THO NfiW DISTRICT.
Jefferson, Indiana. Clarion anil Arm
strong Counties Compose 17(11
Congressional District.
Last Wcilnosilny evening the loglsltt
turo pHHsod n now congressional appor
tionment bill, which puts .lelTermm
county In tho 2"th district, composed of
Jefferson, Imllnnn, (,'lnrinn anil Arm
strong comities. We were In tho li 1 t
district, composed ol .Jefferson, 1 milium,
ArmUrong and Westmoreland counties.
Tho only chnngo in our district Is West
moreland for Clarion county. Tho pop
ulation of tho new district Is I S V,,,:'t
and Jefferson Is the largest county in
tho district. .r!t,l nllnoHt one-thlrd of
population of the entire district.
This ought to givo Jefferson county
tho Hepubliean candidate for (.'on Kress
next year, and that candidate should lie
lion. V. O. Smith. All thing consid
ered, tho HepnhliciniH of Jefferson coun
ty should (five Smith the nomination
without opposition. Why not? Ho
has the ability, has hnil e.vperieneo and
has made two contests for the congress
ional nomination, being Indorsed both
times by tho voters of .Jefferson county
by large majorities, and for this reason
ought to bo given tho nomination next
year without opposition, and likely will.
Smith's record in tho legislature
proves him to bo nn aide, honest nnd
zealous legislator, worthy and capable
in every respect to represent tho l!"lh
district in tho halls of Congress. His
record Is so clean that tho only charge
his political enemies can bring nguinst
htm Is that ho has been a cundidato of
ten enough and that ho should retire
nnd give somebody else n chance. That
is not a serious charge, in fact, it should
strengthen his eandidi'cy with thought
ful people.
When a typo setter In tho govern
ment printing olllco 11 1 Washington
Smith's ambition then, nnd has been
ever since, was to be n Congressman
some time, nnd ho began to prepare
himself to be able to fill tho olllco cred
Itibly If over elected to Congress. With
this In view Smith placed himself Iss
foro tho people for Assemblyman as a
stepping stone to Congress, and in tho
legislature ho did not betray tho con II
deneo of his constituents, he looked .lif
ter tho Interest of tho peoplo, and not
his own. His Integrity has never boon
questioned. Therefore, it would 1m fol
ly to turn a worthy, capable and experi
enced man down simply because he had
represented tho people faithfully in tho
legislature several times and hud lccn
nominated twice for Congress, but fail
ed to get the district nomination. For
this very reason Smith would bo tho
strongest man In tho conferenco that
tho Itopubllcans of Jefferson county
could nominate.
Whilo Smith Is a citizen of Punxsu-
tawnoy, yet wo do not forgot that ho
was born and reared in lleynohlsville
and Is In close touch with ull our in
terests. Rural Mail Boxes.
Under the Star Route mail carries'
now contracts which went Into effect
July 1st, froo rural mall delivery be
comes operative along tho mail route.
Tho new ruling provides that any per
son erecting a mull box along a star
route line can have his mall placed
thorein dally upon giving his postinast
er a written ordor to that effect.
Any mail can thus bo delivered except
registered letters. Tho department
does not describe any particular design
of box to be used for this service, but
the person providing tho box should
see that It Is of such character as to af
ford ample protection to his mall. Tho
box should be so located on tho road
aide that the carrier can deposit mall
therein through an oponlng in tho' box,
without leaving his vehicle.
The last legislature passed a bill
prohibiting the sale and furnishing of
tobacco to persons under sixteen years
old. The penalty is a fine not exceeding
(100.00 or Imprisonment not exceeding
30 dayg, or both.

Disorderly Conduct.
A good many persons seem to be un
aware when they aro guilty of disorder
ly conduct. They do all sorts of things
In public, in tho streets, Ht public gath
erings nnd in street cars and elsewliero
and upiear to think they havo a perfect
right to annoy every one near them by
word and deed. A recent legislature
enactment may ho referred to bore for
tho benefit of such persons. Any nnn
who tnnkes, or causes to bo uinile, any
loud, boisterous and unseemlngly noise,
or who, by using profane or obseono
language, disturbs or annoys any one
who is a pnssengur on any railroad or
railway ear, or who may bo a visitor at
any picnic grounds kept for public
amusement, whereby the public peace
Is illsturlx'd or broken, shall lie deemed
guilty of the offense of disorderly con
duct, and, If convicted of tho same be
fore tiny magistrate shall bo sentenced
to pay tho costs of prosecution and a
fine of ton dollars, nnd In default of such
payment, shall lie sent to county jail for
not moro than thirty days. The law Is
abroad one, and Instances occur almost
dally within tho notlco of most readers
which fall within its provisions. What
is lacking Is moro general enforcement
of It. Milton Sliintlml.

The lat ter half of tho month will bring
strange phenomenal nnd earth disturb
ances or phenomenal weather. Tho
sunset, also tho sunrise Bcenes this

therefore watch out, for this grand pic
ture which nature supplies for tho poor

hurricanes and cyclones will mark a
hard record In some of tho western and
southern states, and violent hull, wind
und rain storms wl'.l visit tho eastern
states.
