Entered at the postoffice in Decatur Indiana, as second class mail matter. j. H. HELLER, Manager. Wiliam F. Wakeman, of New York, secretary of the American Protective Tariff League, recently made a trip through the west and returning gave out this interview: “I was greatly surprised on a trip I have just made through the middle west at the extent of the tariff revision sentiment. I believe in telling the truth and so I do not hesitate to say that this is a fact. While in Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland and Pittsburg. I talked with forty or fifty prominent business men and found them favorable to revision. I must admit too, that reports received by our organization indicate that the sentiment is general throughout the country. I confess that these reports and my interviews surprised me. Perhaps the sentiment is due to! our abundant prosperity. I will say | further that if this sentiment continues | the present administration will control the next republican convention and name its legatee. I believe President Roosevelt wants the nomination and under present conditions will get it, but there is grave doubt in my mind whether conditions wlil be the same. The convention is nearly a year away. There may be such a change by February as to make the naming of its legatee by the administration impossible.”

At last a "good trust” has been discovered. It is the tobacco trust and in its answer to the government suit this trust freely admits its goodness. A writer in the New York World tells the story in this way: "For Instance, the tobacco trust, instead of stifling competition. has maintained it among the companies which it controls. It never compels "he consumer to use a brand that he refuses to buy. In closing down small plants it did not aim at suppressing its former rivals products. for it continued to turn them out in its own factories. It does not possess a monopoly, because some of the tobacco trust’s rivals have survived in the face of its severe competition. It has not conspired to lower the price of leaf tobacco to the planter, because the planter, if he does not get his price, can grow other crops. It only took over the retail business when another corporation came to it for financial aid. Altogether the obacco trust on its own showing, is a beneficent institution seeking to do all the business it can according to the most profitable methods it can discover and in spite of the efforts of smaller competitors." Don’t forget to call at the Fuilenkamp store and inspect our new children s bearskin coats before you buy. 253-3 t WANTED—GirI to do light work in job room at this office. Apply at once.

It if not as bloodthirsty as ’he title would indicate but is fell of pathos, deep hsart interest, adventure and side-splitting bursts of laughter which relieves the more serious plot of the story. The play is ypictlly a border drama and exploits Indians. cowboys, but is withal, said to be one of the most rational and interesting plays of the kind ever produced. It is claimed that the scenery employed in this production is of surprising richness and fidelity to the locality of the play. In the second act in which an Indiana council is held, there is a remarkable realistic reproduction of a Council Fire, with Sarnes leaping upward apparently in the most natural maner. The weird Indian mui sic and chants: the unearthly dances i and warwhoops; the (autistic movements of the ghost dancers and a total eclipse of the moon, all tend to make this act one of interest and 1 novelty.

President Fledderjohann's demeanor in this matter is plain and it is an evident fact from tne manner in which he talked that he was perfectly honest in his argument tb.r at the present there was nothing to the proposed deal and would not be unless the figure asked by the local stockholders was reached, which under the exis ing circumstances he did not think it was possible for the W abash Valiev traction company to comply with Presid nt Fledderjohann desired to be plain in every respect to the ■>ublic. and in return says tha. ail < the stockholders ask of the citizens !of Decatur is that they assist them in every manner possible and that they speak a good word for the line tc their friends. The line is a geod thing for Decatur and the surrounding community and the promoters who hav- been working so hard to exist in the past should be encouraged. The company during the past year's of heir existence have furnished labor for many and have paid out thousands of dollars which has stayed in our city, and this feature alone brands ' them as something to be proud of. | T.

■ ■ < ■ ■■ — an elaborate entertainment A Great Reception to be Tendered to W. J. Bryan. Washington. Oct. 27. —Elaborate preparations are being made fer the entertainment of William Jennings Bryan on the occasion of his visit to the national capital next month The Nebraskan is coming to make an address before the students of the George Washington university Nov. 25, and he will be the guest of honor at a big banquet on the following I evening. More than 10® leading Dem ocrats met this week to outline the plans for the banquet, and a committee of fifteen has been named to engineer the political feast. Mr. Bryan s | visit is expected to be made the occasion for an announcement of his, attitude toward the Democratic nom-1 mation for president in ISt'S. and for; that reason his coming is looked for-. w;rd to eagerly. In a letter to Prof, j C. W. A. Veditz dean of .he college I of jjplitical sciences of the George I Washington university, he intima.ed that he would make "an important announcement.” Just what hat announcement is to be is largely a matter of guesswork, but it is thought probable that the "peerless leader” will declare his intention either of withdrawing as a candidate for the nomination or of remaining in the . lists and undertaking to head the Dem- ] ocratic national ticket. ■■ - w An assortment of children's bearskin ’ ■ coats have been received at the M.
