HE LLER, M anagbr. z Massachusetts democrats have start eJ what purports to be a real live' boom for Hon. Richard Olney for president. Such an announcement will meet with general favor among the Indiana democrats who already have quite an exalted opinion of the Massachusetts statesman. ■ Now that Adams county has a can didate for congress let every onel hump for his success. This is the kind of home pride that speaks so well for our city and for our county, and it is the same kind of home pride that will make his success possible. -With the aid of every Adams county republican Candidate Quinn mav become in reality the candidate of his party for congress in this district. Senator Gorman's speech in Mary land yesterday, in which he so severely attacked President Roosevelt on the negro question, is regarded bv the; leaders of both parties in Washington as a pace-maker for the democratic' national campaign next year. President Roosevelt's closest personal and political friends regard it as the beginning of the execution of a plan to make the race problem a great issue against the republicans. The demo crats, too, accept Gorman's attack with no attempt to conceal their delight and all appear to welcome the issue. —————— The disagreement between Russia and Japan and the utter breakdown of the much-heralded "open door" i in Manchuria has alarmed the export merchants of the United States, and they have sounded a note of ■warning to President Roosevelt and ‘ the republican leaders, that instead of aiding the enlargement of our I business in Asia, they have virtually closed the door that was at least partly open. That Russia will ever withdraw from Manchuria is not within the realm of probability, she owes the railroads and the banks there: the Chinese authorities are subservient to the Russian representatives : in a word, Manchuria is .Russianized. The boast of the administration that the treaty just concluded wit China gives us two • open ports in that country is therefore. worthless, unless Russia opens their door-., for she has the key to both of them.

STEPHEN B. FLEMING MAY RETIRE SOON

Indianapolis. Oct. 2". —It is reported in business circles that Senator Stephen B. Fleming of Fort Wayne is about to retir- from active politics in Indiana. It is understood that he has accepted a tine position with a box-board company that will take him to New York tor perman at residence. When the last legislature adjourned Fiumlag announced that he would nut participate in politics again, but it was hardly believed that he meant to retire. He was becoming; one of the leaders of his party, being noted in the legislative halls for his untiring energy and shrewdness. His removal from the game would be a serious blow to the liquor interests, as he was the leader of the movement in the senate to repeal the blanket remonstrance clause of the Nicholson law. and he announced that the liquor forces would come to the next legislature prepared to make a winning tight. Fleming was defeated last year for the chairmanship of the Democratic state committee. Charles S. Hernly of Newcastle, former chairman of the Republican state committee. has been heard from. He is the publisher of a paper at Newcastle, which has the following editorial comment anent the fight for control of the Republican state committee: •'There Is no opposition to Senator Beveridge in Indiana. Therefore, why , not let him have an organization of the state committee to his liking, provided the party is io be organized for the individual and not for the people?” The comment admits of more than one construction but It is r<-rrded as an indi alien tnat he Is opposed to t .ulrol by de.....01 „'veil ,3.

The republican party has played many farce comedies in its time, but it never undertook to stage a more farcical farce comedy than that made up of the present series of “investigations” of official crookedness at Washington If it were not so serious a matter it would appeal to the American sense of humor, but the situation is so big with possibilities of national shame that decent citizens everywhere are filled with disgust and anger.— Sentinel. Louis Ludlow by far the brightest and most accomplished writer on any Indianapolis newspaper, has changed his base and will represent the Indianapolis Star as their Washington correspondent. For several years Mr. Ludlow has been the most attractive feature of the Sentinel, and for political reasons, we regret the change. However, it is the sacred duty for him to protect his own scalp, so we wish him well. Some day you will hear of Lous Ludlow occupying an exalted position in the journalistic Geld, and then Walter Wellman, William E. Curtis and the rest of the boys will be so ancient and rusty that you will cut their acquaintances. GOT SETTLEMENT. Beery & Holthouse Paid by Railway Company. About two months ago the firm of Beery & Holthouse had a sale o Western horses to lie held at Fort Wayne and the sale was delayed a day on account of the nonarrival of horses. The horses had been shipped from'’ Montana over the Burlington Route and cause of delay was not known. Beery & Holthouse immediately demanded payment for damages in the sum of |260 for the delay which the company refused to jiay but yesterday while m Chicago Dan Beery called at headquarters and settled the case in five minutes for $lB5. FELL FROM TREE. John Chr’sten Luckily Escaped Injury. John Christen this morning was probably the most thankful man in Decatur, that the injuries he received yesterday afternoon are no more serious than they are. He had cilmbed a tree to pick apples when he got too far out on the limb, it snapped off throwing him heavily to the ground and giving him a number of body bruises. Mr. Christen is rather an old man and at his age it is a wonder he was not seriously hurt. The accident occurred at his home on Tenth street.

John Mitchell, president of the mine workers, left here today for Scranton, Pa., to attend the “Mitchell Day" celebration Saturday. The greatest celebration in the history of the anthracite coal fi Ids is expected. Mitchell will be the principal speaker and he will receive a tremendous ovation, it may be mentioned in this connection that Mitchell is the only labor leader so honored by his followers. Mitchell Day has become an annual event among the min rs of the entire country. and in nearly every part of the field it will be observed with more than usual enthusiasm this year. It may be remarked that fifteen years ago Mitchell was digging coal himself in the mines at Spring Valley. 111., but he must have been laying .he foundation then for his remarkable career as a labor leader. Auditor David E. Sherrick intends to conduct a relentless war on wildcat insurance, banking and building and loan concerns. He thinks they should be driven from the state forthwith, and he and bis experts are making a wide investigation. They have already caused one company, the Homestead Loan and Investment company, to be thrown into the hands of a receiver. Sherrick says he can look with composure on the speculation in Wall street, for people who speculate there are supposed to know their own business. but he don't like to see thousands of laboring mon robbed by get-rich-quick concerns that find the laboring men easy prey. Fortner Auditor Hart •carted the movement against the wildcat companies, and Sherrick intends to get after them even more vigorously.'

A FRANCHISE. Ohio City to Have Electric Lights. E. D. Beeler Figuring on Such a Franchise at Ohio City. E. D. Beeler of this city Jproposes to furnish Ohio City with electric lights, providing the town council there see fit to grant a franchise which contains provisions suitable for such an enterprise. The matter was first presented to the council at a meeting held a few days ago, but nothing has been done toward having a franchise voted him. This will likely be taken up at an early date, especially if the council and citizens generally are favorable to mote and better light. The usual provisions of such a franchise is what Mr. Beeler will ask of the town authorities, and it is likely that they will see their way clear to place him in possession of the proper authority to produce this light. It would certainly add much to the appearance of Ohio City as well as the comfort of those residing there, to have this new addition as proposed by Mr. Beeler, electric light is not a luxury but a necessity in this period of time, and they had better gobble up the opportunity presented at this time. GOOD SERVICES. Interest Increasing at the Presbyterian Church. Rev. S. S. Aikman, preached a sermon of exceeding preciausness to power last evening at the Presbyterian church. The meetings are increasing in interest. A number have united and this number promises to greatly increase before the week closes. Remember services will be held every afternoon and evening this week. SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH. Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and Be Cured. If a few years ago some one had said you can cure catarrh by breathing air charged with a healing balsam. the idea would have been ridiculed and it remained for that eminent investigator, R T. Booth, to discover in Hyomei this method of cure. Hyomei has performed almost miraculous cures of catarrh, and is today recognized by leading members of the medical profession as the only advertised remedy that can lie relied upon to do [just what it claims. The complete outfit of Hyomei costs but SI.OO and consists of an inhaler, a medicine drop per and a bottle of Hyomei. Breath Hyomei through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a d«y and it will cure the worst case of catarrh. It soothes and heals the mucous membrane of the air passages. prevents irritation, and effects a complete and lasting cure. In Decatur there are scores of well known people who say they have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure yon the Holthouse Drug Co., will return you the money juiid for Hyomei. This is the strongest evidence that can be offered as to their faith in the remedy. Kratz Will Fight Extradition. Guadalajara. Mex., Oct. 27. —Charles Kratz has been refused ball.
