Specialists have been trying to ascertain the cause of recent ill health but have so far failed, it is understood, to agree upon a diagnosis. ‘ Willis J. Abbott, formerly one of William J. Bryan’s most confidential friends and his publicity agent, predicts that John W. Kern, of Indiana, will be nominated by the democrats for president at Baltimore next month. Mr. Abbott is a political expert of wide reputation.

The regular # freight handlers in Chicago, who left their work on a strike ten days ago, yesterday proposed to return to their work, pending arbitration of their grievances, but each road-affected declared that the places of the men have been permanently filled.

All the great industrial machines will be depicted in motion and during the progress of each the very intricate parts jvill be explained in an\ entertaining lecture by a graduate of i Purdue university. Over 3,000 feet of i film will be used, showing harvesting machinery in action, the chemical process of 'welding, had other mechanics of importance. This attraction is of the educational sort add comes well recommended. It is billed for Lafay- | ette tonight County Clerk Preston, of Monticello, is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Rosa I. - Gardner, of Thomas, Okla., asking him to remove a marriage ll- | cense from the White county records ' that had been granted her and Chas. 1 F. Gros. She went on to state that she ' had formerly lived in Oklahoma, and ' while there had wedded a man by the , name of Blue. The union not being a I happy one, she had come to Indiana i and went to clerking in her uncle’s i store. The report came to her that ■ Blue had secured a divorce, and on the strength of this report the license in question was secured. Later she re--1 turned to Oklahoma and learned that ' Blue had not secured the divorce, be- ! ing unable to learn her residence and ' give her legal notice. So she wanted ' this Indiana license canceled and 1 not want it to stand on the books. Investigation shows that the license . to Gluts. F. €froa and Rosa T. Gardner , Was issued September 28, 1907, and \ they were united in marriage by Rev. t F. A. Morrow, formerly of Wolcott, but now engaged in the mercantile r business at this place. In making application for the license Rosa says under oath that she had never been married. The case looks sort of cloudy jfoar her. '

Harry Green, the well known showman, stopped off between trains, enroute from -Cincinattl to his home in Chicago, to make a social call on J. H. S. Ellis. For the past several years he has headed the Eli and Jane company, but that has been closed and he> will appear here in August in “The Town Fool,” about which he has been talking for the past four years and which he had been deferring because the people still called for more of his “Eli and Jane.” Harry Green is an old circus clown, but gave up the stunt many years ago when some told him he was a whole show by himself. Since then he has been tryin to make everybody believe it and has got by In good fashion.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT ARE FIGHTING IT OUT.

Rivalry is Intense in Ohio and Beth Candidates are Claiming Ultimate Victory. President Taft and Theodore Rooseyent are going all over Ohio in special trains this weelt, setting forth their claims for" republican nomination for presidency and incidentally taking an occasional fall out of each other whenever a good opportunity seems to present itself. Both are meeting great crowds of people in all the cities in which they speak and each claims great confidence in seeing sufficient votes to nominate when the national convention is held in Chicago next month. Taft’s managers claim that be has 533 pledged or instructed delegates at this time. That is only seyen short of thu number required to nominate an*’ he expfects to get thirty in Ohio, his home state. Roosevelt claims to hive more than 500 now and a certainty of enough more to nominate him. The people throughout the nation are deploring the bitterness of the rivalry and many whfT~are extremely partisan in their preference between the two men are hoping that a compromise can be chosen.

'4 Justice Hughes, former governor of New York, is the man generally conceeded to be equal to the task of winning if nominated. The Ohio delegates will be chosen next Monday. ,That will practically determine the result as between the two candidates. Ohio is also being tramped over by the democratic candidates and their workers and there is some warm rivalry in jthe democratic ranks also, but it looks like the light from a firefly compared to the big blaze the republicans have started.

D. L. Halstead Enjoying Sojourn in Redlands, Cal.

Redlands, Cal. 114 West Palm Aye. Publishers Republican: We, Mrs. Lucy M.cCoombs, Mrs. Florence Clark; of Lafayette, and myself, landed here Monday evening at 7:30, having left Rensselaer on Saturday, April 27tfi, about 3:30 p. m. We came over the C. B. & Q. Ry. from Chicago to Denver. From Denver to Ogden, Utah,_pver the D. & R. G. Ry., and the rest of the way over the S. P. Ry„ being the most sceqic route in the United States, and we stopped over about 24 hours at each of our stopovers, at Colorado arid Manitou Springs, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Les Angeles. We also stopped forty minutes in Denver, long enough to go through the state house and see the court bouse and some other places of interest. Redlands is strongly republican. Twenty-five years ago is was nearly all democratic. Many residents came here from the east. Yesterday afternoon we listened to a good speech by Ex-Senator A. J. Beveridge, of Indiana, and think he preached nothing but the truth. Under separate cover we are sending you some Redlands’ literature. Expect to start back to Rensselaer on May 22nd. ’ Sincerely yours, D. L. HALSTEAD.
