Carlisle, former secretary of the treasury, who has been critically ill for the past two days, died at his apartments in New York at 1:50 o’clock this morning of heart failure, accompanied by eodema of the lungs. An Intestinal complaint of long standing, which - bore down his vitality, lay behind the technical fact of heart failure. He was attacked last spring by the same trouble complicated by an ailment of the kidneys and for a time hovered near death. But his remarkable vitality triumphed then, as It seemed it might even in the illness which ended this morning. John Griffin Can lisle was bora in Kenton county, Kentucky, on September 5, 1836. He was educated in the public schools, later studied law and was admitted to the bar. Always a consistent democrat and interested in public affairs as a young man, be rose from the Kentucky house of representatives to the •fate senate, served as lieutenant governor and finally graduated in national affairs. From 1877 to IUO he was a member pf the national house and from 1883 to 1889 was speaker of the house. He .resigned,to fill the unexpired (term of < James .H. Beck, In,.the United States senate, from which he again resigned in 1893 to become' secretary of the treasury tinder President Grover Cleveland. With, the retirement from power of the democratic party in 1897 he withdrew from politics and took up once more the practice of law, this time in New York "City, where he continued to live until his death.

These cattle will be shown at the various county and state fairs until the week of the sale, and each show animal will be offered for sale at that time to the highest bidder. The cattle raised by Smith & Ullman are the finest that grow, arid the best in the market, as the great number of premiums borne off by them over cattle from all over the United States can show.

I and Indfonajxme. According to the story President Taft asked Mr. Watson and James A. Hemenway, former ; congreaeman, to recommend,men for ’ the postoffices in certain Indiana cities.. This they did to the satisfaction ot the president. In the meantime, it . Is understood, Senator Beveridge . learned of the affair and instead of i going to the president, hied himself , to Postmaster General Hitchcock. Just i what happened there is not known, I but when the list of postmasters, , which had been sent to Hitchcock i by the president was ready for the sen- [ ate for confirmation, it wds a differ- . ent list Names had been changed. . Learning ot this Watson and Hemenway went to the president to make Inquiry. They were infromed flatly ! that if the list had been changed it ! had not been done by the president or , in his office. “Mr. President, please i put that in writing," requested Wat- > son. Armed with this letter Watson . and Hemenway went to Postmaster . General Hitchcock. They were ini formed that changes had been made at the suggestion of Senator Beveri idge, who, it was said, had told Hitchi cock the changes were approved by , the president Then Watson and Hemenway flashed the letter from the president in which he denied all knowledge of the changes. Postmaster General Hitchcock, is is said, demanded the letter, but Watson and Hemenway refused to surrender it and hold it to this day. This puts Beveridge in a peculiar light. If Hitchcock is to be taken at his word and President Taft’s letter speaks the truth, as it undoubtedly does, who told the untruth when he informed Hitchcock that the president had approved the changes In the list of postmasters? There Are those who recall Hitchcock's ambition to,serve ,as } United States senator from either Indian Territory or New Mexico. They also point to Beveridge's influence in these states because of his activity in behalf of their admission to the Unloa.’ They put “one and one*’ together and drhw their own conclusions as to why might have happened to the president’s list The postofflce row in the Eleventh district is a heavy burden for Edwin M. Lee, republican state chairman. It Is the hottest postofflce fight that the republicans have known this year, although postoffice troubles are known to be a source of great dissatisfaction in every district in the State. This last one in the Eleventh (district has Chairman Lee at his wit’s eiffi. Not only must he be disturbed by foe perplexing problem of “regular" and ‘‘insurgent" counties and (district on the tariff issue,. but these postofflce fights must bob up and «dd tuel to the flames of republican dis--1 affection. It is peculiarly embarass- > tag to Chairman Lee. The republican state committee is the personal una- : Chine of Senator Beterldge. Chair- ■ man Lee must recognize Beveridge as “boBS.” Then to have the “boss" through his agents, such as Elam Mehl, stir up conditions of thisisort, is a sad trial to the chairman. The . Charges made by Henry Geisler of Hartford City that Elam Neal, as dispenser of patronage for Senator Hevtefidge, promised Geisler the Hartford ■ City postofflce and deliberately ‘teoW . out" to L. C. Johnson, who was appointed, have upset the district and the state chairman. Moreover, Geisj Her (has promised to tell other things that will not add to Chairman, Lee's jpteasure. \ . .Vie : / It is estimated that a thousand people visned Mapre Grove park Sunday :and were rhighly delighted with the free •entertainment given by the management of the park, in which the Australian iKelleys, in their extreovriinany .etock whip feats were conced«d as performers of the highest abflfoy. finch feats as cutting a cigarette foam the .-mouth of Mrs. Kelley, cuttic* off the meek of a bottle, snuffing i out toe Eight of a candle many feet away—aM by (the eklllful managing of a whip—wito anaay other wonderful feats, made up a program, the like ot which tee teWtom teen witnessed in cities of raudh larger size than this.

Smith held a little seesion of court Monday in the cool of the evening. As a consequence of this Charles Straub of Third street and “State" Smith, who boards with him (and who will be better remembered as a son of Mra. George Syphera), upon 7 their plea ot guilty to provoking Marion Vines, are languishing in the county jail, and where, unlees they can furnish the required bond, which they have failed to do thus far, they will be for ten days, or as time is reckoned by the small boy—until the Hageabeck-Wallace circus has “come and gene," The provoke, it Is said, grew out of an accusation made by Marton Vines, charging Straub and Smith with the stealing ot some chickens from him. This accusation so aroused the Ire of the two that Sun-

day they went to the vftee* borne W South Eleyent street, located between the Erie tad Clover. Leaf raiirQada, wheryto ’use .the expressive Words ol Geonft Syphers, Smith’s steptateer, they intended “to beat the rags off of him, and they would *b done it, too, 4f ' he hadn't run' back into bis doorway when he saw them areomlng." It is said that taey did threaten him all sorts of violence, but Vines, plucky tad brave, from his own doorway, persisted in the accusation and toM them, It is said, they “did take the chickens, and he could prove it, too.** Things finally quieted down, with n» outward personal violence but not so the turbulent spirit of Vines, which seethed and boiled in genuine volcanic fashion within his breast, from the disturbance and provoke created by the two, tad which finally found relief ta an eruption in police court, when Monday he filed affidavit against them on the charge of provoke. The two men Were arrested Monday evening about 6:30 o’clock in tbe Ed Johnson ren dezvous by Marshal Peterson tad taken at once before the justice of the peace, where they acknowledged the charge and were fined, and failing te pay, sent to jail. Charles Straub is a son of Dan Straub, who is now in jail on a blind tiger Charge, and the reunion will no doubt relieve the mo notony of a quiet at tbe jail that has been unbroken for a few days. •ir »■ ■ - - MADE GET-AWAY ON WHEEL?
