FRENCH LICK IS A GAMBLING HELL

Further Evidence Against the Resort Found by Newspaper Representative. THE OFFICIALS DON'T KNOW AT LEAST THEY SHOW THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FACT THAT GAMBLING CONTINUES. French Uck. Ind., May 4. Further evidence of the continuance of gambling at this p'Jace is revealed by the visit of a newspaper representative, who procured a ticket of admittance to the casino. Again the officers of .the court, who are sworn to support !the constitution in the fulfillment of their duties haw? denied "positive" Icnowledge of any gambling. The sheriff wais sought out in his home at the crmnty jail. He stowed away his first cordiality when the purnose of the visit was explained. " have nothing; to add. he sani. He had said nothing, but the point was passed. "Do you know that gambling is going; on at French. Lick?" he was askrd. "No. Do you?"" he answered. "Yes." "I've got nothing to add." "Have you made an effort to learn jf there's gambling?" "I didn't know there ever was any Rambling there. I have nothing to add." Judge Buskrrk's Attitude. Judge Uuskirk was found at his home, a big while house, well braced against the side of a hill. The native who furnished directions said: "You can't miss it. It'.s as bin as the court house." Did the judge know there was gambling at Freaich Lick? No; only w hat he had-read. Well, he had heard it said, too. He never had seen any gambling there, though in fact, he had not been there since last fall. Had he made any effort to stop it? Now the conversation was getting down to cases. "Young man. I'm the judge of the court. I am not the executive officer of this county. Have you talked to the prosecuting attorney or the sheriff?" It was explained to him that the sheriff had nothing to add. "Well, you can not expect the judge of the court to go out and hunt for evidence. Will I instruct the grand 1urv? The grand jury does not meet until next September, and 1 shall certainly not tell in advance what I shall say to that body. I regard that as improper on the part of the judge of any court. By urging this or that in vestigation by the grand jury, you see. T place myself in a position where the defendant is justified in asking tria! by another judge. Prosecutor Says He Does Not Know. Arthur McLart, prosecuting attor ney, was found at the court house. "Do you know there is gambling at French Lick?" he was asked. :,I do not." '"Have you been told there is?" "I believe that is all I care to say at present." After a little wait to let the present pass, he was asked if he had any general information to the effect suggested. "Hearsay, you mean?" He looked surprised and immensely superior to such a thing as hearsay evidence. Then he admitted that he had had such evidence. "Have you made any effort to stop the gambling?" "Yes. there have been efforts." "What?' "I don't care to reveal." "Have you. personally, taken part in the efforts?" For a brief moment the nrosecutine Attorney threatened to become loquacious, indignantly so. Says He is Not a Detective. "I'm the prosecuting attorney of this county. I'm not the sheriff, or a policeman, or a detective. It's not my Vlace to break into people's houses to pet evidence. It's my business to try the State's cases when they present themselves." A Broken Down Wife at Thirty. Unless you, Mr trour wife to have Husband, want that, broken-down look -when she is thirty, you must interest yourself right now. Only one teason for it overwork lack of labor savers. One thing that will help Is Easy Task soap. She must have it. It will do more than its share.

WAS INVITED TO SPEAK. Washington, May 1. The National Anti-Saloon league will watch the progress of the Indiana campaign with interest. S. K. Nicholson, one of the leaders of the national organization, who represents it in matters before congress said: "I think Jim Watson will be elected governor, and I certainly hope so. He ought to be elected. He has always stood with us and voted with us iu our fights before congress and the state platform upon which ho is making the race for governor should appeal to every temperance man." Mr. Nicholson has been invited to deliver some speeches in Indiana this year in behalf of Mr. Watson but he states it will be impossible for him to do so. Vtiue of a Laugtt. The value of a good natured laugh may be rated low by some people, but many writers have attested its worth in no measured terms. It is not surprising that the merry Charles Lamb should have said. "A laugh is worth 100 groans in any market." but from the lips of the somber Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to hear. "No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether or lrreclaimahly bad." It was Douglas .Terrold who boldly stated that "what was talked of as I the golden chain of Jove was nothing ! but a succession of laughs, a ehro- j matic scale of merriment reaching from earth to Olympus." "I am persuaded." wrote Laurence Sterne, "that every time a man smiles, but much mor so when he laughs, it adds something to his fragment of life." Last of nil comes the verdict of Dr. Holmes, given with his own inimitable humor. "The riotous tumult of a laugh I take it, is the mob law of the features, and propriety the magistrate who reads the riot act" "Hold the Rudder True." If you have enemies, go straight on and don't mind them. If they get in your way. walk around them regard less of their spite. A man who has no enemies Is seldom good for anything, lie is made of that kind of material which is so easily worked that everyone has a hand in it. A sterling character is one who thinks for hims-elf and speaks what he thinks. He is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to biro as fresh air. They keep him alive and actire. A cele brated character who was surrounded by enemies used to remark, "They are sparks which if you do uot blow will go out of themselves." "Ure alow n prejudice." was the Iron Dike's motto Let this be your feeling while endeavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispute, you do but as they desire and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk. Ttvre will be a reaction if you perform your duty, and hundreds who were once alienated from you will flock to you and acknowledge their error. Selected. Sandwich Man Is Old. The walking advertisement known as a "sandwich man" is by no means a modern idea. In 1346 a procession of men dressed to represent straw covered wine bottles used to parade the streets of Florence. Italy, being hired by the wine merchants there.

JEFFERSON CLUB FOR OLD RICHMOND

Democrats to Cast Aside All Animosity and Work Together. MARSHALL FIRST SPEAKER. TO DRAW A WORD PICTURE OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS THIS YEAR AT COLISEUM, JUNE 2 BECK IS MAKING PLANS. Richmond is to have a Jefferson club formed of true Jeffersonian democrats. The first speaker to address the organization will be Thomas R. Marshall, of Columbia City. Democratic candidate for -governor. The formation of the club and speech of Mr. Marshall will be delivered at a mass meeting of men of the party at the coliseum, June ". County Chairman Beck is busy with I he details of the affair and spent yesterday writing letters to prominent men of the party in this county informing them of t.;e plans and prospects. It is the intention to make the address a public affair. It is expected other state candidates will be in attendance and nothing will be left undone thai could be of material aid to the project. The intention is to make the Jefferson club a permanent affair. All personal ill feeling and party factions are to be forgotten and the party unite for its own interest. The club will be permanent and not die at tin.' close of the campaign tabs fall. A CHINESE DROUGHT. Tragic Scenes That Come With r. Long Spell of Dry Weather. In many districts of China water becomes very scarce during the summer months. Some of the fearful results of the drought are described thus by the Rev. John MaeGowau: "The greai ! sun lazes down from an unclouded ; sky and drinks up the water that is clinging to the roots of the rice. 1 he Soil now cracks with the fervent hua and every blade of lice seems to ho farmer for the water that aiouu win enable it to live. He is now at Tiis wits' end to save his crop, for that perhaps is the ouly thin' now that liea between him and puvT.y and despair. A failure of a crop means very likely that he will have to sell his daughter or a son perhaps or even barter away his wife if he would keep the homestead from slipping from his grasp. Some of the most piteous scenes iu the many tragic ones that cast theii shadows over the home in the experience of the Chinese husbandmen can be witnessed during the summer months when there has been a shortage in the fall of rain. "The wells have become dry, and the little ponds have been drained of every drop of water they contained. The rice in the field has lost the dark green color that with its ricli sheen tells of health and vitality and is turning into a sickly yellow that means decay and death. Water must be got now and at any price, for two or three days more of this will see the grain blasted in the fields. They accordingly dig the ponds deeper to catch the tiniest rills that itmr tntft tioyl -mil -.1 a tYli wtivlz 111 it II.

"Often these most pathetic endeavors to save their crops end in tragedy and death. Men are making a supreme effort to avert, disaster from their homes, and in the mad endeavor to gain tl:3 water for themselves the wildest passions of the heart are aroused, ntnl neighbors will struggle with each other for the slowly trickling drops of water.

Chicago News. LONDON'S SAFETY VALVE. Trafalgar Square, Where Agitators "Blow Off Steam." There is perhaps no other great city where the measure of free speech which is accorded to agitators of all kinds is larger than it is in London. It is the practice there to give anybody and everybody a chance to spout away to his heart's content in certain well recognized places of rendezvous, such as the spacious Trafalgar square, and especially the far more spacious expanse of field or common in that por tion of Hrde park where the "re formers' tree" stands aud where there : is room not only for thousands and tens of thousands, but even hundreds of thousands. : Ordinarily in favorable weather on almost any fine afternoon or in the early part of the evening little meetings are going on there, each having a piece of ground allotted to it by the police, but on a Sunday, from early in the morning until well into the night these assemblages are very numerous and in full blast Twenty, thirty, forty, even more. I have seen in operation at the same time, the speakers, men and women, haranguing to groups or to : big crowds on very theme imaginable; religion, spiritualism, politics, the1 tariff, w oman's rights, astrology, pe- j nology. the faith cure, bad literature, i theosophy. socialism, anarchy, govern- j mental abuses, the abolitiou of the ' house of lords, home rule, local re-' forms and the vices of the aristocracy, j while the red Qag was as likely to le j as conspicuous as any other emblem ; on the poles that are stuck in the ! ground or on the folding platforms which are rolled iu on w heels.

RICHMOND IS HOME OF MISSIONARY BOARD

Chas. E. Tebbetts Has moved Here. ReThe following from The American Friend is of local interest: On a careful examination of the articles of incorporation of the A. P. B. F. M.. it ha i been discovered that Richmond, Ind.. must be tl'.e headquarters of the board until such time as it may be changed to Indianapolis, Indiana, by the Five Year's Meeting. In compliance with these articles. Claries K. Tebbetts has removed from Indianapolis to Richmond, and all mail for tile A. P. B. F. M. should be directed to t'.tat city in his care. It is the earnest desire of the board that all the Yearly Meetings may in some measure respond to the needs of the board at this particular time. It is a period of reorganization and readjustment for the larger work in our chinch and with a general secretary in the field, the exiienditures of the board are necessarily heavier. However, through the influence of the general secretary, larger results and larger funds a'e assured. POSTAL REFORM A TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION Members of House and Senate to Speak. Washington. May 1. Several of tinleading members of the senate and house will address the meeting Tuesday night in the interest of postal legislation being urged by the Postal Progress League and kindred organizations. The recommendations made by Postmaster (Seneral Meyer, including the establishment of a parcels post on rural routes and of a postal savings bank, will be indorsed by the meeting. CIRCUS IS IN TOWN Street Parade Today a Marvel Of Beauty, Gorgeous in Every Respect. SHOW BETTER THAN EVER. Gentry Brothers' famous shows arrived over the Pennsylvania from Indianapolis, and are located at Gilhert's lot. opposite the Main street entrance of Glen Miller park, where they will give their exhibitions this afternoon and evening. Mr. Gentry has thoroughly lived up to his advertisement, and this year presentes the largest and best show of his successful career, covering the past twenty years. Ueplete with everything that is new, novVl and up-to-date. The entertainment is all that could he wished, and abounds with clever acts, of every conceivable variety. ,'l'he European features of the show are the best ever seen here, and it is no exaggeration to , . i say. that they do credit to a show that has a reputation extending from the A (hint ir- to the Pacific. The street parade was a marvel of beauty and one of the most gorgeous spectacles ever seen in this vicinity. It is a glittering pageant of people and animals gathered from all parts of the world and was a good forerunner of an excellent show. Thought He Was Smart.

POOR UNCLE JOE IS MUCH WORRIED

Washington. 1). C. May t. With the deep and deadly rumble of a threatened revolution of his minions beginning to beat about his ears, and a band of bloodthirsty demons holding filibuster-orgies over the items of legislation. Speaker Cannon is putting in some busy das. He has a majorits on his hands which wants to assemble and hold a talkfest. and a minority which already .has assembled and which is prepared to filch the fruits of victory as fast as they are allowed to appear. With a currency bill to pass and an unruly commission on hanking anil currency to overcome hyfore it can be brought out, the speaker is finding it hard to keep a torrent of unwelcome subjects that the countrv bus oft seen repeated in executive in poured into the legislative arena. Representative Townsend has n pe i tit ion to w hich he feels confident he cin procure fifty signers among his republican colleagues and demand a i caucus on such subjects a.-, the bill to amend the Sherman ant i-t rust law and (the injunction restriction law Miimr it y Leader Williams has his li.'! demo ! crats signed up for a house conference ; (in the wood pulp duty and various other subjects, and asserts he can produce thirty republicans who will ' join in as soon as the speaker signi lies that Ihe maioritv of the house is a maioritv of its members and not a majority of one political faith. Cannon Fears a Caucus. Speaker Cannon denies the reports that lie had said he was in favor of the injunction bill and the anti-trust, amendment bill and would stir things up to cause them to issue forth from the judiciary commit tee. On the other hand, he says he is not in favor of them. He will try to prevent a caucus, however, for there are enough insurgent souls in the offing to attempt to carry out the president's legislative program. Th- Sunrise Oflilfp.
