The Indiana Democrats are as enthusiastic tor Governor Marshall for president as are the Ohio Democrats for Governor Harmon for president. Ohio generally wins, however. —Belle, fontaitie (O.) Examiner. Not only the Democrats of Ohio, but all the rest of the country can win by pinning their faith to Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana. JLIL-IILIZUHLU.. Insurgent Senator Cummins, of . lowa,, voted against the Aldrich-Can-non-Payne tariff bill. Brother Cum- ( mins, because of that act, is one of , the men that Mr. Taft has read out of ] the Republican party. But Brother 1 Cummins is not a-goin'—not if he can 1 help himself. He declares that an is. sue has been raised, and adds: ( "We shall present the issue flatly < to every Republican convention be- I tween the present and the national 1 convention of 1912, where it is post sible for the issue to be presented. 5 That iesue is: Shall the men now in control of the party destinies be permitted to further disregard party dec- 1 larations?” * Naturally the question comes up as to whether Insurgent Beveridge will j present that issue “flatly" or other- I wise to the next state convention ot the Indiana Republicans. Will the Indiana Republicans stand by Sever- ( idge or Taft? Mr. Beveridge makes j out the orders for pie but it is Mr. | Taft who fills them. And he is not I bound to fill them unless he wants to ' / i do so. What, therefore, will the Re. ( publicans of this state do when they , meet to “point with pride" and to [ “denounce.” and incidentally to select! a state ticket? j 1 1 i SPECIAL NOTICE , |< The regular meeting of the Ladies .

■yXT'E want to tell you ’ ’ a little about the idea back of Bischof models. The makers of Bischof models get the Paris and Berlin styles but they don’t stop there. They believe there is a higher standard than pure style —that is style and service combined. What’s fashionable in Paris is studied and the ideas carried out, the effect reproduced but in serviceable, practical suits —the kind American life of today demands. The taste expressed, the discrimination used in selecting only what is suitable has made Bischof models nationally popular. It is a significant fact that the leading Fashion Journal after a close study of the taste of American women, sketched a Bischof model for their Fall Fashion Number. Come in and see the

RAID POKER ROOM Police Made a Haul Early Sunday Morning—Proprietor Pinched AND PAID HIS FINE Boys Who Were Indulging May Do Likewise to Avoid an Indictment • The police raided a poker room on Monroe street about one o'clock Sun. day morning, and found six or seven men seated about the green cloth, enjoying the excitement that goes , with a friendly game. The raid seems to have been carefully planned, for it 1 was pulled off without a slip and they had the men before they knew what had happened. The officers, Marshal Butler, Constable Frank Smith and Nightmen Fisher and Geary- did the work, two of them entering the back stairway and two the front. Just as they met at the top of the stairs the door opened and a young man who had evidently cashed in or gone broke opened the door and sauntered out. As he did the police announced their presence and pandemonia reigned. The men made an effort to evaporate' but it wouldn’t work, though one of the victims even threatened to take his own life. After taking the names the officers allowed the men to go home. This morning an affidavit was filed against John Diller who was conducting the game. He appeared before Squire Smith and plead guilty and was fined ten dollars and costs, amounting to $18.05. He staid the docket. It is probable that the other men will do likewise to avoid any action by the grand jury now’ in session. The officers made a thorough search of the room, but there was no evidence that a blind tiger was being conducted and it is said that there was nothing to drink about the place. BROKE INTO SHOP Burglars Effected an Entrance into the Al Burdg Barber Shop ON MONROE STREET Stole a Wooden Box, but Missed a Tin Box Containing Ninety Dollars Burglars effected an entrance into the Al Burdg barber shop dn Monroe street Sunday night, but failed to find anything of value, though it was a mighty fortunate affair at that for Mr. Burdg, for they failed to discover a tin box which contained ninety dol. lars. The only thing missing is a wooden box which contained a number of checks, used by Mr. Burdg where a man buys a number of shaves and pays in advance. The thieves gained entrance through the back door, which was fastened with a hook and which came open when given a hard jerk. This fact and the fact that it is believed that some one did the work who knew that Mr. Burdg had money about the shop leads to the belief that the robbery was committed by home talent and the police officers are making an effort to locate the parties. It is likely that the Work I was done by the same parties who robbed the Fair store a few nights ago.
