Last Saturday one of the worst
floods ever known in this section
converted Coal Creek into a
raging torrent for several hours.
Timber was washed from the
canyons and carried out into
the fields, and the road up the
canoyn was washed out. in a
number of places. The roar of
the rushing waters could be
heard all over town and many
persons were attracted to the
stream to witness the unusual
scene.

w. r. PoUNDSTONE.

Postmaster-elect Charles Beck had
a long-distance telephone conversation
with Congressman Finly Gray today,
and was informed that Mr. Gray would
attend the Democratic district con-
vention to be held in Connersville
Monday for the purpose OF electing
a district chairman. The Sixth dis
trict representative had no comment
to make on the political situation in
his bailiwick at the present time,
which his opponents say is ominous
for his political future, but expressed
his delight over the passage of the
currency bill.
The statement issued by a promi-
nent Democratic state official and pub
lished in the Palladium yesterday, and
an Indianapolis paper this morning.
calling Representative Gray a "dema-
gogue" and urging the election of Wal
ter Chambers, editor of the New Cas-
tie Times, as district chairman, was
interpreted in local Democratic. circles
today to mean the determination of
the Taggart-Ralston organization to
place the skids under Representative
Gray's third term aspirations as a
sop to the anti-organiZation faction
in the Sixth district to insure the
election of Chambers as district chair
man. for the machine would much pre-
fer to control the chairman of this
district than to have such an erratic
henchman as Mr.. Gray has proved to
be during his congressional career.
Take 1t With Salt.
The assertion made in the state
ment of the state official that Cham
bers is not "anybody's man" is taken
with grain of salt by local anti-Tag-
gart Democratic leaders, who have al
ways known him as n loval Taggart
man. The New Castle Courier ven
lures the opinion that IF the anti-Tag-
CART Democrats are in earnest they
will never allow the election of Cham
bers. because no one ever doubted

ing effect January ], the work of the
saRnty officials in thd assessment and
collection of taxes VIII be much SIM
plified, according to statements made
today.
The new law provides that docu-
ments of this kind shall take pre-
cedence in the order in which they are
filed for record. 1t has formerly been
the rule that a purchaser had forty
five days in which to have his deed
recorded and a similar length of time
to have a mortgage entered.
Now the time limit has been done
away with and it is first come, first
served. Thus should man sell a
piece of property to two buyers, the
first one having his deed recorded
would become the owner Formerly
the purchaser holding the prior deed
would be regarded as the rightful
owner of the property.
BY thus compelling all papers of
this kind to be recorded at once, il
will be possible TO keep the books
of the county always up to the min
ute and obviate disputes arising con-
corning the proper tax payer on prop
erty.

ways defended vigorously the organ

Democracy"
1t matters not whether the Taggart
or the anti-Taggart faction of the
Democratic party obtains control of
the district organization. Mr. Gray
will find it cold, nard political
world, with practically only his post
office appointees to pat him on the
back. The anti-organiZation men have
been earnestly seeking his scalp ever
since the break made by the Corners
vile politician in opposing a congress
sional gift for the presidents daugh-
ter, and now the state organization
itself has announced it will be pleased
if his services in congress terminate
with his present term year hence.
Null Wants Job.
Lon Null, of Manila, Rush county,
one of the best-known Democrats of
the district, who has heard the buzz
ing of the congressional bee for sew
eral years, is being urged by friends
to announce his candidacy against
Gray, and he will not require much
urging. A boom has been launched
for Judge AlonZo Blair of Shelbyville,
and the Rev. T. H. Kuhn of Hancock
county, formerly of Richmond, has
again taken the 6eld in search of the
elusive Democratic congressional nom
ination, which he captured once, only
to be defeated by Jim Watson, his
Republican opponent, and which was
snatched from his eager grasp two
years later by the present incumbent
of the $500 year federal job.
Another drop of vitriol in Gray S
well-flled cup of misery is the action
of the Rushville Jacksonian, a dyed
in-the-wool Democratic organ, in hand
ing him the mitten and striking up an
outrageous filtration with Judge Blair,
expressing it's belief that the judge
could fill Mr.. Gray's job in most sat
isfactory manner. #.-s

No desire to enter into a contro-

ing the west end of the Main street
bridge and filling Main street level
with Second street, is shown by City
Civil Engineer Charles.
Just now Engineer Charles is figur-
ing an equitable basis Of payment be

and property owners.
The interurban company should
pay rent and if / could regulate it, the
company would have been paying
rent for the use of the bridge from the
first" said Mr. Charles.
Ordinance Repealed.
The city engineer says the Main
street bridge was built with the con-
ditions that no car lines be allowed TO
run over it. This was made a city or.
dinance but when the chance came for
interurbans to enter the city by this
route, council at that time. quickly re.
pealed the ordinance and did every
thing in it's power to induce the inter
urban company to cross the bridge
with the cars.
When the bridge was built, the
county and city decided to build a
structure strong enough only for OF.
binary traffic. Engineer Charles be
lieves one-half of the wear and tear
on the bridge is from the street cars
and interurbans. He says the street
car company is paying no rent and
paid no benefits when the tracks were
placed on the bridge. Before council
permitted the laying of the tracks
there, the Doran bridge, a more solid
structure, was to have been used for
street cars and ,interurbans.
q. Urges Change in Track.
City Engineer Charles asserts that
there will never be a safe condition
at the foot of Main street hill until
the tracks are placed in the middle OF
the street and bridge.

PEACE PLAN BRIGHT.
Citizens Alliance Believes Families
of Victims Will Accept Aid.

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. 27.-Plans
for peace in the troubled Calumet
mining district went forward follow
ing the departure of President Meyer
of the Western Federation of Miners,
who was escorted out of the copper
district by a committee of the Citi-
Zens' Alliance.
The alliance members believe that
with Meyer out of the way, that the
families of the striking miners. who
lost children, wives or fathers in the
Christmas eve disaster, which cost
seventy-two lives, would accept the
$25, 900 subscribed to relieve the sore
ly stricken survivors.
Meyer had a long conference with
representatives of the Citizens Alli-
ance last evening.
Refuses to Retract.
The miners president refused to re-
tract what he had said about his be-
lief that a member of the Alliance
had caused the panic by shouting
fire" in the Italian hall while the
miners children were receiving pres
ents about a giant Christmas tree.
Representative of the Citizens AL
lance faced some difficulties in con-
lerring with striking miners today be-
cause of the resentment which has
been stirred up by strike leaders on
account of the deportation of Presi-
dent Meyer Considerable i'll feeling
exists. Charges of kidnapping were
made today at the Office of the sher-
iff by members OF the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners. The sheriff promises
and investigation.
Sheriff Cruise denied emphatically
today that Meyer had been subjected
to any rough treatment in Hancock
or Houghton last night. and supple
mented this by an assertion that the
whole alleged kidnapping affair looked
like a frame-up TO incite sympathy
and secure aid for his organization.
