INDIANA SMITES RUM
OPTION BILL PASSED BY
TUB IiEGISLATUKE.
Member In Tears us He Voteo for
2ift Passage of Bill a Complete
Viclory for .C.'ov. .Ilanly Tnggnrl
is Gr.etitly Cliagrinned.
The. final vote on the county local
option bill in the Indiana legislature
Saturday , when it was passed by a
vote of 55 to 45 , was a surprise to
both republican and democratic man
agers , as six democrats voted for it
and- four republicans against it.
The .scenes attending the taking of
the vote were intensely dramatic. Ful
ly J > 00 temperance workers were mass
ed in the hall of representatives , and
every vote from an unexpected source
was received with loud cheering.
One member who had been counted
against the bill cried like a child as
he sank back into his daughter's arms
after voting for the bill. He said he
was committing political suicide and
knew if , but pressure had been so
strong from every side that he had
finally decided to yield and take the
consequences.
AVomen wept as he took his seat ,
but : i smile was on his ( laughter's face ,
and it was clear to what influence
he had succumbed after standing
out against the bill till it came up for
passage.
AVhen the vote was announced by
the clerk and corresponded with the
individual tallies that many had been
keeping as it progressed there was a
moment of silence , and then the hall
rang -with cheer after cheer as the
temperance workers marched through
the aisles , shaking hands with the
men who voted for their cause and
with Speaker Branch , who had been
surrounded by a crowd around his
desk.
For more than an hour the con
gratulations continued , and it was not
until the ministers and other workers
actually wore themselves out that they
retired from the hall.

Seven men out of a party of eight
A'ere drowned in the Calumet river at
One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street ,
South Chicago , Sunday night when the
pleasure launch Lemon struck one
of the supports of a railroad bridge
and sank with all on board. The own
er of the launch succeeded in swim
ming to shore and was the only one
saved. A life saving crew and the am
bulances of all nearby police stations
were hurried to the scene.
Owing to a severe storm and a swift
current in the river , which is wide at
that point , it was more than an hour
before the life savers could begin
dredging for the bodies. The work at
last had to be given up. Albert AYest-
gren , the only man saved , was taken
in custody by the police. He said the
only drowned man he knew was John
Prick , his brother-in-law.

MANILA'S CKLKBKATIOX OFF.
Cholera \ViIl Proven ! Kntcrtaimncnt
ol * FJeet.
The effect of .Secretaiy of the Navy
Metca.lFs order that in vic\v of the
presence of cholera in Manila no shore
leave was to be granted or visitors
from ashore allowed on the battle
ships when the fleet arrived has been
largely discounted by the realization
that it would be impossible to cleanse
tlie city before the arrival of the fleet ,
about Oct. 10. The people fully realize
the necessity of the situation , but they
are bitterly disappointed.
Thousands of dollars hove baen
spent in preparation for the reception
and entertainment of the officers and
men. The decorations have been
practically completed. A score of
arches have been erected and thou
sands of electric lights have been
strung for the illumination of the city.
An elaborate program , which repre
sented four months' work by L'oO committeemen -
mitteemen , had been arranged. The
majority of the sentiment now fa
vors a months' postponement of the
program until the return of the fleet
from Japan. That will probably be
the decision of the conference which
Gov. Gen. .Smith has called.
For twenty-four hours , ending at 8
o'clock Friday morning. 42 cases and 6
deaths are reported. This number in
cludes many suspected cases. The
small number of deaths shows that
many cases gathered in the dragnet
are not true cholera.

Fire at Fond du Lac , Wis. , Friday

so burned.
A high wind which prevailed , to

dered the fire department helpless to
cope with the flames. The garage ,
which Avas reduced to ashes in less
than one hour , contained some fifteen
automobiles , none of which was saved ,
and the flames spread to St. Joseph's
church , a $40,000 structure , Avhich is
now in ruins. The total loss was about

Resident * Weary ol' Maintaining In
land County Sent.
A petition was being circulated at

supervisors to submit the question of
county division at the election in No
vember. It has been eight years since
the last county seat fight was pulled

become tired of maintaining the
county seat in an inland town. It is
proposed to cut off the east half of the
county and call it Sautee county after
the Sautee Sioux Indians who will
be located in the northwest corner of
it. It will cause a light for county
scat relocation in Knox county with
Creighton. Verdigre. Niobrara and
Center in the fight. In the proposed
new county are Bloomtield. Crofton
: jnd AVausa , with the former near the
center.
