The following account Is taken Irani The Warren Comity Demo­ crat, Monmouth, 111,, which speaks highly of a former Odam lUan that is a candidate for high honors In that county. “ For the ’office of state senator from the 32m District, Warren County presents the Hon. David Turnbull lor the Democratic nomi­ nation, subject to the decision of the primaries, AprilOth. Mr. Turnbull is qualified iu every way to fill the position for which he is a candidate, and there is no ques­ tion as to hfis willingness and ability to serve his district and. the state al large in the most acceptable aiid , creditable manner. He has hosts of enthusiatic friends, is a strong and energetic campaigner, and if he gets the nomi­ nation will be a winner. The following sketch of his life ■clearly demonstrates the character abd fitness of the man. David Turnbull was born atCedar- vllle, Greeny, County, Ohio, Febru- ary 4, 1837, a son of'.John and Margaret (Allen) Turnbull. John Turnbull, who was born at Nash­ ville, Tenn., was a son of William and Margaret (Marshall) Turnbull, the first a native of Scotland, the latter a native of Virginia. Mnr- . garefc Allen, who Was born at Spring- boro, Ohio, was In the maternal line, af least, of Irish extraction. The subject of tbissketch was edu­ cated at Cedarville, anctm 1883 be­ gan business as a furniture dealer and undertaker in Cedarville, O. * 'H e located in Monmouth in Janu­ ary 1884, where he conducted an un­ dertaking and iivery business fora number of years giving up the livery business in 1903and devoting all his time- to undertaking in,, which .lie has met merited success. In 1890 lie was elected sheriff on the Democratic ticket, and so well .did fie fill this important offlet, tbaf he Was again elected in 1888, He has the distinction of being one of only two Democrats elected sheriff of Warren County since 1860. From ItOo to 1898 he ably served the' city of Monmouth on th&Board of Alder­ man. ‘ For a long period o f years he has occupied the honorary position of treasurer of the Fire Depart­ ment, and has actively contributed his time to the welfare, of this efficient organization.. - At present lie is chief of the local camp of Woodmen, and clerk of the state organization. He is also an active member of the B. P. O. Elks. Mr. Turnbull was married af Xenia, Ohio, to Miss Ida Btevens, and they’have one son, J. Maxwell Turnbull and one daughter, Miss Hois Turnbull. One son, llobert Turnbull, died in 1892, Mr. Turnbull is numbered among the successful public spirited men of the community, aiid It is safe to say that if he is sent to the senate he will return with clean hands and an honorable record. Dispatches state that Attorney 'General Hogan will come to this county on April 2 to assist- Prose­ cutor Jonnson in probing the! election frauds last fall when it is} claimed that Dr. Fees was counted j out in the Fourth Ward, Xenia, [ Judge Kylo has agreed to eall the grand jury at the above date to ac­ commodate Mr, Hogan, who has been busy prosecuting the bribery charges against several members of the legislature, Attorney General Hogan is said to be a fearless examiner before grand and petit juries and his, interest in the cases has caused con­ siderable comment as'to where tho investigation might end, as reports have been onm nt that friends of Win. Neeld in Xenia will insist on his prosecuting similar charges when he was defeated for mayor fewyetrs ago.- Should the Neeld case be taken up, and there is ho reason why It should not, several prominent professional men. in the city may get to toll of their interest, in the Neeld defeat at this time. k This Saloon Is Operate* dorsed by Dr. S.

It has become a problem now-a- days to know where men stand'on the liquor question, particularly Is this so since the dr.vs in - the con­ stitutional convention turned wet and the wets turned dry. Men elected to oppose license deliber atoly compromised-with the forces of evil for the mere purpose of win ning the political game, for it must be remembered, the con con has so far proven but a training camp, for a large per cent of the delegates, who lust for the public office, from governor clown to the jusUce court. On the question of temperance a man is either wot or dry: no other position being recognized Until within the past ton days when' the anti-saloon league established what might be termed the “ damp crowd’’, those \v:hado not want to be too wet or too dry, or the “ middle of the renders” . t , Two weeks ago when we stated that Greene county’s delegate, Dr. S. D, Fess, voted directly opposite to the platform upon which he was elected, we meant just what we said and will not back up now and take an excuse for .bis. action as a reason­ able answer. The Greene County Tribune, self- designated organ of temperance forces, takes issue with our state­ ment concerning Dr. Fess In that it is manifestly unfair, but we do not find any lengthy article endorsing the license proposition oilier than the Dr’ s, excuse .to his constituents for his license vote. If \ye remember correctly, and flic Tribune files will prove our state­ ments, from lasfcO space have been anything that led liquor traffic. On Tribune stated i license problem: stale has refused level of the saloon mentas to regula something iu the business that mnk possible.*’ In another issue t; of the “ No Incan* Col ambus, a r folio not a word that so promise, anff the them, were hard men.’* Another yon have got a con fuses to lictnsfe the God’ s sake ■keep Berry.

Tlie proposition of one saloon to each 308 people is a sham as proven’in New York style. . If, makes little difference on the morals of a community whether there is one, two or thrue saloons. The joker of the whole proposition is the following:. “ The keeper of a Horse Thief Makes Escape. Harry Lee, alias John Walker, indicted horse thief, made good his escape from the county jail Monday night by the aid nt a pal that had entered the sheriff’s residence through a basement window, ^’or years tho ceil keys have been kept m a certain closet and the pal, evt dently having accurate information as to the interior of, the residence, secured Ibe keys and secured the prisoner without liberating two other, prisoners, Ed .

Howe in the realm of animated photography since his last appearance here will be demon­ strated a the Fairbanks Theatre on Friday, March 20th, for three, per­ formances, when many features will be presented in all tho glory "of nature’s own colors, Since hie last appearance in Springfield he has made an entire change of pictures.
