'————• It is now announced that George I B McCollough is to invade South Bend, where he will establish a morning paper. The Blufiton Banner now boasts of a cartoonist who will do special feature work on that paper. The | addition will be a good one as long as it lasts, but if the son-of-gun has any merit we advise the Banner man to draw up an iron-clad eon tract, and supplement the same with a good stout rope. Shafe Petersou is out in a column of miscellaneous mixtures, which is supposed to be a defense of himself and of William Sheets and his inno cent looking electric light franchise. After several attempts at dissection about the only point scored, was that no one was hurt. This is the best argument to his side of the case. The skull and cross tones articles sent out to the metropolitan press about the narrow escape from death of our own Congressman Cromer, is a visionary example of newspaper stunting. Not a hair was missing, and the clash of vehicles was nor even exciting enough to set the nerves on end. His campaign for a renomination will take no relapse. Old papers for sale at this office.

REPUBLICANS IN DESPERATE STRAITS

inatanapolis. Sept. 29. —The report ! that the Republican ring here has appealed to the Hoosiers in office at Washington tor financial aid shows the desperate position of the Republi can ticket. With the prospect of defeat staring them in the fa<-e because of the revolt of the party against the present conditions of city government, the ring leaders are willing to resort to almost any sort of a political trick to win out. They have a big campaign fund now. but it is probable that the ring has already found out I that it is not nearly large enough. It needs but a bare statement of the, facts to show which side represents the decent element of the city For 1 the first time in the history of Indianapolis, all the brewers are for one candidate —Bookwaiter. Always before the brewers have been divided.; The Republican leaders seem to take pride in saying that every saloon man and gambler In the city Is for the tick «L It is a fact that the saloon keepers gamblers and thugs are all for the present administration crowd, so it is not difficult to sec why the better element of the Republicans want to join with the Democrats in obtaining! a now deal In city affairs. D. M. Parry, president of the Na tlonal Association of Manufacturers, who has returned from a meeting of the executive committee of his organ ization. says he is going to immediate-| ly Investigate the silly story that there Is a plot here to make trouble' for his employes because they don't belong to the union During his ab senre one of his men was stabbed I and another lost his life a* the result, of a fight. Immediately the report flashed throughout the country that Parry's men were being killed becausel they did not belong to the union The man who was stabbed was Injured in a fight over a discussion of union la- j hoe principles, but the man who stabbed him was a non unionist.

It is only fair tn state on behalf of the union labor of Indianapolis that thus fat there has been no effort to persecute the employes of the Parry factory in a brutal way because they are non : unionists. If confidence counts for anything i the men wno are backing the iude I pendent campaign here ought to win I Charles W.

But i today we nave Hitz elected if we can Just keep him that way."

' WORLD’S FAIR. Administration Building a Beauty. It is the Principle Structure of Eleven New Buildings Known as the Washington University Group. The administration building at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, is the principal structure of eleven new buildings known as the Washington

University group, which is to be the permanent home of the university after the close of the exposition. All are in the Tudor Gothic style of architecture as exemplified in the college buildings of England of the '■ time of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth. The, Administration Building is 325 by 118 feet, and has in the center a massive tower 77 feet high, topped by four octagon towers one at each corner The doorway iin the tower is a magnificent arch. The facade on the tower -is elab- | orately conamented with canopied niches and with strong courses on ' which appear the heraldic shield I bearing the university coat of! arms. In front of the entance is a terrace 50 by 264 feet and leading , up to the terrace are steps of cut - granite 35 feet wide. The building I is of pink Missouri granite with Bedford (Indiana) limestone trimmings. cost <250,000 and is fireproof throughout. President Francis and Secretary Stevens have offices in j the building and so has the National Commission. The Board of Lady \ Managers and the Missouri Commis- ' sion will also be located there until I their respective buildings are oom-1 I pleted. The Division of Exhibits i and division of Exploitation take up a large jjart of the building and I the department of concessions occupies one of the big office rooms. ' The rooms of two large buildings J adjoining, Rnsch building and Cnp- ' les building No. 1, are also used for , the administration work of the Exposition. I Amusements. " Unc te Tom's Cabin " never grows old. There runs through it a vein . of pathos peculiarly touching and sweet. It speaks'the universal language of the heart. It reflects like a prism the innermost phases of human memoration. It is more than » play. It is a moral classic. It t argues for two of the greatest • themes that cun engage the mind ■ human liberty and the immorality s of tne soul. Notwithstanding its , frequent production, it is seldom ' that one sees the play as it is now ' presented by Palmer’s colossial c spectacular company. It is like f , m eting an old friend after many 1 years. The management doubtless i bdieves in the maxim, t “ What’s worth doing is worth doing well." , They have brought together in this i production all the requisites that go to make up a first class entertain- ■ merit.
