Robert G. Ingersoll’s Vision Is Being Slowly Realized.

A vision of the future rises. I see our country filled with happy homes with firesides of content —<the foremost land of all the earth. •I see a world where thronges have crumbled and where kings are dust. The aristocracy of idleness has perished from the earth. I see a world without a slave. Man at last is free. Nature’s forces have by science been enslaved. Lightning and light, wind and wave, frost and flames, and all the secret, subtle powers of earth and air are the tireless toilers for the human race. a world at peace, adorned with every form of art, with music’s myriad voices thrilled, while lips are rich with words of love and truth—a world in which no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns; a world on which the gibbet’s shadow does not fall; a world when labor reaps its full reward, where work and worth go hand in hand, where the poor girl trying to win bread with the needel—the needle that has been called “the asp for the breast of the poor”—is not driven to the desperate choice of crime or death. I see a world without a beggar’s outstretched palm, the miser’s heartless, stony stare; the piteous wail of want, the livid lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn. I see a race without disease of flesh or brain—-shapely and fair, the married harmony of form and function—and, as 1 look, life lengthens, joy deepens, love canopies the earth, and over all, in the great dome, shines the eternal star of human hope.—Robert G. Ingersoll.

He -had started to walk to the home of his parents in East Chicago, and the train crew assert he appeared suddenly to determine upon suicide. • ■ - ■ - A Washington correspondent says an effort will soon be made to oust all republican postmasters who are editors, on the ground that 'a postmaster can not run, a newspaper without neglecting his official duties. There is dynamite in this for a lot of democratic editors with aspirations.

D. H. YEOMAN BUYS SPITLER-DAVISSON FARM

330 Ace Farm Sold At Auction At What Is Considered a Low Price. ■B ■ The 330 acre farm, four miles north of town, advertised to be sold, at public auction by Cr'G. Spitler and Harvey Davisson, was sold to D. H. Yeoman Thursday for $105.25 per acre. There were two other bidders, Frank Hoover and E. L. Hollingsworth. The land was considered worth at least $l4O per acre and will probably bring that price or better if put on the market at some future time. It is a part of the former W. R. Nowels farm and originally consisted of a little over 500 acres. Recently 80 acres off the rear end was sold to Amos Davisson for $125 per acre, and a little over 100 acres of which land was sold to Dr. F. A. Turfler for $l5O per acre. These two pieces have no improvements and were considered not to be worth near as much as the land sold Thursday, which is tiled and has buildipgs, and other improvements thereon. Spitler and Davisson bought the farm of Elbert Harris.

The Democratic Hope.

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News, whose loyalty to the present national administration no one will question, writes this significant message to his paper: “The members of the democratic congressional campaign committee are distinctly pleased with the announcement made by the progressive party leaders that Bull Moose candidates for the congress will be nominated in every district next year. The democrats are saying privately that if the progressives will only carry out this determination, another democratic house of representatives will be assured. The democratic view is that if the progressives Will get into next year’s congressional campaign in an energetic way, tiie new party, while it will not begin to make the showing it made in the presidential campaign last year, will draw enough votes from the republicans to make certain the election of a democratic house.” Here is a confession from -an aqthoratative source of just what a good many -honest progressives have evidently been suspencting, as is shown by their votes in. Michigan, Maine, New Jersey and elsewhere recently They see that the third party movement means only what these democrats in congress are now confessing—a means for putting aqd keeping a democratic administration in power, from president and congress down to -the humblest political office. They see that democrats regard the progressive party as a mounting block, without which they would never be able to vault into the saddle—a means to an end, a convenient tool to be laid away after using and brought out again when -required, an umbrella to protect them from the rain of political adversity, a doormat to be rolled up and put aside after they have walked into office over it, a ladder to be kicked over after -they have scaled the battlement, Notice the sublime nerve of the proposition. ‘The democratic view is that if the progressives will get into next year’s campaign in an energetic way, the new party, while it will pot begin to make the showing it made in the presidential campaign last year, will draw enough votes from the republicans to make certain the election of a democratic house.” In other words, these democratic congressmen say-: "We cannot promise you, dear friends, even the satisfaction of running second, but if you even run a bad third you will elect us, and that ought -to be glory enough for a third party. Mark too that you must be ‘energetic’ about it. Get busy, hold meetings, tap your baffl, sing songs and appeal to the people. But above all, don’t fall to nominate tickets. It helps to put us through and keep Our legs under the mahogany at Washington. In fact, you are our only hope.”

MANY TEACHERS AT ANNUAL INSTITUTE

Sessions Are Proving Instructive . and Teachers Say It is the Best Ever Held Here. One hundred and twenty-seven teachers are registered at the 'annual meeting of the Jasper county teachers’ association which has been held this week at high school building, which, by the way, affords a splendid meeting place and is another valuable use to which the large assembly room can be placed. The program has been carried out substantially as published and the instructors have all proven very able and the interest among teachers has been very appreciative. Many pronounce it the best institute ever held in this county. ; The Republican was unable to procure a correspondent to report, all the sessions this year and the report will be covered in a general way in a later issue. - The institute ends today.

Supreme Court to Decide The Porter Racing Matter.

Whether Governor Ralston was acting within his legal rights when he stopped racing at the Mineral Springs race track at Porter by sending the.troops there will be decided in the state supreme court, through an action to be brought by- the officials of the Mineral Springs Jockey Club. The action against the governor of Indiana is to be in the nature of a friendly suit, agreed to by the state’s chief executive and jAycalculated to settle for all thfflßrthe power of the governor to interfere in race track matters with the state troops.

Attorney A. F. Knotts, president of -the Mineral Springs Jockey Club, returned last week from Indianapolis, where he was in conference with the governor in regard to the proposed friendly suit. According to Attorney Knotts, -the governor is willing to enter into the suit to be filed against him in the supreme court of the state. The governor, however, insisted at the conference thqt Attorney Knotts reduce his proposition in writing. In the hope of bringing the matter before the supreme court at the earliest possible date, Attorney Knotts Thursday prepared iiis letter to the governor. The plan of the friendly spit is for the officials of the Mineral Springs Jockey Club to question the action of Samuel M. Ralston as an individual to send the troops to Porter. In this way the provisions of the Indiana -state law which prevents the governor of the state from being sued will be circumvented. The race track officials contend that if the court decides in their favor it will -settle for all time the question of th* right of the government of the state to send troops to any place for the purpose of stopping the holding of horse races,

Got Her Signals Mixed

“TiVhy are all the people flocking down to Jones’ barn?” asked the old farmer on the hay wagon. “Bill’s got a curosity down thar” chuckled the village constable. “That so? “What kind of a curosity?” Why Bill’s old mouse colored Jersey cow other night had the colic and Bill went down immediately with his lantern to give her a dose of medicine. Blamed if he didn’t make a mistake and give her a pint of gasoline." “Do tell, didn’t kiH her did it?” “No but by heck, It had a funy effect. Now instead of going “Moo-noo!” like any other sensible cow, she goes “Honle-Honk” like one of them thar blamed automobiles."

Lowell Man and His Dog Killed a Red Fox Recently.

Lowell Tribune. Elwood Lloyd, with the assistance of his beidle hound, killed a large red fox In West Creek township a few days ago. Mr. Lloyd was aroused from his slumbers by the barking of the dog and letting the dog out of doors, he went to sleep, and later, becoming somewhat alarmed at the dog’s absence, he went out to find him. He heard the dog barking and stationed himself where he thought whatever the dog was chasing would pass. He soon saw a large red fox coming toward him. He raised his gun and fired and wounded the fox so that after a fierce battle the dog was able to kill him. He skinned the fox and sold the pelt to B. F. Carlin, who will make a rug of it. The fox measured over four feet from tip to tip. It was a very old animal and put up a stiff fight. This is the red fox that has been killed in this country for several years. *

Eigelsbach Horse Found— Mystery About Its Release.

The sorrel mare belonging to J. J. Eigelsbach was found Thursday afternoon in a pasture belonging to Oscar Hauter, southeast of town, to which place it had probably wandered during Wednesday night. The finding of the horse does not clear up the mystery of its escape from the barn and the tot. Since this was the second time the horse had been released within the week, it seems quite certain that some one must have unlatched and opened the gate and also the stable door. As the animal is valued at $250, Mr. Eigelsbach was greatly relieved when she was found.

Rheumatism and Bright’s Disease Prof. Budlong Quickly Relieved of Both Afflictions by Using Rheumk. If you suffer from any form of Rheumatism, remember that Rheuma goes to work quickly to remove the cause, not simply to relieve the distress. Many years’ use has demonstrated that It goes to the seat of the disease and expels the poisonous matter through the natural channels—the kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. “For many years I was troubled with Rheumatism, also with brights disease of the kidneys. !■ suffered awfully. Tried many- advertised remedies. After using your truly remarkable preparation, RHEUMA, I was fully cured.”—Prof. C. J. Budlong, .Sound View, Conn. RHEUMA is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig, who sells it for 50 cents a bottle.
