THURSDAY, OCT. 3. The anti-Tammany forces of Greater New York have nominated Seth Low for mavor. — The portrait of the late president will adorn the new series of national notes that will soon be issued. Having seen nothing to the contrary. w« suppose that Judge Bench is still a candidate for congress in the twelfth district. Czolgojz the doomed assassin of President McKinley, was taken from Buffalo to Auburn state prison Friday to await death by electrocution. _ , The Indianapolis election takes place next Tuesday, and while the result is in doubt, yet the democrats , have made a noble fight and deserve • to win. Indianapolis is ot least 3.000 republican and with 6,500 voting negroes. tpe odds numerically are

against the democrats. Kentucky authorities have asked Governor Durbin for a requisition for Taylor and Finley, the two refugees ■who have been harbored by the Indiana g. o. p. for the past two years. Up to this time the governor has rend ered no decision in the matter, but indications point to a refusal. The Muncie Times editorially preaches against yellow journalism and then makes room fora contributor to puke up a column of dirty rag weed in which he tried to maintain that the principles advocated by Emma Gold- J man were identical with the teachings of Bryan. The Times is certainly too yellow to be making faces at any of the fraternity. Czolgosz says it was the teachings 1 of anarchy that instigated him to take th*- life of the president, while the republican organs say it was the influ- , ence of the Hearst newspaper car-; toons. If the editors are correct in their view then every republican I newspaper that published a villanous caricature of William J. Bryan was a teacher of crime.—-Miami County Sentinel. The foreign bcra voting population of Patterson. New Jersey, the hot bed of anarchy, exceeeds the native born' population by more than 3,500. It was at this place the plot was formed to murder King Humbolt of Italy, as well as that President McKinley had been marked for assassination. Italian anarchists make up this foreign population at Patterson, they being employed in the large silk factories. The red flag waves with absolute fte> lorn at Patterson, and the anarchists there are in the employ of the trusts, and the trusts are closelv ' allied to the g. o. p. Draw your own conclusions as to which political par . ty is responsible for the wholesale scattering of the seeds of anarchy.

’Domination is now impossible.

The demo-; cratic party is and alwavs has been a believer in law. order and the ma jori tv j rule. On the other hand the files of 1 the republican newspapers during;) the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 wifi | show with what tender solicitude they i j alluded to democrats as "anarchists." History records in no instance of the : democratic party running rough shod ) over the will of the people and steal- : ing a presidency, or of a democratic governor setting aside the federal 1 constitution, and taking under his protection men legally indicted for . murder in another state. Hc-re is anarchy not taught but practiced. The petitioners in asking that the!' Decatur and Preble macadam road be built within the corporate limits to ), Fifth street, was the means of defeating the whole proposition, at the elec-! ■ tion last Saturday. Many of those I who are favorable to macadam roads voted against the road Saturday be- ' cause they felt the imposition of) building their own streets and their), neighbors as well. They were justi-1. lied in such a course on such an argn- I ment. At the same time it might) have been better to have laid this little defect aside and voted for the road. Decatur as a business center i depends almost entirely upon its. agricultural trade, and to get it good roads must prevail. Ibe macadam, roads now built and under construe- ) tion have already amply demonstrated j their benefits to the merchants of our city. Let the building of good roads, continue.

PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Theodore Roosevelt, president cf ■ the United States, was born in New i York on October 27, 185 s. The Roose ■ velt family is one of the oldest in the ; United States, the forbears of the president being prominent in the early historv of New York under the Dutch rulers of that province. Pres;-1 dent Rooevelt had many advantages, among them hang the opportunity to[ acquire an education and in 1880 he was graduated from Harvard univer- ■ -rty. Politics early engaged his at-1 tention. In 1882 he was elected to the ! legislature of New York, serving one term in the house. In 1886 he was a; candidate formavor of New York City.; but was defeated. The campaign he ' made for that office attracted the at- j tention of the republican leaders, and j in 1889 be was appointed as a member | of the national civil service commis-' sion. He served in this capacity until j 1895, when he was made president of; the New York police board. He' served in this capacity until 1897, when he was appointed to the position of assistant secretary of the navy. When the Spanish-American war ; broke out he resigned bis position as 1 assistant secretary of the navy and . with Dr. (now general) Leonard Wood recruited the First United States cavalry volunteers, of which he was made lieutenant-colonel. This regiment was popularly known as "Roosevelt’s Rough Riders.” This regiment distinguished itself in Cuba, and after ; the battle of La Quasina LieutenantColonel Roosevelt was made colonel. Colonel Wood having been promoted. After the declaration of peace Colonel Roosevelt returned home, and later in the year (1898 i was nominated by the republicans of New York for governor. He was elected after an exciting campaign and served out a full term. He was nominated for vice-president of she United States by the republican national convention in Philadelphia in I June. 1900. and elected the following i November. By the death of Presi- , dent McKinley he succeeded to the I presidency. President Roosevelt has especially distinguished himself in the held of letters, having written a number of books and being the author ot numerous magazine articles. Among others of his books the following are perhaps known: “Winning of the West,” “Life of Gouverneur Morris,” “Life of Thomas Hart Benton.” “Naval War of 1812,” “History of New York,” “American Ideals and Other Essays, “The WilI derness Hunter,” ‘HuntingTripe of a Ranchman,’ "Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail.” “Hero Tales from American History,” and “Rough Riders.” the last being a review of the war with Spain insofar as the regiment commanded by Colonel Roose ■ velt was concerned. Theodore Roosevelt's nomination for vice-president was made against his earnest protest. He sought by j everv means within bis power to pre i vent his name being presented to the I convention for that office, but when ' the nomination came to him unanimously he bowed to the will of the party to which he had always paid his allegiance and entered upon the campaign with characteristic vigor. He traveled across the country making campaign speeches, everywhere greeted by great crowds anxious to see and hear not only the candidate for vice president, but to see and hear the man, who next to .Schley and Schafter, was the most talked of man in connection with the campaign in Cuba.

Sever Die of Consumption. “Pitchers never die of consumption.” | The big man with Lis sleeves rolled up, wielding the cleaver at the block, said this as he threw a beefsteak on the scale. It sounded more like a trade superstition than a fact, but so far as diligent inquiry has been able to discover it is tree, although not generally known outside of the meat chopping craft. Butchers art no longer lived than men in other walks of life. They are subject to all the other ills that human flesh is heir to, but consumption they do not Lave.

The fact is well known among butchers and has been often the subject of their comment, although none of them can give a reason for it. * No.” said a man who has swung sides and rounds in TVashington market for the last 20 years: "I have had rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots of other things, but nothing has ever been out of gear with my lungs, and the same is true of every other butcher in this town. I know nearly all of them, and I never board of one of them having consumption. They don't drink blood or take any especially good care of themselves either. I don’t know why It should be so unless it’s because the continual Inhaling of an atmosphere of fresh meat is strengthening. “I have often thought when hearing of consumptives going to Colorado and Egypt that I know of a climate nearer home that would do the business just as well. If they would stay in this stall for awhile and swing meat, they would get well quite as quickly as they would on the top of Pike’s peak.”—New York Mail and Express. ANIMAL LIFE.
