MORGAN
COUNTY
TO COIITIIIUE DRY Without the Semblance or a Fight Temperance Forces Win Easily. Fayette election today CAMPAIGN CLOSED IN CONNERSVILLE LAST EVENING AFTER A HARD FIGHT BY BOTH THE WETS AND THE DRYS. Martinsville, Ind., Feb. 23. Morgan county yesterday added its voice , to the chorus of disapproval of the licensed saloon by a substantial majority. The figures, based on the complete unofficial returns, show a "dry" majority of 1,055 in the county. The weather was very much against n election. The rain, snow, sleet and wind, with lowering temperature, Served to keep many at home who might have exerted themselves to vote had the day been bright. It Is estimated that !es3 than three-fourths f the normal vote was polled. The election was a very quiet affair and there was a certain lack of Interest because of the fact that the county has been saloonless for some time and many just took it for granted that it wasn't necessary for them to hustle much to keep It so. There were tiio demonstrations and the election In 'Its entirety was a perfunctory attain. Each of the fourteen townships "with one exception, voted for the ;4drys' by substantial majorities. The one exception was Ray township, in which the vote was a tie. This is a situation that has not arisen In any iof the townships in any of the counties in which elections have been toeld on the liquor issue. Five of the even precincts in Martinsville gave 'dry" majorities. BOTH SIDES HOLD MEETINGS. Connersvllle, Ind.. :., Feb. 25. Two mass meetings, one held in the Auditorium theater by the "drys" and the lother in the Andre opera house by the "wets," closed the local option icampaign in Fayette county last night. The Rev. Joshua Stansfield of Indianapolis was the principal speaker for the "drys" and Mrs. Isa"belle Rice of New York spoke for the ."wets." Both meetings were largely attended. c ; : : Dr. J. H. Morrison, chairman of the committee of 100 which has had charge of the "dry" campaign, declared that' the victory would be a sweeping one for temperance. He did not Care to make a definite statement as to possible majorities. Beyond the statement that the election would be "very close" the "wets" would not discuss the situation. The last "few days of the campaign both sides made liberal use of newspaper Is pace. The "drys" have carried halfpage advertisements in the three daily -papers for the past eight days. The "wets" have used smaller space In the two evening papers. Courier For "Drys." A week ago the Courier declared editorially for the "drys" and since that time it has devoted several columns daily to the cause of temperance. The News has stood with the "drys" all along, though not committing itself In positive terms editorially. Late this afternoon the committee of 100 issued a statement in which a Teward of $30 is offered for the arrest of any person found buying or selling votes or-voting illegally. All the saloons in this county are segregated in the business section of this city. There are twenty in number. In the rural districts of the nine townships of which the county is composed sentiment for prohibition is apparently overwhelming and upon these districts the "drys" are relying for a big vote. ' ' KIRKMAIIJOUGHT IT In Senate Yesterday He Led Attack Against Public Accounting Bill. GARY BILL NOT CALLED Palladium Bureau,' ' Indianapolis, Feb. 25. Senator Kirkman, of Wayne county, was one of the most active members of the senate In the fight over the public accounting bill yesterday. Kirkman understands parliamentary practice and the rules of the senate about as well as anyone who has been in that body in a long while and he helped his republican brethren out of the hole several times In this fight 'through his knowledge' of the rules and practice. Senator Bowser made an effort yesterday, to call up his Gary court bill and have it passed over ' the governor's veto, hut the effort failed. He tnade the motion at the wrong time and did not get anywhere with it, but he announced that he will call up the bill within the next day or two and try to hare it passed over the veto. There is little likelihood that it will get through. City bowling alley, 22 N. 9th 2&tf
TO IMPROVE THE WATERJF RIVERS Bill Introduced Whereby Towns May Work Out Their" Own Salvation.
TO KILL DISEASED CATTLE REPRESENTATIVE WICKEY ENTERS BILL FOR THE KILLING OF CONSUMPTIVE CATTLE AND FOR PAYING OWNER. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 25. Representative Wickey, of Lake county, introduced a bill yesterday authorizing municipalities to join in the creation of a sanitary district. He explains that there are in Lake county severaL cities and towns that join each other, making practically a continuous city and that all are along the Calumet river. The river is frightfully polluted witi sewage andt waste material, which is dumped into it br the factories and industries along thJ banks, and the water supply of the cities is polluted and in a terrible condition. The state" health authorities have been appealed to, but they are powerless to do more than recommend and point the way to relief, which the towns themselves must work out. To Improve Water Supply. It was suggested that the municipalities all get together and form one organization for the purpose of bettering the condition, and it is in furtherance of this plan that the bill was introduced. Wickey pushed a bill through the house yesterday authorizing the state veterinarian to condem and kill dairy cattle found suffering! with tuberculosis, the owner to be paid for the same out of the state treasury. The bill provides also that the state veterinarian shall make all tests of cattle for tuberculosis at cost, on the reeuest of the owner. The bill Is intended to give the dairy herds of the northwestern part of the state proper standing in Chicago, where nearly all of the milk is sold. A DELAYED LETTER. And What Happened When the Missive Was Finally Recovered. The vagaries of the postal service are sometimes beyond the understand ing oi ine layman, in Jiarcn or last i year a man in New York received a f letter from a friend in England, writ-i ten when on the point of sailing fori Philadelphia, urgently requesting him ' to return a loan of $10. The man who I wrote the letter needed funds and would the debtor kindly send the money to him, care of the steamship line at Philadelphia? The man'in New York saw that his friend would reach Philadelphia within a day or two, so he promptly clapped a ten dollar bill in an envelope and addressed and mailed It. A week later he was apprised by mail that the money had not arrived. Both men made a diligent search for the missing letter. But It could not be found. So the debtor gave his friend a check and forgot about his $10, setting down its loss to the dishonesty of some intermediary who had handled the envelope. Imagine his surprise when one day eight months later he received his letter from the dead letter office in Washington. It was covered with postmarks and much battered, for it had traveled many thousands of miles, back to England, around the United Kingdom and to America again, but the money was safe inside. Chuckling, he met his friend a few minutes later and showed him the ten dollar bill. "How's that for luck?" he queried. "Great," replied his friend. "Say, old man, you couldn't lend me that for a day or two, could you? It's like picking money up in the street for you, and I could make use of it just now." . Sadly the bill was handed over. "What's the use of such wonderful occurrences?" ruminated the "lucky" man. Xew York Post. The Best Laid Plan.

The New Phillips. Drama of a much better quality than is usually seen on the vaudeville stage was presented to the New Phillips pa trons this afternoon and was received with gusta. "The Silver Sword'' is builded upon an authentic incident which occurred on the eve of the famous battle of Waterloo, which was to decide the greatest question in modern European history. The company offering this interesting one act drama, is capable of the work which the lines require. It is commonly conceded that the majority of vaudeville artists of today are prone to accept and attempt to produce dramas and comedies for which they have had no training, but this company is easily master of every situation and shows an admirable comprehension of the lines. The Musical Ten X's furnished a good qualify of music and were well accepted by the audiences. Billie Christie, the dialect monologuist, possesses an admirable personality to shove out jokes. William can say the commonest sort of things in the funniest sort of a way. "The Land of Nod." The Land of Nod's comedy is of the brilliant, wholesome sort, which keeps the audience constantly convulsed with laughter; its music is the popular swinging, melodious sort, which finds instant favor and which is so captivating that it is quickly remembered and its attractiveness is emphasized by stage environment which is a delight to the eye and which by its massive proportions, its highly artistic coloring and its originality of design, makes an indelible impression upon th mind. The work is presented by a company of comedians and vocalists Wnich is generally regarded as the most competent that has ever been brought together on the stage at one time. Principal among these are Knox Wilson. William Welp, Maurice Darcey, Adelaide Harland. Grace Dew and Dorothy Webb. Of course, there are others in this remarkable company who have important work to do and these well known names are a guarantee of a cast of unusual excellence. Then there is a chorus of 60 made up principally of sweet-faced, graceful girls who sing and dance and who wear frequent changes- of stunning costumes. . Filipino Band. The Filipino Band is coming to the Gennett next Friday, Feb. 26th. A peculiarly Interesting feature of the instrumentation ofv the Constabulary band, which is coming from Manila to take part in the ceremonies of Taft's inauguration as president of the United States, and which will stop en route long enough to play a few concerts here, is the .extent of Its reed section. There are 84 players in the band, besides the leader. All save the latter are Filipinos; the director is an American negro.
