The Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.) makes no effort to conceal the severity of the panic from which the country is suffering. On one phase of the panic the Inter Ocean says: "The panic of 1907 was in at least one aspect more severe than that of 1893 or that of 1873. In the earlier convulsions special kinds of currency commanded a premium. In the recent one any kind of currency that was tender for debts commanded a premium for more than six weeks. “How unusual this is where and when all the kinds of currency in use are known and recognized to be equal to gold may be judged from the fact that in England, through, all trade reactions and financial collapses that have occurred, this condition has not arisen since the time of th e Napoleonic. wars, nor in France since the war with Germany, and that even in the darkest days of the war the Paris premium for coin rose only once to 4 per cent, which was frequently paid in New York during November last. Cromer has not as yet broken the silence regarding his position in the Republican congressional contest. The convention will be held at Anderson in two weeks, on March 26, and if he is going to make an announcement one way or the other beforehand, an utterance should be expected from him very soon. His immediate advisers believe he should make the race, being of the opinion that he could be victorious at the general election. Cromer can control the nomina-

tlon if he desires. It is inferred that he is deliberating over the chances of defeat- or election before he announces his final attitude. Portland people complain that Uncle Nate Hawkins, candidate for congress, has failed to distribute any of his booklets in his home county. Just why Nate has turned his home people down in this manner is bard to explain, as the book says some mighty nice things about him,which would be news td his homo people who have known him from the ground up. After reading the book people would wonder if it means the N. B. Hawkins they know. People are so hard to understand in Jay county, you know, — Bluffton Banner. It is becoming more and more manifest to the people of the state that the campaign managers of the several republican gubernatorial candidates are as cheerful a bunch of liars as f ever blossomed forth in Indiana. ), Their optimistic claims are enough to cause a circus bill, recognizing its inefficiency as a booster, to shrivel on , the boards. —Fort Wayne News ' i (Rep.) The election of Congressman Dixon, J 1 of North Vernon, as chairman of the ,' Democratic congessional campaign 1 committee places him in a position of conspicuous honor and responsibility. And what is more, he is,by experience and ability, fully equipped to render his party the most valuable service throughout the campaign. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS. Taxes must be paid by May 4.

I COFFEE ON STAND (Continued from page 1.) that he had known Coffee for a num ber of years and that to his knowledge the defendant had never been intoxicated. He also related a conversation had with one George Worden, who is alleged to have stated ‘ that he now had a chance to get even with Coffee and would give him h —. Qa cross examination Haley stated that he did see the mayor drunk at one time, that being on the day before he was arrested for public intoxication and to which charge the mayor afterward plead guilty. Harmon Yager, Dr. C. C. Clrk, T. W. Shelton, and Albert Butler all testified that they had never seen the mayor drunk although they had seen him frequently. During the afternoon the court adjourned to permit the Republicans to hold a convention which resulted in a victory for Watson who secured the entire delegation of this township. IT MAYBE HARMON Seems to be Favored for Second Place With Bryan KERN A FAVORITE Figured Out That Hannon’s Nomination Would Be Good Politics Washington, March 11.—The latest drift of sentiment among the leaders of what is known as the Bryan wing of the Democratic party is in favor of the nomination of Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, for vice president on the Democratic ticket. Next to Harmon more talk is heard at this time of John W. Kern, of Indianapolis, than of any other vice presidential quantity. A formidable movement looking to the nomination of Harmon is developing. Some of Mr. Bryan’s closest friends, upon whom he relies for counsel. have figured out to their own complete satisfaction that the nomination of Harmon would be the most judicious selection that could be made. The two reasons given for this preference for Harmon are as follows: 1. His nomination would tend to conciliate what is known as the Cleveland or gold Democratic wing of the party. 2. Because of the bitter fight among Ohio Republicans, growing out of the state’s indorsement of a Republican presidential candidate, the nomination of an Ohiona on the Democratic national ticket might give that state to the Democrats. Some of Mr. Bryan's most confiden1 tial advisers are pointing out that he can afford to be magnanimous toward the gold Democrats who have opposed him in former campaigns and who dominated the Democratic national convention of 1904. The nomination of Harmon, these men say, would go a ■ long way toward healing the breach. The good politics of nominating an . Ohio Democrat for vice president this ‘ year also is being urged strongly upon Mr. Bryan. Harmon has long had ' presidential ambitions, but it is be- ■ lieved that he would consent to run for second place on the ticket with Bryan. ' COURT HOUSE NEWS 1 (Continued from page 1.) Esasias W.

SCHMUCK & MILLER BAY STATE HAS FIRST AMERICAN LINEN MILL Mechanical and Chemical Process That Saves Time, Labor and Money Puts New Industry on Profit Making Basis. With the announcement that a process of linen making has been discovered adaptable to American conditions keen interest is manifested in the details of the process by which it is expected that a large part of the $20,000,000 now spent abroad for linens will be kept at home. The Mudge process controlled by the Oxford Linen mills, whose first plant is being equipped at North Brookfield, Mass., is as follows: The flax straw is fed into a machine that removes the seed and passes the straw to a set of fluted rollers, w'hich, after breaking it. discharge it into revolving drums equipped with scutching and hackling machinery. In these drums the shive, or woody portion, is loosened from the fiber, which is now ready, after a final cleaning, to be passed into the tubs for the secret chemical treatment that removes the gums and bleaches the fiber to a pure white. This process takes only a day to produce results that require sixteen weeks by European methods. Not only is a vast amount of time and labor saved, but the new process yields almost twice as much fiber as the old from a given amount of straw, saves the seed, converts the shive into paper pulp and employs the tow for the making of “savoil,” a linen machinery waste, and “oxolint,” an absorbent /inen for surgical purposes. With the great economies made possible by this process and using a raw material that costs only a third as much as cotton in the making of fabrics that sell for much higher prices than cottons command, large profits are counted upon in this first successful effort at linen making In the United States, for the process has passed the experlmeutal stage. Dried Currant Pie. Some day when you wish a new dessert try a dried currant pie. This recipe was originated by a woman one year when fresh fruit was scarce. It proved a great success and was so delicious that it was called for many times afterward. Carefully pick over and wash one pound of currants. When the currants are ready for use pour coid water over them and drain it off Just before putting them into a pan lined with pie crust. Cover the fruit with bits of currant, grape or apple , jelly, cover the top crust and place In the oven. The heat in baking makes the currants swell up like fresh fruit 1 and melts the jelly into a delicious fruit sirup, thus making a very agree--1 able substitute for a fresh fruit pie. . ; Although the plans of the new tele- , [graph company, the Telepost, are be;ing carried on without an undue amount of publicity that might inicrease the opposition of the old com- ' ‘panies, good progress is being made, I and the establishment between sevi eral of the larger cities of wire servi ice at 25 cents for twenty-five words may be looked for at an early day. , —o . BLOCKADED. i I Every Household in Decatur Should Know How to Resist It. i L The back aches because the kidneys are blockaded. Help the kidneys with their work. The back will aclie no more. Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney Pills do this. Mrs. Herbert. Stout, of 302 south Morgan St., Bluffton, Ind., says: , “Doan's Kidney Pin s mined me of kidI ney complaint that had bothered me for over a year. The trouble started with a dull, miserable feeling in the , small of the back and grew worse and j worse until it became so bad that I was alarmed. The slightest cold or , over exertion settled in my back. There were sharp shooting pains all , through my back and limbs and I could hardly do my housework. Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and I got a box at Chas. C. Deam’s I drug store. I am glad I used them. because they cured me and that cure has remained permanent to this day. I am glad to confirm this statement I gave you in 1902 for publication regarding Doan's Kidney Pills.” Plenty more proof like this from Decatur people.
