The campaign in Adams county will soon be on. The headquarters are being arranged, and before the end of another week w ill be ready to entertain every mothers’ son who wishes to aid the cause of democracy in winning a victory. The retirement of Hon. David B Hill from political activity is a distinct loss to the democratic party, and to the nation. He is a great -tatesman. and during the last fifty years has played a prominent part in the political history of the country. The Adams county democrats will be numerous and plenty at the congressional convention next Wednesday. Plans are being developed to furnish the banner delegation, and head the same with a brass band. Everybody should make up his mind now to join the procession. Indiana is showing f every symptom of a democratic victory this fall. It will be a battle ground, and the democrats will fight long and hard to redeem lost laurels. The outlook is exceedingly encouraging and with every democrat doing his duty as a democrat, success is assured, Topn Taggart says the way to win it is to get the votes. Let's get them. The congressional convention at Portland next Wednesday will signal the opening of the campaign in the eighth district. Many noted speakers will be there and the occasion will be made one of state importance. There are two candidates seeking the convention honors, and the contest bids fair to be real and exciting. Adams county will be well represented, they being disposed to furnish the largest delegation.

Under the big tent tonight will be presented for the first time in Decatur the celebrated western comedy-drama, “A Colorado Judge,” by the Twin Sisters De Lacour Dramatic Co., on the Teeple lot.

A play for the masses. A bargain show at bargain prices. New Britain Currency. Dewarra. a currency of New Britain, Is an instance of how the spoils of the chase may be turned to account as the outward and visible sign of wealth. Dewarra is made by stringing the shells of a dog whelk upon the ribs of palm leaves. These strings may be retailed at so much a fathom—usually the price Is equivalent to about three shillings a fathom length—or they may be made into various articles of personal adornment to be worn on great occasions. In New Britain the dewarra hoarded up by a rich man is produced at his funeral and divided among his heirs in much the same kind of way as personal property is divided among us. The Rife of the Snake. In Vai di Rosa. Italy, the serpent is a traditional terror, and the place is celebrated for a curious religious custom known as the rite of the snake.

Roosevelt and the Farmer. President Roosevelt once lived in the West and he afterward conceived the idea of glorifying the cowboy and bronco-buster in a book. That was a thing about which no one need concern himself, for it was merely a matter of taste, but when the writer took occasion to make invidious comparisons between his heroes and the quiet, sober and Industrious farmer and workingman, he presented an entirely different question. Here is the way he pictured the bronco-busters and farmers. mechanics and workingmen in his “Ranch Life and Hunting Trail,” 1 pages 9 and 10: “They are much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath.” With our own vast continent to be developed; with political and business corruption gnawing at our national life; with the gravest social and political internal problems pressing for solution ; with the foundations of the constitution undermined by lawless unions i on one side and lawless combines on the other; with law and order and pros- ] perity threatened by labor wars; with I the yeast of socialism and anarchy fermenting in the public mind; with ] 9.000,000 negroes to be educated and , fitted into some sort of tolerable liv- : ing relations with their white neigh- ; bors. you propose to divert the nation's ; thought and energy from the duties I that crowd upon It at home to a career . of rowdy adventure abroad.—From Pul- | itzer*s letter to President Roosevelt Among the visitors to Esopus during ! the week was George Foster Peabody, ] treasurer of the Democratic National ] Committee. He said Incidentally, that the first campaign contribution he received as treasurer was from an Episcopal clergyman over eighty years old. ’ The clergyman wrote that, while he I did not know whether he would live to vote ior Parker and Davis, he wanted to send a dollar bill, all he could afford, with the hope that the campaign fund would be made up of the dollars of a million voters, rather than the larger gifts of rich men

Among the salient features of the campaign, as It Is seen today, is the action of the Parker Constitution club of New lork. organised under very high auspices, many of whose members , were supporters of McKinley, but are now accentuating the demand for i “Constitutionalism versus Imperialism ” This is but one of many signs of a rising tide of popular enthusiasm for a return to the historic principles and traditions which lie deeply imbedded in the ..earts 01 the American people. The great newspapers of the country are flocking to the support of Judge Parker and there is little doubt but ! the Independent press of the country will be largely for him before the campaign closes. Among the Influential newspapers which supported McKinI ley but are now for Parker, are the Washington Post, the Baltimore Herald, the New York Herald, the New York Times, the New York Btaats-Zei-tung. the New York World, the Brooklyn Eagle and manv other equally ! influential publication*. - - Nutice. The board of commissioners in this manner desire to warn the pubi lie that herefter any one caught in the act of driving over the two ' bridges spanning the St. Marys river | faster than a walk will be pros- ; ecuted to the fullest extent of the | law. The brdges are old, and care should be taken to avoid accidents. Bjurd of Commissioners. 193d6&w
