Manager, The newspaper comments on the work of the Denver convention show that all of the trust organs have naturally lined up for Taft. Nothing is left for the people to do except to line up for Bryan. He ought to get the biggest majority in history. The present price of hay establishes clearly and unmistakably the unvarying workings of the law of supply and demand. When there was comparatively little hay in th e market, a year ago, it was no uncommon thing for farmers in this part of the country to get from S2O to $23 a ton. The supply being extraordinary this year, they would consider themselves fortunate if they could get half that price. —South Bend Times. The Philadelphia Record is another of the widely circulating daily papers that bitterly opposed Bryan in 1896 but will support him this trip. The Record is an exceedingly able paper. While it is not overly sanguine of maknig much of an impression on Pennsylvania, Th e Record thinks by thorough organization and systematic campaigning New Jersey and perhaps New York may be redeemed next November. —South Bend Times. On leaving his home in New York to consult with Mr. Taft, Georg e R Sheldon, the new treasurer of the Republican national committee, said: “I fully appreciate th e honor and responsibility conferred. I notice that the newspapers already have resurrected the old charge that I am connected with th e trusts. As I havo never yet heard a «atisfactory definition of that bugaboo, 1 don’t know whether I am or not. ’ So the trusts are only a "bugaboo” in the opinion of the Hon Mr. Sheldon, who is Mr. Taffs financial manager! A blind man can see what this means. It is a hundred to one shot that one C. O. Sulloway will never have the nerve to face an audience in the eighth congressional district. The reason is that his record in congress, especially as chairman of the committee on invalid pensions, is so absolutely intollerent that if he has any self respect he will want to fight shy of a discussion of it. The eighth district will hear much about C. O. Sulloway before the campaign ends. When it comes to records there will be a laying bare all around, and the record of John Adair will be sweet smelling when compared to those who are now occupy!' 1 the limelight. The Cromer-Hawkins machine, through their hired mouthpiece, the Muncie Star, threatens to bring their man Sulloway to the Eighth district during the congressional campaign just because the democratic newspapers of the district, and the public generally, failed to swallow all that the Star and Sulloway would have hav e them be-

lieve. Nothing would suit the friends of Congressman Adair any better than ! for “Uncle’’ Nate to trot his man Sulloway all over th e district, but Sulloway would hardly consent to such a plan if he knew that most of the towns in the district have gone dry. Besides Mr. Sulloway might be compelled to face some unsavory facts about his record as a friend to the soldier. — Portland Sun. “Uncle” Nate is a remarkabl eman. Congressman Adair was first elected city clerk, couny clerk, representative and congressman and each time carried Jay county by increased majorities. This would indicate that he stands high in the esteem of his neighbors who know him beat, But all at once “Uncle” Nate made a strong bid and secured the congressional nomination and presto, chango! Hawkins turned on his mud batteries and now see what Adair is! “Uncle" Nate once trusted the people when h e ran for senator and although the county is about 300 republican he lost it by 488—a nelf Ipss of nearly 800. As against Adair he will lose Jay county ths time by perhaps 2,000. —Portland Sun. HE IS BOUND OVER Ora Sells Waives Preliminary Examination and is Bound Over BOND FIXED AT S3OO L, C. DeVoss Has Been Engaged by the Defendant —Next Term of Court Ora Sells who is incarcerated in the county jail upon the charge of non-support of his child, has waived preliminary examination and he will be content to be bound over to the circuit court without going over the issues of th e case in a justice of peace court. The imprisoned young man ralizes the enormity of his infringement of the law and although he has not made known his course of defense it is safe that points will be advanced on both sides which will border on sensationalism. Attorney L. C. DeVoss has been engaged by the defendant and this morning a bond of S3OO was prepared for the signatures ■ f those who care to secure the defendant’s appearance for trial. However, no one had signed the bond as we go to press. Selig was employed at Fredericktown, Ohio, and seemingly was getting along nicely when arrested by Policeman Fisher, but his refusal to obey the law’ has gotten him into trouble which will require a great deal of explanation to bring about exoneration. The bond if signed, must be approved by Squire J. H. Stone before Selig will be released from cubI tody. Th e trial of this case will com e up in the next term of court. o~— —— —— William Bell was in th e city today looking up old friends. Mesdames M. E. Brackett and L. E. Steele are visitors at Fort Wayne this afternoon. Miss Celia Smith will leave Monday morning for Detroit, Michigan, where she will spend her vacation. Mesdames Beronica Smith, Margaret Meibers and Elizabeth Ehinger have gone to Huntington for a visit with friends and relatives. Work on the foundation for the building of the Berling Packing Co,, began yesterday. As soon as this is completed the rest of the building will be rushed to completion, so as to be ready for their heavy fall work. oDemocrat Want Ads, Pay.

This preparation works wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. It acts directly upon the walls of the stomach tmd towels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten without distress or suffering. So positive are the good effects following th e use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by Holthouse Drug Co. under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure. A 56 cent box of Mi-o-na will do the good the stomach needs, which is simply to make it do its own work. — ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH.

• | WORKING ON HIS ACCEPTANCE W. H. Taft is Busy With His Letter of Acceptance. , Hot Srings. Va., July 16. —Judge William H. Taft, js feeling very comfortable tonight over the fact that the draft of his speech of acceptance of the nomination for presidency by the republican, party has been finished. . But the paper is far from being completed. Mr. Taft adopted the course of .Dick, *<in<|luding everything he might possibly care to have in it, with ■ the view to cutting it down so that essentials briefly stated might remain to be presented to the people at Cincinnati on July 28. The dictation today amounted to 10.000 words that will b* reduced to a? near $3,500 as possible. J. D. Nidlinger is recovering nicely. He is up and around again. A few days ago Dav e Hensley, the well known jeweler, was completely surprised by his own uncle. His uncle's name is John Hensley from Jefferson. lowa, and "Hech” had never met him before, he only knowing that such a person was living. Imagine him when in walks his uncle, whom he never saw before. Mr. Hensley did not know the man until he introduced himself and then such handshakings. Mr. Hensley’s father, who lives at Marion, Ind., was fooled in the same way.
