Reeves of Blackford county, John Milton Saytarof Huntington, Fred I. King of Wabash, Judge Gamble of Logansport, E. Poe Klihg of Miami and John. L. Thompson of \ Grant county. The delegations arrtve<l this morning, Wabash sending a crowd of over 200 to “root” for r The convention opened at 11:30, Warren G. Sayre Os Wabash being h chosen as temporary chairman. In his speech he said he regretted more than he could say the fact that a large republican district like the ■Eleventh should be represented in congress by a democrat, as it had < been for several years and pleaded for harmony. He referred to the death of President Lincoln, this being the anniversary of his assassination. The various committees met < at noon and the afternoon session convened at 1 o’clock. At the afternoon meeting of the convention, Hon, George Funk of Logansport was chosen permanent r chairman and' Dr. Harris of Peru, permanent secretary. The committee reports were heard, the resolutions endorsing President Taft and his adand Albert J. Beveridge and: his record. Nothing was, said about the PayneAldrlch bill unless the Taft reference Included It, neither was the county option law mentioned. On call for nominations, the / candidates mentioned above were all placed before the convention excepting Mr. Reeves, who, At the last moment declined to allow his name to be presented. At 2:30 the delegates were preparing for the first ballot; It Is expected that the convention will be a long one. o • PUZZLE:—WHO WAi HE? .. “ An elderly lady, a representative of the Salvation Army, waft in the r «lty Wednesday taking offerings for use in helping the fallen in large cities. The lady told among others of an Incident that came to her noticl here, and which seemed to bear heavily upon her sympathies. She said she had Just stopped into, a cigar store a little distance up the street and that one of the men there wrote on a slip of pappr and put it into the basket with the other Collections. Thinking that it was a piece ot bankable paper, and not having her glasses with her she asked him to read it to her. “The poor fellow,” she said, “shook his head and pointed to his lips. He couldn’t talk, poor thing. And he was such a fine-look-ing, large man, too.” v ; \ • I •' The local encampment of the I. O. I O.

The city of Terre Haute is alive with Interest over the meeting and the residents of the city are making preparations to entertain thousands of members of the G. A. R. and, others directly or Indirectly connected. The Commercial club, Young Business Men’s clubs, Retail Merchants’ association, Spanish-American War veterans, Sons of Veterans and Sons of the American Revolution bave appointed committees to assist in the work of arranging a program for the entertainment of the visitors. The theaters in the city are booking shows which will be run as free attractions? A unique feature of the encampment will be a naval battle upon the Wabash river. The event will occur at night and will be watched by the spectators under the glare of powerful search lights from the top of the magnificent Wabash bridge. During the course of the battle fire will be opened oh the boats from a fort that is being constructed. A company, of infantry will be seen marching in a land attack on the fort. Another event that is not associated ordinarily with the state encampments will be the dedication of the beautiful monument recently completed by the people of Vigo county as a tribute to the memory of its soldiers and sailors. The visitors will also be taken on motor' boats down the river to the site of old Fort Harrison. This will be interesting in that soldiers stationed there as a protection against the Indians were, at different times, under the command of two men destined to become presidents of the United States—General William Henry Harrison and General Zach Taylor. Numerous camp fires will be held. Several distinguished visitors will be present.

Daniel Drew, the cattle drover, who decided to go into “spekllatlon,” became one of the most unique and influential characters in the history of Wall street He formed one of the Drew-Fisk-Gould-Tweed regime that wrecked the Erie railroad in the early seventies. When he got into a tight place, which even his shrewdness could not always prevent, he would “spit on his hands and take a new holt” Twice in his lifetime he came near to being cast out into the streets a beggar. On the second occasion he saved himself with five minutes to spare. It happened this way, says Bouck White in his remarkable biography of this remarkable character, which Doubleday, Page & Co. pubs sih on April 11th:. Drew, Flak and Gould succeeded in “locking up” a large number of , “greenbacks with the purpose of . tightening the money market, and ! produce a fall in •securities.” A vlo- , lent storm of popular abuse arose ; and Drew deserted his partners and . started selling Erie stock wildly. It . is not hard to understand why Fisk , and Gould then determined to “break Drew,” He had often tried to play the same trick on them in the past. Drew was "cornered” and though a consignment of Erie stock was on its way from England, Drew could not buy stock quick enough to cover 8t the appointed time. The man of millions found himself within threequarters of an hour of utter destitution. In his own words: "This was at 2 o’clock. At a quarter to three the stock would have to be delivered. I thought I was a goner, js Queer figures were seen coming into , Broad street—tailors from uptown; boot-makers, small cigar dealers, and ’ the like. Each of them had one or . more ten-share certificates in his inside pocket It had been calculated t by Fiske and Gould that this partic- . ular Issue , had been bought by Engr llsh investors and was safe across the j way. Now they were being dragged t from their hoarding places by the 3 high prices we were offering. This . help cwne none too soon. I grabbed I at every ten-stare certificate that was „ offered. Jimmy and Ms black-faced partner tried to head me off—. - It ’ was am excßltag time on the flor of the exchange. They did succeed in absorbing much of wtat was offered. But I worked like a house afire, Five minutes before closing time I grit my * shorts covered. But it had been at an I awful cosft. This squeeze in Erie ’ stock cost me weill-nigh a million dohars.” ’ X “The Book of Daniel Drew” by ’ Bouck White, is. the first adequate biography this spectacular figure has received. Told in the first person, the uncouth, countrified vernacular Imparts a tone of grim irony and humor. , ' * r 49 GENERAL TONIC RELIEVES CONSTIPATION.

THE ELUSIVE CARIBOU I An Animal of Mystery Is This Wil- ( derness Wanderer. RESTLESS, FLEET- AND SHY. | i He h Keen es Sight, Subtle of Boont, Aoute of Hearing, Strangely Inqulei* t tlvo and Can Eaeily Travel Fifty Mlloe in a Single Day. To those familiar with the timbered wilds and the dwellers therein the woodland caribou is an animal of mystery, the wanderer of the wilderness, the most restless, most inquisitive member of the entire deer family. Like thd moose, he carries an antic crown that tempts sportsmen to long, leg wearing tramps in faraway places, and except in open countries, where -his kind gather in immense herds to feed on the moss barrens, he is one of the most difficult of game animals to get a shot at Both the bull and the cow of the caribou tribe wear antlers, the latter’s being more delicate in beam structure and not so widely bladed as those of the bull. Where there is lack of snow to aid the tracker in translating the thls-way-and-that of a caribou trail a cunning like that exercised by Kipling’s Mowgli in. the story of the “King’s Ankus” is quite necessary for success. Being extremely restless, the caribou, even when eating or drinking, is not content to glean his fill from one place, no matter how abundant the food. It is a nibble here, a slip there, and so on until rods and sometimes many acres are covered in satiating a mild hunger. The natural food is a moss which is to be found on bog land from Maine to the limit of vegetation in the north, and ths ash green, beardlike moss peculiar to sprues tops in the big woods. This latter sustenance comes to them after lagging operations or when a huricane tears through the solitudes and lays flat scores of trees. Because of his restlessness the Indians called him the wandering one. tad that’s what his Latin name suggests. His natural gait is a trot, a long, swinging, tireless trot which eats distance with the sureness and steadiness qf brook flow. Hers today, he may be fifty miles away tomorrow and back again the day following. Unlike the deer and moose, the caribou never plans to yard up for winter. His feet are large and deeply deft; his ankle joints flexible, and when he walks in the snow his dewclaws touch, tiie whole spreading out into a kind of snowshoe. After the light fluffy snow of a heavy storm packs and settles the caribou can go over it fast enough Jo prevent being run down by a hunter on snowshoes, and his winter hoof is so constructed, With npdrawn frog and

Is extremely shy. When a herd bivouacs for a rest it is usually in a woody opening or <m the windward side of a bog. This scheme of precaution permits of eyes to open and nose to cover, and, being both keen of sight, subtle of scent and acute of hearing, nothing more tangible than a cloud shadow; can approach without being seen, heard or scented. Curiosity sometimes brings serious trouble to the caribou, as, for instance, when being trailed. Long before a tracker walks to view the animal .knows he is being followed and will shift his course in order to avoid his pursuer. Very often the hunter, unaware that the quarry is within gunshot, Is being quietly looked over by tite caribou, who has made a detour to survey his back track from a flanking position. Once he gets his eyes on the hunter bls curiosity increases, and the desire to learn more about the two legged outfit who has been following bis spoor usually results In a bullet being sent in bis direction. The young of the caribou are reared and schooled in remote, lonesome places in the depths of the timber. When the calves ire three or four weeks old they are coaxed and butted into jumping over logs or blow downs that later in life they may know better than to hesitate when fleeing from danger. The deer is a natural jumper and wtt take a fallen tree or a fence for the sheer fun of jumping, whereas au •Mthtored. caribou will duck under or go hround. The calves as well as the mature animals are very fleet of foot, especially when frightened into a run That gait, however, is not natural for them. and ft kept at It for any considerable time they tire. An Oldtown (Me.) Indian, once asked if caribou ever were dogged in Maine, seemed surprised and said: “Dog d’ caribou? I guess no! D’ caribou he tun so blame fas' he don’t leave no scent,” which, is a good description of the speed with which they measure distance between themselves and danger. The range of the woodland caribou is from Maine to the great lakes, though from Maine, where years ago many fine herds roamed through the upper wilderness of the state, they seem to have vanished. A close season law was enacted for a number of years to give them an opportunity to multiply, but the belief of old hunters who know caribou fs that they set out for a long trek down across the New Brunswick border for virgin spruce, moss and bog lands neW. ' ' ' Great herds of caribou roam the for ests of New Brunswick,.Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, and there are thousands upon thousands of them in Newfoundland.
