The Willshire Herald is located in new quarters, which are larger and more in keeping with the progressive spirit which predominates at the Herald sanctum. The Herald is a good paper and deserves the best that is going. Both the Cromer and anti-Cromer organizations are working over time, with a view of capturing the organization in this county. As the selec tion of delegates to the next republi can congressional convention dep 'tids largely upon the character of the county organization, the import ance of the business at hand will be seen at a glance. The contest will be red hot before the finish. The future of the Indiana]x>lis Sentinel is not so dismal as as first depicted, and its reorganization along progressive lines seem possible. This will not be accomplished before early next week, but that it will be done we have no doubt. This is cheering news to the army of Indiana democrats who are always loyal to the principles of their party, and as equally loyal to their jxirty newspajaT. The suggestion of the mime of the Hon. Barton AV. Quinn as a candidate for the nomination for congress in this district, has been freely commented on since the announcement appeared in print. In an interview Mr. Quinn was non-committal, so •we take it for granted that the connecting of his name with that of the promised congressional race is entirely acceptable. It is certainly an honorable ambition and likewise an honor to lie classed among those as suitable to occupy such a place of distinction. Mr. Quinn has always occupied a prominent position among the leaders of his party, both in the county and district, and has many friends of prominence and activity who would no doubt like to see him on his way to congress as the republican candidate in the eighth congressional district. It is now time for Mr Cromer to look well to his laurels. Secure your ticket early and avoid the rush to see ‘ Kathleen Mavour leen" as presented by the C. Y. M. 8. Club at Bosse’s opera house.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS LOOKING FOR A LEADER

mdianapclls. Oct. 23. —There are unmistakable signs that the Democratic lea lers are beginning to look around for a good man for the head of the ticket next year. The talk of Mayor Holtzman of this city has met with some favor, which is natural, inasmuch as he has just been elected In a bruising light. However, he has won no spurs In state politics. The suggestion of Secretary Riley of the Democratic state committee of Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton, is liable to meet with more favor. A number nf party leaders who were dlscussmg the prospects here today declared that Dougherty would be an admirable candidate. It is not very likely, however, that he could be Induced to enter the race The group dwelt with particular fondness on the suggestion of Major Menzies of .Mount Vernon for governor He is a strong man in his party. * powerful speaker, widely known and very popular. His name has been mentioned before in the list of prospective nominees, but he lias never said he would care for the nomination. However, ho Is seriously considered, and the fact that the Democratic leaders are beginning to consider such matters shows tha’ thoughts are now turned toward preparation* for the opening of the next athte campaign. The fight for control of the Republican state committee seems to be opening in new territory every day. For some time there have be n n rumors • that Klam Neal, postntas.er at Jonesboro. would be a candidate for Eleventh district chairman. It was announced on the .-uthnHt v nt >•»

DITCH SALE. P. Holthouse Ditch to be Sold Monday. The Allottment Shows Twenty-Eight Sections of Twenty-Seven Stations Each. Sureyor McKean has just completed rhe allottment of the famous P. Holthouse ditch, the date of sale of which takes place at the auditor's office next Monday. The allottment shows twenty eight sections and in each section there are twenty seven stations, and from this you cun get some conception of the enormous amount of dirt that will have to lie handled before this ditch will be ready to ]x irform the functions for which it was intended. There is no question but that will be worth its cost in making hundreds of acres of land more valuable. A full description of this water course has been given in these columns and the rocky road it had to travel before it reached a certainty of being constructed. It is now on the road where technicalities of law can not reach it, and if any one can be induced to make the ditch for the estimate of cost as seen and calculated by the engineer and viewers it will lie constructed. The estimate is such that no fears are entertained along this line, and in all probability the cost of construction will lie far below the estimate. Many of those who have to dig down in their breeches pocket to pay for this improvement. will be here Monday to bid on a portion of the ditch. TO HOLD MEETING. People Interested in Elm Street Sewer. All property owners interested in the Elm street sewer are requested to meet at the council rooms at eight o'clock next Monday evening.

his friends today tha’ I.e has decided to enter ti e rate against A-iam Beck of Huntington, who is regarded as the Goodrich candidate. Neal is regarded as the choice of Senator Beveridge and his followers. There will probably be a pretty fight between Beck and Neal. The lat.er will have the advantage if he can start with the solid support of Grant county, as , it is as large as any two counties in L the district. Beck, however, is in of- , flee and that is some help. It is an- • nounced that A. M. Glossbrenner of , ‘ this ' Ity will try to defeat Floyd A. Woods for re-election as chairman of the Seventh district. The fight here promices to become bitter. "T.ibe" Hert. former superintendent of the reformatory at Jeffersonville, whose name has been unpleasantly connected with the investigation of , that institution, was here today. He was as serene as ever and apparently is not losing any sleep over what the . governor's friends are saying about i him.

A VITAL ISSUE Canadians Cannot Get Over the Recent Award. St. John. N. 8., Oct. 23.—The conservative newspapers in eastern Canada say that the Alaska boundary award will become a live issue in the general elections throughout the country. Some of the papers declare that Canadians are to blame for the decision unfavorable to Canada, and they place the responsibility upon the government at Ottawa for permitting the boundary question *o be arbitrated. in view of what is termed the antiCanadian makeup of the commission. Little fault is found with the United States for that country's share in the negotiations, several of the Halifax and St. John newspapers holding that the United States is in no way responsible for the present situation. While most Liberal journals criticise the British government, the opposition press is assailing the Canadian government for accepting the commission as arbitrator. The Conserva tive organ in this city, the Sun. attacks Sir Wilfred Laurier. The talk of Canada becoming an independent country as the result of the award is not regarded seriously in St, John.

MILKS’ EMULSION. This wonderful remedy has accomplished so many remarkable cures since it was first put on the market by Mr. J. E. Milks of Terre Haute, Ind., that we feel in duty bound to bring it to the attention of the public, with the object in view of aiding sick and suffering humanity. This Emulsion is put up in such a palatable form that it is a pleasure to take. Immediate relief results from the taking of the first bottle, and stomach troubles of all kinds readily succumb to this treatment, which draws out the inflammation, kills the germs of disease and cleanses and strengthens the mucous membrane. Colds, coughs, croup and other throat and lung troubles disappear like magic, no matter of how long standing, and feverish conditions are immediately relieved. Where the lungs are affected this remedy operates in such a manner as toenable them to work freely and to contribute pure, life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood. Weak lungs are mostly due to a neglected cough. Only a small percentage of those who have consumption inherit it. and Milks' Emulsion, by opc ating directly and instantaneously, prevents colds which have settled upon the lungs from developing into more serious forms of disease. Constipation, from which arises attendant difficulties of the stomach, bowels and alimentary canal, is absolutely cured for good and all by this prepara, tmn. Thousands of cures have been effected and many of those benefitted have freely given testimonials as to the worth of the Emulsion. These testimonials will be Jem prepaid to those suffering from disease who will write for them to The Milks' Emulsion Company ferre Haute, ind.. or inquire of yo« druggist, who sells the goods.
