The' message from the grandmother was as ttpected:, “If you cannot bring him here, take him to Carmichael.’’ As the grand-,, mother hand already signified her wU- k lingness to Miss Armstrong that she should have the consolation of bur- ( lai of the body, there was very little doubt as to what her message would he, but the formal consent wes de-’ " sired by Coroner Grandstatt for his ‘ protection in case of centamversy, the grandmother being after the father, !

cere? unartee E. Sefrit. editor of the Washington Herald, a rock-ribbed republican newspaper at Washington, Ind., says, No!” Sefrlt’s paper is regarded as a republican oracle and Sefrit as the strongest republican editorial writer in Indiana. He has made the statement editorially in the Herald that if Beveridge’s vote had been needed for the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, Beveridge would have voted for its passage. The news created somewhat of a sensation among Indiana republican politicians, who, heretofore, have taken Beveridge at his word. With this flaw in his record, nothing is left him upon which to stand, it being his an- ’ nounced intention to make his campaign as an insurgent upon the Payne- i Aldrich bill. The Scott county Journal, commenting upon Sefrit’s charge, says: “The editorial puts Beveridge in the position of a rank hypocrite and political charlton, and that his vote in the senate, his state conven- ; tion speech, and his state platform is only to fool the people. The editorial is addressed to those republicans In Indiana who are finding fault with Beveridge because he did not vote for the bill. Watson, Hemenway, Cannon and> Aldrich, on bearing the news, ’ “jes’ laffed.” The conservative element of the republican party, which , is opposing Beveridge, Is said to have entertained this view of his “Insurgent” activities for some time. In a degree, it is explained, this is one of the secrets of their dislike for him 'as a political figure. They believe he is not sincere in his acts and speeches, and that he is “playing to the gallery.” The fact that they mean busi- ! ness and intend to expose his insincerity in his own state, is evidenced by the announcement that Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, is coming into In-1 diana and will stump the Fifth dis-1 triet in behalf of Frank Tilley, repub-j lican nominee for congress. Tilley ] has announced himself as a standpatter, and he has said that, if elected to congress, “no democrat will "have j occasion to applaud bls vote.” With! Cannon praising the tariff in the Fifth district and Beveridge assailing , it in another Indiana district, tbei republicans will face an awkward sit-' • uation. The state committee knows, • this and has endeavored to avert the, ■ trouble. Cannon’s speeches in Kansas were “bad news” to the committee, 1 for they feared that he might come ! to Indiana with them, to the embar- t ‘ 1 assment of Beveridge. They also ( ’ feared the example of Cabnon and its • effect upon his ardent admirer, form? | > er Congressman James E. Watson. | L In the announcement of Canno’s • coming their worst fears are realized 1 The Fifth district declared for the '..Payne-Aldrich bill and the coming of ! Cannon is “rubbing it in.” It has not ' been announced that Cannon wifi 1 speak in any other district, but it is • not improbable. Other districts tn . > which the tariff bin was indorsed will >! doubtless not be slow in urging tire • most conspicjjous defender of "fireir 1 faith to come among them. Another ■'complication is added by Congresst man Crampacker’s message to the re- ' publican state conmdttee.

" i —— Wilhelmina Elizabeth Hilgemann, 1 nee Lammert, was born on the ninth ( ' of February, 1823, at Linnen, KriesJ 1 Thecklenburg, Province Preussen, Ger- 1 many. Her devout parents dedicated ’ her in early childhood to the Lord through the sacrament of holy bap- 1 tism. She also received thorough religious instructions and by the rights of confirmation was received into full membership of the Reformed church. ; She always remained a noble and active member of the church. In the i year 1846 she, her sister and other! emigrants came to America and set- ’; tied in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Here she entered into the holy bonds of matrimony with William Hilge. I Their union was blessed with five ! children, four daughters and one son. j I Having resided in Cincinnati a little more than ten years, the family mov- ( ed 'to Adams county, Preble township, i Indiana. Her husband died here in ’ j ! 1857, leaving her, with her children. ■ But on the third of October, 1857, she, i was married to Henry Hilgemann, j with whom she shared the hard work. *of pioneer life. In the year 1874 she and her family moved to Kirkland 1 township, wherq they labored under • rich blessings and became well-to-do, and amassed considerable wealth. < This second union was blessed with ( < three children, two daughters and one sou. After the death of her husband, [ i which occurred on March J, 1909, she (longed for her demise. After a slow and tedious ailment she passed away about 1 o’clock Thursday morning, July 21, 1910, She attained unto the age nf 87 years, 5 months and 11 days. Two husbands, two children from the first union and two from the second, •preceded "her into. eternity. There remains to mourn ,her departure three i Slaughters and one son, sixteen grandchildren and eighteen great-gtand-•cliildren, many near and distant relatives and friends. Flood the heart with parting tears, Trot the head with pasdng years, Let the days of earth be filled with care; But the Lord at length will come, In his love to take us house, .'And we’ll never know a sorrow there. ’.i ' ■ i- .—0 — Indianapolis, Ind., July 36—(Special 'to Daily Democrat)— Tbetoptnion prewafts among democrats that conditions rare far better for democratic success ! this year than tney were two years ago when Governor Marshall swept ’ the state and was elected >ta a presidential year. ThiS view is strengthened by the reports of the democrats Who come in from various parts of the State. Some of them meatfly report the conditions in their own neighborhood but, when these reports are put together,* the same general ttenor is preserved. Candidates who tawe been tout of lhe state siring up emffiltions are unlfarmly enthusiastic. Governor Marshall ts wondering how the republicans can support Senatay Besreridge on the staengi... of his tariff utterances and tt the same time opposr the (democratic nominees for congress who jfeught the same bill. *'l cannot nee,” said the govertraf, •‘‘hew the republicans can insist upon •tire return of Beveridge for his attack on the Payne-AMrich tariff bill without insisting up«n the return of the democratic congressmen and the nominees ta the Sixth and Tenth districts. Ffariey Gray of Comrersville and John B. Peterson of Crown Point.” The orfy ground upon which such support could be given, it is believed, is the opifrtdn, which is growing In strength each day, that Beveridge is not sincere and was not when he voted against the tariff bill, This might account for the support of certain republictea but it would not bring the endorsement of the voters. The charge made against Beveridge by Charles Sefrit in his rock-ribbed republican organ, the Washington Her-! aid, has spread over the state and is 1 Mg tonic o'conversation. Sefrit openly charged that Beveridge

would have voted for the tariff bill If his vote had been necessary for Its passage. This charge was made in the editorial columns of the Herald and Fas directed to those republicans who are “regular and object to Beveridge’s “assault” on the tariff. Another startling republican admission bas been added to the campaign by the Indianapolis Sun, which id moving heaven and earth to rerelect Beveridge. The Sun admits that the foreign vote cast In the last state election, and which defeated the democratic state ticket, wajs “illegal, corrupt and rotten to the core. The corrupt practices nl Lake county in the last campaign,” | says the Sun, “are still fresh in the minds of the people. It was proven that 3,000 foreigners were Illegally ( voted in Lake county, men who had not been in this country long enough to be naturalized. The tremendous republican majority which that county ( gave and which saved the republican state ticket, was illegal, corrupt and rotten to the core, and it is to the shame of the republican party In this state that it ever defended the herd of foreigners, less than six months away! from Castle Garden; men who could not read or write or understand the English language. It is even a mat-| ter of court record that so ignorant' were they that they thought Taft was something good to eat, for after they had been Illegally voted they were-tak-j en to an eating place and when asked what they wanted said over and over 1 again ‘Taff,’ ‘Taff,’ ‘Taff.’ ” »—o The marriage of Miss Lois Beryl Stewart and Earl O. Burdg occurred Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the Presbyterian parsonage at Fostoria, Ohio. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. C. Martin and was witnessed by Miss Helen Burdg, sister of i the groom, and Mrs. Martin, .wife of j the officiating clergyman. The ring ceremony was used. Miss Stewart >B. the only daughter of R. P.

The) groom is a son of Mrs. Mattie Burdg of Fostoria, Ohio, and has been employed in this city as advertising manager and window decorator at the Weiler store for more than one year. The newly wedded couple will reside | in the Stewart property at 615 West Walnut street, where they are already at home to their many friends. The Stewart home will be remodeled, the t work of improvement starting within ' the next few weeks and several ! changes will be made.—Portland Sun. The groom is a nephew of Al ahd Marsh Burdg of this city and became acquainted with many here while visiting Decatur relatives. The thirty or more In attendance ai the German Reformed Christian Endeavor business and social meeting at the home of Miss Esther Sellemeyer Monday evening report an unusually pleasant time. The social was given on the lawn, which was resplendent with Japanese lanterns strung across the yard and in the arbors. Two camp fires on the lawn provided a 'place for the roasting of marshmallows, while a ten-pin board, see-saws, a ring for the rolling of hoops, and other amusements made the affair a true lawn fete and very much like a miniature fair. To complete tiie idea, Harold Kirsch, with his basket of peanuts, candies, pop-corn and other refreshments, made the rounds in realistic concessionaire style, the pro ceeds being contributed to the new building fund. Inter In the evening a luncheon in two courses was served on the porches by the hostess, assisted by others. The August social will be held at tire home of Miss Matilda Sellemeyer. A party composed of Mrs. 1... Schnitz, iftrs. Charlie Schnitz and Mrs E. M.

The first session of the convention will be held late today, and ever since his-ar-rival Colonel Bryan has been busy lining up the forces who are favorable to county option, and is nailing down ail the Recruits possible. An effort was made to effect a compromise, the first steps taken in this manner of settlement coming from Bryan’s opponents, but they were met with refusal, so this means that the matter will be threshed out on the floor of the convention. Bryan will be one of the

speakers and It is said that it will be the effort of his life, In all probability it will discount his famous cross of gold speech, made at the national convention at Chicago in 1896, and which won for him the nomination for the presidency. Lincoln, Neb., July 26-r-( Special to the Daily Democrat)—The republicans of Nebraska are holding their state convention at Lincoln, insurgency and county local option exponents having things all their own way. A strong indorsement of insurgency is promised in the platform. “ Henry Smith, aged seventy-eight, a veteran of the Civil war, today successfully underwent an operation for strangulated hernia, which was performed about 11 o’clock at his home on Marshall street by Doctors J. M. Miller, W. E. Smith and P. B. Thomas, the latter administering the anaesthetic. Mr. Smith nad been a sufferer at times from hernia since the Civil war, having contracted the affliction during service in the army. The worst attack came, however, last Saturday evening, and it was found that the only relief that could be obtained was by the operation. The operation began about 11 o’clock today and lasted an hour. Mr. Smith rallied from the effects of the anaesthetic and is doing well, the operation being most successful. A trained nurse will be secured from Fort Wayne to attend him. o WENT AWAY TO WORK. W. H. Murphy, Who Disappears Suddenly, Writes of Whereabouts. Mr. Holmes of tnis city has received a letter from W.

He stated that he is at Moline, 111., where he has a good job at carpentering at $4 per day. He did not give his reasons for leaving, but it is said that he has wanted to go away from home i for some time to seek work, but was restrained by the objections of relatives, so he just concluded to leave and sent word later. His strange dis- ’ | appearance caused considerable wor--1 ry among relatives, who feared that he might have met with foul play. o .. Monday evening at 8 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Nettie Schrock on Rugg street was solemnized the marriage of her daughter, Nellie Jane,, to Dr. Orren Ernest Smith of Indianapolis. Promptly at that hour Dr. FYed Patterson sang Edward Teschmacher's beautiful wedding song, “Because She Comes to Me,” which was followed by the Mendelssohn wedding march, by Miss Jean Lutz, as the bridal party entered the parlors. The bride, who entered with her brother, Mr. Will Schrock, was preceded by her sister, Miss Elizabeth, as maid, of honor. The groom, attended by Dr. Sumner Warner of Indianapolis, met them in front of a bank ferns and daisies arranged in the baywindow of the parlor, where the ceremony was pronounced by Rev. Q. H, Myers of Montpelier, a brother-in-law of the bride, assisted by the Rev. Richard Spetnagel. The Episcopal ring , service was used, the simplicity and impressiveness of which was beautiful.

Miss Eliza- ; beth wore a pretty frock of silk mull 1 and lace ovet yellow taffeta and cart ried yellow roses and daisies, f The house was attractively deco--1 cated with ropes of smilax, asparagus and large white daisies.
