Mr.. Fairbanks located In IndinnaI,. >.
lis for the practice Of law in 1874.
Ills early professional career was
much the same as that Of the average
young lawyer. He and his young wife
began life In boarding house. As his
practice grew they furnished modest
home and later moved into one more
pretentious. Their present home, into
which they moved about three years
ago. is located at 1922 North Meridian
street. Indianapolis. on one of the hand.

Senator Fairbanks entry as posi-
tive force in Republican national poll
tics r;ay be said to date from the st.
Louis Republican convention of 1896
and the events leading up to 1t. He
and Major Mckinley had been friends
of many years standing. Both were
Ohio born, both ardent members of the
Methodist Episcopal church and in ex-
act accord in their political views. NJ.
Fairbanks had many clients in Ohio
ana knew the state. and Its Republican
leaders and traditions appealed to him.
1t was natural, therefore. that Mr
Fairbanks should attach himself to the
fortunes of Major Mckinley in the pre-.
liminary organization leading up to tie
campaign Of 1896.
He took charge Of the work In In
diana and was influential in organizing
the state and in committing the Re
publican party in Indiana to the geld
standard. He was chosen delegate
Mt large to the st. Louis convention
and soon afterward it was announce.
that Major Mckinley, whose nomina-
tion was then foregone conclusion,
had invited Mr.. Fairbanks to be tenn
porary chairman of the convention.
His speech as temporary chairman at
tracted wide attention. In January
1897. Mr.. Fairbanks was nominated Ior
United States senator on the first ballot
over field of strong candidates.
Mr.. Fairbanks at once took bigh
rank in the senate. He entered active
ly into the work of the extra session
which passed the Dingley tariff bill
and was equally prominent in the work
of financial legislation which followed.
In the agitation which preceded the
declaration Of war with Spain Senator
Fairbanks was one of President Nc
kln!ey's chief advisers, as he was dur
ing the peace negotiations which
closed that war. He was at one time
invited by President Mckinley to join
his cabinet and was appointed by him
a member Of the joint high commission
to settle the Alaska boundary question.
Senator Fairbanks was a delegate at
large to. the Philadelphia convention Of
1900 and was chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions which reported the
platform.
He was reelected to the senate in
1903 by the Joint assembly of the In.
diana Legislature with the largest ma,
jority ever given to Republican call
didate for United States senator in the
history of the state.

but before reaching manhood emigrat-
ed to Massachusetts. At Ware he
learned the wagon makers trade, and
when he emigrated from Massachu-
sets to Union county. O., it was to set
up In the wagon making business and
farming.
The senator's mother, Mary Adelaide
Fairbanks, came Of the Smiths of Co.
lumbia county. N. Y. They were early
emigrants to Ohio Her brother, the
late William Henry Smith. founded the

Senator Fairbanks earliest recol-
lections date from the log cabin in
which he was born, on May II. 1852.
and which stood on the edge of farm
of 216 acres In Union county. o. This
log house was the scene Of the first
and only tragedy Of his life and came
near ending him at the age of four.
Workmen were engaged in building a
new frame house and were occupying
the old log house as Workshop. The
place was filed with shavings, and the
future senator strayed into the build
ing in the absence Of the workmen. and
while replenishing the fire in the stove
he ignited the shavings on the floor.
The flames cut OF his retreat, and
when he dashed through them to the
door the latch was beyond his reach.
With thoughtfulness extraordinary in
one of his age. he seized board from
carpenters table. braced 1t against
the wall, and, mounting 1t. raised the
latch. pulled open the door and es-
capped in the nick of time.
The senator's boyhood life was such
as fell to the average farmer boy. He
was early taught the value of indus
try and frugallty. He worked on the
farm and attended the country schools
during the brief terms until he reached
the age Of fifteen, when he went to the
Ohio Wesleyan college at Delaware,
o., few miles away.
The career Of young Fairbanks at
college was distinguished for sincere
and diligent application to his studies
and for self denial and self reliance.
He and a fellow student Of equally
meager means shared room and did
their own cooking. He won and has
since held the respect and confidence
of classmates and faculty. 1t was as
a student there that he met Miss Cor
nelia Cole, daughter Of Judge Cole Of
Marysville, y. They were coeditors Of
the college paper. The friendship thus
formed ripened into love, and as soon
as Mr.. Fairbanks had graduated from
college and prepared himself for his
profession they were married.
On leaving college young Fairbanks
went to Pittsburg, where for time he
acted as agent Of the Associated Press.
After remaining in Pittsburg for a
year or more, during which he applied
himself assiduously to the study Of
law, he went to Cleveland, completed
his studies and was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court Of that state
after attending term at the Cleve-
land Law school

In the sheriffs office Pollard showed

as if to jump at the officers. In an in

him by the shoulders and forced him
back into his seat. Deputy Sheriff
Fennell clicked on the handouts in

get even with you yet. I'll kin some
body for this. " Then he called down
maledictions on every official of the

Work Along Similar Lines.
Just the scope of the duties to be dis
charged by the new first vice president
of the Central of Georgia. Col. A. R.
Lawton. was a matter of considerable
discussion yesterday.
Few persons were aware that Col.
Lawton had done so much for the COM
pany in his capacity as a member of

the strictly legal work.
AS intimated yesterday, the duties of
Col. Lawton will be very much the
same as heretofore, except there will be
more. Much of the executive work Of
Col. Lawton needed the approval of
President J. F. Hanson to make it
binding, while as an official of the
road next in authority to the president,
he can initiate and carry through his
plans.
Col. LawtoT has been connected with
the legal department of the Central of
Georgia for twenty-four years, his
father having been general counsel of
the company for many years
My duties will be along the same
lines as heretofore said Col. Lawton
yesterday, except that there will be
more of them. The principal change
will be found in the clause in the or
der which makes the first vice presi-
dent an assistant to the president in
executive matters.
The holding of the office will make
absolutely no change in my legal bust
ness, and I will be in my office as usual,
ready to attend to such legal matters
as the public may see fit to entrust
