Stores to Close. An agreement has been entered ( into between the dry goods firms Niblick & Company, Boston Store, M. Fullenkamp and C. F. True to ( close their business houses from one ( to four o’clock of the afternoons of Wednesday and Thursday, September 23 and 24, thus giving tin ir clerks an opportunity to attend the Great Northern Indiana Fair. The idea is one that will certainly be 1 appreciated by the faithful clerks 1 and one too that is deserving. Every

business house in the city should follow the example set by the dry goods dealer. The Great Northern will be well worth seeing and every citizen of the count.' should l» given the privilege of doing so. No doubt other business houses will make these same arrangements, at least it is safe to state that every clerk and proprietor will manage to spend a day at the big fair.

A BiT TOO EARLY Presidential Gossip Thus Far Is of the Premature Sort. Indianapolis, the report that a movement is on to organize Indiana Democrats for Cleveland Is Investigated, the less it will bear Inspection. While there are | doubtless a number of old-time party leaders who would be delighted to see Cleveland at the head of the ticket, again, there is hardly the ghost of a probability of a successful movement being laugurated for him in this state Report has bad it that several members of the Democratic state commit tee were in the Cleveland movement, but that is absolutely untrue. Secretary Reiley, as well as Chairman O'Brien and National Committeeman Taggari savs there is nothing to indicate that there is a Cleveland boom tn this state. The fact of the matter is. there is no organized movement in Indiana for any man for the Democratic nomination for president. Sentiment seems to be divided. For in stance. Captain D. F. Allen of Frankfort, wh’o ran for congress in the Ninth two years ago. and Hug n Dougherty of Bluffton, one of the del-

egates at large to the national convention at Kansas City, expressed themselves for Olney for President while others who are here are talking of Parker of New York. Gorman of | Maryland, and others whose nameshave been mentioned. Arrangements have been completed for the opening of the Democratic speaking campaign next Tuesday night, when John W. Holtzman, can-1 dldate for mayor, will deliver the kQ note. He is now preparing it. Hes deal with the municipal qu/" .'. that have been before the/* 1 prominently and will net ge . formation they probably, cure otherwise. He is to pem(> night, which shows th Bive eam . erats are to ma < ‘ ' oe sur p r | s | n g if paign It »ou . m jj e p U j,R cans on they shou d pu , Qow on H o ß zmac the defensive t Sen of the speechmakIs to do the although it is very Ing for hi^ t and other nr c’-able will take a hand.

1 oid-tinig r(l lending a ]] the aid he can | is no> \v arrU ni, who was the DemoI H.Bc candidate for reporter of the ;./prenie court a few years ago. and who was law partner of the late Frank Burke, has charge of the arrangements for the speaking campaign The Democrats are entering the campaign full of enthusiasm and confidence. and If they can’t win this time it will hardly be worth while trying hereafter.

The statehouse was in the hands of ’ the veterans of the Mexican an-i civil wars today. The corridors of the big building seemed to be running over with the veterans who wore the blue , in those memorable struggles. Perhaps the most picturesque gathering ■ was that of the national association of . Mexican war heroes, who met in the , supreme court room. Their hosts I seem to have dwindled to a mere handful of men who are on the borderland of another world, as scarcely one Is less than seventy-five years of age and some are eighty-five. About a hundred of them attended the reunion, which will probably be the last rhe association will hold, as most of the members are too old to travel. The feature of their session today was an address by that famous old veteran General W. c. P. Breckenridge of Kentucky. There were probably a dozen reunions at the statehouse of members of the Indiana regiments that served in the civil war. It is peculiar to note the statements of the two old party- managers regarding the thirty-day poll, which has Just been completed here. Chairman Logsdon says it shows a O s g | x to the precinct over the slxty-day poll for tne Republicans. As there are about 360 precincts this means a gain of 1.800 in round numbers for the Republicans. Chairman Keach is not going Into figures about the Democratic poll, but he says the result Is very satisfactory. The thirteenth of October, election day, will show who was right in his estimates.

TO AVERT WAR Thl, la Now the Earneat Endeavor of the Powers. Lindon, Sept. 17. —The efforts of the powers, according to the latest tele grama, are directed both at Constan tlnople and Sofia toward an endeavor to avert war. It la said that all the ’ ambassadors at Conatantlnople have; drawn the porte’g attention to the danger of permitting a continuation of the excesses in Macedonia by the Turkish troops and irregulars. Most of the special correspondents In the near east consider war Inevlta ble. but think It may yet be delayed neither the Bulgarians nor the Turks I being really prepared for It. Bulgaria Is not sufficiently armed, while Turkey does not feel safe until her llnGi of communication are less at the men cy of Bulgarian Insurgent bands. A Vienna paper asserts that Prince i Ferdinand of Bulgaria has s»nt trusti ed agent to King Peter. Inviting Servian co-operation against Turkey The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at Sofia says Bulgaria’s reply to the porte's protest against the continual crossing of the frontier by bands and the smuggling of arms and amtnunltlon from Bulgaria was couched In most uncompromising language leav Ing no prospect whatever of an arnicabls arrangement.
