she was unable to close the school

Miss Roller to close the school

This brought about a climax of the

board was called together and they
voted to pay Miss Roller for the en-
tire term and then dismiss her. The
president knew that there was moth

action and he said he would resign
before he would sign the order. The

and he resigned. Another Indiana

Some time ago the count discovered
that hail cannot form when there is
na.. electricity in the air. In the
eoHrse of a long series of experiments
in which he was assisted by Gen. De
Negrier, he has perfected an instru-
ment, like q lightning conductor;
which drains fhe atmosphere of any
electricity with which it is charged.
For some time past this hail de-
stroyer has been working with sue.
cess in rural districts formerly par
ticularly subject to hail storms,
which, it is estimated, cost the farm
ers and fruit growers of the country
not less than $4O,000.0O0 year.
While the surrounding country was
ravaged by violent hail storms, the
districts protected by the counts in.
struments-"electric dams" he calls
them-have been immune, the hail
being converted into rain before il
reached the ground. Convinced by
these results, the Paris municipal
council has decided to install in the
capital system of hail destroyers.
They will be placed at three of the
highest points of the city-namely
at the SUBMITS of the Eiffel tower
the Sacre Occur, and the Pantheon
forming vase protective triangle.

Sheep and lambs, largely from the
fact of light receipts, sold readily to-

Mr.. ALFREE FOR CONGRESS.

Since it became evident that Hon.
N. E. Kendall was to have opposition
for the republican nomination for con-
gress from this district, friends OF Mr..
H. E. Allfree, of Newton, and Ellis
worth Rominger, of Bloomfield, have
wished that one or both of them
might might decide to enter the race.
They are both Taft republicans and
good men.
Mr.. Allfree has already met the
solicitation of his friends and made
formal announcement that he will be
a candidate. One does not need to
read between the lines of his an
free stands. He is for the renomi-
nation and reelection of President
Taft and al advocate Of republican
ism, as enunciated in the national
platform adopted at Chicago.
Mr.. Allfree is a young man, who
has made grand success of his life,
and booster who attracts attention
In anything he undertakes. His ca
reer has been that of a business man
going into politics only so far as
every good citizen should-to work
open and above board for the men
and principles Of his choice.
As part of his announcement Mr..
Allfree has given good reason for
his move. 1t is one of the planks of
his platform and will no doubt hold
a lot Of his friends. II reads:
"The practical doctrine announced
by President Taft and continually
fostered by him that business meth
DDS should be introduced into gov
ernmental affairs and then assidu-
ously maintained is finding a glad re-
Spouse from every part of this coun.
try, and the people are gradually re.
alizing that it takes business men to
introduce and maintain these business
methods in state and national at.
fairs"

illustration republicans in the Unit
States were sure that Abraham
lincoln could not be reelected presi-
ent.
The opposition to Lincolns re.
omination was as strong and well
rganiZed as the opposition to Taft's
denomination.
His own cabinet was dislOyel. Sal.
ION T. Chase, his secretary of the
reasury, was intriguing for the pres
lency. The festern radicals wanted
remont, precisely as the western
ldicals today are screaming for
oosevelt. Thad Stevens, who was
lie republican leader of the house,
as strongly opposed to Lincoln.
reeley, Wade and Davis were against
i'm because they believed he would
,e defeated and that the election OF
democratic president would mean
ational disaster. Wendell Phillips
Janted "a statesman and patriot" in
lace of Lincoln.
The New York Herald had sug-
ested Grants nomination and there
as a strong sentiment in favor OF
he hero of Vicksburg. A mass meet
lg of the Fremont faction of Lin
olns opponents was held in Cleve-
nd the week before the Baltimore
invention. Its attitude toward Lin.
DIN was similar to the attitude OF
he Roosevelt progressive" republi-
ans toward Taft.
Even after Lincoln was renOminat'
his campaign managers regarded
efeat as probable. Lincoln himself
haired their fears. AS late as Aug
st %, 1864, he gave a sealed memo,
andum to Secretary Welles, which
cad as follows:
This morning, as for some
days past, it seems exceedingly
probable that this administration
will not be reelected. Then it
will be my duty to cooperate
with the president-elect so as to
save the union between the cleo
ton and the inauguration, as he
will have secured his election on
such grounds that he cannot pos
sibly save it afterward.'
Yet in spite of all this dependency
ncoln polled 2,216,O67 votes to Nc
'ellan's 1,SOS,725, and had 212 elec
raj votes to McClellan's q.
~
braham Lincoln and 1912 is not
64, but it is easily possible that the
lti.Taft politicians of this genera
on may be no better prophets than
re anti-Lincoln politicians of a pre-
ding generation. Taft, like Lin
oln, may be much stronger than he
