Everyone in Orawfordsville and the county is invited to get a cane and white hat and come along to whoop things up. The fare for this all day ride is only fifty centB. Passengers will be received only at Orawfordsville,

A RATTY EVIEW.

The Political PrognoRttcator of the Indianapolis Hews Is at it Again.

The following humorous article appears in the Indianapolis News: "The political situation in the Ninth congressional district presents a variety of complication. Friends of Charles B. Landis profess confidence in his ability to secure renomination, but it is apparent that he will not have a walk away. He has learned the explosive force of a postoffice—several of them, indeed—and the debris represents serious obstacles. The opposition to the Delphian is so scattered, however, that it is doubtful if it can be made effective. Ex-Congressman Dan Waugh, of Tipton, has been urged to enter the race against Landis, but he has llitly declined. He has exper ience, intelligence, popularity and ability, but he insists thtft he has no further ambition for office-holding. Ex-Senator Boyd, of Hamilton county, is 'also mentioned,' but there are others in his county who have heard tbe buzzing of the congressional bee from time to time, and it is probable that these differences, as usual, will result in disappointment to all concerned. Hamilton county has always been unfortunate in this respect. It gives the largest maj rlty, and is really the de pepdabce of the Republican party in the district, but for some reason or other, it has never heartily agreed on a candidate. This has been so in almost innumerable instances heretofore, and the county is even now confronted by the same conditions. The county has too many statesmen, it appears, or not enougti of the right sort, or something. At any rate, it loses in each district convention with a regularity that is disheartening to tbe faithful, and positively disgusting to ambitiouB aspirants.

"There is aUo an element of uncertainty as to the Democratic nominee for congress in district 9. Some of the leaders express confidence that, in case of LandiB* nomination, they will be able to defeat him, owing to dissatisfaction among Republicans who have not shared in the distribution of patronage, but they are not agreed on a man to be commissioned to raise the political scalp of the young Delphian. The trend seems to be largely in favor of Oapt. David P. Allen, of Frankfort. It is being urged in his favor that he is available, popular, and, of course, 'logical.' He distinguished himself

RISING BREAST

an officer in the 10th Indiana volunteers, during tbe civil war, he commanded a company in the 158th during the Spanish-American campaign, and he was recently commissioned a captain of a company to be assigned to service in the Philippines. He is possessed of an independent fortune, and is an excellent 'mixer.' He has repeatedly proclaimed himself an ardent expansionist, and is saturated with tbe free silver theory. To be snre, this represents to some minds an aggressively spectacular example of political inconsistency, but a little thing like that will not have weight with his followers. They will be for 'Dave,' no matter whether he is on the one side of the fence or the other, or astride it, for all that. Private Joe Oheadle is likewise enumerated with some degree of fervor in the vague list of those who are 'also mentioned,' but the predominating disposition is to clasB him with the 'has beens "He first achieved prominence by being nominated by the Republicans as a sort of compromise candidate for congress. He served with some dis

tinction, bat finally, after failing to secure a third indorsement at the hands of the Republicans, he became Borely disgruntled, and gradually drifted into the camp of.j the allied Democrats) and Populists. For the last several yearB he has passed by stages out of prominence, and it is not within the irange of reasonable probability that he will ever again assume the importance of a for midable figure in aftiirs. The race in the ninth in the campaign of 1900 will be between Landis and Allen, and it may be accepted as an assured fact that there,will be no lack of interest in it from start to finish."

If the News prophet will remember, all the postofiices in the district were awarded long before the convention of two years ago in which Landis had no opposition. Is it likely, therefore, that the resentment of those who. failed to be favored would just begin to manifest itself? If Landis. has opposition in the next convention it will be on other ground than postoffices. The fact of the matter is that the News prophet wanted to say something— and, knowing nothing, gave voice to the firat thing that .popped intoihis head.

His talk on Dave Allen's certainty of nomination is just about as cheap gossip as the other. Hannibal Yount, of Fountain, has a big lead in the race and will doubtless land it. Allen will figure just about as Btrongly as he did two years ago, when, with all his money and his 'mixing,' he could not show against a Bcruby old plug like JoeCheadle.

Social Jar For Mrs. Mullin. Cora Mullin, the fat news-maker of the Monon station neighborhood, was up before the mayor on Wednesday on a charge of having (struck Mrs. Charley Edwards in tbe small of the back with half a brick. Mrs. Mullin stopped chewing gum long enough to admit her guilt. Judging sfrom where she kept her money, the stuff to pay the fine bad evidently been left her by Santa Olaus, and the mayor and Marshal Brothers blushed painfully when Bhe reached after it.

MOTHER'S FRIEND

ARE BECOMING TIRED

Insurgents Seek Permission to Parley With General 'Otis at Manila.

FILIPINOS AREWEAKENING

Proffer to Deliver American Prisoners Believed to Be a Kuse by Affuinaido In Order to Gain Time—Hostilities

Will Not Cease While Negotiations Are in Progress.

Washington, Sept. 20. Secretary Root received a cablegram from General Otis late yesterday that seemed to indicate a weakening on tho part of the insurgents in Luzon. It contained a proffer to deliver the American prisonera who have been for so many months in the hands of the insurgents, and also Bought permission to parley with General Otis.

This cablegram was at once taken by Secretary Root over to the cabinet meeting and formed the main topic for discussion at the beginning of the session. However, upon reading the message carefully, its apparent importance Beemed to diminish. Secretary Root himself did not regard the matter as of importance at this time. He recalled frequent efforts on the part of the insurgents in the past to gain time at critical moments by opening negotiations, ostensibly with the object of making peace, and he was not sure but this last offer was something of the same kind. However, the secretary was of the opinion that it would fail to afford the insurgents any advantage.

General Otis would receive any messenger and listen to him and make answer to his proposals, but this wonld not restrain the military operations in the slightest degree and the American arms would lose no ground, no matter how the negotiations turned out. There is a possibility that the insurgents may have become disheartened at the renewed and intense activity in the direction of reinforcing General Otis aud concluded, in view of the great force gathering to open the campaign in the dry season that further resistance would be useless.

It is pointed out as a noticeable fact that Aguinaldo's name does not appear in General Otis' dispatch aud though this may not be of great significance still among some of the army officers it is surmised that there are serious dissensions among the insurgents and that perhaps some of the discordant elements are acting1 on their own respousLbilit}'.

YOUJVCJ

HOON

Was Guilty of Forgery In Trying to Obtain Promotion. "Washington, Sept. 20. Secretary Root has sent the following letter to Governor Bush el lot' Ohio: "Your letter of Sept. 14 to the president, inclosing a letter from Lawrence F. Hoon relating to his conviction by courtmartial in the Philippine islands, has been referred to me for reply. "I have the honor to inclose a copy of a dispatch from General Otis, by which you will see that the young man was regularly tried and convioted for attempting to secure promotion by means of a petition upon which he forged the names of six noncommissioned officers and privates of his company that the trial was at the instance of his regimental commander, and that the sentence was approved by General Lawton."

SEN ATOM FAIRBANKS

Member of the Joint High Commission In Washington. Washington, Sept. 20.—Senator Fairbanks is in Washington, having come here for the purpose of inducing the president to visit Bvansville, Ind. Although General John W. Foster, another member of the Canadian high joint commission, is expected in Washington today there will be no meeting of the Amerioan commissioners immediately, as Senator Fairbanks is about to return at once to Indiana, There has been no change of late in the status of the negotiations for a modus vivendi relative to the Alaskan boundary line.

Russian .Livestock Trade. Washington, Sept. 20.—The Russian government is making an effort, of which the state department is informed through report by United States Consul Heeuan at Odessa, to compete with the United States for a share of the British cattle trade. Russian cattle, hogs and other animals have been excluded from England heretofore, bat the Russian government has seenred the appointment of a committee of expert English veterinarians, who are to be taken all over the Russian cattle oountry at the government's expense, to ascertain the exact condition of the ranges, with a view.to the removal of the prohibition.

Tbe Brooklyn May Be Assigned Schley. Washington, Sept. 20.—The Brooklyn, which was Admiral Schley's flagship off Santiago, may be assigned to the South Atlantic station. Admiral Schley will go to New York as a private citizen to attend the Dewey celebration, and will return here in time to be one of the guests at the president's dinner to Admiral Dewey on the night of Oot. 8.

Traveled 4,000 Miles to Marry. Mobile, Sept. 20. Pretty Jennie Krohm traveled 4,000 miles to marry Captain Gerhard Boe of the Norwegian steamship Yumuria, now in this port. Bhe came from Bergen, Norway, alone. The wedding took place last evening ia tiie saandinaviaa ohapel and was the •ccaelon of maeh rejoioing in the ship•ing eirelea.

The defendant alleges in conclusion that the act of the legislature of April 15, 1897, in passing the aforesaid "antitrust" statute is illegal, because it violates the state constitutional provisions by "depriving persons of liberty aud property without due process of law compels pei'sons iu a criminal case to give evidence against themselves it has the effect to injure persons in their lands, goods, persons and reputations and does not provide a remedy therefor by due course of law it takes and damages for public use the property of citizens of said state and of the United States without just compensation therefor, in that the penalty to be suffered by the defendant ia disproportionate to the nature of the offense charged against it, and its conviction in this oase will work a forfeiture of its estate in that it impairs and tends to deny rights reserved to the people and this defend"ant, which are retained by the people, and have not been delegated to either the legislative, executive or judicial powers of this state."
