game and the salaries Of county Of
ficers played the important roles in
the two branches of the legislature
this morning. The Senate not being
satisfied with the salaries for the
sheriffs, county and circuit clerks
and prosecuting attorneys, agreed up
on certain figures IN committee some
days ago. but when the bill came up
for second reading in that body
today there was a general scramble
for increases on the Republican side
and decreased on the Democratic side.
the decrease on the Democratic side
coming from the Democratic mem-
bers, presumably for campaign pur-
poses. The exceptions to this rule
ware in Marion county. where Sena-
tor Lowe had the salary of county
clerk increased from $500 to $4,-
900; the intermediate and circuit
clerks from $4,000 to $4,000, ana
prosecuting attorneys. from $4,000
to $4,000. The salary of the sheriff
OF Marion county was left at $4,000
per annum. Only about one-third of

left: unchanged. In Harrison coun-
ty the sheriff is to receive $4,000,
the county clerk $4,000, the circuit

BL IND HYMN WRITER
IS TAKEN BY ANGELS
|FannieS Crosby Dies at an Adj
vanced Age at Her Home
in; Connecticut.

+ BRIDGEPORT, CT, Feb. 12.:
Fannie Crosby, we'll known hymn
writer, died today at her home IN
her ninety-fifth year.
Eight thousand hymns of Christian
worship sung in Protestant churches
throughout the world, are the work
Of Fannie Crosby. No one since the
days Of Charles, Wesley or Isaac
Watts has made anywhere near as
large contribution to the gospel
song book as did the blind writer
whose death occurred today.
Fanny Crosby's name was signed
so regularly as author Of one hymn
after another that the hymn book
makers of a quarter Of q century ago
were forced to give her some 200 DIFF
ferent pen names to make It appear
that some one beside the famous
writer had contributed. Thousands
perhaps hundreds Of thousands
who sang her songs which were
translated into every language, did
not know that 1t was a blind wom-
ans inspiration which they employed
to express their Christian faith and
hope in song.
Saved by Grace, Blessed Assur-
lance. Rescue the Perishing, and
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus" are typi-
cal Of Fanny Crosby's most popular
religious yerses or the latter the
writer has related an incident show
ing the remarkable rapidly with
which she employed her Inspiration
and her talents OF versification.
w. n. Doane, who wrote the music
for many Of her verses, had called
one morning at Miss Crosby's home
In New York.

TRACTION PLANT

Operation.

The first unit driven by 1850
horse power gas engine, will be pu.
into active service tonight at the
Monongahela Valley Traction COM
rany's new plant at Hutchinson. The
second unit, which is the same size as
the first, will be installed March 1,
and the third, April L. This will
mean that power troubles on the

more breaks down the other units,
power plants and sub-stations will
be capable OF furnishing enough cleo
tricity for the cars to operate, with
out the break down being noticed.
The first unit was given a try out
at Hutchinson Wednesday. 1t worked
to the entire satisfaction OF the engi-
lneers in charge. Tonight when 1t IL
placed in use the motormen, conduc-,
tors, officials and others connected
with the company say that they are
sure that 1t will be a success in every
way.
The traction company during tina
past few weeks has experienced very
little power trouble. The only thing
interference with traffic recently were
the landslides of last week, which
made 1t necessary for the company to,
transfer passengers at different points
along the line. However. very little
time was lost on account OF the
slides. 5Is'

nearly every person is familiar, was

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Russian
incnrsion into East Prussia appears
Judging from dispatches reaching
London. likely to be as short-lived as.
were the previous Russian raids into
this same district. Germany's SUI
perb equipment and strategic rail-
ways in this territory have enabled
her within a few days to throw i'm
mense bodies of troops against the
invaders. In the present case the
German soldiers appear to have been
rushed into East Prussia both from
Poland and interior points.
4 Insthe Carpathians the situation
looks favorable to the Russians, who
are pressing against the Austrian
defense at three Of the most impor=
tant mountain passes and this in spite
of the difficulties of snow blocked
roads.
Berlin admits that the Russians
have entered Hungarian territory at
several points in I've Carpathian
district but declares that these posi-
lions were most dearly bought in

In Russian Poland the Germans
hold the belief that Russia is pre-
pairing to fall back to her second line
