Followers of Jefferson Desire
To Hold Gathering Before
Republicans So They May
Adopt Temperance Platform
KUHN OPPOSED AS GUBER-
NATORIAL CANDIDATE.
Asserted Taggart Machine Is
Whetting Its Knife for the
Skin of the Preacher PoIiti-
CiaI-RaIston Is Choice.

Indianapolis, Jan. PA call has
a meeting of the democratic state
committee at the Grand hotel. Jan.
80, at l a. m, at which time the dates
for holding the state convention will
be fixed.
Chairman Jackson had conference
with Thomas Taggart and other lead
ers, and it is supposed that they de-
cided to call the state committee to-
gether Jan. 80. 1t was rumOred that
they have determined on Il very early
state convention and that they may
fix a date ahead of the republicans,
who will nominate their ticket on
April >. 1t is thought that their plan
may be to hold the convention ahead
of the republicans for the purpose OF
| beating them to the temperance issue,
which the republicans claim as their
very own"
Temperance is regarded as the par
amount issue. and the democrats will
have to follow the republicans unless
they hold their convention first. 1t
was intimated however, that some OF
Taggart's followers, who desire his re
| election as National committeeman
are determined to hold the state con
vention as early as possible. as the
dele gates to it name the delegates tc
the national convention. and the dele
gates to the latter elect the National
| Committeeman. Taggart's enemies
| have manifested a determination tC
defeat him for National committee
man and it is thought by his follow
ers that an early state convention viii
be to his advantage, as his opponents
will not have so much time to go out
and organize against him.
1t was said further that the Taggar1
contingent has selected Samuel Rails
ton, OF Lebanon. as its candidate fol
the nomination for governor, and tha
it desires 70 hold the state convention
as soon as possible, in the hope o
nominating him before the other can
didates can get under way

Young Lad Intended to Pre-

G.. crested.
SHERMAN DAVIS RETURNED

Young Sherman Davis, a parOled in
mate of the Plaintield reform school,
arrested this week for sending obscene
postal cards to Young girls, will be re
turned to that institution this even
ing. The only reason sherman has for
not wanting TO be returned to the re
form school is the fact that he must
leave his sweetheart.
When the boy was arrested he mad
a box filled with about ten pounds of
candy which was colored every hue
in the rainbow. This candy, Davis
was going to take to the home of his
loved one. Yesterday the lad decided
that he could get more benefit out Of
the candy than the girl could. SO he
asked PatrOlman NOgelsong TO bring
it TO him. IF that kid eats all of that
stuff he will go to the cemetery in
stead OF the reform school grumbled
the officer AS he took it back to the
hungry boy.
When the police inspected the box
they found reposine on top of the
candy note in which Davis assured
the object of his affections that he
loved her above ali other women in
the world. He craved her love in re.
turn and asked that she remain al
ways true to him. "Goodbye darling
sweetheart" the note concluded.

Or. J. E. Weller, Who Has In
vestigated Wayne County
Dairy Conditions Makes
Some Startling Charges.
STABLES ARE DARK AND
POORLY VENTILATED.
The Dirt Surrounding the Milk
ing Process Is Anything
But Conducive to Cleanli-
neSS-Education Needed.

'Milkmen think that cleanliness
about dairy is unnecessary as it i'm
poses more work and expense upon
them. and they argue from the stand
point that they always have done as
they are doing now. that they haven't
killed anybody yet with their milk"
states DR.. J. f. Weller, who recently
inspected some of the dairies in Wayne
county.
DR.. Weller has prepared an article of
educative character on the important
subject of pure milk. Other members
OF the Wayne County Medical society
are preparing articles of similar ma
ture These treatises will be used
as a powerful weapon in the crusade
the society has determined TO make in
the interest of pure milk. Many inter
esting statements are made in Dr.
Weller's article.
At the dairies visited he found they
were dark, with low ceilings. poorly
ventilated and unwhitewashed, hous-
ing anywhere from twenty-five to one
hundred cows. There were no cement
floors and the bedding in the stalls
was something which at one time
might have been corn fodder. DR..
Weller found the food given to the
cows was, on the whole. sufficient To-
produce good quality of milk from a
healthy COW.
! In the process OF milking he found
that no effort was made to clean the
udders or TO scrape the filth from the
! lilies of the cows.
Dirty hands of the mixers: dirty
! bellies, udders and flanks OF the cows
and a large pail to draw the milk in
and catch anything that happens to
drop in. are not conditions conducive
to clean milk" is a comment made by
DR.. Weller. He also states that the
dairymen know and admit they furn.
| ish unclean milk.
In conclusion ne states. Public sen
! timent is hard to arouse and consider.
able education would be necessary 10
create a demand for pure milk. But
the public can be educated to demand
clean milk. and then by educating the
dairymen as to how TO produce clean
milk, soliciting his cooperation rather
than his antagonism, clean milk sup
ply might be obtained for this city

She Apparently Thought Her.
bert Williams Would Make a
Good Husband for His Own
Aunt and Aided Match.
HERE AND
GIVEN SMALL FINES.
Frank Williams, Candidate for
Sheriff in AugIaize County,
O., Took Back Erring Wife
To "Start Life Anew"

One of the StrangeSt of the many
strange sights seen at the city court,
was Witnessed yesterday afternoon.
Herbert Williams, aged - years, faced
Judge Converse on charge of having
run away with his aunt, Mrs. Frank
Williams. about 10 years. In one cor
ner of the court room stood Frank
Williams, watching his nephew, with
tears in his eyes. Sobbing bitterly
Mrs. Williams sat in the judges pri-
yate office All the principals in the
case live at St. Mary's, Auglaise coun-
ty. Ohio.
Prosecutor Jessup stated to the
court that there were charges OF adul-
terry against Herbert Williams and
Mrs. Frank Williams. He said that
there were extenuating circumstances
in the case and that he would advise
! the court to be lenient with the ac.
cused After hearing the strange
story from the prosecutor and Attor-
ney W. II. Kelley, representing Mrs
Frank Williams, the court fined young
Herbert and his aunt each ten dollars
and costs. Frank Williams paid the
| fine against his wife then took her
from police headquarters to the Penn
sylvania station. They have return
ed to st. Maryss TO begin life over
| again" as Williams put it. AS he left
the court room Prosecutor Jessup re
marked There goes a man" Every
one agreed with him.
The story Of the domestic troubles
, in the Williams home is a most pecu
liar one. Herbert Williams and his
mother lived wit Jr. and Mrs. Frank
| Williams. She took a fancy to the
young man and he, encouraged by his
mother, returned the attentions Of his
aunt. Mrs. Williams labored under
the belief that she was most badly
treated by her husband. and young
Herbert encouraged her in this. Final
| ly aunt and nephew decided to rur
away. The boys mother assisted then
to do this. First Williams and hi:
aunt went to Portland, Ind, then the,
| lloNCu w Woul W HOuSS
keeping on North Twelfth street.
| Thursday Frank Williams. who is
prominent resident of St. Mary's and ;
candidate for sheriff of Auglaiz'
county, came to Richmond. having
heard that his nephew and his runa
way wife were living here.
When Williams located them h,
went to Prosecutor Jessup and related
to him the circumstances of the case
Il don't care what you do with them
l will never live with her again" h
stated. Yesterday morning William
returned to the office of the prosecut
or and stated that after thinking care
fully on the matter he had desided t,
take his wife back with him to ST
Mary's and help her to live down tn
past. She Is my wife, and when
married her l took her for better o
for worse l never treated her as goo
as l might have done" Williams stat
ed. He then paid up all the debts tn
runaways had contracted here and en-
gagged an attorney to defend her of tn
charged filed by the prosecutoA TIL
meeting between Williams and his wifi
wGs a most pathetic one.
