Friends of Secretary Cortelyou deny that he wants to be a candidate for president in 1908, but they say that he may be "available" in 1912. "SV ell. that at least will give him four years longer to pay back the several hundred thousand dollars of stolen insurance money received and spent by him in the campaign of 1904. It is said that during the late Wall street panic Frick. Schwab, Corey and others of the Pittsburg group of new millionaires drew $30,000,000 from Pittsburg banks and trust companies and used it in New York to save themselves from being swamped. As it was, it is asserted that their losess were enormous, and that as a consequence some of the men have allowed their taxes to go delinquent until they can “hit the market right." In the meantime, whose $30,000,000 was it that was drawn from the Pittsburg banks and trust companies? The efforts now being made in the state to bring the editors of the Republican newspapers to the support of Mr. Fairbanks are not all successful. Meetings have been held in several districts, and the editors —or such as were present —have been wined and dined and cigarred at somebody's expense. and the net result is trouble. The Fairbanks organs at Indianapolis have announced the "unanimous adoption of glowing Fairbanks endorsements, when the truth is that at nearly every meeting there have been indignant protests against the methods of the machine. In some instances the resolutions of endorsement have been openly repudiated by self-respecting editors who refused to be roped and gagged in the interest of Mr. Fairbanks. A newspaper support which has to be forced, begged or bought can hardly be depended on to render substantial service. And that seems to be about the only kind that the V. P. is able to get.

MARION OWLS THE ATTRACTION Open Season Next Thursday—Other Dope for the Fans. Six more days and the season of 1907 opens in Decatur. The Marion £wls. old timed favorites in Decatur, will open the local season, and we predict that the crowd attending will be a record breaker and that the ball park will be taxed to its capacity. Two games for one admission will prove a drawing card and will set the fans going in the right way. The Portland team seems to be coming to life again and are occasionally winning a game. They have thus far this season lost more games than they have won. but are still hanging on. How s this for the highest salaried team playing ball in semi-pro-fessional circles today. Bluffton’s world-beating pitching pitching staff has now dwindled down to three men, the management having tied the can to three of the men who officiated in the Ft. Wayne game. We predict that when another game is played and they lose, that several more players will receive the can. Already are her newspapers claiming that Tuesday's game was merely a practice game and that they didn t expect to have it count in their regular schedule. Wonder if this wont, be the case through the season. Winger, the catcher, who reported from Cincinnati yesterday, has al- ■ ready made a fine impression with . the public. Although a small man, he is a catcher of rare ability, with an arm that means suicide for any 1 attempt to steal and he can ' clout the ball at a rate ball fans like I to see. *The O. K. stamp‘has been put , on him already and we are assured that he will deliver the goods. Keep up the dip, Winger. ; Those who have watched the practice games, are much impressed with the work of every member that has so far reported, and are jubilant over * the prospects of the team for this - season. The boys are all husky f chaps and are hitting the ball fiercely, which the fans enjoy very much. That Manager Behringer will fulfill his 1 promise of giving Decatur the 5 "champs” of 1907 is practically an as--1 sured fact.

The ball players that are on hand headed by Manager Behringer, went to the ball park yesterday afternoon, where they performed all kind of stunts, much to the amusement of the fans on hand. The park is being worked and is gradually rounding into shape for fast work. Newspaper clippings have been received from Dallas, Texas, where Clarence Biersdorfer is playing, stating that he is setting the league on fire by his remarkable pitching. "Beity" has the goods, and if he will only stay away from the red light districts, will more than make good for his team. Besides, pitching remarkable ball, he is hitting at an awful clip for a pitcher. Keep up the work “Beity” we are for you. Several practice games will be in-

dulged in during the next few days, and on Stiday the following team will line up against the professionals: Peters, catcher; Buffenbarger,pitcher: Pennington, first base; France, second base; Peterson, third base; Linn, short stop; Coffee, left "field; Johns, center field; Frisinger right field, with several well known men on the bench in case they are needed. The above named team will play hard to win, and expect to make the professionals go some to beat them. Jim Pierce, a second baseman and all around ball player, abrived last evening from Indianpolis and joined the squad. Pierce is a husky looking chap, and had the trade mark of a ball player on him. Pierce has played semi-professional ball for years and is reputed as being a fast man. He had chances to go elsewhere, but having signed with Manager Behringer, he refused to be induced to break his contract All is in readiness for the opening game of the base ball season to be played Friday afternoon, at which time the Frankfort semi-professional team will take on Kokomo-Sharpsville team, which has a record of sixteen games won out of eighteen played. It will be the first regular game for the Frankfort team, but Capt Wilson has promised the fans that his boys ; will make the Wildcats go some if I they get the long end of the score. — I Frankfort Crescent. Spear, a former South Bend Central league man, arrived here Thursday to ' join Hartford City. He has been laid up with a sprained ankle, but is now iin condition to work. He will start in the game Thursday afternoon. —Hart- ! ford City News.

mrs. mckinley is improved. Only Temporary, However —No Hope for Her Recovery. Canton, Ohio, May 24. —Mrs. McKinley's strength is being kept up by stimulants, and a good heart action has developed. If anything her coni dition was improved this morning. Dr. Hartman said she may live one or two weeks, but this is without doubt her last illness. Dr. Rixey and Secretary" Cortelyou arrived this morning from Washington. Relatives, Including Mrs. McKinley s sister, are I with her. The following bulletin was given out : bj" Drs. Rixey. Portman and Ryman this afternoon. Mrs. McKinley's con dition is improving and we trust v ill continue to improve. Her condition however, is serious, the principal difficulty being to give nourishment. There is a decided improvement as to the paralysis, which was confined to one arm. Dr. Rixey agreed that no change in the treatment prescribed is advisable. During the morning she came out of her comatose condition and recognized Secretary Cortelyou. but could not speak. o The Woman's Relief Corps are requested to meet at the G. A. R. hall Sunday morning at ten o'clock sharp to march in a body to the M. E. church where the mertnorial sermon will be delivered by Rev. Wilcox.

ANOTHER POSITION Given to Mr. Penfield of Auburn AGENT NICARAGUA ARBITRATION President Has Many Visitors Who Find Out But Little—Sherman for Governor of Illinois. Washington. May 23.—Persons who expected the President to make some observations on the recent developments in the contest for the Republican nomination for the presidency on his return from his outing at Pine Knot, Va, were disappointed. A good many public men called at the White House today, but the chief executive did not discuss politics with them. Speaker Cannon was with the president more than an hour, and during the day Senator Lodge, Senator Cullom, Representative Cocks, of the president's home congressional district, and several other members of the House of Representatives called. The presence at the White House of Representaitve Longworth, the president's son-in-law, gave rise to a report that there was to be an important conference on the Ohio situation, but neither Secretary Taft nor any of his many managers saw the president during the forenoon.

It is pretty well understood that Longworth brought the president a complete report of the Ohio situation. In well-informed quarters it was said that the president has not abandoned all hopes of persuading Secretary' Taft to accept a compromise which will provide that Foraker shall be supported for the senate and that the senator shall in return drop his fight to prevent Taft from obtaining an undivided delegation in the national con vention. From the same source it was learned that the administration will not attempt to prevent the indorsement of Senator Knox for president by the Pennsylvania Republican state convention on June 6.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who notified the president todaj- that Lawrence Y. Sherman. Lieutenant-Gover-nor of Illinois, will not accept a place on the Spanish treaty claims commissions, intimated that Sherman might be preparing to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Illnois. When Sherman was appointed to the federal place three weeks ago, he promptly accepted, and the senator was surprised to receive a letter from him t6day saying he had decided not to take the place. The evcuse he offered was that <>wing to complications in the state legislature, he feels it his duty to hold on to the office of lieutenant-governor. Harrj" K. Daugherty, of Pennsylvania, who was recommended bv Senator Knox, was promptlj" appointed to the place on the commission.

justice Day, of the United States supreme court, has been appointed by the president as arbitrator in behalf of the United States in the arbitration of the question over mahogany concessions in Nicaragua that is shortly to be held between the governments of Nicaragua and the United States in this city.

William L. Penfield, of Auburn, Ind., formr solicitor of the stat department has been designated as agent and counsel for the United States in the arbitration. Senor Enrique Creel, ambassador to the United States from Mexico, has been tentatively selected by President Zelaya to represent the Nicaragua government as arbitrator, but the ambassador has declined, and it is probable that another Latin American ambassdor or minister will be selected. The arbitration is for the settlement of the heavy claims of George D. Emery & Co., of Boston, against the Nicaragua government, which has been pending for some time. This company several years ago obtained what some assert is the most valuable mahogany concession in the world. The company says that President Zelaya, by granting other concessions on certain tracts of this concession and by other actions, has seriously interefered with its operations. The extent of the damages claimed has not been definitely fixed in dollars as yet. but will probably be set forth by the protocol, which is now being drawn up by Mr. Penfield. o ZION EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.
