Netterville of Anderson was nominated by the democrats for joint senator for the counties of Henry and Madison. Mr. Netterville is a broadminded, public-spirited citizen and in the Indiana state senate he will prove a leader and legislator worthy of the name. The democrats of Delaware county meet on next Wednesday to nominate their county ticket, and judging by the noise being made there now by the many democrats who want a place on the ticket, one would think there was a lead-pipe cinch lying around loose. There will be even stranger things happen in this campaign than the success of the democratic county ticket in Delaware county. .. .1 . -it It is charged that Senator Beveridge on the day of the republican state convention, sent a telegram to a friend in Washington saying that he bad “kicked the stomach off of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.” And now the Hon. Jim Watson, backed up by the Taft administration, is going to try to kick it back on again by making two speeches a day for a whole month in the Indiana campaign. With Beveridge kicking it off and Watson kicking it on that stomach is bound to suffer some damage—to say nothing about what the democrats will do to it. The standpatters have at last decreed that self-respect and self-preser-vation can only be sustained by a square-toed fight for those principles and those policies for which they’ have contended for all these years. They are going before the country on their record, and they are going to fight it out on that line. Knowing their proclivities for fighting in the past, the life of an insurgent will be cne long dreary waste, and it will even pay the democrats to sit up and take notice. But this is the right and the manly thing to do. They are either right or they are wrong, and if wrong they are even consistent in standing by the doctrines of the past. We think that Governor Marshall completely illustrated insurgency when he said that he did not think much of a man that would live with

Os the several social events planned by the various divisions of the Aid society of the German Retormed church that given last evening by the Dorcas Daughters will go down on the record of memory as one of the most unique and enjoyable. The ladies had chartered an interurban car and this left the station at 7:30, filled to the steps with a joyous happy crowd for Monmouth. There they were met by the drum corps of Root township—D. M. Rice and John Singleton, with drums, and John Christen, with fife, and a long line of march was formed, leading to the school house on the north side. The school house was ablaze with light, numerous Japanese lanterns strung within, twinkling a merry greeting to all. The lower room of the school was divided into booths, presided over by the various members of the division. At one side was a fishing pond, where all sorts of vases, picture frames, statuettes and other fancy articles materialized the promise of “the bite;” at other booths were sold chewing gum. candy, cigars, popcorn. peanuts, ice cream, cake, pop, and all refreshments of the sort, and the school room gave the appearance of a small fair or carnival. The upper room was devoted to “The trip around the world.” This was an interesting feature —and one that will be long remembered by the many who were initiated into the mysteries of this room into which they entered blind-folded, but emerged with “eyes that saw.” Many outdoor games were indulged in and the event was one of the jolliest the little town has seen for several weeks, and the car that returned to town at 10 o’clock bore back a pleased company. • Mr and Mrs. Robert Bieberich. west, of Preble, entertained a number of friends in honor of Mr. Bieberich’s thirty-first birthday anniversary.

DEATH FOLLOWED a Mr. and Mrs. Sol Linn Who Returned From Ohio, Found Message Here. OF RELATIVE’S DEATH Had Died Short Time After They Had Left—Samuel Leiser of Fremont.

Ex-County Commissioner William Miller left this noon for Fremont. Qhio, where he was called by the death of his brother-in-law, Samuel Leiser, whose death occurred there Tuesday morning after an illness of several months from cancer. Three weeks ago today Mr. and Mrs. Sol Linn went to Oak Harbor, Ohio, to attend the funeral of a sister-in-law, Mrs. Samuel Miller, and from there had gone to Fremont to visit with the Leisers. They had just returned home Tuesday and on their arrival here a message, announcing that Mr Letser had died just about a half hour after they had left, was awaiting them. This is the third death within this year among the relatives in Ohio, as it was only last February that Samuel Miller, a brother of William Miller and Mrs. Sol Linn, was called to his reward, followed by tue wife's death, three weeks ago, and now by the death of Mr. Leiser, whose wife is a sister of Mr. Miller and Mrs. Linn. Mr. Leiser was sixty some years of age and was born in Pennsylvania, where lie and the Miller family were reared together, making the combined strength resulting from years of association as well as from relationship.

An operation was attempted, but the first cut of the knife revealed an incurable state, and it was not gone through with.
