Johnson, says that Indiana "raises more money by bond issues for the construction of highways and bridges than any other state in the Union,” but he does not believe the money is well expended. He says that "an investigation would show that extravagance, or what is worse than extravagance, has run riot in the letting of bridge contracts in Indiana.” Mr. Johnson points out that the briige i grafters have been knocked out in I Illinois, and we all know what Ohio' has done to the same kind of pirates. But in Indiana the bridge trust has worked openly in every corner of the state and does so yet. The late attomev general. C. W. Miller, said his party had not passed an effective antitrust law and he could do nothing. The present attorney general. James Bingham, with his army of deputies and assistants, is after the constables and has no time for small game like theb ridge trust and the other trusts. BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT Bourke Cockram in an address to the graduating class of the Nebraska state university, said that the political and commercial standards of the country were undoubtedly lower than they were a generation or more ago, but that a hopeful sign lay in the popularity of Theodore Roosevelt and William J. Brfan. The popularity of these leaders, he said, is a good indication that the public conscience is right; that it has only to be directed in order to work an improvement in the present conditions of graft and greed. As a matter of fact the people of this country are all right when they take the pains to look about them and see what is going on. Mr. Roosevelt achieved his greatest popularity by accepting things that the Democratic party has long stood for. Tnt Mr. Roosevelt has been all along a strong Republican partisan and he did not have the courage to stand out strongly against the gray wolves of his party. Mr. Bryan is unhampered in this respect. He is thoroughly in accord with the people on all vitals questions, and, what is more, he has the support of his party and the good will of the great mass of the xmericar, people regardless of political lines.

CURED TO STAY CURED. How a Decatur Citizen Found Complete Freedom from Kidney T r oubies. If you suffer from backache — From urinary disorders — From any disease of the kidneys. Be ciged to stay cured. Doan s Kidney Pills make lasting cures. Decatur people testify. Here's one case of it: Mrs Ji. Case, Bring at 604 Russell street. Decatur, Ind., says: "In 1902 I gave for publication as tatetaect recommending Doan s Kidney Pilis, because they had cured my little girl. She had been troubled for fifteen or twenty months with her back and whenever she caught a slight eold. it always settled in her back and she was constantly complaining of a dull aching pain over her kidneys. I gave her several remedies that were highly recommended for such trouble, but they gave little relief. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got her a bci at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store. They cured her and until this lay there has been no return of the complaint. My husband has also used Doan’s Kidney Pills for pains across his loins and they cured him.

BEST OF SEASON Was the Ball Game Tuesday Afternoon WEBBERS TIMELY HIT WON IT Lebanon Defeated by the Score of Two to One After a Well Played Battle of the Diamond Weber, our new first baseman. was the hero of yesterday s contest, and last evening all that could be heard upon the streets was "Oh, wa.m't that a beautiful base hit.” Or. "What do you know about Weber s hitting ability." and "ain't he the candy kid." and in any such similar remarks that go to show the appreciation of the people who attended yesterday s base ball game and saw Weber make a pretty single over second base in the eighth inning when the bases were full, thus driving in two runs and winning one of the most stubborn fought games that was ever ' seen played on the local grounds. For ■ seven innings the locals struggled ■ along getting men on bases and gett--1 ing them around as far as third base. ; but not a man could they force over I the counting territory until the fatal j eighth, when Mr. Hawkins, the visi itor's pitcher, made a pretty little ‘ balloon ascension, and lost his own • game. Nash was the first man up and i was out from second to first; Beh- | ringer walked. Linderbeck was hit by a pitched ball in the back. Bums , was also hit by a pitched ball and I the bases were full. Weber stepped Ito the piate full of determination and swung heavily upon two curve balls j missing them the third ball he coni nected with, sending it on a line I across second base, pushing Behringer and Linderbeck over the couflting ; territory and it was practically ail over but the yelling as Lebanon could 'do nothing in her half of the ninth. The visitors however, were hustling for runs all through the game and ; put up a great contest and the run they scored in the second inning look- ' ed like a mountain as the locals were being mowed down right and left and the loyal fans had commenced to won- > der if Decatur was equal to the occasion. It was in the seventh inning that the visitors looked the most I dangerous, when after two men were ' out, the bases were filled and Hare t the man of football fame, was at the I bat; however, he looked as small to ; Geyer as any one and was retired ', upon three pretty strikes, thus avoid- ■ ing a dangerous point in the game. . Both Hawkins and Geyer pitched a beautiful game, the former being credited with the best game as only , five hits were registered off his delivery. while the visitors secured ten hits off Geyer, these however, being i very widely scattered. Only one eri ror was made in the entire contest this being credited to the visitors. • but it did no material damage, as jno one scored on the misplay. That ! the two teams are evenly matched was evidenced by yesterday s contest, and a red hot game is scheduled today ; between the two teams, and should attract a large crowd, as the Lebanon ■ team is composed of a lot of ball ■ players of no mean ability. The folj lowing box score tells the tale.

Sunday by scores of 11 to 1 and 9 to 0. McCann played first base and caught.—Hartford City News. It certainly was a great game. Geyer had the goods and deserved to win. Weber, the first sacker, won a home for himself in Decatur by his work in the eighth inning. Keep up the clip, Weber. Pierce led the team in hitting yesterday. he securing two hits in four times up. a five hundred clip. The visiting team is made up of a bunch of ball players who know how to play the national game. The feature of the entire game was when Geyer struck out the hard hitting “Bunny" Hare, when the bases were full in the seventh inning. Lefty certainly has the nerve in pinches. The Kokomo-Sharpsville »bunch comes tomorrow and Friday and two more warm games are scheduled. This team is one of the strongest in the state. Hawkins lost his own game in the eighth when he walked one man. hit two others and permitted Weber to single. However, we have no kick coming. Hawkins. Jim Keefer, the editor of the Ossian News, has the swellest press box built you ever looked at and invites I visiting scribes to help him occupy it. The local telephone company has ■■ a phone in the press box for the accommodation of those attending the I games, free of expense to anybody and j everybody.—Bluffton Banner. When the Clover Leaf train pulled lout of the city Tuesday morning it j carried the members of the Frankfort |and Lebanon base ball teams, the forj mer being ticketed to Bluffton and the I latter to Decatur where it is to play • two games with Behringer's team. | The Lebanon team reached the city lover the interurban line just a short I time before the Clover Leaf train left • the city. All was lovely as the train _• left the city and both teams felt certain of winning the games they are to ■ play away from home. So mote it be. —Frankfort Crescent.

First baseman Harry Weber is now ' J with Decatur, but will probably go to < Bartlectsville within a week. Decatur. ; played the Ft. Wayne Shamrocks ■ Sunday and won by a score of 5 to 3. : - Weber was here Monday. Both i Bluffton and Decatur wanted Hart-' ford City’s first sacker and he flipped ■ a coin to decide which place he ‘ would go and Decatur won. Weber expects to take up the study erf medicine this winter at Leland Stanford ■ university in California, and is anxious to get started west, hence his decision to go to Bartlettsviße.— Hartford City Gazette. The fast Dunkirk ball team returned last evening from a week’s trip after , winning a good bunch of games from some of Indiana’s beSt clubs. Manager Frazee has a club now which locks j like Indiana championship winners, J and so far have won the series with 1 each club they have met. This will be another busy week for the boys; . Tuesday and Wednesday they meet the Portland team. Ont of six games with Portland the locals have taken . five. Thursday and Friday the locals are at Frankfort. —Dunkirk News. Frankfort defeated Bluffton yesterday by a score of 7 to 0. — Dunkirk was defeated at Portland yesterday by a score of 2 to 1. Hay pitched the game and let Portland j down with three hits.
