KETCHUM DISCARDED
BECAUSE REPUBLICAN
Politics, 1t Is Said, Is to Blame for
viota County's Loss Of One Of
Her Best townships

and Of the people resident in the
township.
Mr.. Connor says that the boundary
between the Grove and Miami coun-
ties will be on the section lire just
south Of Alton, entirely eliminating
that town from any chance to secure
county seat. He says further that it
is the present intention for the con-
vention to declare which towns shall
be temporary county seats, and to
make constitutional provision that
the county seats may be changed only
by two-thirds vote, This will make
it practically impossible ever to change
the county seats as selected by the
convention.

0. L. Connor returned last night
from Guthrie, where he has been
watching the work of the convention
for several days. Mr.. Connor has but
a low estimate Of the craftsmanship
and incorruptibility Of the members.
He says money Is being poured out IN
the effort to locate the boundaries,
and that each delegate is engaged
strictly in looking after first, his own
interests, and secondly, the interests
Of his community.
According to Mr.. Connor township
will be cut from both the southwest
and southeast corners Of Vinita's
county, the Ketchum township being
the one to be sacrificed in the south
east. Ketchum has heavy Republi-
can majority. 1t belongs to Vinita,
being only few miles distant. VIII.
Kornegay didn't want it added to
Vinita however, it is stated, because
Of the Republican majority.
Neither did Grove county want it,
for the same reason. So it is now
planned to attach it to Pryor Creek,
tho to go to Pryor Creek the farmers
will be obliged to come to Vinita to
take the train. 1t is entirely cut off
from the rest Of Pryor Creek county,
and will be an outrageous gerry
mander, If carried out as we'll as a
stab at the best interests Of Vinita

which will be Of great value in the
event Mr.. Phillips recommends plan

by which a supply of water can be Sc
cured in that direction, especially
would this be true in case the city
should adopt his report as basis for
the expenditure of any considerable
sum OF money.
Both Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Hyssong
are naturally very reticent at present
in relation to their trip. about the only
thing they are willing TO divulge is
that they had a most agreeable time
and that their Investigations were
quite as gratifying as they had an

with the scenery afforded by the CONT

that no man could make such jour

was announced today that Mayor

had all the railroad tracks in the
city secretly measured for the pur-
pose of learning whether the track
mileage reported by the various rail
roads was correct 1t is stated that
the investigation made by the mayor
revealed the fact that the reports
have been "doctored" and that the
railroads owe the city in taxes about
100000 On the same ratio the rail
roads operating in Indiana would
owe the state over one million dol
lars in taxes. 1t is probable that the
State Railroad Commission will make
a thorough investigation of Mayor
Bookwalter's charges and the results
of this investigation proimse to be
of a sensational nature.

surprisingly encouraging for the

pendent of the ballots that have
been sent to the Hon. Richard Olney.

view of the desperate activities of
the companies and their paid employ

wise at this time for us to disclose
the number of ballots held by Mr.. Oh

held by the various members of the

try, such as Judge Gray. General Ira

Judge Fox lnterprets the Law
in Case of Edith Wilt, of
Winchester.
WAS REFUSED BY CLERK
CHILD APPEALED TO JUDGE FOX
AS STATUTE ALLOWED HER
AND HE MADE NEGATIVE RU-
LING ON QUESTION.

Judge Henry c. Fox, of the Wayne
Circuit Court, Saturday afternoon
handed down a decision that will un-
doubtedly put disquieting damper
on the marriage aspirations OF girls
under 16 years of age. Those damsels
who have the misfortune to want to
get married and are under that age
can not, under any conditions do SO.
Even the sanction of their parents
will not make it possible for them to
get licenses. This decision on the
part of the Judge, which is in accord
with the statutes, arose under the
new law passed by the last Legisla-
ture which provides that in such
cases when the County Clerk refused
a license TO the petitioning parties,
those persons may appeal to the
court. Judge Fox communicated with
neigh ing Ohio county seats in this
relation and found that the same law
is rigidly observed in that state
The question arose from the APP
plication for marriage license made
by John Russell Mcdonald, of Hol-
landsburg, o., aged 10 years. and
Edith Wilt. aged Ia years, of Winches
ter County Clerk Haas refused them
and they sought recourse by appeal
to the Judge of the Circuit Court,
who responded in the negative. 1t is
the first case that has arisen in this
county and SO far as can be learned
in the state.

The pit of the theatre was crowded

Evangelist Elliott took for his text

passage from st. John, 3-16,: For
God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotton son that whatsoever
believeth in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life The Doc
tor in his introduction made it plain
that he was taking up a text which no
minister of the gospel had ever thor
oughly covered in any one or SER
ies of sermons. He told of one ia
nous minister who had preached
seven conservative sermons on this
one text and had then stated that
there was still more that could have
and could be preached from it.
