BEING DISCUSSED County Treasurer to Be Nominated Q Opinions Being Expressed bv Local Democrats as to Its Solution. The election of a county treasurer this fall is causing the local democrats to scratch around among I their grey matter, in solution of the matter, in view of the fact that their I county ticket is already selected. 1 Many have indicated their belief j that a county convention would be , the easiest, cheapest and most satisfactory way of squeezing out of the dilemma. They argue that ' the election of delegates by popular ' vote of the precincts, giving one del- j egate for every twenty or twenty five votes, would be an expression of the popular vote, and that it would not take much time or ! money to make such nomination in •in this way. The meeting of the county central committee which has been arranged for February 1, will no doubt take the matter up and reach some conclusion for its ' proper and satisfactory disposition. I The committee no doubt, are as J much at sea as any one else, and will appreciate any good, sound advice that may lie advanced. Wells . county dmocrats are up a tree on a nomination for sheriff, and are i not talking of holding a primary I election some time next August, j There are but few counties effected, i and they will simply have to inau- ■ gurate a plan of nomination in I some way, and complete their ■ ticket $25 DOLLARS REWARD.

THE INFAMY OF LATE GERRYMANDER

Indianapolis. Feb. 6. —At the temporary headquarter* of the Democratic state comuilt'ee many letters are beins received expressing gratification over the result of the two preliminary l I suits to test the constitutionality of the legislative apportionment act It is doubtful, however, if any of the politicians outside the few who helped I to prepare the complaints realised the ; full scope of the measure. Under norma! conditions the Democrats could i not hope to get more than forty five ' of the 150 members on Joint ballot, i Fifteen of the so-called Democratic districts are doubtful, while thirteen are so very close that the Republicans could claim them as well as the Democrats If the Republicans should carry the state by the majority run up in 1902. then the Democrats could not I hope to get more than thirty-two mem hers. In other words the Republicans, while casting but a fraction over F>o per eent of the vote, would have 80 per cent of the members of the leglsl lature. Under these circumstances It I is not regarded as surprising that the , law should be held unconstitutional. — The Democratic state convention will be held here the last week of I May or the first of June. The date | will not be definitely determined until ’he state committee has a meeting, but Chairman O'Brien save it will be | the last week of May or the first of June, and ho has been talking with Other leaders regarding the matter Some leaders would like to delay It tin v Hl after the national convention, but K that wo’dd lie impossible as the state , convention names the delegates to ths *" i national, convention.

I NO EXTRA SESSION Governor Will Not Call Assembly to Make New Law I Should the supreme court affirm the decision of Judge Artman and Judge Downey in declaring the apportionment law of Indiana unconstitutional, and it is generally conceded that the decisions of the lower court will be sustained, I the apportionment law of 1897 will Ibe in force. When asked if he anI ticipated calling an extra session ; of the Legislature to pass a new apporionment law in case the law of 1903 is declared bad, Governor i Durbin emphatically said he did ■ not intend to call the extra session and furthermore that he has never thought of such a thing. The I ■ matter has been suggested to the ; Governor by the politicians who ■ have been building their fences ■ 'on the apportionment of 1903. Declaring the law unconstitution] will make useless some of the work that has been done in the counties particularly affected by- the appor-tionment.—-Indianapolis News. BACHELOR MAIDS Met Last Evening With Miss Smith Happy Hours at Whist and Luncheon. —The Winners and Losers. I The Bachelor Maids met last evening for the first time in two weekwith Miss Nettie Smith on Mercer street and full membersip was present. As is the usual custom | with these young ladies, the even ing was whiled away by playing whist and the contest last evening was long and furious, it taking'» fourteen games to deside who were the winners which proved to be Miss Edith Wemhoff and Miss Rose Contre while the boobies were awarded to Miss May me Tervt-er and Miss Mary Heffner in reognition of their poor playing. After the awarding of the prizes the tables were cleared away and Miss Nettie proceeded to set before h 'r guests all t le dainties that were in season and you can imagine the rest. No arrangements were made last evening to where they would meet next, but notice will fie given j later.

state convention to take a stand and ' trust to luck that Its platform does! not conflict with that of the national convention. Chairman O'Brien and other Democratic politicians are confldent that the convention will be large and enthusiastic as they state that in many counties the Democrats are already organizing. Urey Woodson, member of the Democratic national committee from Kentucky, who passed through here! en route for Chicago, stopped long, enough for a conference with ex Mayor | Taggart, member of the national com-' mlttee from this state. He is very friendly to Taggart and would like to. see the latter made chairman of thej national committee, but he says that the question of the chairmanship will no doubt be determined by the nominee for president. The nominee, however may be impressed with Taggart's; qualities and select him Woodson' did not care to discuss the outlook for the coming campaign. The Democrats of Marion county will reorganize their county committee tonight at a meeting In Masonic hall. There will not be much of a contest. Charles R Clarke, a well-known young attorney, will be selected to succeed W W. Spencer as chairman and Chas Pettljdbn. another young attorney, will succeed Frank Rosa as secretarv. ] The result of the reorganization so far i is a decided vlctorv for the Taggart I wing of the party. There was nothing for the Keaeli-Hollziuan end to do but i to take Its medicine as gracefully as possible. Thia I* tue first time In, many years that Democrats organized •• early. I

HANNA A SICK MAN Ohio Senator l« Down With Typhpld ' Fever. — Washington Feb. 6 Senator Han-; na s illness Is officially pronounced by I his physicians to be irregular typhoid ' that is. typhoid fever, with the fever symptoms less regular and marked I than pronounced types of the disease.) I It is stated that there are no organic i > complications to add to the serious-1 ness of the case, but the senator at the i ■ time of the attack was hi a literally worked out condition, so that his extreme physical weakness and nervous I depression, coupled with his age. I stxty-slx years, and frequent recent rheumatic attacks, makes the case one of much more gravity than an ordinary attack of typhoid. The crisis of the fever is not expected before the middle of next week. The senator Is entirely conscious and insisted on some papers being brought to him for hie signature, but was so weak that when he was nut off two or three times he dropped off into slumber from exhaustion His physician expresses confi dence in the senator's recovery, lint admits that even if no complications ’ or unforeseen developments of any i kind occur It will be a matter of weeks and will require the most careful and I painstaking nursing No one except I Mrs Hanna Miss Phelps, the senator's niece, and .Mr Elmer Dover, his , secretary, are nermitted to see him aside from the doctors and two trained nurses Mrs. Lorenz on the Stand.
