PARKER of New York. For Vice-President HENRY G. DAVIS of West Virginia Dougherty and Kern say they are not to be considered in the race for the nomination for governor. The man for the place is Farmer Stevens of Lawrence county.— Columbia City Post. Paul Kruger four times president of the South African republic, and once the mightiest figure in the affairs of that end of the world, died today in exile at Clarens, Canton Vaud, Switzerland. He was nearly seventy nine years old. The New York Times one ot the most influential independent democratic newspapers, is supporting Parker. The Times has been against the Democrats for eight years, but not now. It is only one of a dozen other great journals that is right in 1904. A news item says that, John W. Kern, not being a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor is taken by some of the politicians to mean that he will t-e a candidate for United States Senator in case the Democrats carry the General Assembly this year. It has already been figured out that there were twenty thousand gold democrats in Indiana about five per cent of whom are now known republicans, and that the remainder of the twenty thousand will give loval support to the democratic nominees. No wonder the Cold dark shivers are trinkling down the spinal oohim n of the ambitious members of the g. o. p.

Several hundred German newspapers are read in Adams county every week, and of the four or five different publications that make up this number, they are a unit in support and commendation tor Alton B. Parker. This information has been veiified by several of our good honest German citizens. The Indiana g. o. p. have already been called into executive session to view with alarm the unfavorable Conditions ot their party in the state. Above all they fear Tom Taggart as national chiarman for in that event they say their compaign fund will look like thirty cents in comparison with that at the com mand of the unterrifled. If there is any one who knows Hie value of a campaign fund it is those who wrestle with the Indiana g. o. p. ship of state. The Washington, D. C., Post one of the most influential as well as one of the most conservative newspapers in the east, declares for Parker. The Post says that “Alton B. Parker is the safe man. Theodore Roosevelt is the dangerous man. The contrast is made between the judicial temperament the statesmanlike force of character of Judge Parker and the fiery impulsiveness of the rough rider. Can it be doubted which candidate will appeal the more strongly to the solid sense of the American people? Parker is guarantee of safety. Roosevelt is a danger. This will be a speaking campaign. All the noted Democratic orators will be heard on the stump. The list from outside of the State for Indiana will include John Sharp Williams, Senators Joe Bailey, John W Daniel, Carmack and Culberson William Jennings Bryan, Charles A. Towne, W. Bourke Cockran, George Gray, Richard Olney, Champ Clark. Judson Harmon, John G. Carlisle, Governor Beckham. Mayor Rose and many others. The Democrats have the advantage in issues and oratory. Republicans have no one comparable to Bryan, Cockran and Towne. —Sentinel.

LOTS OF THEM Cement Walks Seem to be the Thing in the City. Mr. Davis the cement side walk man is about the busiest person in town, having his hands full of contracts which will keep him steadily at work for at least a month to come. For the past two days he has been completing the walk in front of C. D. Murray's place and in front of this office, and from hefe he goes into the square just south and builds a side walk from the James Stone corner up to and including Everett & Hites. From there Mrs. Davis will move his tools to the Burt House square where he will put in a walk and from there into the Niblick square where he will complete the one he started to the alley. Mr. Davis has put in a number of walks already in the city on fourth street and at the Murray Hotel and all giving perfect satisfaction and when all are completed will make our main street look very attractive. This is the only kind of walk and all our business men should own one. STILL IMPROVING. The condition of both Ex-com-missioners Henry Holbrock and Jacob Yager is much improved today and all indications now point for the best. Mr. Yager rested very well last night which is the first time during his illness and seemed much refreshed this morning. Dr. Miller his physician states that he is much encouraged over the outlook today. Mr. Hobrock is steadily regaining his strength and is now apparently out of danger. Additional Locals.

Wayne a g<x>d time is being had. According to the Columbia City Post. Tom Railing is playing short stop for that team and putting up a very credible game. The first game he played in he had two errors but playing with a strange team makes some difference and we are sure Tom will make good. He is hitting the ball for this team at a lively rate.
