Address Allen S. Omstead, Leßoy, N.Y. ——o — Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Friends of Senator Beveridge are surprised to learn that he has sent to Chairman Husenetter, of the republican state committee in Nebraska, a letter indorsing Senator Burkett of Nebraska for reelection. Senator Burkett is a notorious standpatter. It is believed that Senator Beveridge weakened his non-partisan appeal when he urged the re-election in Indiana of Representatives Crumpacker and Barnard. But his friends are aghast when fie puts himself. 9P, record in a letter as indorsing a Nebraskan standpatter. They say he cannot hope for a single dempcratic vote under these conditions. Senator Beveridge’s letter follows: “Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 23, T®. “My Dear Mr. Husenetter: “I have been otit over the state campaigning and have just got your letter. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to come to Nebraska to make a few speeches,' but I am booked day and night for the remainder of the campaign. So I cannot come, much as I would like to do so. “However, I feel that is it unnec- , essary. I am very sure the people of. _ Nebraska will return-Senator Burkett to the senate. The great'progressive - movement that is sweeping over this country needs every man of progressive tendencies. Generally speaking, the politicians now in control of the democratic party are not putting up such men. The whole tendency of the cabal of dominant politicians now in control of that party is reactionary. One has only to consider the dominant influences in that party from New York and Ohio to Texas and Georgia. “I am 'exceedingly sorry that the engagements already made will prevent my coming to Nebraska for I should like very much indeed to be of any assistance that I could in the re-election of Senator Burkett. He should be returned; and I have no doubt he will be returned. With kind regards, \ “Sincerely, “ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE.” — o ———.—

Laura Esther Helm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Helms, was born near Decattfr, Ind., August 11, 1893, and departed this life at the dawn of the new Sabbath, October 30, 1910. Her life here upon earth was 17 years, 2 months and 19 days. In the home, Laura was always cheerful and genteel. From childhood she was modest, obedient and lovable. In all her dealings with her parents and sisters she show'ed a remarkable degree of forethought! She was tender and sympathetic and was careful to speak ill of no one. She was considered a jewel in the home for her life was a real sunbeam in the family. In public life, Laura was regarded as an exceptional girl. Her character was pure and | clean. Because of her lovable disposi- . tion she won a large circle of friends. Anything rude or boisterous was repulsive to her. Her’s was a beautiful life; one to be admired by all who knew her. She gave thought to the noble and the good. Music and liters-

' ture were greatest delight. For several .organist in her own rhiwey Rhy the organ and siritif Because of herMWQO(^- for music she will be greatlymflfsed not only in the home but also in the church where she so regularly attended all the services, until her sickness. Laura’s love for books and education was almost unsurpassed. For these she spent-all her strength and time. She had gone far In the sophomore year of her high school work when she was taken sick and compelled to give up her school work. She was a thorough student and in her power for grasping the trAth scarcely had an equal, as one of her Instructors said that Laura was one of the best pupils that ever came to him for instructions. -Her religious principles were also deeply seated. About three years ago she was converted during the pastorate of Rev. A. B. Haist, and then united with the Salem Evangelical church, of which she remained a loyal member until her death. When in health Laura scarcely missed any of the services of her church. During her long sickness of nearly a year’s suffering, she held up with remarkable fortitude and Christian integrity. Seldom if ever did she complain and when asked about her intense pain she would offer no complaint whatever. She spoke many times with her mother, regarding spiritual things and assured her that if she could not get well she was prepared to go anytime, for, said she, “I am trusting in Jesus,” and then when the end finally came Laura went out of this present life with words of praise for her Lord upon her lips, and with the request that her father and loved ones meet her in. heaven. One commendable deed of Laura’s which speaks in favor of her deeply-seated religious life is the following: All the little sums of money given her during her brief life were saved, placed in the bank, and just before departing from this life, requested that the entire, amount, consisting of something like sl6, be given to our orphans' home at Flat Rock, Ohio. She also selected her funeral-director, sermon text and minister who should officiate at her funeral services. Truly Laura could say from a sincere heart, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Those who shall hold dear and sacred the memory of one whose place cannot be filled are her sorrowing parents, five -sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts, many other relatives and a host of friends. o » 1 '' ' If you are not Mtntod after using according to directions two-thirds of a bottle of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, you can have your money back.

U Triangular j : Courtship! • • J The Ending Was a Surprise • J to Those Who Lost, e • By CLARISSA MACKIE. • ’ • Copyright, 1310, by American Press o! • Association. • •••••••••••••#•••••••••••• The keeper of the Ledge rock light and his two assls-.ants stared aggressively at one another across the dinner table. . . 1 ’ “It’s against the rules for less’n two men to stand by the light, as you both well know,” said the keeper sternly. “I don’t see why it’s necessary for the two of you to go courting on the same night Besides, 1 forgot to say I wanted to be away myself tonight” “You promised that I should have tonight off,” expostulated Eben Gall. “You said I should have every Wednesday night off. I have a lady friend”— His voice trailed into significant silence. “I have a lady friend, too.” cut In Caleb Brown angrily. “I spoke to ’Captain Peter about it this very morning. 1 says to him, I says, ‘My lady friend 'll be looking for me most particular tonight and I can’t disappoint no lady.’ And you said as how B could be off fqr the evening.” He scowled across the table at his fellow worker, and Eben Gail frowned" back quite as fiercely. “Great furyl You can both go, and good luck to your courting.” “Maybe we cpuld get the parson to come over and set a spell,” they chanted sheepishly. < . > “Maybe nothing!" snapped Captain Peter, rising noisily from his chair and leaving the room. That night after the lamp was duly lighted and its beam had sent a long ray across the water the engine received its last attention from thea> sistant keepers. In sullen silence they washed up the supper dishes, and then each, dressed In his best clothes and with hair plastered wet on his brown forehead, went down into the boat that was to take them ashore “You can give this letter to Parson Wilson,” called Captain Peter genially, following them down the winding iron staircase. “Be sure* you give it to him as soon's you get ashore, so’s he can come out and‘stay with me till you two lady killers come home.” Without’ a word Eben Gail crammed the letter in his breast pocket, and then, with a gruff “Good night” to the keeper on the landing, they unhooked the davit Chains from the boat and rowed away into the darkness. Captain Peter Fane went back into the cozy sitting room and, throwing himself into a huge rocking chair, laughed until the tears rolled down his weather beaten cheeks. • • ♦ '• • • • ,Once on shore the two assistant keepers of the Rock ledge light parted company in an ominous silence that bad not been broken since leading the lighthouse. ; Caleb Brown took the lower road and soon disappeared from view, while Eben Gall made his way through an upland path that led him to the parsonage on the hill. There was an unusual air of festivity about the snug house. Bright lights shone from every window, and when the front door was thrown wide open a red. glow from the hall lamp formed a background for the minister’s surprised face. Eben noted that he . was dressed in his Bunday coat, and over his shoulder peered Mrs. Wilson’s rosy face. Eben delivered the letter and turned away. As he went down the path Mrs. Wilson’s voice arose, shrill with disappointment and protest “B’pose they’ve got a party on hand—maybe a donation. I don’t see how the parson can get over to the light this evening. I hope Miss Nettie ain’t gone to any donation. 1 don’t know when I can get off again.” His steps hastened as he drew near the abode of Miss Nettie Blake. Now, Miss Blake was a most fascinating little lady, with soft brown hair and eyes of tender blue. Her equally soft and tender heart had bereft her of the power to give pain to any fellow creature. Perhaps this Was the reason why neither Caleb Brown nor Eben Gall bad been abMW wring a definite answer from the lady both mutually adored. For'a whole year now the assistant keepers of the lighthouse had courted Miss Nettle Blake. At first they visited her on different evenings, but as jealously waxed hot they fell upon Wednesday evening as a proper and fitting one for a lover’s attention, and, as neither could be dissuaded from Ms purpose, first one and,then the other had supplied a substitute to watch with Captain Fane on Wednesday evehings. And this dual courtship did not disturb Mias Nettie’s equanimity. Bhe was as sweet and kind as ever, and she Impartially set forth her toothsome apple pies and elderberry wine while the rivals glowered at each other across her snowy damask. Tonight, however, the little white cottage was dark and'silent. A shadowv form on the doorstep indicated fhA wlieroaljouts of Mr. Caleu Brown,

- authoritative touch, and as his feet l crunched heavily on the gravel path the sound seemed a premonition of what might happen to Ebon’s bold rival if he did not cease his thundering at the door of the one woman in the world day, only she’s too polite to say sol If you’ll go away you’ll find that she’ll open the door quick enough for me!" Ebeh’s voice rasped on the still night ’ air as Caleb Brown ceased from iris knocking. I “She doesn’t answer because she thinks It’s you,!” snapped Caleb, resuming his bombardment “I always knock special,” retorted Eben. “Miss Nettie always recognizes my knock. If you’ll just move along and let a gentleman .that has some rights here”— He paused suggestively. There was an explosive Snort from Caleb Brown, and the knocker fell for the last time with a little angry thud. The first assistant keeper of the light ran down the steps and faced bis rival In the moonlit space before the bouse. His nose advanced within an inch oi Eben’s implacable countenance, and his bend wagged violently. “Say it again!” he challenged squeakiiy. Eben repeated his remark, with a few embellishments regarding Mr. Brown’s personal appearance. After this interchange of pleasantries It is not surprising that another ' instant found the assistant keepers rolling wildly on the gravel, now in the neat borders, where their heels played havoc with Miss Nettle’s choicest plants, again coming in contact with a spiny cactus that pricked them to greater ferocity. At last they fell heavily against A rotten tree stump that supported a red painted flower tub. 'The stump quivered and then yielded to the onslaught The flower tub descended. Just escap-’ Ing serious injury to the combatants. The shower of loose dirt that filled their eyes, ears, noses and mouths brought the warfare to a swift close. Stiffly they arose and faced eactr other in the pale light, dirty, disheveled. with blackened eyes and bleeding noses, their best blue clothes caked with yellow loam, while every crevice of skin and clothing was filled with fine earth from the flower tub. As by one accord they turned and marched out of the gate, leaving the scene of havoc to greet Miss Nettle’s horrified eyes when the sun arose. Caleb Brown strode on ahead, and at an unfriendly distance in the rear Eben Gall limped after him. They crawled into the bobbing dory and rowed silently down the red path that the lighthouse flung across the glimmering waves. A smart little launch was moored at the lighthouse landing, and with the idea of avoiding the parson or other possible callers who had taken pity on Captain Peter's loneliness the two assistants crept quietly down into the engine room, where .they noiselessly scrubbed the marks of combat from their faces and clothing. During these ablutions there was a marked exchange of courtesies between the rivals. They passed the single cake’of soap back and forth and'shared the healing contents’of a huge bottle of vaseline with amazing affability. < The fierce, brief battle In ftotit ot M.’ss Nettie’s cottage had seemed to relieve them of twelve months’ accumulated venom. As they quietly trod tj»e winding iron stairway to their room iu the tower -above the sitting room they paused to fill their pipes from Eben’s tobaccp pouch. Each was mindful of his own bruised eye and aware of the futility of attempting to conceal it from an Inquiring world— L e., Captain Peter and his visitors—should they be discovered. A light gleamed under the sitting room door, and as they passed it the portal swung wide, and Captain Peter himself, smiling and happy, resplendent in his best suit of blue doth, confronted them and laid a friendly hand on each shoulder. “Come in, boys. You’re just in time. Here’s parson and his wife and Benjamin Green and Uncltf Nehemiah Blake and her that was Nettle Blake, now Mrs. Captain Fane.” The two assistants stared open mouthed at the merjy. company that filled the little sitting room, and the lighthouse keeper continued: “Yes, slree! Miss Nettie and me counted on getting married at the parsonage tonight, and everything was ready and waiting; but, seeing that you two boys was set on going court* Ing on this particular night, I just sent word to the parson for the hull lot of ’em to come over here and get married at the light. Benjamin, her brought ’em over in the la’nch, wedding cake, lemonade and all. Now, everybody set up and have something to eat. You’re too late for the wedding, for the knot's all tied, but you can have some of Mrs. Captain Fane's cake, and she’s a royal good cook. Now, Nettle!’’ Mrs. Fane blushed prettily as she took the huge knife the captain gave her and thrust it Into the thick white icing, and as she presented a slice to Caleb Brown and another to Eben Gail she said softly: “I’m going to .be chief cook here. Now, I expect you two gentlemen will enjoy the good things I’m going to make, and maybe you like apple pies." Her tehder eyes asked forgiveness as she made this reference to their former intimacy. Eben and Caleb smiled sheepishly at eqch other and drew closer together. Their common disappointment

I Geneva, Ind., Nov. 5-( S to Daily Democrat)—Daniel Connor, a I well known resident of this city, Is a warm admirer of Congressman Adair, -I and is doing all he can to secure his 'l|||| re-election to congress. Recently ho ■■■ had occasion to test the ability and J x ; willingnoss of Mr. Adair to serve his constituents and found the congress- $ man was “there with the goods.” Mr. Connor’s mother, Mrsf. Catherine Con- '• j nor, aged seventy-nine, also resides J here. Her father Daniel Forber, served in the Revolutionary war, and de- I siring to learn some of the particulars, ■ asked her son to Investigate the matter. It was known that he had made application for a pension and when .^ ? .,| Mr. Adair spoke at Monroe about September sth, Mr. Connor told him the XB|||| facts and asked him to look it up for ■ him. Three weeks later Mr. Connor ■ g received a communication from Mr. .1 Adair’s secretary, the congressman being at that time ill with typhoid fever, fl giving full particulars. From the in- I formation gleaned from the records at Washington it is shown that Mrs. Connor is actually a daughter of the jfl..’g revolution, her father having served ■ in the great fight against England. '■ He was born March 4, 1765. in Morris I county, N. J., and enlisted at Morris- I town, New Jersey, March 16, 1871, in Captain John Howell’s famous company of the First regiment. He march- I ed to Yorktown and during the histor- ■ leal siege there was wounded in the ■ head and breast. This siege cohtln- - ■ tied until after the surrender of Cora-; I wallis. Mr. Forber w&s discharged S March 4, 1874, having served just ■ three years. His application for a.'/ X pension was made in 1840 and he died ' February 21, 1847. The distinguished I honor that thus comes to Mrs. Gatherine Connor is one enjoyed by but few. Os that army who gave us our liberty '1 from King George, none are left and but few of their children now survive. ~ 31 Mrs. Connor is well known here. She has two sons, Daniel and Marlon, and .1 one daughter, Mrs. Nathan Shepherd, living In Geneva. Mrs. Connor came ' X here in 1873. She was born in Stark county, Ohio, in 1831, and was mar* j ' rled to Mr. Connor In 1850.

She is simply fine in her line and gave nine readings which proved the possibilities to be found in good expression. “Rosallnd’s Surrender,” a story of the war, | was perhaps the biggest hit of the evening.
