the established rules for the interpretation of statutes," said he, ''the courts undoubtedly construe the first section to -read and mean: "That hereafter no license for the sale of spirituous, vinous, malt or other intoxicating liquors shall be granted to sell such liquors at any place located outside of the cor porate limits of a city or incorporated town except within the territory subect to the porice jurisdiction of such city over the sale of intoxicating liquors. granted in the manner now provided by law for the sale of int?x'icating liquors in any (such) territorv of a township outside of the corporate limits of cities and towns, or of any territory ortside of the corporate limits of a city (and subject to the police jurisdiction of a city) where the majority of the legal voters of such territory shall sign and file a petition wir'.i the Board of Commissioners asking that such licenses may be issued, which petition shall be effective for a period of two years from the date of filing.' "The only escape from this interpretation 'would be o hoJd the act to mean that the voters of any '.territory' of whatever size or shape such voters may choose, whether a whole township, a mile square, one acre or the size of a city lot, may make the sale of liquor legal within such 'territory', by filing a petition with the board of commissioners."

APOLLO OF THE SENATE.

Honor is a Unique One Will bo the Handsomest Man in Upper Body in Spite of Senator Owen. According to the recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post, SenatorElect Benjamin F. Shively will be known as the "Apc.Uo of the Senate"' when he takes iiis seatt 'March 4. The honor, no "doubt, will be a hap,y one to Fenn township's favorite son and according to &cal citizens who have known him for a lifetime say that the honor is rightly and deservedly placed. Two columns are devoted to an article under the caption of "An Indiana Apvllo." "Just at present te United States senate has-n't a single solitary Appollo to its name," says the article, in opening. "The state department, in a manner of speaking, has it all over the senate along those lines." "Reaching out to Indiana, the senate, determined to have rto such Wot on it escutcheon as the lack of an Apollo and fufly cognizant of the verity of the claim that among its ninetyone other members it has about every kind of a human male exhibit has tapped Benjamin Franklin Shively on the shoulder and has said, "O, you. Apollo, come and join our select co.ppany. We need you in our business." "And Benjamin Franklin Shively is coming comiTig, in the celebrated role of Apallo, which he has piayei with great success for many years. He is coming on the keen jtmip, com ing across the prostrated form of John Worth Kern, who is sobbing oftly through those famous whiskers the baddest of political words. 'Thej (Jiuble crossed me; that's what they did.' . "It takes but one look at Shively to ascertain that he is an Apollo, the Apollo of Indiana now to be the Apol!o of the senate, to go from retail to wholesale, Apolloing as soon a ie is sworn in to extend his scope, to wid den his horizon," to become the cynosure of all eyes -instead of such eyes as inhabit Souüh Bend, his former field of operation. THEATRE FIRE 300 PERISH VICTIMS LITERALLY ROASTED TO DEATH IN CATASTROPHE AT ACAPULCO. Members of Leading Families are Present and Americans May Have Died. Between 250 and 300 people were burned to death and many were injured in a fire which destroyed the Flores Theater in the city of Acapulco, Mexico Sunday night. The news of the disaster reached Mexico City Monday afternoon, telegraphic communication with Acapulco having been destroyed owing to the fact that t:.e telegraph office adjoining the theater was burned and all wires put out of commission. The Flores Theater was a wooden structure and .more than 1,000 persons had crowded into it to witness a special performanc given in honor of Governor Damian Flores of the state of Guerrero, who was visiting the post. One of the numbers of the program consisted of a series of moving pictures. While the operator was exhibiting these a film caught fire and a blaze was communicated to some bunting which had been used for decorative purposes; In a short time the -flames spread to all parts of the structure. There 'were but three narrow exits and the panic-stricken audience rushed to them, many failing to be crushed to death, their bodies choking the way to escape to others. Literally; Roasted Alive. The screams of those imprisoned were terrifying. Owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread it was impossible to attempt rescue work, and those imprisoned were literally roasted alive, as the tire burned with little smoke and few were suffocated. The efforts of the fire department were confined to attempting to save adjoining buildings, and they succeeded so that the property loss was smaH. The telegraph office, postoffice and custom house were damaged, but all of the government records and registered mail was saved. Pitiful scenes were enacted on the streets of the litule West coast port Monday. Men, women and children were wandering from place to place hunting for relatives or friends. "Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair at the theater being a special event of considerable importance anu calling out the wealth it st and oldest families for miles around. Entire Families Wiped Out. In some instances entire families were wiped out of existence. The municipal authorities caused Jarge trenches to be dug. anu into these the remains of the dead were laid. According to the telegrams received from there recognition of any of the dead has been an impossibility, owing to the fact that the bodies were burned in most oases to a crisp. Telegrams sent to the American consul at Acapulco asking for the names of the American dead have as yet not been replied to. Sensational Suit. A suit for the return of $40,000 alleged to ihave been misappropriated was filed in the Kosciusko circuit court against -Moses F. Lentz, trustee of Van iBuren township, the relators being John and Alice Brumbaugh. A similar action was brought some time ago on re'atrcn of John Bender by the state, but this suit was subsequently dismissed. It is alleged that Lentz awarded contracts without advertising for bids and that he purchased township supplies at his osvif store which is located in Milford .

R. hall Friday evening, was attended by a crowd which filled the hall to overflowing. Old soldiers from over the entire county came to Plymouth to be .present at the celebration, given by Miles Tibbitts post,

aided by the Women's Relief Corps. The program lasted from 8:00 o'clock until 10:00 and consisted of interesting numbers throughout. The program 'was opened by a song by the MePhodist choir. Rev. Pflug gave the invocation, after which the audience joined in singing "The tSar Spangled Banner." The ddress of the evening was delivered by Herbert E. Hess. In a well prepared paper, Mr. Hess reviewed the great work done by the Emancipator, what Ms mission on earth was, the effect it should have uport mankind of fhe present äge. The address was well received, and appreciated by all 'who attended the celebration. iMiss Ida Haines of the Women's Relief Corps recited the Gettysburg speech, and made comments thereon. ;As a prelude to that great masterpiece of the great man, Miss Haines traced the history of Lnicoln briefly, gave a history of the battle of Gettysburg, and told how the oration happened to be delivered and why Lincoln's speech has endured, while that . of the great orator Edward Everett, who also spoke on the battlefield of Gettysburg, has not been handed down in history, and preserved so zealously. AfUr the recital by Miss Haines the audience joined in the song "Ter.tipg tonight on the Old Cam? Ground," which rwas followed by Camp Fire talks, made by Judge W. B. Hess, .William. BaMey and others. The , audience sang "America," followed by the benediction by Rev. W. S. Howard. Mr. Hess' AdUress. The principal speaker of the evening wds Herbert E. Hess who spoke in part as follows: "The conditions of life in which Lincoln grew to manhood have well nigh ceased to exist in even the newer sections of the country. He was reared among scenes of absolute poverty with scanty allowance of educational advantages, a total stranger to the refinemcms of good society, a rude unkempt boyhood spent amid ignorant though reliant companions, a home in a rude cabin in the midst of a little clearing surrounded by the deep solitude of the primeval forest, a father who belonged to that class of southern men known as "poor whites," with nothing in his environment to sweeten a lot of hardship and call into play the dormant powers of a keen and powerful intellect. How wild at that time would have seemed a prediction that th'e day would come when the gaze of the whole world would be upon him and he -would become the evangel of liberty to more than four million human beings. When Lincoln became president in 18C0 there followed a period of sober and serious reflection. Men instinctively felt that troublous times were coming, when' wisdom, courage and prudence were to become necessary qualities in the nation's leader. Would these qualities be found to be the endowment of the western rail splitter? We knotw that Lincoln went down the Mississippi to New Orleans and while there visited a slave market. There he saw a negro'girl handled and examined bv men as though she were some blue-ribbon t3npe of full blooded pedigred live stock. He heard the sharp rapping of the hammer, heard the high voice of the auctioneer and saw her sold into a bondage of everlasting ruin and disgrace. This slave scene made his blood boi.1, and with h's, great strong fists' clenched he registered a solemn oath in his heart to henceforth dedicate his body and mind to the end that such scenes should no further be permitted to desecrate the pure sweet air of heaven; no such scenes further disgrace the 'free soil of the American nation. History records haw he kept that oath. He came into the presidency finding the nation "a house divided against itself", half free and half slave. Lincoln seemed to have had an almost Kn fallible judgment and when the time was ripe and opportune, with the Civil -war raging at its highest pitch, 'with the balance of the war scales just a -little in' favor of Northern armlies, he arrived at the firm conviction, that as a military measure the emancipation proclamation could be effectively used as a power to save the union, then thre shackles 'from four million souls were shattered forever; but had there not been an innate comprehe.is:r r. of God's meaning of equality and human liberty entwined in the very woof and fiber of -Northern character of

which Lincoln was the most perfect exemplar, had not this force been back of the divine hope to make this

a nation of free men, the freedom of the slaves could not have been ac complished at that time. A nation will ever rise to the height of the average intelligence, patriotism and sense of right and justice of -its citizenship. Lincoln was a perfect type of these attributes and when he stood forth as We champion of the union forever, and human freedom throughout the land, it is not surprising that brave and valiant armies responded spontaneously to his call, and fought till victory perched triumphant upon their Danners. Thus iwas one form of slavery abolished forever, but -what intelligent, reading American does not know of other forms of slavery slow.ly but surely earing at the vitals of American supremacy and the perpetuity of lits institutions. There is not possibly a great city in the entire United States today but what is cursed with twhat is known as the -white slave trade, and withi but few exceptions in facturing and mining communities there exists the curse of child labor slavery. Some critical, faint-hearted citizen may say, it is a long step from liberating four million slaves by a single proclamation with armies to back it up, to meeting so complex a question as white girl slavery and chlild labor slavery. Let our town boards, our country officials, our city alderman, our mayors, our legislators, our governors, our congressman, our President and the people twho make them the governing power, be as intimate and deeply imbued with the character of Lincoln as was Lincoln wiit'.v the character of the divine Christ, let them be men whose very souls are as thoroughly permeated with the principles of the Sermon on the Mount, of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Unlion as was Lincoln; let them be men whose inner lives are fired with God's truths of right and righteousness as was the inner life of the immortal Lincoln and these questions will be solved quicMy and peaceably. Lincoln lived long enough to see the stars and stripes again planted over Fort Sumter. This was on April 14th, 1SG5. He lived to experience lie glorious consciousness! that the great struggle w'as nearing the end with the union saved and .the battle for human freedom won. His second inaugural address on March 4th, 1S64 was also his farewell address. The closing word of this memorable address which to my mind is as immortal as Ihis Gettysburg oration, came as a benediction and a solemn valedictory. I quote them as follows: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the iwar we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have iborne the battle and for his -widow and his orphans, to"do a'l which -may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and -with all nations." "May this last message sink deep into the hearts of the American people today. May we strive lo finish our work in life's battle with malice toward none with charity for all, -with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all 'within our power which may achieve and cherish a just and "lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Ii the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the rater we drink.

Eat What Yoii want of the food you Kodol will; digest it

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it. Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it Is weak. You must eat In order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a sufficient amount of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol digest the food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving It rest, and Kodol will do that.

It may be a Stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to th.is vital truth.
