They will hold their state convention, nominate their candidates and promulgate , their platform of principles before the . Republicans. They propose to take ; the initiative and to organize their forcee for a victory In the state. They will speak freely, fairly and openly upon all questions of national and state concern, and will not be dominated by any Influece other than that of good government, economically administered. They want to wipe off the slate the scandalous extravagance of state administrations. They want to be correctly understood upon every issue in the campaign and above all they propose to show that the Indianapolis News is a traducer of truth, and a moral degenerate of the first water. On with the dance. Administration organs loudly claim that President Roosevelt did not cause the panic. Perhaps not. But the protective tariff failed to prevent it.— Commoner. MRS. LESLIE CARTER IN DU BARRY. Mrs. Leslie-Carter, tne most distinguished dramatic artiste of our time, will present David Belasco’s play * Du Barry" at the Majestic theater. Fort j Wayne. Saturday, Feb. 15. matinee and ■ night Mrs. Carter’s rendition of this I role is one of the most complete histrionic triumphs of modern times. That her rendition of Du Barry should have overtopped her marvelous impersonation of Zaza, seems incredible; but that is what occurred when she appeared in this great play. As one critic said “It was a triumph for Mrs. Carter from start to finish." Another writer said "There has been no finer , psychological study than this latest tour de force of Mrs. Carter.” It has been the same wherever this great play has been presented —the acceptance of the greatness of the actress and the surprising merit of the play. | Mrs. Carter is supported by a veryfine company and the production is the same as the one in which she first appeared.

THEY MOVED TODAY Students at Indiana Did Manual Labor Today for ■ Law Department SHOWS AN INTEREST A Hundred Young Men Assist in Transferring Big Library

Bloomington. Ind.. Feb. 8. —The future Daniel Websters and Blackstones did manual labor at Indiana university today; the members of the Indiana Vniversary Law School, donned their working clothes and transferred the law department, green bags and baggage, from the old law school quarters on the third floor of Wylie Hall to the beautiful building turned over to that school this year—Maxwell Hall, the old library building, which was vacated when the new library building was completed. About 100 members of the law school joined with the professors and made the change in short order. Owing to the fact that the university is short of funds, the authorities found that it would be impossible to hire enough men to make the transfer in one day. and thus not cause any time to be lost. Two or three days would have been required by the present force of regularly employed janitors, and the students figured that that time would be lost to them. In order to avoid that, they met last Tuesday afternoon, and decided to help out in the moving. And they did the job completely and I carefully. Over 6,000 volumes of the ; law library were moved thus. Some lof the professors placed the books I in boxes and started the line of students for the new building. There, they were taken in charge by others of the profeesors and the assistant librarians and put in their proper places on the stacks. “This action, voluntary as it was, just illustrates the interest our lay students have in the school,” said Prof. E. G. Hogate, Dean of the school today. “They stated’ to get in our commodious new building and quickly; and they were willing to do the work to get there.” , The new law building is one of the , best equipped in the country, having [ the best library facilities; good moot court rooms; large class roms; consultation, lounging and study rooms. The law school has a yearly enrollment of more than 200 students, o KEEPING OPEN HOUSE. Everybody is welcome when we feel 1 good; and we feel that way only when

DEATH RELIEVES K Nicholas Lange Died this Morning After Illness of u h Several Months t i WAS WELL KNOWN 1 £ His Illness Became Serious Ony a Few Days Ago— Funeral Monday Nicholas G. Lange, aged thirty years died last evening at his home in the north part of the city at seven o’clock after an illness dating back nearly a year, death resulting from tuberculosis and brain trouble. Mr. Lange was j born and reared in this county. Several years ago. when the De- I" catur Cement Roof and Block company ; opened up their plant in the north part ] of the city Mr Lange secured a posi- i, tion with this company as a molder. ( and a mixer of the substance that is , used in the manufacture of these , blocks. He worked steadily at this , job until last fall, when be took ill

and was unable to do anything. The doctors diagnosed his case several times, but the disease seemed to baffle them. During all this time Mr. Lange complained of his head and nothing seemingly could be done to relieve him. Last week the doctor who had his case in charge examined his patient thoroughly and found a hard substance or growth in his head. This is explained rather easily by the physicians who claim that the dust rising from the <- nieut substance he mixed was inhaled and formed a solid , substance in the head, which undoubt-1 edly caused the pain he suffered. The chief cause of his demise, however, was tuberculosis. Mr. Lange was a i hard working young man and was welt liked by all who knew him. He. during the past year had more than his share of misfortune, as one or more of his family was at all times ill and complaining and it was thus that the savings accumulated for several years were gradually consumed until nothing more remained and he and his family for several months have been almost destitute. Friends he did not lack and during his last days everything possible was done to make him comfortable. The funeral services will be held Monday morning at eight-thirty o'clock standard time at the St. Marys Catholic church, Father Wilken officiating, and interment will be made in the St. Joseph cemetery. He leaves a wife, two children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. ■■ Monkeys and Parrots. A lung specialist was talking about a famous scientist who had contracted consumption from a lot of consumptive monkeys that he had been experimenting upon. “This should be a lesson and a warning to us all.” he said, “for nothing is more dangerous to the lungs’ health than to have a monkey about the house. Practically all monkeys have ■ consumption m this climate, and it is , just as easy to take consumption from a monkey as from a man or woman. It is the same with parrots. They, too, have consumption, and they, too, are most apt to give the disease to those who pet them. As for me, rather than live in the same house with a pet monkey or a pet parrot I would take a cot in the hopeless ward of some conI sumptlves' hospital.” — New Orleans , Tlmes-Demoerat.

A Wedding Day Reminder. William James, the famous psychologist of Harvard, said at a dinner in Boston: “An odor often brings back memories that we had thought burled forever. As we regard some strange landscape it often seems to us that we have been just here before. The oddest, the most momentous associations oftentimes attach themselves to the most trifling things. “Thus at a Thanksgiving dluner that I once attended the hostess said to a sour faced man on my left: “ 'May I help you to some of the boiled rice, Mr. Smith? ‘“Rice? No, thank you—no rice for; me,’ Smith answered vehemently. ‘lt i is associated with the worst mistake of my life.’ ” OUR NATIONAL DANGER. Time to Cry a Hart Before Complete Wreck Results. There are thousands, both men and women, who do not take time to eat properly. They rush through life, and as a result we have an age of Indigestion, nervousness, irritability, sleepless n’ghts and morose disposition. Our national danger is stomach weakness, due to the strenuous Itfe. With the discovery of Mi-o-na tablets which strengthen the walls of the stotoach and stimulate secretion of the digestive juices, there is no longer any excuse for indigestion. Sick headaches, palpitation, yellow skin and coated tongue are a few of the many distressing results of indigestion that Mi-o-na never fails to Cure. Hoithouse Drug Co. sell Mi-o-na in 50 cent boxes, and guarantee to refund the money if it does not give complete satisfaction.
