Temperance Given a Majority
Of 925 Yesterday in a
LiStIesS Election.
ONLY A SMALL VOTE CAST
THE ourcomE WAS a FoREcoNE
CONCLUSION AND THE wealth.
Err WAS IDEAL FOR FARMERS
TO HUSk CORN.

Williamsport, Ind, Dec. by a
majority of 925 the voters of Warren
county yesterday voiced their appIc-
baton of the dry" regime which has
been in effect for the last year.
The election was quiet in every pre-
cinct, and the result, being foregone
conclusion, it aroused little enthus-
iasm.
Less than fifty people gathered at
the headquarters to receive the le-
turns. which began to come in early
and which were completed at s
O'Clock.
The day was ideal for corn husking
from the polls. Only about s. per-
cent of the total vote was cast.
Fight in Liberty Township.
The only township in which any
fight was made was Liberty. A health
resort is located at Mudlavia Springs
in this township and ''bootleggins
has been going On there in a quiet
way ever since the town went 'dry'
A sumshoe campaign was carried on
by the 'wets" in this township, and
their plans were not discovered until
a few days before the election. when
two men became intoxicated and gave
away the details of the plan.
Mudlavia Springs is to Warren
county what French Lick is to Orange
county, and the temperance people
were determined to make a good
showing in this wet stronghold, and
the best speakers that could be secur-
ed were sent here. IT. c. Van Heide
a reformed Ohio saloon keeper, spoke
in the church at Mudlavia and it is
said his talk won many votes for the
''drys"
The vote in Washington township
in which Williamsport is located, de-
veloped a surprise by giving Tie
"drys'' a majority of JOG, when it had
been conceded doubtful by the tenn
perance people and was claimed by
the vets" The vote cast today was
entirely satisfactory to the temper
ance people, as they had estimated
that about so percent of the vote
would be polled.
There were fifty more votes cast
in Williamsport than at the city cleo
tion few weeks ago. The result OF
the election shows that the sentiment
against the saloon is still growing,
and it is hardly probable that another
saloon will be opened within its bord-
ers.
Predicted Sweeping Victory.
The Anti-Saloon league has conduct
ed a vigorous campaign throughout
the country and maintained from the
beginning Of the contest that the tenn
perance forces would win a sweeping
victory.
The liquor men had practically no
organization, as the strength of the
"drys" and the determined stand TAX
EN- by the merchants in favor of the
emperance cause discouraged any at
tempts they made toward carrying on
a campajgn Not much rnonar moe

to Ft. Wayne yesterday to arrest Wal
ter Jack" Shire on a charge of OBJ
tanning money on false pretenses, ar

be taken to Huntington and tried. 1t
is probable that it will be several
weeks before Shire is tried here.

FireleSe Cooking

The use of the Fireless Cook Stove
will be demonstrated in this city in
the near future and cooking lessons
given free. The old cookers were
very wonderful. They would cook
with ninety percent of the fuel used
in ordinary cooking.
The new Calonic will do practical
ly anything that gas, coal. oil, wood,
or electrict range will do, with from
se%venty-five to ninety percent of the
amount of fuel. 1t ROASTS, BAKES,
BOILS, STEAMS and STEwS. 1t will
roast beef deliciously and does not
require basting. 1t will bake cakes,
pies, and bread. 1t will bake Bo =
ton beans as they have never been
baked since the days Of the brick
oven.
The only fire required is to start
the food cooking, that is to have it
come to a boil, if boiled or steamed
and to heat the steatite radiators, If
it is to be baked or roasted. The
saving of time is great, as no stirring
or watching is necessary. 1t will
not BURN. The quality of the food
is very much improved. Watch
for the announcement of the time
and place of the demonstration of
these stoves.
Remember, lessons IN cooking and
serving all varities Of food, FREE. :
