The Parker Review in its last issue contained an editorial endorsing Theodore Shockney for the republican nomination for congressman for this district. The endorsement is in the nature of a suggestion, as the paper states that it is not sure Mr. Shockney would accept the nomination, but bases its endorsement on the fact that Mr. Shockney has had congressional ambition in the past. The friends of Judge John W. Macy, of this city, are also feeling the public pulse as to the advisibility of that gentlemen’s candidacy for the same nomination. As to Mr. Macy’s feelings we are not advised. but taking into consideration the chaotic condition of the republican party in this disrict, it is to be sincerely hoped that there will be no clashing of booms, especially in Randolph county.—Winchester Journal. The chattel mortgage book in the recorders office would show the approach of Christmas if there were no calendar in the office. At this time of the year the number or mortgages is always heavy and during the last week or ten days the time of the clerk has been taken almost continuously in recording mortgages which are chiefly on household goods. Many of the enumerations include everything the house contains and in case of failure to pay there would be no alternative but to break up housekeeping. People surely should appreciate Christmas presents purchased at such a sacrifice.

WAS NOT DECIDED Judge Merryman Took the Rice Case Under Advisement. EXCITING SCENES Court Threatened to Fine Parties for Contempt of Court. Arguments were heard In the Rice habeas corpus case this morning and they were rather heated too. L. C. DeVoss appeared for the plaintiff and Shaffer Peterson for the defendant, and some rather pointed remarks were made, the former intimating that the records had been changed. However, the affair was finally smoothed out and the arguments continued. Judge Merryman took the case under advisement and will render a decision within a day or two. Not for many months has there been a case heard here in which so much feeling has been shown. During the evidence yesterday afternoon. various parties became considerably .excited. J. M. Rice at one time threatening Attorney DeVoss and the court threatened to fine several for contempt of court if the scenes continued. The court room was well filled with interested spectators. Mayor W. J. Hosey and the members of the board of public works are endeavoring to arrange a meeting between all of the track elevation interests so that an understanding as to what the steam and traction lines that are Interested propose to do. The question of the clearance at Calhoun street and Broadway and a numoer of ether points will be brought up and the city authorities will endea.or to get the companies to take some stand. They will not brook further delay in the matter as time enough has trrnspired to give each corporation an opportunity to outline its policy and the officials of the city will get them all together and take steps to have the work opened up without any further delay.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

A Pittsburg department store has discharged a number of its feminine employes because they insisted upon wearing large pompadours. Things are coming to a pretty pass when the stern, harsh dictates of business tries to interfere with the feminine prerog-ative-to make itself beautiful in the manner which Dame Fashion has decided for the time being is the correct thing. A few more experiences of this sort will convince every woman that the business life is really not her sphere. The antisaloon people in Hartford City have decided upon a campaign to put the local saloons out of business and the saloonkeepers are beginning to sit up and take notice. The Rev. Mr. Beard, who is credited with the blanket remonstrance which made Eaton a dry town, has been imported for the purpose of making a fight for prohibition in this city. At a meeting held at the Christian church Tuesday night there was a large turn out of people opposed to the saloons and it was decided to attempt their extermination. —Hartford City News.
