FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1901.
THE Rockville Bepubliean spitefully growls: Crawfordsville is anxiously awaiting the coming of Carrie Nation, She is theBtar attraction at the Elks' meeting there in a few weeks. The Athenians want to see something that is actually alive.
Perhaps this desire is explanation of the fact that Athenians never care to see Rockville.
UNDER the new law it is a penitentiary offense to dynamite, a stream. This illegal and offensive manner of fishing has long been a stench in the public nostrils and it is to be hoped that a few convictions will promptly be made in this section of the state. The crime will be stopped only after an example lias been made.
SECRETARY ROOT made short work of the official career of a war department official, who offered to sell copies of official correspondence to the counsel of Neeley, who is charged with the embezzlement of Cuban postal funds. The offer was made by W. D. Williams, private secretary for Col. Edwards, chief of the insular division of the war department, to Judge Linsay, of New York, who at once reported it to At-torney-General Knox. Detectives had no trouble in tracing the offer to Williams, who acknowledged his guilt. Secretary Root at once dismissed him from the government service. He would also have been prosecuted, but inasmuch as the copies he had offered to sell were all recovered and would in any event have been of no value in the case, it was decided that dismissal was sufficient punishment.
IN a speech at Nevada, Mo., Wednesday, William Jennings Bryan made the following statement concerning the reorganization of the Democratic party: 'fThe proposed change is not so much for the purpose of changing the per sonnel of the organization as its principles. For Democratic principles we had a hard fight in 1896, a harder one in 1900, and I believe the hardest fight is to come in 1904 to keep those principles to the front. Being unable to win in an open fight, the recrg^nizers resort to fraud and deceit. Were they to prepare a platform and submit it to a primary voice of the Democracy, they would scarcely carry a precinct in the United States, but they worked in the dark and are backed by the great Democratic daily newspapers and all the corporate interests of the country. They are becoming formidable. The trusts have more power in the party to-day than they have had at any time since 1S96. The men who went out of the party in 1896 are now shouting harmony and trying to wreck the Democratic party from within."
MR. C. M. SCHWAB, president of the newly founded steel trust, known as the United States steel company, was one of the most interesting witnesses yet heard by the industrial commission. He was a very frank and willing witness, giving all that was asked except a copy of the syndicate agreement, which he said he thought was private matter that he would not care to furnish at this time. He said the new company controlled about 75 per cent, of the steel products of the country, and expressed the opinion that the consolidation under one head would be beneficial all around. When asked what effect it would have on prices, he replied: "I think the tendency will be toward somewhat lower prices. I do not think there is a probability of higher prices unless something unforeseen happens." When asked what, if any effect, the talk of the removal of the tariff on steel products would have on his company, he replied: "Reduce the tariff and the wages of labor will be reduced. Labor forms the largest element. Our greatest exports have been in rails and billets, wherin labor is the least factor comparatively, and not in the lines upon which the most labor is exerted,"
When asked to Btate what effect corporate consolidation would have on the chances of men for employment, he said: "Opportunities were never so great before as they are now, for men of brain and energy who are willing to work. There was never so great a scarcity of the special men who are required by manufactories. Men with such exceptional abilities have chances equal to any such men ever had. I doubt, however, if men with small capital have." He said the average wages paid by the Carnegie company at
Homestead, last year were $4 a day. The lowest was $1.50, but Mr. Schwab said he was ashamed to tell what the highest was.
SECRETARY GAGE is still buying short time U. S. bonds, whenever they are offered at a price that makes it advantageous for the government to buy, and will continue to do so, because thereby he not only puts the money that is in the treasury back into circulation, but saves interest for the government.
Another Hotel.
W. D. Jones & Son have purchased another hotel in Ft. Wayne, the Randall, a house of 120 rooms. The dining room will De closed and a cafe put in. Between the Randall and their other hotel, the New Aveline, they will run an automobile. They have only the Crawford House here so will have no automobile in this city unless Am concludes to run one between the hotel and the farm.

The Illness of Mrs. McKiniey Has Developed Alarming Symptons.
THE PRESIDENT'S FEARS
If Conditions Will Warrant the Western Trip Will Be Abandoned and the Sufferers Taken Home.
Pathetic Anxiety of the People San Francisco Concerning: Their Beloved Guest.
Mrs. McKinley's illness has cast a shadow over the whole city. The people have shown their sympathy In a multitude of ways. All day long groups have been standing across the street opposite the Scott residence, silently watching the drawn blinds of the room in which is Mrs. McKiniey. The news of the serious character of ber illness evidently traveled fast, because from all over the country telegrams have been coming to the president expressing sympathy for Mrs. McKiniey, and asking for tidings of her condition. Just how soon Mrs. McKiniey will be able to travel is a question which no one can answer now. It may be necessary for her to remain here longer than next Monday, when the party was originally scheduled to leave.
Indeed, it is likely that it will be somewhat later before she is able to endure the long trip across the country, but as soon as she is sufficiently strong, tbe trip will be made by the most direct route, probably tbe Union Pacific. No stops will be made, and it Is believed the trip can be made In five days.
After dinner last nigut the members of the cabinet called at the Scott residence. They reported Mrs. McKinley's condition as unchanged. When she is conscious she recognizes the president and asks for him. She is not regarded as in immediate dan^or of dissolution. There Is no abandonment of hope that she will rally, but In her weakened condition there could not fail to be apprehension lest th» spark of life go out.
A Chinese Atrocity.
Pekin, May 16.—An explosion at the arsenal in Kalgan yesterday wounded one German official and four privates Three German privates are missing. It Is supposed that they were blown to pieces. The Germans generally be lieve that the Chinese intentionally committed the outrage, although evl dence to substantiate this view Is lack ing.

San Francisco, May 10.—The members of tbe cabinet are very apprehensive that Mrs. McKiniey will not rally. Her physicians have not yet^been able to check the bowel trouble, and her enfeebled condition is against her.
Sail Francisco, May 16.—Owing to the very serious character of Mrs. McKinley's illness, the president has definitely decided to abandon his contemplated Northwestern tour and to return to Washington direct, as soon as Mrs. McKiniey is able to stand the journey. The gravity of Mrs. McKinley's condition has been known to the members of the president's immediate party for several days, but had been concealed In the belief that she would rally, as she has done so frequently in the past, and with a few days of absolute quiet and rest would be restored to her normal condition. But her present illness has been attended with entirely new complications, which have not yielded to the treatment, and the president has concluded that it was time the public should be apprised of the true situation. He is also anxious that the citizens of the cities and towns along the planned route of his return trip, who have made such extensive preparations for his visit, should receive prompt notification of the circumstances which compelled his decision. Dr. Iicnry Gibbous of San Francisco has been called in consultation With Dr. Ilirschfelder and Dr. ltixey. Dr. Gibbons has a reputation here for his skill in the treatment of bowel disorders. It was the president's own wish that another physician be called in consultation, because he desired that nothing that science could do should bo left undou'e. He was especially anxious that the diagnosis of the attending physicians should agree. Ever since Mrs. McKiniey arrived at the Scott residence she has been desperately ill. Her extreme weakness has been the most alarming feature of her condition. Her vitality lias been at a lot/ ebb and she has seldom spoken to those about her. The president has been continually at her bedside since their arrival here Sunday night, save the few hours Monday afternoon, when he left her to go to San Jose, anu the three hours he spent Tuesday in tbe parade. Fortunately. Mrs. McKiniey slept through his absence on both these occasions. The strain which the president himself has undergone during the past few days has been very great. It has been a personal sacrifice for him to carry out his engagements here in order not to disappoint the people, but he has made it unselfishly. And it Is still his desire to carry out the pre-arranged program in San Francisco to whatever extent he can.
CAPITAL DOIINUS
A Variety of Topics Treated Prom An Indianapolis Viewpoint. Indianapolis, May 16.—United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge sailed today from New York for Europe. He will visit London, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg, and probably will go on into Siberia and China. The senator believes that Russia and China are bound to afford the great markets of the future for American products, aud the principal object of his visit is to study the means of taking advantage ot' those markets. He will also study the effect of the straiued relations between Russia and China on American interests. lie has had this trip in mind for several weeks and has consulted with leading men on the advisability of taking it. It is quite probable that he will embody the information obtained in speeches to be delivered in the senate. He will return next October.
Governor Mount made It a point every year to suspeud all other duties to attend the annual encampments oil the State G. A. R., and he always was accompanied by his staff in full uniform. The presence of the staff has not always pleased the old veterans, who have an excusable habit of wanting to be the whole show themselves on such occasions. A very unpleasant incident marked the encampment a few years ago at Richmond, when Governor Mount's staff, riding the horses belonging to the "Black Horse Troop" of Culver military academy, headed the procession aud kept tho line waiting for nearly an hour while they had their pictures taken. The old veterans, who had to stand with the hot sun beating upon them, said as bitter things about the staff as they ever said about the rebels, and it is doubtful after all if the absence of the staff will be much regretted at tho function now on at Logansport.
General W. J. McKee, brigadier general and commander of the national guard, will receive just $1 a day—tho amount paid to tbe lowest private, for his services during the state encampment, July 21 to 28. The "doilar a day" clause applies to every member of the guard, officers as well as prt rates. The question of whether liquors shall be admitted In camp is already agitating prohibitionists, as it does every year, and it will be settled just as it always has been before— by the "boys" getting all they want to drink, although the liquor will be smuggled in. Major Miller, who has been with the adjutant general's office for years, says: "There will be no canteen, but nobody will go dry." All kinds of liquor are smuggled into camp, but beer is the principal drink, especially after hard marches.
Tbe last work on the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is now being completed. It is the putting in place of the peace group ou the side of the monument. It represents a soldier returning to the old fa.'m homestead and surprising his mother and father, and is a very effective work of art. It is an interesting fact that Rudolph Schwartz, the sculptor that designed the art groups of tiie monument, has taken out naturalization papers and intends to open an office in Indianapolis almost within the shadow of the monument. He came from Berlin and was selected by Bruno Schmitz, designer of the monument, to execute the monument groups because Schmitz regarded him as the best sculptor of stone in the world.
The disposal of the Indianapolis arsenal grounds is a very live topic in this city. Major .John F. Miller of the adjutant general's office, suggests an entirely new use for the site. He said: 'Why not convert it into headquarters for the Indiana national guard and barracks for the Indianapolis companies? It would be an Ideal place and has ample drill ground attached. The buildings could be utilized splendidly for quartermaster's depot and storehouse, quarters for regimental and company officers, etc."
A pretty local fight is predicted as the result of the announcement that Daniel Storms will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of state, and Henry W. Marshall for the Republican nomination for auditor of state. There are two factions In Lafayette, and whenever one springs a candidate for a state office the other is sure to bring out a candidate for the same or some other state nomination, aud then the local politicians prepare for a merry time.
It has been decided to Invite the governors of all of the surrounding states to the dedication of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, and a one fare round trip rate has been secured for all Indiana points. It is expected to make it the biggest affair that ever took place here, and to accommodate the date of dedication to suit President McKiniey, who Is expected to be the star orator.
From 1,500 to 1,800 letters are now received every week at the governor's office, notwithstanding the correspondence has dropped off heavily since the rush for positions slackened.
THE quality of "'John's Best" flour is never denied. Made at the City Mills, Crawfordsvslle. Try it.

STRIKE MENACK3
National Metal Trades Association May Go Out Monday. Chicago, May 16.—Machinists and their employers have widened the wage scale breach, and the result is an admission- ou the part of the workmen that a strike probably will be called in all the local shops on Monday morning. The employers profess belief that the machinists before taking extreme measures will agree to some arbitration scheme. The following order has been received from Washington, signed by International President O'Counell, of the Machinists: "lu every shop controlled by the National Metal Trades association that fails to post, a notice of a 12% per cent increase in w:i: a strike shall be declared ou May in, 1901."
Soon after Hie receipt of- the order there was a meeting of the Chicago Association of Machine Manufacturers which embraces nearly all the local members of the National Metal Trades association, as well as many outside manufacturers. -Resolutions were passed instructing"members of the association to post notices granting a 9-hour work day. or 54 hours a week, but making no reference to any advance in wanes beyond a reaffirmation of the New York agreement which provides for time and a quarter for overtime.
