The prayers were answered. That was a million-dollar rain for the farmers of Indiana. You can almost see the crops grow. Reputation is what your bank thinks about you—Character is what the Lord God Almighty knows about you. Get the difference? —Brass Tacks. The special trains from Indiana to the Baltimore convention will leave Indianapolis and Fort Wayne next Sunday. Hundreds of democrats will be aboard, and the Marshall-for-Presi-dent boom will receive a big boost when they arrive in the eastern city. It looks like Roosevelt this morning. The colonel is in the thick of the fight, directing his forces and from the affidavits being filed by the Taft forces he seems to be using some queer tactics for one who abhors crookedness as he professes. The Chicago Post and all the Indiana Stars have finally announced that they are for Roosevelt. They have flip-flopped so many times with each turn of the wind, but this is but another evidence that they think the colonel is on top. If he should slip, they will back up again. The elastic George Stout is doing the convention for them. The finance committee for the “Old Home Week’ will get* busy today and tomorrow. It is important that De- i catur celebrates her seventy-sixth ■ birthday, her achievements and ad- 1 vancements, the opening of the first j sugar factory in Indiana. We can’t, do it without money. Meet the coin- I mittce cheerfully and in a businesslike manner. That’s all it is—a plain and simple business matter. Treat it that way. When Teddy is nominated it will be interesting to watch just how the Fort Wayne News and other faithful sheets will “skin ’er back.’’ The greatest oi all grand stand fakirs, the president of the Annanias club, the only original vaudeville performer, the man who asks what had been refused to Grant —a third term, the man who takes his campaign money from the big interests and bluffs at being the friend of the common “peepul,” will suddenly become the greatest of all patriots and the only man in the world tit to be president.

BIG DAY AT EVANGELICAL. The children's day program Sunday at the Evangelical church was a signal success. Owing to the rain the attendance was not so large, but in the evening the attendance was unusually large, and taxed the capacity of the house. Quite a number stood, ■while others found no standing room. Some of the good things were: Recitations, readings, dialogues, class drills, solos, duets, quartets, men's and ladies’ choruses. The decorations were in keeping with the occa- . sion. The collection amounted to $15.84. This is exceptioally good, considering that many are giving liberally to the building fund. All in all it was a good day. o _ COURT HOUSE NEW The June marriage license rush continues unabated, four having been issued.
