Ross De Bruler Breaks Jail Again

THOMAS TAGGART, New Chairman of Democratic National Committee Welcomed Home. AH ORDINANCE TO BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL PLACING EXPRESS WAGONS ON MARKET SQUARE Express Men of the City Object and Give Reasons For So Doing. It is understood that an ordinance is being prepared for presentation to council requiring express men to let their horses stand in the south sixth street market place when not in use instead of on the street corners as is done at present. This does not seem satisfactory to the expressmen of the city. One expressman said to The Palladium this morning that such an ordinance would be a hardship not only on the express men but also would not work well with business men. The express men are scattered along about four of the streets and it is a very convenient arrangement for merchants and others. Often times it happens that some one has only about five or ten minutes to make a train. The expressman is on the corner and can be easily gotten, while if he was at the market house, the party would 'not have time to go there. If he did the train would be missed. Business men such as plumbers and lumber men, have "quick" calls every day for expressmen, and if they were not on Main street it would be very inconvenient to find them at the market house. The above are some of the objections to the ordinance, and many more were offered. The ordinance is the outcome of the movement of the Civic League to beautify the city. INDIANA TALENT A Former Wayne County Resident in Eastern College. Miss Carrie Colvin, a- well known j educator, one of the professors in the State University of Maine, with i the degree Ph.
