KIeckner Bill Called Up.
While the Tomlinson bill was under
discussion and, while is was being vot-
ed on, the republicans were charging
the democrats with violating their
platform pledge on the liquor question.
They charged that the democrats prom
ised the people ward and township OPP
ton and they asked the democrats why
they were trying to enact a law that
was entirely different The democrats
told them in answer that they would
soon offer them a bill that would be
in strict accordance with the demo-
cratic platform, and as soon as the
Tomlinson bill was out of the way
the speaker handed down the Kleck-
ner bill for passage This bill is a
straight-out repeal of the county OPP
ton law and substitutes the township
and ward units. This bill was put to
T, a vote without discussion, and it
failed to pass. Ratliff was the only
republican that voted for it. and the
result was 4S votes for the bill and 40
against it. 1t requires a constitution
al majority of 81 votes to pass a bill
| in the house, so the bill failed to pass.
It may be called up again. however,
inasmuch as a bill is not killed so long
as the majority of the votes cast were
in favor of its passage.
The same democrats who voted
against the Tomlinson bill voted
against the Kleckner bill.
The question now is, What will the
senate do to the Tominson bill when
it gets to that body for passage?" II
is the general belief that it will strike
out the two amendments that were
put into the bill in the house for the
purpose of saving Steve Flemings sub
urban saloons in Allen county and the
Cook brewery suburban saloons in
Vanderburg county. AS the bill stands
now it is victory for the Fleming
idea, but whether it can get through

Champion Refuses to Fight
Overweight Foe.

Dayton, o., Feb. 1.-THE scheduled
twenty round fight for the feather
weight title between Abe Attell, cham
pion, and Ray Bronson of Indianapolis
here last night was called off because
the latter was four pounds over

to enter the ring. After two hours
wrangling the fighters agreed to night

cause the club refused to pay the

RURAL DELIVERY STARTED.
First Trip on First Route in Panhandle is Made
From Here Last Saturday.

There is a rural free delivery
