J. Bryam Mr. Jack«9u is a clear honest and eouscietitioas min aM is known freest one *®d at th* stat* to the other as the original Bryan Dewxrat. Os coarse. ail Indiana Democrats are bow Bryan Democrats. bat Mr. Jackson was one am-ocz the first. and his loyalty and devotioa to the great Demoeratic leader daring the many trials of the past dozen years, has w<® the admimrioo of every Democrat in the state of Indiana. It is fitting at this time to choose him of ail other noble sons to lead in the third great battle tor the people's cnampic* The Bepibliean press hare had much to say about Mr. Jackses and h.s Intimacy with the brewery- interests of the state. There has never been anything said that is as much at variance with the life and character of Mr. Jacksm. Such a thought is even repulsive to his sense of right. We , have bat to take up the record of the mazy sots* hero states to brand as , false the accusation that the Deme-’ cratic party has any iatimacy with’ intemperance. Democrats in this part of Indiana would have appreciated the election I of lodge Richard K. Erwin. He would * have made a vigorous and aggressive j campaign His high standing and moral courage would have rallied the old guards and brought into action the varied elements of the party. Democrats in this part of Indiana, and for the matter of that, in other parts, will exceedingly regret that the state committee did not choooe Judge Richard K. Erwin, of Decatur, chairman of the organization. It seemed for a time that he would be the man on whom choice finally would fall, but the impossibility of getting a majority united against the candidate popularly viewed as the ‘Taggart man' undid th e strenuous effort made in Judge Erwin's behalf. “Dick" Erwin would have proved an ideal leader and could have wrought harmony out of what has been chaos. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. ■."..1 ■ ■■ COURT HOUSE NEWS (Continued from page 1.) from Jay county.

Bacteria In Butter. “Bacteriologists have shown us that ordinary batter is swarming with germs.” deciares Good Health. “A single teaspoonful of milk generally contains from 2.000,000 to 10,000.000 germs. The number may even be much larger than this. In the removal of cream from the milk the germs are taken with it and in the proceoa of churning the germa are collected with the fat, so in the butter we have the concentration of a large part of the germs contained in the milk from which the butter was derived. So tn a pound of butter derived from twenty pints wf mflk the number ot bacteria must be almost beyond A brief computation will show that the number of bacteria contained in a pound of butter might easily reach the euormous sum of five to ten billions.” A Touch of Vanity. On Nov. 25—St Catherine’s day— French girls who have passed their twenty-fifth birthday and are unmarried wear a little cap made of fine mus- | lin, the symbol of maidhood. As the I day approaches the millinery shops show these caps in great quantities. ] and their manufacture by young girls i is always accompanied by jokes at the expense of old ffiaids; but. strange to ' relate, these caps, because they are becoming to all, are worn on St Catherine’s day by young girls as well as by old maids.
