A reception to Mayor Dunlap is among the social features of the present congressional primary, and will take place this evening at the parlors of the Murray Hotel. It is unnecessary to appear in full dress and pat ent leathers, as those it charge will extend the right hand of fellowship to any that may call, the only credent ials necessary oeiug a free and easy promise to support Mr. Dunlap for Congress. Eor the nerve already displayed, entitles Mr. Dunlap to a full house.

The mid-winter meeting of the "Democratic Editorial Association at the (Irani! Hotel, Indianapolis, was one of the best ever given. The at tendance was large.*! aud all the features of a social and business meet-' ing were in evidence. Democracy! fairly overflowed, and the public uttaraiKs-s. were of the I'.MH pat tern and were given hearty endorsement. It was decreed by the editors that the rank and file should have an Inning, and that they instead of the leaders, should write the platform and name the candidates. I his is the best kind of democracy and if

adopted will result in uniting all hands for a final vi tory when the votes are io be counted. The Editorial Association is composed of strong and honest men and their efforts at this time to overthrow all dictatorial leadership will be appreciated by all those who have at heart the welfare of the democratic party.

INDIANA’S GUBERNATORIAL TIMBER

Indianapolis. Feb. a.—The two mos’ taiked-of men among the Democratic editors tor the nomination for governor were Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton and Major G. V. Menzies of Mount Vernon. There Is no doubt but that either could have the place on the ticket and that either would be a strong candidate. Mr. Dougherty is respected alike by Republicans and Democrats He is a public-spirited man and a Democrat of the broadgauge type, it is not likely, however, that he could be induced to make the race. So far as Major Menzies is! concerned he needs no introduction ! He has served with distinction as a' member of the board of regents that had charge of all the work on the beautiful soldiers’ and sailors' monument here. He has been one of the prom-| inent public men of his day. is a fine, campaigner, and a thoroughgoing gen tieman of the old school. Lately there has been not a little talk of him fori vice president. If it is possible, the* Democratic leaders will induce him to! run for governor. The decision of Addison C. Harris of| this city, holding the act of the recent I legislature fixing the time on whlcaj county officers shall begin their term ‘ unconstitutional, has created more! widespread interest among politicians than any other decision of the year. The effect is far-reaching, as it will] mean tiiat many county officers wlll| have to be mimed that it was thought would not have to lie elected for at least another campaign. The idea of I the law was to have all county officers begin their term on the first of the year. There was a powerful lobby of county officers behind the measure Many would hate been enriched sev-.

GUARDIAN SUIT Heard in Court This Morning Sarah Hirschy Wants Her Money That She May Help the Poor Heathen.

The case of Joseph D. Moser vs Sarah Hirschy. complaint to have ‘ I the defendant declaerd of unsound mind, was heard by Judge Erwin this morning. Sarah is a young lady who has just become of age and who has $60(1 which has i heretofore been under the care of :Mr. Moser, her guardian. Sarah i who is religiously inclined said on the witness stand that she wished to gain possession of her money that she might give to the ]»oor and needy when she wanted to. Judge Erwin took the question under ad jvisment. In justice to Mr. Moser, it should be stated that his motive in this case are of the purest. He I does not want to be the guardian i but believes that for her own good and future welfare she should be protected by a guardian appointed ‘by the court. The exact sum of her wealth is s6ll and if she provides for herself in the future she will not tie able tn contribute much to the poor heathen as she expressed it. Notice to Water Consumers The books are made up and are now in the hands of the treasurer. Please call and settle at once. G. E. Steele, Supt. Water Works. A Sexton Wanted. Notice is hereby given that applications for a sexton at the Decatur cemetery will be filed with the Secretary on or before the 16th l>f February 1904 at 2 p. m, .1. H. Stone, Secretary. 22d1l Cashier C. A. Dugan of the First National Bank, came home at noon today from a business trip to Anderson .

Among the Democratic editors there was considerable discussion of a date for the state convention. Many were not in favor of holding the convention until after the presidential ticket is nominated, but they overlooked the fact that the state convention must come first, as the delegates to the national convention are selected then. It is the rule of the Democrats to select their delegates to the national convention at the siate convention The Republicans on the other hand select theirs in district conventions Those Democrats who favor waiting until after the national convention do so for the reason that they want to know ahead of time what the platform will contain. They don’t want to adopt a state platform ihat might be radically opposed in something to national platform. However, there is no remedy for the matter and the state convention will have to come first. Senator W. H. O'Brien of l-awrence-hurg. chairman of the Democratic state committee, who came to attend the meeting of the Democratic editors. remained over until today to consult with Secretary Reiley regarding the political situation. He is naturally highly elated over the result of the suits to test the constitutionality of the legislative r’apportionment act. lie was largely instrumental for them and gathered much of the material contained in the comidaints. In the suit at 1 jtwrencebttrg he was named as plaintiff He says that another suit has been filed in the Ripley county circuit court to enjoin the county off! cers front proceeding with the election of a representative for Ripley and Jennings counties, which are nearly 3.000 in excess of the unit. Chairman O’Brien is confident that the ’aw will be sot aside by the supreme court. An ong the Democratic editors there was but little talk of candidates for president. Some of them favored Gorman. A number were for Parker, and a few lor Olney and llrav of Delaware. one or two were for Hearst, but there were none talking of Cleveland 1 "i evident, however, I that the editors have not fully made . up their minds, but ratter they are I awaiting developments.

This company is a very prosperous one and are doing a great amount of business whereever they establish aa agency, and the Fort Wayne District which includes Allen, Adams and Wells counties is considered one of the best districts in the state.
