A feature of -the Inaugural 8ouveaiv issued by the committee in charge of the inaugural ceremonies is a biographical sketch of President-elect Taft by President Roosevelt. :,v It , has peculiar significance in view, of the rumors that have been' published to the. effect that friction existed between Roosevelt and Taft The keynote of the president's sketch may be found in these words: "No man of, better training, no man of more dauntless courage, of sounder common sense and of higher and finer character has ever come to the presiOLD RUSH COUNTY ' FOR TEMPERAHCE Dry Forces Win a Decisive Victory Yesterday in LocalOption Election. GET A MAJORITY OF 2,009 ONLY TWO PRECINCTS IN RUSH- " VILLE WON BY THE WETS ; CAMPAIGN HARD FOUGHT BY BOTH SIDES. Rushville, Ind., Feb. 27. The most enthusiastic and hotly contested campaign ever waged in this county closed today with a triumphiant victory for the "drys," with a majority of 2,009. The election was very quiet and order ly. Both the wets" and "drys" were out early and worked with great determination, until . the ' polls closed. Most of the votes were cast early in the day. "Both sides were well organized and went after the tardy voters in earnest. . Both Fought Hard. -The 'drys" have been confident all the time and this gave them a distinct advantage. Both factions made liberal use of printer's ink, making the newspapers, cards and other printed matter a means of informing voters as to their position on the issues discussed. Great interest was manifested by the' women, who had no small part in making Rush county "dry." One of the surprises of the election was the vote in this city. Of the nine precincts only two, , the sixth and seventh, gave the "wets" a majority. The victory is a most decisive one and puts old Rush in the front rank of the great temperance reform. . . .

In one plftee he says, referring to Taft as solicitor general . "He won an enviable reputation and succeeded to a ' remarkable degree in combine entire, fearlessness, in statin? ana- upholding his own convictions with the ability to -avoid giving needless offense to those whose convictions, dif fered from his.' The combination' of these, qualitiesis rare. .There are too many men. in public as in private life ADMIRAL SPERRY RESIGNS COMMAND ATLANTIC FLEET Gallant Commander of Globe Circling American Battlesships, Succeeded by Rear , Admiral Wainwright. , JACK TARS RECEIVED WELCOME AT NORFOLK Enthusiastic City Cheers ! the4 Gallant Sailors as They March on Parade ..with Bands Playing. Washington, Feb. 27. President Roosevelt today, on - the request, of Rear 'Admiral Sperry, relieved him from the command of the golbe circling North Atlantic battleship fleet... Rear Admiral Wainwright,; who was 8 perry's saeond;in-command," has been appointed to the comand of" the fleet. Norfolk Welcomes Tars. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 27. Two thousand jackies from the Atlantic fleet, accompanied by Norfolk's military companies, marched through the flag decorated streets of the city this morning, this being the official welcome home day.

not a few who having the right convic tions and the courage to stand by them, nevertheless put them forward in the mo6t offensive manner in the manner . best 'fitted to prevent their becoming the convictions of . any considerable number of theit fellow- countrymen. It is one of Mr. Taft's great gifts of use fulness that he possesses exactly this ability the ability unflinchingly to stand by. the right, and yet to do it with the minimum of offensiveness to ward those who do not put matters as clearly as he does." BOYCOTT SIGNS HOT-IN EVIDENCE X Yesterday There Was a Large Number of Farmers in This City. SHOPPING QUITE BRISK LIVERY STABLES DID A LAND OFFICE BUSINESS AND THE STREETS WERE LINED WITH MANY VEHICLES. C "Just look at all this crowd of farm ers..: Now after you have watched them go in and out of the stores, go down to the corner and look at the hitch racks. Then step out into the middle of the street and look up toward the livery stables. . Ton will see long lines of buggies, carriages, farm wagons and vehicles of all sorts. Then come back here and tell If you believe Richmond merchants ; are being boycotted, be cause the city voted wet at' the local option election. . No Boycott Visible. It was one of the prominent uptown merchants speaking: and he was giving instructions to a Palladium reporter. The subject of the local boycott had been up for discussion and the merchant ridiculed the idea. He maintained that so long as the local merchants have the right kind of goods, offer them at reasonable prices, this city is the county seat and rural residents are the most conveniently situated to it, there need be no fear of any boycott resulting from the election. : . Were Many Shoppers. The appearance of Main street and the entire shopping: district yesterday afternoon and -early last evening warranted, the belief that the merchant knew whereof he spoke. - It was the largest crowd of shoppers that has assembled on the streets since the holidays. And It was a buying crowd, too. Oroaps were not formed for street gossip, but the stores were crowded and a large amount of money was spent with the merchants. All kind of supplies porch swart and -the. roads -were

Isaac Jenkinson Read an Ex

haustive and Instructing Paper on a Subject Which is Little Known. ... QUESTION WAS ONCE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE Anti-Slavery Party, Helped by Local Community, Won Victory by Small Majority . Wissler's Address. "Slavery as it existed in Indiana," a paper prepared and read by the Hon. Isaac Jenkinson before the Wayne County Historical society at its meeting yesterday afternoon in its new headquarters, MorrissonReeves library, proved very entertain ing and one of much value to the members. The meeting was largely attended by the members. Other business taken up included the inau gural paper of President B. F. Wissler who was unable to be present owing to the death of his father and it was read instead by one of the members of the society. , Slavery In Indiana. Mr. Jenkinson in his paper pointed out that the introduction of slaves in this state began with the first settle ment, or followed soon afterwards. Slavery spread and existed in almost every community where there was a settlement of : white people. It became so extensive that even the Indians themselves, in their conquests, or by barter and sale obtained slaves and worked them. The battle, which resulted at the time Indiana was ready to become a state and adopt a constitution as to whether Indiana should be a slave or an anti-slave state, was. referred to by - Mr. -jenkinson. - He stated- that by a small majority Indiana was voted an anti-slave state. This . vicinity took.- a prominent pert in the fight although it was sparsely settled, but nevertheless, to it is attributed the success of the anti-slavery movement. Had it not been for the fact that, just before Indiana took its vote on the question immigration set in from the Northern states and from the southern anti-slavery districts,, the state would undoubtedly gone for slavery. However the mere fact that Indiana went on record as against slavery in this election, did not eliminate IJ, it was pointed out by Mr. Jenkinson. It was not until 1850 that all traces of slavery were eliminated. Was Treated Fully. Mr. Jenkinson's paper was quite lengthy and treated the subject fully. President B. F. Wissler In outlining his plans for the ensuing year urged that all members take an active part and that they secure any curios or other material which will be interesting and which can be placed in the society's curio room. He advisd the co-operation of the society with the Earlham students in this particular. , In his paper mention was made of the society's new home. It's quarters are now located on the third floor of the library. Here in a special room have been placed all the curios possessed by the society, the books and other belongings. However as this room is too small for assembly purposes the society has been granted the use of the assembly room on the lower floor. Mr. Wissler expressed the gratitude of the society to . the library officials for granting the use of the rooms. Rev. Marshall of Martinsville and Rev. T. J. Graham, of the First Presbyterian church, have changed places for tomorrow and Rev. Marshall will occupy the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church at both services. Rev. Graham will speak to Rev. Marshall's congregation at Martinsville.

LJsbon, Feb. 27. The carnival celebration of the week ended today in a blaze of rioting. Two hundred men and women are in jail. The merrymakers took the extreme liberty to mimic the assassination of the late King Carlos and in the midst of the

shooting it was found that ordinary muskets were being used. The pre caution to remove the bullets had not been taken and a number ' were wounded. It is not known . whether any are dead or not. The ' soldiery was called into action and charged through the streets with fixed bayonets, dispersing the lawless multitude. MAY BE SUMMONED TO APPEAR AS A WITNESS III CASE 11 Generally Reported that President Roosevelt Will Appear for Defense in the Pulitzer Case. IT WOULD INTERFERE WITH AFRICAN TRIP Fight to Obtain Extradition of Publisher and Editors of New York .World Will Be Bitter One. Washington, D. C, Feb. 27. A re port Is in circulation here that an attempt is to bfe made to prevent Pres ident Roosevelt' 8 African trip by hav ing him - summoned ' as a 'witness in the World libel case, which grew out of the. Panama canal scandal. Roose velt will reach New York. as a private citizen early next Thursday evening, five hours after relinquishing his of fice to Mr. Taft. The idea is, accord ing to reports,' to have him served then as a witness for the defense. This, it is urged; would have the ef fect of forcing Roosevelt to remain in America until the case against Pulitzer and the World is either tried or abandoned. A Protracted Struggle. The fight to obtain the extradition of the publisher and the editors of the World is expected to be -a Most bitter one. and the government here is pre paring for a protracted struggle, in view of these facts, the prosecution has delayed serving warrants, cnarr Ing criminal libel, against Joseph Pulitzer, Cebel M. Van Hamm and Rob ert Lyman, in connection with the Dublications of accounts of the Pana ma deal, which connected the names of Charles P. Taft, Douglas Robinson, President Roosevelt and others with the transaction. Delay in Service." When Stuart McNamara, assistant district attorney and - special aid . to the department of justice, left New York for Chicago, it became known that until after March 4th, at least, warrants would not be served. ' The factthat service will be held up until that date is taken as significant and many theories, are being advanced as to the probable cause. ." It Is also suggested that Theodore Roosevelt, who takes title of ."citizen", at noqp March 4th, will play a part In the New York hearing. It is practically certain, however, that should a summons be served on him when he arrives in New York next Thursday night, summons will he as defense witness, not as one for the government. Wen grounded Information says this, in all likelihood, will be the case and officials here have admitted that there la a good reason for the president to delay in pushing the charges. to Want Ada. now, ;

This la the substantial wording and Intent of a minute of the Dublin Quarterly meeting adopted at their session on Saturday afternoon.

" . " One after the other men and wo men arose and said that they agree with the minute. A composite of the fragmentary and impassioned: speeches-would be as follows: ; Deplore Hie Action. - j . "We greatly deplore the action of Professor Trueblood. We do not see how he can profess to be a temperance man and join the forces of. demon rum. but above all things It Is? his influence . that counts.
