SAYS MAYOR BELL
FURNISHED MONEY
Witness 'Testifies that Mayor Furn
ished Money to Buy Votes and
Hired Repeaters.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 17.—Jas.
Gibbon, one of the city officials who
was indicted in connection with the
election frauds last fall, and which
has resulted in nearly a score of city
and county officials being given pris
on sentences, has entered a plea of
guilty and has promised to tell all
he knows about the frauds.
He has testified that Mayor Bell
furnished the money to bring repeat
ers to the city from Chicago, and paid
for the votes which were brought for
sums ranging from 25 cents to $2.
He has also testified that he helped
work the voting machines which had
been fixed to tally votes without the
counting bells working.
Mayor Bell has appealed for a new
trial and Gibbon’s evidence is in di
rect rebuttal of the evidence submit
ted by Bell’s attorneys that he was
not responsible for creating the fraud
fund, used to buy votes.
EVERY DAY ADVERTISING DAY.
Shrewd Merchants Keep Up Selling
Day the Year Around.
The popular saying that "These
are advertising days” cannot be con
troverted. It is equally appropriate
to observe that “Everyday is adver
tising day” with up to date Ameri
cans.
Shrewd financiers and merchants
do not neglect to advertise in one
form or another almost every day in
the year.
Advertising in the press started
probably longer ago than can be re
membered. China was issuing a news
paper thousands of years ago. In
Europe, advertisements appeared in
the newspapers as early as 1864, and
from that time to this the public has
looked upon advertising with grow
ing favor.
The enterprising man who desires
to buy or sell something does not
overlook newspaper advertising. He
cannot afford to. Experience soon
teaches him the value of letting peo
ple know how he and they can be of
mutual assistance.
Rlch(men in numerous lines of in
dustry made their first money by
carefully consulting the contents of
newspapers. A first-class journal is
full of valuable suggestions which
keen men of affairs know how to use.
It is a good plan for all enterpris
ing citizens ^ho need to get in touch
with the public rightly to realize
that as a rule, every day should be
advertising day. And they should
carely select the right medium for
their newspaper advertisements,
making the same large or small ac
cording to their means. The small
advertiser usually develops into a
large one it he handles his first prof
its judiciously.
MINERS KILLED
ID IDAHO MINE
Dozen Men Buried by Cave In and
Three Dead Bodies Have Been
Brought to the Surface.
WALLACE, Idaho, Sept. 17.—A
cave-in which occurred in a copper
mine near here last night imprison
ed more than a dozen miners and it
is feared that all have lost their lives.
Rescue parties were immediately sent
to the assistance of the imprisoned
men and have succeeded in bringing
the bodies of three of the victims to
the surface.
That any of the men caught in the
mine escaped with their lives is re
garded as doubtful as the cave was
very extensive, and the miners work
ing on the rescue must timber the
mine as they advance in search of
their companions.
