After the adoption of Smiths resolu-

fered preamble and resolution, the lat
ter OF which reads:
Resolved, That that the secretary of
this league request the different state
legislative bodies to introduce and pass
the following bill: Before any suit shall
be brought for the publication of libel
in any newspaper in this state the ag-
grieved party shall, at least three days
before filing or serving the complaint in
such suit, serve notice on the publisher or
publishers of said newspapers at their
principal office Of publication, specifying
the statements in the said article which
he or they may allege to be false or de-
famatory.
% If it shall appear on the trial of said
action that the article was published in
good faith, that its falsity was due to a
mistake or misrepresentation of the facts,
and that q full and fair retraction of any
statement therein alleged to be erroneous
was published in the next regular issue
of such newspaper. or in case of daily
papers within three days after such mis-
take or misrepresentation was brought to
the knowledge of such publisher or pub
fishers, in as conspicuous a place and type
in such newspaper as was the article COM
planned of as libelous, then the plaintiff
In such cases shall recover only actual

ions Of this act shall not apply to the

INDIANA TOWN SWEPT BY FIRE.
All Except Six of the Business Buildings
Totally DESTROYED,

DECATUR, June 13.-The town of Gene

was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
The fire was first discovered in julius
grocery store and spread rapidly to ad-
joining buildings. The town has no fire
protection, and owing to the drought all
the cisterns and many of the wells were
dry, leaving the town at the mercy of the
flames. The entire business portion of
the place was burned, excepting about
six business rooms.
The thing that saved the Shamrock
hotel and the bank building was the
blowing up with dynamite the saloon
building adjoining the Shamrock before
the flames reached it. The aggregate
loss on buildings and stock will reach
over $4,000 In no instance was stock
saved from the burning buildings. Sew

the fire, but no fatalities have been re-

SANDUsKY, June 13-The Ohio encamp-
ment, G. A. r. is in session here with q
large attendance. In his annual report
State Commander Mutt said, referring to
the Louisville encampment that the men,
bers of the G. A. r. should meet the south
ern veterans not in q way to leave the in.
fersnce to rising generations that there
had been quarrel between them and the
differences were mutually mended by the
agreement that both were partly wrong
and partly right, but meet them as We
did when the battle was over, without
Boosting or exultation. Since the error
has been conceded and acknowledged we
do not desire to open healed ruptures nor
to ungallantly raise q question on that
line"
Abiding to the loyalty of the G. A. r.
disselsions had exercised the people in

its ear to the phone and it's thumb on the

ton against anarchists or others who vio-

Referring to pensions the commander
said there seemed to be wide difference
between the spirit of the law and the
spirit of the executives. Judge Long, he
declared, was able to contend for his
rights and secure them by litigation, but

parallel with his own were ruthlessly
