The Even ing Republican.

Hugh Th. Miller Advised By Physician That His .Strength Is Not Sufficient Fog Campaign. The political situation in Indiana with reference to the republican nomination for United States senator has taken a considerable change by the announcement of Hugh Th. Miller, of Columbus, the nominee of the party a year ago, that he will withdraw from the race. 11l health is the cause and the letter printed below gives the full cause of his decision. Mr. Miller seemed apt to give James E. Watson a close race for the nomination. He was personally popular, was a man of capacity and he had taken the nomination in 1914 when it was generally agreed that defeat was certain. Mr. Miller’s many friends wil regret his withdrawal but will especially be concerned about his health and will hope that it makes rapid improvement. Mr. Miller’s letter is addressed to the republicans of Indiana and reads as follows: Saranac Lake, N. Y., Dec. 8, 1915. To the Republicans of Indiana: Some sixty days ago I suffered a very severe cold that remained with me for several weeks. From this some lung trouble has developed. About ten days ago, on the advice of Indianapolis physicians, I came to Saranac -Lake to consult specialists. While they give me assurances that I will have a complete recovery, they have ordered me to withdraw from the senatorial race. I regret very much this necessity. I desire to express the deepest thanks to all of my friends for their loyal support, which has given me so much encouragement in my campaign and has led me to the conviction that my nomination and election were assured. Very sincerely, HUGH TH. MILLER.

Anton* Nelson, a Norwegian, claiming to have been in the British navy, was found in an unconscious codition in front of the Handley drug store in Monon Thursday morning about 2 o’clock, by Nightwatch Ira Robinson. He was suffering from a number of knife wounds about the chest and arms and it is also believed that he had been struck by a blackjack. His condition is serious. He cladhis to have been in this country about two months and during a rational moment said that he was attacked by four men, who robbed him of S3O. He is about 35 years old. When examined by Dr. Clayton at the town hall it was found that Nelson had nine cuts on 'his arm amd three on his right arm. He also had three deep cuts on the left breast over the heart. Nelson had but very little to say regarding the injuries and when closely questioned declined to talk. It is believed by Monon authorities that he was assaulted in some other town and brought to Monon in an automobile and placed on the sidewalk, where he was found.

Mervin H. Sodster, Berkeley, Cal., writes: “Last Saturday, after tramping around the Panama Exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied Sloan’s Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness had almost disappeared, four hours after the second application I was as good as new.” March, 1915. At Druggists, 25c.

SLEET CAUSES BIG TELEPHONE LOSS

Many Poles Snapped Off and Lines Are Broken—Long Distance Lines Alsp Buffer Heavily. 1 r 1 Persons were greeted this Saturday morning by a sheet of sleet that mantled the earth. A misty rain continued to fall and until almost noon it froze and added to the thickness of the ice. As is usual in cases of this kind the telephone company suffered a considerable loss. Thirtyfour poles were down north of town and 20 south of town. Dr. E. C. English, who made a trip north reported counting thirty poles down between Rensselaer and Burk’s bridge. Many of the poles were snapped off at the ground and were pitched part way across the road. One large tree was down near Burk’s bridge, making passage almost impossible. George IM. Myers and W. L. Bott are right opt after the disabled section and are working heroically to restore the service. IMany long distance wires were also down and for some time Rensselaer could not get Chicago, Logansport, Fowler, DeMptte or Wheatfield.

C Surprise grandma and grandpa with a Xmas photo of baby from Parker’s Art Shop. Patrick Lally, after a few days’ visit here, left this morning for the National Soldiers’ Home at Marion, where he will remain for the whiter. Mr. Lally has for the past fourteen years been a rural mail carrier out of Michigan City, but he was recently let out and he says that the reason was that there were too many democrat* up that way who wanted his job. Mr. Lally served four years and four months in the union army, hut this fact don’t seem to cut much weight when it comes to removing a man from office. Mr. Lally is 73 years of age and probably not quite so active as he was hi his earlier days btft he should be entitled to consideration because of his service and this was evidently not done. Cloudy weather makes no difference, with the latest appliances, at Parker’s Art Shop, photos can be made any time.
