WAS GOOD. Rtv. John C. White Takes to the Lectare Platform. Much favorable comment has been hurled at the Rev. John C. White since his appearance in Monroe lecture course, where he distinguished himself with the subject, "The Tie that Binds.’’ It was the second number of a series of five lectures which Rev. Sprague at that place originated for the edification and pleasure of the people of Monroe. Rev. White acquitted himself with considerable credit and the audience who heard him speak in glowing terms of the eloquence and sound ‘logic that permanated the discourse from beginning to ending. While we knew of his capibilites yet it gives us pleasure to voice the sentiments of those who heard him define, “The tie that binds." Marriage Licenses. George L. Stanton to Liselte Horsetmeyer. The Burt House is hving an addition built to it in the form of a storm door. Dick is always up to date and believes in having everything that is beneficial to his house. It's not so much a joke to miss something that can be enjoyed, therefore, don’t miss “Side Tracked.”

DEMOCRATS HAVE CAUSE TO SMILE

Indianapolis. Nov. 18. —Democratic politicians in this city are having a quiet laugh at the efforts being made by the Republican organ here to make it appear that a great battle is on between Thomas Taggart and James L. Reach for control of the Democratic organization in this county and district. The struggles of the two chieftains have been painted in vivid colors and the strategy that each is resorting to has been fully explained in the Republican organ, even while the pa per states that .e- plans are so secret that neither politician knows what the other is doing Taggart and Keach are pictured as the bitterest enemies. 1 each man going armed with a mighty club with which he proposes to fell. his paper antagonist the moment h< I may see him in the street. As a mat-1 ter of fact Taggart and Keach are the best of friends at present and there is little likelihood that the two men will split, as each is necessary to the other for the furtherance of the political plans which they have in common. Their friendship was well demonstrated in the recent city election, when Keach appealed to Taggart to assist in lining up one of the doubtful wards. Taggart responded by coming hers from French Lick and spending the last two weeks of the campaign in looking after the Fourteenth ward.: When the vote was counted it was, found that the Fourteenth was the only south side ward that gave an increased Democratic vote. When Tag-; gart and Keach split there probably ! will be a royal political battle, but that there is little chance of this at present when their ambitions do not -conflict is agreed by everyone who understands the situation. Lieutenant Governor Newton W Gilbert of Fort Wayne was here today and was warmly greeted by his many friends, who wore glad to see him and congratulate him on his recovery from the attack of inflammatory rheuaaatlan which necess.tated h!s con-

AN INTERVIEW. An Hour’s Talk With Colonel Ferry. • ■ A Story of Interest Concerning Tacoma and the Puget Sound. Col Clinton PeyT® Ferry, always of and for Tacoma, his native city, which he named and has made more than any one person, has been rightly styled the “Duke of Tacoma.” He is a most wonderful man and no project, even that of building a city could fail with such untiring energy, such talent, such brains as his, behind it. A representative of this paper had the pleasure of an hours interview with this famous man and within a few moments he had us convinced that Tacoma is in more ways than one the most wonderful of the world’s cities. In 1868 Mr. Ferry, then a young man, went to Tacoma, a nameless trading station of the state of Washington. Its location and wonderful natural resources at once appealed to him and he invested every dollar he had in real estate, knowing with the growth of the nation the site was bound to become valuable. Five years afterward, in 1873, Col. Ferry lx came a real

citizen of the town which he named Tacoma,after the famous old mountain,meaning“the great mountain.” From that day, thirty years ago, the Colonel's heart anti soul has been with the town and how well he has made Tacoma can only be told by a comparison of it today and then. From a village of a half dozen houses it has become a thriv1 ing, hustling, busy city of 65.000 j whose products are known the I world over. Well may a man feel I proud of such a work as Clinton Peyre Ferry has done and we are even proud to know hyn. What a city a few such men could make out 'of Decatur. From 1873, Tacoma grew but slowly and in 1886 we find but a population of 5000 soul s, then the long years of Jabor Iwgan to be manifest, people of every part ; of this and other countries began to

tinued treatment at a sanitarium at Battle Creek. Mich. Mr. Gilbert Jia® not yet entirely recovered, but he is feeling much better and except for the lameness following the rheumatic attack, is almost well. He expressed himself as being more than glad to be bark in Indiana once more and able to get about, as his six weeks of serious illness is still an awful nightmare. Politically the lieutenant governor is still "up in the air’’ as to his intentions regarding the race for the gubernatorial nomination. He has been out of touch with politics for so many weeks that he feels that be must get i his bearings before he can announce his intentions. It will probably be several days before he will know Just i what he intends to do. but his friends - are still counting on him as a candidate and say he has lost nothing by his enforced idleness for the last six weeks. The return of the Rev. W. A. Quayle of Kansas City to this city for a lecture before his old congregation at the Meridian street church has recalled the talk that he will probably be one of the men elected bishop next year at ’he general conference of the Metho I dist church. There is no doubt that Dr. Quayle stands in the front rank j of the Methodist ministers of the conn try. At the last general conference j he received votes on several of the ballots cast for bishops. Indiana Methodists generally claim Dr Quayle as one of their own members, and there is little doubt that if the chance 'comes at the next session of the con ference he will receive strong support from both ministerial and lay dele- | gates from Indiana. Scottish Rite .Masons have taken possession of the city this weak, and all the hotels are crowded with the members of the order. The semiannual meetings of th" Scottish Rlters always attract large crowds, and t.ie present this rule. •

realize the resources of the city and to seek location there. Not a bonus was given but visitors were gladly shown the advantages of living and transacting business there. The town boomed and within seven years had trippled itself in population, then came a blow, the panic of 1893. Only cool business heads, could have steered the city safely through the heavy waves of misfortune, but Col. Ferry and others interested did it. Then fwa steady growth, the r. nl kind that builds cities to tnn j f or . ever. In 1900 th; hud in . babit; num^r h a 9 grown rapidly until now it reaches 65,000 or more, and more business is transacted there than in any city of the size in the world. The residence portion and which by the way is most beautiful is located on a high bluff from 200 to 300 feet above the ■ocean front, while the railroads, shops and many of the factories are underneath and away from the view of the causal visitor. There may be found enormous grain houses, one of which is the largest in the world; dozens of railway tracks, coal docks, and manufactories of almost every conceivable kind, 450 in all a ad’employing 9,000 men. The combined value of the factories is nearly <16,000,000 and the annual output is worth <27,500,000, the monthly pay roll is <400,000 and even now the city is gaining at the rate of twenty-five factories a year. In oriental exporting Tacoma ranks third in the United Sates, New York and San Francisco only excelling it. Last year the ocean trade was <40,000,000 and last month alone it was <1 900,000 over half the entire Puget Sound, including city of Seattle trade. Within the past three years the business advance has been wonderful as may be seen by the following pircentage list: Population 50 per cent, post office receipts 57 percent, custom 100 percent, bank clearings 150 percent, ocean commerce 194 per cent, wheat exports 202 per cent, flour 120 percent, laborers 100 per cent, telephones 222 per cent. Tacoma is unquestionably the coming great city of the Puget sound and of the Pacific coast and its wonderful' growth may cause you to ask why? Because it is beautiful, (the city of i roses.) healthy, the chart te being ’as near jierfect as found anywhere. ‘ its harbors are the liest in the world. a great coal field is just without its gates. Mt. Tacoma streams furnish I the greatest water power for electric plants of any coast city in the world, by use of electric methods, invented and first used in Tacoma, goods can be loaded and un loaded from steamshi]>s, much more rapidly than any where else; it is the outlet of a great grain, mining and manufacturing community,it is 1 a great exporting and importing ' station and BECAUSE Col. Ferry ' and others like him have never ceased taking of Tacoma. It is but little wonder that the citizens there swear by him and when he leaves urge that he hasten home. He is : enroute to Paris‘and will leave 1 here within a few days. He gave | ( an interesting talk at the Com mereial Club rooms last evening, i Hisjsubject of course being Tacoma." He will give another talk Saturday evening.

In advertising that they will refund the money to any one purchasing a Hyomei outfit who can say that it has done them no good in the treatment of catarrh, the Holthouse Drug Co. mean exactly what the guarantee says.

Os course the percentage of cures by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else we could not afford to make this unusual offer. But if the treatment should not be adapted to your ease there will be no questions or quibblings when you go to get your money. That the beginning of catarrh is due to the presence of germs in the air passages is now admitted by every phpsician. It stands to reason that catarrh cannot be cuted unless these germs are first destroyed. The Hyomei treatment kills the catarrh germs even in the minutest air cells soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane and makes complete and lasting cures in cases that have resisted the usual methods of treat ment. Catarrh cannot be cured by medi cines administered through the atom ach. Hyomei is the only natural method and it has made cures that seem miraculous. The complete out fit costs but SI and consists of an inhaler. which will last a lifetime, and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment. Additional bottles of Hyomei can be procured for 50c. The Holthouse Drug Co. give their personal guarantee with every Hyo mei outfit they sell to refund t a money if it does not cure. There is no risk whatever to the purchaser o* ’Hyomei. * JOLO IN REBELLION Troops Landed and • Fighting Commenced at Once.
