have a club house in Indianapolis that will measure up to the necessities and dignity of the (party. The Indiana Democratic club, which is both a local and state institution, is preparing to build a capacious home which will cost anywhere between SBO,OOO and $150,000. No one is prepared to say at this time just what bills of special importance will be introduced during the coming session of the legislature. There are several matters that will receive particular attention, but there is a very general hope that no time will be wasted on inconsequential things. Sixty days every two years is not a long time for the consideration of the

Toyland, Near North Pole,Dec. 22,1908 (Special.) To all the good boys and girls of Adams county, greeting: I have just concluded my schedule and find that I will finish my trip in time to be with Mr. Stoneburner at the Star theater, Decatur, at one o’clock Chrismas afternoon nd stay there until 12 o'clock at night. I want to see all my little friends and will have candy, nuts and popcorn for you. Bring your pa and ma. I may have something for them, too, and I know you will enjoy the show. Yours for a Merry Xmas, '. SANTA CLAUS.

I welfare ofjthree millions of people, but ordinarily it is quite long enough ptovided the members of the legislature confine their labors to the proposals that are really essential. This, it is believed, will be done at the comI ing session in a much larger degree 1 than in former years. 1 ________ The talk about Thomas R. Marshall 1 . for president in 1912 does not seem 1 to be making any impression upon him. Certain it is that he is paying ’ practically no attention to itt He ’ has other matters to think about at the present time, which are interesting him far more than is the prob- > able candidate of the democratic ' party four years hence. He is now 1 interested in giving the people of Indiana a good administration and state I matters are therefore receiving his > particular attention at the present I time. He has not discussed the presll dential situation at all and is not likely to have anything to say about his attitude for some time to come. — 1 Columbia City Post 1 The legislature will meet and organ- . ize on Thursday, Jan. 7, at which time retiring Governor Hanly will submit 1 his final pronouncement. There is I some curiosity as to what Mr. Hanly will say. He entered office with an . attack upon the administration of his 1 predecessor, Governor Durbin, and it

is not improbable that on disappearing into the capacious political grave which has been dug for him by his party associates he will leave behind an official last will and testament that will cause those same associates to sit up and take notice. Just what form the devises and bequests will take no one is likely to know until the will is read before the expectant mourners and interested spectators. DEATH IS CERTAIN Mrs. Crill Called to Bedside of Her Dying Mother AT HOAGLAND Woman is About Ninety Years of Age—Sustained a Fall Mrs. Frank Crill. of Hammond, who for many years resided in this city, was the recipient of a message yesterday to the effect that her mother, Mrs. Sweet, of Hoagland, was lying at the point of death and Mrs. Crill and daughter, Georgia, lefq immediately for this city, arriving here last evening. They went to Hoagland at eight o'clock after visiting a few hours with friends here to be at the bedside of the aged lady who, in all probability will die in the very near future. Mrs. Sweet, who is about ninety years of age, sustained a fall last summer which caused internal injuries and rendered her practically helpless. Since that time her health has gradually declined, assuming dangerous proportions of late weeks. She is one of the oldest residents of Allen county and loved by all who know her. It is thought that had she not suffered the fall she would have survived to celebrate her one hundredth birthday. Mrs. Crill will remain at Hoagland until the crisis is passed.

I PRESIDENT SHOWED HIS TEETH One of the Seminary Girls Lives at Marion, Ohio. Miss Ruth Fisher, daughter of one of the wealthiest families at Marion, Ohio, and a student at the National Park seminary, Forest Glen, Maryland, yesterday returned from school and told her complete version of the rebuke administered to a party of the school girls by President Roosevelt. She says that Roosevelt with . a regular San Juan charge, rode into i their midst while they were out for i a gallop near the school. His charger kicked one of the girls in the foot and nearly unseated her. Miss Margaret Kierstead of St. Louis was almost unseated when the president’s whip struck her horse. Drawing rein I some distance ahead the president ‘ awaited the party and called them ! down for not giving him the whole road. The president was later joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel the latter’s attitude being even worse f than her father's. Miss Fisher con-
