Marion. Ind., Fob. 17. With the Grant county republican primary election only one day in the future, candidates and the public generally are looking back upon what has been one of the most remarkable campaigns over held In the county. It. has been cigarless, moneyless and election day, Tuesday will be carriage-less as far as possible. This reform generally id accredited to a movement started about a year ago by George B. Iiockwood, who used !ils Marion, newspaper to oppose; tho old method of passing out presents to "the boys" by candidates. lie thought, there was no reason why tho candidate for office should be a "good fellow" in t lie sense of throwing away money from the time lie made his announcement until he won or lost at the polls. Plan Has Opposition. When the idea or doing away with the proverbial campaign cigar first was suggested many there were who doubted the practicability of the plan. It had been a fixed institution in politics for such a long time, and had been generally regarded as so necessary to a successful campaign, that some politicians couldn't conceive of pre-election skirmishes without it. But gradually, as the doctrine was preached louder and louder, it grew In favor, and by the time tho present campaign began to take definite form all the candidates were of one mind upon the question they wens determined to do nothing the least bit improper to corral votes. It is amusing now to see the predicament of the men who in the past have been accustomed to "taking a drink" at the expense of every candidate they could approach and of smoking campaign cigars for several weeks without cost to themselves. In this campaign it has been altogether changed, and the candidate and the man "with his hand out" have not been on speaking terms.

MAYOR DEPENDS SELF Logansport Chief Executive Vetoes Ordinance Providing for Impeachment. HE GIVES HIS REASONS. Logansport, Ind., Feb. 17 Mayor McKee has filed with City Clerk Haruxnontree his veto of three ordinances passed by Cuncilmen McXarv. TTet.herington, Grover and Johnson at the Meeting held by the four, Feb. 5, the ordinances being those with regard to the trial for his impeachment, which is set for tonight. The vetoes affect the ordinance to employ Walters and Long as attorneys, the resolution to empower the accusing councilmcn to try the man they accuse, and the ordinance fixing the date of the trial. In polite but vigorous language the mayor sets forth his reasons. "It is certainly as fair for me to veto," he says, "as for a member of the Council to prefer charges against me and then act upon his own charges as prosecutor, witness, judge and jury going through the farce of passing upon what he has decided against me at the time of the filing the charges before a hearing was had." Wants Fair Trial. The mayor cites a number of things which, he says, invalidate, but adds: "The law provides ample remedy for all fair-minded men who do not want to constitute the entire court machinery. I say here that I court and will make no objection to the procedure where I can have a fair and Impartial trial." Tha lolandr' Language. How strange it would seem to us today if there existed, say in Newfoundland, a colony of Anglo-Saxons, sent there by King Alfred and speaking still the pure old S.ixou tongue of Kins Alfred's WcsscxI Vet this would exactly parallel tho case of Icelaud. "While Danes and Swedes have modernized the ancient Scandinavian of the sagas into the Danish and Swedish of the present day the Icelanders still go on speaking the tongue of their forefathers pretty much as it was ppoken by Rolf the Ganger and Harold Har&rada. They read the sagas in the tongue of the old singers as easily as our children can rad Shakespeare and the English Bible. A New York woman went to a hospital to seek relief from the morphine habit. As soon as she was cured she ended ber life by taking strychnine.

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. London, Eng., Feb. 17 The one burning desire of the Duchess of Marlborough since she parted with her titled English husband several months ago, has been to be with her two joung sons whom she has seen but few times since she and her husband agreed to disagree. The young lads have played an important part in changing the mother's feelings toward their erring father and are largely responsible for the American woman laying aside those grudges which she has held against her husband and offering to return to him and the children. The announcement of tho reconciliation creates no surprise in London, particularly among those who know the circumstances surrounding the separation of the Duke and the Duchess.

ANOTHER MESSAGE

FROM PRESIDENT Asserted That He Will Send One That Will Influence National Convention. IS NOW BEING PREPARED. WILL BE SENT TO CONGRESS, ALTHOUGH THE DOCUMENT WILL BE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY, IT IS SAID. Washington, Feb. 17. That the president will send to congress from time to time special messages for the purpose of confounding the opponents of Secretary Taft is an interesting report that comes from sources very close to the white house. The president inaugurated what is destined to be known in political annals as the "special political message" when he sent his recent stirring pronouncement to the law-making branch. While the employers' liability bill was the handle on which this message was hung, it was really a political docu ment, designed to sway sentiment to Secretary Taft. and that it did "'stir up the animals" at a tremendous rate everybody Is willing to concede. The tip that Is going around emenating from friends of the president is that the "animals"'' will get more stirring before the Chicago convention nominates a ticket. The president's constitutional privilege permitting him to send messages to oongress will be the poker which he will use to prod tho political menagerie. It is said that these messages, while directed to congress, will be intended for the country at large and that they probably will have an important political bearing on the various stages of development of the presidential preconvention campaign. The talk Is that a special message is being incubated now that will be a ringing call for fairness and regularity in the selection of delegates to the national convention.

A House Divided Against Itself

Civil War in the Stomach Spells Ruin. Victory Belongs to You, If You Will. Costs Nothing to Try. The greatest foo to the progress of nations has been internal strife, civil war. Equally so is the greatest enemy of health in the human system civil war between the "different parts of the body. This is just what occurs in dyspepsia. War is declared between the stomach and the rest of the members of the body illness results, inability to digest or assimilate food, heaviness, disinclination to work, and in a word, all the attendant evils of imperfect digestion. What you need is an ally. An ally who will not only help, but will absolutely insure you the victory. In other words, let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets fight your battles for you, and by doing the work of your stomach, give it a complete rest, and allow it to re-enter the lists reinforced, refreshed, and rejuvenated. A single one of these marvelous tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food. Leading physicians all over the world have endorsed Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and have certified them free from harmful drugs. Simple to take. Harmless, efficacious. No doctors' bills.

The weight of air ha often been tested by compressing it iu receptacles by the air pump. That it really has weight when so compressed is shown by the fact that the weight of the vessels is increased slightly by filling them with compressed air and that such vessels become specifically "lighter" as soon as the air contained In them Is exhausted. Many elaborate experiments on the weight of air have proved that one cubic foot weighs 53G grains, or something less than one and a quarter ounces. The above experiment on the. weight of air is supposed to be made at the surface of the earth with the temperature at 50 degrees F. Heated air, or air at high elevations, Is much lighter.

Several Wayne County Men Are in Indianapolis Today To Attend Banquet. IT WILL BE A BIG EVENT. DEMOCRATS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE STATE W!lL HEAR WILLIAM J. BRYAN CANDIDATES WILL BE THERE. Today the Rev. T. H. Kuhn, guberna torial aspirant, Ed W. Dye and a num ber of Wayne county democrats went to Indianapolis to attend a reception to be tendered to William Jennings Bryan by the democracy of this state. The reception will be held at the Grand hotel. Democrats of this county are enthusiastic followers of the "Peerless Leader." An Indianapolis dispatch says of the Bryan meeting: William Jennings Bryan will receive the democracy of Indianaoolis and the state at the Grand hotel this afternoon from 5:30 to 6 o'clock. The affair will be wholly informal, and Is arranged to permit all democrats who desire to meet Mr. Bryan to do so. Dr-icrats are coming from all over the state to shake hands with the commoner. Mr. Bryan will go from the Grand hotel to Masonic hall, where the public will be admitted without tickets. The Masonic hall meeting will take place at 7 o'clock. At the close of the address Mr. Bryan will enjoy a brief rest in the parlors of the Claypool hotel before attending the banquet in his honor in the main dining room of tho Claypool. The doors of the banquet hall will be opened promptly at 9 o'clock, and admission will be limited strictly to those who present tickets.. John Hollett, president of the Indiana club, will introduce John W. Kern as toastmaster, and Mr. Kern will present Mr. Bryan. Plans for Banquet. In the banquet room the table at which Mr. Bryan and other prominent democrats will be seated will be laid across the north end of the room. At the table with Mr. Bryan will be rh-j reception commirtee from ttif. Indiana club. Near Mr. Bryan will be Thomas Taggart. i hairman of the democratic national committee; U. S.

ARE ON STILL HUNT FORSTATE SUPPORT Democratic Candidates for Governor Are Now Scouring the State. FEAR SNAP JUDGMENT. THOS OPPOSED TO ORGANIZATION FEAR THAT COUNTIES OPPOSED TO MACHINE WILL NOT ACT WISELY. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 17. The race for the democratic nomination for governor has developed into a still hunt for support. No delegates have been elected, but arrangements are being made in every county to name them. Under the call issued by Chairman Jackson the local machines everywhere will be in position to practically control the selection of delegates. The call does not provide that any notice shall be given of the date for the election of delegates. The local committees may call a primary or mass convention on one day's notice, if necessary, to carry out their program. The Republican call provided that two weeks' notice shall be given by publication in local newspapers where delegates are to be named. Among the democrats who are opposed to the present organization there is considerable uneasiness lest snap judgment shall be taken on them in counties where they any tho sentiment is decidedly against machine control. While the machine men have been cureful in covering their tracks no one doubts for a minute but that they have a definite program that will develop within a very short time. With only six weeks to make the race, none of the candidates can visit j many counties. Under the circumstances the men who control the local ; organizations may manipulate the pri- : maries and mass conventions to suit their own purposes. So far it seems that there is no undercurrent in favor of any of the candidates for governor that will be strong enough to nominate them without the, support of the men who control the machine. i The anti-Taggart forces are not showing any signs of life. aHhom it has been the supposition that they would rally to the support of some candidate for governor. Reports received here indicate that all of the candidates are working bard, and that they are trying to get Into as many ' counties as possible. Their relative positions seem about the same as they : v ere 10 days ago. when the date for ' the convention was fixed. A .tsiarsi liiif rfno.

THE ISLAND OF FIRE.

Jiti'i Wonderful I-akr of Boll Ian Mad and Sllmr. The greatest natural wonder in Java, if not iu the entire world, is the justly celebrated Gheko Kamdka Gnmko. or' Home of the Hot Devils, known to the world as the Island of Fire. This geological singularity Is really a lake of boiling mud situated at about the center of the plains of Grobogana and Is called an Island because the great emerald sea of vegetation which surrounds It gives it that appearance. The island Is about two miles In circumference and is situated at a distance of almost exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the center of tkis geological freak Immense columns of soft hot mud may be ween continually rising and falling like great timbers thrust through the boiling substratum by giant hands and then again quickly withdrawn. Besides the phenomenon of boiling mud columns there are scores of gigantic bubbles of hot slime that fill up like huge balloons and keep up a series of constant explosions, the Intensity of the detonations varying with the size of the bubble. In times past, so the Javanese authorities say, there was a tall, spirelike column of baked mud on the west side of the lake which constantly belched a pure stream of cold water, but this baa long been obliterated, and everything Is now a seething mass of bubbling mud and slime, a marvel to the visitors who come from frrent ,:etrpee to see it The Huurice Of Uft.
