To Illustrate the size of bottle he meant when he spoke of a four ounce bottle, Arthur H. Jones on trial In the Wayne circuit court for violating the liquor laws, this morning drew from his light hip pocket a bottle containing an amber colored liquid. Its appearance was that of whisky. Sur rounding Jones as he occupied the stand were piled crates of empty whisky flasks, empty, filled and partly filled quart whisky bottles, six doz en bottles of beer, a number of empty beer bottles, a keg containing wine, half a dozen jugs containing wine and whisky and a gallon jar, which Jones says now contains less than half the whisky and glycerine it did when con fiscated by the police. The display that resembles the stock of a small saloon is an exhibit in the case.

nation and a part of the cross examination occupied the time of the entire ' morning. Jones surprised the jurjr, judge, attorneys and spectators when he declared he had been given a quart bottle of York Hill whisky previous to June 30, 1906. The label on the bottle stated the contents were guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act of that date. A puzzle arose as to how Jones secured liquor that was sent out by the distillery bearing such a label in advance of, the date of the passage of the law under which the whisky was sold. . f The witness' said he had sold whisky on prescription and that he is not a pharmacist and entitled to issue prescriptions. He admitted that two years aso he was in the habit of selling liquor. He admitted that two years ago he was fined twice in the Wayne circuit court for selling beer to a minor, Bert White. In his direct examination Jones explained the presence of several crates of whisky bottles in his rwareroom," when the place was raided by saying he intended to use them in his trade. He accounted for the large bottles by saying he kept them for the conven
ience of customers, that often theyj came after coal oil or something and had not brought their cans, so he put the oil in a bottle. He said he bought seven Mount Vernon rye bottles. He . said he did not know how they were brought to his store, but supposed j they were brought in a sack or basket. He said he did not know where he got a box into which these bottles fitted; the same as the labels on the bottles. Jones explained the possession of the beer by saying he had bought two dozen for his brother-in-law, a Mr. Gibbs and the other four dozen for himself. He said his wife's health; had been poor and she was usin: the beer as a stimulant. He said he wanted some of the beverage for his own use. also. It was the intention of the attorneys to complete the case this afternoon, if possible, so the Jury would not have to worry with its verdict over Sunday. Conviction of the defendant upon the charge carries with It a fine and jail sentence. PENNSY EXPECTED TO COMPLY WITH COURT S RULING (Continued From fc"age One.) torneys say that this railroad company evidently had good reason for submitting to the decision of the Minnesota supreme court because, had there been the slighst chance of the United States supreme court reversing the decision, the case would have undoubtedly been appealed to that body. It is unnecessary to state that the local shippers are rejoicing today not only on account of the supreme court's decision, but because of the action of the board of public works in effecting a compromise with the Dayton & Western traction company, which means that traction freight , service between this city and points to the east will be restored. The supreme court's ruling followed on the heels of the compromise in the traction squabble, and as a result, the local manufacturers and jobbers have been stunned with joy. For two years traction freight service to the east has been at a standstill, while there has never been an interchange of freight between the Panhandle and the C. C. & L. "Today," remarked a manufacturer, whose plant is located on the Panhandle, "if I have two car loads of goods to be shipped on the C, C. & L., I have to haul it from my plant to the C, C. & L. freight station. When the connecting line between the Panhandle and the C. C. & L. is built. I can load all my freight for shipment on the C, C. & L., on cars standing on our private switch." Every other shipper in the city is similarly effected by the supreme court's ruling. The Commercial club is greatly responsible for securing Interchange of freight and the restoration of freight service on the Dayton & Western. This club secured the order from the railroad commission for freight interchange and, it is learned, the club also Influenced President Schoepf of the Ohio Electric Hallway company to visit this city for the purpose of reaching a compromise with the board of public works in regards to the Dayton & Western matter. MISS AMY JOHNSON OIESJHHE EAST Is Survived by Relatives in This City.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION MANIFEST
Committees Counseled Both For and Against Option Election. FOES OF SALOON FIRM. SENTIMENT OF VOTERS OF COUNTY IS BEING ASCERTAIN EDQUESTION OF REPEAL OF LAW IS BOTHERSOME. As quickly and effectively as possible, those men who have allied themselves for the fight in behalf of a county local option law election in this county, are ascertaining the sentiment of the voters. ' They are meeting with encouragement in some sections and promise of absolute favor in others. Many voters who have been consulted, suggest a delay in the election. The committee does not believe in a delay of any kind and favors putting Wayne county on the list as an example of a county that has gone dry despite the opposition. There . is a diversity of opinion among the nromiters of the election proposition as to the probable action of the next legislature. By some it is believed the law will be sure to be repealed. -Others assert there is a chance that it may not be. There are still others who say the law will not be allowed to stand as it is, but will be altered In several particulars. Because of the prospects that the law will not be allowed to remain as It is now, some temperance advocates believe the election in this county ought to be held as soon as possible and all chances of action by the legislature be taken at this time. It has been suggested that action by the committee might be postponed advantageously. If an election be called and fail, another election can not be called for two years. The legislature might not alter the provisions of the law seriously at the coming session, but their first failure would prevent the partisans of the election proposition from taking other action for the period stated. Among the business men, who have been appealed to for their sentiment in the ma.er, the committee has been counseled both for and against immediate action and this division of sentiment seems to exist among professional men .also.

Villagers Dared Not Pursue Robbers Who Secured $1,000 by Blowing Safe in Early Morning
Tiffin, O., Nov. 21. A succession of three loud explosions awakened the populace of the usually quiet little village of Attica. 16 miles east of Tiffin and it was soon learned that the safe in the general store of John M. Silcox had been cracked. Three supposed yeggmen did the job, and they escaped in the direction of Chicago Junction with booty amounting to $6,000 in negotiable notes and $285 in cash. Fifty dollars of this amount was the property of the Unitarian church and had been

The annual Thanksgiving vacation will be observed by the students of the public schools next Thursday and Friday. The two days' vacation at this season of the year always proves very popular. THE PRISON Binb. Tyrannical and Jealous Feathered Beauty of Africa. The peculiarity of the prison bird, a feathered beauty of Africa, is that he Is the most tyrannical and jealous of husbands, imprisoning his mate throughout her nesting time. Living- i etone watched the bird's habits while in Monpour, and in bis subsequent observations referred to the nest as a prison and the female bird as a slave. J The nest is built in the hollow of a i tree through an opening in the bark. As soon as it is completed the mother bird enters carefully and fearfully and settles down in it. Then papa walls up the opening, leaving only just space enough for air and food to pass through. He keeps faithful guard and brings food at regular intervals without fall. The female thrives under her enforced retirement. But if the prison bird is killed or in any other way prevented from fulfilling bis duties the mother and, ber little ones must die of j starvation, for she cannot free herself from bondage. Normally the Imprisonment lasts until the chicks are old enough to fly. Then the male bird destroys the barrier with his beak and liberates his family. "It is charming," writes Livingstone, "to see the Joy with which the little prisoners greet the light and the unknown world." THE NORMAN "OYEZ." A Legacy of William the Conqueror to the Court. Everybody who has ever been in a United States courtroom knows that when the judge walks out of his chambers and ascends the bench the court crier drones out: "Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court of the (whatever district it may be) Is now in session." Not many persons, however, realize that the crier says "oyez, oyez, oyez," instead of "harken, harken, barken," because of a chance visit that William the Conqueror made to an English court almost 000 years ago. William had overrun England, seized the government and placed himself at Its head. Happening to enter a courtroom, he heard the crier call the assemblage to order in English. William rebuked him and on the spot decreed that the business of all English courts should be transacted In Norman French, his native tongue. Afterward the courts went back to English, but to this day "oyez, oyez, oyez," clings to court customs ' wherever the English language is spoken as a reminder f the great Norman who whipped King Harold in the battle of Hastings. Scrap Book. One of Life's Tragedies. He had expected a tender embrace from his sweetheart, but her greeting of him was cold. He could not understand it. "Darling," he exclaimed In agony, "what Is the matter?" But she remained silent, her lips tightly closed, and motioned him from her. He fell upon his knees. "My love," he cried, "tell me what I have done to offend you? I swear I have done nothing wrong I I confess I kissed the Simpson girl last night at the party, but on my oath I I thought she was you." Her lips closed even tighter, but she uttered not a syllable, and, In despair at her unbending demeanor, he fled from the place, he knew not whither. Would yon know, oh, reader, the reason of the conduct by which a woman blighted two young lives? 'Twas simply this: She had left her false teeth In the bathroom. Probably She Meant It. s Lucile. a carefully brought up little girl of five years, returned from her first party in great glee. "I was a good girl, mamma," she announced and talked nice all the time." "Did you remember to say some thing pleasant to Mrs. Townsend just before leaving?" her mother asked. "Oh, yes, I did," was the enthusiastic reply. "I smiled and said: 'I enjoyed myself, Mrs. Townsend. I had a lot better dinner than I thought I'd have. "Delineator. One on the Judge. "Heie you are," said the Judge to the colored prisoner, "complaining that you can't get along with one wife, and yet Solomon had hundreds of 'em."

Keeping their guns leveled on the thoroughly frightened villagers who had gathered near, the three collected their booty and calmly walked to a rig which they Bad stolen from the barn of Irvin Holtx. They then drove rapidly away, but the excited villagers did not offer pursuit. The rig was later recovered, but no trace of. LKe men has beta found. ;
TAFT MAY USE "GIG STICK" ON SPEAKER CANNON (Continued From Page One.)
ly concerned have exchanged pourparlers tending to establish a clear and distinct agreement as to the character and degree of revision. While it is possible Messrs. Taft and Cannon will meet to go over the matter themselves, it is more than likely that there will be further informal exchanges between them through other agencies. Of course, .should they fail to reach anything approaching a harmonious understanding the new administration, as previously stated, expects to lay plans to prevent the re-election of Speaker Cannon. Whether or not this result can be accomplished is for others to say. But the fact is that the speaker and his lieutenants have been preparing for just such an eventuality, and have a fair proportion of the membership of the house already committed to "Uncle Joe's" support. It is impossible for me to say now, however, what this percentage is. For many reasons the presidentelect would prefer not to enter into such an uncommon struggle, inasmuch as, win or lose, his administration would start off with serious friction with congress, for it is very probable that the influence of many senators would be thrown to Speaker Cannon in the event of such a test of strength between the present powers on Capitol Hill and the incoming chief executive.

SHERA. ADROITLY TURNED. It Wat a Small Hole, but the Englishman Crawled Out. "I was watching a number of young Englishmen shooting at a target recently while I was on the other side," remarked an American army officer, "and at my elbow was a pompous Britisher of the old school, who, after shaking bis head impatiently at the frequent misses that were made, at length said to me: 'That only goes to show how the young men of England are degenerating. All this sort of thing reflects on the British nation.' "'It certainly is mighty poor shooting,' I agreed. "At that the old gentleman flared up and exclaimed: 'I sayl Perhaps you can do better, sir?" " 'If I couldn't shoot better than that, I'd be ashamed to eat breakfast. I answered. "Thereupon I was handed a rifle and told to show what I could do. I shot, and the first time I missed the target completely, so the laugh was on me. but before they could laugh twice I plugged the bullseye six times in rapid succession. At this the old gentleman was a trifle disconcerted, but he complimented me by saying: 'Really, now, you can shoot a bit, can't you? I say, there's nothing like a Yankee marksman with an English gun, is there, old chap?" "Los Angeles Times. A GREAT COMBINATION. When Husband, Wife and Mother-in-law Co-operate. Shortly after his marriage, which took place In 1880, John Burns, the British labor leader, settled down as a journeyman engineer In Battersea and twenty years after confessed that he was the first engineer to make with his own hands an electric tram car in Great Britain. In those days, however, people did not believe that electric traction was possible, and Burns had to take the dynamo and tram to the Crystal palace and run the latter round the grounds for six months before people could be induced to believe in the novelty. But the people were so nervous that, although the charge was only sixpence, none of them would venture in the newfangled invention. Then Burns was struck with a brilliant idea. He said to his wife, "You have got to come down to the palace three times a week and get into the first electric tram car as a decoy duck for the others." This was only temporarily successful. So Burns brought along bis mother-in-law, "and," said the energetic labor leader when relating the . incident, "when a husband, a wife and a mother-in-law co-operate success is assured." London Tit-Bits. Towers. The patient architect had just succeeded in getting Mrs. Drippingold to decide between the charms of renaissance, classic and Queen Anne for the plans of her magnificent new country house. "The only details I ain't goin to leave to your discretion," said the wealthy lady, "is the matter of towers. I want plenty of towers that folks can see for a long way off when they're ridin' by." "But what kind of towers do you want?" inquired the unfortunate architect "Norman, Gothic" Mrs. Drippingold closed the English novel of high life on which her soul had been feeding. "Why, ancestral towers, of course." Puck. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Regard for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. - P. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. O.

STATE OFFICERS NOW HAVE EYES ON MARION COUNTY (Continued From Page One.) So he votes that way and gets the place. That is what will happen this time. If the Kern crowd is able to control the members and elect Kern senator, the same crowd will say who shall be speaker of the house. If the Slack faction succeeds in electing Slack it will select the speaker also, llonan is close to the Kern element and Kern is most likely to be elected senator. Therefore, Uonan stands the best chance of election as speaker, as the matter stands just now. Reorganization Likely. There has been talk about the reorganization of the republican state committee, which will take place in another year. It is believed that James P. Goodrich, the present state chairman, will not stand for election and that the management of the organization will fall into other hands. Goodrich has been chairman of the committee during three campaigns. This is regarded as long enough for any one man , to hold the place. In addition it Is pointed out that he was out of the state all during the last campaign attending to his duties as receiver for the C. C. & Ia. railroad and that the organization made a losing fight Therefore, there Is every reason to believe that Goodrich will be succeeded by some other man. If this is done the new chairman will be a practical politician of the kind that knows how to do things in a campaign. , WInfleld T. Durbin, former governor, is one of the men mentioned for the place. Durbin is known as one of the very best organizers in the state. He knows every crook and turn in the political game and has played most of them. He says he is not seeking the place, but intimates that If he is elected he will accept and do his best. George "W. Cromer of Muncle is another possibility for state chairman. Cromer was congressman from the Eighth district until he was defeated two years ago by John A. M. Adair. He is an organizer of the highest class. It has always been said that Cromer can drive more voters to the polls than any other man In the state. During the campaign just closed he had charge of the labor end of the republican campaign and although he had an up-hill job on account of the hostile attitude of organized labor, he did great work in holding together at least a remnant of the labor vote for Taft and Watson. Cromer as republican state chairman would be dangerous to the democratic chances of success two years from now. Receipt That CURES Weak Men FREE.
