INDIANA DEMOCRATS FIXING FOR BIG TIME

Indianapolis, Nov. 17.—1 f the Democrats of the state do not have an enthusiastic reunion here at a Jackson ! day banquet in January it will be because the efforts being made by numerous Democrats here are unavailing to arouse the party to the point where a great love feast can be held. When the state committee meets next month a determined effort will be made to have the committee endorse the plan for a banquet. It is the understanding that the Indiana Democratic club here is willing and anxious to undertake | the management of the banquet if the state committee will endorse the plan and name a committee to assist in the preparations. With the plans advanced to this point it seems likely that the committee will take the action desired and that the Jackson day celebration will be assured Arrangements have only been discussed by i the backers of the movement tentatively, but one of their plans is to bring some speaker of national promt- i nence. an Eastern man preferred, to: talk to the Indiana Democrats. Richard Olney, David 11. Hill. Mayor Me- ! Clellan of New York. William R. I Hearst, Senator Gorman and others are mentioned for this honor Democratic leaders here feel that It will be a wt«e move for the party managers to ( take advantage of the present interest , among Democrats which has been aroused by the successes throughout the country to crystallize the sentiment In Indiana. If this is done and Democrats are brought together for a g<ssl old rally they feel that much 1 gcMsi will be accomplished and the campaign will have been given a glorl- 1 out send-off Vnion Banr Hunt nf WtnobMtnr

BIDS OPENED. But Railway Company Have Not Let Contract. The stockholders of the Fort Wayne &■ Springfield Railway company were in session at the general office here today. The principal business was the opening of bids on the electric appliances for the central power houses. The figures are rather complicated and some time will be required to compare same in the necessary manner re- . quired to do business right, the only way this company does it. Consequently the successful bidder cannot yet be announced but will be known by tomorrow. Some other business of the company is also being discussed. Amusements. That funny play, “Side Tracked’’ will again be presented at the opera house, Thursday, Nov. 19. “Side Tracked” is one in a hundred plays launched by theatrical managers which possesses sufficient merit to call out standing room in the same territory year after year. Before the opening of last season the play was thought to tie on the wane but the vast audiences which greeted the company and laughted heartily night after night proved that not even the “wise ones’ could predict tins future..

I is still keeping the people In the dark regarding his intentions of entering i the race for the Republican nomination for governor, and apparently does not intend to take the politicians into his confidence for some time yet. A reporter who tried to smoke .Mr. Hunt, out of his hole yesterday met with a flat failure. "When do you intend to come out of the woods and make your intentions known?" .Mr. Hunt was asked. "Oh. I don't know, it Is nice and shady in among the trees, and I am enjoying myself.”. “Don't you think that if you intend to make a run for | ft that yoti can get along better out In the open country?” "Oh, I can’t say as to that. There are times, you know, when one is safer in the woods. If a man gets out in the open he may get caught, but he is Usually safe as long as he can dodge around a tree.” .Mr. Hunt apparently is still dodging among the trees, and he would not even fix a time when he will be ready to talk. A Lafayette man has written to the World's Fair commission here asking aid In exploiting a perpetual motion machine to be shown at the St. Louis exposition, which he says he has perfected. The man makes a straightforward offer. He asks that a committee of mechanical experts be selected to examine hfs machine and pass on its practicability. If the committee reports against him he will let the matter drop. If, on the other hand, the committee finds that the Inventor really has discovered the secret of perpetual motion, which has been ridiculed by engineers of all ages, the inventor asks that the commission furnish funds to build a large model to be shown as an exhibit from Indiana.

WHAT IS CATARRH ? Hyomei Cures This Common and Disagreeable Disease. Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple method of breathing it into the air passages and lungs. It kills the germs of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane, enters the blood with the oxygen and kills the germs present there, effectually driving this disease from the system. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but |1 and comprises an inhaler, a hottie of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifatime; and additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50c. If you have any of the following symptoms, catarrhal germs are at work somewhere in the mucous membrane of the throat, bronchial tubes or tissues of the lung: offensive breath buskiness of voice dryness of the ncse discharge from nose pain across the eyes stoppage of the nose pain in the back of nt night the head aching of tbe body pain in front of the droppings in throat h**ad month open while tendency to take cold Bleeping burning pain in the tickling back of the throat palate hawking to clear formation of crusts the throat in the nose pain in the chest drvncss of throat in a cough the morning stitch in s’de loss of strength losing of tiesh spasms of coughing variable app ?tite cough short and hacklow spirited at times ing raising of 1 rothy mu- cough worse nights cous and mornings expectorating yellow loss in vital force matter a feeling of tightness difficult breathing across the upper frequent sneezing part of the chest Hyomei will destroy activity of all catarrhal germs in the respiratory organs and in a few weeks the cure will be complete. Tdis is a strong statement, but The Holthouse Drug Co. emphasizes it oy agreeing to refund your money if Hyomei does not cure. Soap, per cake 3c. Racket Store. Clothes Pins, 3% doz sc. Racket Store.

IRELAND’S ANIMALS. Specie* of Proje and Toad* Ar* l-'ouutl In the Green Isle. It is not correct to say that there are no frogs or toads in Ireland, though n is very remarkable that the common toad is not found there. The natterjack toad is a native of Kerry, though it does not appear to be found elsewhere. It is an example of the mania which some people have for meddling with nature that a Dr. Guithers in 1699 took the trouble to procure frogs' spawn from England, since which time they have multiplied in Ireland. Hut the common lizard is found in many parts of the island. The glowworm is not. Though the common toad and till recent times the frog were not found in Ireland, it is worth rememtiering that the English reptiles and batraehians are very local in their distribution. The natterjack toad is only found in certain counties. The edible frog was formerly only found in Foulmire Fen. in Cambridgeshire. and the sand lizard is most capricious in the choice of a home. The “beautiful green lacerta-" which Gilbert White saw on the sunny banks near Farnham are to be found there still, the males being of the green color, and also near Bournemouth and in Dorsetshire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet there are many suitable places where none are seen, and then they reappear again on some sandhills on the coast of Lancashire, near Southport. On tlie other hand, the absence of many species in Ireland which are or were commonly found in the larger island can only lie explained on the supposition that they never reached the country. Among these are the wildcat, the polecat and the weasel. Yet the marten was always plentiful on the other side of St. George's channel, and stoats abound in the west. Five of tlie fourteen species of bat found in Eng land have not been taken in Ireland, neither is the common shrew found there or the water shrew or the mole, though the last is found in Anglesey. Only ■ ix of the fifteen British rodents are found in Ireland, and of these one. the squirrel, was probably introduced. Neither is tlie roe deer indigenous. In support of the general theory that the immigration of the English fauna was difficult in the earlier periods and subsequently checked altogether may be cited the analogous instance of tlie Isle of Man. There, as in Ireland, there are no moles, no snakes and no toads.— London Spectator. APHORISMS. Philosophy is nothing but discretion. —John Seldon.

Speakinv Witboat Wordi. Spanish young ladies hold animated conversations with their lovers by means of a fan. which they always carry. Italians use a flower for similar purposes, and a young girl who may lie apparently idly pulling the petals from a rose is in reality making arrangements for perhaps a secret visit to the opera house with her lover. In Malta comparatively few people 5 can read, yet nearly every one holds a i prayer book when ut church.

Isiffl MCIEO Dietrich of Nebraska Charged With Accepting a Bribe. Poatmaster of Hastings Indicted at the Same Time. Charged With Conspiracy to Bribe. Sensational Allegations Made in Connection With Distribution of Patronage. Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 17.—The United States grand jury last night returned true bills against United States Senator Charles H Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher of Hastings. Neb., charging them with bribery and conspiracy. The senator is charged with accepting a bribe of $1 .910 from hishcr. in consideration of which the latter was recommended for the postmaster ship at Hastings. Four other cases, said to be of a similar nature, are being Investigated by the grand jury, and a report on all or a part oi them is expected very soon. All are case’ in which postoffices and postmasters are concerned. The court merely accepted the re- > port of the grand jury, making no re marks on its contents beyond making , an order to the clerk for filing of the , bills. The indictment against Senato* Dietrich charges that he accepted money and property in consideration of having recommended Fisher for appointment as postmaster at Hastings That against Postmaster Fisher charges him with making an agreement with Senator Dietrich by wh'ch the former was to pay in property and money $1,300 tor securing to Fisher the appointment. Evidence was presi t.ted to the grand jury to show that Fisher had bought postofflce fixtures , Irom the Grand Army post at Hastings j of the value of SSOO and later turned I the property over to Senator Dietrich to whose building it was removed and to whom was paid a rental by the go, I eminent In addition to turning over this property, it is charged that Fisher paid to the senator SBOO in cash. What Dietrich Has to Say. Washington. Nov. 17. —Senator D'C’ rich and Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee have arrived in this city, and all inquirers as to the indictment of the senator were referred to .Mr. Rosewater who declared that the indictments were the result of a political quarrel. Mr Rosewater asserted that Senator Dietrich had come to Washington at this time to bring about the removal of District Attorney Sommers. He said they had already been to the White House on this mission. Mr. Rosewater dec'ared that District Attorney Sommers had pushed the charges against Senator Diet rich for the reason that they were politically antagonistic. INDIANA'S CLAIM Governor Durbin Calls on War Department for Guard'* Pay. Washington. Nov. 17—Governor Durbin of Indiana yesterday called at the war department to present the state s claim for $7.-.no for mounts and forage at the Kentucky maneuvers General Oliver said he had given considrrable attention to the establish ment of an improved system of mill- 1 tla accounts with the government and would announce the result in a dav or two in th* form of a circular giving regulations for the settlement of such accounts which will apply uniformly to all the states and territories.
