DEFENDS THE STANDPATTERS In his speech last week defending with all his might the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff, President Taft scored the "insurgent’’ Republican senators (including Senator Beveridge) who voted against the bill. Mr. Taft said: "In matters of this kind it is a question with the party representative whether he shall help maintain the ■ party solidarity for accomplishing its 1 chief purpose or whether the department from principle in the bill, as he regarded it. is so/fxtreme that he must in conscience abandon the party." I After saying this, however, he de-1 dared he was "glad to see that those' (Beveridge and others) who voted against the bill still insist that they Pre Republicans. The week before ; Mr. Taft made these remarkable state- i ments one of the Indiana Republican newspapers asserted that there was no inconsistency in the action of Beveridge voting against the bill and of Taft in approving and signing it, and that if their positions had been reversed each woifid have done what the other did. If that is so, Mr. Beveridge would now be declaring that Mr. Taft "abandoned the party,” although he would try to let him down easy by; giving him credit for "insisting" that' he is "still a Republican." All in ail it is a pretty nasty fight that the Republican party has on its hands. It will probably not be necessary for

President Taft to make a tariff speech at Danville. —Chicago Record-Herald. Ex-Senator Hemenway, in an interview at Washington, said that "there is not a schedule in the (tariff) bill which the Republicans will not be able to defend. He also said that President Taft s western trip paid for out of the public treasury) "is going to add much to strengthen the Republican party.” All of this is a left-handed way of making it interesting for one Albert J. Beveridge. It will be remembered that Beveridge denounced and voted against the bill, whi’e Taft signed it and is now not only trying to defend it, but to read Beveridge and other insurgents out of the party. These Republicans are getting worse mixed up all the time.

MADE THE DRIVE Daniels the Magician Found the Cigar Hidden by a Committee of Men INCLUDING OFFICIALS Performs at the Crystal Theater—Many People Witnessed the Drive

paniels, the magician, made his famous drive at about 4:30 last evening, attracting quite a little attention, the main streets being well filled with people anxious to watch him. At four o’clock Mayor France, Marshal Butler, Henry Thomas and Attorney A. P. Beatty left the Crystal theater in a cab drawn by two beautiful greys, they drove to Madison street, where they turned and after circling around considerably they drove to the Center ice cream factory, where they hid a White Stag cigar in an empty ice cream can. Th«r then drove back to the theater, where they were met by Daniels. The pjofessor was blindfolded and assisted to the driver’s seat, where he grasped the lines and proceeded over the same route the committe had taken. Arriving at the factory he had one of the men grasp him by the arm while the others clasped hands and he led them to the interior room of the factory asked for a stool and reaching into the can, brought forth the cigar, saying as he did so, "Gentlemen, here is a White Stag, the best cigar made on earth." He performed at the Crystal last evening and will give another exhibition this evening. Mr. Biggs also offers three good reels and another special act by Max and the Cowboy Girl. It’s all for five cents. o ■ - ■ ANNOUNCEMENTS We are authorized to announce the name of Henry Lankenau as a candidate for Mayor of the city of Decatur, subject to the decision of the Democratic city primary election, to be held Tuesday, October 5, 1909.

“SAUL OF TARSUS" One of the most dramatic figures in all history is that of Saul of Tarsus, later and better known as St. Paul. The salient features of this man's lite have been woven into a dream in four acts by Henry Thorn Hum, and this play will be presented at the Bosse opera house Wednesday, Sept. 29, by Eugene Moore and a selected company of players. The piece deals with the great events in the life of this tremendous character and is replete with dramtic situations and with beautiful scenes. The scenic investiture is remarkably fine, with costuming historically correct and with electrical effects of unusual beauty. The piece has received the highest praise, both from the press and the pulpit, and is held to be one of the most remarkable biblical plays ever penned.

RODE IN HEARSE Young Man on Spree Asked to Be Hauled Home in Such a Carriage WAS ACCOMMODATED The Ride Caused Some Excitement and a Large Amount of Amusement A well known young man of •this city had an exciting experience during a spree yesterday and one that he will probably recall with horror when sober. He had been on a drunk for several days and yesterday afternoon staggered into a livery barn and asked to be taken home. The boys began joking him, and asked waht kind of a rig he would prefer to ride in. Promptly he replied "Take me home in the hearse." This gave the boys an inspiration and the young man was grabbed and pitched into a big glass hearse, a team was soon attached and the wagon usually used for man's last ride was enroute to the man’s home. He objected slightly, but seemed to enjoy the unusual distinction and was conveyed to his residence in the north part of town. The scene attracted quite a little attention and much talk, and here is one fellow who has beaten the undertaker out of a ride.

Meyers who operates a saw mill about three quarters of a mile north of the city met with an accident yesterday at about eleven otclock which might have proved more serious, and as it is he is thanking himself that it was not as such. Mr. Myers was engaged in sawing a plank and was standing on the front end of the carriage when the plank on the rear end became fastened and swinging around caused him to be pinched as he was unable to stop the moving carriage. His right leg was badly bruised, and he received several other scratches which will cause him to be laid up for several days at least. He was taken to his home on north Third street, where medical attention was given. This morning his leg was greatly swollen and stiff and he will be forced to keep it quiet for some time.
