It is apparent now, that in many
states Roosevelt's great majorltles
were not altogether because democrats
voted for him, but because thousands
and thousands of democrats did not
vote. In Illinois Parker's vote is ITO, :
600 less than Bryan's In 1900, and
Roosevelt's only $4,000 more than
McKiniey's. In Iowa, Missouri and
Indiana the total vote ia less than
four years ago, and the same condi-
tiops prevailed. The meaning OF this
evidently IL THAT many democrats, not
vishinq to vote for Roosevelt, did not
vote for Parker either.

Walter Dynes, formerly of Cen

of the indianapolis postoffice. Mr..
Dynes has been in The postoffice at

one of the Ohio applicants has the

Congressman Watson had such
spirited contest for the postoffice
appointments as here, though there
is some rivalry at Rushville, his
home city. Homer Havens, the
present postmaster, has a big petit

professional men praying for his
re-appointment. Ben L. McF ar
land, former sheriff and ex-county
chairman, is also candidate.
Charles A. Frazee, also a former
county chairman, is also consider
ed a candidate. All three men are
close friends of Mr.. Watson, and he
will have to choose one Of them.
At Newcastle, however, the con-
gresham will have smooth sailing.
James H. Jones, the present post
master, will, it is generally conced-
ed. be re-appointed, and there is no
other applicant for the place. Mr..
Jones is Watson's right hand man
in this county, and he will get the
office again on merit and for faith
full service.

CHRISTMAS
DRUNKS
WE'RE MANY IN NUMBER BE-
FORE HIS HONOR
SHERIFF SMITHS B0ARDERS
The Charges Vary in Character and
the Fines in Amounts-Some
Drew Long Sentences.

Police court presented very busy
scene yesterday morning. A number
Of persons were up before Mayor
Zimmerman for indulging in too
much liquor on Christmas eve and
Christmas day and a number of 9TH
ers had been led into fights on ac-
count Of the liquor.
John Lipscomb received a larger
sentence than any one else as he got
siXty-four days as the guest of
Sheriff Smith. Lipscomb was arrest
ed on the charge of assault on boy
by the name of Lane, but this charge
was dismissed against him. He
thought he was getting off very easy
until the mayor brought him up on
a, charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons and he was fined $25 and costs
and given 80 days in Jail, which with
the fine he was unable to pay
amounted to sixty-four days.
Tell Eckman, Lester Parker and
Dennis and Samuel Gibson, the four
men who attempted to break up the
dance in South Second street on
Saturday night, were all fined ST
and costs. One of them had enough
money to- pay his fine and the 9th
ers had to go to Jail.
On Sunday Charles Skillens and
Willis Hatchett tried to wipe up a
small part Of the earth with Lacey
McConlouge, the proprietor Of a col
ored barber shop in South Sixth
street. The two did not do their
work quite well enough as Lacey was
able to tell the story and both of
the men were arrested. 1t cost each
of them 81 and costs in police court
for assault and battery. They were
unable to pay their fines and both
of them went to Jail.
John Donlin was up before the
mayor on the charge Of drunk and
was given a fine Of 81 and costs. He
will lay it out with Sheriff Smith s
large family for about ten days
Donlin was found at the Fifth street
M. E. church in a PROSTATE condi-
ton by Patrolman Westenberg.
William Englebert made one of
his regular visits before the mayor
on the charge of drunkenness. II
appeared by the evidence brought
out that Englebert had been shovel
ing coal at the brewery since he was
in the jail the last time and the may
or thought that it was too much of a
temptation for him and he was sent
to jail for ten days. He has an un-
usual amount of privileges at the
jail and he has always lived within
his privileges during his past visits
to the domicile of Sheriff Smith.

OLDEST WOMAN
DIED AT HER HOME IN HAG
ERSTOWN
GRANDMOTHER OF J.M.L0kTz
Lived in Wayne County Nearly
= Three-Quarters of a Century
Well Known.
GRANDMOTHER OF J.M.LOkTz

Mrs. Esther Lontz, Of Hagerstown
died at her home in that city on Sun
day evening. Mrs. Lontz was nine
ty-seven years of age and had lived
IN Wayne county for over seventy
years and was perhaps the oldest
woman in the county. Despite her
age Mrs. Lontz, until a few months
ago was in very good health, despite
her age, and at the age of ninety
seven years she was able to sew and
read without the aid of glasses,
something which is accomplished by
Few people many years her junior.
a few days ago she suffered an at
tack of the grip and this was the
immediate cause of her death. There
is perhaps few in the western part
Of Wayne county who had a larger
acquaintance or were held in higher
esteem than was Mrs. Lontz. The
dildren who survive her are Mrs.
Margaret Lontz, mother of John NJ.
Eontz. of Richmond; Mrs Eli Keith,
Mrs. Amanda Gebhart, Miss Sarah
Lontz and John Lontz, of Hagers-
town.
The funeral will be held in Ha-
gerstown tomorrow.
- Mrs. Lontz- was born in North
Carolina, near Ashville. Her par
ents were Michael Ritter and Bar
bara Byerly, who ninety-two years
ago emigrated to Ohio. At the age
of twenty-one, Esther Ritter was
married to Samuel Lontz. They
came to Indiana, where they pur-
chased farm of 220 acres two miles
southeast of Hagerstown. But little
of the forest had been removed from
this land. An apple orchad had been
planted by the previous owner; a
small piece had been cleared for
wheat and one for We, and a good
sized spot prepared for the cultiva-
ton of vegetables for family use
The woods yielded plentiful supply
of game such as turkeys, deer and
squirrels.
For fifteen years Mrs. Lontz pre-
pared the meals at an old fashioned
fireplace, and many a large com
pany invited to her home tested the
good qualities of her excellent cook
ing. Rye was the principal bread
stuff during the early years on the
farm, and apple turn-overs, baked
on the hearth furnished delicious
desert. Coffee was considered a lux
ury, and 80 cents a pound prevented
its daily use.
After fifteen years of baking, boil
ing and broiling at the old fireplace,
a cook stove was purchased. Mr..
Lontz purchased the utensils in Ha-
eerstown, and paid for it with twen-
ty cords of wood The occasion of
the arrival of the cook stove was one
Of rejoicing, and it was honored by
the giving of a fine turkey dinner.
Mrs. Lontz in speaking of this,
some time ago, said the new mode
of cooking did not increase the fine
flavor of the vivands, but was a con-
venient improvement over the old
method. Mrs. Lontz had in her
home her first bureau, which was
purchased by her when a girl.
During her girlhood, Mrs Lontz
had the privilege of but three
months schooling during the year
She often recalled the first sentence
she learned to read. which was. ''No
man may put off the law of God. .
Mr.. and Mrs. Lontz retired from the
farm and went TO Hagerstown TWEEN
