THE SPECIAL SESSION ADJOURNS SINE DIE

Held Over An Extra Day Because Representative Knisely Made Charges Against the Governor.

The special session of the state legislature adjourned Wednesday afternoon at 3:13, after having vindicated Governor Hanly from the charge of bribery preferred by Representative Knisely. <» Following the successful vote on the county option proposition, Klns-ly made a sensational charge that Governor Hanly had offered to give him f appointment provided he would vote for the county option bill. He made the charge in £he shape of an affidavit, and some of the most ardent saloon and brewery sympathizers thought they had the governor in a fine trap, and the democratic le"ders were making the very most out of the scandal. But at this juncture Governor Hanly stepped in with a demand that the charges be investigated and a non-partisan committee was appointed to investigate the charges and they brought in a report unanimously

FROM OVER INDIANA

The Indiana Federation of Labor, in session at Vincennes adopted a resolution to appoint a committee to ask William J. Bryan to display the union label at the head of his editorial column in the Commoner. ‘= x = The corner stone of the new SIOO,000 Scottish Rite Cathedral was laid at Fort Wayne with imposing ceremonies.

signed, and which completely exonI erated Governor Hanly. The house ! took Knisely mildly to task for havj ing made the affidavit and the session adjourned with a complete failure of the plan of the brewers to make a criminal out of Governor Hanly. The outcome was a victory for the governor in every way, and many who were opposed to the calling of the special session now agree that it was the entirely proper thing to ' do, and Governor Hanly has t’ re credit of it solely to himself. But 1 the loyalty of his party and the 1 heroic determination of the six d m- , ocrats in the house to do the right thing regardless of consequences, I makes the session and its accom- . plishments stand out as a conspicuous argument that the right prevails. Governor Hanly has signed all the bills passed at the legislature except the mining bill which he lias taken under consideration. , -* 1

COCKBAN ON TAFT.

There Is a remarkable unanimity of opinion of Judge Taft in all parties and in all sections. Men pay tribute to his remarkable ability even where party politics may exert such an influence as to demand the espousing of the rival presidential candidate’s cause. As an illustration W. Bourke Cockran In an interview at Boston the other day said: "Yes, I shall support Bryan; he is the best candidate the. Democrats could put up. Taft, however, is the greatest and best qualified nominee ever offered tn any republic in the world. He is a greater man than Roosevelt, and when surrounded by the same environments that made Roosevelt great will prove a bigger man. Taft is a wonderful administrator. the greatest the country lias ever seen, aud Is a wonderful worker.”

Ex-Slave For Taft. An ex-slave living in Philadelphia -has sent to the Philadelphia Ledger ( the following letter: To the Editor of Public Ledger: I have read many of the different viewe as to whether it would better the condition of the working people for the colored people to vote for Bryan for president, a vast number of the colored race belougi ing to that class. My belief is that it would be political I suicide for any colored person to vote the i Democratic ticket, as Democrats have ’ been the enemy of my people ever since 1 slavery days, and today in the solid south I it is almost Impossible for a colored person to go near the polls, not saying any- | thing of voting. Bryan’s election would give the Democratlc party power to entirely disfran--1 ehise the colored voters. HOWARD ANDERSON. ‘■Ex-Slave."

Fearing an epidemic of scarlet fever, which broke out in several families in the east part of Warsaw late last week, Mayor Charles A. Rigdon has ordreed the east ward school building closed for an Indefinite period and has announced that if further cases develop that all of of the city will be closed. Heavy .impure blood makes a muddy, pimply complexion, headaches, nausea and indigestion. .Thin blood makes you weak, pale, sickly. Burdock Blood Bitters makes the blood rich, red and pure—restores perfect health. It seems to be a question whether Governor Haskell, sloshing around calling Roosevelt a liar and a crook, will be juay less damaging to the Democrats than he was in th* offt r e of treasurer. Governor Hughes seems to be another who failed to bear the decision that there is no argument at all against guarantee of bank deposits. The reason why the Democratic party hasn’t such men as Roosevelt, Taft, Root and Hughes in it is simply because its membership is so largely composed of one W. J. -Bryan. —-r A violent heart throb over the option bill.

Lee Richards in New Mexico.

Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 21, 1908. Dear Editor: I was requested to write you a small letter about this territory. My first experience of the west began at LaJunta, Colo. I could look, for a distance of a hundred miles and see the Spanish peak. It looked about 10 miles to me. Arriving at Trinidad, Colo., I looked a distance of about 18 miles and on the left could see what is called Fisher’s Peak. It stands out in relief like a castle. By looking at it from the city a person would Judge it to be about 50 feet square, but one is surprised at the top to find it is some hundreds of acres square instead of fifty feet.

Motor cycles can not reach the top, as when they get about one-third of the way up the machines fail to work. On looking to the right you can see Simpsons’ Rest. Simpson and his family are buried there. They were the first settlers of that vicinity. From there I ascend the Raton Mountains. The top is about 7,688 feet in altitude. "When descending the mountain from there one beholds such fine gifeen valleys, inhabited by Indians and Mexicans. Then you keep on descending the mountains for about 1.75 miles. Then you ascend the noted Glorletta Divide, with an altitude of 7.537 fee'. It is noted for its great canyons. Then I arrived in the capitol of New Mexico. While I was there I paw an old church made out of mud, whidh is called adobe. It is supposed to be in the neighborhood of 500 years old. The church is still used to hold services. Leaving the old city I arrived in my present home, which is in Albuquerque. Here I remained three weeks with friends. But now I am in a house of my own —a ranch about 10 miles from Albuquerque. There are canyons back of the house. The names are Bear Canyon and. Wild Cat Canyon and Panther Canyon. I am on the cow boys ranch, of about 30,000 cattle and sheep. The beauty of this country is you can get up any morning and see the sun. I can look on either side of me and see the Santa Fe mountains, also the San Pedro and the Arizona mountains and the Albuquerque mountains.

Miss Kate Maxwell went to Rensselaer Wednesday to have some demal work done. _ Miss Vera Parker, of Chicago, was home over Sunday with his parents Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Parker. Reecy Cavinder sprung a surprise on his folks here Saturday evening by bringing home with him from Knox C. M. Greenlee and Sam Holmes, the latter of Rensselaer, returned home ■ from’ their visit tjuTennessee Tuesday morning^"" I Bruce Banta, of Valparaiso, arrived here Monday evening, but too" late to attend the funeral of his sister. Bad train connections were the cause. E. E. Kennedy has moved from the M. E. Corliss farm up near Newland, and a man from that region is coming on the Corliss farm we understand. The long drouth was broken Sunday night when we were greeted with a fine rain lasting until after midnight. Then the wind got into a northwestern direction and blew quite cool all day Monday. H. H. Stewart and son, the former Hanging Grove stone road contractors, are planning to have their engine and some other fixtures on the McAffee farm, loaded on a car and shipped to them at Kokomo. -

Richard Foulks was in McCoysburg Tuesday afternoon, the first time for quite a while. He reports his wife as in quite poor health this fall, and will probably take her to Logansport the latter part of this v.eek to secure better medical aid. Noble Moulds is another one of our good citizens that will hunt different pasture next year. Just last week he was over to Pontiac, 111., and he and a brother, Geo. Moulds, closed a deal for a store in a country town about ten miles from Pontiac, located on the Illinois Central railroad. From all reports it is quite a busy place. Mr. Moulds expects to have a sale and move out there about Jan. Ist.

A message was received here late Saturday afternoon by Mrs. J. R. Phillips, stating that Alice Banta had died at Milford. She lived in Chicago for several years and was engaged at dress” making most of the time. It was during her stay there that their only child Lola died and was back here for burial only 2 or 3 years ago. But since that .time she has suffered considerable nervous breakdowns and worry which resulted in her de>th. Her body was brought here for burial in Osborne cemetery where the rest of the family that have preceded her are buried. Only a few people outside of relatives attended the burial.. Sunday morning about 3 a. m., Mrs. R. V. Johns- was awakened by the noise of someone walking in the summer kitchen. Her first thoughts was that Mr. Johns or their son Robb, was up for something, but on hearing the noise again she called to Mr. Johns who was in an adjoining room. Finding all the family asleep, it mighty soon developed that a thief was out in the summer kitchen. Just ias Mr. Johns sprung from his bed he heard, the thief open the door and make good his escape. Nothing was missing however except a loaf of bread and some butter. In making his escape the intruder upset some fruit jars.

One of the greatest plays of the age has suddenly taken the' country by storm. “The Devil”,’ Which is how being played to crowded houses and thousands of people are being turned away unable to secure a seat "The Devil” which is novelized by the famous Hungarian writer, Franz Molnar, and the only correct version of this great play that will appear in this city shortly. “The Devil” is a collection of all the man’s makeup. The plot of the play continues to hold an audience spellbound through- • out until the last drop of the cur- | tain. The most talked about play at I present over two continents.
