The reorganization of the Indianapolis Sentinel has not been announced. and it is thought that a re seiver will lx* appointed until a salt* is made. The hope of the administration to settle their many scandals before congress meets, has been abandoned. Some of the g. o. n. leaders now favor a congressional investigation, in the hope this attitude may satisfy those who are loud in their clamor for an investigation. Many of the party leaders fear a revolt in the national campaign next year, owing to so much official crookedness. Candidate Quinn is arranging to make a square contest for the nomination to congress. This he can do with the united and unanimous support of his party at home. If Mr. Quinn is real smart, however, he will see to it that the personal of his delegation is not made up of those who are red hot for him now, but whose sentiments are likely to materially change after their selection. Politics is a slipjiery critter, in which there are usually schemes on top of schemes. This is a case wherein it will be necessary for Mr. Quinn to know his men, and to know they are with him for all time to come. Tuesday of next week a number of states will hold elections for governor and other state officers. In only two or three of these states is there much interest developed in the pending campaign. These are Maryland. Ohio and Rhode Island. In Marvland Senator Gorman’s presidential prospects are considered in issue. In Ohio the main point involved is the re election of Marcus A. Hanna to the senate. A year ago Rhode Island rather unexpectedly elected a democratic governor, and the republicans are making quite an effort to prevent a repetition of that performance. In the state of New York popular interest is centered in the municipal contest in the great city. The race is said to be an even one. both sides laying claims to certain victory. In the state at large the republicans are aiming to increase their majority in the general assembly. South Bend Times.

A STOCK COMPANY IS PROBABLE

Indianapolis, Oct. 28.—There is still , much gossip regarding the future of the Democratic organ owned and edit •ed so long by the late Samuel E. Morss, but no one seems to know exK actly what is to be done. It is be-I lieved that it will be put into the hands of a receiver until the affairs can be straightened out. Report has it that T. Taggart. J. Oscar Henderson and other Democratic leaders who are figuring on organizing a stock company to take it over have adviser! those in charge to take this course so that more time will be given for the organization of a stuck company. While the affairs of the paper seem to be chaotic, it may be stated with authority that the Deiuuciata will not be without a ■tabpaper in the coming campaign. It Is rumored that a conference is going on at French Lick that may have considerable bearing on the Republi- j can state committee. The conferees are said to be Joe Kealing. Unitedl States district attorney; Harry C. Starr of Richmond, member of the executive committee of the Republican state committee, and Floyd Woods of Indianapolis. Seventh district committeeman. It may be they have met there by chance, but it is rumored that Chairman Goodrich declined an Invitation to be present. Kealing. it Is understood. Is for the re-election of Wood in this district. The trio are for Goodrich for state chairman again. As • Kealing and Starr have ha<l a strong hand in making up the organization for several years wh< never they are together. It Is quite natural that the newspaper boys should begin to speculate as to what political moves they are contemplatipg. » Great prrpartUon* are being mado for the annual football gams between ' Pursue and Indi: r.a here Saturday »r., 1

Now comes the announcement that that Hon. P. L. Andrews, of this city, is considering his prospects as a canI didate for congress agaiust the present Congressman Cromer. As this is a free country and as Mr. Andrews i possesses the qualities of a congressman, there is every reason to encour age such ambition. He is well known and identified among his party and in the district and ought to make a favorable impression with his candidacy. Os course Adams county can not support two condidates with any degree of success, and if the anti-Cromer contingent expect to succeed they must spend their time now in capturing the county organization. After that they may exert their candidacies with better hopes of success. The Frysinger forces are working a deep and well laid game to give this county delegation to Cromer, and while the anti’s are busy with the congressional candidacies the Cromerites are fixing the slates for the organization contest. While the Democrat can not be other than a specator to this contest, yet we feel that the present duty of every republican is to organize for an anti Cromer delegation to the next congressional convention. It is the only hopes of electing an Adams county candidate, as a divided delegation means defeat. A square-toed antiCromer delegation may do business at this convention, who knows? DOING FINE.

ternoon. Governor Durbin and Mayor ■Holtzman will be guests of honor. The presidents of the two universities will also be on hand to watch the play. Indiana and Purdue have been old-time rivals, so the game will be for blood. Purdue has made the best showing this season and should win on form, but Indiana has a sturdy lot that has been improving steadily of late. There will be special trains from both colleges. and it is quite likely that there will be six or seven thousand people at the game. It will not decide the championship of Indiana, however, as Notre Dame has not been played, and last year the Catholic youths carried away the honors, aud from all Indications they are strong enough to do it again. A local paper hns taken the trouble to get reports from various counties in the state regarding the corn crop, i The reports summarized are very encouraging. and Indeed there are but few counties where the reports are bad. The indications are for one of i the greatest crops in the history of the state. This Is gratifying indeed 1 in view of the late start much of the corn had and the unfavorable midsummer condition*. It was thought that the crop would be a complete failure. but it seems that all signs fail sometimes. The reports on the growing wheat are also encouraging, as generally it Is up and doing well. But little has been beard lately of the Jefferson League of Indiana, organized about three months ago at the Grand hotel by a number of Democrat* who are known to be very friendly to Bryan and very unfriendly to the socalled reo'ganlzers The league was to have a thorough state organlz3’!"n, but net much has bet n done How ever, it I* a tr fie e*rlv. and ft may show some sign* of life later.

GETTING THICK. Adams Has Multiplicity of Candidates. From Indianapol’s Comes the News That P. L. Andrews May be a Congressional Consideration. Reports from the Eighth district indicate that Repreientative George W. Cromer, of Muncie, will have more opposition for renomination than was expected a few weeks ago. It is announced from Decatur that Andrews, former postmaster of that city, and one of the prominent republicans of Adams county, will be a candidate for the congressional nomination and that his formal announcement may be expected within the near future. His friends point out (hat with an number of candidates in the race a man from one of the smaller counties of the district will stand an excellent chance of winning out. Theodore Shockney, of Union City, is said to l»e looking after his fences in his usual energetic way, while from Jay county comes the word that Frank Snyder may become a canidate.Former Mayor M. M. Dunlap, of Anderson who announced his candidacy some time since is overlooking no opportunities to strengthen his organization and his friends are growing more sanguine every day. In the meanwhile Representative I Cromer is not wasting any time i and it is pointed out that one of I the strongest things in his favor is the multiplicity of candidates.—lndianapolis Journal.

Carter, author and producer of such well known successes as ■ “Eleventh Hour", “The Heart of Chicago" "The Two Little Waifes” | and Alaska’’will be the attraction at the opera house on Tuesday, Nov. 3. In this his latest effort Mr. Carter hus woven a powerful love story and one in which the dramatic into rest grows steadily from the first to the lust act. The stage settings are beautiful and the author’s art is constantly displayed in his manner of employing romatic surroundings for a series of happenings that are both strange and absorbing. “The Darkest Hour" is a very human play, and absolutely distinctive in its plot, while it is written with that charm of st vie which . has already won for its author an enviable pottitlon in the dramatic : world. A capable cast is with the production and brings out the twice told story in a clever, energetic and dramatic style. COL COPELAND COMING. The large posters are being placed for Col. Conpeland lecture which <X!curs next Monday evening. All who want “Ncc The Elephant” will be on hand. The tickets are being delivered out and reserved seats tt ill be drawn Monday.

I Hereford Cattle FOR SALE IN account of settling up the estate, i (~) will offer at Private sale, any, or all of the Fine Herd of Hereford Cattle, so well known as the Naber-Lea Herd. Every animal will be priced, from the imported cows, down to male calves, at prices that will dispose of the herd in thirty days. Here is a rare opportunity of getting a start in full-blooded, registered cattle, at low prices. . Read the Chicago papers, and see how often Hereford s eers top the market, around six cents, while the great bulk of cattle sell at about four and a half cents . These steers are sired by Hereford bulls. There is a great demand for these bulls bv farmers who want to improve their calves. Somebody must raise full-blooded bulls. Why not you? Aon can sell a 12-moiiths-old bull calf for as much as a 3-year-old steer vvouid bring. Why not save two years of feed and care ? Start your son out with a few cows, and you will be surprised how soon the herd will be worth $5,000. Come and spend a day and night with me and take your time to it. This is better than buying at a combination sale. If you have idle money, and some shed room, be sure to winter some of these cattle. Plenty of time given on good notes. TXSW' I will meet von at TREATY 6 miles south of \\ ABASH, INDIANA, on BIG FOUR R'Y, if you will let me know. C. M. [NABER, Executor, Rural Route No. 4, Wabash, Indiana.
