PROBABLY A HOAX Alleged Cleveland Movement in Indiana Hard to Locate. Indianapolis, Sept. 18.—A statement by Zack Seifers of Salem, who has twice represented his legislative ditrict in the house, is an illustration of how kindly the Cleveland boom Is received by the average Indiana Democrat. ''There is no Cleveland sentiment in our part of the state," said he, "and I believe that if he should be nominated then would boa party revolt with us. What the Democrats should do is to nominate some man agreeable to bo.i factions of the party and not try to make matters worse by nominating someone who would merely widen the breach.” Other Democrats are talking the same way. This fact is mentioned here because of the report that an attempt was being made to organize the state for Cleveland. John R. Wilson, a prominent Democrat here, who was cred ited with being at the head of the Cleveland movement, declares that he knows nothing of such a movment, so the story may have been a hoax after all. Considerable interest is being taken generally in the effort to have the Wabash river made navigable from its mouth to Lafayette. The people of the Wabash valley are. as a matter of course, intensely interested and they have formed an association for the purpose of going about the matter in an organized, systematic way. Up tc this time things have been easy enough, but a man who attended the conference at Terre Haute expressed grave doubts today as to whether or not the government will make snffi cient appropriation to carry out the giant project. The Wabash most of the way, is a wide, shallow stream, and no one seems to have a definite idea of what the Improvement would cost. Yet the government has undertaken more difficult and more costly projects successfully and with an en thusiastic organization such as the Wabash valley can produce, it will be hard for the government to deny an experiment at least. It is surmised that the railroads that cross the river at different points may attempt tc block the project, as it would mean a great expenditure to them in putting In and maintaining drawbridges. Although me state fair has been sadly marred by the rain, it has served to show the greatness of Indiana in several lines. The exhibits are indeed a credit to even as magnificent a state as Indiana. Tue stock department, including horses, cattle, hogs and sheep offered surprises to every visitor Indeed. but few people Imagined that Indiana produced such fine specimens The horses were especially fine. Then the poultry department, according tc members of the National Poultry as sociation. which is meeting here, was as fine as could be offered by any state The fruits of the orchard and field were beauties to behold, and the exhibits of Indiana-made machinery were larger and of a more varied nature than ever before, showing that Indiana has gone ahead as a manufacturing state. In fact, the display was so large that It is very probable that the ground will have to be enlarged next year. It is also likely that the board will make an effort to secure another date for the fair, as nearly every exhibit for ten years has been interfered with by the rain. General Foreman Killed. Washington, Ind., Sept. 18—G. C. Summers, general foreman at the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroad shops, was killed here bfring run over by a switch engine.
