HE WOULD LIKE IT He Will Be Opposed by Gum Shoe Bill Stone. St. Louis. Nov 11.—Accompanying a declaration that under no circumstances wo'Jd he permit the use of his name in connection with the democratic presidents! nomination. Governor Folk confided to friends at the Southern ho'el last night that he has t decided positively to enter the race for [ United States senator. At ‘he same i time the governor made it clear that he intended to withhold a definite announcement of his candidacy until January 1. One of his supporters reminded the governor that w hen he was circuit attorney of St. Louis he announced himself for the gubernatorial nomination more than a year in advance of the election. It was argued that an equally early campaign was necessary to capture the senatorship. Governor Folk answered with the statement that he did not want to begin the campaign until such time as he was certain he could give it the proper care and attention. It is pointed ; out by Governor's Folk's supporters I that all of his official appointments \ have been made and that with no pat-! nonage left at his rMsposal, political ( enemies cannot charge that his ad- < ministration would be embarrassed if! he were to promulgate his political aspirations without further delay. Again the fear is expressed by more than one of the governor’s lieutenants that another candidate besides Senator Stone may figure in the senatorial sweepstakes Within the last few days ex-Attorney General Edward C. Crow has received letters from various parts of the state urging him to make the fight against both Senator Stone and Governor Folk. Heretofore Mr. Crow's name has been mentioned only as a candidate for governr. but even this suggestion is without his authority. o ANOTHER NEW ONE. James A. Hendricks, agent at the G.

DEALT IN BIG FIGURES She Done a Pittsburg Millionaire for Three-Fourths of a Million. Pittsburg November 8. —The exact amount of money that the late Cassie I. Chadwick secured from J. W. Friend, the milionalre Pittsburg car builder, in return for a package of papers worth one-eighth of a cent a pound at the rag man's is 8798.200. This fact was established today when Chief Justice Mitchell, of the supreme court, made public the deposition dictated by Mrs. Chadwick at the Ohio state prison, at the instance of counsel for Mrs. W C. Jutte. in litigation with Friend and F. N. Hoffstat president and vice-president of the Pressed Steel Car company, of Pittsburg. Friend and Hoffstat have strenuously tried to keep the deposition from the public, fearing ridicule, and succeeded in haring the lower court, before which the Jutte case was originally tried, seal the deposition. In unsealing the paper, the chief justice says the deposition is insignificant. The Jutte case which involved Securites valued at 11 507 344, asserted by Mr. W. C. Jutte to have been secured by Friend and Hoffstat from her husband while he was insane, and a short time before he committee* suicide at Atlantic City had received added interest from a rumor that Mrs. Chadwick would make interesting disclosures in its connection. Friend, it is alleged, procured the services of exJudge Wing, of Cleveland. formerly of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, to act tn persuading the noted swindler from disclosing the facts of her dealing with

MAY BE SERIOUS He is Charged with Impersonating a Government Official. Moses J. Krohn, who formerly graced this city with his presence, v- l called this his home, according to the Indianapolis Star of Sunday, was indicted by the federal grand jury of this state who on Saturday adjourned after one of the shortest sessions ever held by that body. Fortythree indictments were returned by that august body, including the one against Krohn, who is charged with impersonating a government official in order to obtain money. The Star did not state whether Krohn was in custody or noL and upon this point we are unable to enlighten the public although Mose has been seen in that city during the past week, and if not now in the custody of the federal offio rs. he soon will be. Krohn left this city some time during the month of August going from here to Portland, where he was engaged as day clerk in one of the leading hotels of that city. From there it is presumed that he went to Indianapolis, where he got into this present trouble. Krohn left Decatur practically owing every one he could induce to loan him a cent, and his indebtedness here alone will amount to three hundred dollars. Since leaving here the banks have received numerous checks from various banks over the state whom Krohn had given his personal check to for sums ranging from ten to twenty-five dollars, which the banks were forced to return unpaid. as he had no funds here with which to pay them. A few months before Mose left this city his children who had been going to private school in Chicago, came to this city u> be cared for and instead of treating and caring for them as a father should, he placed them in private families, promising to pay for their keeping and these people who were kind enough to take his children are among those who are holding the sack. As matters now stand the children will be forced to shift and make their own way. Krohn was a big good namred fellow who did not know the value erf a dollar and spent the same as fast as he made iL He had an interest in his father's estate all of which he has squandered, and as a result his chil- | dren are forced to suffer for his folly. ■ That Krohn has met the fate that he j is deserving of is the concensus of < opinion of all. and under the circuxn- ■ stances Mose may be forced to serve , a little term in the state prison.

A Kansas paper tells the story of an old negro who rose up in his church and made these earnest remarks; “Brederin’ and sisterin' Tse been a mighty mean nigger in my time. Tse had a heap of ups and downs —specially downs —since I jined the church. Tse stole chickens and watermillions; Tse cussed; got drunk; I shot craps; I slashed odder coons wid ma razor, and done a sight o' odder things; but thank the Lord, brederin' and sisterin’ I never yet los my religion.”

IGNORES BEVERIDGE The Fairbanks’ Machine is Looking Away Ahead. “There is no Question in my mind but that the machine that is now in charge of the republican state committee has laid its plans for the downfall oi Senator Beveridge" said a Prominent Marion politician yesterday evening, to a Marlon News-Tribune reporter Should Jarn-s E. Watson secure the gubernatorial nomination and be elected to that office, through the efforts of the coterie of politicians who have in the past dominated the stare ticket, regardless of the wishes of mtre than 1 -1 1 delegates in the state convention. I think there is no doubt but that he will be an active candidate for the United States senate to succeed Senator Beveridge. “Before the meeting of the republican state convention my prophesy is that Hugh T. Miller, present lieutenant governor and candidate for the nomination of governor, will pall out of the race and seek the nomination of lieutenant governor. If the scheme of the machine works successfully. Watson will be nominated for governor. He win serve a little nt.ce than two years when he will be elected to the senate and this will necessarily lead to the promotion of Miller to office ot governor After serving Watsa's unexpired term as governor. Miller will be a candidate to succeed himself. EXHIBITSTO BE LARGE The Dates are November Thirtieth to December Seventh. The ever growing popularity of the International Live Stock Exposition is becoming more apparent each year, which fact is evidenced by the phenomenal increase in the number of exhibits entered for this year s event. At the 1907 Exposition there will be about 1.30) pure bred cattie, fully the same number of pure bred and imported sheep, nearly half a thousand of the finest specimens of swine and nearly 700 beautiful high-bred horses. The show will not only be greatly increased and improved in its exhibits this year, but the Union Stock Yards Company has again evidenced its liberality and enthusiasm for the improvement of live stock by exp-ending a handsome fortune in providing additional facilities for this greatest Live Stock Exposition. The sheep exhibitors will be given new, bright and cheerful quarters and an enormous, handsome, new sale pavilion. constructed of concrete and iron, has been erected on the show grounds. Many additional and attractive features wih be added to furnish entertainment for the visitors, and as an educator along live stock lines to comparison can be found to this great exhibition, which is the supreme final contest cf the season.

TAFT BOOM COLLAPSED. The Vice Pres dent Played Good Political Game. Washington, Nov. 11.—The generally admitted collapse of the Taft presidential boom and the criticisms which have been visited upon those who have had it in hand has served to create the belief here that Vice-President Fairbanks has adopted a sensible course in his attitude toward the presidential nomination. Some of his closest friends have at times been disposed to criticize the vice-president because of his failure to sound periodical keynotes or permit the establishment of any boosting bureaus, either at Washington or Indianapolis. The promoters of the Taft presidential boom were successful in cutting a wide swath in the newspapers. Their expendi’tures in securing readable matter intended t draw favorable attention to the Taft candidacy has run far into the thousands, and postal cards, circular letters and other forms of advertising literally by the ton. o “Do you know,” said a clerk in one of the big dry goods houses the other day, “that the number of women who make their own clothes is increasing rapidly all the time? Women who formerly had all their clothing made by the dressmakers and tailors now do much of their own work. I suppose the reason for this is that the prices of the dressmakers keep increasing and their patrons figure that they can have more clothes by the money they save in making their clothes themselves. If the movement keeps growing tt may result, eventually, in lower prices lor dressmaking.”

MANY NEW THINGS During the Next Year this Company Will Show Great Progress. The Democrat has just completed a neat ard attractive catalogue for the Keller Incubator company, of this city, that will be used by them as an advertising The catalogue is a thirty-two page affair, which is filled with good things concerning the relative merits of the machine. This is the finest catalogue ever turned out by this company and many new and additional features have been added to it which makes it very interesting reading matter for those interested in the modern and up to date way •?f raising caicxens. Mr. Keller recently received a new patent on a portion of the machine commonly known as the Brooder, and much is said in the new catalogue concerning the Keller Incubator company in tbs past. but this year we are confident that more will be said concerning them and the machine they manufacture. The incubator is something that is admired by all that have seen and used them and they have and will stand every test required of them. The machines and brooders have outdone and are still in the lead of anything of a like nature on the market, and we predict overwhelming suocess for this concern in the sear future. INDIANA ALWAYS IN THE LEAD The census bureau at Washington, in a bulletin recently made public, presents surprising figures in regard to the growth of the carriage and wagon making industry in Indiana It announces that 7.156 wage earners are employed in this industry In Indiana, which is more than are employed in any other state. The capital invested in these Indiana establishments is |22.276.315, and the value of their products increased from 812 661417 in 1900 to 815.228.337 in 1905. The bulletin also says: “At each census the greatest number of wagons was manufactured in Indiana 1 —14.4 per cent of the total at the census of 1905, and 16.5 per cent at the census of 1900. The state also held first rank in farm wagons with 15.5 per cent at the census of 1905 and 16.6 pen cent for 190 Q.

A PARTITION SUIT i A Marriage License Issued to Two Popular Young People. By far the largest claim ever filed against an estate in the Adams circuit court is that of E. Woods, against the W. H. Niblick estate. The sum total of the claim is 873,900.00, but as it is for an accounting and indudes some large contracts in this county, at Warsaw. Rochester. Whiting and other cities, the real difference if there is any difference, will naturally be greatly reduced. The firm of E Woods and Co. was organized January 1, 1896, and were in existence for a little over ten years. During that time they handled some large contracts and were known over many states as contractors of note. Clark J. Lutz is attorney. Peterson and Moran, as attorneys, filed a partition suit for J. H. Voglewere guardian for Elizabeth, John A.. Henry and Charles Gluting vs. John Gluting. A marriage license was issued Saturday evening to Chauncey L. Oliver and Miss Mattie Buckmaster, the former of Monroe, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion L. Oliver, afid the bride a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Euckmaster of this city. —(j ARE MOVING AN ELEVATOR. Curryville Loses Business Industry to Peterson. The elevator that has been at Curryville for several years, is now on its way to a new home at Peterson. A moving contractor from Echo took the job of moving the structure to Peterson and began work on the last week. It will require from four to six weeks to have the building placed in its position, but after it is properly arranged, it will furnish much better service for the farmers in the vicinity of Peterson. The reason for the removal is that the railroad company has taken out the switch that furnished transportation of grain from it, and Mr. Burke, the proprietor, decided that it could be used to a good advantage at Peterson.

HAVE GOOD SPEAKERS An Interesting Time is Promised at this Time. Ed Moses, president of the Farmers’ Institute, informed us that ‘ the dates had been set for the insti- | tute in his county and that the . speakers and demonstrators had been assigned. January 29th and 30th are ' the dates that have been assigned for the event in this city, and for the | occasion the state has furnished such speakers as A O. Lockridge, of i Greencastle. Ind.. J. N. Deuttes, of Logansport. and Mrs. Flora N. Meeks, of Randolph county. The above named speakers are ranked high in work of this kind, and the session promises to be one of interest from beginning to end. Mr. Moses has charge |of arranging the program for this institute and will announce the local speakers in a short time. The farmers in this community during the past have taken much interest in these institutes. and President Moses is confident that the coming one will far oatshine all former events. The date se- for Berne is January 23rd and the speakers he states has assigned for this meeting are J. C. Newson, of Marion county and Mrs. Clara D. Carter. of Seymour. Ind. These speakers also come highly recommended and the meeting at Berne should also be a decided success. Mr. Moses Is anxious that every farmer in this section of the country take note of the dates assigned and be on hand for the first day’s session and remain for the finish. NEW PLAN IS ADOPTED. Mayor Coffee Will Engage Night Men as Special Police. A new ylan has been adopted by Mayor Coffee to engage the services of night police. Since the city council ordered the clerk to serve notice on the police th a- their services were no longer needed. Mayor Coffee has ordered policemen Frank and Reynolds to go on duty each evening and acting under orders from him eaeh night, they are special police. The mayor is bound to have police protection and he states that he will continue this system until the council ceases to interfere with his duty. Whether or not the council will allow their pay as special police is left to be seen.

THNKS CARDS WRONG Whether Played by the Mother or Some Other Member of Household. When Superintendent Fitzgibbons, at the meeting of the state school board, the other day, said: “Some of the society mothers had better be at home taking care of their children and keeping them out of the alleys and streets where they form vicious habits than be away at the Euchre club,” he said a wise thing. However, there are many mothers who do keep their boys and girls from the streets and alleys, and who have taught them also the evil results of card playing and that all forms of gambling are wrong, but what can these mothers say when Johnny, or Susie, looking up from the evening paper exclaims “Why Mamma, the paper says that teacher won the prize at the Euchre club last night. Mamma, is that gambling?" Let school boards and teachers frame some sort of consistent answer to this embarrassing question if they can. Oh. if parents and teachers would seriously ask themselves, “What influence is my life and teaching exerting upon the little lives entrusted to my care?” It would save many a heartache in the home and perhaps save many a life from wreckage. A PUZZLED MOTHER.
