When Governor Hanly returns fr?m Atlantic City thoroughly restored to health, those enemies within his party who were kicking him while he was • down should either get ready to light or take to the woods. The Democrat should not throw all its support to Hawkins when it has another "neighbor’’ that has an itching sensation for that nomination. Hold back some sympathy and encouragement for James W. Sale, of Wells county, for be it understood that he is willin’. —Bluffton Banner. It is just our luck I A wheat famine world-wide in extent, is announced and there is not going to be enough wheat raised in Whitley county this year to keep half the home people in biscuits, and there will be little or none to sell when the price soars up to $1.50 per. —Columbia City Post. Continuous rule in Pennsylvania has made that state the paradise of graft. By large majorities at each election the people have given the Republican politicians of that state a free hand and thy have taken it as a license to plunder the taxpayers by every method conceivable. It has been discovered that in the construction of the new state house at Harrisburg six million dollars have been stolen. The building is a shoddy ‘ palace of graft” There is little in it or about it that is genuine. It is a mockery, a counterfeit a whited sepulchre of corruption. President Roosevelt's admirers say that he can “do anything” and the people will “stand for it.” Some persons who are not his admirers have about come to the same conclusion. Doubtless Mr. Roosevelt believes that if he finally determines to run for a third term the people will "stand for it” And then if he wants a fourth term they will "stand for it’ And if he wants to stay in the presidency for life the people will “stand for it” But in the end would they "stand for it” if he should think that such a gocd

thing should be kept in the family and should turn the office over to Theodore II? In talking about the colossal extravagance of the late congress, the Republican leaders attempt to defend it on the ground that this is a "great and rich country.” It is, but that is no reason why the people should be robbed. If there were 360,000 men in Indiana worth just ss*ooo each it would take every dollar that all of them are worth to pay the amount spent by the last congress. And if these 360,000 men had to pay in addition all that congress allows the trusts to extort from the people of the country under the Dingley tariff law they couldn't pay ten cents on the dollar. But as it is, every man in Indiana is paying bis share and most of them more—and the share is always big. STREET CAR STRIKE IS ON. At Evansville—Trouble is Expected Tomorrow. Evansville, May 16. —Cars manned strike breakers from Nashville are the only ones running on the local lines today, a strike having been declared last night. A hundred men are out. Trouble is expected tomorrow, when Barnum & Bailey’s show pitches tents in a remote part of the city, with street cars the only way of getting there. The men demand nine hours a day. twenty cents an hour and thirty cents for over time. ASSISTANCE SENT TO STEAMER Italian Liner Broke Shaft and Went Dead. New York.

Inasmuch as I have been closely connected with the Fristoe case and took part in the way of presenting her condition to the notice of her friends, I feel that an expression of thanks from Mrs. Fristoe and myself is due her many friends. She is indeed grateful to one and all and her earnest prayers will be with them always. E. Ernest Bergman. See the "Servant Maids” in "Santiago” Opera House May 20 and 21. 120-3 t

AFTER THIRTY-THREE YEARS. James W. Sale Retires from the Firm of Studabaker & Co. On June Ist a radical change in the organization of one of the oldest established business houses in the city will take place, when James W. Sale will retire from the firm of Studabaker Sale & Co., grain dealers. The details of the change were made public today for the first time. Following the retirement of Mr. Sale, the firm will be known as John Studabaker & Son.and will be composed of John Studabaker. Sr., one of the present owners; D. D. Studabaker, and H. H. Deam, the present bookkeeper of the firm. In severing his connection with this firm, Mr. Sale closes a business association of thirty-three years standing. In fact, he has never had employment for any other person. When he began working for the firm, it was known as Waring, Sale & Co. The Sale mentioned was a brother of J. W. Sale. Later the firm was changed to Waring, Studabaker & Co., and in 1886 to the present name. Studabaker, Sale & Co. Under that name the firm had a steady growth until at a time three years ago, the company owned a string of elevators around this section of the country, over a dozen in number. — Bluffton Banner.

How Clouds and Fogs Differ. Clouds are bodies of moisture evaporated from the earth and again partially condensed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs differ from clouds only in one respect—they come In contact with the surface of the earth while clouds are elevated above our heads When the surface of the earth is warmer than the lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. But when the lower air is warmer than the earth the vapor rises through the air and becomes cloud. Fog and mist differ in this respect—that mist is a fine rain, while fog is vapor not sufficiently condensed to allow of its precipitation in drops. The Fata Morgana. The most singular aerial phenomenon is the fata morgana, a sea mirage seen off the coast of Calabria and between Italy and Sicily. It presents the phantoms of cities, bouses, temples, palaces and ships, sometimes in their proper position, sometimes inverted, occasionally at an angle. The phenomenon has been known for many ages and formerly occasioned great and widespread alarm, being regarded as an evil omen that oetokened some general and severe calamity. SEED POTATOES FOR SALE.
