M. Adair for congress. Mr. Adair certainly has made good and deserves another nomination. —Berne Witness. And election.

"I and Hanly have done, more for the cause of temperance than any other element in Indiana,” says Jim Bingham. That is the spiel Jim. You may have some trouble in convincing the public, but that argument ought to land Jim Bingham all right. Now comes the First National Bank of this city with the plans and specifications for the finest and most cosmopolitan banking furniture and fixtures in northern Indiana. The improvement is one that will place Decatur in a class all by itself. Bluffton, go way back and sit down. The temperance plank that so conspicuously adorns the G. O. P. state platform, was written in the sancuary of the Columbia Club, the most notorious blind tiger in Indiana. Let's see, how many injunctions has Jim Bingham, that great and holy attorney general, brought against this G. 0. P. Monte Carlo? Count ’em, Jim. On the subject of local option. Thomas R. Marshall’s otherwise verv excellent keynote speech last week at Richmond strikes us as being a very cunning plea of the tricky attorney of a defendant client strongly suspected of guilt, and comes dangerously near pettifogging and begging the question. —Berne Witness. The question is, could a Democratic candidate for governor say anything on this particular issue, that would receive the endorsement of the Witness?

Attorney General Bingham makes a big splutter about somebody "tipping oft” his raid on the gamblers at West Baden and French Lick. As the men ■who are charged with keeping the gambling establishments at both places are Republicans and are doubtless contributors to the campaign funds of their party, it is likely that they were warned by persons who were in on the scheme. The Republican party doesn’t go to extremes with friends —not when an election is coming on. A GREAT STALLION.

It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order.

CASE CAME BACK Famous Faylor-Studabaker Law Suit Returned from High Courts COSTS ARE LARGE Have Reached $5,000 Mark —Motion to Retax Will Be Filed Tomorrow

The certified opinion of the supreme court of Indiana in the famous Fay or vs. Studabaker case arrived this morning and tomorrow attorneys for the Studabaker will argue a motion here to retax the costs. This is one of the greatest legal battles ever waged in j the state It originated in Wells coun-, ty, has been tried five times and gone, through both the supreme and appellate courts. When the appeal was taken the costs here were $4,500. The costs in the appellate and supreme court were $696.25, making a total of $5,196.25, charged against the plaintiff. The supreme court held the com-1 plaint bad, because no tender of money had been made to Studabaker and no one seems to know “just where they are at” in the affair. The case will either be retried here next fall or the costs settled and the cause began anew in which case the complaint] would have to be filed in the Wells circuit court. The farm in question has nearly been eaten up by costs and attorney fees now.
