LOOKINGJI SOURCE Fish and Game Association on Hunt for Stream Pollution.

Action on the alleged pollution of the Whitewater river is to be taken by the Wayne county Fish and Game Protective association at a meeting Thursday evening at the court house. For several days the pollution of the river by sewage or a substance that turns the water pink has been noticed. The pollution comes from a point north of the city. Members of the club this afternoon, traced the source of the pollution and will report to the Fish and Game club tomorraw. At the meeting of council last evening, a councilman stated that farmers living south of the city had demanded that the city take action to stop the pollution, which is thought to be injurious to the fish of the stream. The matter has been referred to the state's attorney. For years there has been agitation for a cleaner Whitewater river. City sewage cannot be diverted from the stream until other methods of disposing of it can be effected. The Light, Heat and Power company was an offended for some time, emptying waste products into the river, but this practice has been discontinued. The fish and game association has agitated against the pollution of the river, and plans to continue the fight until the river is clean enough to breed large quantities oj game and food fish. WILL ASK COLONEL TO BE 11 WITNESS William Randolph Hearst and William Loeb Will Also be Invited. (Natlonal News Association) WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Theodore Roosevelt's open letter to the Clapp investigating committee regarding his alleged relations with the Standard Oil company is not considered entirely sufficient with the Investigators. Roosevelt will be invited to appear before the committee, Senator Clapp intimated today when he arrived in the city. The senator will nlake Washington his headquarters from now on but will make trips to campaign for the Bull Moose party. He said today that he at once will begin work on arrangements for the resumption of the inquiry, which may take place in about a week. Senator Clapp said that no subpoenas would be served on anyone, as it was not, considered necessary, but efforts will be made to have Mr. Hearst and William Loe,b testify in addition to calling on Mr. Roosevelt to appear before the committee. ERROR OF JUSTICE Brings Oliver Garrett Before Wayne Circuit Court. Oliver Garrett was ' arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Mote on a . charge of assault and battery. Garrett resides one mile south of Whitewater and is alleged to have beaten and kicked Ben Floyd, August 27. The trouble started, it is said, over on argument about hay baling. It is alleged that Garret also struck Floyd with a hay baling hock, inflicting an ugly gash on his arm. Justice of the Peace Paxton, of Whitewater, fined Garret $2 and costs ior this offense, but as Paxton has no legal authority to do so without notifying the prosecuting attorney It was necessary to have Garret rearrested and arranged in the Wayne circuit court.

ELWOOD PLANS TO HAVE GREAT TIME On Sept. 13 Will Celebrate Founding of the Tin Plate Industry.

(Palladium Special) ELWOOD, Ind., Sept. 4. On Friday, September 13, (not, it is hoped, so unlucky as its day and date would Indicate,) Elwood will celebrate in a fit ting manner the twentieth anniversary j of the opening of the first factory for the manufacture of tin plate in America. The Merchants and Manufacturers club of Elwood has been working for the past year to make this celebration a success and it is believed it will prove the greatest industrial event ever held in Indiana. The opening of the tin plate in Elwood is remembered throughout the state, thousands of visitors having visited the city on that day when the first 6heet of tin in America was turned out from the hot mill department. William McKinley, then governor of Ohio was one of the speakers and many of the great men of the country were present. The plant was erected and placed in operation by Daniel G. Reid and the late W. B. Leeds. Experienced workmen from England and Wales had been brought by hundreds to the little gas belt town which was Just evolving from a village. The opening of the plant was successful In every way, It soon being demonstrated that tin could be manufactured here as well and much more cheaply than in Europe. In 1901 the plant became a part of the United States steel trust and there are now 42 plants operating in this country besides a large number of independent factories. From a country village Elwood has grown largely through the influence of this mammoth factory employing more than 3,000 persons, to a modern city of more than 12,000 inhabitants. Although the natural fuel of gas is now exhausted, the city has successfully met the changing conditions. New churches, schools, government buildings and business blocks are now in the course of erection. A street lighting system, the most satisfactory in any small town in the state, has been installed, and uniform cement sidewalks in the business section make the city as nearly ideal as can be found anywhere. At the coming celebration which will attract thousands from all over the state, $2,000 alone is being ex pended for decorating the city. A great industrial parade has been planned and the fireworks display at night will be the most elaborate ever attempted in Indiana. All of the steel trust officials, together with Daniel G. Reid and-many other financial kings of the country, will be here and mingle, with such men as Governor Thomas R. Marshall, Senator John Kern, Charles W. Fairbanks and many other prominent political figures who will speak during the day. In every way the celebration will be one in which the entire state will be interested as marking one of the greatest industrial advancements in Hoosier history. FORMER HUBBY OF RUTH BRYAN WEDS (National Newa Association) BELLEFONTAINE, O., Sept. 4. It became known here today that W. B. Leavitt, the divorced artist husband of Miss Ruth Bryan, daughter of William Jennings Bryan, was secretly married to Miss Gertrude Leeper, daughter of the Rev. Edward Leeper of Ft. Recovery, O. The bride is well known as a music instructor. Peruna and Ka-tar-no. I have received a letter from a young lady, who asks me: "Is the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-no) better than the revised Pe-ru-na?" Either medicine has its place. One is adapted for one condition, another for another. Ka-tar-no is a better remedy for some condlS. B. Hartman, M. D. tions than the revised Pe-ru-na On the other hand, the revised Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are both Intended as catarrh remedies. They have both done a great work in relieving catarrh, chronic and acute. Many hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the revised Pe-ru-na during the last six years since Its revision. There Is a difference, however, in the two remedies. Whenever catarrh is associated with constipation then the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. Indeed, this Is exactly why the revision was made, to meet such cases. But where no laxative la needed, where the bowels are regular or inclined to be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-no) is the better remedy. The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale at all drug stores. Those wishing to obtain Ka-tar-no, address The Ka-tar-no Co., Columbus, Ohio. For Hay Fever, Catarrh, Quick Consumption, Typhoid and contagious diseases.

F ACCEPTED BY The candidates on the Republican county ticket, who have also been placed on the Progressive county ticket, with the exception of Lee J. Reynolds, candidate for representative, held a meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss what action they will pursue. ; These candidates have been given ten days by the Progressives to decide whether they will withdraw from the Republican ticket and make the race on the Progressive ticket. Will W. Reller, candidate for prosecutor, today issued a statement that he would accept the Progressive nomination and withdraw from the Republican ticket. Announcements by other candidates are expected shortly. Mr. Reller's statement follows: Mr. Will J. Robbins, Chairman, Progressive Central Committee, Wayne County. Dear Sir: Named as nominee for Prosecuting Attorney of this Judicial District by a primary election held last February under the control of the then Republican County Central Committee, and likewise named as nominee for the same office by the Progressive party of Wayne County in com ration assembled on September S, 1912, it becomes necessary for me under Section 6900 Burns Revised Statutes (1908) to declare which nomination I will accept. In appreciation of many friends in both parties, who worked hard and unselfishly for my nomination during the cold and anxiety of last January and February I would naturally like to accept both nominations, and this too for the reason that the combined vote would make my election an easy matter. But as much as a fusion of two parties on one nominee might be desirable, in this instance it is impossible. The law is plain that the name of a nominee can appear but one place on the ballot. This works a hardship, it tends to inject party lines into local affairs where they have no place, and makes independent voting a difficult matter. The law was passed by the old school politicians to accomplish their purpose of whipping voters into line; it does not meet present day conditions, is obsolete and should be repealed. But the law is now cn our statute books, and although your party had nothing to do with putting it there, and perhaps does not approve of it, still you have to meet conditions as you find them. Your party has worked with the law as it now stands; has deemed it advisable to put a county ticket in the field and then has done the fair and honorable thing of offering places to the nominees of last February. For my part I accept the nomination tendered me by the Progressive Party and in doing so desire to make a statement of my position in the matter. My fitness for the office of Prosecut ing Attorney of the county is in no ' wise affected by whether I vote for Taft or Roosevelt and many persons have told me that they will vote for me in the Fall no matter on what ticket my name appears, but as far as my personal convictions are concerned it makes a great deal of difference where my name appears when there is both a Republican and Progressive ticket in the field. And in the beginning I want to make plain that I in no wise regard the name Republican as now used . synonomous with that name as used last February. In a national campaign year such as this one, and more particularly so this year than perhaps any other, it means for a man's name to be on the Republican ticket when it could be on the Progressive ticket that he subscribes to and condones what was done at the Republican National convention, that he is in sympathy with the Watson-Kealing-Hemenway-Durbin crowd in Indiana and that by his vote and through his influence he encourages such disreputable political methods and is willing to continue such men in office. Although the Republican County Committee has not officially demanded a stand of the county nominees on State and National issues, it is only a question of time until it will do so.

And of necessity the Republican committee will demand i in return that the county nominees give their support and their money to electing the Republican state and National tickets. Unless the county nomi nees put their shoulders to the whole j Republican wheel tney win re Knnea, despite any assurances to the contrary at this time. I was present as a spectator at the Republican National convention in Chicago, and every" element of fairness and honesty in my makeup cries out against what was done there, while my blood fairly boils when I think of the manner in which certain politicians in this state have wrecked the Republican Party and prostituted the government of the people to their own selfish ends. I feel strongly about these matters, and believe that I would be giving my approbation to such men and their methods if I remained on the Republican ticket after your offer of a place on your ticket. I shall support Roosevelt and Beveridge and having so determined I can not go through this campaign at war with myself, even though I lose office by the step I am taking, an office which means a livelihood and reputation to a young lawyer. Some have advised against my accepting the Progressive nomination on the ground that I am repudiating my nomination in February, and deserting the party which nominated me. I do not think so. A party is not an abstract thing, a mere machine which grinds out nominees from the material fed it; it is an organization of voters, whose work is directed by committees. It is much like a large family. The great majority of this organization of voters which nominated me in February has changed its name; the committee in charge has disintegrated, its . chairman and secretary have quit.

(National New AsaocUtlon) CHICAGO, Sept. 4. The body of a man believed to be E. Earl Ward of Columbus, O., was washed ashore from Lake Michigan today. Marks of violence on the body indicated a murder. The identification which the police claim to be almost positive was established by means of business documents, cards and marks on the man's underclothing. If the man was slain by robbers, they neglected to take his watch and money. From the papers in the man's possession it was indicated he w-as the president of a transfer and storage company of Columbus. O. On the head were found a number ot large bruises, any one ot which might have caused death.
