INDIANA DEMOCRATS HAVE CAUSE FOR ELATION

Indianapolis. Nov. 13.—The Democrats of Indiana are highly elated over present conditions and prospects in the state. The feeling of depression that has overhung the party for several years is gradually being lifted and the party leaders are being instilled with a new hope that has of late brought forth sine rosy predictions as to what the future has in store for the followers of Jackson in this state. They are beginning to put on a bold front, and assertions that Indiana will next year leave the column of Republican states are sc positive that the hearer is almost led to believe that they really believe that their predictions will come true. The reorganization of the Sentinel with Tom Taggart at its head is one of the leading factors in this ewakening. Taggart s reputation for doing things has inspired confidence. and it is predicted that he will again restore the organ to Its oldtime usefulness. The objection to the Sentinel remaining in the afternoon field, at no time very serious, has about all disappeared. "There is a sentiment all over the \ Eleventh district that a member of congress ought to have a.second term, and for that reason it Is doubtful if |

W. J. Bryan is expanding and is now off for Europe where he will see the sights and spend some of his cash. James E. Watson congressman from the sixth district, now has an opportunity to distinguish himself. By the grace of Speaker Cannon he is a member of the ways and means committee, a place that has distinguished more statesmen than any other place. The Decatur Democrat is of the opinion that President Roosevelt's public utterances do not compare in point of polish with those of his predecessors, Cleveland and McKinley. And yet Theodore Roosevelt is the author of several books, while neither Cleveland nor McKinley attempted anything in that line.—South Bend i Times. Congressman Cromer really controls the organization in but two I counties in the district, Delaware his home county, and Adams. It is at leist predicted by his friends, the enemies, that a repetition of the snap convention of two years ago, will this time refuse to snap. This will at least mean that every candidate will be given a show for his money. The sale of the Indianapolis Sentinel proj>erty has been made to T. Taggart and a party of Indiana demoi erats. This news will be relished by the democrats over the state, who I have been living in mortal fear for some time, praying for the retention t of a democratic newspaper in Indianapolis. Properly managed the Sentinel should be a financial success and a power for good in the promulgation of democratic principals and democratic success. May the light of the Sentinel shine brightly. ________ For Sale—A good sale will sell right.

I there will be any determined effort to' defeat Congressman Fred Landis for a second term,” says an observant commentator on affairs political in that part of the state. ‘’Whether 1 there will be a fight over the congressional nomination depends a great deal on what Major Steele does No one has been able to find out from him what he intends doing. He has kept that secret locked in his own bosom. But it is believed that if the, signs come right that be will make the race again, and if he does he will have the hardest political fight of his life.” The outcome of Governor Durbin's coming pilgrimage to Washington is awaited with interest by the politicians of both parties. His recent letter anent the contests for representation on the state committee has aroused considerable comment, but the fact that he Is going ahead with his announced purpose in the face of advices from Washington that the Republican members of congress have questioned the wisdom of such a I course has renewed the observations that Durbin is a man of his convictions. The belief is gaining ground i that he will soon become an active candidate for the vice presidency.

PRICE IS LOW. Indianapolis Sale Was Not a Sue-1 cess. There was quite a contrast between the auction of registered 1 Hereford cattle at Indianapolis stock yards Tuesday afternoon and those that were held in the fall of 1902, when thousands of dollars were realized for some of the en > tries. Os the forty five transaci Hons the highest sale was <175. i Only thirteen sales were made • above 1100, and from that figure • they ran down to |40 —about what » grade cows are bringing on the open : market. The cow Chloe, bred by I Benton Gabbert, Dearbon, owned by D. E. Studebaker, Warren, Ind., brought the high price. A. R. Havens getting. Mr. Studabaker took a carload of cattle from his Vanßuren farm last week to sell at i the sale. BACK TO CHI'. Dagoes Quit Their Jobs and Hunt Wanner Work. The dagoes who have been at work all summer on the Erie section have packed thier bags of Lima bread and started for Chicago win--1 ter quarters. Their places will be I filled by the workmen who were replaced by the heathens. The ’ transfer from American to Italian I labor was made last spring when 1 labor was worth |1.50 per day and , the railroads limit was little less I than that amount. The foreigners I were glad to take the jobs but since j cold weather has come in sight it . takes an American to brave the ! sharp winds and the company made , room for their old men. The Democrat heralds this departure with j considerable more pleasure than I we did their arrival. EUCHER PARTY. Club Held Regular Meeting Last EvenEvening. The Euchre Club met at the home of Mrs. C. O. France last evening and from the reports of those pres-' ,ent an enjoyable time must have been had. The evening was sjient •in seeing who would be the winner of the prize at euchre and after ■ twelve games had been played and he score finally announced the winner was found to be Mrs. John Heller who won ten games. After the I excitement had subsided over the , winning of the prize and consolation I had been offered to those who had i lost, a fine lunch was served after which all adjourned to meet again one week from next Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Floyd Brittson. GOOD OIL WELL. • Toe Fulton Company Strikes it Rich. Undoubtedly one of the largest oil wells in the history of this county or of any surrounding counties was shot late yesterday afternoon on the farm of A. A. Sprunger, one and one half miles north of Berne. The well was drilled in by the Fulton hardware company of Port|and in a steady flow of two hundred barrels a day. This will beyond a question of doubt turn the attention of the oil magnates in this direction and the field will un questionably be developed north. We may yet see Decatur a great oil center. QUICK RETURNS. Mrs. Andrews Thinks She is Lucky. Mrs. Lewis Andrews lost her pocket book cantaining *21.50 this morning near the Old Adams County Bank. It was found by Charles Kiess of Freidheim and brought to this office. Within a half hour after she had lost her money Mrs. Andrews sent word to this office and the cash was at once returned to her. It is needless to say Mrs. Andrews was very thankful and spared no pains in telling us so.

QUIET WEDDING. A Happy Event in Union Township Ytserday. NV. H. Kolilerwey and Johanna Halls were quietly united in mar riage yesterday at the Blakey church in Union township. The wedding ceremony was solemnized by Rev. Schmiddet and was simple and impressive. Miss Hoile is the accomplished daughter of William Hoile and Mr. Koldcwey is well known throughout this county. After the wedding ceremony a fine supper was served at the home of the bride's father, at which only a few immediate relatives were pres ent. The couple left last evening for Fort Wayne where they will make their future home on 2530 Smith street. Mr. Koldewey is engaged in the carpenter business i there. They were the recipients of a few very fine presents. The! Daily Democrat joins with the rest of the community in wishing them much joy and happiness.
