Newsy News Notes From Monon’s Newsy Newspaper.

—A barn belonging to Charles Chrson, northeast of town, was deajroyeih by fie Friday morning at 1 o’clock. Two horses were burned, one of them a stallion on which a policy for SBOO in the Ohio and Indiana Live Stock Insurance Co. had expired a few days previous. Other contents, including harness, grain and hay, were lost. The barn was insured for SBOO in one of Fred Thomas’ agencies. How the fire originated is unknown and it was not discovered until too late to save anything. Mr. Carson estimates his loss at $3,000. George W. Perkins,' multi-million-aire, and said to be financial manager of the Roosevelt campaign, was in conference with Dr. Coffin, progressive district chairman, in Monticello one day last week, . ' • .. The News enters upon its 25th year of publication with this issue. That it holds an honorable place of recognition among country newspapers is attested by the liberal patronage it is receiving. The subscription list is practically on a cash basis and new subscriptions are being added daily with seldom a stop. The News takes pride in claiming the largest number of country correspondents of any paper in Northern Indiana published outside of a couty seat, with but few rivals in the latter. To this feature we attribute much of the paper’s popularity with the reading public, and for this reason our best efforts will continue to make it still better. With Ex-Senator Fairbanks yesterday for the republicans, Montaville Flowers for the progressives today, and Samuel M. Ralston for the democrats tomorrow, Monticello is having a diversified feast of campaign oratory. The Burnettsville News quotes Rev. A. L Martin, progressive candidate for representative, as saying in a recent speech at that place, that he would rather see Theodore Roosevelt crowned king of the United States during life than see either of the old parties in power. Mr. Martin seems to be going some. The deceptiveness of over-confidence in a campaign, was illustrated in a certain candidate for office in this county. In a council of war the night before election, he said, “Boys, I know where I can get three more votes by going to Big Creek' township, but I don’t need them —my election is certain.” When the ballots were counted this same candidate’s opponent had over 300 majority.
