3, 1905. Indianapolis News Exposes Alleged Bridge Steal at Huntington. Claims Pool Attended Letting of Bridge Contract Here On July 18, 1899 Little River Ditch. The Indianapolis News recently de voted a page or more to facsimile let ters from various bridge concerns showing the division of profits on bridge contracts, to the Wabash Bridge Iron Co. The plan as set forth in these letters is for the companies in the pool to bid so that the work will go to the company for whom it is intended, all other companies bid ding high, and the successful bidder putting the figure altitudinous enough to admit of a distribution of a share of the profits among the unsuccessful bidders, and still leave a handsome margin for the company getting the contract.

The charges of collusion as therein made are sensational and extensive. They cover the whole of Indiana, and do not omit this county. In the charges it is stated that in Huntington, on July 18, 1899, a pool was successfully operated by which a long list of beneficiaries received $20 each from a bridge contract. There was no way by which the officials could prevent a hold up. The state law made it necessary for the agents who submitted bids to make affidavits that they were not in collusion to keep up the contract price, and these affidavits were duly made.

If there was a "rake off" for every company, as the exposure would indicate, the contract price was necessarily advanced to pay it, and some one, or possibly several, committed perjury in order to obtain the contract. In Huntington county, in the last two years, there has been but little construction work done In the bridge line. Prior to that there were some big contracts let. The only bridge work done here lately has been in the line of floor systems, and there is nothing to indicate that there was anything wrong about any of it. Construction of the Ely bridge, over St.

Mary's river, in Allen county, is alleged to have been under one of the contracts in which a number of companies shared the proceeds. The Indianapolis paper continues to show incidents of a crooked appearance, and appeals to the Legislature to strengthen the "anti collusion laws" provided to prevent such pools. Little River Ditch. The viewers on the Little River ditch, from this county, met with those of other counties at Fort Wayne, Thursday, for the purpose of completing the descriptions of properties to be affected by the proposed rain. It is said that the plan of altering the course of Eight Mile creek is considered impracticable by a part of the viewers, at least, and will be abandoned.

No action has been taken thereon, however. WESLEYAN METHODIST REVIVAL. Protracted meeting continues at the Wesleyan Methodist church, and while the attendance last evening was not large, owing to the extremely cold weather, the Interest was good. Several have gone forward to the altar, and Rev. Brown is encouraged with the success of the services.

ELECTION SATURDAY. Clear Creek People Will Vote On the Subsidy Question. "We will carry the election in Clear Creek," said A. E. Weist, in conversation with a Herald man Thursday evening.

"Our poll book shows a nice majority for the road, and we will get out a better vote than we did in Huntington. The people of Clear Creek township are enterprising and progressive, and their interests will be served by the Huntington, Columbia City Northern." Mr. Weist continued his remarks in a vein that showed he had thoroughly canvassed the situation and went into the election without leaving anything undone. The residents of Clear Creek are not all favorable to the proposed subsidy of $5,000. They do not all consider it a good proposition, but.it is generally conceded that the majority of the people are satisfied with the investment and will vote "yes" to the subsidy.

A fairly good vote is anticipated Saturday. TO THE PUBLIC.

A performance of the greatest in terest is announced for the Hunting ton theatre on Friday, Feb. 10, when Nannette Comstock will make her first local appearance as a star in the most successful of all American plays, "The Crisis." Miss Comstock is one of the best known of the younger generation of players, her position on the stage having been assured for many years.

Her best and most important work has heretofore been done in New York so that while she has a wide following in that city, she is less well known locally than many an actress of less importance. The fact that Miss Comstock is to appear at the Huntington theatre should in itself be an event of sufficient importance to draw large and representative audiences, but when the novelty of her appearance is enhanced by the fact that she is to appear in "The Crisis" the engagement assumes large proportions. "The Crisis" is too well known, both as a novel and as a drama, to need much heralding to theatre goers of this city. For four years it has held its place as the most popular and successful play on an American subject. It has been presented in every city from Maine to California, and has yet to receive a single uncomplimentary notice.

During its life over three million people have paid to see the play. The present production of "The Crisis" is said to be by far the most beautiful ever placed on the stage. Mr. Hackett, under whose direction the play is on tour, has a very attractive stage setting for the piece, and has surrounded Miss Commix Ic with what is recognized as the best company which has yet been seen in this popular drama. Better Than Gold "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility," writes F.

J. of Lancaster, N. H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me1 more good than all the medicine I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellet health for years.

She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for female troubles; that that they are a grand tonic and invlg orator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family.1 Try them. Only 50c. Satisfaotion guaranteed by Bradley Bros. feb HIS PIPE WENT OUT A Cartridge Was In A.

J. Adams' Smoking Tobacco. It Exploded and Caused Excitement At His Home on Front Street, Thursday Eyeninij. Excitement ran high at the A. J.

Adams home on Front street, last evening, occasioned by the explosion of a twenty two caliber cartridge which had found its way into Mr. Adams's pipe of tobacco. Mr. Adams is the engineer for the Huntington Mill company, and resides with his family on Front street, in the first residence east of Jefferson street. He had finished his day's work and had gone home.

After partaking of his supper he seated, himself in an easy chair and was about to enjoy the evening paper and a pipe of tobacco. He noticed that a cold draft was coming in about one of the windows, and arose from his seat to see if he could not shut out some of He laid his pipe on the window sill, and it had only been there a few seconds when there was an explosion and the pipe flew into a hundred pieces. At first he could not assign any cause for the explosion, but he happened to remember that he had had some twenty two caliber cartridges in his pocket, and it is presumed that one of these became mixed with his tobacco and was put into the pipe when he loaded it. Mr. Adams, like several of the employes about the mill, usually carries a few cartridges in his pocket for the purpose of loading a target rifle, kept at the mill for shooting rats.

After the explosion he looked to see if he could find the ball, but it could not be located. Fortunately, no damage was done, but he is congratu lating himself that he did not receive any bodily harm, and that the only inconvenience he had was in his pipe going out. AFTER SICKNESS Vinol is a Wonderful Tonic and Strengthener. Bradley Bros. Refund Money In All Cases Where It Fails to Give Satisfaction.

"During the past few months there has been a great deal of sickness of one kind and another in this vicinity," said Mr. Bradley, of cfiradley and I want to say to the people of Huntington that the one thing to aid recovery after sickness is to give the patient a blood building and strength restoring tonic, one that will igve strength to every crgan in the body. "Now," continued Mr. Bradley, "I don't believe there is another remedy in the country equal to our delicious cod liver oil preparation, Vinol, for making pure, rich red blood and building up strength. I say this from an intimate knowledge of almost every medicine on the market, and after considering what Vinol is and has done.

"Vinol contains every one of the body building, medicinal elements of cod liver oil, without one drop of oil to upset the stomach and retard its work, and this, with organic iron, which is a needful constituent for the blood, dissolved in a delicious table wine, makes Vinol. It acts direct on the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, and enables the digestive organs to obtain the necessary elements from the food eaten to make rich, red bleed, and healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and create strength, and you know what you are taking." Continued Mr. Bradley, "We have a good many letters like the following: Mr. A. Ploughkeepsie, N.

writes: 'A severe fever left me in a very week condition, and no matter what I took I could not seem to get any strength, until through a friend I learned of Vinol. Two bottles worked wonders for me, so quickly did it restore my health and strength, and I am fast gaining In weight. Vinol is a wonderful strength "In the strongest manner we unhesitatingly endorse and guarantee Vinol to increase the appetite, cure stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the run down, tired and debilitated and restore health to the convalescent or we will return every dollar paid us for it" Bradley Druggists.
