MR. BEVERIDGE.

Something About the N*xt United States Senator from Indiana.

Albert J. Beveridge, nominated by the Indiana Republican caucus for United States senator, wan born during the civil war on a farm on the border of Highland county, O. His father and all his brothers were awav at the war and at the close of that struggle Beveridge's father lost all of his property and the family moved to Illinois.

From the age of 12 young Beveridge's life was one of hardship. When 12 he was a plowboy, at 14 he was working

to enter DePauw

University. He got through his first year by working as steward of a club, and by the end of the year he had taken prizes in philosophy, science, and oratory sufficient to pay two years' expenses. While in MB senior year he won tho first prize in the inter-scate oratorical contest. He was compelled to begin college late each year and quit early in order to go to work. The strain proved too much for him, and, to recover his health, Mr. Beveridge went west, and for some time lived with the cowboys.

He then came to Indianapolis, where he read law in the office of Senator McDonald. At the end of the first year ha was made managing clerk.

After his admission to the bar the cases which came to him were of tho greatest, importance, and his first pleading before a court was in the supreme court.

His career as a political speaker commenced in the Blaine campaign. His first address was in a blacksmith shop in Parke county, and he has passed through every stage to that of invited guest of the most prominent clubs in the country.

In 1S95 he was invited by the buiun League club of Chicago to respond to the toast of honor at their Washington's birthday banquet, and this address created such a sensation that he was requested to close the Republican national campaign at the Auditorium in Chicago.

For this purpose a committee from the Marquette club and the national committee was sent to Indianapolis to extend the invitation.

The address delivered by Mr. Beveridge at that time attracted widespre:\d attention, as it was a reply to the speech of Altgeld in support of the state rights plank of the Chicago plat-' form. I

The bar association of Pittsburg invited Mr. Beveridge to deliver the an-' nual address before that organization, and his addresB on "The Vitality of

the American Constitution" was such a mast'.'-rly one that it was printed by the assoc'atiou.

Mr. iieveridgo next delivered the principal addrees before the Republican club of New York at its celebration. of Lincoln's birthday. At tho celebration of Grant's birthday in 1S9S Mr. Iieveridgo was invited to the Middlesex club of Boston to deliver the principal address.

Be was aiso invited to speak before the peace jubilee in Chicago and to close the campaign in Massachusetts, but declined both ou account of prior ent,Agcments in this state.

He has never sought political c-tlice, and.-with tho exception of tho timo specs ia giving these addresses has do voted himself to his law practice. Mr. Bet Bridge married a Miss Laugsdale. of ireencastie, but has no children.

FARMER POLITICIANS.

Thti .iDdianapollH Sentinel T«lls Wliiit Winpito anil Cnii!,-i'i' Hnvc DIIIIB,

Tn(]iane.polis Sentinel: John Wing-ato and Sid Gonger are two men who, above all others, are strictly in it as politicians, to whom some attention will be paid from now on. Both were original Beveridge men and were at work for the Indianapolis candidate when they had to stand battering on all sides as a consequence. Both stood by their man faithfully in the face of all obstacles. Mr. Conger was given charge of Mr. Beveridge's interests in the fourth and sixth districts, and gave Beveridge nine votes, which did more to strengthen his forces than any other additions he secured. John Wingate brought Scott into the Beveridge camp from the ninth district and did much work in the twelfth. Thus these two men gave Beveridge ten votes from outside the Beventh district, which put him in the fight and won hitn the election. And it is to be remembered that these same two farmers (for they are both farmers) were the vo original Mount men who were boon ing James A. Mount for governor two years before he was nominated and "era at work for him at a time whai.Mr. Mount himself laughed at lhefi-^:tfort3 as being beyond the realm of possibility. So Indiana Republicans will in the future pay some very close attention to these two farmers. Any aspirant for office had better not say anything about Plymouth Rock chickens or the Methodist church at Wingate with the memorial windows.

Wliut Wingato says.

Indianapolis News: John Wingate, who was conspicuous as the manager of the Beverage campaign, said to-day in speaking of the result: "Our senatorial contest has been a very spirited one, as you know, but I feel that the result justified the effort because of the universal good feeling it has engendered among tho people everywhere. "Mr. Beveridge's selection as United States senator is especially a happy one, because it is a triumph for all the people. He represents no class, no faction, no discord his selection does not mean that any man, 'or set of men, are downed: it only means that Mr. Beveridge i.s to be elected United States senator, and to his recognized fitness for the place is due his election, lie had a hundred and fifty or two hundred managers, but, with his groat ability, energy and tact ho succeeded in managing his managers, and was successful in spite of them. The people of Indiana are proud of Mr. Beveridge, and they may well bo. "Mr. Beveridge's candidacy has left no sore spot. His friends were for him and against no other candidate, and now that he is successful they are jubilant, but not arrogant. They realize already the difficulty of finding a man who is not the original Beveridge man, and they are willing that each and all may be considered aB such."

The I'liMhers.

Connersville News: The senatorial caucus is over, and Albert J. Beveridge has won a most signal victory. Less than two months ago, after the election was over, and the Republican party had triumphed, Mr. Beveridge, at the earnest solicitation of friends, decided to enter the race for senator. He had no organization, and did not oven enjoy the prestige of having been a recognized candidate, as was the case with others in the race. Surrounding •himself by a few active friends, prominent among which were John Wingate, of Wingate John Bonnell, of Crawfordsville D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis Eugene Bundy, of New Castle Sid Conger, of Shelbyville, and our own Jim Mclnto&h, he proceeded to effect an organization, and went in to win.

FINAL SETTLEMENT.

Uofuiict'Order of Kiuity ray* Its Stockholders 1 Cent, on the Hollar.

Tho defunct Order of Kquity, of Indianapolis, which caught a large number of Crawfordsville peoplo when it went under some timo ago. has mado a final settlement. The stockholders liavo received ono cent on every dollar they invested. The largest amount received by any ono hero was 83.50, others getting from ^1.50 to $2.r0. When tho association made ati assignment there was $11,000 in tho treasury according to the statement, filed in tho court by the receiver, but continued litigation reduced the total to $3,000 with which 1,000 claiiriH have been satisfied.

Sulphur mid lirlp.

George T. Angell gives these observations concerning tho ellicaney of sulphur as a preventative and euro of grip. Ho says: "It is a fact that when it was prevailing as an epidemic largely in our city a few years ago I ascertained, by inquiry of officers at Byam's match factory that of the forty-three persons employed there not one had been troubled by it. I have at various times told the press how many at Memphis, Tenn., (including the agents of the Howard Benevolent association), escaped the terrible epidemic of yellow fever there (as they claimed), by wearing powderc 1 sulphur in their ahoes—also the evidence of a distinguished German medical writer, translated into English, that wearing sulphur in this way hafe proved a complete protection against cholera and other epidemic diseases also that those working the sulphur mines of Italy escape the malaria which prevails all about them also that sulphur in the shoes has cured various cases of rheumatism also that sulphur taken internally or worn in the shoes has sufficient power to pass through the body, the clothing and the pocket-book, blackening the silver there."

A GREAT COMBINATION. Reading matter for the coming year should be arranged for now. We would suggest the following combination as a hard one to beat: THE CRAWFOunaviLMS JouitNAr, J] 00 The New York Tribune 1.00 Tho Chicago InIcr-Ueean 1,00 'JChe Agricultural Kpilumist 50

But we offer the entire combination For

Or THE JOURNAL,and Tribune for S1.U6 Or THE JOUKMAL tiud'lnlcr-Occaii for 1.35 Or THE JouitNAr, and /CpUomist for 1.25

We desire to call especial attention to the Ayi iciiltural Epilomlst published at Indianapolis. It is already recog nized as one of the leading agricultural papers of the country and has a tremendous circulation. But it will be greatly improved during the coming year by the addition of a 10-page supplement, giving full reports of all. the county farmers' institutes held in the state of Indiana. This will make it invaluable to every Indiana farmer, and we expect that hundreds of our readers will take advantage of the low rates above mentioned to get in touch with the ideas of the progressive agriculturists of the state.

A lie ii On.

There promises to be developments in the Democratic newspaper muddle in Crawfordsville before the end of the week. It can be positively stated that all plans and hopes for consolidation have been abandoned and the only method now left to clear the field is annihilation. It is whispered that one of the papers is to be rehabilitate! and manned with anew crew. This will sail in aud, boosted by the party management, will ondeavor to crowd all opposition to the wall.
