UNDER ROSE Law
LIQUOR CANNOT BE SOLD ON The OHIO
BELOW LOW-WATER MARK.

Manchester, Ohio, May l5.-The
Adams County Circuit Court, com
posed of Judges Jones, Cherrington
and Walters, to-day handed down its
opinion affirming the decision of
Judge E. E. Corn, of the Common
Pleas Court, in the case of Ohio

cinnati saloonist, who was recently
indicted and fined $500 and costs
upon two indictments for violating
the Rose law by selling intoxicating
liquor from the gasoline boat Bertha

decision in effect reverses that re-

GET MARRIED
BEFORE MAY TWENTY-SEVEN AND SAVE
ONE DOLLAR.

If she's in the notion and the two
of you expect to get married, better
lead her to the alter before May Or,
for.by doing so you'll save one round
dollar. Now one with PUNK in these
days, with prices for everything
soaring, is not to be despised, so
twill be well to HE to Hymen's altar
within the next few days if you ex-
pect to wed at all. OF course, you'll
have to let the license get little
stale if its to be used for a June
wedding, but what of that: Any
way the month of May is as good a
time as June even if weddings in
poetry and the popular songs always
come in that month.
The reason for this is that one of
the provisions of the amended laws
governing the regulation Offices raises
the price of a marriage license from
81 to SO. This should be enough to
cause bargain day rush at the
County Clerk Office.
Another provision of the new law
increases the fee for recording judg-
ments from e5 cents to 50 cents.
Still another provision creates a fee
50 cents for making transfers on the
land book. Until the year 1905 this
fee was regularly charged, but at the
beginning of 1905 it was dropped
and is now being restored by order
of the legislature. The new law goes
into effect May 81.

ISLAND QUEENS
OWNER GOES TO PENTENTIARY FOR
THREEANDONE HALF YEARS.

The owner of the big excursion
boat, Island Queen, is in deep trou-
bic Just at present. The Pittsburg
Gazette has the following to say of
the later troubles of the owner:
Captain John Klein, the genial
Pittsburg excursion boat owner, and
ex-councilman, who was sentenced
Wednesday to three and half years
in the penitentiary and fined 81, 500
for accepting a bride of $3.50
while city councilman, made last
visit to the Pittsburg river front and
to his excursion steamer, the Island
Queen Friday afternoon. His face,
which is usually covered with smiles,
was sad. He didn't tarry long, but
told his crew not to forget to blow
the Queens whistle every time the
boat passed that penitentiary down
on the river bank at the lower end of
Pittsburs. He said he would always
be listening. Captain Klein, who is
a middle aged man, is very small in
stature, and has been dubbed the
wee captain. He was pool boat
cook few years back, but got into
the excursion business and made
money fast, but finally went to the
wall. Everything went on Klein S
boat. The Island Queen is the old
packet St. soseph, sternwheel boat
from the south, and was rebuilt at
Point Pleasant few years ago.

SUNFLGWER PHILOSOPHY.

A girl visitor never has better
clothes at home than those she has
with her.
Every one is skeptical about
ghosts-in the day time.
If you are bound to put off some
thing until tomorrow, put off being
foolish.
People worry more over man
who makes money too fast than one
who spends it too fast.
Telling one lie to escape the con-
sequences of another is about as effec-
tive as committing suicide to escape
execution.
After woman has been married
few months she goes around with
a look on her face indicating she
smells dead rat.
Nearly every man whistles for the
same reason that he swears and
ehews tobacco-learned it as boy,

At least this much can be said for
the women: They do not claim that
this seasons hats are beautiful; only
stylish.

not BODY
OF LEON

New York, July 2.-That the body
found in the Hudson river last night
is that of Leon Ling was affirmed by
a newspaper reporter who saw the
body at the morgue this morning. The
reporter said he is sure the body Is
chat of the Chinese wanted for the
murder of Elsie Sigel. because he
knew him all last summer when the
Chinaman ran a pin game at Fort
George. All of the pecuhaEafies of the
body corresponded with those Of Ling.
New York, July 2.-The drsi at
tempts made by che police to identify
the body of the Chinaman found in
the Hudson river last night. as that of
Leon Ling, wanted for the Gnurder OF
Elsie Sigel. have failed but another
attempt will be made today and il Is
expected the body will be identified.
A small boy who knew Ling well in
life was taken to the morgue and per
nitted to review the remains. but he
said it was not uhe suspected China
man. Members of the Sigel family
have not been asked to identify the
body as they have not rendered any
aid to the police in the search for
Leon.
Ii was afterwards proved that the
body was not that OF Leon Ling hut
of boy 1G years old, which had been
discolored by being q long time In the
water and thus the search for Ling
starts anew.

TEACHER is
BACK AGAIN

Washington July From the way
ia which school got down to work this
morning it was evident that the teach
er had returned and was here. Aid
rich. chairman of the finance commit
tee. was in his seat when the senate
convened and a full quorum was rea-
dy for business. The return of Aldrich
caused much speculation as to the pos
sibility OF getting a vote On the in
come tax proposition and the senators
believe the end is near. The fact that
Bulkeley's objection stood in the way
of getting a vote before Tuesday and
that fhe debate seemed almost ex-
hassted. led 10 the conclusion that a
vote will be taken then. and some be-
heved it might even be taken before
tomorrow.
Business began with the presenta-
tion of petitions against the corpora
tion tax BILL many coming from the
Northwest From Spokane, Wash, $50
merchants appeared in support of the
bill as proposed by Taft because it
safe-guarded the private information
of the business interests. Another firm
called the bill ''pernicious" and want
ed iL killed.
'Heyburn in speaking on the meas
ure declared The amendment TO be too
indefinite. He declared he fixing of
the two per cent tax on corporations
renders il impossible 70 determine
the object of the bill to enforce its
provisions because of its yagueness.
Aldrich, Root and other senators re-
piled to these objections, saying many
distinguished lawyers had passed on
them and found the bill TO be consti-
tutional
Senator Rayner declared his belief
that the bill was constitutional but un-
just. He said he would vote for it,
however, because he could not obtain
an income tax and otherwise the gov
ernment would be bankrupt
Brandegee said it could not be con-
tended that congress had a right to
tax corporations chartered by the
states to carry on business.
The subcommittee of the finance
committee of the senate today decid-
ed 10 prohibit coupons in tobacco and

ROAD
WANTED

Said J. A. Graham, secretary of the
Commercial Club, to the Record to-
day: Roswell is neglecting a great
opportunity In not building good wa
gon road through the sands 35 miles
east of town. The country for 100
miles north and south and 30 miles
east and west is being settled up rap
idly. In fact. around Scottsboro and
acres Is taken up and you can stand in
one spot and count over fifty houses
In view. The best natural road thru
the sands is much further south than
directly east of Roswell and the
trade from this section Is going to the
towns lower down the valley when
Roswell Is nearer to the people on
the plains; but the roads are nearly
ampassable to Roswell. Artesia is
now buihiing a road from Artesia east
to the plains and we of Roswell
should at once push the matter thru
and build a good road through the
sands. Roswell need build no road
out of the sands. for the present one
Is In good condition. With a road
across the sands, Roswell Is sure to
get the large amount OF this trade
that really belongs to as but which
we are now losing.
II have been over this section and
know what we are losing. but those
who have not seen this section of the
plains do not realize the importance
OF the matter. The country that had
not a single house two years ago is
now thickly settled. consider the
building OF this wagon road second on
ly to building a railroad east.
] "Some of the finest Irish potatoes
ever saw was raised on sod land five
miles south of ScottsbTo last year
and sold at towns lower down the
valley.
The profit on the trade. that would
come to Roswell in twelve months
would more than build the most ex-
pensive road through this section and
The trade will increase each year as
The country grows. I would like to
see the merchants and business cnen
AXE a trade excursion over this Sec
lion as they do no -trealize what Is
here and 1t Is a section that natural
" belongs TO US.
I'VE have the most progressive
county commissioners of any county
know of any where and / feel sure
hat IL the citizens of Roswell ask for
his road 1t will be built by them"
