Hating Hell and despising Bookwaiter, the only alternative left the Indianapolis News in the coming campaign is to support Mr. Johnson, whom its cherished friend, Mr. Schafer, of Chicago, rammed down the protesting throat of the somewhat enervated bull moose with his paper, the Indianapolis Star. That’s a fine situation for a saint of the Lord to be left in, now isn’t it? —Fort Wayne News. Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, one time candidate for president on the bull moose ticket, and otherwise famous over the globe, will appear in court at Marquette, Michigan, Monday in a most unusual role. He Is the plaintiff in a SIO,OOO suit for libel against George A. Newett, publisher of the Iron Ore, at that place. In his paper last summer Newett made the statement that “Roosevelt gets drunk, and that not infrequently and that his intimates know it.” He says he will try to prove it and many witnesses and depositions will be used, the trial probably lasting two weeks. Newett is described as a man with a “fighting face,’ ’and there will no doubt be some interesting climaxes during the hearing. It is preposterous that a man of the supposed size of Mr. Roosevelt should have to bother with such a matter. Either the charge is true and this stirring up will make it worse, cr it is untrue and should not be noticed.

Mrs. James had the misfortune to fall down the cellar steps December 2, breaking her ankle and tore the ligaments loose.

Reynolds and granddaughter, Daisy Reynolds, went to Fort Wayne today noOn to call on their son and uncle, Gert Reynolds, at the Lutheran hospital, where he|Was operated upon yesterday. ’ o WILL WED SOON. It is rumored among the barber shops and other authorized centers of the latest and up-to-date gossip that Decatur is soon to hear of the uniting of one of its energetic young business men and one of the fairest of fair belles of the city. While the bride-to-be has already made one venture upon the sea of matrlmohy and, much to her misfortune, found it to be a very rough and storm-swept place, ending upon the rocks of divorce, she is still willing to take another voyage, trusting that the captain of her ship of state will prove far more trustworthy and true than the last one. —■— o Leave word at this office or at home on South 12th street.—-Bertha Kirchner. 11Bt3
