BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a .mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost Instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver end bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little ulive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the Rood that calctnel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like sfcroncr liquids or calomel. Th'.y take hold otf the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most beiulaches. dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Ir. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you fi;fl"lggy"nnd"heavy." Note bow they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 23c per box. All dmrrrisfs.

Pubic

We, the undersigned, wage earners and citizens of Wayne township, believe that it will be against the best interests of the people of this township, at this time, to vote a $100,000 subsidy to Eugene Purtelle for his Traction Proposition. We believe that it will increase rents and add to the already heavy burdens of our people. Further, we do not believe that anyone is going to be misled by any promises of "a job on this line," for we know that traction lines are not built by local labor, but foreign labor is brought in for that purpose. Therefore, we are opposed to voting this subsidy, and wish to advise our friends against it.

SIGNATURES: Charles Wyatt Ott Thomas John Mararty Wm. McDonald Norman Lacey Norman Brown Elwood Carr Omar Ilanta H. Shankel Stanton Rockwell W. N. Spencer W. T. Crouch Earl Thomas Henry F. Erk Emmett Wolfe H. B. Otten W. C. Kise E. E. Miller

IPmrtdle With representative shop men from all over the city opposing the request of Eugene B. Purtelle, a Chicago promoter, that he be granted a $100,000 subsidy by the voters of Wayne township, and with the Commercial club and leading business men opposing the gift, it is confidently expected by persons conversant with the situation that the subsidy will be decisively defeated at the polls tomorrow. To defeat the subsidy gift VOTE NO when the ballot asking for an appropriation for the traction line is handed you. In an eleventh hour effort to stampede public favor for the project, PROGRESSIVES BEVERIDGE BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANA POMS, Nov. 2 The following forecast on the election tomorrow has been issued by the respective state headquarters: PROGRESSIVE. "The political trend is strongly with the Progressives. . . . Two years ago we did not even have watchers at the polls. . . . We were credited with more than 166,000 votes. . . . This year we are to sit on all precinct election boards. . . . We have the great advantages that accrue from complete organization everywhere." Edw. C. Toner, Progressive State Chairman. REPUBLICAN. "The organization is in tip-top shape. . . . The drift is running strong toward Republicanism. Evidences of a tremendous landslide are piling up." L. W. Hensley, secretary Republican state committee. DEMOCRATIC. "The Democratic party in Indiana will win by from 90,000 to "September Morn." One of the season's theatrical best bets! Biggiest hits! is the big musical comedy sensation or rather intoxication, "September Morn," which comes almost direct from its immensefly successful run at the La Salle theatre, Chicago. The cast includes Leo Greenwood, Ollie Carew, Barbara Douglas and the prettiest chorus that ever came to town; a big company of jolly dancing and singing girls, charmingly gowned, who fit into the scenic framing beautifully. Rowland & Clifford have given this, their greatest musical comedy effort, an expensive and elaborate production, resulting in a triumph complete. Tho X-ray futuriat twirl and other tango ideas in sensational dancing are among the lively and joyous turkey-trot effects. This lively up-to-the-minute fun show will he the attraction at the Murray tonight. Frank Hawkins Players Commencing tonight, the Hawkins Players will present all this week the 3-aet musical satire, "The Girl of His Dreams." Some very pretty electrical effects will be used also. Halton Powell, the greatest musical comedy producer, is responsible for "The Girl of His Dreams'' and patrons will be getting a dollar and a half show for the popular prices. Tonight the second Country Store vvi.ll be held after the performance and the list for this week excels all previous efforts. Election returns will be read between the acts and after the. show on Tuesday night and special messenger will be kept busy bringing the returns from the Palladium. FINE TWO MEN. ELDORADO, O., Nov. 2. After being warned for operating their pool rooms after closing hours, C. E. Lee and W. L. Harris were today fined $3 and costs for repeating the offense.

handbills were distributed over the city Saturday asking for support for the subsidy gift. Taxpayers are keeping in mind that if the subsidy is voted Purtelle, they must pay for it out of their pockets. There are no substitutes. Every shopman and owner of a small piece of property, every business man, every factory owner, every person who pays taxes on personal property must pay his share of the subsidy. Vote NO on the subsidy. The Commercial club, the South Side Improvement association, business men and shopmen are against the subsidy. CONFIDENT WILL WIN OUT 100,000 plurality. . . . Carefully tabulated returns by county and district organizations. . . We will carry every congressional district." Bernard Korbly, Democratic State Chairman. The one factor that engenders hope among the rank and file of the Progressive party is the leadership of the Hon. Albert Beveridge, candidate for United States senator. It is acknowledged on all sides that Beveridge has apparently lost little if any of his 1912 strength. Progressives insist that he has grown stronger throughout the state. By just how much he will lead his ticket is conjectural, but political wiseacres, even among other parties, unofficially predict that he will run surprisingly strong. Progressive leaders are laying stress on the fact that they will have for the first time representation on all precinct boards, and their confidence of success is also based on more thorough organization everywhere. They expect to draw heavily from both the Democratic and Republican ranks on the so-called anti-boss argument. VALUE OF BUILDING DROPSJO$6,600 Hodgin Reports Slump in Operations as the Winter Months Approach. Building Inspector Hodgin reported that $6,600 is the value of buildings for which permits were taken out in October. The city received for the twenty permits $31. For firty-three wiring permits, $35 was received. Eight heating permits brought $4. There were eighty-one permits of all kinds bringing a revenue of $70. The remainder of his report follows: Building inspectors, 42; wiring inspections, 60; heating inspectors, 18; miscellaneous inspections, 41; total, 161. Notices served, 18; fires, 3; fire loss $700. In the fire chief's report it is shown that two of the fires were extinguished without loss and practically the total fire loss was from one which occurred a few days ago in West Richmond. RENEW LICENSES. Liquor licenses were renewed to the Arlington Hotel company of Richmond find James R. Wharton of Cambridge City today by the county commissioners. The application of the Arlington Hotel company to have Alonzo Frame replace William T: Keene as selling agent for the hotel bar was granted. DRAW LEWD PICTURES. Miscreants who drew lewd pictures on the court house windows Saturday night in soap are being sought by Al. Brown, custodian of the building. It is believed some of the children of the neighborhood were the artists. The pictures were discovered before employes leached the building and the windows were washed. 3E

He said unless he received employment soon he would "do something." Mrs. Enlow at first thought the hanging body in the Greensfork barn Saturday was that of her son, but she was assured today by Coroner Peirce that the body had been identified beyond doubt as that of an escaped Easthaven inmate. Her fears were partly quieted but Mrs. Enlow still believes her son has or may carry out his threat and end his life. Enlow is unmarried. TRIES TO STEAL DRINK Emory White of Youngstown, O., was sentenced for intoxication in police court today for the third time in six weeks. When Schultz's bar on E street was crowded Saturday afternoon, he took a quart bottle of whiskey from the display window but was caught by a Cincinnati traveling man.

His sentence is fifteen days. EATON BOYS KEEP HALLOWEEN SPIRIT EATON, O., Nov. 2.

ALLEN SAYS THE ITEM ASKED FOR INTERVIEW Democratic Candidate for Prosecutor's Office Says Afternoon Newspaper Called Him To Its Office and Interrogated Him As to Fees Being Charged in Police Court Gives Statement to Paper.

Joshua Allen, Democratic candidate for prosecutor has submitted the following: "I notice by recent issues of the papers that I am accused of being a participant in "Dirty politics." in connection with the matter of fees taken by our prosecutor, Mr. Reller. "I was concerned in this matter to the extent that I was called to the Item office and interrogated as to what I knew of fees being charged in police court, and to that I gave the statement accredited to me. "I was prosecutor of this county for a short time and allowed to my friend, Mr. Reller. and his friendly newspaper the Palladium, full latitude to criticise any and all of my official acts, which they did when they said that I allowed Jack Lewis, the actor, "the unprecedented privilege" of appearing before the grand jury and testifying in his own behalf. And Mr. Reller in his platform that campaign said, 'It is never the grand jury's duty to try the guilt or innocence of a man, and if elected I shall keep such principle in mind.' Attacks Reller Again. "They fought me on that proposition and managed to make many think that I had committed a grievous error. At that time I well knew that if Mr. Reller ever became prosecutor and some defendant offered to testify in his own

WASHINGTON ROAD SQUABBLE AWAITS MEDIATORS ACTION

There are possibilities of a settlement of the road trouble in Washington township in which a miller and others along the river on the edge of Milton ask $6,000 damages if the course of a road is changed to prevent future washouts in floods. The attorney for the remonstrators. Will Kelley toid the board of county commissioners today that be will ask his clients what terms they desire in settlement with the petitioners. The commissioners will act as mediators in the case but can take no official action because the claim for damages is against the petitioning residents of Washington township and not against the county. A miller whose mill is on the opposite side of the river says that the removal of the curve in the highway will cause the water at flood time to I stand in the lower part of his mill' since the improvement will form a j in Tr-Ti t tin fur lnri frnm IVC I Vf Jll V.

CIVIC BODY MEETS TO ACT ON BRIDGE At a meeting of the Southwest Richmond Improvement association tonight in the Joseph Moore school house, arrangements will be made to file the south side bridge petition and secure a hearing Defore the commissioners Saturday in order to locate the proposed bridge at South K street.

The meeting is open to all citizens. EXTINGUISHES FIRE A small roof fire which did little damage was extinguished by hose companies before daylight this morning at 714 North Fourteenth street. The fire started from a defective flue. behalf before the grand jury. Mr. Reller would be compelled to reverse himself, as he did when Joe Brown offered to testify. "Mr. Reller criticised me for allowing the court to appoint Mr. Freeman to assist me in the first part of the time that I served as prosecutor, which was done, not at my request, but at the suggestion of the court, due to the fact that there was a large number of cases on the docket that must be tried at once and Mr. Ladd, who was the only man having knowledge of these cases had died. The evidence and witnesses in each case had to be run down again before any of those cases could be tried, and at that time and now Mr. Reller tries to make political capital of that fact by asserting that one of the Freemans is to be my deputy when at that time their service continued for only over a space of time of a month, and if elected now they will have no connection with the office. "As to the criticism that I lost the Sam Whalen case, the Jack Lewis case, and the May Fee Moore case. I will say that juries in each case were the last arbiters of justice and when they speak in judgment on the evidence fairly presented, no prosecutor can be condemned for not being able to win.
