Not so much lost but what there is a little gain. Everything has become so scare in tlie last year that it seems that there is a scarcity of flies this, summer and no one seems to regret it. l ™"" 11 ' r ■■■ ■ Two weeks from today the famous Mountain Ash Welsh Choir composed of fourteen Welshmen will give a concert at the Decatur Chautauqua. This concert is well worth the price of the season ticket. The Forty-eighters were beaten in the convention held in Chicago yesterday for the purpose of starting a third political party and the reports have it that the country may see a new fourth party. It is true that a few houses are being built in Decatur, but the demand is for ten times more than we have. A half dozen houses could be rented this week. Can’t you figure out some way one. It would be a blessing if this special session of the legislature would adjourn by Friday. It would save the taxpayer’s money and would leave fewer laws for the supreme court to "knock out.”

i j Why the appropriating of twenty I thousand dollars for the second ex I traordinary session of the legislature if it Is to be only a five day session? ■We doubt if the people will receive ! that much in return. If the legislature passes a law leg allzing the horizontal increases placed on property by the state tax board which section was held unconstitutional by the supreme court, the tax payors will be prevented from getting that money rightfully due them. Don’t let your business lag during the summer. The people of today must eat, wear clothes and those , who go to housekeeping must have furniture. Advertise what you have in your store and we’ll wager that you find a buyer. A third politicul party, called the ’ Farmer-Labor Party” was launched in Chicago yesterday and Parly Christenson, an attorney of Salt Lake City, Utah, was nominated for president. No doubt the question will i now be, is Parly a Morman? -.-..3! 1 Whether it is due to the season or the crusades conducted against them or that better sanitary conditions prevail, something has prevented the pesky flies from inhabitating this section of the country this year, which fact should encourage the keeping up of the “swat the fly campaigns.” Bellmont Park, the beauty spot of during Old Home Week I I and the Northern Indiana Fair will be a safe place for everynooy. The fair management has made arrangements with the Pinkerton detective association to have a number of "plain clothes” men on the grounds and if a pick-pocket succeeds in lifting your watch or sliplng your wallet, he’ll have to be “slicker” than the Pinkerton’s. Labor is friendly to Governor Cox because he is a friend of the working man. He has always opposed any

deni or legislation that would cramp the man or woman who made their living by the sweat of their brow. | Whenever disputes or differences arose between -the employer or employee, Governor (Jox upon taking the mutter under consideration always settled the controversy satisfactory to both parties. Proof that he Is tin executive. As governor of Ohio. Jimmy Cox gave that state a better legislative program than any state in the Union, secured under their respecitve gover- : nors. At the last election we regreted that the state line couldn’t bo , shoved over and Indiana be given the . advantage of his sane and sound business legislation. Through his efforts , the state expenditures were placed on a budget system and the cost ot overnment was reduced. No spai clal sessions of the legislatures were held in Ohio for the purpose of ap- ’ proprlating money for the upkeep of i the state Institutions or the devising of away for increasing the ot I the people. He also succeeded in having a blue sky law passed for the purpose of encouraging proper investments and to protect investors against fradulent securities. His ad--1 ministration has strictly been a business one and today Ohio stands out 1 as one of the most progressive states 1 in the county. Governor Cox is the right man for president. It seems not only that everj<iody in this country is going somewhere, but that they all want to travel in , Pullman palace cars. The day coach is not popular at this time. Many .oads are actually leaving them, off and using only Pullmans in the trains. Nor does the extra fare charged upon certain fast trains keep them from being patronized. "The king of England couldn't get a berth to the Adirondacks this weekend,” said a railroad man in New fork, in commenting upon the luxury < f travel these days. "The Twentieth Century Limited, which used to run in one section, now runs three or four. The Lake Shore and the Wol-

verine run three sections. These are extra-fare trains, remember — all | Pullman cars. The regular trains I with day cogches run half-filled. I This condition is not peculiar to New York and the East. It is the same out] this way. Everybody who travels reins to have money enough to puyj for a seat or berth In a palace car. | Luneh boxes are not carried as they I once wore, either. All go to the diners for their m«als. Nobody tries to save a penny; nobody seems to pay j any attention to expenses. Even the tramps who used to be content to ride! between the bumpers evidently have! the Ihetuis to pay for a first-class passage. Poverty is not visible about the railroad stations; want is not heard of as one travels from place to place.' Luxury is the order of the day.—Columbus, 0., Dispatch. MADE A CHANGE IN HER Mrs. L. Gibson™ 12 th & Edison at., i La.lunta, Colo., writes: "My kidneys] were giving me a great deal of trouble | for some tiine e.nd I took Foley Kid-. ney Pills ttnd ; they helped me right away. They made such a change in me that I feel fine." Foley Kidney Pills promptly relieve backache, rheumatic pains, sore, swollen or stiff muscles and joints. They put the kidneys •nd bladder in sound, healthy condition. Sold everywhere.

A night school will be held at which "Old Heads" will discuss the fine points. Tuesday the program of the national shoot will be followed. War in Mexico must be a very insipid affair compared to the kind Sherman once referred to in language that has become famous.

THE LARGEST TUNNEL The construction of the longest tunnel in the world is contemplated t) be constructed under tl.r Hudson river connecting New ■ ■ I- and Njw Jersey. There are m-i'iv tunnels large en< uiilf for a rallrc • 1 train to go through, but this tunnel will be large enough 'fo: several automobile? to pass each other. The tunnel as planned is more than a mile in length and thirty feet in

diameter. The ventilation problem i; taken care of by a nelaborate sys tem of pipes which force in pure uli and let the bad escape.
