THE CITY TICKET.

The city election is almost upon us and voters will be called upon to say whether they want things to go on as they have or whether they want a change to they know not what. Under the present administration there has been a good government More progress has been made in pub lie improvement than within any ten years of the city's history and now at the end of the administration the progress is more rapid than ever We have caught the swing. There has been no public extravaganza and no failure of any officer to perform his duty. What argument can be of fered in favor of a change we can not conceive.
 The republican candidate for may or, Lloyd B. Christy. is a thorough needs now, as it has never before in its history. MT. Christy will need the support of such a councilman as John A. Marshall has been-of whose offi- cial act there has never been word of honest disapproval
 Charlie Stauffer is also a business man and a most energetic one, of broad ideas, who will have in mind only the interests of the city. He <,I hi fnE mistaken for ideals He has only a business mans knowledge of what the city now requires at the beginning of the era of its greatest growth.
 Of Marshal Moore, we believe that there has been no accusation that in the two terms of his service he has failed in the slightest in the perform ance of his duty. Under his admins tration the city has been orderly and life and property secure against such assaults as human vigilance can avert.
 Harry Diehl, also a thorough busi- ness man, has made an admirable city treasurer. In his hands the funds of the city have been safe and his ad- vice has been valuable in the coun- ciIs which have determined the busi- ness policy of the administration.
 Right here we want to emphasize the fact that the administration has had a business policy as distinct as that of a financial or commercial nstitution-something that is usually lacking in municipal governments where, unfortunately for taxpayers, everything is subordinated to politics.
 As to Frank Thomas and C. w. Barnett, candidates for reelection re- spectively, to the offices of recorder and assessor, little need be said, since it is proposed to make no changes in those offices. Their re-nomination by the republican convention was full endorsement of their official acts. The failure of the democratic con- vention to name opposition candidates may be construed to be ratification of their nominations.

The Douglas International compi- ments the late Maricopa county grand jury's thoroughness of search in the alleged bribery matter as indicated by the fact that it had summoned only prominent democrats to testify, thus evincing a purpose to draw out the truth, the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth. That may be true, and on the other hand it may be true that the grand jury surmised that if there was any legislative skull duggery as alleged, the prominent democrats would have been at the bottom of it or would have known who were Anything may be looked at from more than one point of view

ELEVATED TRACKS
PLAN OF COMPAN
Decided Improvement IN the
Arrangement of Line at
Cambridge City.
WILL REDUCE THE GRADE
IT Is ALSO PROBABLE THAT
THERE WILL be CONSIDERABLE
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CAM
BRIDGE DEPOT.
REDUCE THE GRADE

From what is regarded as a reliable
source, it has been learned that the
Pennsylvania railroad company will
make mammoth change and improve.
ment in the line at Cambridge City
and also on the grade between that
place and Dublin. Elevated tracks
The tracks will also be considerably
and the grade cut down as much as
possible. The cost Of the improvement
is estimated at close to a million dol
lars.
Tho construction Of elevated tracks
through tho town will necessitate the
change In the connections and other
important matters. It has also been
stated that the company will rearrange
and improve the depot. With the
tracks all overhead, there will be prac-
tically little danger OF accident, which
is an important matter as that city
annually gives citizen or two as q
victim to tho railroad.
The tracks vii also be considerably
wider than at the present time by
reason OF the double tracking of the
road. The grade between Cambridge
City and Dublin IL probably the steep
est on the Indianapolis division and
has been tho cause Of much expense to
the company. All heavy trains re-
quire q double header to pull them to
the top OF it. The grade will be re-
duced by excavations and by elevating
the tracks ut Cambridge City

The lowest the thermometer registered

one degree of equalling the record so
far this year. There was a great
range in temperature on Sunday, the
thermometer falling from Is degrees

F. REECE GIVEN A BEATING
IT is ALLEGED THE TROUBLE
STARTED IN A DISPUTE OVER
SAW MiLL-TWENTY.Fl WIT
NESSES ATTEND.

Martin B. Bartlett, a minister OF
Economy, was one of the defendants
in the case of the state VS.. Martin B.
and Charles Bartlett, which was plac-
ed on trial in the Wayne circuit court
today. The Bartletts are charged
with assault and battery on Frank
Reece. The case is being heard be-
fore Judge Fox. About twenty-five
witnesses have been summoned. The
state is represented by Prosecutor
Ladd and Ray Shiveley. The defen-
dants are represented b.: John F. Rob-
bins. Self defense is claimed by the
Bartletts.
What Charge Is. y~
1t Is represented by the state that
Reece had a contract with Martin
Bartlett to remove portable sawmill
to a woods on the latter's farm and
Gu: up some timber. 1t is charged that
later he was notified his contract was
void and he would have to move.
Reece did not vacate the premises
with as much speed as the Bartletts'
| desired, SO they went to the woods
where the sawmill was located and re-
buked him. 1t is charged that with
out provocaticn Charles Bartlett,
seized piece of timber and struck
Reece with it. knocking him down.
Bartlett is alleged to have continued
to maltreat his victim. There were
spectators and when they attempted
to interfere, it is claimed by the state,
the elder Bartlett forgetting his di-
vine calling, grabbed an ak and hold
| ing it in a menacing manner threat
| ened to intercept any attempted inter-
| ruption. The state charges that un.
| der the law the senior Bartlett be-
came principal in the affair by his
act.
Owing to the number of witnesses
to examine and the details which are
being entered into, it is not probable
the case will be concluded this after
noon. 1t is not expected to require
all day tomorrow.

CANARY BIRDS AID
THE HUMAN VOICES
Cincinnati Baptist Church Had
An innovation at Serv.
ices Sunday.
WERE IS BIRD SINGERS
WERE BROUGHT TO THE CHURCH
At THE REQUEST OF THE PAS
TOR AND THE HARMONY WAS
VERY BEAUTIFUL,

Cincinnati, O., July 1.-THE pres
ence of thirty-five canary birds as a
part of the choir and participating in
the Sabbath morning musical pro.
gram constituted a unique innovation
in the regular religious services at
Lincoln Park Institutional Baptist
church yesterday. -izs -. .-t
The idea Of calling the birds into
commission as part Of the choir was
original with the pastor. the Rev
George r. Robbins and the use Of the
canaries along with the choir voices
and the great church organ, it was
declared by members Of the congrega
ton, added greatly to the choir ser
vice.
The sermon was based upon the
text. Who are these that come flying
through the air like doves:"
Began t. chirp.
The regular song service preceded
the discourse by the Rev. Mr.. Rob
bins. Members of the congregation
had been charged in advance to brins
with them as many canaries as were
available. The birds began theil
chipping with the first strains from
the choir and ceased when the music
did.
The keeping Of musical time wa.
noticeable. especially in the observ
ance Of the slight inrermission be
tween voices Of the song. Dr.. Robin,
and many members of the congrega
ton did not hesitate to assert tina
the feature Of the canaries added mucl
to the service.
During tie praying and preachin;
the songsters conducted thcmselve,
with remarkable decorum. but whei
the organ was played and the choir
master waved his baton the most beau
tiful music ever sung in the churcl
came forth. This wes kept up for thre
periods of ten minutes each.
The pastor said he wanted his hear
ers to take a lesson for plain an.
honest living from the birds. and hi
bringing them there was for the pu-
pose OF showing his congregation tina
the beauty Of nature ought always I,
be appreciated.
