Hon. Syndeyß. Moon of Portland spentfseveral hours in the city today, and without any desire to pump a little "hot air" we must confess that he is one of the Indiana democrat* whom the state may be glad she honored. He is ever and at all times a democrat of the brand that votes the ticket regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. In the present campaign Mr. Moon Jhas alligned him self with the Hearst movement.and in doing so he has nothing but the welfare of the democratic party at heart, having passed the stage of working the game for personal or selfish motives. His arguments, we must any, have many convincing points, and this connected with his personality will make the Hearst boom in Indiana realistic in more ways than one.

FATALLY HURT Twelve-Year-Old Boy Near Berne Kicked by a Horse. The 12 year year old son of Newton Smitley east of Berne is in a critical condition since Sunday evening when he received a very bad kick from a horse, says the Berne Witness. He was engaged in watering the horses and while following one back to its stall he received a kick on his forehead above the left eye and on his nose. His skull was cut open to the brain and the bones of the nose were badly broken. He was completely unconscious until a physician from Berne arrived and removed part of the fractured skull and dressed the wound. His condition is quite serious and it is feared that he Jmay not recover. The horse had been newly shod and it is a wonder that he was no instantly killed.

BALMY SPRING First Real Breath ol Warmness Has Arrived. Spring seems to have arrived on schedule time. Yesterday was March 21st, the date which every almanac and calendar denotes as the day when this delightful season of the year breaks forth in all the glory of her green gown, and after such a winter in comes as a positive jov. The weather man's card « i yesterday morning showed the ' temperature to be near the freezing mark but the mercury rose steadily until this morning when it stood forty degrees higher. The air was warm, actually Jwarm and heavy underwear seemed a burden,but we advise you not too change Jto quickly as the format for today and tomorrow blasts the hope that we shall feel no more the winter cold—it I says— ‘rain and colder..'

DO YOU KNOW That the supposed murderer, McDonald, has learned that silence is not only golden, but safe. That the puncture less tire is on the market, and that it will remain so till it comes in contact with the small end of a tack. That the president and apostles of the Mormon church show in. theory and practice that faith and works go together. That the two women of lowa, who are sueing one man on the charge of hugging, may be doing so, not on the ground of insnlt, but because it was too promiscuous.
