SIX CASES GO BY BOARD
That Many Supposed Jointists Ar,
Accordingly Happy.

City Attorney Spencer has dismissed
six liquor cases in the district court
which were appealed from the police
court.
The, arrests in all the cases were
made "on view" of the officers. The
view of the officers does not seem to
come within the law for in the case of
Mat Peak. tender of the bar at the
Copeland hotel joint, the case was ia
ken away from the jury by Judge
Hazen. Two policemen went to Peak
joint and bought beer and paid for it.
They went out and returned in FIVE
minutes and ordered two more glasses
and offered money in payment Peak
refused to take the money. The officers
arrested him. The arrest was made on
the view the officers had during the
second visit and Judge Hazen held that
Peak did not commit any guilty act
during that second visit.
Mr.. Spencer decided that the officers
view would have to materially
strengthen before the other six cases.
weaker than the Peak case would
stand in the district court.

Indianapolis Journal: 1t is amusing
70 hear talk of a decline of Parker
sentiment in Indiana. There never was
any Parker sentiment among the Dem
ocrats of Indiana Outside of Thomas
Taggart and a few of his encourage
who tied up to the Parker movement
for reasons of their own the Democrats
of Indiana never heard of Parker until
a few weeks ago, and they know notn-
ing about him now further than that
he is New York judge, pushed to the
front by Belmont and a few other New
York financiers-much the same crowd
that took up Cleveland and pushed him
forward some twenty years ago. The
personality of Parker means nothing
whatever to the rank and file of In
diana Democrats, and the Indiana in
struetions were not based on Parker
sentiment"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

IT TONI INC NV LUX IeSs-I
A girl can be fooled by almost any man
that she wants to fool her.
When a girl is interested in a married
woman it is a sign they are interested
in man.
When a mans suit is favored by a girls
mother it is a sign he isn't getting along
so well with the girl
It's mighty queer how girl will carry
on when a miller is flying around the gas
jet and sit perfectly still while a mos
quito is chewing down the middle of her
back.
There is hardly anything that can make
a woman prouder of her husband than to
have him repair his moving machine him
self to save . cents and break something
in II that costs g to replace.
