Board if Elected Mayor.

Kansas City has been heralded as
the first city in the United States to

Captain Charged
 With Seeking His
 Own Safety First

Panama, May. 29-Tales of barbary and heroism were told here to-day by the 73 survivors of the National Steam CT Taboga, which struck on rock near Guanico Point, Tuesday night, and sank, arriving here on the steam CT David.
 The heroes of the Taboga were Chief Engineer Perivanches, and a Cuban sailor, neither of whom could swim. They refused. however, to take to the lifeboats, preferring that their places be taken by passengers. They went down with the vessel.
 The survivors charge Captain Camp bell of the Taboga, with acting in an ungallant manner and of seeking his own safety ahead of that of the oth- CTS.
 NJ. Ponsignon, brother of the French Charge D. Affaires. was picked up by the David after having been out for 12 hours. He was almost exhausted when rescued.
 The list of dead in the accident is now placed at IA passengers and nine of the crew.

PUT SANDLES ON
SALOON SIT
UATION.

The Putnam Co. Sentinel, Put San
dies paper of last week, says: Last
| Sunday, in Ottawa, more people at
tended the churches than usual. A
militant spirit seems to have taken
hold of all the places of worship.
Aroused moral awakening and interest
perVades the county. Printed bills and
posters announce that second local
option battle will soon be fought. The
temperance forces are making the pre-
parations, and at the same time profess
sing to believe that the coming decis-
ion OF the supreme court will favor the
dry side.
If the decision places Putnam county
in the dry column II will be up 10 the
vets to petition for a second election.
They would have but little trouble in
securing a petition.
From recent rumors and reports of
grand jury It would seem that a num-
ber of saloons have been filling boys,
mere minors, up with booze. Decent
citizens, both wet and dry, by big
majority would vote to stop such out
RACES in Putnam county. If saloons
would observe the law II is doubtful
whether they would be voted dry. The
officer who fails to prosecute and en-
force the laws regarding saloons is not
doing tho business any good. The
saloonkeeper who does observe the law
does not get a square deal, IL officers of
the law refuse to punish those who
violate the law. Regulation or olimi-
nation of the saloon is certain. The
officer of the law who is a friend Of the
saloon can do it more good by strictly
enforcing law and Furnishing with Sc
we're penalties those who violate ordi-
nanees and law.
A father may go into the saloon and
take drink and occasionally become
intoxicated, but If the question comes
up to him to vote either for
the continuance of the saloon or to save
his boy from a drunkard's grave three
out of four will vote for the boy.
The flagrant saloonkeeper who open
ly violates the law and the public Off !
cial who hagrantly refuses to enforce
the law will make more dry votes than
Billy Sunday.
The temperance forces are thorough |
ly organized and will fight to the last |
ditch. A lot of liberal people will vote
against violation of law and decency |
who would not vote against taking a
drink in a saloon, As to who wins
the second battle will depend largely
upon the saloonkeeper himself.

CHANGES IN TIME
OF RUNNING G..
N. TRAINS

Changes in the schedule of running
trains on the Cincinnati Northern rail
road will go into effect next Sunday,
the 23d. The change will not benefit
Celina in any way that we can see-in
fact, the shoe is on the other foot. The
people of the south end of the county
will be worse off than with the present
schedule, cutting their already limited
time here. The north bound train, on
which the people of the south end must
rely on to reach Celina to transact their
business, arrives at 1l:46 am, ten
minutes later than at present, and the
train on which they are compelled to
return or stay until next day, is now
scheduled to go south at 1918 pm, an
hour and a half earlier-cutting their
already short time in this city more
than half in two-and instead of three
hours and twelve minutes in this city,
after Sunday they will have one hour
and thirty-two minutes If the north
bound train is on time, which frequent
ly is not the case. This makes the
service to our southern neighbors
about on a par with the ierk-water
division of the G. H. 81 d.
The booze special north leaves few
minutes earlier, at 4:25 pm.
The morning train south at 1912 and
the evening train north at 1921 are not
changed
