DAviEsS SAFELY "DRY."

Washington. Ind, Feb. 24-The op-
ton election here resulted in a COM
plete rout of the vets" the county
giving the "drys" n majority of l.
357. The "drys" carried every town
ship in the county and twenty-six out
of thirty-four precincts. The dry
majorities by townships follows:
Madison. a72: Gilmore. 1872: Harri-
son.. 30; Bogard. IS; Van Buren,. "a:
Reeve. rs; Steele. 222: Veaie, 81:
Barr. IS: Washington, 1876.
1t had been conceded that the
"wets" would carry Barr and Wash
ington townships and the result
shows that the "drys" had a greater
force than had been. anticipated.
Charges are freely made that more
than $1,000 was used by the saloon
forces. the money being in part put
up by the brewers with agencies here.
with the understanding that if the
county voted dry" the money was
to be returned.

STEAM LOCOMOTIVE.

Transportation COmpany's Engine
Chips Yakima Avenues Brick and
Council Will Investigate.

When the city put in its fine brick
paving on Yakima avenue last year,
it did not make allowance for run
ming steam locomotives through the
streets. Now it is found that the paw
ing which blocks in the tracks of the
Yakima Valley Transportation COM
pany is being badly Clipped and
smashed and this condition is charged
to the steam locomotive which is run
on Yakima avenue every night haul
ing rails and ties to the extension of
the Transportation company's line
west of the city.
This condition of the pavement will
furnish discussion at the next meeting
of the city council, next Monday night.
City Engineer Doolittle has made an
inspection of the pavement along the
street car tracks and does not like the
looks of it. What can be done to re-
pair the pavement or to put an end
to further damage of the kind will
be settled by the council Monday
night

PANAMA CASE
IS DISMISSED
BY FEDERAL JUDGE ANDERSON
Delaven' Smith and Charles r.. Will
hanson Will Not BE Taken to
WashintOn for Trial.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-Federal
Judge Anderson today dismissed the
proceedings against Delavan Smith and
Charles r. Williams, proprietors of
the Indianapolis News, who are resist
ing removal to the District of Column
bia for trial under the grand jury
indictment charging them with crimi-
nal libel in publishing articles alleging
there was a corrupt profit Of $2S,00O,-
600 in the sale of the Panama canal
to the United States.
Judge Anderson declared that it was
a cause for apprehension when an at
tempt is made to drag men from their
homes to the seat of government for
trial under the circumstances of this
case. He went on to say that there
were many peculiar circumstances
about the whole Panama business. 1t
was a matter of great public concern,
a portion of the people favoring one
route and another favoring the other.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the routes first reported in favor
of the Nicaraguan and shortly after
wards changed to the Panama.
UP to the time of that change the
Judge says as he gathers from the evil
dence, the lowest figures set for the
Panama property was something over
500, 100000. Then rather suddenly it
became known that it could be pro-
cured for $4O,000,000. There were a
number of people who thought there
was something wrong. committee

INDIANS ARE INCREASING.
Last Two Decades Add 10000 Il
Their Number

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE pop
ular idea that the American Indians
are decreasing in number is dissipated
by official figures showing today that
there are more than 10000 red men
in the United States The increase in
population of about 10000 during the
last two decades is attributed to the
governments constant effort to uplift
the Indian to the level of contempo-
rary civilization. Three and one-half
million dollars is being expended by
the United States annually for the
education of more than 10000 Indian
boys and girls
Public men whose work has
brought them into close touch with
the Indians are impressed with the
view that the race is progressing so
rapidly that eventually the govern
ment will lift it's guardianship over
them.

NEW YORK MERCHANTS
FIGHT SPOKANE CASE
Effort Made by New York Chamber
of Commerce to Prevent
Hearing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New
York Chamber of Commerce today
instructed it's officers to intervene in
the proceedings before the Interstate
Commerce Commission which is con-
sidering the so-called Spokane case"
effecting rates of transportation
throughout the country. The propos-
ed adjustment of rates would tend to
deprive the Atlantic seaports of their
natural advantages, draw from the At
lantic seaboard the origin of manu-
featuring and distributing merchan-
disc and concentrate such business in
cities of the Mississippi valley. and
amounts to a discrimination against
the east in favor of the west in the
opinion of the Chamb Der of Commerce.
