were made as to the amount Of wheat
sold to exporters today. some claiming
as high as so loads. The northwest

of the highest prices.

and distinguished citizen, is gradually
and naturally coming to the front in

intelligence and mental poise, he oecu-
pies in the opinion of thoughtful men
who know him, a very elevated place
and possesses those qualifications so
essential in a man placed in the execu-

word that he is in the race he may
be expected to win the nomination and
the election.-South Bend Tribune.

He Is Elected senator from Texas in
Spite of the Fight Against
Him.

Austin, Ten. Jan. % - United
States Senator Bailey was reelected
United States senator from this state
by vote in the two branches of the
state legislature of los to 40. In the
state senate the vote was 10 in favor
of Senator Bailey and 10 against him.
AMI In the lower house Bailey received
50 votes and 35 were cast against him.
The vote in opposition to Bailey rep
resented a scattering vote, cast for
Cecil Lyon, the Republican nominee:
Governor 7. NJ. Campbell, ex-Repre-
sentative A. w. Terrell and other
prominent men of the state. In the
house seven members present did not
vote and two were absent. The op-
ponents of Bailey made an effort In
the house to secure the adoption of a
resolution providing that should the
legislature vote unanimously for the
election of Bailey the latter should
submit his name to the people In spe-
cial primary to be held within the next
thirty days, and that should the result
be adverse TO him he would resign.

church pulpit permanently until the in
vestigation now pending has been con-
cluded.

Another Suggestion.

The suggestion is offered that the
railroad companies be compelled to
carry one empty car on all passenger
trains which shall be placed between
the engine and the cars carrying the
passengers. In the great majority of
wrecks it is the forward car that suf-
fers the greatest damage. 1t is argued
that an extra car behind the engine

been proved that riding directly be-
hind the engine is dangerous. The
suggestion is one that deserves atten-
ton in the consideration of the wreck

ANTI HANGING BILL FAILS.
Four Prisoners at Michigan City Must
Die-Simon and Dvvyer Against Bill.


Indianapolis. Jan. 23.-Representative
Condos bill abolishing capital pun
ishment met its death in the lower
house on Monday very soon after 1T had
passed to second reading. 1t was killed
on the motion of Representative Crav-
ems of the minority side Speeches COW
ering several hours were made in be-
half Of the bill.
The bill made 1t illegal TO inf1ict the
death penalty on murderers in Indiana.
1t was one of the reform measures
urged by Governor Hanly in his mes
sage to the Legislature. 1t was said
the governor hoped to save the lives of
four condemned men now in prison.
The governor has long opposed capital
punishment and Representative Condo.
knowing that he had a strong ally in
his fight against this system OF pun
ishment had felt that his bin had an
excellent show Of becoming a law.
Had the measure passed 1t would
have prevented four murderers now in
prison from going to the gallows. The
first of the quartet to swing will be
George Williams, colored, who killed
Policeman Petticord at Indianapolis.
The date OF his execution is Feb. s.

against the bill.

MAIL CARRIERS PROMISED
ANOTHER SALARY INCREASE
1t Is Now Practically Assured That q
Boost of ss,OO0,oOo VIII BE Made Car
rters Underpaid-

washington. Jan. 23.-Plans are be-
ing rapidly worked out for a substan-
tial increase in the salaries OF rural
letter carriers, city letter carriers, rail-
way mail clerks and postofiice clerks.
The house committee on postofhces and
post roads is giving careful consid-
Grafton TO this matter and, while IT
has not been acted upon finally by the
committee. IT is expected that increases
will be authorized aggregating nearly
5000 600 a year. II has been apparent
for some time that congress at this
session intends to do something for the
rural mail carriers. especially during
the last few days there has been OBJ
served a decided tendency to make the
increase apply generally to employees
in the postal service of the four classes
named.
It can be put down as an established
fact that salaries will be increased SO
as to be more nearly commensurate
with the advanced cost Of living. An
other thing that is aiding greatly In
boosting the salaries of the postal en-
ployes is the action of the house in
voting TO increase the salaries paid to
its own members. Many congressman
feel that 1t is now UP to them TO help
increase the salaries of postal employees,
who are ridIculously underpaid. Other
wise 1t is feared there Will be reac-
ton that will sweep some congressman
into private life.

THE FACT is worthy Of comment
that it required three private citizens
and a detail of police to eject a man
who imagined the Lincoln school was
his castle, from the building, while
the task was accomplished in the lit
tie home across the street by two wo-
men and a little girl. OF course, the
men who did the job at the Lincoln
school had neither brooms nor pokers
and might not have known how to use
the former had they had one. So
