No i opposition to Congressman Robison , is likely to come to the surface and ( his nomination by acclamation will occur. Congressman Robison s career in congress is one in which the twelfth district may be proud. < Amid appropriate ceremony the , Indiana building at the World s Eair was dedicated Fri«lay. The governor and staff, members of i the Indiana commission together i with many hoosiers were present f to pay their respects to such an j important occasion. The building is an architectural gem and reflects i great credit upon Jthe greatest and ; grandest state in the union. I Illinois has at last nominated a republican candidate for governor he being ,the Hon. Charles 8. Deneen of Chicago. This result came after a series of conferences '■ among the candidates, and ends one 1 of the mo st remarkable deadlocks I ever witnessed It has left a foul taste in the mouth and will keep the g. o. p. managers busy to election day, smoothing out the ' wrinkles j < Major Menzies, one of the delegates at large to the democratic na tional convention at St. Louis, is ; stuck on the Phillipine plank adopted by the Maryland democrats.

Major Menzies is one of the many bright Indiana democrats and is safe and conservative upon all questions of public importance. Notice.

"There is one carious thing connected with fireS.” said a thoughtful man. "and that is the fact that while the fireman is always a hero in the public estimate and while men and women have ail kinds of admiration for these brav- fellows they yet want to see them get the worst of it in the fight against the flames. It is an interesting fact that the average man and wontan are not at all anxious to see the firemen get the fire under control. They would much rather see the flames spread un til the affair developed into an im mense conflagration. Mind you. ths trait is not at ail vicious. There is no malice in it it is simply the love of excitement and adventure, things that 1 are so deep rooted in human nature ' that we may not control them at will. i Besides, we want to develop our heroes to the limit. We want our fire-1 men to fight a good fight against long odds and under great difficult:*" We cannot quarrel with this feeling in the tinman makeup. After all, !t is what one may call the poetry of human nature, and without It this old system of ours would be dull and prosaic indeed. Os course, you will always find a few persons around a fire who are directly concerned in the fight the firemen are making. They want to see the flames put out. In the ce«e of some of the speetaters it means bread and meat It means the loss of a position or maybe the loss of home. But I was speaking of the rast majority of men and women who gather to witness a fire. The flre is the thing with them. They want to see a big blaze and bear the crash of the walls and all that sort ol thing. Did you ever take the trouble to analyze a fire crowd? In the first place an alarm of fire will draw a cro rd quicker than anything in the world. Whenever the bells begin to clang and the engines go rushing down the street you will see men, women aud children rushing this way and that In order to see as much as may be seen of the fire and tire fighters. Tt.e hour of day or night does not make so much difference. The crowd will get there in some way and for some reason, though the great majority of the persons have no sort of interest other than idle curiosity. Once on band, they want to see a good fire, and that’s why I say they want to see the flames get the best of the firemen. They will go away and talk about what a game fight the fire laddies made. Human nature Is a curious thing, is It not?”—New Orleans Time*-Democrat. A Hme Apiece. First Comedian—l know somethin; awfully funny. Second Comedian— Wbat is it? First Comedian—Why, I was held up by a highwayman last night. But the joke was on him. I told him there was no use searching me as my wife had been through my pockets just five minutes before. Second Comedian—But I don't see that the joke was on him. It was on you. First I Comedian—No. you’re wrong. It wasn't on either of us. It was on my wife There wasn’t any money In my pockets to begin with I—Detroit Free Press. What DM He Wsatt A certain professor .s a »?ry absentminded man.
