When a man has the great popular following that Mr. Bryan has, the good he does for the cause of religion and morality by his precept and example is incalculable. The manner of his life, as well as the obvious sincerity of his utterances, must be eonced d by his strongest opponents to influence many away from wrongdoing to better thoughts and better lives. Our public men are usually believers. in ths Christian religion and affiliated with some denomination of that faith; but few of them care to identify themselves so directly in the public eye with the evangelical and devotional aspects of church life. In a world of crooked politicians he is straight. In a world of drinking men he is a total abstainer. In a world of the agnostic and the careless he is an avowed believer. He is a church man, a missions man, a praying man. It is a thing to be proud of, especially when as Americans we compare this sort of thing with the license and gayety that so often discredit the courts of the Old World. Mr. Bryan is a fine example of the best American manhood and a worthy friend and champion of American womanhood.—lndianapolis Star. W. J. Bryan spent Sunday and Monday in Indianapolis and every moment of his time was taken up,even then he could not speak to all who wished to hear him. His reception was the greatest ever given him in Indiana and about it seemed to circle a sincerity never manifested to such an extent before. None heard him who did not admit his greatness, his fitness for the presidency and Lis probability of election. Mr. Bryan may be elected president in November, and if this should happen it will be because people have acquired a confidence they did not formerly feel in. his character. —Indianapolis Star. There must be a change, when a paper like the Star can even admit this much. —1 J 1 3 La Grippe and Pneumonia Foley's Honey and Tar cures la grippe coughs and prevents pneumonia.

WELLS AND FLEMING ANNOUNCE Allen County Man Will Fight for Senatorship. Fort Wayne, Ind., Feb. 17. —William S. Wells, member of the house of representatives in the last session, today announced his candidacy for the nomination of senator in the joint senatorial district of Adams and Allen. His opponent is Stephen B. Fleming, w’ho was a member of the stat® senate in the sessions of 1899 and 1991, while Wells was a member of the lower house. As Adams county has a normal Democratic majority of 1,590 and Allen county has a normal Democratic majorjty of 2,000. the prospects are that the fight is altogether for the nomination. The date of the contest has not been set. Although the primary law under which Allen county will nominate county candidates is compulsory in this county only for ' candidates for county offices, the de- ■ termination of Adams county in ad- ■ vance to split its delegate vote In the i joint convention places the fight in the Democratic ranks of Allen county. The names of Wells and Fleming Will be placed on the ticket under the primary law’, and the man who gets the larger vote will get the entire : delegate vote of Allen county.

AN M. E. MINISTER Rev. E. E. Bergman Has Applied For and is Holding M. E. Charge AT MILL GROVE He is Received as a Full Fledged Member of Decatur M. E. Church What may be received as a surprise to many people in this city is the fact that Rev. E. E. Bergman, who for nearly one year occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church here, has entered the ministry in the M. E. church and is at present holding the charge at Mill Grove, Indiana, located a short distance southeast of Hartford City. At the session of the quarterly conference held at the M. E. church last night a letter was read from this young minister in which he asked admission to the Decatur church, and also the quarterly conference. The letter was gladly accepted and at the convention of the M. E. conference to be held at Anderson next April he will join the North Indiana conference. The Methodist church recognizes Rev. Bergman as a preacher of ability and without a doubt he will be a valuable acquisition to the already excellent corps of ministers in this conference. While here Mr. Bergman enjoyed the fellowship of a large circle of friends. He proved himself to be worthy of the title he possessed by being a practicer of what he preached. He was ever found faithful to the Christian cause, and his innumerable friends in Decatur predict a most prosperous future for him.

Burkhead. Auctioneer. —■ “THE YANKEE DOODLE BOY.’’ “Follow the leader.” one of childhood's happy gaes, is also applicable to business, and it is a wise man who is willing to concede that a competitor has figured out a good campaign of action and follows in his footsteps. Every fair minded theatrical manager concedes that Geo. M. Cohan was the first to introduce comedy dramas with music and the author of “Bud Hicks, the Yankee Dodie Boy,” willingly admits he is not entitled to any credit for this novel style of entertainment. It is simply a case of “follow the leader.” This happy blending of comedy, music, song and drama will be presented by a clever organization of players and singers at the Bosse opera house on Wednesday, Feb. 19.
