A PROGRESSIVE TALK.

In his speech in Kansas City, Kas.,
last night, opening the State campaign
for the Progressives, Henry ]. Allen
declared for the new rule in county
and State affairs, defended President
Wilson's administration in it's Mexi-
can and other policies, and declared
that the new spirit in politics called
for the elimination of politics from
local and State offices.
THE only argument that is made
for the. amalgamation of the Progress
sive and Republican parties is that
united we can whip the Democrats.
That has been the aim of all our pol
itical activities as far back as 1 can
remember. That is the reason we
have made such slow progress in the
development of government. Has Il
occurred to you that possibly the DEM
ocrats do not deserve to be whipped
If Woodrow Wilson carries out his
program and succeeds in doing what
everyone comedies he is trying to do
possibly the American people will de-
mand his reelection, and why
shouldn't they? That is the new idea
the new spirit in politics.
IF he fails it will be because his
party is merely the Democratic party
and unable to catch the new spirit
Then his party should be defeated
just as the Republican party was de.
feated.
LET us get the vision of the Gov.
eminent, rather than the party.
'The people must first get posses.
sion of the Government and then ad.
minister it for the people who live I'm.
der it and who pay the costs of the
administration. We can neither re-
duce taxes nor promote the public vel.
fare upon platform of whipping the
Democrats - Kansas City Star

Miller.kleinhuizen,

On Wednesday evening, Septem-
Der second, at the home of the brides
parents, Miss Eleanor Miller was uni
ted in marriage to Albert Kleinhuizen.
The parties are too we'll known to
need any introduction to our readers.
Both Of them are highly respected and
in every way successful people.
They will make their home in Ray
mond. The newly married couple left
on the early morning train for a
short wedding trip.
The decorations of the home and
the table were very beautiful but
simple and the banquet served after
the wedding was all that could be de-
sired. The guests were confined to
the relatives and to a few intimate
friends. Rev. John Watson assisted
by the Rev. Ypma performed the we'd
ding ceremony. The best wishes CT
all our citizens go with these young
people in their journey through life.

Joel Whit .4fe Dead

Last Saturday the grim angel
of death entered the home of
Mr.. B.H. Whitmire and claimed
his eldest son, Joel. The young
man was in his seventeenth
year and was loved by all who
knew him. He was a member
of Cross Roads Baptist church,
having joined about two years
ago. Several members Of this
family have been sick recently
and Joel had been suffering for
several weeks. A sad incident
at the funeral was the absence
of the mother on account OF ILL
ness.
The funeral was preached and
the bodv inferred at Cedar Rock
church, the services being con-
quoted by Rev. B. E. Grandy.
The Sentinel joins the many
friends in this county in extend
ing to Mr.. Whitmire and his
family heartfelt sympathy in
their sore bereavement.

Revenue Officers
Capture Five Stills

During the past three weeks
Revenue Officers B. B. LaBoon,
Sweet Alexander and w. F.
Christopher, with G. L. Cureton,
special employee of the U. S.
Revenue department. h a We
raided five moonshine stills and
captured seven men. together
with a quantity Of booze and
beer.
Two of the stills were found
on Oolenoy and two men cap
tured. Two were found on
Eastatoe and two men captured
there. While the fifth still was
found in cove just at the foot
OF Table Rock mountain. Quite
an experience was had by the
officers in raiding this still. It
was raided just at midnight
Saturday night and three men
wele at work when the officers
came upon them. They were
enabled to get close enough to
the moonshiners to hear their
conversation while, at work.
They were discussing what
would happen if the officers
were to show up. One big.
burly moonshiner making the
remark that he wouldn't do a
thing but pick 'em up and throw
'em into that big pot, when.
suddenly a stick that one of the
officers was standing on, broke
and popped like a pistol. The
officers stated that the moon
sinner didn't wait to throw any
body into the pot. but said what
the little rabbit said when the
dog got after him-"Gone from
here. The officers remained
perfectly quiet, and the moon
sinners hearing no further noise
presently returned to their work.
The officers then Dounced upon
them, capturing one, the other
two escaping in the darkness,
but were recognized and war
rants have been issued for their
arrest. The stillwas destroyed
and a quantity of booze and
beer was captured.
1t seems that Notwithstanding
the fact that the officers are al
ways on the lookout, that the
moonshiners are pretty busy
just now. With corn at a low
price, and booze at a high price
and such a great demand for it,
they run great risks in the man
ufacture of blockade liquor.
But the Quantity of blockade
liquor sold is nothing in COM
parison to the amount shipped
in by express, and if this could
be stopped the officers would
have the situation we'll in hand.

London.-Two big battles, both OF
which may have decisive results, are
raging in Poland, and third of al
most equal Importance is progressing
in East Prussia.
Of the three battles that are now al
it's height between the Vistula and
Warta rivers, and in which the Rus
slams are claiming partial success, is
exciting the most interest. The Ger
mans, it is believed, have brought up
by their lines OF strategic railways IN
Posen and Silesia at least half a mil
lion men in an effort to break the
Russian line here Weather condl-
tions, the frozen ground and the sit
uation of the battlefield favor battle
decisive to a degree not equalled on
any other field in the present war.
The other battle in Poland is taking
place on the Cracow-Czenstochowa
front, and Russians and Germans each
claim it is proceeding satisfactorily.
In East Prussia the Russian advance
is moving slowly through the wild
country surrounding the Mazurian
lakes. In Galicia the Russians are
moving westward and at the same
time are seizing the passes Of the Car
pathians.
There now is almost complete alb
sence of infantry attacks in the west
ern arena and the artillery fighting is
much less violent All that region
about Dixmude through which the
User canal passes is inundated and the
only serious fighting appears to be
taking place south of User, where
cannonading is in progress.
Bad weather, which necessarily
hampers operations, has been expert
enced and snow has fallen in some
places.
There has been no important action
in the French center, but in the Ar
gonne region the Germans have maze
vigorous attacks, which, the French
say, were repulsed. On the French
right wing the Germans have retaken
Chauvon Court, part Of which they
destroyed few days ago. German ac-
tivity in the vicinity of Rheims has
slackened.
Austria's advance into Servia is ere
ating uneasiness in Bulgaria as to the
future of the Balkan states Whether
Bulgaria should remain neutral or
throw in her lot with the allies was
discussed in the sobranje. Leaders OF
the Democratic party suggested that
the allies should be consulted as to
their intentions regarding the future
of the Balkans.
Italy, too, has been affected by the
Austrian advance, and her ambassa-
dors at the European capitals have
been called home to confer>with the
cabinet. Marquis Imperiali, Italian
ambassador to Great Britain, will
leave for Rome shortly.
Big Battle At Soldau
Paris.-A dispatch received here
from Petrograd by the Havas agency
is as follows:
"a terrific battle of unexampled Vio-
lence has been proceeding for four
days around Soldau The cannonad-
ing has been maintained night and
day. The Russians are endeavorlng
at any cost to avenge their check at
Soldau, and are throwing themselves
at the Germans with indescribable
fury

SECRECY is MAINTAINED.

German Advance Apparently Pene-
trates Great Distance Into Poland.
London-The veil Of secrecy has
been drawn over the battles between
the Russians and the Austro-German
forces. Headquarters of both armies
confne themselves to briefest state
ments, saying merely that fighting
continued.
News from unofficial sources, how
ever, shows the German advance mas
penetrated farther into Poland than
previously disclosed. Warsaw IS
threatened for a second time. Cen
eral Won Hindeburg's army has ao-
yanced as far as the LowicZ-Skler-
niewice line.
The battle in East Prussia seems
to have died down but the Russians
continue to advance in Galicia and
still are fighting on the CzenstochoWa-
Cracow front.
The battle in Poland in the direc-
ton Of Lowicz is the most critical one
and the Germans have the greatest
confidence in the outcome but retro
grad military observers declare Rus
sfa's Overwhelming superiority IN
numbers again must tell, as when the
Germans made their first attack on
Warsaw. In Flanders and in France
the armies seem to be enjoying long
deserved rest.
An eyewitness with British head
quarters in a statement made public
gives confirmation OF heavy German
losses at Ypres. He speaks OF de-
cimated battallions, of hundreds OF
dead left before the trenches and OF
hatches Of bodies found IN 1arm
houses. Casulty lists show that the
British forces also have suffered.
The sesvians are making stano
against the Austrians in welf-chosea
fortified positions on the kolubara
River, but as the Austrians command
ennerior forces it seems apparent that
unIess Balkan Estates come into the
-or Seryia is facing defeat.

Little Child Burned to Death

A very sad accident occurred
at Norris last Saturday about 10
O'Clock am, when Joe Jackson,
the six months-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Smith, fell into
the fire and was fatally burned.
It seems that the little child was
sitting in a rocking chair in
front of the fire, when the moth
er went out of the room to get
some wood When she came
back she found the little child
with it's face in the ashes.
Lifelingered with the precious
little one until about 8 O'Clock
Sunday night, when it's suffer
ing ceased and the angels took it
to Heaven. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev. =.
V. Babb and the interment took
place at Enon last Tuesday:
These people have sympathy OF
a host of friends in their bereave-
ment.
