The Federal bank of Pittsburg showed the evidence of its prosperity by closing its doors. These events seem to be occurring everyday. It is alreadv evident that Senator Smoot, the Utah Morman, will not be molested to any serious degree in holding down his senatorial toga. The senatar is an official of the Mor mon church and as such is accused of giving at least his moral support to polygamy, and it is upon this point a contest of his seat in the United States senate is based.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMANSHIP TALKS

Indianapolis, 0< t. 21. —Immediately after the close of the campaign here last week someone suggested Jim Kea< h for chairman of the Democratic state committee. He did such good work at the head of the city committee that it was but natural that the suggestion should receive consideration. but It has traveled with surprising rapidity and is being well received by party papers. The Fort Wayne Sentinel, a leading Democratic paper of the northern part of the state, makes the following comment, which is a fair sample of what is being said: "Mr. Reach certainly performed great things as city chairman of his party in Ini' '.napolis, but his attitude in the Bryan campaigns may be strongly urged as an objection to him as state chairman. Though if the Democrats of Indiana are to accomplish anything probably such matters will be the better for being forgotten. Mr. Keach seems to be the kind of man to be kept at work. There is no good reason why the Hon. W. H. I O’Brien, present Democratic state i chairman, should be displaced, but there is some prospect that .Mr. O’Brien may be the Democratic candidate for governor, in which event a successor would be necessary.” City Chairman Keach is not so dense to praise that he is indifferent to the genera] reception of his name in connection with the Democratic state chairmanship, but it is hardly possible he will be a candidate. He has a great business of his own. and it is the understanding that he wants to spend his time looking after it. However, his election to the chairmanship of the state committee would not be surprising in view of the high regard in which the party has come to i hold him. As far as Senator O’Brien is concerned it is admitted that he made a good chairman, and should he express a desire to re- aln at the I head of the commi’tee it is hardlv I likely that he will be displaced, yet he Is. a verv hi’.--.- man and ft f>

j publican, such a charge is not expected to cut a very large sized chunk of I * ce ' ——————> Amusements. As refreshing as a breeze from , the green hills of a fair country ' j side, dainty in it construction, delightfully simple and true in its story, and acted with exactly’ the proper regard for light and shade, J. C. Nugent's four act pastoral comedy drama, “An Indiana Romance,” which comes to the Bosse opera house, Saturday, Oct. 24 may* justly be said to be one of the most successful dramatic offerings of the present season. It is more or less of a welcome relief to turn from the heterogenuous mass of problems plays, farce comedies and musical offerings with which the ■ public has of late been surfeited to s an American play, dealing with a i delightful phase of American life. . To a certain degree, “An Indiana Romance," is an idyl of middle F western life. The play’ is so true, > so sincere and so tender—so hoinei ly in its characterizations that it apI peals irresistably to all that is good ■ in human nature.

known he sacrificed his own interests in order to accept the chairmanship. He is enjoying a boom tor the nomination for governor, but he has told your correspondent very emphatically that he will not be a candidate. The mists are clearing away for Congressman Charles B. of the Ninth district, and it looks very much now as if he stands a very fine chance of being renominated easily. It was stated some time ago that Fred Sims of Frankfort. Ninth district committeeman. would be a candidate for congress. Then the candidacy of W. W. Mount of Tiptcn was announced. and it looked as if the finish of Landis was in sight. But now comes the report that the talk of Sims was merely a dodge to help Ijuidls and that he has had no definite idea of becoming a candidate. Landis and his frii-L 1. are shrewd enough to realize that if an anti-Ijcadis candidate should be brought out in every county or say in three or four counties, that they might combine and make victorypossible for one of their number, but with no opponent except Mount, although he is a good, strong man, it looks as if lAndis is going to prove a winner. Vice President Tom Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America, who was at the headquarters today, says the coal industry is almost at a standstill throughout the country because of the lack of transportation facilities. Roads everywhere are putting up the plea that they can’t get enough cars. In many fields the mines are only being operatea two or three days a week and many have been shut down altogether. Tliis is indeed discouraging news right at the start of winter. Last winter the coal famine and high prices were attributed largely to the inability of the roads to haul the coal rapidly enough, and it was undoubtedly true so far as they were concerned. But from reports received by the mine workers' officials here, the conditions are no bett r than ’hey were.

This morning she came up street, and having lost her key started back home to see if she , could not find some way’ of getting ! into the house and in walking around her home trying to get in a window she stepped back into an ' opening made to throw coal in the | cellar and fell to the bottom sustainI ing a number of bad bruises but I nothing more serious.

THAT EXPLOSION. People Awakened by an Early Blast. At least a dozen people have 1 i spoken to us today of a terrible ex- i plosion heard at 5:30 this morning and it was the general (belief that some terrible accident had occnred some where near. However dili-1 gent inquiry has failed to disclose any particulars and we are led to believe that the report was caused by an extra heavy blast at the stone quarry. Making Display.
