Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Now the story goes that President Taft is in receipt of a letter from one Theodoroe Roosevelt, and while its contents was not made public, yet the president is reported to have smiled a happy smile. It is a cinch that if Mr. Taft smiled that the Insurgents will have no smile coming. “I do not know what to think of the Indiana situation. I believe, though, that insurgency is on the wane.” —Ex-Governor Durbin. There has been so much of that sort of thing said by members of the "old guard” that it must be getting on the nerves of the men now- in charge of the republican campaign. The partisan republican press has been printing the Si< ry that the friends of Senator Shively were sore ."UuJZ Jlhe core on Kern, and before the ink had^m^? 0 dry h, re Comes Sc,la ’ tor Proctor, peK hal>s tlle ® OSt intf ’ , . . , o A’v Shively in his mate friend of aenato.,., home district, and a hold-t-' r hla,e senator at that, and pledges to Kern. How’s that for handing it back at these disturbers of the peace. The fact is, there is no trouble in the democratic camp, and what is more, there is no chance for any. i j The Cincinnati Enquirer has taken a test vote in Ohio similar to the one recently taken in Indiana. It shows that the Taft administration and the Payne-Aldrich tariff law are immense-

ly unpopular. It further shows that the republican party is blamed for the increased cost of living. By a vote which stands about two to one It also declared that the political trend favors the democratic party. Doubtless a similar poll taken in other states would produce the same general results as those taken in Indiana and Ohio. The Indiana republicans have been put In a most humiliating position. After a somewhat sensational appearance of boldness In their state convention, the insurgent leaders in this state have since gone down on their knees to Mr. Taft, as the head of the "regulars,” and begged him not to interfere with their game. Both Senator Beveridge and his state chairman have, according to Washington reports, gone to the white house with representations that It would not do to have cross-firing by the two factions. What promises they made or offered to make in return for Mr. Taft’s aid has not transpired. But the mere fact that Beveridge and his organization, so defiant in their state convention, should now be slipping in at the backdoor of the headquarters of the “regulars” and begging for favors, is sufficient to discredit their whole campaign. It is not only humiliating those republicans who stand for genuine reform, but it proves to the people of Indiana as a whole that those persons now in charge of the republican machine are trying to trick the public, by false pretense, Into giving support to the Beveridge program.

LOUISA FRUCHTE. was born October 3, 1849, in Preble township, Adams county, Ind. She was born the daughter of Christian and Catherine Schery, who were among the early settlers of Adams county. As a little child she was presented to the Lord in the sacrament of holy baptism, and as sne grew up was instructed and confirmed in the blessed faith of our Lord Christ Jesus. She has always manifested a great interest in church work and was active in behalf of our church unto the last. On January 8, 1874, she was married to Louis Fruchte. with whom she shared labor and rest, joy and sorrow until her sudden disease. Their happy and peaceful union was blessed with three children, two daughters and one son. About eight years ago the family moved from their farm near Magley to Decatur, where they have resided since. For a number of years she has suffered from heart and kidney trouble, so that she often thought of her death, and we trust applied her heart unto the fear of God and faith in the Redeemer. In conversation with friends she occasionally spoke of her ailments and seemed to anticipate a sudden death. Last Friday evening while heartily eating her supper the death angel suddenly came upon her. At about 6 o’clock in the evening, June 17th. 1910, she passed away, having attained to an age of 60 years, 8 months and ’4 days. Deeply stricken by her sudden departure are her husband, her two daughters and one son. two sisters, two brothers, and many other near relatives and friends. After the night of darkness, ' The shadows all flee away; After the day of sadness, Hope shreds her brightest ray. After the strife and struggle The victory is won; After the work is over, * The Master’s word, "Well Done.” \ After the pqin and sickness, ' The tears are all wipod away; After the flowers are gather'd, No more of earth's decay. After the deep heart sorrows, Un end of every strife; Afjer the daily crosses, Aglorious crown of life. FOR SAk E ~ ODe cooll,n 8 range, in good conH? tion: alß ° Bideboard - B°<> d as new.
