Dispatches now indicate that Senator Fairbanks will be the nominee of his party and that by acclamation. It cannot be gain-said that in this the senior senator has played a good game of politics and one that has enhanced his chances of being the presidential nominee in 1908. Many Indiana newspapers are doing themselves proud by their exhaustive reports of the republican national convention, now in the height of its glory at Chicago. The convention is tame, and were it not for the enterprise displayed by the press, the endeavors of the g. o. p. to hold a national convention would failjo excite any interest.

WAS CAPTURED ■ i Crazy Man Taken at Geneva Escaped From Grant County Jail.— Officers Here Today to Take Him Back. Frank Bolen, a crazy man is ‘being held at Geneva and Marion officers were here today enroute to Geneva where they will secure the man. The story of his escape from the Grant county jail yesterday is told in the following despatch from Marion Frank Bolen, a business man of this city, who has caused the officers much trouble for two years by periodical fits of insanity, made a successful dash for liberty last night while sitting on the porch in front of the jail where he has been confined for two months awaiting admission to the hospital for the insane at Richmond. Last night Bolen and the guard took a walk. When they returned Mrs. i Bolen and her sister drove up in a buggy to visit Bolen. The sister stayed in the buggy to hold the horse. A patrol wagon full of prisoners stopped at the jail and when the sheriff and his deputies were re-' ceiving the prisoners Bolen leaped into the buggy struck the horse and . was soon in the country. Two ( deputies started in pursuit but the chase of six miles resulted in the deputies being distanced. This morning the sister was located at a | farm house nine miles oast of Marion where Bolen had placed her in charge of a farmer. , NUT VALUES. Chestnuts are starchy and take the place of potatoes. Brazil or cream nuts are very rich in fat and should be blended with pecans. English walnuts or hazelnuts. ' Black and white walnuts a» well as hickory nuts contain nitrogen and oil, but no starch. Blend with rice or potatoes. Cocoanuts contain very little nitro gen, but are rich in oil. The fiber la difficult of digestion. The cream and milk are excellent for aalads and sauces. Peannts are very rich in nitrogen and contain considerable starch and oil. When boiled and mashed they are much better than when roasted and ground. Almonds are really digesters or appe- ' tizers. They are too expensive to be used alone in large quantities. Four or five thoroughly masticated at the end of a meal will frequently aid in the digestion of other foods.—Ladies' Home Journal. The Man and the Mat eh. "Show me two men with unlighted cigarettes, and if I watched them for a minute I can tell you correctly wheth- 1 er the one who has the match Is from Philadelphia, Boston or New York.” The speaker was a person of some observation, and his friend naturally asked: I

"How can you tell?” “In this way,” said the observant man. "If the man Is a Philadelphian he will strike the match, hold it for his friend to get a light, then take a light himself and throw the match away. If he la a Bostonian be will light bls own cigarette first, then hold the match for his friend and after that throw it away. If he is a New Yorker, however, be will strike the match, light bls own cigarette and throw tbs match away."—Philadelphia Press Very Versatile. Stage Manager—l think you ait t trifle too stout to play Romeo. Heavy Tragedian—Why, my good man, I could play the pnrt of an Infant In arms! Art has no limitations, sir.— New York Times. Physicians are constantly discovering some popular pastime or mode of attire that injures health. But the average of human life remains about the same.—Washington Star. A man of business may talk of philosophy; a man who has none may practice It—Tope.
