Sintered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mai’ The Indianapolis Star is flopping. After months of tirade against the president, boosting Roosevelt and otherwise demoralizing the party, that paper today leads off with an editoilal entitled, "Wherein has Taft failed?" A glance at the files in that office should answer the question, if they were ever in earnest. Both the Roosevelt and Taft forces are claiming the Indiana delegation to the national convention and the fight to make the statement come true is growing warmer each day. It has already reached that stage where a dark horse is being mentioned and Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana is receiving some mention That he would fill the bill is not doubted by bis many Hoosier friends. - The general fund in the state treas- i ury provides for all of the state's ex- j penditures except for common schools, I educational and benevolent institutions and the state debt sinking fund. Prior to Governor Marshall’s administration, republican legislatures fixed the levy for the general fund at 12 cents on the SIOO. The democrats on coming into power reduced this tax from 12 cents to 9 Cents, or twentyfive per cent. Not long ago a Washington dispatch I said that President Taft and his supporters derived a good deal of joy out | of the predicament in which former i Senator Beveridge and his lieutenant, ' Mr. Lee, found themselves as a result 1 of the meeting of the republican state committee, a majority of which repudiated Lee. One naturally wonders now whether Mr. Taft “and his supporters" derive as much joy out of the fact that Lee is heading the Roosevelt campaign in Indiana and that Beveridge is throwing all of the influence he possesses to the Roosevelt candidacy. ■— FOUND —A muff on the cross-road at Monroe.

THE THIRD TIME; Has John Kuhl Escaped from Asylum at Richmond Was Found IN THIS CITY TODAY — Will be Taken Back to Asylum in the Morning—A Slippery Fellow. For the third time since last July, I John Kuhl has escaped from the in- ■ sane asylum at Richmond, and has been apprehended by Sheriff Durkin. Mr. Durkin received a letter this morning from Superintendent Smi*h of Easthaven asylum stating that; Kuhl had escaped and asking him to | Ibe on the lookout for him. At 1:30 i o’clock today he learned that Kuhl I was in town and at the Lase Ellis sa- ■ loon, where he was gotten at once j and taken to jail. Deputy Sheriff i Merrica will probably go to Richmond j with him Wednesday. Kuhl seems to I be a slippery fellow to hold in the asy- . lum. He stated that he had escaped ■ Wednesday with another man. The ' I two previous times he escaped he I 1 walked here, but the sheriff was not' able to state how he got here this ■ time. He probably walked as he had not a penny on him when taken. | Kuhl imagines, however, that he has ! all kinds of money, and prior to his first committment to the asylum two j or three years ago, he imagined that a fortune was left for him at the Old 1 i Adams County bank and was being withheld. He states that the German 1 emperor is sending a fleet here to as-1 ’ sist in his release from confinement. ! He suffers from various hallucinations of this kind, but is practically harm- | less. The last time he escaped he was found near Chattanooga, Ohio. H. P. Moses of Fort Wayne was the ' guest of his mother, Mrs. Julia Mo&ts, I and his sister. Miss Annette Moses. [ Sunday. Miss Pansy Bell has issued invitaI tions for a sewing party for tomorrow afternoon in compliment to Mrs. EdI ward Wilson c-f Nappanee.
