NOTABLE GATHERING AT
CORNER STONE LAYING

A good sized crowd of visitors attended
the laying of the corner stone of the
beautiful new Lutheren church, at the
corner of Main and Anthony streets last
Sunday, and joined the local congrega-
ton in celebrating the event in proper
style. A male choir from one of the
Dayton Lutheran churches added much
to the musical program, which was en-
ioyed by all. In the morning Rev. M.
c. Hecht spoke in German to the assem-.
bly,, and in the afternoon Rev. E. c.
Stillhorn delivered very instructive and
pleasing sermon. The evening services
were held in the present Lutheran church
with Rev. w. N. Emch, of Ft. Recovery,
formerly pastor of the Celina congrega-
ton, delivering the sermon.

DOUBTS IF ALL
QUALIFICATIONS
For SenatOrship Are Resident In
Membership of Legislature,
and Candidate Scranton
Intimates That the People Have
Radically Different Notion
of the Subject.

The following self-explanatory state
ment has been given out by ex- Judge 5.
S. Scranton, candidate for Senator in the
General Assembly before the Democratic
Primary to be held August IL.
To the Democrats of the Thirty
Senatorial District:
Since 1852, the Democrats of the Thirty
second Senatorial district have all been
my neighbors, one just as near as the
other.
At this time some of the counties have
no candidate and therefore free to do as
they deem best, and have no doubt
they will exercise their constitutional
right for the welfare of the whole district.
1t is in the hands of the voters to deter
mine the qualifications of the candidates.
I have never doubted the eminent fitness
of each candidate for the place, but may
be laboring under mistake.
For more than half a century, let us
see, what class of men we have sent to the
State Senate from the Thirty-second dis
trict. When the record of fifty years is
reviewed we find we have chosen our
State senators from among citizens of all
pursuits in life-lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants, farmers and from every class of
it has never been deemed necessary to
choose the senators from the lower house
of the legislature. II such were the re-
ouisite test for senatorial fitness, then
only few men could attain the honor
able position. At this time the Demo-
Gratis are not stalking everything upon past
Legislative experience, but are willing to
rely upon the honesty, intelligence and
| IA 4, l.. S,fk
In fact the test will be: is he a man
who will look we'll to the interests of the
entire district? The senatorial candidate
must be broad, fair minded man, no
little narrow minded fellow can
expect the votes of the eintelligent think
ing people, nor will the people be mis-
led or deceived. My appeal to the Dem
ocrats of Mercer county is an appeal to
the voters of every county in the district.
The call to support me is sent to every
Democrat from the southern boundary of
Mercer to the northern confines of Will
liams. Allen, Auglaize, Van Vert, Paul
ding and Defiance are part of the dis
trict, each county of which has been hon
ored bv the entire district in the cleo
ton of some one of their favorite sons,
at some time in the history of the district.
| All these counties are my nearest neigh
bors, and as such l have worked with
them and for them.
The Thirty district has been
ably represented in the past. If nomi-
mated and elected shall endeavor to do
my best as a senatorial representative
and hereby faithfully promise to use my
best efforts for the welfare of the district
as a whole. s. 5. SCRANTON.

Nish, Servia (via Athens), July 30
The Austrians bombarded Belgrade
for several hours from three gun
boats, which are at the junction of the
Danube and the Sava. The fire was
directed mainly at the barracks in the
capital, but other public and private
buildings were hit by the shots. These
included the Franco-Servian and An
drevitch banks. A banker who was in
the latter was wounded. The officials
of both banks made protests to the
German legation.
The Servians did not reply to the
fire. Part of the bridge across the
Sava from Belgrade to Semlin was de-
stroyed and is now in such a condi-
tion that it can not be used. Artillery
fighting is going on at Vichnitz, near
Belgrade.

Council at It's session Tuesday night took
up the matter Of erecting bulletin boards
calling attention to the new traffic Ordi-
nance and speed limit. The noise of the
horses hoofs might be curtailed some II
farmers would have 'em fitted with rubber
shoes well inflated.
The matter OF moving 80 feet OF hitching

amended, however, by authorizing the con-
struction OF 200 feet more. Council is not
ready to suppress all traffic yet, for which

tIonary Measure.
Berlin, July 90-Several German
regiments have moved toward the
Russian frontier as a precautionary
measure. Official advices received
here indicate military activity on the
Russian side Of the border, although
the German military authorities are
informed that no mobilization order
has been issued by the Russian war
office
Anti-war demonstrations conducted
by Serbs at Stuttgart resulted in such
serious rioting that police were unable
to cope with the situation and troops
were called out. The manifestants in
vaded the district in which the foreign
legations are situated and stoned the
buildings.

THE WARNES TAX
LAW IN ACTION
District Assessor Morrow Points
Out In n Plain Way What IL
Has Accomplished.

To the Tax Payers OF Mercer County:
In view Of the fact that the assessment
of both real and personal property has
been completed and our tax duplicates
are made up and the increase in valua
tions in the various taxing districts have
been ascertained, and since the Governor
has called the Legislature together and
reduced the State rate from .96l mill to
$50 mill, which was made possible on
account of the vast increase in the valua-
tions in the State, il is well a statement
be made on a matter that so plainly con-
Germs us all, since so many of our tax
payers have been anxious to know
whether or not our tax rates in Mercer
County will or will not be reduced for
the year 1914.
In regard to these matters, beg leave
to make the following statements:
We find there has been an increase on
valuations in Mercer County of more
than a million, nine hundred thousand
dollars 81, 900, 000), and an increase in
the State of nearly one billion dollars,
and as above stated, the State rate has
been reduced to little less than one
half of last years rate.
Therefore, see no reason why the
rate should not be reduced in every
township or taxing district in the coun-
ty in proportion to the increase. in valu-
ations in the various taxing districts, in
addition to the reduction in the State
rate, unless there should be some dis
tricts that were making some new inn
provements.

County Auditor StInebrunner
on the Job

Your County Auditor, Mr.. Steinbrun-
ner, who is a member of the Budget
Committee, is preparing a table showing
the valuation and tax rates in the vari-
Gus taxing districts for the year 1913,
and the valuations, and the tax rates
necessary for 1914, so as to raise the
same amount of money for township and
school purposes in each taxing district
as was raised in 1918, and he finds the
tax rates can be reduced any
where from six tenths of a mill TO
one and a half mill, or i'm other
words, from 9 cents to Is cents
ON a hundred dollars, and he ex-
poets TO insist that the rates be
reduced wherever IL Is possible
to have them reduced.
But if it should happen that there
should be some taxing districts in the
county, that the rate cannot be reduced,
the taxing boards should be able to show
their tax payers good reasons for not
reducing the rates, and if the people are
getting value received for the money
paid through taxation they should be
satisfied. Yours respectfully,
J. i. MORROW,
District Assessor Mercer County.

Father p. J. MacCorry is here next
Sunday. The Celina Chautauqa is in
deed fortunate in having secured him for
its program. Father MacCorry has, dur
ing his active work in the church, been
identified with the Paulist Fathers, and
his duties have been largely those of in
struction. He comes to us highly recon-
mended by the bureau and the press.
Another strong feature of Sundays
program will be the Schildket Orchestra.
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago the
Schildket orchestra made its debut in
this country, coming from Hungary.
They were especially engaged in concert
work in Chicago by Mrs. Potter Palmer,
of the ladies committee at the Worlds
Fair. This orchestra played at most OF
the important concerts and social affairs
during the year. They were also engag-
ed for a season at old Vienna, and receiv-
ed the first gold medal for their work.
Since that time they have played all
through the east and returned to Chicago
in time to play for Prince Henry on his
tour through this country some years ago.
While IN Washington Mr.. Schildket
played at the Washington park club,
which was attended by Miss Alice Roos-
evelt, and later he was summoned to
Washington to play for her wedding.
The SchildSet orchestra includes a
soloist, a pianist, violinist and fiutist.
Mr.. Schildket himself is one of the great
est flute soloists in the world and has
few peers as a leader. He has studied
the wants of Lyceum people and knows
at once what to give the public in the way
of concert programs.

Where the Shoe Pinches

The above law is thorn III Republican
flesh. 1t is the fly in the amber. Secre-
tary of State, Charles Graves, says he
will enforce the law tothe letter. Graves
is State Supervisor of Elections. What
he says goes. There is no use in Bull
Moose voters taking chances on paying
a big fine or going to prison, just to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for stand-pat Re-
publican candidates.
These Republican stand-patters are
making big noise and say that Graves
is unfair They ctiticize him loud and
long. Graves comes back with punch.
He searched the records. He made dis
coveries as follows:
/. The law was enacted in 1904 by a
legislature that was Republican.
z. The law was signed in the House by
Speaker Thomas, Republican.
8. The law was signed in the Senate
by President Harding, Republican.
a. The law was signed and approved by
Governor Herrick, Republican.
S. The law was filed in Secretary of
State office by Laylin, Republican.
s. The law is being kicked and cussed
in 1914, by Republicans.
7. The law will not permit Bull Moos-
ers to vote in Republican Primary.
g. The law has never been repealed
and is still in full force.
g. The law will be enforced by DEM
ocratic Secretary of State.
TO- The joke is on the Republicans.
On Primary Election Day.
When the voter comes to the polls on
Primary Election day, he will be asked
which ticket he voted two years ago. He
must tell which party ticket he voted in
1912, before the judges will permit him
to have a ticket to vote. Any person can
challenge his vote. If this is done, the
voter viii have to be sworn and answer
questions that may be asked. If a man
was talking Bull Moose two years ago,
witnesses may be sworn and testify. The
same may be done with any other party
voter.
The law is a good law. Before it was
passed George B. Cox could furnish
enough Republican votes in the Demo
cratic Primary Election in Cincinnati to
nominate the weakest men and machine
candidates in the Democratic party. 1t
is necessay to safeguard the Primary
Election and nomination of candidates.
No Democrat should make a mistake
in voting at the Primary Election.
