"The Dingley and Payne tariff bills have forced another sort of exportation which grieves every lover of our country, and that is the exportation of good American citizens to the British northwest. Last year 86,000 Americans, chiefly from the Mississippi valley, expatriated themselves, largely because they could purchase all prodducts, including American farm implements and other articles manufactured in America, more cheaply in the British possessions than they can purchase them at home.”—From a speech by Champ Clark. u i ... B? It is said that the republican state organization which Mr. Beveridge was allowed to create for his own purposes will make no further effort to induce Watson, Hemenway and other reguar republicans to join in the campaign. The “old guard” has refused to take any interest In the sort of campaign that Mr. Beveridge has planned. They declare that it is entirely selfish—for Beveridge only—a feeling that the candidates on the republican state ticket share. A wellinformed republican correspondent says that the fact that there is “a split in the republican party along the lines on which it has been divided for several years” is admitted privately by the men now in control of. the state organization. From the same source it is learned that “Watson has a very large personal following that

is bitter over his defeat for governor two years ago. Many of them attribute his failure to disloyalty on the part of Senator Beveridge and his contingent. and it is the belief generally that they will knife the ticket.” From all of which it is apparent that repubican "domestic troubles” are leading to a divorce of the two factions, not only from bed and board, but a vinculo matrlmonl. THE X- SHAMROCKS Decatur Has a Base Ball Aggregation That is Going After Honors. NEW UNIFORMS HERE Will Play at LaGrange Sunday and Expect to Make a Good Showing. The Shamrock base ball team, newly organized in Decatur, Is preparing for a busy season and expect to put up some classy exhibition during the season. Thursday, assisted by Frank McConnell of the Model, they secured subscriptions from the business men of Decatur which will enable them to secure new uniforms. They will go to LaGrange for a game next Sunday and have a number of other dates. They will blossom forth there in the new suits, which have just arrived. The Sunday game will be a stiff one. as LaGrange has a semi-professional team, with a pitcher from the Central league, but the Shamrocks expect to put up an exhibition that will enable them to get dates any place in the north part of the state. The line-up for Sunday is: Stevens. 2b: McMillen, 3b; Smith, lb; B. France, If; Robinson, pitcher; Buffenbarger, pitcher; Engle, cf; Ault, c; Johns. If; Devoss. ss; Beery, sub. The club desires at this time to thank all who assisted them in securing the new uniforms and promise to give some interesting exhibitions here before the summer is over.

SOCIETY DOINGS Friends of Mrs. Henry Gerkc Arranged Surprise Last Evening. MRS. SNITZ HOSTESS Pocahontas Received Two New Members—Mrs. Archbold Entertains. TO A COMET. Stranger of heaven, I bid thee hall! Shred from the pall of glory riven That tlashest in celestial gale— Broad pennon of the King of Heaven. Whato’er portends thy front of fire And streaming locks so lovely pale; Or peace to man, or judgments dire. Stranger of Heaven, I bid thee hail! —Hogg. Friday. Art Exhibit—Central School. Commencement —Opera House. M. E. Mite Society—Church Parlors. The second day of the art exhibit of the city schools was even a greater one than yesterday and great numbers thronged the ground floor of the Central building, viewing the pretty and clever sketches of the pupils of all the grades —some done in water color, some in pen and ink, some in charcoal —showing much talent and skill. The display is much better and larger this year than ever, due no doubt to the greater practice and training as this study is practically a new one to the Decatur pupils—and even the oldest ones have had but three or four years' experience. The result is well to the patrons who delight in having the children acquire, along with more prosy and ordinaryeducational branches, a development of the love for the beautiful.

MANY ARE HAPPY School Children Get the Precious Missives That Tell Them Whether THEY ARE PROMOTED School Closes For Summer Vacation — Youngsters Anticipate Good Time. Donning their best attire and wearing withal a smiling, though in some cases, a rather apprehensive looking face, the school children trudged to school this afternoon to get their reports .eager to see whether they would bear the magical words entitling them to admission next year to a higher grade. Os course many knew beforehand just what they would reap, having heard the old proverb that one reaps what he sows but still there is always the shadow ot a daubt —and those who get through by the “skin of their teith” are no doubt just as happy as those who have plodded patiently and steadily or burned the "midnight gas." Today closed the long term of nine months of school and everybody is eagerly anticipating the delights of the summer vacation. o William Bosse was a business caller at Fort Wayne last evening.
