FRIDAY, NOVKMBKK hi, lilOO.

VOTING machines will reduce the expenses of an election.

FOR President in liiOJ, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York.

THE Indianapolis papers say that the Republicans have decided to have no tampering with the Nicholson law.

HON. W. D. BYNVM and Capt. William E. English, of Indianapolis, have announced that their conversion to Republicanism is complete and they will henceforth ally themselves with the party of McKinley and Roosevelt.

PMVATK letters from Lincoln, to friends in Crawfordsville, say that Bryan is almost prostrated by his defeat, particularly from the fact that his own state should vote against him by a larger majority than that which defeated an unpopular Democratic candidate for governor.

ISN'T it about time the government was letting the contract for forts near our big cities'? Mr. Bryan repeatedly declared that such a thing would be done in case of Republican success and that soldiers would be therein installed to suppress American laborers. Now let us see if his prediction is fnltilled.

THE new legis'ature will undoubtedly pass a primary election law. something Indiana has long needed. This law should contain a provision for electing delegates to conventions by the proportional. representation system. If this feature is not made compulsory, it should at. least be made permissable, so that the voters of any county could use it if thev so desired.

Mr. U. M. Scott., of 208 west College street., representative of the luniiina Wire Co.. says: "I lin.il itching hemorrhoids for a number of years and was always on the lookout for something to cure it..

It is evident from the landslide all over the United States that

for Croker. led Bryan over the state a time or two and got the big notification show held in his city, and with it all. McKinley curried the state 15.000 more than he did four years ago. The jXarsHevkv will have to guess again. Mayor Taggart is probably too young.

IT will be interesting: and very likely amusing to watch the reorganization of the Democratic party. It is hardly to be supposed that the Bryan, silver and Populist elements which have had control for four years will quietly step to the rear and accept the leadership of the class of Democrats which in two elections have either directly or indirectly supported Mclvinley. It is impossible to think of the two factions harmonizing their differences of opinion. The probabilities are that in the future there will be two parties of considerable size opposing the Republicans. In one will be found Altgeld, Tillman, Pcttigrew, Webb Davis, George• Fred Williams, Coin TIarvey,

characters that have been prominent in Democratic circles lately. In the other will be found Cleveland and his former cabinets, Irish, Hckels, the gold

Democrats generally and most, of the so-called anti-imperialists. Which of these two groups, as irreconcilable as oil and "water, will suec^od to title of the Democratic party it is impossible to foretell. There is great prestige in the name and the real light will be for the use of the name and the consequent prestige thatiit brings. The first group claims it by right of possession, which is said to be nine points in law. The second group will demand it on the ground that it is the legitimate successI or of the old Democratic party of Jef-1 I ferson.' Jackson and Cleveland. I

The Republican party cannot hope to retain all of its Democratic allies of '9l and lilOO but^if it proves equal to the

In fact 1 should very much like to Know, as I have justi paid $10 for a Belgian dm arid 1 know others in town who have paid $."0 and $100. While such prices prevail there is no fear of many getting wild. The rabbit existed in America before the white man came, and is still here, they are exactly simi lar to those in Australia, but are not plentiful enough to make any one a living to hunt them at 10 cents a bead.

Nothing that the government has done in years has so pleased the farmers as the establishment of the rural routes. They were enabled during the campaign to have newspapers delivered at their doors every day", and they kept up with the political procession. Thousands received daily papers during the campaign for the first time. The political arguments were thus pressed home to them. Besides the "converts'" made by the newspapers, there was probably a large number that cast ail other thoughts aside and voted to uphold the administration for giving them a daily /"ree delivery of mail.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION

Is Still in Indiana—Exact Location Near the City of Columbus.

From data already in hand, it is roughly estimated that the center of population during the last decade has been about twenty miles to the west and eight miles to the north of the center in 1890. Ten years ago the center was near the town of Greensburg. Indiana. It is now in the vicinity of Columbus, Indiana, probably no more than six or seven miles from that city, in a northerly direction. Only the official calculations upon the completion of the oensus can accurately locate it, but this is near enough for all practical purposes.

It is a curious fact that the growth of population east of the old center might, in any given decade be greater than the growth of population west of the old center, and yet the new center be found still farther west.

This is true because the center of population depends wholly upon the distribution of the 70,000,000 units of which the mass is composed. An increase of 1,('00 in the population "00 miles west of the old center exactly counterbalances an increase of ",000 in the population 100 miles east of the old center.

The center of population of the United States is ascertained by the assumption that the whole area of the country is a plane, like a board, and that every unit counts the same as every other unit, except for its distance from the assumed center.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.

Avoid Nervous Prostration*

If you are dangerously sick what ia the first duty of your physician Ha quiets the nervous system, he deadens the pain, and you sleep well.

Friends ask, "what is the cause?" and the answer comes in pitying tones, nervous prostration. It came upon you so quietly in the beginning, that you were not alarmed, and when sleep deserted you night after night until your eyes fairly burned in the darkness, then you tossed in nervous agony prayiDg for sleep.

MRS. A. HARTLEY.

You ought to have known that when you ceased to be regular in your courses, and you grew irritable without cause, that there was serious trouble somewhere.

You ought to know that indigestion, exhaustion, womb displacements, fainting, dizziness, headache, and backache send the nerves wild with affright, and you cannot sleep.

Mrs. Ilartley, of 221 W. Congress St^ Chicago, 111., whose portrait we publish, suffered all these agonies, and was entirely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound her case should be a warning to others, and her cure carry conviction to the minds of every suffering woman of the unfailing efficiency of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound.

MOUNT'S PROCLAMATION.

Nov. 29 Set Apart ns the Doy For (jiving Thanks.

Governor Mount issued the annual Thanksgiving proclamation Tuesday. It -sets apart Thursday, Nov. 2!), as the day for giving thanks and urges contributions to tho poor. It says in part: ''We cannot recount all the evidence of Divine favor: they are more than can be numbered. Abounding plenty cheers the homes and trladdens the hearts of our people. Employment invites to activity all who seek work. The rewards of industry make it possible for all to enjoy God's bounteous blessings. Inventive genius has added to the store of human comfort. Immunity from pestilence aud disease, with freedom from discord aud strife, are conditions calling for the expression of gratitude from our hearts. The spirit of conciliation and interdependence has led to laws for the adjustment of differences through peaceful arbitration, hence the peace and prosperity of our state has not been menaced by danger to life or property. "Let the day be appropriately observed in graceful acknowledgment to the Father of all our mercies for His loving kindness to us."

Many Pcnslun Claims.

Many inquiries have been made recently at the pension ollice as to the status of claims tiled for pensions by soldiers of the Spanish-American war. Commissioner Evans says the bureau scarcely has had time to respond to all the inquiries, and the claims are being adjudicated as rapidly as possible.

There have been filed .")4,000 claims on account of the Spanish-American war up to Monday.

Calls have been made for evidence in :i:i,-124 claims. Four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven of these claims have been adjudicated already.

A Mad Lot of Trustees.

The county commissioners notified the township trustees that they would make a settlement with them Tuesday and accordingly they all came in. When they got here they found that the commissioners had left at an early hour to inspect some bridge abutments on the Montgomery-Putnam county line and would be gone all day.
