HAVING TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN The Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, a man thoroughly posted in Republican politics, iq a recent letter to his paper says this, among other things: “Undoubtedly there are many Republicans scattered from one end of the state to the other who feel that members of the Beveridge machine deliberately “double crossed” the state and legislative tickets last year for the purpose of killing off James E. Watson, James A. Hemenway and others of that wellknown branch of the party.” Prom this the correspondent concludes that R is going to be hard for the Republican factions to get together in the next state campaign. He concedes that unless they do get together they cannot win. It is evident that Mr. Beveridge' now wants the help of the Fairbanks-Hemenway-Watson faction because he wants to be re-elected to the senate. But then, so did Hemenway and Watson want to be elected. If the Beveridge machine “double-crossed’’ them last year they and their friends will hardly feel like coming to the aid of that same machine now. Altogether it looks as if the Republican party in Indiana is in for a long spell of sickness, due to internal disorder. Mr. Fairbanks is on a long trip around the world but his faithful lieutenants know what is expected of them in his absence. Decatur is no mean city, its growth and expansion has been of the sort that sticks to the ribs. Not a few of our people have prospered and left the sack for the great body of bus-

It is also the sort of progress I that counts, and will make Decatur i still better commercially as well as * every other way. It is the same old [ story of in unity there is strength. i Decatur business men are not only progressive, but they stand or fall together, and as long as this golden , rule is their guiding star they will ’ never retrograde, but on the other hand they will make progress, and ' the city will grow and prosper.

LAST SCHOOL DAY The Nine Month Term Closed this Afternoon With a Picnic for Young AT THE CENTRAL Promotion Cards and Reports Will Be Handed Out Next Wednesday Noon School is over. This was the last day of work and it was really not a work day. The examinations have closed and this afternoon the children in the first, second and third grades of the central building enjoyed a picnic on the lawn. It was a happy scene, over a hundred of the little [folks who have for months past toiled over the books and started on the way to an education that will make life easier for them in the years to come, spent the afternon in happy games and a picnic dinner. Next Wednesday ioon the report cards and promotion papers will be handed out, and then they are free, unless they have some study to make up.

WOMAN’S HORSE KILLS MAN Runaway at Fort Wayne Fatal and Occupant of Rig Collapses. Fort Wayne, Ind., May 20.—Miss Alice Wilson, sister of Maj. J. Will Wilson and very prominent socially, is tonight in a state of collapse following a runaway accident about noon today in which the horse which she wag driving ran into and killed David Miles, aged 81 years, a civil war veteran, who has been a resident of Fort Wayne since 1854. Miss Wilson is now under the care of a physician and fears for the outcome of her case are entertained. Miles was struck as he was attempting to cross the street in front of the runaway. Apparently he failed to hear the shouts of warning directed at him by bystanders and the shrieks of Miss Wilson. Miss Wilson escaped unhurt T o LIVED 152 YEARS. Wm. Parr—England's oldest man—married the third time at 120. worked in the fields till 132 and iived 20 years longer. People should be youthful at 80. James Wright, of Spurlock, Ky., shows how to remain young. "I feel just like a 16-year-o!d boy,’’ he writes, “after taking six bottles of Electric Bitters. For thirty years Kidney trouble made life a burden, ■ but the first bottle of this wonderful medicine convinced me I had found the greatest cure on earth.’’ They’re a godsend to weak, sickly rundown or old people.

MAY TAKE LECTURE PLATFORM Senator AldHch May Take to the Lecture Platform. Washington, May 21. —A chance has been offered Senator Aldrich, the Republican leader of the senate, to spend a profitable summer on the lecture platform. The prominence of the Rhode Island senator in the tariff discussions, and the fact that he was the target of attack by such idols of the Chautauqua circle as Senator Dolliver and LaFollette appealed to the Chautaqua managers. They asked him to join that group of statesmen who give plain talks about affairs in Washington to the “folks oat west” at 25 cents a head, reserved seats 50 cents. Mr. Aldrich has not replied to this urgent invitation, although an opportunity has been offered him to name his own terms, select his circuit and make any kind of addresses he desires.
