Roosevelt and Associates Declare for Straight Ticket—Teddy Wavers on N. T. Governorship. Oyslter Bay, N. Y., June 25.—Theodore Roosevelt and his leading associates Anally settled questions which, it is felt, (Will decide the fate of the progressive party in New York state thiis fall. After Lt was all over Colonel Roosevelt made a Statement setting forth their decisions. Here are the main points: There will be no fusion in Now York state. A straight progressive ticket will be put in the held. District Attorney Charles S. Whitman, oif New York, who has been talked of ais a possible nominee of both the republican and progressive parties was repudiated by 001. Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt’is nomination for the governorship is being urged upon him by virtually all the progressive leaders to srpite of his repeated statement that he would not run. The leaders said they still had hopes. Today the eolonel declined to deny again that he would run. Almost alii of Col. Roosevelt's A rat day at home after his trip to Europe was given over to politics, and he expects to have little time for anything else for the next four months. Not only did he talk today with the New York state leadera but he want into the political situation in three other states. William Draper Lewis, progressive candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, spent an hour at Sagamore Hill and outlined conditions in his State. ' Prom Ohio came Walter Brown, state chairman. Louisiana was represented in the person of John M. Parker, state chairman.

Militia Equipment Being Moved to Nowels House Block.

The equipment for the local mil* iifcia company is being movod from the K. o.f P. building to the Nowels house block, where it will be arranged in the old dining room. There will Ibe space left for the drilling of recruits land one or two squads. The cause of removal was the demand of the present owner of the building that more rent ibe paid for the old quarters. It is not known ait ithis time what disposition will be made of the former anrtory quarters, but it has been stated that the owner has received an offer for the entire bunding exclusive of the ipostofflce if he can get it vacated. The Knights Pythias and Masonic lodges are located on the third floor of the building. Each pays $125 per year rent They have been asked to pay S3OO per year and it is probable that neither can afford to do so. The rent was raised on the Princess theatre also. The building has not been a paying one, owing to the great exipense of heating, and it is doubtful whether the present owner, who is J. M. Shafer, of Plymouth, will .be able to succeed in his Scheme of rent advancement The militia company will need better quarters if it Is to continue to exist and there seems to be nothing available at this time. Temp or*' ary quarters onily have been secured and unless something better shows up it will become necessary to muster the company out by fall or sooner.

We have an excellent line of gasoline engines.—Hamilton & Kellner.

BASEBALL GAME AT GOODLAND SUNDAY

Athletics -to Play Newton County Lads—Same Old Line-Up But It’s Good Enough. . The Athletics will play ball at Goodland Sunday. The bills which have been used to advertise the game states that at has been learned on “good authority” that Rensselaer will have A practically new team for the game. Nothing is (further from the cfact. Rensselaer will be right over there with the same old team and they are some team, too. hast Sunday at Delphi they played against one of the swiftest semi-pro infields that it was possible to get together. Delphi hired ball players from Indianapolis, Logansport, Purdue, Wabash College and a few other places, but Rensselaer played the “home boys” and they ran the imported team a neck and neck race. We have never considered Goodland invincible, and in fact, they have lost games to the Danville Grays, the Peru Specials and other teams and since Rensselaer played ia better game with Delphi at Delphi than the Logansport Ottos did iat Logansport, it can easily be doped out that our home team is (fast, clever and good enough without going out into the market for players. Rensselaer will go into Sunday’s game with the following line-up: Wilcox, catcher; Clarke pitcher; Swartzell, first has ii'Hatton, second base; Eldridge or Robinson, third base; Morgan, shortstop; Elder, dark, Beebe, Parks, Bristow, as fielders and utility men. The team will probably be followed by a large delegat-'on to Goodland and they can expect to see Rensselaer in fine form and prepared to contest every inch of the game.

CLAFLIN DRY GOODS CO. GOES TO WALL

Failure of New York Firm, Greatest in U. S. History, Affects All n Parts of the Country. New "fork, June 25.—The biggest mercantile failure in the history of the United States was precipitated today when receivers were appointed for H. B. Claflin company of .this city. The company, it is estimated, owes more than $30,000,000, which at the present time it is unable to pay. Its assets are said to be $44,000,000. John Clafliin, head of the company, and its chief individual stockholder, is the owner of a chain of nearly thirty other dry goods enterprises throughout the country which are involved in the failure Receivers for several of these were named today and similar action, it was announced, would.be taken in the case of the rest. Their business will -be continued under receivers until their financial affairs have been adjusted. From 3,000 to 5,000 banks in all parts of the United States compose (the bultk of the Olafliin creditors. They hold notes aggregating the major part of the liabilities. These notes are said to have been issued by the various stares endorsed by H. B. daft in Co. and the proceeds used when discounted in financing their needs.

MOODY INSTITUTE TO ESTABLISH CHAUTAUQUA

Rumor That It Has Taken Option On Monon Picnic Grounds— May Rival Winona Lake. i , Crown Point Stair. It is reported that the Moody Bible Institute, with headquarters in Chicago, have recently taken an option on ithe Monon picnic ground at Ced/air Lake, and the religious organization may within a short time buy the property from the Monon railroad company. •It is said that if the purchase is accomplished that a great Chautauqua on the plan of Winona Lake will be made there next season. The tract of latnd has been owned by the railroad for years past, but since the Sunday 'picnics were discontinued and the burning of the Mtonon hotel early this season the road has derived no Anancial beneAtt from it and it will not be surprising if the Moody Bible Institute takes it over. A Chautauqua there during each summer would boost the west side of the lake, wlhidh has gone about begging for •business since (the picnics ceased and the burning of the hotel and other business buildings. The automobile traAic has put the greater share of the business (In the east side now, spring chicken dinners being the chief attraction.

PAY TAXES ON DAY BEFORE ELECTION

Democrats Realise What An Effort It Will Have in Removing Thun From Management. Indianapolis, Ind., June 25.—The troubles of the democratic machine leaders of Indiana multiply. Some “forward looking* individual discovered today that the last day for the payment of the fall installment of taxes in Indiana falls on the day before the November election. This caused a shudder to run up and down the spinal cords of the democratic state candidates and their most active supporters. One democratic .politician who was greatly exercised over this discovery iwhich is expected to have a highly important bearing on the voting in Indiana, offered the suggestion that an effort be made to induce Governor Ralston to call the legislature in special session for the purpose of postponing the taxpaying limit until after election. “Great Scott!” exclaimed this democrat. “Won’t the taxpayers of Indiana who are compelled to pay a good stiff advance in their 'taxes because of the last democratic legislature raising the state tax levy be in a great frame of mind to go lo the polls on the following date and vote the democratic ticket? I ifor one Wish that the taxpaying limit fell on any other day in the year than on the day before election.” The members of the republican State committee only smiled when their attention was called to thig ifadt. The republican campaign speakers intend to make life miserable for the democratic machine leaders with' their expose of the_ reckless extravagance of the democratic management of the state’s 'financial affairs. After the taxpayers of the state have heard something bf the wonderful ease with which the democratic machine has created needless, expensive jobs .for the faithful ahd have heard something of the ease with, which the democrats have increased at a startling rate the ordinary running expenses of the state government they will he face to face, on the day before election, with concrete proof of the republican contention that Indiana’s fiscal affairs have been woefully and extravagantly mismanaged by the democratic machine administration.

WILSON PREDICTS PROSPEROUS ERA

In Addressing Virginia Editors, He Promises Boom in Business Heretofore Unprecedented. Washington, June 25.—Under a “new constitution of freedom” for business given by anti-trust legislation soon to be passed by congress, President WilScn today promised the country the greatest business boom in its history. This was the president’s Anal answer to the opponents of trust legislation at this session of congress and to prophets of evil times, delivered with determined expression and every word emphasized with a clenched Aist. “We know wihat we are doing, said Mr. Wilson, ‘Jive propose to do it under the advice, for we have been fortunate enough to obtain the advice, of mien Who understand the business of the country; and we know that ithe effect is going to be exactly whait the effect of the currency (reform was, a sense of relief and isecurity." The president spoke ito a group of Virginia editors in the east room of the white house, but his assurances were intended for the country. A military aide in full dress uniform stood beside him and there was every indication that the speech was meant to be one of the most important of the administration. News of the failure of the H. B. Cla Ain company ip New York had reached white house earlier in the diay, but the president did not mention the incident

The Canadian Pacific excursion to Canada, which will leave Rensselaer July 7th, promises to be liberally patronized, as many have signified their intention of taking the trip. Fred Arnott, of Rensselaer, took this trip five yeans ago, and was more than delighted with the trip, and says it will pay one to take the trip even if they have no intention of locating in that country. The trip will be especially delightful at this time, as one will be able to escape the sweltering heat prevalent here now. The climato qf Canada is delightful at this time of year, and the nights are especially fine for sleeping.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION NAMED BY RALSTON

Tom Taggart, A C. Harris, W. H. O’Brien, L. 0. Clore and R. L. Sackett Members. In an effort to secure better roads for Indiana Governor Ralston has appointed a committee to make ft complete investigation of the needs of the state and to advise the best means to proceed. The commission is composed of Tom Taggart, Addison C. Harris, W. H. O’Brien, Leonard C. Clore and R. L. Saekrtt, The following advisers were also named: Lewis Tayler, Newburg, First district. E. R- Cumaniifigs, Bloomington, Second. Albert P. Fenn, Tell City, Third. I. Newt Brown, Franklin, Fourth. William F. Franklin, Danville, Filth. Maurice Douglas, Flatrock, Sixth. C. A. Kenyon, Indianapolis, Seventh. John R. Retherford, Muncie. Eighth. D. F. Maish, Frankfort, Ninth. J. G. Short, Hillsboro, Ninth. Mike Duffey, Fowler, Tenth. Oliver Kline, Huntington, Eleventh. ' - —— l William Jones, Fairmount, Elev- ■ enth. • George V. Kell, Ft. Wayne, Twelfth. Aaron Jones, South Bend, Thirteenth. Mr. Clore is well known as an agricultural expert and is at present the agricultural agent of Laporte county. Mr. Sackett is instructor in civil engineering at Purdue and Is credited with practical knowledge of road construction. Mr. Harris, who is a republican, has been a student of road building for years. He has carried his study of road making into foreign lands. There seems excellent reason for the selection of these three men to the commission. Tom Taggart and W. H. O’Brien have as a reason (for their appointment the fact that they are prominent leaders in the democratic party. The governor has recommended Luke W. Duffy as secretary of the oammisston. There seems to be 'no law for the creation of a commission of this kind, although great good may eome from it The expense; however, will be considerable and The Republican believes it is a very unwise action at this time, when taxes are already extremely high. Independent societies are pushing the good roads movement and will probably .make recoxmwendattons to the next legislature almost as valuable as the commission which the governor has created and which will probably cost the state from $25,000 to $50,000. >
