DEMOCRATS WANT ANOTHER OPINION

. Indianapolis. Feb. !•>. The Democratic state committee will not abide by the decision of Addison C. Harris, i attorney for the Republican state comI mittee holding the law fixing the terms i of the county officers unconstitutional, i This law was enacted ai the last session of the legislature upon request of the county officers’ association. The purpose, as stated then, was to fix a uniform time for the lieginning of terms but the result was io give many men now in office from a month to a year's extra time. It also meant that many treasurers anil clerks would not have to be elected this year as ■ they would hold over until after the election ol IfiOfi. Harris holds that the law is not valid but Chairman O'Hrien of the llemocratlc state comi mittee is In doubt so he has referred the matter to Alonzo Greene Smith. : for an opinion. In the meantime the Republican state committee is advia- | ing the county chairmen to see that ; nominations are made the same ax j they would have been if the law had not been enacted. Smith has not i looked into the matter but he thinks there is some question whether or not the law is constitutional. The county office's are preparing to defend the law and a test ‘Suit w ill probably be filed soon Some of the Indiana members of congress are having to do the hot I foot" to hold their own In a political I way.

John Mayer, Secretary J. R Parrish, Chairman. BADLY BRUISED Arthur Beery in Runaway Accident Thrown From Rig and Receives Several Serious Cuts on Mead.

1 Arthur Beery figured in an exciting runaway accident this after- • noon and required the services of a physician to dress his wounds. He was driving a team hitched to a sample wagon. The horses became frisrhtened when near the Adams County Bank corner and plunged along about a square and a half before they stopped. The distance was short but great enough in which to wreck the wagon several dollars worth. When near the I W. H. Nibilck homo, Arthur was thrown out. his hea 1 striking the I frozen street; he was run over and i dragged a short distance. He was | taken to the Beery A- Holthou.*- , barn and Dr. Clark summoned who dressed the wounds, Arthur received three severe cuts, each one inch long, on top of his head and his face was bruised some and his right foot was budjv fractured People who saw the accident fear ed would be a fatal one. Arthur showed his nerve while handling the madened horses.

Second. Congressman Miers has no opposition as yet but he is running back and forth between home and Washington to see that nothing roes on that will cause him to lose Congressman Zenor is now at home making the fight of his life for a renomination with the chances about even! for him to win or lose John E I.to’-h of Terre Haute former member of congress from the' Fifth district. >s again coming to the front as a leader of the Democratic party. In 'he campaign of '&« and ISOo he was not active as he did not , like the Bryantstic platforms although he voted for the ticket. He Is noted , for the forcible way he has of making public statements. This is what he says about the Jtemocratic platform: "There is no more necessity of o-r declaring for the free and unlimited . coinage oi silver than there Is to reiterate the plank of ’64 that war was a .i failure I have said several times. j and I am willing to repeat it. that the j face of the Democratic party is to the future and that those who are looking backward for issues will either have to get out of the way or be run over " In other words Ijirnb probably means that neither Bryan nor any other man is to be permitted to block the way of the Democrats towards reorganization along old lines It would not hr surprising If Indiana should furnish three candidates for vice-president. J. seems to be the genera! opinion now that Senator Fairbanks will be the Republican nominee for second place. There is talk of H. I F. Shively of South Bend for second i place on the Itemoeratic ticket ! The leaders of the party like the looks j of the Indiana man and if he would ; con.;ent he would stand a fine show Then Felix T. McWhirter, of this city, i is an active candidate for the Prohlbltlon nomination for vice president i| sad as the national convwniiou will be J held here and aa thia fa one of the , banner Prohibition states ha wlli stand good in way of winning

BASE BALL TALK Decatur Will Have a Good Team Surrounding Cities Already Ask for Dates.—Celina Wants to Come in March. I? The reputation of Decatur as a 1 base ImII town is certainly still before the public as would seem by the number of letters that Dee DeVinney is receiving each day from teams desiring an early date in this city for this coming season. ’ Among some of these are Celina. Fort Wayne and Lima and which three teams played against Decatur last season and all of them losing by small scores, but in the letters received it states that owing to the fine treatment afforded them ; they desire a return game for this ’ i season. The earliest date asked for is by the Celina team, they desiring March 27th. This in all probability will be a little too early for ,the management here as the season will not open here until some time in April at which time all teams desiring dates will be accomodated A meeting will be called some time during the latter part of this month and a team will be organized and arrangements made to get good teams to come here during the coming seas< -n and from the records made last year and the material developed. Decatur should have an awful strong teain for amatures. It will be the intention of the team to play only Sunday ball, and the majority of rhe games to lie played here. The grounds will be put in first class condition and moved i back cl ser to the grand stand thus affording a better view from this stand point. As soon as possible we will give to our readers the line up of the team for rhe coming season. Notice to Water Consumers The books are made up and are now in the hands of the treasurer.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE Blue Creek Township Instructors Met Saturday. i The last Institute of Blue Creek township met at District No. 1. Fob. 6, 1904. Every teacher "«> present and several visitors, also Truestee Mattox. The first subject was 'lvanhoe" whicn was handled, by Owen Butcher and Chaunoy; Lautzenhiser. Both gentlemen | had their subjects well mastered and j made very interesting. In the general discussion which followed. , so much interest was manifested I that at close no time was left for any other subject before the noon hour. After singing two or three songs Institute adjourned for dini ner. This part of the program was furnished by Mis. Joe Grim, to I whose house the company repaired and surely did justice to the repast i that was set out. Every one press ent vioted Mrs. Grim as being an . ideal in her part. “Lincoln " was . the subject discussed after the dini ner, the leaders being Mr. Weldy and Mr. Roop. Both proved them - selves well prepared to answer or discuss any question that might ’ arise. Afterward came “School i. Management" under the leadership sjof Mr. Merriman. Several ques- • tions were sprung on this subject, ; probably the most interesting one ’ was "shall any promotions be made ‘ during the term of school?” It was i decided "yes” on very rare occa- “ sions, but the general rule is "no.” • Following this came the usual prol ceedings for a dismissal o 1 NOTES. Special mention should be made of the singing done by Wheeler Grim und Otis Bevington, two nine year old pupils Mr. Lantaenheiser favors giving private instructions to some of the larger pupils. We suppose he means the fairer sex. Mr Butcher would like everybody to tie their dons when he goes out after night and also to give him better directions so he will not: get lost. i —o— Mr. Tyndall, an ex teacher was ; present und as usual made some! ■ very excellent remarks. —o— The Misses Blanche Grim and Minnie Sipe were the organists and did their share nicely.
