The candidates on the republican state ticket finding that the organization in this state is intending to devote itself exclusively to saving the hide of Senator Beveridge, is raising a lively howl. They now propose an organization of their own. Thus the organization in this state, like the party in Washington, is split into two hostile camps, each clawing at the throat of the other. This is the harmony of which the republican press boasts. The Daily Times of New Castle has just issued a handsome illustrated edition showing the progress and growth of the Rose City. In the MaxwellBriscoe automobile factory fifteen hundred employees are helping to make that city the best ever. Other manufacturing institutions are doing their part and in all New Castle has shown more real growth and prosperity than any other Indiana city. The illustrated edition is a compliment to the ability of that newspaper to do things, and do them well. Mr. Webster M. Samuels began at the bottom in the Trenton Iron works at Trenton, N. J., one of Andrew Carnegie’s foundries, when he was tw-enty years old. By desperate application and workirig day and night, he arose in six years to the secretaryship of the concern and was aiming for a still higher position. For more years he redoubled his efforts, and when his ambition seemed within his grasp overtaxed nature collapsed and he suffered a complete nervous breakdown. Although his physicians told him that ■with three years’ complete rest he might recover, in a fit of despondency he committed suicide a few days ago. “What shall ’it profit a man to gain

the whole world and lose his own lite?"—South Bend Times. Thomas Everett, a leading republican of Scottsburg, cards the Scott County Journal as follows: "X want it distinctly understood that I am a republican—an Abe Lincoln. William McKinley, Roosevelt republican. but not a Beveridge republican, a man who has no regard for promises or who has never done any thing for the party, but for ten years has given the boys in the trenches hot air and salve, and when I assist in defeating him for the senate, I will have performed a great service for the party." This sentiment is held by many leading republicans all over the state and the truth is they are justified in it. The New York Globe (republican), alluding to the fact that the "regular" and "insurgent" republicans are calling each other "black-flaggers,” and even worse things, then says: “The cleavage among nominal republicans is like unto that which existed among nominal democrats during the last Cleveland administration. The republican outlook is dark. If things go on as they are going the session is likely to end in fiasco.” The same paper adds that “there are three parties in congress—not two." This means that there are two so-called republican parties, the making the third. When Napoleon succeeded In splitting the army of the enemy—and he usually did —he found it easy to whip the fragments in detail And when the enemy’s army has split itself into two hostile and fighting camps, it is hardly worth while to do more than watch them destroy each other. REV. POULTSON AT BAPTIST. Rev. Poultson of Bluffton will conduct the reguar Sunday services at (the Baptist church here tomorrow morning and evening. The local congregation has received a message from their new pastor, the Rev. Chas. Ehle of Branson, Mich., that he and his family are packing their goods this week, preparatory to coming to this city to make their home and expect to be here by May 31st. NOTICE TO K. OF C. MEMBERS.

SOCIETY DOINGS High School Sophomores » Spend Evening With Gregg Neptune. AN EVENING PARTY Given by Bertha Hiltpold and George Nachtrieb— Mention of Clubs. < ' \ Comets importing change of time and state, Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky And with them scourge the bad revolting stars. —Shakespeare. Thirty friends of George Nachtrieb and Miss Bertha Hiltpold attended the party given by them as a leave taking last evening at the Nachtrieb home before going In a short time to their new Michigan home. One of the novel pleasures of the evening was an auction of little fans, vases and other pretty bric-a-brac, which the family would find inconvenient to take with them on so loitg a trip Each guest was given a bag of beans, which they used in lieu of money, and with Mrs. Nachtrieb as auctioneer, a season filled to the utmost with fun prevailed, as each side vied with the other in bidding for the object tnat most appealed to, his desire. Other games and dancing, with music by Miss Agnes Kobne, filled the interim. Partners for luncheon were found in an unique way by finding the appropriate answers to questions given to each on cards. For instance one who had Ahe card with the question, "What kills bugs?” searched until the appropriate answer, ’ Paris Green,” was found, and others proved equally as interesting. Refreshments consisted of ice cream, 'cake and candies and were temptingly served. ■ —«—» A maze of crepe paper streamers in maroon and old gold artistically woven and draped throughout the rooms formed a pretty setting for the entertainment accorded the members of the sophomore class Friday evening by Gregg Neptune at the Neptune home, corner Third and Jefferson streets. A “yes” and “no” game broke the ice usually attending the opening of any social gathering and soon all were mingling freely and happily in the game, asking questions, care being taken that none could be answered by “yes” and “no” else it would mean a forfeiture of one of the fifteen pretty red hearts given to each for the game. After this came a general good time, all the more enjoyed because of informality, followed by dancing, for which music was furnished by Mrs. Neptune and Miss Vera Hower. A luncheon w'as served at little tables, which carried out in its decorations the class colors of maroon and gold, as did the luncheon which was nicely served in two courses. Besides the members of the class Clio Johnson of Lynn and the Misses Vera, Hower and Eda Butler were guests.
