JAVriIHIEIiOT® Several Gentlemen Haiti to Be Willing to Sai rilit'c Tlionisclves. ! SHANKLIN OF EVANSVILLE. Tom Taggart I* Also Mentioned by Many of His Friends—Lieutenant Governor litortiiner Nye Recognized ns a Candi-date-Forced to Drink Pink Lemonade.i Trotleycwr Accident—State News. Indianapolis. Aug. 3.—There is a' i story abroad here to the efl’ect that Tom Taggart’s indecision with regard to eti taring the mayoralty race on the Demo cratic ticket is due to a plan which Ims for a purpose the’ springing of his name as a candidate for governor. A good many of Tom’s friends believe that his political reputation and services entitle him to recognition outside of and beyond Marion county, ami have set their eyes on the gubernatorial chair as a fitting reward. Others think, however, that Mr. Taggart’s aspirations are more clearly directed toward the auditor’s office in the statehouse, Byway of Louisville comes the information that Gil Shanklin, while visiting Editor Daily of the Jeffersonville News, declared himself as in the race for governor, arid this positive announce ment is regarded as the signal for the beginning of the fray. Mortimer Nye, lieutenant governor, is also a recognized aspirant. These two, gentlemen represent diverse opinions on the financial question. Ex-Congressman Cooper is expected to be among the seekers for this honor, and ex-Cpngressman Bynum would not surprise many of his admirers by an announcement to the effect that he could be counted among those who would accept the place at the head of the ticket, Assembled at Bethany Park.

Tonight the Bethany College Pierians will give another concert. Under the Tree, at Acton. Acton, Aug. 3.—Yesterday Dr. Sims lectured in the morning, and in the afternoon addressed an audience on “The Typical American.” The annual march of the Chautauquan graduates in the afternoon was a beautiful spectacle, many little girls strewing the path with oak leaves and flowers. They marched to the tabernacle, when those entitled to the honor passed through the “golden gate.” Mrs. Dr. Gatch, president of the assembly, addi’qssed the audience, and a round table tAik was led by Mrs. R.

'condition 'OF Tlfflt ■ Perceptible Halt In Some Lincs of Business Noted.' f J, , ’ *4 [ , .' : C \ ' LATE SPRING RESPONSIBLE. ' Oeneral Advance* In Price. For Many Product* Also Chiiro. a Unit In Purol>H«lng — Volume of Trade For the Week Larger Than the Previous One. Failures For the Week. 1 New YorK, Aug. 3.—Dun & Co.’s re- ’ view of trade says: There is a porcep- . tible halt in business which may de- , ceive it attributed to wrong causes. ; Trade was two months late in the spring, >! which pushed forward into July a large • share of business belonging to April or ■ May. Seeing a rush of orders out of ‘ time, many imagined it would continue ' and hurried to give other orders. The iam of two months business into one I J lifted prices. Then other orders came to anticipate a further rise. But the . midsummer halt was inevitable, and it is yet somewhat uncertain how much improvement will appear after it. The crop of corn promises to be the ' largest ever grown, and is almost out of harm’s way. The cr ip of wheat ap--1 pears from later accounts perhaps 20,. ' (MMi.OIM) smaller than was expected a month ago. 7. The general advance in many products also causes reluctance to purchase, and the distribution of the past half year has been in part to make up for stocks and individual supplies depleted during two years of economy. On the other hand, there has been enormous increases in the working force and a considerable increase in wages paid, which enables people ’to buy more freely. Strikes of some importance appear, but do not yet threaten to last long. . For the first time since the rise in prices of ijou products began, there have been some concessions to retain business and the efforts of new works to get orders tend to check the advance. In spite of this the general advance of prices is a shade higher, bar iron having risen relatively more than mill iron has declined. Finished products are generally strong, with more demand than can at present be met for plates and for bar. Failures for the week have been 261 in the United States against, 230 hi year, and 28 in Canada, against £4 la-5* y> a . Bradstreel’* View of Trade. New York, Aug. 3. — Bradstreet’s says: The week presents a larger volume of trade in, many lines than in the weeks before and one year ago. The rush of orders for steel and iron leads in interest,showing remarkable strength. Western manufacturers have been obliged to purchase eastern billets to meet their orders. Another conspicuous feature of the week is the evidence of reviving confidence on the part of western and northwestern interior merchants now that the corn and spring i wheat crops promise well. This is shown plainest at Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and St. Paul, where order demand and sales to buyers in person have increased to a striking extent. Exports of wheat (flour included as wheat) from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal show a moderate increase over a week ago, the total being 1,460,000 bushels, a gain of 200,000 bushels. This is due to increased exports of flour. PETRIFIED CAT. .Mystery of a Century and a Quarter Ar-o Solved at Last. White House Station, N. J., Aug. 8. The mystery of the disappearance of Peter Simmerson’s pet Maltese cat has at last been solved. About ago Farmer Sinnuerson erected t>.e first house at White House Station. Mr. Simmerson was the owner of the finest 1 Maltese cat in the neighborhood, and I was very much attached to it, Strange to say, he named it “Toni.” While the building was being erected “Tom” sud- ' denly disappeared and no trace of hfin ' could be found. Owing to the traditions 1 of bvgoue days, the story of “Tom’s” disappearance never left the minds of the household. Yesterday the mystery ' was solved. While workmen were repairing the roof they discovered the petrified body of the favorite, “Toni” had evidently crawled under the roof 125 years ago and there met his fate. He . lay between the rafters and the roo* - and looked as natural as life. ' were partly opened and he appeared as though he’had just awakened. ’ Outlaws Wear Steel Armor. J Hennessey, O. T., Aug. 3.—Jack Ward, a member of tne posse lighting Zip Wyatt’s gang in the Gloss motintj ains. claims that he waswithin 20 yards of the outlaw leader and fired three shots, each time knocking him down. ’ He says he heard the shots strike metal 1 each time and thinks Wyatt wore a , steel armor. Wyatt escaped in the f heavv timber. Defeat Caused by a Broken Gaff. . Newport, R. 1., Aug. 3.—The Vigilant won the Goelet £up for sloops yes- , terday because the Defender was forced 1 to withdraw from the race within half a dozen miles of the finish on account of a brokeu gaff. But for this accident 2 the Vigilant would probably have been 1 nine minutes or more behind the Def fender. , * 1 Texas Ruffian*. , Dangerfield, Tex., Aug. 3.—Seven men called James Mason, a negro, from ' his house and shot him dead.
