There will be a meeting of the Adams County Central Committee at Decatur, Saturday, November 28,1903, at 9 o’clock a. tn., for the purpose of arranging time for holding the Demo- | cratic Primary Election, and to trans act such other business that may come| 'before the committee. J. W. McKean, Chairman. The president’s message was read in both houses of congress at its opening at twelve o’clock today. —~— The populists of Indiana are fer ninst fusion, and we join President Roosevelt in a proclamation of thanks for that. The signs of political times I grow brighter. Governor Durbin is again intimating that he is large enough for vicepresident. His intimate acquaintances may perhaps question such a declaration, but there is no denying the fact that Governor Durbin has a very exalted opinion of his own great ness. The scramble for chairman of the republican state committee has succeeded in giving Senator Beveridge. more political strength than he was credited with. Those favoring James ' P. Goodrich for this place are making a mad rush to kiss the feet of the distinguished junior senator. Fred Rohrer's head is swelled to i the size of a limburger cheese. He now imagines that if Cromer was deposed and he had no one to run against him either for the nomination or election, he could be elected to congress. It takes a great head to I figure this out. The Bluffton Banner has installed a linotype and are now setting type in the most improved fashion. The Banner has beien making long strides in the right way, and now the linotype completes their mechanical excellency, and will permit their becoming as metropolitan as they please. We rejoice in their prosperity. The democrats of Indiana are beginning to discuss their party organization for next year’s campaign. The present forecast indicates that the contest will lie game to a finish. The Hon. J. A. M. Adair can no doubt remain at the head of eighth district organization, if he so desires. The usual time for the election of a new state committee is the first week in January.

AFFAIRS OF SENTINEL NOT YET SETTLED

Indianapolis. Nov. 10. —Whether tho Democratic party is to continue to have an organ In the Indianapolis Sentinel Is still unsettled. Affairs have not shaped out satisfactorily yet for the announcement of the transfer of the property to Democratic hands to continue its publication. T Taggart, whose ambition to see the paper continue has brought him to Indianapolis a half dozen times since S. E. Mores’ death has returned to French Lick again. Before leaving Mr. Taggart had no announcement to make. ‘‘When there Is anything to be made public ft will be announced,” he said, and. continuing, he declared that the affair was still In so unsettled a state that no good gnet :;es could be made of the outcome. Aquilla Jones of the flrm of Ayres & Jones, attorneys who represent the Moras Interests in the eonfenncea ever tho future of the paper, Is equally tincommunicative. Mr. Jones says that the matter will be tinder consideration for an indefinite length of time, and that no deal has been made as yet. George F. McCulloch still has his eye on the property and the belief la current that If Taggart's scheme falls through. McCulloch will take the propertv bv settling tho cDlrrr -••’'i.t ft and eomptasating the s'-ic holdv; > for tbsir btereats.

George Sharp Williams will be the minority and democratic leader in congress this year. He is a bright and brilliant man and a debater of the kind that will keep the g. o. p. busy. The reading of the president's i message began in both house and j senate, a few minutes after twelve o’clock. To those who read the messages of a president, and who have become accustomed to the fine display of rhetoric and statesmanship that always displayed themselves in the public documents of both President Cleveland and McKinley, can not help but notice the lack of polish in the public addresses of the present occupant of the white house. Amusements. “At Cripple Creek’’a play of the ■most intense human interest and replete with comedy and novel effects will be presented at the Bosse opera house, Wednesday Nov. 11, ! with the strongest company of actors ever engaged for a melodrama. Hal Reid the well kown American i play-wright is the author of the ' piece and in “At Cripple Creek" is judged by competent critics to have eclipsed all his former efforts. A i wealth of magnificient scenery has been provided and every act is a marvel of ingenuity and beauty. The setting of the third act is particulary effective and discjoses at mine scene of the most striking and weird grandeur. THE PASSION PLAY. Many dramas of historical, literary and moral value have been repeatedly presented to] American audiences with increased interest and atendance. The Passion Play a sacred drama with its peculiar ■ origin enacted in Oberamergan Bovi oria over 250 years ago and repeat--led there by those pious and yet artistically cultured peasants decemially ever since, will be presented at the opera house Friday evening Nov. 13 by means of the marvelous ! life motion pictures, protected from the latest Edison Universal kentescope and origin of this wonderful historical drama will be fully explained.

Tho return of Colonel William R. Holloway to Indianapolis after an absence of more than six years in St. Petersburg, will bring back to Indiana temporarily a man who is widely known. Colopel Holloway Is In the I’nfted States on a leave of absence pending his taking station at Halifax, Nova Scotia, as consul. Col. "Bill” Holloway was at one time postmaster of Indianapolis, and for many years a newspaper man. As the secretary of Mayor Denny during a reform administration and as a dose friend and adviser of General Benjamin Harrison, he became well known among politicians all over Indiana and the United States If It wore not for the Irregularities discovered In the postoffice department during the last summer and tho disposition of most of the Indiana congressmen to avoid postofllce matters, the increase In pay sought by rural free delivery carriers would be assured as far as the Indiana delegation Is concerned.

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 be relied upon to do just what it claims. The complete outfit of Hyomei costs but fl.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 day 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 jieople who say they have l>een cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure you the Holthouse Drug Co., will return you the money ]Htid for Hyomei. This is the strongest evidence that can ls> offered as to their faith in the remedy. Marriage Licenses. William D. Actling to Emma Zwick.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Washington. Nov. 10. —The chief feature of today’s session of congre-s was the reading of the president s message, delivered simultaneously in both houses. The message follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the congress that j it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the com--1 mercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the congress at the last session and subsequently by the Cuban government. I deem such legislation demanded not only by our Interest. but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely em- I barked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the congress of the T’nlted States this government

I — thereby definitely comhiiued itseil to j the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic she should stand in as close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of j international policy: and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the plan by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial poll icy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve lof completion. They are situated so as to prevent any id A a that there is the Intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of
