There will be a meeting of the Adame County Central Committee at Decatur, Saturday, November 28,1903, at 9 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of arranging time for holding the Democratic Primary Election, and to transact sueh other business that may come before the committee. J. W. McKean, Chairman. The really significant fact of Tuesday’s elections, considered fro-n a ■national point of view, is the gain pf one Democratic United States senator —in Maryland. For this gain the party is indebted to Arthur _P. Gorman.—South Bend Times. Mark Hanna made his first political] speech at Canal Dover, Ohio, during the senatorial campaign of •1897. The senator has passed through all the stages of platform work, until now he calls “eether' ’ eyether" with the composure and assurance displayed by the most accomplished orator of the day.— Fairmount News. It would be interesting to hear some of those fellows who believed the republican administration brought about seven cent hogs and six cent cattle explain why hogs have dropped to four cents and cattle to two or three cents under the same administration that was credi ed with bringing about the high prices. They live in every neighborhood and it may be that your neighbor was one of the fellows who talked such nonsense. Ask him about it now and have him explain the situation, if he can.— Columbia City Post. _____________ Amusements. “At Cripple Creek’’ a picturesque and stirring drama of life in the heart of the J Roc keys in the early eighties, will be produced at the | Bosse opera house, Wednesday.

Mr. Reid is ' specially tort unate to have his new play interpreted by a company of capable actors.

INDIANAPOLIS WARS WORTHLESS BLACKS

Indianapolis, Nov. 7. —The bad ne- 1 (roes are getting their ’’bumps” at the hands of the present city administration. The police, it seems, have received instructions from so*ne secret 1 ■ource to go right after ail negroe < ■who are not tmergetic enough to work I for a living. As there is a large per cent here that won’t work under any circumstances, the police have taken a large contract, yet they are rapidly driving the worthless blacks from tho city. It Is said that whenever a policeman runs Into a crowd of negro loafers <m Indiana avenue he asks them where they are working, and if they cannot give a satisfactory explanation they have to ’’dig out.” Strang*' to say. the majority of the negroes of the city seem to be heartily in favor of the plan. Under the last administration Indianapolis was a Mecca for bad negroes, but things are , changing, and It would not be surprising If they should begin to shun this city just as cordially as they sought ft. Arrangements are being made at j the headquarters in the Stevenson building for the annual wage conference of the United Mine Workers of America. It will be held in Tomlinson hall and will probably bo the greatest gathering In the history of organized labor, ss there will ho over 1.200 delegates. The miners will meet Jan. IR and will be In scnslon until the 2Rth. preparing the demands t’tey will submit when the Joint conferen-e with the onerators besilus. This Is set for

IN FL’LL FORCE. Traveling Men Are Plentiful at This Season. This is the season of the year when traveling men are more numerous than at any other time and the hotels and dray lines are reaping their harvest. Clothing salesmen are now out selling spring goods and as each man carries from five to fourteen sample trunks it will be readily seen -hat the local transfer line will have something to do. There are no less than a a half dozen salesmen who will call on the same merchant in Decatur and fas each has ’ his own houses to buy from there are many times that many clothing men who come to this city. Besides the clothing salesmen there are many other knights of the grip who make their trips during this season and all of these carry as much baggage as the clothing men. The railroads also reap benefits as a considerable amount of excess is collected from the men who travel with so much baggage. HAS BAD EYE. Huber Devoss Prevented From Making Eastern Trip. Huber DeVoss who was to make the trip to Pittsburg. Penn., tomorrow with a car load of horses belonging to Elmer Johnson where he holds his regular monthly sale, will be unable to go owing to the fact that the doctor has advised him to take good care of bis left eye which is badly inflamed and on which an abeess is forming or he may lose the sight thereof. Huber is greatly disappointed as this would have been his first trip to the dirty city and he was expecting to take in the sights in good style. DRAMATIC CLUB. Newly Organized Association Will Present a Play. The High school Dramatic Club is a new social organization which held the first meeting recently with Mrs. Mill H. Lyman at her home on north Fifth street. The club is contemplating the presentation of a play at Bosse's opera house in the near future for the benefit of the Rathbone Sisters. Tuesday was the eighteenth birthday of Andrew Weaker, and a number of his friends gathered at his home southeast of the city Tuesday evening to help him celebrate. The evening was spent in music and games and taffy pulling. Refreshments wore served. Ata late hour they all departed wishing him many more such happy occasions and his birthday to hurry l>ack.

At the convention here a year ago the miners secured an advance equivalent to 20 per cent. They will probably ask for an advance of in per rent, but it is very likely that their efforts will he largely bent to secure a betterment in the conditions of labor President Mitchel] will preside over the convention. He is now in the Ea*:t. W. B. Wilson, secretary-treas-urer of the organization, said today there is nothing In the newspaper stories that Mitchell has appendicitis. John W Holtzman, the Democratic mayor, is not light-hearted as of yore. He does not look so free of care. Ho Is smlliuK broadly of course, as he is still receiving congratulations by the score. He is the first Democrat in Indiana who has won a big victory in Indiana for some time, so he has a right to smile. Yet Holtzman Is beginning to admit that his new place Is not easy to fill. He has been pulled and hauled night end day for the last month by politicians who want positions. He said today that he has about made all the appointments he will have, and he is heartily glad of It, as he will now have a chance to rest. Holtzman has made a start that Is pleasing to the beat citizens In Indianapolis. nnd If he keeps right ahead he will he a hard man for the Republicans to oust. The gamblers and saloon men. as a matter of course, are sne-y but he l« only Insisting that they obey the law.

Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe, Kills the Germs and Cures the Disease. Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly and permanently, because it reaches the smallest air cells in the head, throat and lungs, kills the germs causing the disease and drives it from the system. Hyomei goes to the root of the disease, destroys the cause, and makes permanent cures which can be affected in no other way. Breathe it for a few minutes four times a day and benefit will be seen at once. Continue this treatment for a few weeks and Hyomei will have cured you. The Hyomei breathed through the neat vest pocket inhaler furnished with each outfit mingles with the air you breathe. It is a local and direct treatment for eradicating all catarrh germs in the mucous membrane and tissues, and in this way cures catarrh in any part of the system. Used in connection with Hyomei it has lieen successful in curing the worst and most deepseated cases of catarrah deafness. The complete Hyomei outfit costs ♦ 1.00 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime; and additional bottles of Hyome- can be obtained for 50c. Stronger than any claims that can be made in an advertisement, is the fact that the Holthouse Drug Co. will give their personal guarantee with every Hyomei outfit they sell; to refund the money if the purchaser can say that Hyomei has not given satisfaction.

Nov. 7. —The circuit court last evening granted a new trial to Michael Schiller, now In the Ohio penitentiary under sentence to be electrocuted Nov. 10 for the murder of his wife, because the court below. in instructing the jury neglected to say that a recommendation for mercy would mean life Imprisonment without hope of pardon.

THE WHOLE THUG Minister Powell At San Domingo Takes Things Into His Own Hands. He Does Not Hesitate to Tell the Obstreperous Dominicans Just Where to Get Off At. Threatened Blockade of the Ports Was Prevented by Powell’s Prompt Action. San Domingo, Nov. 7. —A Dominican warship stopped the Clyde line steamer Cherokee as It was nearing Puerto Plata and informed the captain that he could not enter that port. The Cherokee then proceeded for Samana and was prevented from entering that port, the minister of war ordering the captain of the Cherokee to proceed to the capital. On the arrival of the ves 8-1 here the government demanded that the cargo intended for Puerto Plata and Samana be landed at this port The agent of the company and the captain of the Cherokee refused

to comply with this demand and appealed to United States Minister Powell for protection. Minister Powell called on the president and argued that since the government of Santo Domingo had not advised the foreign legations of any blockade, it could not prevent the Cherokee from entering the ports of Puerto Plata and Samana. and insisted that the cargo should be landed at its destination. The president in reply reiterated his demand that the Cherokee's cargo be landed at San Domingo, but this Minister Powell refused to permit and declared he would hold the government responsible should any violent action be rdopted tojvard the Cherokee. When the Cherokee was ready to leave for Azua. clearance papers were refused, and ft was again demanded that she land her cargo at this port. Minister Powell wrote a sharp note to the government demanding a permit for the Cherokee to depart. The government refused to allow a pilot to board the vessel, and Minister Powell then Instructed Captain Archibald to take his ship out and to proceed for Azua. keeping his cargo aboard and landing it at the ports of destination. The energetic action of Minister Powell has caused great excitement, especially as his proceeding lacked the support of an American warship. The Cherokee left the harbor without a pilot. The city is quiet, but preparations looking to its defense are in active progress. Wouldn’t Let Jiminez Land. Capo Haytien. Hayti, Nov 7.- pup revolutionary leaders.
