There will be a meeting of the Adams County Central Committee at Decatur, Saturday, November 28,1903, j at 9 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of | arranging time for holding the Democratic Primary Election, and to transact such other business that may come before the committee. J. W. McKean, Chairman. Now comes the grape vine that William J. Bryan will propose thei name of John W. Bookwalter, of Springfield, Ohio, as the democratic candidate for president. The anti-Cromerites in Adams county are working full time, with a view of controlling the county organization. As it now stands a divided delegation will represent Adams in ( the next congressional convention. The Berne News, the second newspaper for Berne, made its appearance 1 Saturday, looking clean, neat and, 1 healthy. While its field may appear 1 limited, yet the resources of Berne are without limit, and the News may prosper. Here is hoping it may, at least. Newspaper advertising costs you ; too much when you try it today and : stop it tomorrow. So would clerks < cost you too much if you hired them for a day now and then. Same with delivery wagons. The wheels of your business must never 6top, aud the: whole machinery is out of gear unless ( the big advertising wheel is always turning. Hartford City Gazette. i Chicago citizens have raised 575.000 : and will increase this amount to SIOO,- I 000 and then will make an effort to 1 land both the democratic and repub- 1 iieau national conventions for the i windy city. In one respect Chicago is < the best place in the country to hold I a national convention, as they possess ’ every accommodation aud can take ] care of the crowd that attend these | gatherings, without even the sign of i an effort.

LACK OF HARMONY IN RANKS OF G. 0. P.

Indianapolis, Nor. 2:’.. —The talk of | the Republican campaign managers of the harmony which they claim exists among their party workers is a source of great amusement to Democratic leaders here and elsewhere throughout ! the sia l • wherever the true conditions are known. As a matter of fact there ! never was a time when the party was ; in worse shape than at the present, i The various sauguinary conflicts now going ou In several of the districts to control the selection of the district committeemen gives all the needed evidence of this, and if anyone doubts that Republicans are far from practic-; lag the biblical injunction to dwell together in harmony, all he needs to | do is to read some of the newspaper Interviews of candidates and their friends regarding their opponents. But a bigger fight has just been opened up. and one which promises to divide the Republicans pretty generally. This is nothing less than the break between Senator Fairbanks and Governor Durbin. Harmony between these two rivals Is about the last thing of which ihey arc dreaming. Antagonism and "war to the death” are an-1 ticlpoted. Tile cause of the split is the charge made by the Governor's friends that Senator Fairbanks has pra< ilcally put the governor out of the running In the vice presidential raco. Fairbanks. It Is rlaimed. has pretended not to want the nomination himself. yet Ims acted In such away that he has put the governor fn the background until he chooses to announce his Irtontlons. This. It Is said. In a part of the tail senator's plan to keep any other leader from becoming too big a factor In state politics. That It has worked well in Durbin's case his friends do not deny. Hence their anger and the threats of seeking revenge In away which augurs 111 for the party. Ind’ana lovers pf rr.’.s'e win

The Herald has opened its big batteries on the Cromer pie eaters in Madison county, and bombards them with a fierce editorial. It will not tolerate iheir political interference, and serves notice accordingly. The pie i eaters gives the Herald the “hoss ! laugh” and say it is a handicap which will easily undo Mr. Dunlap. They ! claim “under the new rule” a walk away for Cromer in selecting delegates. The republican congressional fight in this county will be a battle this time. | The Cromerites announces their iuI tention of contesting every precinct with Mr. Dunlap. Anderson News. The New York World, which is highly elated over the position taken by the democrats in congress on the Cuban treaty, says: “The action of | the caucus commits the democratic party anew to the policy of tariff reform. It is a gratifying sign of returning reason and unity. With the republicans ‘standing pat’ to the monopoly shattering duties of the Diugley tariff, and continuing high protection to trusts that are underselling foreign competitors in their own j markets at lower prices than are offered to home consumers, the democrats have in this the strongest possible issue in their favor.” Hon. Abraham Simmons, who frequently favors Decatur with his presence, and who is one of the many simon puredemocrats of Wells county, has carded the chairman of their denocratie central committee with objections to the manner and methods involved in the selection of delegates to the state, congressional aud other conventions. There as here these delegates are named by the members of the central committee, which does not give the masses much of an opportunity in these selections. Mr. Simmon’s suggests that precinct mass meetings be held for the selection of all convention delegates, and the idea is worthy of consideration It makes an open contest and gives every democrat the privilege of voicing his sentiments, relative to his choice. The comments of leading democrats on the recent high-handed manner of the republican administration in deal ing with the new defacto republic of Panama, aud its actions prior to the so-called revolution on the Isthmus, are in the nature of bitter denunciations of the outrage perpetrated on a friendly nation. They claim that llioserelt has outraged all precedent and placed a blct on the fair t ame of this nation for dealing with its contemporaries in a fair and just manner. That is but another step in the imperial policy. That the game he is playing is that “might made right,” an i that he is doiDg all this simply to play into the hands of the gang

bly be given more chances to listen to flue music rendered by the greatest living masters tb n has ever been the case before. The local musical societies. which always arrange for holding many notable recitals, have been particularly fortunate this season in securing engagements with the very best artists seen on the platform or stage. In addition to this several of the leading musical organizations and soloists will appear here under the auspices of charitable institutions. The musical program for the winter's entertainment of true lovers of music is the most elaborate ever planned. It is certain that the various concerts will be well patronized by music lovers from all over the state. A great deal will depend on the support given the entertainment by outsiders, as Indianapolis can hardly hope to entertain all the performers In a suitable manner. and next year nothing out of the ordinary will he attempted unless state citizens generally show their interest by attending the entertainments. J. M Cravens of Madison Is not yet ready to announce himself as a candidate for the Democratic congressional nomination from the Fourth district against Congressman Grilflth It is known that Mr. Cravens has had his eye on this position for many long months, but while here yesterday he said he has not decided what course ho will take. The light against Griffith promises to he lively, as a half dozen men are known to he after the nomination. If several of them do not announce themselves as candidates Mr. Cravens will probably get. Into the raep. If It simmers down to a fight between only two men. it Is not unlikely that one of these two men will be Mr. Cravens The latter Is keeping his eyes open, and If he sees a good chance to rush In and capture the nomination It Is safe to say the effort will be tried.

CUT HIS FINGER. Carpenter Crawley Received Painful Injury. Frank Cowley, a carpenter, received a painful injury while at work at the Allison&-Studabaker block this morning. He was using a hatchet and while doing his work was likewise carrying on a conversation with a bystander. One of the licks missed fire and the sharp hatchet struck Frank's left hand, almost severing the index finger of the left hand, outing off the ligaments and nearly through the bone. Dr. D. D. Clark dressed the wound which was very painful as may be imagined, and will keep him from work a few days. Amusements. Little Mary Jefferson the famous little artist, has been engaged by the management of “ A Little Outcast,” for the part of “Bob” a New York newsboy and will be <een here at the opera house Wednesday, Nov. 25 in her new role. This production was the record breaker on the road last season and comes here bigger and “better than ever. The strongest acting east on the road has been selected. Jefferson will lx 1 seen in her famous specialty. The scenery is elaborate and includes some wonderfully realistic pictures of famous localities in New York. By special inducements manager Bosse has secured the services of Fred C. LaDelle tho magician for Thanksgiving night. Mr. LaDelle is the man everybody talks about, his feats of magic marvel the most learned they are elevating to the mind and pleasing to behold. The Springfield Democrat says of him, “Kellur and Herman may have longer programs than LaDelle but they are not one whit more clever, nor do they use more pleasing accessions.” This is certainly strong endorsement from a city where they get all the leading attractions. Mr. LaDelle has a few days off and is visiting his family and taking a rest, and being a special friend of the manager of the opera house Mr.Bosse was induced to give his program at the opera house on Thanksgiving night on the condition that the price should be 25 cents that all of his friends could see him, which they undoubtedly will. There will lx* no extra charge for reserved seats. Seat sale at Holthouse drug store. PIANOS AND ORGANS AT A GREAT BARGAIN. I have left from my speical sale in Adams county.
