The state auditor s office, which was “reformed" by the last legislature by increasing the expenses for salaries from >19,000 a year to >50,000 a year, is one of the working assets of the Republican state machine. The Republican state machine is one of the working assets of the Fairbanks' machine. E. E. Neal, of Hamilton coun ty is one of the new clerical cogs put in the auditor's office when it was “reformed” last winter by the addition of something like a dozen new clerical cogs altogether, at big salaries. It would hardly do for Fairbanks to come out and say that he wants Cortelyou nominated for vice president on the ticket with him. So E. E. Neal, the aforesaid new clerical cog in the state auditor's office, is given a chance for distinction. What he does is thus recorded by the Indianapolis corre spondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer: “An Indiana boom for George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury department, for the Republican nomination for vice president has been started by E. E. Neal, a well-known Republican politician, in a newspaper he publishes at Westfield, Hamilton county. He pays Cortelyou a glowing tribute and urges others in Indiana to join in having him placed on the ticket next year. “Apropos of Neal's efforts, some of the Republican leaders who belong to the Fairbanks machine, are telling a

story, the substance cf which is that Cortelyou favors the vice president for president, and is desirous of making the race with him as the nominee for vice president. They declare that Cortelyou never has been for Secre tary Taft, notwithstanding his close relations with President Roosevelt, and that he secretly desires his defeat.” As was to be expected the president in his Indianapolis speech said some pretty sharp things about railroad speculators. By very general consent it was taken that in these remarks he was talking about Harriman. All the other railroad managers were immensely pleased with the speech when they saw that Mr. Roosevelt had found a scapegoat for them, and that, besides, he had committed himself to the doctrine of exclusive federal con trol, with no state interference of any kind. DOPE FOR THE FANS. Kerwin, the shortstop who came in last Saturday for a tryout, was released last evening by Manager Behringer and he left today for his home at Chicago. Kerwin, although a nice clean ball player, had a tendency to take sudden trips in an airship, especially in pinches and for this reason and none other he was let loose. Nash, an outfielder, who had been playing with Lebanon, returned with the team yesterday and will be used regularly in right field. Nash is a good hitter and a fast fielder and will be used by Manager Behringer to head the batting order. Nash certainly looks to have the goods. Capt. Hare got only one opportunity to pilfer a base, but he did it in fine style, diving into "Abe Martin” Pierce, who was on the line with sufficient force to take the latter off his feet and cause him to drop the ball.—Lebanon Reporter. Bluffton broke the streak, but we will try and start another Sunday, when the boys clash with Decatur at league park.—Journal-Gazette. Decatur will be here in force Sun- ' day to cheer on their favorites. It

is claimed that Decatur is faster in respect than last year. Well, so are we.—Journal-Gazette. o NOTICE.

Phelim?” “ 'Cause me master belaves in me veracity intoirely,” was the response •f Phelim. He lighted his short pipe and took his accustomed seat on a broken chair near the chimney. “I tould him this morning that I couldn't help being late an' that I had run a molle in a minute an' a half to get there in toime. An’ what do ye think he said?” “Mebbe that ye desarved another sixpence a week.” “Better than that. These are his very words. ‘O'Grady,’ses he, 'Oi wud just as soon belave ye if ye sed ye had done it in half a minute.' So ye see what faith he has in me veracity intoirely.”—London Answers. a vurious r act. “I have some very strong letters of Introduction.” said the caller. “My friend.” answered Senator Sorghum, “I don't rely too far on communications of that kind. A man will give you a letter of introduction describing you as possessed of every noble quality in human nature and in the next breath refuse to indorse your note for >20.”- -Washington Star. A Bad Outlook. Mother--Dorothy, I have to be scolding you all the time! Dorothy—Well, all I can say. mamma, is I’m sorry for the man who gets you for a mother-in-law. —Smith’s Magazine. A lazy man goes far, and he who shuns labor labors doubly. — Greek Proverb.

The Origin of • Great Invention. On one of the daily trips of young Westinghouse from Schenectady to the foundry at Troy his train was held up by a bad wreck. Two freights had come together in a head-on collision on a piece of straight track. The engineers had seen the danger plainly, but by the time the band brakes were brought into play it was too late. The young man allowed these facts to sink into his mind. Then he said to one of the train hands: “If the engineers had been able to control their trains from the cabs, the wreck could have been prevented, couldn't it?” “Control ’em how?” “Brake them.” “Yes. They had lots of time." That was enough. The air brake was conceived. Amid the piled up wreckage the thing that was to make the name of Westinghouse familiar to every schoolboy the world over was called into being. It did not come in its perfected form, but the idea itself had germinated.—Paul Latzke in Everybody’s. ' A Fight In the Air. W. E. Webb, the author of “Buffalo Land,” tells this cat story: The chicken hawk of the west Is a savage and dangerous enemy, but once one of these air pirates got worsted. I was sitting in front of the doctor's office when a hawk shot down with wonderful rapidity of wing—so fast that its shadow seemed hardly to reach the earth before its body. It pounced upon the doctor's favorite kitten, which lay asleep on the grass, and made off with it At an elevation of about fifty feet puss recovered from its surprise and went to work for liberty. Its feline mind was exercised to astonishment and wrath. Twisting like a weasel, its claws came uppermost and to my straining gaze a sight presented itself much like a feather bed being ripped open in midair. The amazed hawk received new light on the subject of prey, let go and made off like a badly plucked goose, but the cat came safely to earth—on its feet. Sure Cure. “Here's a letter from a young man.” said the answers to correspondents editor, “who wants to know how he can break himself of the cigarette habiL” “Tell him to marry a strong minded woman who objects to it” growled the snake editor.—Chicago News. What Is a Baby? A baby: That which makes home happier, love stronger, patience greater, hands busier, nights longer, days shorter, the past forgotten, the future brighter.—Rupert's Magazine. No man has learned anything rightly until he knows that every day is doomsday.- -Emerson.

MEET REQUIREMENTS If a pure clothes law nassed and pare clothes Inspectors ap . pointed bv the government, special h Ot . orable mention would be given to the XTRA GOOD brand we sell. The repg. tation of our goods would be immensely increased. Every one would want to buy of us. Moreover, if such laws required the strictest sanitary precautions on the part of the makers and prescribed a high standard of quality for linings and cloths and called for a certain grade of tailoring for garments at each price from the lowest to the highest, we would be found to exceed requirements in every particular. From beginning to end our Boys’ Clothes are made to give the utmost wear and satisfaction, and the prices are reasonable. Holihouse, Schulte & Co, Good Clothes Seiler for Men and Boys
