Beatty all of ■ whom covered themelves with sweet scented glory. Their remarks < were well received and cheered to > the echo. Appreciative words were those expressed by W. H. Reed a former townsmen here, but now one of the '■ leading and promising lawyers of the Allen county bar. He spoke from the ritual of personal knowledge, and proclaimed his sentiments in a forceful way. The convention hall was packed > like sardines in a box, and another | could not have squeezed in, had the case been one of life or death. It was the beginning of a new era in Indiana democratic politics, and from now on it will stand in hand the guardians of the g. o. p., to watch our smoke. Senator Lew V. Ullery presided and he wielded the gavel like the senator and democratic soldier that lie is. He is the present Allen county senator, whose record is clean and wholesome and whose political career throghout is as an open book. Senator Ullery’s star i« in the ascendency and some dav we ! hope to hear of him enjoying distinction and honor with un official handle to his now unassuming name. The nominating speech of Judge Richard K. Erwin was molded after the same old pattern of eloquence that has made him a favorite upon the platform for many years. He upheld the starry banner of Adams county and delighted the audience by the many sparkling gems of oratorical eloquence. The Judge is a prime favorite in Fort Wayne where he has appeared many times as a public speaker. Senator Tyndall accepts the honors of his party with that modesty that is characteristic of the man. It will be this same good judgment and practical knowledge of men and affairs that will make him a valued member of that law making body, the senate of the Indiana general assembly. He is cool, collected, level headed under Are and in all, the kind of a man to entrust the safety and preservation of our law making government. The Fort Wayne newspapers so completely covered the ground that

I there is little left for us to sav. • But as a matter of cold facts with out any supplement of hot air, we must confess that the newspaper service in Fort Wayne is unexcelled. The papers are clean, strike straight from the shoulder, and are a credit to the progress and stability of a city of 50,000, with business interests of stupendous and incalculate value. They are all prospering as u they deserve and are wearing diamonds all cut the proper size. Along with the three thousand five hundred other Adams county democrats we doff our hat to the unterrified of Allen county for the kindly consideration givan this county, her courtly treatment accorded our people, and last but not least her recognition of the justice in the claims of Adams county. Our cup of joy is filled to overflowing and we predict that some day in the dim future the bonded debt will be paid with interest at the customary rate, and that the democrats of Allen county will rejoice that good politics guided them aright on the eventful day of February 25, 1904. Senator Steven B. Fleming’s melodious voice sounded sweet and alluring as he praised the merits of the nominee and moved that the bars—political liars—be closed up tight, and that the nomination of Mr. Tyndall be made by acclamation. It was in conformity to the fullfillmen t of his promise—and Steven Fleming’s political promise is always worth one hundred cents on the dollar. Mr. Fleming is a great fellow and his many qualities for bonifide admiration, are too numerous for personal mention. May his star shine as bright as the noonday sun. and may he continue winning laurels in the business and political world that are so justly due him. A HAPPY CHOICE. When the democrats of Allen , and Adams counties selected Mr. John W. Tyndall as their candi-i date for joint senator ’hey bnilded . a tower of strength to the ticket. , The unanimity of sentiment di<-1 played yesterday may be regarded 1 as a pleasure-giving forecast, for hothconuties will rally enthusiastic- , dly to the standard of the new :, leader. John W. Tyndall is an j ideal candidate. As a political prosjiect he is flawless, for he has no enemies, is identified with no faction and all the democrats of the two counties are his friends. Many of them know him presonally ! and nearly every one knows him by reputation, and as he stands today in the limelight, there is no fault to be found with him. He is a business man of capacity, and morever a successful one, a man of parts, schooled and seasoned, in the prime of life and vigor, and over and above all, one whose life story is one that American man hood honors and American youth is urged to emulate. A fine type of the self made man is John W. Tyndall. Born in a log cabin in Adams county forty three years ago, he has passed through the grades of student, teacher, and business man, and has done all things with honor and credit. He ; was a school teacher at seventeen, and later was graduated in science and classics at Valparaiso Normal college. He served eight years as surveyor of Adams county four > ears as civil engineer of Decatur, and in all his official career it was his pride that no property owner ever questioned his work. Such a record for accuracy in that line of work is unusual, and John W. Tyndall is probably the only man in Indiana who can make the boast. But he doesn't boast. He is now simply a plain business man, withal a successful one, and has added to his scholarly attainments a thorough knowledge of business, of men and affairs. Such men as he are n<*eded in the general assembly, and the people of Indiana will profit. by their presence there. John W. Tyndall will tie a worthy successor to that wonderful human engine of energy and strength, that paragon of intellectual force and bodily activity Mr. Stephen B. Fleming. It will be hard for any one to fill Mr. Fleming's place, but 1 the democracy of the joint district, 1 in seeking out. a Inan f,, r fj l( , j x)si tion, seems to have lieen unerringly guided in alighting upon John W o Tynda 11.-Fort Wayne Journal! t Gazette.

SENATORIAL resolutions. k We the democrats of Allen and Adams oountes, in joint senatorial , convention assembed, affirm our , allegiance to the principles of the democratic party. We believe as a fundamental prin- } ciple of government, that the , people as the source of power are , capable of local self government and wo condemn the republican legislatures for forcing upon the city of Fort Wayne officers with out the voice of the }x>ople being 3 heard in their selection. t We condemn the state board of tax commissionres for increasing i the valaution of farm property, t especially in Adams and Allen t counties, far in execss of their just > valuation in proportion to other • property in the state, while they at - the same time reduced the valua- ’ tion of railroads and other corporate I projx'rty. i> We are in favor of a strict oon- ■ sruotion of the constitution of the ■ state of Indiana iu regard to the i passage by the legislature of special laws governing cities and we denounce the act of the last legislature in the passage of the apportionment law whereby they districted the , state for legisaltive purposes so as to virtually disfranchise fifty thousand democrats in the election of the leigslative the object and purpose of which was to foist upon the people leigslation in favor of trusts and monopolies and the election of a United States senator. We are in favor of the election of a United States senator by popular vote. We deplore the condition of the present national administration, in relation to it scandals in every department, and its corruptions of officers and official dishonesty in every branch of the government, the extent of which has never been known in the world before. ; | We congratulate the people of the twelfth district in having as a representative in congress, the Honorable James M. Robinson, who is, and has been during all the time he has represented that district, the representative of the people and not the instrument of corporate 1 greed, trusts and monopolies. Wa commend the action of our members of the legislature, senators and representatives in the firm stand they made in behalf of their constituencies in the sitxy-third general assembly.

All loafers must inspect the books, look over the billing instructions and read all personal correspondence pertaining to private R R. business. 4. When entering this office, if all books are not in the sight, the ! loafers should demand them a once. The agent or operator will produce them. They are employed to wait upon loafers. 5.

THE HOLTIIOL’SE DRUG CO’S CONFIDENCE IN HYOMEI. Not <i Penny Need be Paid Unless it Cures Vou of Catorrh. ’ ‘Use Hyomei and be cured of catarrh,'* say The Holthouse Drug Co. When a responsible business house like this comes out and advertises that Hyomei will not costa penny unless it does all that is I claimed for it, it shows what remarkable confidence they have in this scientific medical treatment. A oompjeie Hyomei ontfit consists of a nea, inhaler that can be carried in the pocket or purse, a medicine dropper and a bo<tle of Hyomei, and costs but sl. The inhaler lasts a lifetime and when extra bottles of Hyomei are needed they can be obtained for 50c. This treatment does away with all disagreeable and dangerous stomach dosing. Breathed through the Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four times a day. it impregnates every jiarticle of air taken into the air passages and lungs with germ-killing and health-giving talsatns. In this way it cures the most ehronic and deepseated catarrhal diseases of the air passages and respiratory organs. The user is the sole judge whether Hyomei is to be paid for or not. If it does not help, The Holthouse Drug Co. will cheerfully return the money and it will not cost a penny. Dr. Canada Tuesday. Hot Claret at Burt House Case.

Feb. 26.—The State Board of Health in its next bulletin will instruct the health officers to obtain all the data possible as to the suifering that tuberculosis causes. The information is to be used in an attempt to show the people in a new way the evils of the disease and lead them to join with the health officers in efforts to stamp it out. This will be an entirely new thing in the statistics ot the health board of Indiana, whose system has a national reputation for excellence. Under the system now in use the health officer records the number of children made orphans by tuberculosis, but does not attempt to study the disease turther as a problem of sociol-1 ogy. The health officers will be instructed to watch the places in which tuberculosis is most prevalent, to study the manner in which the people look on the disease and to learn whether there is any knowledge that the disease is preventable. Whether the people of a community will accept the late scientific tacts about the disease will also be noted. The course of tuberculosis in families will be wa’ched to note the bus ceptlbility of certain people. While tuberculosis is not hereditary as was formerly supposed, it is held that susceptibility to the ailment is handed down from generation to generation. Beneficiary Long Missing. Paoli, Ind., Feb. 26.—The death ol Tilda Shaw, which occurred here reveals the fact that she made a will naming as beneficiary a niece who mysteriously disappeared from here twelve years ago, and who has not since been heard from. The niece was Miss Mamie Shaw a girl of remarkable beauty. Her disappearance was . shrouded in mystery. No trace of her has ever been found, and she is thought by many to be dead.
