CARNATION LEAGUE

In honor of the memory of President
William Mckinley, the 68th anniver-
sary of whose birth falls ON Saturday,
January 80, members of "The Carna-
tion League of America" in this city
will display on that occasion the
martyred executives flower. A re-
minder of this annual tribute to the
distinguished son of Ohio, which has
become nation wide, has been sent out
by General Robert 2. Kennedy, of
Bellefontaine, o., founder of the
league.
This league is unique in that it has
no officers and its members pay no
dues. Any citizen of the United States
is admitted to membership simply by
wearing a carnation on his coat lapel
ON January 20.
In his letters to members, General
Kennedy says: LET us, for one day,
at least, pay tribute to this one whose
life was in fullest measure, an example
which can well be followed by the
coming generations. "

PENNIES TABOO

Postmaster W. L. Gouger has re-
ceived notice from the department.
at Washington that commencing with
the 10th of February rural letter car
riers will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes. The
order has been made in view of the
extent to which the practice has
grown, and the delay in the delivery
and collection of mail and the hard
ships imposed ON rural carriers incid-
ent thereto.
The communication to Postmaster
Gouger also states that, Patrons
should enclose coins in an envelope,
wrap them securely in IL piece of pap
er, or deposit them in coin holding
receptacle, so they can be easily and
quickly taken from boxes, and carriers
will be required TO lift such coins,
and, where accompanied by mail for
dispatch, attach the requisite stamps. -

A SENSATION.

The usual proceedings of license
court Iwere varied Friday with a
tilt between the court and the mem
bers of the bar, in which one of the
lay judges was accused of "prejudg-
ing" a case.
The matter was brought up in the
morning by Ralph Kisner, ESQ, who
in verbal statement to the court ex-
planned that he had been retained as
counsel by Mr. Houghton, applicant
for license at Exchange, but that he
had withdrawn on being informed by
Associate Welliver that the license
would not be granted. - He CRITICS.
ed this expression as grave indiscre-
tion.
Judge Evans remarked that it was
wholly irregular to prejudge" case.
He explained, however, that he made
the remark only in a general way.
Hon Grant Herring after his arriv-
al learned of Mr.. Kisner's accusation.
Later in the day he took the matter
up, declining to go on with the case
until Judge Welliver had taken the
stand and declared whether or not he
had said that the license at Exchange
would not be granted. -
Mr. Welliver complied and under
oath protested that he had no recol-
lection of putting it in that way. He
had in his mind the weight of the re-
monstrance, he said, and as he recall
ed it his remark was to the effect that
the protest was of such nature that
it could not be ignored-that its moral
force would be such that it would de-
eide the issue, which of course would
imply that the license might not be
granted.
AT Mr. Herring s request Mr.. Kisner
was called to the stand, when he con-
firmed Mr.. Welliver as related to one
occasion, but adverted to another in
stance when he alleged the associate
judge remarked that the license
would notbe granted

THE REMONSTRANTS

Following the noon intermission the
witnesses for the remonstrance were
called and one hour and half were
occupied with their testimony.
Thomas DENIM was the first wit
ness. Citing the speech of the people
he said the applicant is not a fit per-
son to conduct IL hotel.
The second witness called was Boyd
Stead, postmaster at Exchange. Ac-
cording to the speech of the people, he
said, the reputation of the applicant
lis not very good and he is not fit
person to be entrusted with license. -
Among other witnesses called, who
testified TO the above effect were JOS
eph Kuhns and John a. Ellis.
Harry Cox, the present landlord. de-
scribed the satisfactory amount of
business done at the Exchange hotel.
Others who testified for the remons-
trance were DR.. Lawrence of Turbot-
Vile, Amos Albecb, constable of Anth-
ony township, r. X. Mohr, Millard
BetZ ana W. IL. Dildlne, or Exchange.
\ few of the witnesses went on record
to the effect that licensed house is
not needed, but that house for the
accommodation of the public run on
the temperance plan would fill a want
at Exchange.

court in behalf of the applicant oc-
cupying over half an hour He was
followed by W. Kase West for the re-
mOuStrance.
