PORTER HENRY BTETLER For Councilmen—Third Ward PETER GAFFER PETER KIRSCH The Fort Wayne News is deeply I and acutely grieved over the unpardonable trust record ot the next state senator from Adams-Allen counties. This is appreciated all the more because of the fact that the News never supported 'a candidate for any legislative office unless i that candidate wore the collar and cuffs of the g. o. p. trusts. The joke is real funny here among the friends of Mr Tyrdall who know his independence in thought and action, and his thorough democratic tendencies. His business is Hot tied to any trust and he is the last person on earth to wear other people’s callico. Os course the News has made a great poltical hit in miming him as the great and holy thou in the “tile trust,” a trust that only exists,at least so far as Mr. Tyndall is concerned, in the office of the Fort Wayne News. They accuse the Democrat of indulging ~in “unquotable profanity” a charge both grave and serious, and one too that demands prompt action by the health officers, as the contagion is sure to develop an epidemic.

A FIME SHOW.rG. Wil; be Made by Democrats In th. Coming Spring Elections. Indianapolis. March 15.—The state committees are not paying much attention to the spring elections as party lines are not being closely drawn, yet there is always more or less interest in a political contest. At the spring elections two years ago the Democrats won in Anderson. South Bend and other Republican strongholds and they are expecting to maintain their hold. The Democrats have been making gains in the municipalities for some time as was evident from the result here last fall when Mayor Holtzman knocked out the Bookwaiter Republican machine. While it is conceded that the result of the spring elections, which will take place May 6, will not have much bearing on the campaign, still each party is anxious to make a good showing in order that the workers may be encouraged and for whatever advantage it will give in controlling the machinery next fall. There is especial interest in the outcome at South Bend for Mayor Fogarty who as a candidate for re election announced that he would be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor if he is made mayor again.

The Marion county Republican convention which is next to the state convention in size and importance will probably be held about the first week of May. All the nominations will bo made by the old delegate system Two years ago the Republicans nominated by direct vote and the political grafters are said to have reaped the richest harvest they had ever known. The direct vote system is in bad odor in this county even among the people who delight to call themselves reformers. There will be some red hot contests for the state senate. Col. Wm. E. English, who one time represented this district in congress, having been elected by the Democrats and whose father was on the ticket for vice-pres-ident in 1880, is a candidate for one of the Marion county seats in the senate and Roscoe O. Hawkins, late applicant for the federal judgship here, is also a candidate. Colonel James S. Dodge of Elkhart who was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1900 and who is also well known among the Grand Army men of the state, is here as an attorney in the Elkhart bank failure cases before Judge A. B. Anderson, which, by the way, are ittrading much attention Col. T> lire says that the Elkhart county del ation to the state convention will be pretty evenly divided between Wm. L. Taylor of this city and Judge Penfield of Auburn. Hanly. he declares, has some friends in Elkhart county but so far as he knows none of them are on the delegation He believes that if there is a deadlock between Taylor and Hanly that Penfield will stand a fine chance. Penfield is now In Washington arranging his affairs so he may come home until after the state convention. Wife Mu-der and Suicide. Great Bend, Kan., March 15.—Herman Remert. a farmer living near Keizer. while temporarily insane, killed his wife and then himself.

. CONFIDING WOMAN She Intrusts Money to Stranger ano He and ii Buili Disappear. Clairvoyant at Wabash Works a Well Worn Game on a Too Trustful Woman. 3he Wanted to Double Her Money and He Knew How to Do It Wabash, Ind., March 15.—1 n her desire to multiply the little sum <ssoo) which she realized from the sale of property after the death of her husband recently, Mrs. Lee Porter lost all she had as a result of a talk with James Terroll, a stranger who came to Wabash and advertised himself as a clairvoyant.
