ing Bottles For Each New
Infant.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3.-When
the newly elected town board of Dub
lin (near Richmond) was indicted
into Office at noon Monday. the first
official action taken was a stand
against race suicide
After the new members of the
board had taken the oath of Office a
large delegation of citizens, headed
by DR.. c. E. Mckee. presented a long
petition to the new board, and as a
result the following resolution was
adopted:
THAT anti-race suicide be advocat-
ed and that every member OF the
town board pledge himself 10 buy a
pair of trousers for every boy baby
or a dress for every girl baby born
in the village within twelve months
also that nursing bottle be given
in addition to each of every pair OF
twins born in the aforesaid twelve
months"

The United States senator's race
is run, and it turned out just as any
sensible person could have figured
IL weeks ago. About the only thing
IL eXemplifies is that when a man has
been in public Office twenty-five or
thirty years and can show nothing of
unusual significance that he has done
during that time, he should be ready
to step down and out. Another thing
that stands out in bold relief is that
any man who hopes for a political
future must be part of the machine.
The man who fights his party organ
ization usually does so to his sorrow

The Frankfort State Journal, flush

win on the first ballot, gives this
parting shot at its enemies: 1.-The
course of the Courier-Journal and
Times in the contests that are now
about ended has been most reprehen-
sible and unworthy of any but yell
low journals. They have knowingly
and purposely deceived their readers,
and have made themselves the laugh

pected anything better of Urey's lit
tie papers, but for those that claim
to be newspapers. the Courier-Jour-
nay, and Times. have forfeited any

In his message TO the legislature
Gov. Beckham reviewed the various

tanned in various state institutions.
The state is practically out of debt.
"a net amount of s1,250,000 result

the state debt of $1,000, 900 before It

The decision of Eastern railroads
not to issue free passes is likely to
prove costly one to them. The is
sue of passes is in vast majority
OF cases a simple exchange of courte-
sizes. Very often it is only an evil
dence of friendliness and good feel
ing, and it is very seldom that free
pass goes to any person who is not
wholly able to pay for transportation
and to whom the pass is consequent
ly not of sufficient significance to in
fluence him one way or the other.
The main trouble is that a lot of
people who cannot get passes, or who
are so mean and corrupt themselves
that they imagine that If man ac-
cepts a pass it is from the same mo
tives and with the same results that
men of their own ilk and character
would do it, raised big howl over it,
and the railroads have become fright
ened, and are led into the mistake
of cutting off their friends because
OF the croaking of their enemies.

MANY HUNTERS KILLED.
Seventy-Four Fatalities in Woods
Throughout the Country.

CHICAGO, Dec. Seventy-iour
deaths and seventy persons injured,
some of them so seriously that death
may result, is the record of fatalities
for the hunting season throughout
the country.
Northern Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, where the open season for deer
closed yesterday, went ahead of the
record for last year in death, twen-
ty-eight being reported this season,
against twenty-siX for the previous
one, but, in the number of persons
injured, this years record falls far
below that of the previous one, hav-
ing only twenty serious accidents
which did not result in death.
The larger part of the deaths were
the result of accidental discharge of
shotguns, many of them occurring
while the owners were cleaning the
weapons. In many cases the vic
tins were children.
Many of the deaths were those of
! boys who were hunting, and miStak-
en- for deer is the reason accounted
| for a large number of others.
Michigan leads the list in the
number of dead and injured, with
Wisconsin close second, the for
mer having fifteen deaths and the
latter thirteen.
Illinois has q total OF eight deaths
