IU UttUJIIIU IIIUUII TiLKJ PBEBLE Postmaster Grushon of Lewisburg Wants to Retain Job But Senator Dick Leads the Fight Against Him.

OFFICIAL'S PATRONS HAVE ENDORSED HIM

So Has County Executive Committee, But Along Comes an Inspector and He Has Filed Several Charges.

(Palladium Special) Eaton, O., March 18. Again lend

ing Its endorsement to the candidacy of George C. Grushon for the post-

mastership at Lewisburg, to succeed himself, the Preble county republican executive committee, In session here Thursday afternoon, left the political

muddle at that place in the shape It has been for several weeks. Grushon's time had expired, and several candidates went in the field for the favor, but the committee gave Its sanction to Leonidaa Risher, feeling that the service of twelve years

was long enough for the present incumbent. However, as soon as this notion was taken, Grushon's friends brought heavy pressure on the committee, with the result that its action was rescinded, and the endorsement of Grushon resulted. He had a petition bearing the signatures of more than six hundred persons, representlng at least ninety per cent of the patrons of the office. Disher is Also Knocked. A little later, Inspector Gaines, of Dayton, happened along to investigate the conditions, and, as a result of his findings, the post office department requested that the endorsement be given to some one else, and at the same time suggested that Mr. Disher also was undesirable. Thn reanlf nf ti a ln9TuiiHnn ia aairi

to have brought out five separate charges against Grushon: That he is alleged to have attempted to purchase, by money the committee's endorsement; that he is said to have hired rural carriers to circulate his petitions; that he is said to have hired other persons to circulate petitions; that he is alleged to have tampered with letters passing through his hands, and that he is said to have

colluded with Mr. Disher, causing the latter to withdraw from the race and, at the end of a term of four years,

was to have promised the Influence of himself and friends in securing the

appointment of Disher to the place. The action of the committee Thursday ' reveals two things. One is another evidence of the apparent dicta- " torial policy of Senator Charles P. Dick, who overrode the recommendation of the committee in the recent selection of a postmaster atCamden, where Walter J. King was appointed over A. O. Neff. The other is that, when Inspector Gaines made his. Investigation, he heard . only one side of the question, and utterly failed to examine any patron favorable to Mr. Grushon. The candidates 5 for the place are , George Grushon, Leonidas Disher, Henry Chambers, J. F. Radabaugh and B. M. Hartman.

Positively True

and Convincing Published With the Hope That Others Will Be Similarly Blessed. "I was just as weak and tired in the morning when I got up, as when I went to bed, had a dull heavy feeling in my arms and legs, and a continual burning sensation in my back. Dull heavy headaches were very frequent, especially, just before a change of weather. Gas formed a great deal in ray stomach and bowels, and I would bloat and belch very much. When my trouble started, some two years ago, I weighed ene hundred and sixty-two pounds, but through two years of dis

ease and misery, I lost thirty-eight

pounds. The medicine I took would

fill a good sized shelf, and I was growine worse all the time. About four

months ago, I saw a sick friend tak

lug Root Juice, he said it was doing him lots of good, so I concluded to

try it, although I had lost faith in ev

erything. The first bottle didn't seem to do me much good, but I imagined I was a little better, so I bought six bottles, before it was all used, I was

gaining a pound a day and feeling like

my old self again. Sleep was refresh

ing, appetite good, and digestion

deemed perfect. I no longer had the

dull, heavy feeling in my arms and

legs, or pain in my back, and have not bloated or belched since. Root Juice is the best medicine in the world, I

am telling all of my friends of the

great good it did for me. For busi

ness reasons, I do not wish my name published in the paper, but any one

who suffers as I did, can get it by

writing to the Root Juice medicine

people."

Root Juice is doing so much good,

throughout the country, that praise of

it is now being heard in every state

and at this point, it is easy to get

much valuable information, regarding

the remedy, by calling at Luken &

Co's drug store.

She requested the lad's return to the Plain- . field reform school, asserting that. It was just the place for him. .

reer of Louis Deforest Blodgett, only

son of Mir. and Mrs. W. H. Blodgett,

came to an untimely end at Salida,

Col., Tuesday, where the young man died of typhoid fever. Louis, as ,he

was commonly known among his

friends, had left Indianapolis last De

cember to take a trip through the west

This trip had been his dream for sev

eral years and as soon as he had sufficiently progressed in his chosen trade he started on a tour which he had planned to last more than a year. The

young man had been in the Colorado mountains for several weeks and was

very enthusiastic In his praise of the

gorgeous scenes. Every letter

home folks was teeming with praise of the greatness and grandeur of the country. He had, however, arranged

to go as far as Salt Lake City in a short time, when he was suddenly stricken with fever at Grand Junction, Col., where he was employed as a machinist in the Denver & Rio Grande shops. He was taken to the company's hospital at Salida and died before any of his family arrived. Mrs. Blodgett left Indianapolis last Monday and was speeding across the western prairies when the sad message from Salida was sent to her home telling of the end. She was due to arrive at Salida at 1 o'clock Wednesday night, when she would receive the first word of the death of her son. - Immediately after receiving the message of his death, E. P. Brennan, a brother-in-law, left for the west and was due to arrive in Salida early Thursday. They will return to Indianapolis with the body, arriving some time next Monday. . The deceased leaves his father, W.

H. Blodgett, one of the best known newspaper writers of Indiana, a mother and one sister, Mrs. E. P. Brennan. Arrangements for his funeral have not been completed, but will take place immediately after the arrival of the body from the west.

Michigan City, Ind., March 18. When John Tucker, convicted train robber, left his prison garb behind him after serving a ten-year sentence in Michigan City penitentiary, Indiana, he found that the world was against

him. He had about decided that there was no chance for an ex-convict to lead an honest life, when John G. Mott, of Chicago and Highland Park, who then was living in Michigan City, gave him employment and assisted him in other

ways. That was 38 years ago. Two weeks ago Tucker died here, leaving about $10,000 in property. Tucker's will was probated in the superior court in Laporte, Ind. In it he leaves his entire estate to Miss Genevieve Mott, the daughter of his benefactor. History of the Case. It was in 1S62, during the civil war, that Tucker, as a federal prisoner, was sentenced to a long term of service in the Michigan City penitentiary on conviction of robbing a mail train. Efforts which finally were successful were made by friends looking toward Tucker's release, which occurred in 1872, his conduct in prison having been exemplary. Tucker went to work with a will, first as coachman for Mr. Winterbotham and later in the same capacity for Mr. Mott. When Genevieve was born

Tucker became strongly attached to

her and looked after her welfare until the family moved to Chicago seven

years ago. Since that time he has

lived alone in a cottage in Michigan

City. The money which he willed to

her, he saved, dollar by dollar from his

1 ey and was never married.

He was 77 years old when he died, and members of Miss Mott's family were at his bedside at the last. He

had no living relatives. He Was as One of Family.

, Miss Mott said in the evening that

she had heard several days ago that

she was the sole beneficiary of Tuck' er's will.

"Mr. Tucker had no relatives and I suppose he had no one else he could

leave his property to," said she. "I

don't believe that he had as much as the report from Indiana stated, probably not more than $3,000. I know

iie had about that amount in cash In the bank.

"For a great many years he worked

for my father, and before that for my

grandfather as a coaenman. He was one of the family, bat he remained In

Michigan City when we came to Chi

cago." When asked concerning Tucker's ar

rest and conviction on the charge of

train robbery, Miss Mott said that for many years that subject had been avoided in the family. "We never talked about that." said

she. "Wanted Tucker to forget about

it. - It was a misstep made early in

his life and as he tried to live it down.

I dont like to talk about it now." Mr. Mott Is, president of J. H. Win
