GRAY MAY APPOINT POSTMASTERS SOON

Many Seek Postmastership of Hagerstown Race At Connersville. MAY APPOINT'BROTHER Quincy Gray, Report Says, Wants Office Applications Sent in. (Palladium Special) CONNERSVILLE, Ind., March 18. Postoffice appointments at Hagerstown, Brookville and elsewhere will have to be made within thirty days, according to a statement of Congressman (Jray received here today. Indications point to the fact that these appointments will be settled soon. It Js believed that they will be Riven out before Mr. Gray attends the special sessiou at Washington, April 1. Billy Merrell and Simon Doenges are contenders for the office here. Confidence of landing the job Is strong on both Bides. It Is reported that he will recommend his brother, Quincy Gray for the place. Something has arisen to trouble even those who might secure Mr. Gray's Indorsement, because under Mr. Wilson's reign the congressman's recommendation does not settle anything. Names sent In by congressmen and senators for appointment are being gone over carefully and may or may not be given approval where it really counts. This is the plan of both Wilson and Bryan and is heartily indorsed by Postmaster General Burleson. What they seem to want is to know that men recommended have something behind them than a record for party service. Of course there are some who will be satisfied in every caBe and this new departure encourages them to fire letters to Washington giving reasons why so and so should not be named. It is going to be hard, hereafter to pay political debts with an appointment, unless the offlceseeker can show up good In the eyes of the powers at Washington. Those who are seeking the appointment to the Hagerstown office are Ed Mason, Frank Geisler, Alvin Benson, Thaddeus McGown and Exum Copeland. One Republican, Knode D. Porter, also desires the office. Mrs. C. A. Brehn, 35 North 8th, invites the ladies to call and see her elegant line of Easter Hats before buying. We will save you money. STORIES OF SHERIDAN. The Great Writer Had a Hard Time Dodging His Creditors. Like many a brilliant man before aud since his time, Richard Brinsley Kberidan had a habit of resting on his oars a bit too long when he thought himself tired. Then, finding himself short of money, he would borrow. This habit increased with his years, and, moreover, 'his efforts to discharge his ! obligations grew less and less. His reputation at last was such that tradesmen demanded cash on delivery. Benjamin Robert Haydon, who was himself woefully addicted to the same bnd habit, tells with evident glee two stories of his fellow sufferer. A butcher one day brought a leg of mutton to Sheridan's house. The cook took it, put it into the kettle, and went upstairs for the money. As she stayed away some time, the man entered the kitchen, took off the cover of the kettle, fished out the joint and walked off with it. But the laugh was not always on fvierirtan. A creditor whom he had successfully avoided for some time -:-!i:e plump upon him as he emerged j'miii Pall Mall. There was no possibility of dodging, but Sheridan did not lose his presence of mind. "Oh," said he, "that's a beautiful mare you're on!" "D'ye think so?" "Tes, indeed, now does she trot?" The creditor was pleased even flattered. He told Sheridan he should see and immediately urged the mare to do her prettiest. But long before the animal's best pace was reached. Sheridan had turned again into Pall Mall and was lost in the crowd. Exchange. Ease That Lame Back With Musterole!

MEXICAN JOAN Of ARC MEETS DEATH Was Shot By Federals While Leading a Charge of 200 Rebel Troops. (National News Association) LAREDO, Texas, March 18. The Joan of Arc of the rebel army was shot to death as she led 200 troops in a desperate charge against 350 Huerta soldiers, entrenched in Nuevo Laredo. Her body was found by the federals among twenty other dead when the garrison cleaned up the streets for a renewal of the battle today. She was identified as a relative of Carzarivas, a rebel leader. In the main street of Neuvo Laredo where the windows of the houses on each side were pouring machine gun fire, the woman led her band of 200 men. Skirmishing in the side streets continued for two hours. Then came the wild rush toward the city hall in which the woman, riding at the head of the column, was shot from her horse. Fifteen federals are admitted to have been killed. About forty wounded are being cared for at an improvised hospital by American physicians. NOTICE TO PALLADIUM SUBSCRIBERS.

The almanacs of Mr. Pepys' time were overwhelmingly of the prognostication order, and he enjoyed them much as we enjoy "Old Moore" now. Thus, on June 14, 16G7, "we read and laughed at Lilly's prophecies this month in his 'Almanac this year." The prophet certainly seems to have made a record bad shot. For, as the Lord Braybrooke notes, he observed: "The several lunations of this month do rather portend sea fights, wars, etc., than give hopes of peace, particularly the several configurations do very much threaten Holland with a most strange and unusual loss at sea, if they shall dare to fight his majesty's forces. Strange news out of Holland, as if all were in an uproar. We believe they are now in a sad and fearful condition." And June, 16G7, saw the Dutch in the Medway. London Express. Ruskin on Doctors' Fees. The problem of the doctor and his fee was admirably stated by Ruskin In his "Crown of Wild Olive." Writing of doctors, he said: "They like fees, no doubt ought to like them yet if they are brave and well educated the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick and if they are good doctors and the choice were fairly put to them would rather cure their patient aud lose their fee than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men their work Is first, their fee secondvery Important always, but still second." London Standard.

REBELS OPEN FIRE UPON BORDER TOWN U. S. Commander Sends Usual Order Not to Fire Across Boundry

(National News Association) LAREDO, Tex., Mar. 18. Insurgents encamped In the hills south of Neuvo Laredo, Mex., opened fire upon the town early today with the aid of glasses it could be seen that the rebel force j had been reinforced during the night. The 325 loyal federal troops in the garrison under command of Col. Ger- ! onimo Villareal had spent part of the ; night strengthening the southern defenses of the city and the outposts had been extended for some distance. At the outpost stations trenches were dug to protect the federal sentries from the fire of the insurgent j sharpshooters. There were said to be i a number of women with the rebels, j a belief which probably grew out of I the fact that a woman led the attack ! upon Neuvo Laredo. Her dead body was brought into the Mexican town after the battle and was the object of much curiosity. Her red flag clutched in her hand so tightly that the death grip could not be loosened and the ambassador had to chop the staff in two leaving part of it in her hand. Her horseman at daybreak today rode out of the sheltered lines under a white flag and dropped a note which was picked up by a federal sentry and brought to Neuvo Laredo. It contained a second demand from Manuel Carranza, leader of the insurgents that the federals surrender the town. His first demand was made yesterday. Col. Villacal did not reply to it. Manuel Carranza is a brother of the rebellious governor of Coahuila. Col. Brewer, commander of the United tSates post, Fort Mcintosh, in this city, sent word across the border that precautions would have to be taken to prevent Mexican bullets from falling on United States soil. The 20 rebel dead and the 15 dead federals were buried in tranches during the night. While federal soldiers worked in trenching, volunteer Red Cross nurses and doctors took care of forty wounded. Most of the rebels use Winchester rifles with lead bullets which flattened out when they hit their mark, making dreadful wounds. NACO IS ATTACKED. DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 18. Two thousand constitutionalist troops under Gen. Obregon and Col. Juan Cabral totday marched upon the Mexican town of Naco, immediately across the border from Naco, Ariz., and demanded its surrender from Col. Ojeda. The federal force in the town numbers only 500. Col. Ojeda refused to surrender and is reported to have made preparations to cross the border and surrender himself and his men ,to Col. Guilfoyle, commanding the Ninth United States cavalry, which is patrolling the border at that point.

TO DISCUSS VOTING MACHINE QUESTION Commissioners Will Talk the Matter Over At Meeting Tomorrow.

ANDERSON STATEMENT New Member Says He Favors Idea If Machines Are Perfect. The question of purchasing the proposed voting machines for Wayne county will probably be taken up by the county commissioners at their session tomorrow morning at which time matters pertatning to roads of the county will also be discussed. If the machines are purchased they will be used in the city election next fall. The commissioners favor the proposition of purchasing the machines though no special machine has been designated, as yet. The officials are open to conviction as to which concern has the best machine and the question will be thoroughly discussed before any definite action is taken. Commissioner Beeson is in favor of purchasing 32 machines as he believes in time the expense of elections will be materially lowered. There are sixty-four precincts. It is said that one machine could be used for two

precincts. The number of precincts will be lowered to thirty or thirty-two precincts where the registration and election will take place. It is believed the expenses of elections would be cut to one-half the former cost if the machines are purchased. Th cost of the last election was $3,224 63 while the registration cost was $5,679.50. The next registration will cost approximately one-third of what last year cost because the number of days were reduced from three to one on which voters may register. Commissioner Anderson believes the machine would be a good thing for Wayne county if the commissioners can be shown that it cannot be manipulated and will tand the wear of years of usage. "If I can be shown where the voting, machines will save money for Wayne county I will favor the proposal of purchasing them," said Mr. Anderson. Several years ago the commissioners proposed to purchase voting machines though no action was taken after the result of the investigation of the Young Men's Business club was made public. At that time the club committees which were investigating the merits of the machines reported that the results in other counties had been far from satisfactory and the machines had not only been manipulated but forced a heavier expense on the county. Machines had been sold to various counties by companies which latter went out of business. It was then impossible to obtain jarts of the machines when repairs were necessary. The operating expenses when the maintenance of the machines was considered was more than the ballot form of election which is now in vogue in Wayne county.
