John B. Swank, Assistant. Telephones No, 61^81^83

He Thinks the President's Appointments are Admirable and Talks of Things In General.

Representative Charles B. Landis, of the ninth district, came down from Delphi last BYiday evening and spent the night in the city, .says the Indianapolis Journal. He said he would return home to-day, but would be back for the Republican love feast next week. "There is no doubt," said Mr. Landis, that the sentiment in favor of the construction of an interoceanic canal is so strong that congress before it adjourns is certain to enact legislation that will result in this work being put under way during the coming year. The announcement made in the morning papers that the Panama canal people were about to submit a proposition to dispose of their route is likely to temporarily at least check the Nicaragua scheme. If the proposition made by the Panama'holders will bring the cost of the canal at that point down to the] estimated cost of the Nicaraguan1 canal it is likely to turn the sentiment from Nicaragua to Panama, as the latter route would mean a sea-level canal, while the other contemplates the construction of a system of locks. It would also mean twelve hours, as against thirty-six hours in making the passage the other route."

VOL. 55—NO. 1 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY JANUARY 3 1902-TWELY14 PAGES PART SECOND

In speaking of changes in the cabinet Mr. Landis said: "While I regret very much the resignations of Postmas-ter-General Smith and Secretary Gage from the cabinet, I think the selections to fill their places are most admirable. There has been some criticism of the appointmeut of Mr. Payne as the successor of Postmaster-General Smith on the ground that he was too closely identified with active political work. If the time has come in this Republic when activity in politics is considered a bar to honorable political preferment, then it strikes me that we might consent that the proposition of self-government is a failure. 1 have enjoyed the honor and distinction of a personal acquaintance with Governor Shaw extending over a period of several years, and his name in Indiana and adjoining states, where his record Is known, Is a synonym for integrity and stanch adherence to the best political principles. The hardest blow that we struck for the maintenance of the integrity of our finances in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 were struck by Leslie D. Shaw."

REPRESENTATIVE LANDIS. FIRST REPUBLICAN MEETING.

Mr. Landis says that the judiciary committee of the house has under consideration a bill looking to the punishment of anarchists and the suppression of anarchy, and effective legislation will certainly be enacted. "Congress will also provide for the construction of the Pacific cable," said Mr. Landis, "and it begins to look as though the government would construct, own and operate this cable. It is impossible to say on just what articles the war revenue tax will be removed but I know there is a great sentiment among many of the congressmen to remove the tax and I believe it will be done. The income now is large enough to warrant making the change."

Las

Two Sides to the Controversy. A speoial from Washington to the Indianapolis News says: "The friends of Frank M. Dice, of Crawfordsville, are hopeful of securing his reinstatement as a superintendent of one of the divisions of the rural free delivery service. An investigation by the de' partment has shown that there are two sides to the controversy. Some of the Indiana congressmen are inclined to believe that a trap was laid for Dice.'

A Good Recommendation.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have used them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

Johnj W. McCardlc, of New Richmond, Who Has Ue&erted Democracy.

One of the men here to attend the love feast will, for the first time in his life, mingle at a large Republican gathering as a liepublican, says the Indianapolis Journal. He Is John W. McCardle, a grain dealor of New Richmond, and one of the most prominent citizens of Montgomery county. McCardle left the Democratic party after the second defeat of Bryan and cast his lot with (the [.Republicans. In the last campaign he could have had the Democratic nomination for congress in the ninth district, but he declined it. tie believed that Representative Landis would be re-elected and had a strong Idea that McKlnley would again be successful. He felt then that he ought to leave the party, but he did not believe in deserting a ship under fire. He remained with the party and voted the Democratic ticket, but soon after the election he announced that he would no longer afliliate with the Damocracy.

In connection with Mr- McCardle's joiningithe Republican ranks an interesting little story is related. Mr. McCardle is an ardent admirer of Representative1Watson, and during the last campaign when he heard that Mr. Watson waB down for a speech at New Richmond, he invited him and John C. Wlngate, who was to accompany the speaker, toibe his guests. Mr. Wingate lives in a town a few miles distant from New Richmond. Wingate met Watson at the railway station at Crawfordsville the day of the evening he was to speak at New Richmond and drove out to the little town through a driving rain. Arriving at McCardle's, they met Charles Kirkpatrick, a Republican leader of the locality, who said thoy had better declare the meeting off. "That's a bad thing to do," said Mr.

Wingate. "I think we had better have the meeting since it has been advertised." Wingate looked at Kirkpatrick significantly and the latter understood. "I felt that we ought to have that meeting especially for John McCardle's benefit." said Mr. Wingate, relating the incident afterward, "and Kirkpatrick caught my meaning all right enough. We went around the little town and drummed up a crowd of seventy-five or a hundred people. Mr. Watson got down from the platform and stood right in front of these people. He talked right at John McCardle, and I don't think I heard a happier or more effective speech during the entire campaign. Of course I don't mean to imply that John McCardle was 'hoodooed' into being a Republican that night, but we didn't feel that we ought to lose the opportunity of having a Democrat get the benefit of Mr. Watson's eloquence."

Tough Men Krom Parke.

Saturday, Dec. 14, Wm. and Norman Starks came up from the wilds of Parke county and invaded the peaceful hamlet of Waveland, after first having indulged their appetites ifor red liquor. They started all kinds of trouble and Prosecutor Reeves has sworn out affidavits in 'Squire Stilwell's court for their arrest on the charge or intoxication and assault and battery. Jene Britton, Yance Glaze, Chas. Williams and Harry Durham have been summoned as state witnesses.

Fresh Prom the Philippines. James Rush and Charley Gilkey, who hive been in the United States army in the Philippines for three years, arrived in this city last Saturday. Tbey arrived in the United States the 19th, and are brown as berries from their army experience in the tropical islands. They both state that they have had enough of the service and will not reenlist.

Stole Forty Jags.

Some time Dec. 26 some miscreant took out of the store room of Burroughs' Lodge saloon a keg containing about five gallons of good old rum. As a pint of this liquor will make a man see pink monkeys with heliotrope tails it is altogether likely that somebody has forty jags to take care of. There is no olue to the thief.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature—rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day—it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause.

A GHASTLY SHIPMENT.

A Mutilated Body Sent by Mistake to a Montgomery County Farmer.

Quite an excitement was caused in the community about two m,iles west of Colfax last week when the report became current that a box containing a mutilated human body had been received at the home of Charles Campbell, a farmer. All sorts of rumors were soon in circulation and Thursday the officials made an investigation. Dr. Ware, of Bowers, for the Montgomery county board of health, inspected the box and found it to contain the body of a young woman, He learned that the body belonged to Dr. Campbell, of Lafayette, who procured it at a medical college at Indianapolis and was taking it home for dissection and to secure a skeleton. He was able to convince the officials that everything was regular. The body had been sent by express and had been sent to the wrong address. Dr. Campbell arrived at his brother's houte Thursday and took the body to Lnfayette.

Word From the Guns.

The committee appointed from the G. A R. some time since to get some cannons for ornamentation purposes have received word that the guns have been shipped from Mobile, Ala. Carriages for the guns have been ordered from Chattarooga, Tenn., and it is thought they will get here in time to mount them in the early spring. No sight has yet been chosen for the ord' nance, but many are in favor of placing them in Oak Hlli cemetery, as a large number of soldiers are buried there.

Mew Department at Purdue.
