MR. HERNLY IS OUT Well Known Newcastle Booster Will Run as Independent Candidate FOR REPRESENTATIVE Another Deep, Dark Plot to Defeat Albert Beveridge For Senate. ..i ’ Newcastle, Ind., Sept. 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —What is alleged by Henry county friends of Senator Beveridge to be a plot on the part of prominent Indiana standpatters to defeat the senator has been disposed here and came about through the formal announcement of Charles S. Hernly as an independent candidate for state representative. Hernly’s name will go on the ticket by petition which has been started in circulation. It is asserted and practically admitted that Hernly’s candidacy is an effort on his part to secure the defeat of George W. Williams, the regular republican nominee and a pronounced Beveridge supporter. Williams was one of the original supporters of Mr. Beveridge when he made his first race for the senatorial honor. No denials have yet been made of the story that Hernly’s determination to enter as a candidate for the legislature was born when the recent booster meeting was held in this city. At that time a number of the standpat politicians, including Joe Kealing of Indianapolis, Col. W. T. Durbin of Anderson. James E. Watson of Rushville. Newt Harding of Indianapolis and others of the anti-Beveridge element, met here and held a conference with Hernly. The situation here is serious from a political standpoint and is made more critical by the entrance of Hernly into the legislative race. The democratic nominee, Harry Burris., a local manufacturer, is regarded as a strong candidate. The anti-Beveridge element believes that Hernly can take enough republican votes from Williams to secure the election of Burris, who will naturally vote for the democratic nominee. thus losing one sure vote for Beveridge. Hernly Is a familiar figure In Indiana politics. He was chairman of the republican state central committee during two campaigns. Recently he has been devoting his time to locating factories in various towns in the state as a professional factory promoter. AN INMATE DEAD George McDonald Died This Morning After a Short Illness With THE TYPHOID FEVER Parotid Abscess on Right Side of Face—Always Lived Here. George McDonald, an inmate of the county infirmary, passed away this morning at 6:40 o'clock after an illness of short duration. He had been sick only about a week with typhoid fever and what is known as a parotid abscess on the right side of his face and what Is supposed to have caused his death. For several days past his condition has been such that very little aid could be given him, owing to the latter illness, which caused him much uneasiness. For three years he was an inmate at the Easthaven asylum at Richmond and some time ago was returned to this city as being cured. Just last week his mother Mrs. Weatherford, and daughter, of Montpelier, were here to pay him a visit, which was the last visit of any of his relatives.. He was but forty-nine years of age and has been a resident of this city for a number of years, and later taken to the infirmary, where he has since resided. The funeral services will take place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the infirmary chapel, with Rev. ■ Spetnagel In charge. Interment will be made in the Infirmary cemetery.

The ticket sale opened Friday morning for the initial performance of the Hlmmeiein Imperial Stock company at the Bosse Opera house. The company is Manager Bosse’s atraction for fair week, and having appeared here for several successive seasons, needs no introduction.

IN POLICE COURT Albert Miller Charged With Intoxication—Will Fight the Case. IN MAYOR’S COURT The Cook Replevin Suit in Stone’s Court Has Been Compromised. Marshal Peterson Friday evening picked up a well-dressed and nice appearing young man named Albert Miller, who lives south of town. The young man was becoming boisterous and it is said that he carried a lifesized bottle of booze, which he was passing out freely. He was taken to jail and appeared before Mayor Teeple at 10 o’clock this morning for a hearing. He was represented by Attorney Shafer Peterson, who asked and was granted a continuance in the case until one week from today. Miller denies being intoxicated. The replevin suit of Daniel Cook vs. Mary Cook, to replevin some household goods and which was to have heard by ’Squire Stone, was dismissed this morning, A. P. Beatty writing the dismissal. The matter has been adjusted in some satisfactory manner. CHAMPION FISHER. J. H. Voglewede, ex-county treasurer, claims the championship for fishing in the St. Mary's river. While along the stream just south of the Bremerkamp mill Friday he sank his line, and in a short while noticed a bite, which caused his string to break and move down the river in somewhat of a hurry. He followed in a boat and kept tab on the fish by the cork which was on top of the water, and after cornering it near a log. siezed it with his hands. He drew Mr. Fish from the water and took it home, it weighting | just fourteen pounds, which is the largest catch made here for some time. HUNG ON AN AWNING ROPE. The boys are having some fun now : with a well known Decatur man who an evening or two ago was swinging on an awning rope in front of one of the down-town business places, and announced that he* would do a “foxy . grandpa” act. He grabbed the rope and placed it around his neck, resulting in his hanging himself. He was released by some one who saw him, but not until he had been choked to a 1 frazzle. He’s a good fellow and as he don’t consider the joke a very funny ■ one we have agreed not to say any--1 thing further about it. o PICTURE OF RACKET STORE. ■ The September issue of the Five and ' Ten Cent magazine, a well known i trade paper, is of unusual interest to Decatur folks, inasmuch as it coni tains a handsome likeness of the in- ■ terior of the Steele & Weaver racket I store of this city. A short time ago ‘ the journal contained an exterior view. > Both cuts are excellent likenesses. • o I NEXT WEEK A BUSY ONE. 1 > Next week promises to be a busy one. There is the opening of the pube lie schools, the St. Joseph's Catholic k schools, court, the county commissionL ers' court, the meeting of the county II council, the fair, and Labor Day, Monday, with its attending festivities.

INSTITUTE ECHOES Friday the Closing Day Not the Least Profitable One. PASS RESOLUTIONS Thanking Professor Opliger and the Instructors For Labors. > Friday Morning. Institute opened by singing the hymn, “Lead Kindly Light." Devotional exercises were lead by Rev. L. C. Hessert. The Scripture lesson was taken from the sixth chapter of Isaiah and the twenty-third Psalm. Song. "Star Spangled Banner.” “The American Educational Renaissance,” by Professor Hoyt. Professor Hoyt opened the lecture by relating a beautiful story, written by Henry VanDyke. The story of Arteban searching for the Christ. But while searching, gives up his possessions for the benefit of others. We have before us the American flag, throwing out all the beautiful colors of the ruby, sapphire and white pearl. It is our business to hold up the American flag as the ideal before the foreigners that have come to this country that they might become American citizens. The only way to make these foreigners’ children good citizens is to teach them, loyalty, bravery, sincerity. I will also take up the life of Horace Mann, who, up to the time he was sixteen years of age had received but six months’ schooling, but he determined to have an education. and he secured It So I hope that every person who expects to teach school will not be satisfied without an education. It is not so much the degree, but the scholarship we want. If you do not carry anything else home with you, I want you to take this one sentence, which I found inscribed on a plain shafe erected on a mound at the Antioch college. The words are those of Horace Mann: “Be ashamed to die until you have accomplished something.” A few years ago people from this country would go to Germany and other foreign countries to study—to finish their education. But I am glad to say the tide is now changing and Germans, French and others come to America to study. I want you to go into your schools and hold a picture before your pupils, teaching them not only arithmetic, but teach them loyalty, bravery and courage. Give us men. Music, Professor Miessner. Some time was taken up in breathing exercises, and the rest of the time spent in singing. ‘ Illustrative Grammar Lesson.” by Professor Neet. 1 think that there are times in a child's life when they think the world is in a league against them. Now this of course is in opposition to us teachers. Let love be without dis- | simulation. lam going to change my talk to that of fatigue. Fatigue is caused by a wasting degree of the nerve cells. Another reason is that in the wasting degree of the nerve cells there is a certain amount of waste matter to be given off. which gets into the blood; and the blood loses Its vitality. Local exercise wil cause general fatigue. Physical exercise causes mental fatigue and mental exercise causes physical fatigue. Have you ever noticed some of your pupils go to sleep over their books? Quite frequently this is caused by the child doing too much work before he comes to school. The cells being torn down, he is fatigued, and as sleep is the natural law for rest, he sleeps. It has been worked out that every Individual needs about seven hours sleep. The reason why less will not do is that it takes at least two and one-half hours for the nerves to readjust themselves and then will come the real sleep. Friday Afternoon. Song, “Auld Syne." “The Teacher,” Professor Neet. This being my last talk with you this week, I wish to say that I have been well ' pleased to be with you. From the . standpoint of success, the teacher is the most important element of the school. It is sometimes said, that is a teacher is. so is the school. Education is development; development Is y growth. We can not learn the child. >• He must do that himself. And so the c main thing for us to do is to suri- round the child with environment that y will direct him in such away that it i- will become a fine man or woman. A (Continue non page 4.)
