Terre Haute Gazette. “Young Democracy," Hale Keene.'. 1 Indiana University. ■‘Democratic Editors and Party Policies." C. \V. Metsker, Plymouth Democrat. •‘Famous Tombs.’ Mrs. .1 O Henderson.

The meeting will bring together ’he usual number of party leaders ami there is liable to lie much doing in the political line. A number of editors arrived today and there is every pros-, pect of a large attendance. Judge Samuel R. Art man. of Lebanon. in deciding that the legislative re-, apportionment act was unconstitutionali made one stateme it that will bear re-1 iwutting—that is. that it was evidently j constructed on the principle of David I Hr.rum to do unto the other fellow as no would do unto you. but do it first ’ H is probabL that the Democrat? would have done the same as the R ■- publicans ttuder the same condition i, lint one thing Is certain and Hint is that the l ” are not many politicians 1 here v,ho :-'em a whit worried over the decision, lor man.' Republicans fought the bill and were secretly hoping It would not stand l!ie test Os course there Is a possibility that ft will ho held constitutional when It goes before the supreme court but that is hardly thought likely. Judge Artman himself is a prominent Republican and for that reason very probablv wanted the bill tn stand owing to the manifest nd-vat-t-ge it n .<• his party, I;'it he <!•••

Bui ko Cockran lias been nominated by tbe democrats of the twelfth New York district, as their ' candidate for congress. He will suc[eeedMayoi McClellan, — The democrats drew first blood in | their effo it to overthrow the outran ■ ous and unfair legislative apportionment law, a badge of honor of the last republicin legislature. Judge Artman of Lebanon, a republican judge at that, has decided with the democrats, An appeal to the supreme court will be taken at once, and a decision no doubt given at an early date. Tbe democrats are hopeful that their rights will be protected. The mention of Major Menzies for any office under the sun, does nothing but reflect credit upon him who proposes it. The Major has long been known as a democrat of that school whose fidelity is never questioned, and whose counsel and wisdom is ever sought. He has.at a ready command that eloquence and wit so often heard by most all Indiana democrats, and they would be only too glad to pay the debt of honor that is so justly due him. Politics is again warming up, despite the frigidty of the atmosphere j and the efforts of the weather department to continue it indefinitely. This morning the Hon. Morey M. Dunlap : arrived in the city, looking fresh and | hopeful. He spent the day in close I communion with that part of the g. o. I p. who wish to retire Congressman J Cromer from his garden seed farm, and . the time thus devoted here is said to > have been fruitful. But as we have said, it is frightfully warm. That was a hot sizzling love feast the I g. o. p. indulged in at Winchester last i Saturday. The Hon. Theodore i Schockney was made permanent chair-1 man and the way he poured tbe olive I [oil into the Cromer machine was a caution. Mr. Sehoekney is a beautiful word painter of high class satire, and > upon this occasion he outdid the claims of his friends. The convention was easily in the hands of the antis, who ' made tbe most of the opportunities, a cheese knife being used tocut the ‘ large chunks of brotherly love.

uuei i< on wnat nc Dgarifad a* i<" merits and the supreme court will do the same. Fnder the bill ths Democrats could have carried the state by a majority of hn.OOtl and yet the Republicans would have hail the legislature by thirty on joint ballot and to have carried the legislature at all the Democrats would, have had to hate t rolled up a majority of over fid,oo”. something neither of the old parties has ever done. P H. McCormack, of Columbus, wi.o ; • has been mentioned as a probable can-! I didate for the Democratic nomination 1 for congress in me Fourth district, was here today on business. He is on” i I of the h ading Democrats of his part of the state and he admits he aspires I to become a congressman, but does 1 not know tor sure whether or not he ' will run. There has been talk of George Caldwell, of Columbus, former mayor of that place, becoming a candidate. McCormack will not run if Caidwell dors. Caldwell will not enter if McCormack does so neither may run. I As (lie situation stands now Lincoln Dixon, of North Vernon, former district committeeman, is th* only candidate to siieceetl Congressman Griffith and as the latter is bis clo». friend . and as Dixon is very popular the I chances are that he will be the leading ' man M< Cormack however, says them i are likely to be several candidates. Chairman IV. W. Spencer has issued i a call tor the reorganization of the Democratic county committee hero Saturday afternoon. Primaries will bo held Thursday afternoon forth” election of prec.tm' committeemen. The .loss primary law provides Grit ; 'liter days notice must be given of the date of n primary. Rpeuccr complied - to n letter, in fact it Is bHnat charged . that the faction he represent* wants . to take snap jndgem< m on possible opponente. The Roach Hobcrowd Us said will not have a cntidii'nte for f chairman, but will Insist on a fair prlt mary It is aaid that rha« n clarke. ] n voting attorney here, has th” backlog . of the Taggart-Fanning crowd and will .

MIDNIGHT FIRE Jack McFeely’s Home the Scene Loss is SIOO.-Blaze Discovered by Mr. Wemhoff in Time io Prevent Total Loss. Fire broke out last night in the residence occupied by Jack Me Feely on Fourth street and had it not been for the keen eye sight of Barney Wemhoff who first noticed same there might have been a very serious loss, but at it now stands one hundred dollars will cover the damage done. The fire is supposed to have originated somewhere in the kitchen near the stove as it was near the stove when Mr. Wem hoff detected same at 11:40. He immediately sent in the alarm 'and then aroused Mr. and Mrs. McFcely who were in bed. The fire company responded but before they arrived on the scene all the furniture had been carried out and the company at once proceeded to attend to the fire which seemed to be doing some damage between the ceiling and the roof. They soon had the blaze under control. The prop erty was fully insured but the occupants were very badly' frightened by being so rudely disturbed from their pleasant dreams. WANT DIVORCE Berne People Would Live Apart Mrs. Eunice Smith Asks a Decree SSOO Alimonv and Her Child. Another divorce case comes from ' Berne and has been filed in court here I by Attorney T. M. Cottrell, being en titled Ennice Smith vs. Carl M. Smith. [ The complaint shows tbe parties to h ive been married February 23,1900, and lived tegether until May 1, 1903; that one child, now two years and •three months p|d was born to them: that for more than two years the defendant has failed to support his wife and child, Mrs. Smith being compelled to work as a domestic.

Hyotnei is nature’s own matbod for curing catarrh, colds, coughs and dise; sis of tbe respiratory organs. It is the only natural treatment for the cure of these troubles.

( It searches out and kills diseat-e germs in the most remote and minute air cells of tbe Load, throat and lungs, it soothes and heals all irritation of the rnneous membrane. Hyotnei is prescribed by physicians generally. Many of them use it themselves to break up a cold and prevent pneumonia.
