JOHN WILSON.

Onr Former Citizen Indulges lu Borne Political Talk of General Interest,

Tacoma, Wash Ncivs: Former Senator Wilson, during asocial and political call on Tacoma friends, allowed himself to be interviewed to the extent of a column. No one can talk to tbe extent of a column and utter more good, hard political common sense, from his own party standpoint, than can the former senator. Summarized, he said in his interview: "I am out of politics there is nothing I want. I am not a candidate for governor, I do not want to be national Republican committeeman from this state. There is nothing I am asking for. I am simply a common citizen of this state. "I want to see Washington hold its next Republican state convention early. I want to see this state hold its convention before any other state in the union, and let the news go out that Washington has declared for McKinley, sound money and expansion, "Mr. McKlnley will be nominated by acclamation. There will never be a roll call by states. I should like, under these 6ircumstanc?B, to have this state the first in the union to declare for the President. The people here are favorable to him. "I would hold the convention in April. Hold it early, before any of the other states can hold theirs. It would probably be wise to*divide the two conventions, giving one to the east and one to the west side. :f

Mr. Wilson puts the question of expansion in a new light, and advocates his theories in a convincing manner. What he says of the necessity of party organization, early conventions and shape campaigns is good politics and the idea may as well be appropriated by one party as another.

The interview clearly brings out the fact that Mr. Wilson desires to be sent as a delegate to the next Republican national convention. Since his retirement from public office Mr. Wilson has not sulked in his tent, associated with bolters, nor encouraged party discontent and political criticism. Mr. Wilson stands for clean politics and hates a boodler and shifty political "trimmers." His ambition is a modeBt and a worthy one and there appears to be no reason why it should not be gratified by his party.

A significant part of the interview is

alBO

the expression: "I have friends to assist and reward." Mr. Wilson is not the type of politician that attempts to carry favor by temporizing with his enemies.

You know always exactly where to find John L. Wilson and it is never in the camp of the enemy. His favors are for his friendB and he is always in line with the beBt ideas and the cleanest party methods.

In or out of office John L. Wilson is a political power that Republicans cannot afford to ignore. He is loved by hiB friends and feared by his enemies. That iB'one of tbe best tributes that may be paid to any man.

THE great success of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the treatment of bowel complaints has made it Btandard over the greater part of the civilized world. For sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

"There will be only two parties in the field in the state next year. These wiil be the Damocratic and Republican parties. There may be a few scattering Populists, but they will be few. The Populists and silver Republicans will join either one of these two parties. Fusion is dead. "The great point of difference between the two parties will be on annexation. The question of the right of the governed is one which is coming up. That is a very pretty little thought that Thomas Jefferson inserted in the declaration of independence and then violated himself eight yearB later. "It is not a question of the Philippines alone. We do not want them for the Philippines, but for China. China is what we are after. "We are to be not only an Atlantic, but a Pacific power. This is the only great power which, looks out o?i the Orient. That is to be the theatre of future activity the contest between the Anglo-Saxon and other races. The past 100 years has been a struggle for freedom. The coming 100 years is to be a straggle for commerce. "We can never be an agricultural country here. We must develop from commerce. We should command the trade of the Orient and we need the Philippines to hold it. "I will probably attend the next Republican conventions, but whether I am a delegate to the national convention depends on circumstances. If there is a man in my county who wants to go to that convention I shall support him. I am not done with politics in that I shall not take part in primaries and conventions. I have friends to assist and reward."

WE ARE GETTING GOOD.

Only Vive Arrests Miule During the Kutire. .Week of the lfntr.

The police are still wondering how it happened. The fair is over and during the entire time only five arrests were made. The only charge elated against any victim was intoxication, and the majority of the offenders were old timers. Not a single case of larceny, pocket picking, or fighting was reported, and so far as is known there were no such cases. There svas the best of order everywhere in spite of the large crowds, and more orderly gatherings could not have been asked for Sunday.

During the year the average number of arrests per week in Crawfordsville is six, and at least one of these six is for some offense other than drunkenness. In view of these figures the showing made during the fair is something remarkable.

A DULL SESSION PROMISED.

The September Term of the Circuit Court Began on Monday.

The September term of the Montgomery circuit court began on last Monday and the session promises to be one of the most uninteresting in the history of the court. There are on the docket 168 civil

caseB,

six claims, and

thirteen state cases. Fifty-six of these cases have been filed since the adjournment of court and many of the others are old standbys that will not be tried. Of the thirteen state cases only four are for felony and it is doubtful whether any one of them will come to trial. It is almost a sure thing that at least two of them will be dismissed. The other state cases are for minor offenses and to only one of them is any interest attached. This is the appeal of Squire Wright, of Waveland, who was convicted by a fellow justice under the dog tax law.

The great majority of the civil cases on the docket are tame affairs and the Hanna case is the only one involving any great amount of property.

ScAiarlo of "Ben-Hur."

The drama that William Young is writing, based on General Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur" and oa which he has been engaged for several months, iB divided into six acts and affords a wealth of oriental coloring and display. There are ten or twelve main characters and scores of supernumeraries, dancers, soldiers, citizens, etc. The explanatory introduction, in which no words are spoken, and hence cannot be denominated as a prologue, is a moonlight scene in the desert showinsr the wise men of the east following the star. In act one the housetop of the palace of Ben-Hur is presented, and a distant view of the city of Jerusalem. The passage qf a procession is followed by the catastrophe of the falling tile, when Gracus is wounded, and the curtain descends on the arrest of Ben-Hur, his mother and sister.

Act two, Bcene first, shows the galley where Ben-Hur iB confined, with the oarsmen at work and a storm appearing. Scene second depicts the open sea and the rescue. Act third opens in the house of Simonides, in Antiofeh, the three scenes following being devoted to spectacular views of the grove of Daphne, in whichv a masque, dancing and other festive exhibitions occur. The first Bcene of the fourth act is the interior of the shiek's tent. The second the orchard of palms and a lake by moonlight.

Act fifth

is the Mount of Olives,

and here is the only suggestion of Christ that enters into the play, His presence among the crowd of pushing, struggling people being indicated by a bright light, which passes Blowly through the multitude. The final fall of the curtain is upon the reunion of Ben-Hur with his mother and Bister,

MIDNIGHT FIRE ALARM,

The Wulclrip Residence in the South Kuil Hurncti Some l'cculiar Features. 7

Shortly after twelve o'clock Sunday night two alarms were sent in from the box in the southeast corner of town summoning the department to the Waldrip residence which was rapidly burning to the ground. When Mac Stilwell decided to build on his College street lot he sold the residence thereon to the Waldrips and they moved it out on the Danville road hill, adding a second story and making extensive repairs. The elder Mr Waldrip and bis sons, Ed and Isaac, lived there, and all were at home when the fire was discovered. It evidently burned very rapidly for when the family awoke the whole upper

Btcry

v^as

ablaze. Indeed, the roof fell in on Isaac and he suffered some severe and ugly burns, narrowly escaping with his life. Most of the furniture was lost, only a small part of that downstairs being saved. When the department reached the scene the house was too far gone to save so the firemen did not turn on the water, contenting themselves by looking after the safety of the adjoining houses. The fire burned with a roar that could be heard for blocks and a perfect

Bea

sparks floated out threatening all the buildings in the neighborhood. There is no fire plug close to the Bcene of the fire, most of the residences thereabouts having been orected quite recently and some of the people present gave forth a mighty roar concerning the poor fire protection. It was asserted that the losers by the fire would have a case against the city in consequence but this claim would hardly hold as the house was doomed when the fire was discovered and J. W. Skidmore, who turned in the alarm, states that the roof had fallen in before he did this. Tbe residence was insured and Mr. Waldrip will not be greatly the loser. He believes that the fire was the work of an incendiary as no light or blaze of any kind had been Btarted in the hou?e since Sunday morning.

TOUGH ON THE TYPE LICE.

A Swarm of Busy Bees Settle in the KstabJlhbment of tbe Indiana Printing: Company.

When the force of the Indiana Printing Company, of east Market street, ceased from labor on Saturday they left one of the rear windows open to admit the balmy

breezeB

that might

waft in from over beyant the fill dur= 4ng the peaceful Sabbath day. Some time Sunday morning a swarm of bees came along locking for a place to stora up honey and raise cunning little bees and the big burly buzzer at the head of the procession espied the open window. He wheeled with a nice precision and led the whole swarm into the room. They took an inventory of Btock and after sizing up the situation concluded to settle in the open drawer of a big desk. They settled all right and had a real comfortable time until dark. About dark one of the employes of the office meandered in and going to the desk reached into tbe drawer to get a book left there. He ran his arm elbow deep into nice fresh bees and^about twenty of them popped him for his impudence. With a yowl of pain he leaped out of the room and gave the alarm, at first being under the impression that he had been bitten by a snake. AB several of the bees remained with him he discovered, hia mistake on coming to light and the whole force was roused to clear the place of bees in order that the shop mightjbe opened Monday morning. It proved a mammoth swarm and was finally landed safely in a large box by an expert whose services were secured for the occasion.

The divorce case of Julia Fletcher Patton against her husband, Dr. Patton, will be heard in the Sullivan circuit court "next month. Thomas & Whittington, of this city, will represent the plaintiff.

Captain A. M. Scott Learea the Chicago* Autl-Trust. Convention iu No Good II UI1J.OI'.

Captain A. M. Scott, who was appointed by Governor Mount as a dele-1 gate to the anti-trust convention at Ohicago, returned last Friday thoroughly disgusted. Captain Scott attended juBt four sessions of the convention and saw enough in those to convince him ihat nothing could be accomplished by the quarrelsome and conflicting gang of delegates. He therefore did the wise thing and came homo. Captain Scott states that the convention is made up of all classes ofc. men from the most lurid anarchistB to'.-J'• his opposite. The active men and' those who have the running of thd convention are scheming politicians ofT all parties and fellows who are there representing some interest or other. The men who came in good faith to do something if possible to stem or turn the trust tide, cut no ice at all. The convention is destined to be a flat failure and it will be somewhat of a surprise to Captain Scott if it doeB not terminate in a free fight.
