The Evening Republican.

SAYS M’CRAY CAN UNITE THE PARTY

Newspaper Says That With Him We • Can Sew Up the Old Party Bifurcated Three Years Aguf.

Warren T. McCray, “the man from Kentland,” republican candidate for governor, can reunite the grand old party as no other candidate mentioned for the bead of the state ticket next year can and is stronger by 25,000 votes than any other candidate according to some of the leading republican newspapers of Indiana.

In a straw vote recently held in five counties well proportioned over the state, Mr. McCray came within ten votes of equaling the combined vote of his four competitors in the race. Not so bad for a novice in politics, such of the former-business man candidate is.

ißut not claiming Mr. McCray’s nomination on the face of these returns, by any manner of means, the main argumet is that if the republican party next year is to answer the call for it from the country, and that call is audible everywhere nearly, Warren McCray is the man in Indiana, more than any other named, who can expand the party’s voting strength by bringing into it thousands of men who have been indifferent to it in recent years, or actively arrayed against it. A party can not realize its ambitions in legislation unless it is elected to control of the legislative medium. 'Success depends on votes. With the man from Kentland we can get action. Of course, I know there are more cogent arguments than that why Mr. McCray should be supported by all sections of the republican party and by all iof the socal'led “independent” voters. I’ll take them up later. Let us sew up into one piece again this old and tried party of ours that unhappily was bifurcated three years aero. So far as Indiana is concerned, McCray, in my opinion, is the tailor who can do it better than any other man seeking the votes of the party in the coming primary for governor.

Knox Man Killed White Deer In Wisconsin North Woods.

Starke County Republican. Abner Hay, the veteran hunter and fisherman, often referred to in these columns as “The Old Scout,” reached Knox Friday noon from the north woods where he had spent the summer and fall. On the first day of the hunting season in Wisconsin Mr. Hay killed his deer within fifteen minutes after the season opened, which was at sunrise on the morning of Nov. 10th. The deer was a fine large buck, and almost entirely white. At first sight Mr; Hay thought it was a sheep, but upon nearer approach it proved to be a fine buck. The head is being mounted and in due time will adorn the lodge room in the Hay house at Bass lake. Mr. Hay will spend the winter with his son, Frank, at the lake. .

Scores C. & E. I. Train Service —Suggests Petition.

Brook Reporter. It is ruipored thaM the C. & E. I. has figured out a way by which they can make the train accommodations on this road worse than they are at the present time. The two passenger trains are to meet at Morocco in the afternoon. This was done because under the old schedule you could go to Momence and get your whiskey and return op the afternoon train. Since Momence-has gone dry the road has lost that traffic, about all it had left, and now’they are going to run the trains as a feeder for the main line in Illinois. We suggested some time ago that the towns along the 'line should get together and petition the public service commission and we still think this would be advisable if we want any service. z

ICY PAVEMENTS CAUSE ACCIDENTS

Mr|. Zack Campbell Fractures Hip and Mrs. Julia Dafy Cut Gash In Head Frohn Falls.

'Mrs. Zack Campbell, residing in the house just west of the jail, fell shortly after noon today and sustained a broken hip. Mrs. Campbell was performing her household duties and had stepped out on the back porch, where the accident occurred. Dr. Kresler was called and found that the fracture was an extremely serious one. Mrs. Campbell is past 60 years of age. Another accident due to the thin layer of ice that has covered the ground for the past several days was that of Mrs. Julia Day. The accident occurred at her home in the east part of town. She flipped on the steps of the porch, falling on her head and cutting a deep gash, necessitating the taking of three stitches to close the WfOUnd in her scalp. Dr. English was in attendance. It is hoped that the ice will quickly melt and saVe others from serious accidents.* Many people take to the roads in walking to and from their business duties, as the heavy wagons and horses break up the icy surface and there is not so much danger of falling. -

Lawson Murder Trial Attracting Much Attention.

The Lawson murder trial which started at Frankfort Tuesday, is attracting a great deal of attention. Oscar Lawson, brother of the accused, took the stand Wednesday for the state. He told about the movements of the party in Lafayette on the nigh of the murder; how they visited saloons and did more or less drinking, and about his brother having bought a box of cartridges, and how they boarded a Wabash train for Delphi, arriving early in the morning, and what followed. Charles Friend, Vance Lawton and Louis Wendling, other members of the gang, were put on the stand by the state but their evidence did not differ materially from that of Lawson. Mrs. August Scallon, widow of the murdered man, was present at the proceedings, and during the description of the autopsy performed upon the body of Scallon, she became hysterical, necessitating the adjournment of court until she could be quieted. She screamed shrilly, arising to her feet, rushed forward and fell upon her face and lay moaning and crying alloud until men reached her side.

Judge Walter Olds, of Fort Wayne, Withdraws From Race.

Another political bomb wsa dropped Thursday, when Judge Walter Olds, of Fort Wayne, announced his withdrawal from the race for the republican nomination for senator and, in a public statement, announced that he would support Harry S. NeW for the nomination. Olds said that he is more interested in the welfare of the republican party than he is in his own aspirations. He tells of his acquaintance with New since early manhood and recommends his intelligence and ability. Old's also stated that business reasons entered in and the democratic primary law demands that each candidate advertise, finance and perfect an drganization as completely as does each party in case an election would put the nomination out of the reach of a man with only ordinary means.

HAS FAITH IN QUICK REMEDY FOR CATARRH

B. F. Fendig Guarantees That Hyomei Will Kelifeve the Worst Cases of Catarrh In Rensselaer. When one of the most reputable concerns in Rensselaer guarantees that a medicine will procure benefit or they will refund the money, it speaks volumes for the mertts of that remedy. It is in this way that B. F. .Fendig is selling Hyomei, the treatment that has helped so many cases of both acute and chronic catarrh in Rensselaer and vicinity. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a sprav or a lotion that must be rubbed in. It is an oil, the air of which you • just breathe in your nose, throat and lungs by the aid of an inhaler that comes with every outfit. Benefit will usually be seen from the very first treatment. This air destroys all germ life in 1 the air passages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with the additional ozone it supplies. It banishes catarrh of the head and throat and respiratory organs. Wherever these mucous membranes contain catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do its work of healing. The complete Hyomei outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment. ’ ' < Remember that if Hyomei does not relieve you B. F. Fendig will refund 1 your money. '

DETAILED ACCOUNT OF VANCE’S SUICIDE

Love AffAJr Reported to Be Cause of Self-Destruction of Brtfak Man At Marseilles, 111.

The Brook Reporter publishes the following account of the death of E. E. Vance, formerly of that city: This community was shocked on receiving word from Marseilles, 111., on Tuesday that E. E. Vance had committed suicide. It was difficult to get any information and the Reporter wired the Evening Register at that plate and they sent the following message:

“Brook Reporter, Brook, Ind. E. E. Vance took his life in Marseilles in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Dec. 14, by slashing his throat with a razor. He was found on the door step of Mrs. Allard’s home about 7:30 a. m., lying in* a pool of blood, with a razor by his side, and also two grips, umbrella, and hat. A special delivery letter from Chicago mailed at 10:30 p. m., Dec. 13, was received by the chief of police at Marseilles and 'was in Vance’s handwriting, and reads as follows: “ ‘To the Marshal of Marseilles, 111. You will find the body of some one, somewhere in Marseilles tomorrow morning. See that the proper care is taken of it and that his personal possessions at his side and in his pockets are cared for. Yours, The Owner of the Body.’ ” “Two sealed envelopes in his pockets bearing inscriptions ‘To be opened by proper authority in case of death.’ The body and personal property remain here awaiting word from relatives. Vance •was employed as stock salesman for A. B. Smith here. Smith talked' with him in Chicago at 5 p. m. Dec. 13th, and Vance disclosed trouble over a love affair with a Marseilles woman and, it is rumored this ended in a quarrel, and may have caused suicide. 11l health is also given as cause. —Reporter Register.” Mr. Vance had taught in the town schools for many years in this county.

Interesting Items Clipped From The Monticello Herald.

Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Beard, of Wolcott, ‘were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Morton Coonrod Monday. They were enroute to their home after a trip to Indianapolis, where they had attended grand opera. Judge Wason has appointed Trtiman F. Palmer to succeed the late W. E. Uhl-as a member of the committee to examine candidates for admission to the White county bar. The other members are W. S. Bushnell and E. B. Sellers.

Johnsonbauch and B. F. Price as jury commissioners for White county for the ensuing year. They qualified Tuesday afternoon.

The art exhibit, which is being held I there this Week, is shown with much I better advantage that it could have bem with the old lights.

CATHOLIC BAZAAR A GREAT SUCCESS

Turkey Supper Proved Big Drawing Card and Fqrtuinle Wheel Attracted L4ts of Business.

The icy roads and sidewalks did not materially reduce the patronage of rhe turkey cafeteria supper and the oazaar held Thursday evening by the ladies of St. Augustine’s Catholic church at the parochial hall, The two days that preceded were good days but the Thursday crowd was much the largest and much the hungriest and much the most enthusiastic.

The dinner receipts for the three cays were as follows: Tuesday $58.50; Wednesday $27 and Thursday $109.50. The turkey dinner pleased all of the 328 who patronized it and the turkey was so good that many took return orders.

'Following the supper the large crowd gathered upstairs where the band played several selections and then Joe Hallagan started the wheel of fortune and there was a lively scramble for paddles and many of the bazaar articles were sold. Joe Hallagan had charge of the wheel and demonstrated that he could make more noise than Ed Honan, who was one of his assistants. Ed Karine, ArIt was a jolly crowd and everyone other aides, never had go much money in their lives and their pockets bulged out like saddlebags. Arnold Luers got so excited that he counted six paddles seven several times but what he lacked in actual count he make up in rapid sales and he always had his quota sold before the others got well started.

Ed Kanne could make the most n'oise and his customers said that half the articles Went to his corner, was in attendance at the Catholic bafrad a good time. Young women drew doll babies, young men drew girl’s dresses and married men drew nightgowns. The .fish pond in the meantime was doing a rushing business and evidently the bazaar returns would reach a good sum. It is proposed to build a fine new church edifice another year and the ladies are doing their full part to procure money to aid the work.

Delphi Journal. John. B. Myer, the old Andersonville prisoner, whose farm lies just west of Flora, has posted his farm against hunters in the following manner: “Hunt all you please on this farm and come to dinner when you hear the bell ring. If you can’t find any game come to the house and get a chicken or two and some sweet potatoes to cook with them.” Mr. Myer was in Andersonville prison for morJ than a year and knows what it is to be without food. He is one of the fellows without a grouch of any kind and likes to see everybody happy.
