Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Because of the Inadequacy from the Beveridge viewpoint, of the platform adopted by the republicans of the Eighth district, the Indianapolis Star, chief Beveridge organ, takes the fol-■ lowing sarcastic swat at ex-Governor | Durbin. stanapater and regular): I “Led by the practical common sense and political foresight of ex-Governor ■ Durbin, the Eighth district forebore either to credit Senator Beveridge with completion of the Federal Union or to ask his re-election on the ground I that he voted wrong on the Payne tariff bill. It speaks of him in language borrowed from his own state platform and doubtless goes as far in its profession of interest in his success as the resolutions committee could go without becoming liable for perjury." i The above is chiefly important as exhibiting a new phase of the irreconcilable conflict. “I will make the corporations come to time," shouted Mr. Roosevelt, at Toledo. This reminds'the New .York World of how he made a few of the big corporations and plutocratic interests come to time in the 1904 campaign. when he was a candidate to succeed bimself as president of the

United States. For Instance, be made i the Equitable Life conic to time with i a $50,000 campaign contribution. He made the beef trust come to time with a big campaign contribution. He made the Standard Oil come to time with another big campaign contribution. He made E. H. Harriman, after a personal conference at the white house, come to time with $260,000. - All of which proves that Mr. Roosevelt is a four-flusher of the first magnitude. The republican campaign text-book prepared and issued by the congressional committee, is, says a Washington dispatch, “bound to add to the merriment, if not the complications, of the season in politics. It bears the earmarks of standpat influence in the making, gives prominence to Cannonites in congress, and by ignoring progressives in presenting speeches for | public consumption preliminary to the fall battle is likely to put President Taft to harder personal efforts than ' he already has made to bring about harmony and keep all the fat from ‘ falling into the fire.” The insurgents are ignored. The book contains standpat literature without end but none of : the insurgent kind. So, therefore, the irregular orators must perforce hunt i up and arrange their own dope. The Ohio platform, which is supposed to .' be a "model," is included in the book, i but the Indiana insurgent pdatform is , not used. Nor is that stupendous “Powers of Pillage” speeth by the , Hon. Albert Beveridge even referred . to. • WOOD-WORK BLACKSMITHING. We wish to announce that we are j prepared to do all kinds of blacksmithing and woodwork. Carriage work a ■ specialty.

SOCIETY DOINGS Christian Aid Society Will Meet at Church Friday 4 Afternoon. THE PHI DELTA DANCE At Maple Grove Park Largely Attended Last Evening—Social Notes. Autumn Days. Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating: O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating; Winking at the blushing'trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow; Smiling at the airy ease Os southward —flying swallow. Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden Autumn days. — Will Carleton. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Shakespeare Club —Mrs. Trout. Friday. Christian Aid —Church. The party given last evening by Miss Bernice Andrews at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dr. Burt Mangold, was a merry one of the week, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

RAIN CHECKS CROWD (Continued from page 1.) years, though still as young looking as ever, show tne little ones the delight of the infants of long-ago years. Business Men’s Displays. Passing on, we enter into the realm of the business men, the booths being all taken with the exception of one. The first *s that of John Spuller, agent for the DeLaval cream separator. Mr. Spuller is on hand wltn the machines which he demonstrates in a convincing manner. Next is the Peoples & Gerke shoe display. The booths are decorated with yellow and gold bunting in beautiful colors and the displays are artistic in the real sense of the word. In the middle of the drapery in this shoe booth is suspended a shoe ad clock, while behind, like long pendulums, hang the lines of shoes and footwear. The Vance, Hite & Macklin display is an atractive one, the booth being arranged like a room At one side is a trunk and around it, as thougn ready to fit out a gentleman for a long journey, is every kind of clothing he would need for the trip—all in the latest patterns. One long room of the section is fitted up by Gay, Zwick & Meyers into a luxurious room. Large davenports and easy chairs invite the tired, while the piano player manipulated by Mr. Zwick, and the real piano played by Mr. Elgin King, send forth delightful strains of music. Mirrors and screens add to the attractiveness of the room, and the china closet with the display of Mrs. Sholty’s plates, mentioned before, add n uch to the beauty. Schaub, Gottemoller & Co. are right on hand with their display of sewing machines, ranges, base burners. blankets, etc., for the coming cold weather, while without is a display of implements, gasoline engines, etc. Fred Schurger and Fred Schaub presided over the displays Wednesday.

Holt house, Schulte & Company have a most complete and attractive display of men's and boy’s clothing, a fair index of that carried in their complete store, while nearby is that also of Myers-Dailey Company. They advertise the Imperial clothing, and their decorations carry out the Imperial idea. The frame is a white enamel lattice, ornamented with large yellow chrysanthemums, the Japan national Rower, while suspended in the middle in the front is a large Japanese umbrella, and within their fine men’s and boys’ clothing displays. The dry goods store are equally well represented. Niblick & Company have a booth hung with fine lace curtains, forming an avenue leading to the cloak model in the background, with a fine long rug and many small ones covering the floor, while a vacuum cleaner and many sweepers in the foreground, tell the story of how to clean them. True & Runyon and the Boston store booths are equally attractive, each in its distinctive style, displaying draperies, dress goods, cloaks, rugs, suits and many novelties.

The Chi-namel boot of the Holt' house drug company is a novelty, with its Chinese emblems, flags, and pictures, string here and there, and the samples of the beautiful graining and decorating done with this finish. Smith, Yager & Falk, druggists, corner, fitted up in a novel way with bottles, and boxes of tonics, powders, and drugs, and two lamps, trimmed and burling, demonstrates the kinds of lamp burners you should and should not use. A little farther on, the tones of pianos call your attention to Yager Brothers & Reinking. Albert Numbers, an expert player, is in charge of these instruments, while other members of the firm are in charge of the general display, which consists of tables, chX-s and fine furniture carried by them. The Singer sewing machine company demonstrates its general sewing as well as darning and fancy “cut work,” tho latter useful in artistic doily and centerpiece work. Mr. S. S. Norris and Miss Loretta Harkenrider of Fort Wayne are in charge of this. Klopt'enstine & Wefel of Preble are on hands with their Abner Acetylene generator, with samples of the lights to show its practical use. A room as though taken out of a fine mansion is that fitted up by Meyer & Sherer, with its bed, mattress, dresser, tables, chairs, etc., while nearby is the clothing display of Teple, Brandyberry <£ Peterson, showing the latest dresswear for gentlemen. The Schaffer Hardware tfnd Saddlery compahy are there too with the goods, as the ranges, base burners, blankets and harness show. The J. H. Voglewede & Son shoe and boot display is one of the leading attractions, and artistic. While Laman & Lee have a booth in the art hall, they also have their own building. In one corner are the stoves in charge of Mr. Lee; in another the machinery demonstrated by Martin Mil(Continued on page 4.)
