Goodrich is not only willing, but rather anxious t > serve a third term us chairman of the republican state committee. Mr. Goodrich works without ho]»e of other reward than the consciousness of having dene the right and | patriotic thing, and as his work has certainly been efficacious be will have with him in his ambition the best wishes of thousands of Icyal republic ms all over Indiana —Fort j Wayne News. ----- William Whitridge, chief of the small tribe at Decatur, who have been predicting the end of the earth during this month, says that in all probability God has changed his plans and will let the earth move | ou a few days. William must have got hold of an old schedule when he made his prediction. If Providence entrusted him with such important information as the close if business of this terrest ial ball it seems peculiar that he didn't I get any more reliable information j as to the time than a railroad operator gives out in the blackboard I about train time. — Huntington Her-' aid.
