GAVE LIQUOR LICENSES
FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ARE ~CENsyRED.
The municipal 400 Put Out over
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Big Reve-
nues from Saloons.

FRANKLIN, Ind. Aug. THE County
Commissioners this morning, by a vote or
2 to /, granted three liquor licenses. This
action followed a trial of the cases lasting
several Gays and was a surprise TO many,
Notwithstanding the saloon men had been
confidently Boosting that licenses would be
secured this term. The applications were
all to sell in the First ward and the "mu-
nicipal &C., had secured a blanket remon-
STRANGE with a majority of over thirty. The
commissioners are alleged on various pre-
texts to have thrown out enough names to
wipe out the majority. The temperance peo-
pie declare the action was a ~high-handeo
outrage as many of the names marked on
were of men who have lived and voted here.
They have all their belongings here, swore
they are residents and in one case the
man has several times served on city cleo
tion boards. The board has been roundly
criticised to-day by citizens generally over
its action. The member OF the board who
voted against granting the licenses is quoted
as saying that the temperance people un-
doubtedly had a clear majority of at least
nineteen. The matter Will probably be
carried into the courts.

an Indian woman wandering about had
stumbled into a well, the bottom of which
could never be reached. This we'll was ex-
plored and at the bottom they found the
skeleton of a woman fairly we'll preserved,
whom they judged to have fallen or been
thrown into the well about 100 years ago.
All the specimen will be shipped to the

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. THE fresh in
surrectionary outbreak in Macedonia, which
was believed to be impossible, has pro-
duced Il sensation everywhere. 1t is be-
lieved that the latest provocations by the
Turkish troops drove the insurrectionists
to despair. The Bulgarian government is
resolved to maintain friendly relations with
the Porte and to prevent bands from cross
ing the frontier, but a popular movement
is feared in the event of massacres of
peaceful Macedonians by the Turkish SOL
diery. Meetings OF prominent Macedon-
ians were held here yesterday and to-day
and measures for succoring the sufferers
from the Instruction were discussed. but
no decision was reached.
According to a dispatch from Vienna last
night the Macedonian central revolutionary
committee had fixed Aug. 81 as the date for
a general rising, and had appointed Boris
Sarafoff commander of the revolutionary
forces.
Boris Sarafoff, whose name has been
prominent in recent uprisings in Macedonia
against the Turks, has been described as
'the most romantic figure in the Balkans"
He was popularity believed and stated to be
the real instigator of the abduction of Ellen
NJ. Stone, the American missionary, from
the Villayet of Salonica in September, 1901.
in order to procure, through her ransom,
funds to enable the Macedonian revolu-
tionary to organize the insurrec-
ton in Macedonia. His hatred of the Turks
was imbued at an early age through seeing
his father and grandfather tortured, drag
ged off in chains to a dungeon and then
exiled for fifteen years. AT the age of
fourteen he attacked. single handed, the
prison in which his father and grand
father were confined, but he was logged
for his pains. The boy swore to revenge
himself on the Turks and studied 10 this
end, becoming an officer in the Bulgarian
army.
In 1895 Sarafoff formed a band of des-
peradoes to raid Turkish territory. Since
then he has headed 3S4 daring raids into
Turkey. Once he captured the Turkish
town of Melnik with forty men, putting the
garrison to flight.
Sarafoff is familiar with hundreds OF
miles of tracks through forests and over
the mountains of Turkey. His whole aim

TO WE'D OLD SWEETHEART.


WALLACE, Idaho. Aug. Limited States
to Pennsylvania to wed, next Wednesday,
the girl who was a sweetheart of his boy
hood days and who has waited for him
twenty years. Senator Hepburn has lived
in Idaho since 1883. He came to the Occur
d'Alene a young lawyer, without fame and
with little money. To-day he is the recog-
nized head of the Idaho bar. When a boy
he became acquainted with Miss Gheratine
Yeatman in the Chester county, Pennsyl-
vania, Academy. They were both of Quaker
families. They were first friends, then
s~weethearts, and when Mr.. Hepburn came
to the West to win fame and fortune it was
mutually understood that some day his
name was to become hers.
Mr.. Heybur came to Wallace and has
been a resident OF this city ever since. He
won a place at the bar and In politics. He
was chairman of the committee on judici-
airy in the convention which framed IdahO's
Constitution. In 1898 he was the Republican
nominee for Congress-. but was defeated by
the fusion of the Democrats. Populists and
Silver Republicans" He was a delegate
to the Republican national convention in
1855. 1892 and 1900. He was elected United
States senator early this year and will be
the biggest man III the Senate, at least in
a~voirdupois. But he makes good humored
complaint that Eastern papers-and by
East an dah man means anywhere east
of the Missouri river-have exaggerated his
weight.
''They say l weigh 400 pounds he re-
marked, when the truth is L am Just a
scant $50"
Senator Hepburn and his bride will go to
Alaska for their wedding trip.

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. but one APP
peal has been made from the work of the
Board of Review in Madison county. The
American Glass Company has notified the
officials that it has taken an appeal from
the assessment of the window glass blowing
machines. This was one of the most diff
cult matters to be determined by the Mad
ison county officials. They visited Alexan-
dria and inspected the machines. Their as
sessment was $500 each. and four machines
are installed in the factory at Alexandria.
The members Of the tax board determined
upon that valuation after taking into con-
sideration the work they would do and the
number OF men each would displace. The
machines arc to be installed I'm the other
plants of the American Company. The Of
ficers of the American Company would not
place what they regarded as a fair valua-
ton on the machines. but held that they
should be assessed merely as machinery and
not in relation TO their output.

applies very strongly to Madison county
and is calculated TO create a change in the
manner OF keeping the local prisoners and
their pay. An investigation of the records
show that the County Commissioners pay
an average of 500 a month for the keeping
of prisoners and a large portion of the in
mates of the county Jail are placed there
by the police. Anderson has no place for
her prisoners and may be called upon to
pay her share of the expense. Alexandria
and Elwood and other cities of the county
are protesting TO the commissioners, asking
that an adjustment be had at the earliest
possible moment. Anderson has no place
for the retention of persons till regular COM
mitment to Jail is made by an authorized Of
ficer. The outside taxpayers are opposed to
boarding Anderson's prisoners out of the
general fund.
