It is the one who never shirks duty, and is cool, collected and brave when necessity demands, that is deserving words of praise and commendation. Officer Fisher has proven the mettle that is in him. He is a brave and courageous officer, aud performs his duty well. M. M. Dunlap is a congressional candidate, and there will be some “doings” in republican circles. He has many warm personal and political friends who believe he will win the nomination. The contest is now on and the Dunlapites will not eease until the vote is counted. The Cromerites will contest every inch of ground in this county with Mr. Dunlap.—Anderson News. The opening of the Great North ern Indiana Fair is auspicious from every point of view.

IN THE RACE. M. M. Dunlap of Anderson, a Candidate. Interest in the Republican Con* Sessional Race is Thus Stunted. M. M. Dunlap of Anderson, is now an avowed candidate for congress and made his official announcement in the Anderson newspapers Monday. This is a fine district. ana men ca nnot be blamed for wanting the honor of representing it in congress. It jhas the largest voting population of any district in rhe United States. There will be at least four candidates, and may be more. They are Theodore Shockney of Randolph, George W. Cromer of Deleware, M M. Dunlap of Madison, and either Frank Snyder or Jesse LaFollett of Jay. The counties in the last convention had these votes: Adams 8, Jay 23, Wells 12. Randolph 34. Deleware 59, Madison 66—total 202. Necessary to a choice 102 or 103. In the last convention Cromer had the solid votes of Adams, Jay, Wells and Deleware. Dunlap had Madison and Shockney had Randolph. The latter two counties combined have within two or three votes of a nomination. Mr. Cromer is strongly intrenched with the machines in five counties. The Madison county republican machine is for Dunlap. The latter will carry the fight into every nook and corner of the district. He is an eloquent orator, genial and a hale fallow well met. He has many friends throughout the district. His Anderson friends think he is a sure winner, and will tear the sod up for him. There will be the hottest republican fight thi' time ever made in this district for the nomination. It will be the field against Cromer. Lost New five dollar bill. Return to this office.

IS WONDERFUL A Musical Invention That Causes Wonder. The most marvelous of all musical instruments, is the Humanatone which will be on exhibition at Stoneburners’s piano exhibit at the Fair Grounds in the Art Hall during the week. This tiny instrument reminds one of a small piece of brass all twisted out of shape. The beautiful mellow notes eminating from this small musical device causes the crowds to look on in wonder. The people of Decatur will appreciate the efforts of the Stoneburner Piano House in securing such a valuable attraction to their display. Mr. Kendal, an expert from New * i York City will give demonstrations i ; during the week at the Fair Ground 1 and will teach any child 6 years of | ! age to play the most beautiful selec-! tion upon the Humanatone in five ! | minutes time. So simple is the in-1 strument that all one has to do is to ' place it to the lips—think of some I selection you wish to play. This marvelous instrument immediately play the selection itself. The Humanatone is rapidly becoming the society fad as it requires no practice to play it—and is most truly the most marvelous musical instrument ■ ever invented. OPENING DAY.
