always conducted his establishment in
an orderly manner.
Well Conducted.
The local saloons in past years. as
whole, have been especially well
conducted. a fact that, no doubt. con.
tributed largely to the wet victory. The
saloonists' executive committee has
gone on record to the effect that this
condition of affairs is to continue
1t is highly probable that the organ
ization effected by the local saloon
proprietors at the opening of the past
campaign will be continued for the
purpose of seeing that all liquor es-
tablishments maintain good order and
strictly observe the laws governing
their operation. Saloon proprietors
feel that SO long as this is done the
voters of Wayne county viii see no
cause to eliminate them. 1t is under
stood that should any saloon proprie-
tor violate any of he laws he will be
promptly and vigorously disciplined by
the organization.

To Avoid TechnicaIities County
Board Will Wait Until Coun-
ty Council Takes Final Ac-
ton.
DISPUTE IN REGARD
TO ADDITIONAL PAY
As Matter Now Stands 1t Is
Believed That Election OFF,
Gals Claims Are Perfectly
Legal.

The board of county commissioners
at its session yesterday did not pass
on any of the bills presented by Of
ficers serving at the Fridays election.
This was due to two reasons. The
first being that in order to avoid any
techinal entanglements with the law
the county council at its meeting next
Thursday will be called on to reap
propriate funds for the election ex-
pense as we'll as all other funds which
were designated for various purposes
at the special session held in January.
The councils session will cover two
days the ordinance calling for the ap-
propriations to be read the first day
and adopted on the second as is now
required by law. The other reason
the commissioners did not pass on the
claims of the election officers was
due to the fact that there has always
been a question as to just how the law
governing the pay of election officers
should be interpreted.
Statutes Are Not Clear.
The statute simply points out that
the rate shall be 81 day. A majority
of the clerks. judges. sheriff and In
spectors who served at Fridays cleo
tion contend that two days pay should
be allowed for the service on election
day. more than twelve hours being de-
voted to the work in all cases and
in some precincts fourteen hours being
required. The commissioners decided
yesterday that there was some ground
for taking the position that two days
pay should be allowed, and though the
matter rests entirely with them. they
agreed that County Attorney Robbins
should investigate and give the board
his opinion as to the course to be pur-
sued.
Drys Want Money Also.
The men who are demanding addi-
tional pay point out the fact that In
all general elections the officers re-
ceive two days pay for service on
election boards.
AS the matter now rests, it is be-
lieved likely that the afficers have a
good chance to have their claims de-
clared legal. One thing that was in
teresting in a review of the claims
filed yesterday was the fact that with
the exception of two or three cases
none of the dry" election officers
rendered his services to the county
free.
The commissioners had not expected
them to do SO. In fact believed that
the officers on both sides of the liquor
question should be paid. But at the
opening of the campaign some Of the
managers for the temperance forces
made the statement that it was likely
that they would be able to select men
who would agree to give their services.
1t developed however. that a vast ma
jority of the men selected were COM
PEELED to give up other duties to serve
and consequently they felt as lawfully
and justly entitled to compensation as
other officials at the election.

Imported by Tide Water Oil
Company to Lay Pipe Line
In That Section.
TENTED CITY SPRINGS UP
WITH THE TRENCH DlGGERS

AND EoUIPMENT-RENTs HAVE
GONE SOARING.

Hagerstown, Ind. Feb. 6.-The Tide
water Oil company is now in readiness
to lay the pipe for the transportation
of iol through this section of the coun-
try. The company has leased ground
for the period of ten days on the farms
of Dave Hoover, west of town and
Mrs. Minnie Havemeier east of town.
The ground is to be used for the pitch
ing of their tents in which the employ
ees will eat and sleep. etc.
A Carload of Tents.
Already there has arrived a carload
of tents. a carload of horses and four
hundred men, two hundred being
Italians. These men will be used only
for the laying of the pipes and have
nothing whatever to do with the pump
ing station, which is being established
west oft own. A superintendent, a
sub-superintendent, a telegraph oper-
ator and a commissary are among the
most important of the men in the four
hundred. 1t is thought that the work
in this section can be done in ten DAYS,
when they will move their camp on
farther east
Work at the pumping station
grounds is being repidly pushed. Al
though the hours are short. much is
accomplished owing to the great staff
Of men who are given employment.
1t Is a noticeable feature that there
are several men employed in the work
that are doing it for the novelty of the
thing: some that are seeking recreation
in the open air after spending the
greater part of the winter indoors:
still others that are enticed here from
the surrounding towns by the tempt
ing thought OF the good wages offered,
being often more than they can get in
their home towns throughout the win

Short Course Of 1910 have been COM
menced. This morning the executive
met with Prof Christie OF
Purdue and talked over the success
of this years school as well as pros
poets for next year. The last session
of the school was held this morning
with the judging of horses exhibited
for both practical and show purposes
at the live stock pavilion.
That Centerville will be the prob
able place for holding the meeting il
almost assured. There are, however.
other places making bids for the
school. including Cambridge City.
Richmond and Connersville However
Centerville possesses several advant-
ages not to be found in the other
places. 1t is easily accessible to all
parts of the county and district An
other advantage and a strong one is
that there are few other diverting
influences in the place. Cambridge
City. Richmond and Connersville all
possess better hotel accommodation
and possibly better meeting places.

next year will be the same as this

Was Financial Success.
Financially the school was as sue
cessful as could be expected. All bills
have not been presented. but the
school organization will be able to
meet them. The expenses were quite
heavy. There were 524 students TO
enroll in the course including those
in the Domestic Science department.
In the latter subject there were zoo
pupils. The work in this course was
very satisfactory and instructive
This subject promises to be the out

coming schools. The women were
somewhat Handicapped with limited
equipment and the time had to be TAX

Attendance irregular.
The 324 persons enrolled in the corn
section and the animal husbandry de-
partment, including a few women did
not attend regularly. However the reg
istration showed that practically all
were in attendance at least one day
and no complaints were made to the
officials that the course had been un-
satisfactory in any way.

of Providence, miraculously commun-

the Lincoln-D Douglas debates and the
Cooper Union speech this Lincoln of
the west had taken hold upon the pub

that in the providence of God come
finally to settle all struggles to which
mankind falls heir. are those convic-
