chosen secretary of the committee.
The matter Of other publicity, news.
paper and otherwise, was left to the
discretion of the manager Of the III
dustrial Association with power to
act.
An order for a number of the
post cards we're given. with the I'M
derstanding that the form should be
left standing that the order might
be added to from time to time in
case the first order proved insult
ficient.
There was q feeling Of earnestness
shown throughout the meeting which
was short but very active during the
session.
| The meeting finally adjourned with
the direction that it should meet
again at the call of President Balling-
err.
The post cards will be ready in a
few days when the committee will
commence sending them out and it
appeared to be the hope of the com
mittee that the citizens should com
mence at once to do their part in
mailing these cards to relatives and
friends in different parts of the coun-
try wherever they may be located.

Kissing is All Rlaht.

BERLIN, July 16.-In long article
carefully prepared months ago, and
printed In a local publication TODAY.
Professor Adolph Paskau of Breslau
strongly champions OSCILLATION. "Far
from being harmful" says the noted
sayant, kissing may soothe the
nerves. and have really beneficial
effect, physiologically." This pleas
ing note in the article is based, says
the savant on experiments. He does
mt say IL the experiments were per
sonal ones, Humanity has survived
kissing ten thousand years. the ar
ticle continues, "and It Will survive
many more ten thousand, If the world
lasts that long. It is doubtful If any
one ever contracted tuberculosis
through kissing-at least not in Ger
many"

CARTHAGE WOMEN
USED THE BALLOT
At Election Yesterday 4a1 Of Them
Voted While $40 Male Votes
were Cast.

CARTHAGE, H.. July 1e.-John B.
johnson, democrat, was elected here
as successor of the late ]. Mack
Sholl, formerly the mayor of the city.
The town was in a ferment Of ex-
element, as 1t was the first time that
the women had been given a chance
to vote and they all took advantage
OF 1t. The polls we're the scene Of
large crowds, where nearly as many
women as men gathered. This is the
first election in which the women
have ever participated and the inter-
est they took in it is indicated by the
fact that 431 women voted. The total
male vote. cast was $40 and consid-
ering the fact that 1t is the first cleo
ton In which the women ever partici,
pated, 1t is considered unusual.
Johnson, the democratic candidate.
ran far ahead of all other candidates,
beating p. A. Wilcox, the progressive
man, by a plurality of nearly 400
votes. w. Morgan, on the indepen-
dent ticket, finished third, with u
votes to his credit. Wilcox secured
2S4
The election was one OF the most
exciting which has been held In this
city in years, probably due to the fact
that the women cast their first vote.
The women have proven big factor
In the election and have been as much
interested in It as the men, If not
more so.
The result was not unexpected.

CLIMAX IN THE
CRISPELL MYSTERY
Comes This Afternoon When Herbert
Johns VIII Ask for His
Liberty.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service I
WIIiKESBARRE. Pa. July 16.-The
climax in the Crispell mystery of July
at Harvey's Lake will be reached
late this afternoon when Herbert
Johns of this city will be taken before
four judges of the county court for ha-
beas corpus hearing. The belief that
Johns and Miss Crispell were married
in Atlantic City in June and such ac-
ton would form possible motive for
the crime has been exploded by an In
vestigation at that place which fails to
reveal any record of such an event.
The district attorney admits there
is nothing of value in the report
While county detectives have been
working on the case and running down
numerous clues there is no additional
evidence and testimony presented tins
afternoon by the commonwealth will
practically be the same as that at the
preliminary hearing before the alder
men.
While District Attorney Bigelow will
not make definite sta ement as to
his belief of the outcome, it is known
that he is not very hopeful of making
a prima facie case on which to hold
the prisoner.

The government lighthouse tender

This craft belongs in the lower Mis-
sissippi where 1t has been in light
house service sometime, but as the
upper river has no such craft now, It
was ordered to make the round trip

the men who take care Of the govern

It appears that there is a PROPOSE
ton now under consideration to
change the type Of light to one that
will burn about five days with one
filling. By this change 1t is thought
that the territory for the light ten
ders could be extended enabling the
employment of regular man for the
job. Such change would make it
unnecessary to carry Oil to the lamps
every day but light tenders would be
required to clean them regular and
see that they burn each night.
