Christian Standard Gives Hugh Miller Endorsement.

The Christian Standard, in its current issue, has the following to say regarding Hugh Miller, Judge Jackson and Ira Batman, candidates on the republican state ticket: “His life (Hugh Miller) as a Christian and citizen is spotless, and, indeed, it was Ms integrity of character and probity of life that caused the party to turn to him as a stand-ard-bearer in an hour wher/it was going through an important transition in its history. While he is a republican, he enjoys to the full the confidence of .both the progressive and democratic leaders, and there is none to breathe a Tfrord or insinuate a thought of derogation of his personal life. If he is elected, there will not be one in the ranks of his own or the opposing parties who will not say that Indiana is represented in the United States senate by a man whose personal life is entirely pure, whose political life is thoroughly honest, and whose promise is wbrth'one hundred cents on the dollar. "What has been said of Bro.‘ Miller can doubtless be as well said of Ira Batman and Judge Jackson. The Christian Standard rejoices ,in the fact that when occasions in our national life call for Christian men we can furnish them in unlimited numbers.”

FOUNTAIN PARK CO. WINS HENSLER SUIT

Decision in Appellate Coart Sustains Finding in Suit Affecting Chautauqua Assembly. ' 1. ._. . - _ » The Famous suit instituted after the failure of #ie Barker bank at Remington by Hensler against the Fountain Park Co., of Remington, and which was decided adversely to Hensler in the Jasper circuit court, has just been affirmed in the appellate court. The following brief of the finding was prepared by Judge Caldwell, of the appellate bench. This means* victory for the Chautauqua association. The opinion reads: - ■ “P was a wealthy public-spirited man, who became owner of the former Remington fair grounds and adjoining farm. The fair grounds property was suitable for a natural park and P organized a Chautauqua association, with shares of small value, which caused Chautauqua and athletic events to be hSld on the property,'and a 25-year lease was executed to the association and additional buildings built, but the association was financially loosely run, and the bank of which P was head carried its floating debt until P became a bankrupt, and the farm, including grounds used for Chautauqua, was sold to appellant, who attempted to curtail appellee’s privileges, tore down part of buildings and sued for additional claims outside of rent in lease. On appellees’ cross-complaint the court decreed appellee had right to premises and a roadway during July and August, and a reconstruction of destroyed buildings or S2OO damages. Motion for new trial and application for new trial of right, which were overruled. There was no error. No title was involved as gave new trial of rvgjit, as-title to arid nature of road were but incidents to protect appellee’s rights. (2) The evidence sufficiently upholds judgment to overcome motion for new trial for cause. (3) The written contract was sufficiently-, ambiguous to warrant the introduction of the oral , evidence to assist in its construction. (4) Oral statements of the former owner, after parting with title, relative t 6 ownership of the buildings, could not be cause for new trial when not objected to at time of admission.

Charles A. West, Progressive, Supports Wood (or Congress

Lafayette Jqgirnal. Charted A. West, former president of the Central Labor Union and the progressive candidate for legislature two years ago, will support WiW R. Wood for congress. iMr. West made this announcement last night. 0 Mr. West' was actively identified with the progressive campaign of two years ago, having made many speeches in behalf of the progressive cause. When asked for the reasons that induced him to support Mr. Wood, he said: “I have become convinced that the fight for congress in this district is between Senator Wood and Mr. Peterson. Believing as I do that the one great question before us is the tariff—whether it shall he protection or free trade—and believing as I do in the policy of protection, I am convinced that Senator Wood should have my support and vote. In my belief the tariff should he

Walter R. Lee Soon to Marry a Bluffton Girl.

Walter R. Lee, who has been engaged in business here for several years and still has his home here although engaged in business at Mt. Ayr, is soon to marry Miss Lillie Baxter, of Bluffton. The following announcement of the approaching marriage is taken from a Bluffton newspaper: “Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Miss hillie Baxter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Baxter, of South Jersey street, and Walter R k Lee, of Mt. Ayr, Ind., formerly of this city. The marriage will take place the latter part of the month. Friends learned of the approaching marriage Saturday when they discovered Miss Baxter wearing a new diamond ring. After a little persuasion the knowledge of her betrothal was gained. “Miss Baxter is at the present employed as stenographer at the Sturgis & Stout drug store, while Mr. Lee is managing a store at Mt. Ayr. He formerly owned a store at Rockford, and came here to sell out the Frank Stogdill grocery stock. The friends will anxiohsly await the announcement of the exact date of the wedding.”

Miller and Eggleston Given &50 Fines and 30 Days in Jail.

Pat Miller and George Eggleston, the Mt.-Ayr men indicted for illegal sales of liquor, pleaded guilty at Kentland Wednesday to the first charge and Judge Hanley sentenced them to thirty days in jail and each to pay a fine of SSO. They were returned here Wednesday evening to enter upon their sentences. It v is probable that they will lay out the fine as well as the jail sentence. They have been confined in jail since the flist of June. There are several other cases against Miller, hut it is probable none will he pushed if he shows a disposition to obey the lew when he gets out. There is also a case in the supreme court against him, appealed from the lower court, which is apt to again result in his incarceration.

Francis Harrington May Lose Foot Injured at Newland.

iDr. I. M, Washburn went to Lafayette today to see Francis Harrington, the young man whose foot was badly mashed at Newland some five weeks ago. It was thought at the time that the foot could be saved and he made quite rapid progress toward recovery and was able to be about on crutches. It is now reported, however, that the foot is causing him considerable trouble and it is possible that amputation may yet become necessary. A report came from Monticello this morning that a girl by the name of Marie Hayden, who for some time woiked here at McKay’s laundry, had been the victim of a cutting affray at Monticello, having her throat cut. It was understood that she was dead. Investigation made by The Republican disproved the rumor, however. CharlesNewton, the city editor of The Evening Journal was called. He said that his corps of reporters had failed to learn of any such an occurrence, however, although four men had had their throats cut. Their throat cutting was voluntary and ;their throats were cut on the inside with liberal applications of John Barleycorn. All were lined, each having to pay about $27.50 or going to Jail to lay that sum out. The Hayden girl, who was reported as the vietiih of the cutting affray, came here from Pittsburg, a suburb of Delphi. She was quite young and.reports coupled her name with some very bad conduct while here. She is supposed to have joined the carnival company at Medaryville and to have 'been traveling with them sinee that time.

taken out of politics and placed on a tariff commission basis, eliminating as it would these causes which create business unrest and uncertainty by making the tariff a political issue. Just as long as the tariff continues to be a political issue just as certainly it be continually changing and be the cause of business depression. Just as long as that condition exists we can not hope for permanent prosperity. Wood stands for protection and the tariff commission idea. I can not see that I can do anything else than support him as against Mr. Peterson, who after tiwo years in congress makes his plea for re-election on the ground that he has done just what the president told him to do and stands for free trade, which places the American “workingmen on a competitive basis -with foreign labor.”

Judge Hanley is following the usual course of business in court work. It is said that many circuit judges over the state are not holding any court, at least trying cases, on account of the necessity of making a political campaign. It is to be regretted that our judicial system depends on politics in the selection of our judges, but at any rate Judge Hanley is to be complimented for holding court and trying cases “ as if he were not in the midst of a political campaign for re-election.

NOTHING TO REPORT OF THROAT CUTTING

Marie Hayden Did Not Have Throat Cut at Monticello Wednesday Night at Reported. Voters at the November election will have the proposition to decide as to whether or not the 100th anniversary of Indiana fs to be celebrated. The Republican believes that the expense of the celebration will be far In excess of the good that will be accomplished and that it is the duty of every person to vote against it. The State Centennial Committee is urging voters to support the plan, but The Republican does not believe that the great expense is justified, that the'present taxes are so high that no expense should be incurred that will further increase them, that the exposition feature of the centennial will simply furnish some fat jobs for political workers and that no permanent benefit will come to Indiana. Its resources and its development are well known to the world and it is not necessary to spend a million dollars to advertise it. Sunday, Oct. 25th, has been designated as centennial sermon day. Ministers will do well to recommend that all voters cast their ballots against the waste of the celebration.
