J. H. HELLER. Manager. Those northern Indiana republicans who were so mightily insistent for Charles W. Miller because they want the next governor to come from this half of the state need not repine. The democrats will fill the bill for them and Invite them to participate in the pleasures and honors of doing it. Thomas W. Marshall should be just as acceptable to a citizen of northern Indiana as Charles W. Miller and we believe a vast majority of them will so decide. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. The campaign that Charles W. Miller made for the republican nomination for governor was a costly affair. How many thousands of do’larj he invested in this undertaking is probably known only to himself and a few of his confidential friends. He has the “satisfaction,” however, of knowing that it cost James Eli Watson and his backers a good deal more to capture the “grand prize.”—South Bend Times. It was mean of the republic m convention to give Governor Hanly more applause than was given any other speaker, and then turn around and make him look like three dimes when it came to the nomination for lieutenant governor. And the worst of it is, they’re all blowing about how they showed him up.—Columbia City Post. It was just like Adair to bolt his party's filibuster if he thought they

were playing horse. John is business and has an old fashioned belief that the people care little about having fun at their expense. While a few democratic eongi'essnivn may have their “thoughts” of Mr. Adair's action, yet the voters will stand by him all right.—Bluffton Banner. The petitione is granted and the date set for Thursday, May 14, 1908. At this time the legal voters of Washington and Monroe townships will pass judgment upon the giving of the right-of-way to the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway, in return for which they will build their lines to Berne. The amount to be given is small and the cause is right. There being no more Methodist con- ■ ferences in sesesion.James Eli Watson left Sunday for Washington where he will spend a few days in congress. We ' believe that since the opening of the present session the first Monday in ■ December, he has answered one roll call. This does not worry Jim, however. Hon. Henry A. Barnhart, one of the ablest of the many able Democratic editors of the state, is being very much I talked about as a candidate for congress in the thirteenth district. As a candidate he deserves to win and as a member of the congress he would add lustre to its membership. It is still up to Governor Han’y His former friend Gocdwine landed by almost unanimous consent, and that too after he declared an open fight upo?. the Williamsport politician. N. T. Miller, the well known bridge contractor, has been confined to his bed at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Rowland, in Grand Rapids, Mich., since last Saturday, due to a stroke of paralysis, affecting his right side and rendering him almost helpless. It is his first stroke, and his physicians give hope that he will be up and around again but letters to relatives say that he has not been improving as satisfactorily as they had hoped.—Bluffton News. Mr. and Mrs. James Kelly, who has been at Bluffton visiting returned to Pleasant Mills this noon.

SERVICES WELL ATTENDED. Rev. Spetnagle Preached to Two Large Audiences. Rev. Spetnagle. pastor of the First Presbyterian church addressed two large audiences Sunday, the crowd being increased over the usual ones from the fact that both Rev. Hoist, of the Evangelical church and Rev. Wilcox, of the Methodist, were absent from the city attending conference. Rev. Spetnagle’s sermons were strong and interesting, and every one who heard him felt an interest id the subject’s chosen. The music too, was especially fine Sunday. Miss Florence Sprunger rendered two beautiful solos and the choir sang sacred anthems. o ■■ CONVENTION DAY Democrats Will Meet Here Tomorrow to Nominate Candidate for Senator ADAMS AND ALLEN S. B.
