The Republican Herald, of this city was greatly damaged by a quick blaze last Monday morning about 7:30 caused by the explosion of gasoline in a tank on one of machines when the boy was starting a heat in it there was a leak in the pipe it is said which caused the explosion. There was about $1000 damage to the machines alone. The men escaped with their lives with great difficulty as they had a narrow escape. It will be several days before the repairs can be made. We are sorry of this misfortune to Mr. Speckman, the owner and hope he will soon be going again in full blast. He will sustain no loss as he had the outfit insured.

M O Freeze, Pres. Namie Jackson, Vice Pres. GOV. SMALL'S ATTORNEYS SERVES A NOTICE ON ATTORNEYS FOR STATE WILL MOVE TO QUASH THE INDICTMENT Springfield, Ill.. Nov. 26—Attorneys for the Governor, in accordance with the agreement reached some time ago, have filed with State's Attorney C. Fred Mortimore of Sangamon County the specifications supporting the motions to quash the indictments returned against the Governor by the Sangamon county grand jury. These motions will be argued before the circuit court of Lake county, to which a change of venue was taken on account of prejudice, on Dec. 5. The specifications filed by the Governor's attorney's, Charles C. LeForgee, A. F Beaubein and Werner W. Schroeder, reveal the fact that each and every indictment, and every count contained in them, is to be attacked in the Lake County circuit court in a most sweeping manner. The specifications strike at the very heart of all the indictments. They charge, specifically: First--That from the indictments, even if taken at that their face value, charge the Governor with no crime, and no offense, whatsoever, against the State of Illinois. Second--That from everything the State has set up there is no charge of law violation lodged against the defendant. Third--That practically all the indictments it is not even alleged that the Governor ever received any money belonging to the State. Fourth--That the "special return" of the grand jury, filed with the indictmentments; an "explanation" as to "why the grand jury returned true bills," and alleged to be a "review of the evidence," was absolutely in violation of the constitution and statutes of the state, intended only to create an unfair and unwarranted prejudice against the Governor throughout the State, and renders the indictments illegal and void. Attorneys for the Governor point out the fact that their motions to quash are in no manner made for the purpose of delaying actual trial of the case, should the court hold against them and order the case to trial. Weeks ago when the Governor, as he is now, was urging prosecution of the case with all possible speed, chief counsel for the state under appoitment of Attorney General Brundage announced through the press that the case could not reach trial before January. The indictments, counsel maintains, were returned illegally, and with no evidence to justify them They insist that no man in the state of Illinois, be he Governor of the state, farm hand, or day laborer, should be forced to go to trial on indictments returned under such conditions. They are insisting only on his rights as a citizen of Illinois; the rights guaranteed to every one under the constitution and the statutes of the state, the same as they would insist on the rights of any other citizen whom they might be called upon to defend. The specifications, on which will be based the motions to quash, submitted to Mr. Mortimer today, are practically alike as they affect all the indictments. Among the charges will be made affecting the real merits of the controversy are the following: That the defendant, either in the indictment or any count thereof is not charged with the violation of any law. That they fail to allege or charge that any act done or performed by the defendant was in violation of any duties imposed upon him. The indictment does not charge the defendant with any offense under the laws. That they fail to set forth any date when the defendant is alleged to have unlawfully received any moneys or property, nor is the amount set forth. That they fail to charge or name any occasion when the defendant failed to fully account for all money intrusted to his care. The record discloses that the indictment was returned upon evidence heard by the grand jury that fails in any manner to intimate that the defendant ever received funds belonging to the state. That the record discloses an alleged return of the indictment which is unlawful and prejudicial the rights of the defendant. The return of the indictment embodied a return or statement by the grand jury in violation of the constitution and statutes of the state and rendered it illegal void. That this special return was unlawful and was circulated throughout the public press throughout the state of Illinois creating an unfair and unwarranted prejudice and bias against the defendant. That the grand jury was unlawfully selected and organized. There was no "true bill" returned as required by law. They fail to charge that any books, papers or records were ever taken, carried away or destroyed by the defendant. That they fail to allege the essential elements of the crime alleged as required by law. That the allegations in each and every count are repugnant to each other. NOTICE To the members composing the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention.

LOREN SMITH, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Courtney, Helm & Helm Complainant's Solicitors. November 21, A. D., 1922. Invention of Cut Glass. Pressed glass was invented by an humble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass, but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glassmaker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures to be chose. Good Advice.

The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterised by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive feature of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the "rigid" of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Read The Gazette.

ILL Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When this tube inflamed you have a cambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrash Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Let us all go neighbor. ```markdown ``` A "dirigible bomb," that can be steered toward the target by wireless after being let fall from an airplane, is the novel invention of Elmer A. Sperry of Brooklyn. Ordinarily, when bombs are dropped from aircraft, the chances of a miss are great. The speed and altitude of the plane, or balloon, have to be taken into account, and the wind, also. Obviously it would be of utmost advantage if the path of descent of the gravity projectile could be changed at will while it was falling. The Sperry dirigible bomb carries a parachute, which, unfolding as it starts to drop, not only slows the rate of its descent, but incidentally serves as a "drag-rudder." By tilting this drag-rudder in one direction or another the bomb's path of descent is controlled. As the projectile starts to fall, a second and very tiny parachute is liberated from the top of the bomb to support vertically a wire that serves the purpose of an antenna. It is by the help of this antenna that the man in the airplane is enabled so to operate the radio apparatus carried in his machine as to alter at will the angle of the drag-rudder. While the bomb is going down he circles about and steers it by radio. All he has to do to make the bomb turn this way or that is to turn a handle connected with his radio sender in the desired direction. Thus the bomb is made to land exactly where it will do the most good—meaning, of course, the most mischief.—Milwaukee Sentinel. TERM OF ARABIAN ORIGIN? As the Story Goes, the Expression, "Better Half" Comes to Us From the East. Strictly scientific searchers for the origin of the expression "better half," denoting one's wife, have decided that it was coined by Sidney in his "Arcadia." "Arcadia" was written in 1580. However, those less concerned with scientific accuracy claim that an ancient Arabian tale contains the real origin of the expression. This old story tells of a bedouin who was sentenced because in the course of a blasphemous oath he had insulted the name or the honor of his chief. The Arab's wife pleaded for clemency, declaring that not her "whole husband had committed the offense." "Not your whole husband?" asked the sheik. "Nuy," she replied. "It was but the half of him. + For am I not his other half, and I who have never offended thee should not be made to suffer for the sins of the other half, and the guilty half places itself under the protection of the better half." The sheik, so the story runs, thereupon pardoned, the husband, being greatly pleased by the ingenuity of the wife. Bride's Thrift Wasted Dowry. Brides Thirtieth Wasted Dowry. Two daughters of a distinguished Vienna family married in 1912. The younger girl wedded an officer and had to have the "caution money" compulsory to brides in the Austrian army. The mother gave her 100,000 crowns, which included the expense of her outfit. The elder sister only needed her outfit, for which she got 20,000 crowns, while the rest of her dowry—80,000 crowns—was left with the mother, as was also the whole portion of the son, who had settled in Switzerland. Recently, says the New York World, the mother, a widow, wished to pay in full the portion of the two children to whom she still owed money. She sent 100,000 crowns to the son in Switzerland, who received 800 francs from the postoffice for the total amount. His sister got 646 francs for the 80,000 crowns due her. The younger girl's 100,000 crowns would have been worth 105,000 francs in 1912. A Nose for Trade. An Auburn (Mo.) merchant named Myers decided to quit business and offered to sell his stock to a born trader of the neighborhood named Merriweather at what it invoiced, $1,900. "I won't take it at that," said Merriweather. "I'll give you 25 cents for every article and package in the store." Myers thought of his big line of slate and lead pencils worth a cent apiece and agreed. Two men were hired to help check up. Slate pencils, clothespins, packages of chewing gum and papers of pins were listed at 25 cents each, so were automobile tires, barrels of sugar and coffee. An egg was worth as much as a 50-yard bolt of cotton. The result was that Merriweather bought the stock for $1,866.25, or just $33.75 less than it invoiced.—Capper's Weekly. Made Quite Sure. An enterprising company in the Sudan had decided to lay a railway into the wilds, and many blacks were employed in its construction. One day the telegraph clerk at the nearest civilized spot received a telegraph from the negro foreman of the railway constructors: "White boss dead. Shall I bury him?" "Yes," wired back the clerk. "But first make sure that he is quite dead. Will send another white boss tomorrow." A few hours later another telegram came from the foreman: "Buried boss. Made sure he was quite dead. Hit him on the head with a shovel." Dear Pastor, Supt. and S. S. workers I am asking you in the name of the Mt Olive Baptist S. S. Institute to please accept it in your church.

In this issue appearance of the "Old Relief Globe Democrat, to wha your attention. The O bases its claim for you on its absolute fairness. As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrahire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the cause of the Ayrahire and Holstein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not so readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children. Waterproof.

Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business.
