NOW YOU QUIT:— The New York Times hands out some hot ones to Senator Watson of Indiana, thusly: “.Mr. Watson was his own Favorite Sea. .Millions of faithful Hoosier hearts were longing fur him. Nobody except the very extensive crowd of lli v -i idgiam ami Newites omitted to love him. Hi wisdom, his clear mem ory of things that Harry Daugherty ami other statesmen have told him. go the honor, of being the chairman the m ijestic hush with which his *k< i imtes’ are listened to by Indiana and the rest of these United States.l, arc as familiar us washing and lax bills. Would ’Jim announce?* This was a grate matter. Gravely did Mr. t Mat- ui and momentous political otlii i.-Js from Indiana ponder. The , high decree is understood to ivavc bc-u pMMd. , Mr. Watson will not allow the overwheiiiing passion of Indiana nimbi cans for his beautiful eyes to inter-■ fi-rc with the President’s prospects.. He will choke otf his formidable 'boom*; in consideration, it is said by | the cynical, of 'recognition’ at Wash-'] inx'on of Ilia superior title to the ln-‘ title of n once famous Indiana book.L you might imagine that lids was a | New Harm ay Purchase.’ It Is also said by the children of , compromise that to .Mr. Watson may.) go the honor of being the chairman' of the Indiana delegation to the (*hv<‘ljrnl rim wilt k>n.

Wm. J. Bryan who has had considerable to do with democratic national conventions since 1896 when his •'Cross of gold’’ speech landed tin nomination for himself is out with a , new one. He has selected Dr. A. A t lurpbree, of Florida as the one and r ’ inly man to head the democratic ticket. No one seems to know much about tills Dr. Murphree and it is not ; t all likely Unit ho will gel far in the lace, In fact it is possible that Mr, » Bryan does not expect him to. The h Commoner is a candidate for delej s gjjte io tile convention and with his 1 state instructed for his doctor, will i control the vote from Unit section. > evidently he has not fully decided to 1 whom he will turn but is wise ' enough to hold control of some votes. The plot thickens and the story always interesting, becomes more so. It is with sincere regret and sorow tliat -we announce today the pas•ng of one of Decatur's oldest citizens, a business man here for nearly half a century and a man loved and admired by all who knew him —Jacob .Martin. Honest to a fault, always | ourteous, ever anxious to serve others, kind to every one, a loving •nd indulgent father, a splendid high ■ lass citizen. His death occured l.ittle Rock. Arkansas. where he had | gone for a visit with two daughters, j The announcement of his death hoiked and surprised our people. Mr. Martin served us a member of tlie city council sixteen years, efficiently. faithfully and with the ap- | proval of the people of the cotumuu- ■ - Lew Shank dares Ed Jackson to stick his head out as a candidate for ivi-rnor and declares he has enough . ou him to put him "under cover.” I Jackson claims about the same for 1 Shank, YValb 15 mad at everybody, ' Watson Is riding two horses in oppo- , site directions.

Indianapolis. Ind., Jan. 14.—Rain fall ing in certain parts of Indiana is so I divided that a portion of it (lows : into the Atlantic ocean byway ot I the Great Lakes and St. iaiwrence j river and a portion enters the Missi issippi river and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Either course covers a dis- | tame of more than I.UOO miles, but I water draining to the north has a - much slower route for its progress ! through the lakes is retarded because of the slight descent. According to the Handbook of Ind iana Geology, a publication of the division of the state conservation de partment. about 89.5 per cent of the state drains to the Mississippi river, and 10.5 per cent to the st. I.awrence river. The entire area of the state. ( including that portion of Lake Michigan which lies within is 30,550 square miles, of whieli 32.692 square mile* drains into the southern route, and . 3.858 square miles drain into the northern route. The divide in Indiana may be considered a continental divide, as the water discharged from each side go into remote water bodies. The high'est point in this divide is in Randolph county where the elevation is 1255 Jeet above sea level. This point is called a hyprographlc center. The lowest point in the state is at the , month ot the Wabash river, where the elevation is 313 feet above sea level. The great divide of Indiana enters the state of Ohio between the Wabash and St Mary’s rivers some twen-ty-five mile* south of Ft. Whyne und dround the rather vague headwaters of Eel river in eastern Noble county, thence westward to the north central ,Komtiusko cottnty north of Warsaw, .where it turns in a northwesterly direction. It pusses just to the south und west of South Bend und across i the Indiana-Michigan lino to the 'northwest of South Betid. It immedi- . atejy re-enters indiuna und passes southwest and west parallel to lake , Michigan and on the average some ten mile* distant from the lake. This I divide is nowhere high and is not I very sharply^ defined. In places It iy so indefinite that the water near it ist time* g rHl * the other way. a* in the* : old glacial water routs near hYirt I Wayne and South Bend During the 1913 flood, water from the St. Mary's river pussml over the
