HEALING'TH SORES.
1t was apparent that some loaven-
ing power was at work to lessen the
breach between the governors party
in the administration and the mall
contents who are making it little less
than impossible to put any kind of
legislation through, Then, too, it is
desired by many to heal the sores
that have existed since the last
gubernatorial campai IN, so as to per-
init Governor-elect William M. o.
Dawson to walk into the executive
chair with republicans at peace all
around him.
Whethee still other agencies, as
asserted, are at work the development
on their face make 1t difficult to
fathom. There are assumed wise
ones winking about hotel corridorss.
Senators say they are glad it is turn
ing out as il is, Chairman o. s.
Marshall of the Investigating COM
mittee stated after adjournment that
the ma tier mas not reached a con-
clusion Anybody who knows any
thing affecting the honesty of any
member of tbs senate or OF Governor
White will be heard. Senator
Marshall is an anti.adminstration
republican.

FROM THHy ATE ARE AN OHIO
SHERIFF AND HIS SON WHO
ARE NOW UNDER AN IN
DiCTMENT.

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 27.-The grand
jury tonight returned indictments
against Sheriff John A. Wright and
his son, Deputy Sheriff Ed O. Wright,
who, it Is claimed. made out alleged
false and fraudulent cost bills for which
the two are indcteed In all there are
IL ind ctments. the two 'ng jointly
indicted in each case.
Two specified offenses in each care
is tho making out and presenting Of
false claims to public officers. Nine
of these indictments are based On the
bills charged by the sheriff for con
veying at one time n ne feeble-minded
youths from Dayton to the Ohio In
stitution at Columbus. The agg- egate
of the bills made out equals that
which would have resulted had they
been taken separately, or s176,0f.
A 50 charge in each case for car
riage hire is singled out as a specific
offense. although the whole bill is
characterized in each instance as a
false and fraudulent clam.
Three of the indictments are based
on three separate COST bills made out
presented and collected I'm the case of
the state against William Reiker, who
was convicted in January last of burg
larry The charges are respectively
$11G, 1854 and $12.3G. All these bills
were paid. Ii is sad that the sheriff
instead of making the trip and per
sonal service, SIMPLY mailed these
wrts by special letter and charged
for mileage as If the actual trip had
been made. The crime, If any has been
committed, Is that of extortion. The
indictment Is based ON Sect on 6909
of the Revised Statutes of Ohio. which
attaches penalty Of fine of not
more than 5000 or imprisonment of
not more than 20 days. An officer
convicted uader this section forfeits
his office and, in addition. Is debarfed
from public office for seven years. 4.
The grand jury was composed of
thirteen republicans and two demo-
Gratis. Sheriff Wright is republican
and Is now serving his second term.
