He had been in about his usual health and had spent the afterznoon in the business section of the city. He returned to his home at about 5 o’clock and after sitting down and talking for a time arose and went to the chicken house to gather the eggs. As he' was returning from there he was siezed with a sort of stiffness of one leg but he returned to the house and a little later while sitting in a chair the stroke became worse and he fell over. The entire left side was affected and he has been unable to speak since then. The attending physician, Dr. Kresler, is well pleased with his condition today and expects that he will make considerable improvement.

Father With Motherless Children Returms From West.

M. D. Donohue and his two little daughters, the oldest not yet three and the baby a year old the 14th of this month arrived here this morning from Winona, Minn., and at once procured an automobile and drove to Remington, his former home. Mr. Donohue explained that his wife had died on Jan. 6th, leaving him with the two children. He has since taken care of them but is unable to give them the attention they" need and brought them back to relatives in Remington. Mr. Donohue lived in Minnesota for some time and -was married there but came back to Indiana and for some time prior to last June lived in Lafayette. His wife’s health began to fail and he moved back to Minnesota but it did not improve and she gradually failed until the end came. He had several physifcians see her, including the Mayo brothers in Rochester, Minn., but none could help her and there was considerable diversity of opinion as to what the trouble was.-

COURT EDICT AS TO RHEUMATISM

Judge Barhorst Testifies Rheuma Has Given Permanent Relief to Many. No matter how many so-called remedies for rheumatism you have tried, do not be skeptical about the wonderful curative power of Rheuma. There is no other preparation like Rheuma. It goes to work so quickly as to leave no doubt in your mind of the ultimate successful and permanent relief. Orfe dose daily acts on the diseased kidneys, blood, and joints more readily than any other known remedy. It cleans out the “human sewers” and thus purifies the entire system. “I, John Barhorst, Justice of the Peace of McLean Township, Ft. Lorramie, Ohio, do certify that I was cured of a very bad case of rheumatism by using tw T o bottles of Rheuma. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as well as ever. Previous to using Rheuma I was a cripple, walking on crutches. I have advised Rheuma to at least a dozen persons and each one speaks as highly of it as 1.” You can secure a bottle of Rheuma for only 50 cents of B. F. Fendig or any druggist.

Figures Show Strength Of Watson As Candidate.

The strength of James E. Watson, republican candidat efor U. S. senarepublican candidate for U. S. senashown in figures that have been compiled on the campaign of 1908, when he .made a better record in a losing fight than any of the republican candidates for governor in the central and eastern cities. The election statistics show that he made a better record than Governor Hughes of New York and other candidates who are popular with the rank and file of the party throughout the country. An effort has been made to prove that since Mr. Watson ran votes behind Taft in the campaign of 1908 that he did not conduct a successful campaign in comparison with the republican campaigns in other states. While Mr. Watson ran only 14,953 votes behind Taft that year, Governor Hughes of Neiw York ran 133,000 behind Taft. The former president’s majority in Illinois was 179,122 and Governor Deneen’s majority was 23,164, or 155,958 less than Taft’s. The majority of Taft in Ohio was 69,591, while the republican candidate for governor was defeated and Harmon, was elected with a majority of 19,372. Governor Warren’s majority in Michigan was 50,556 less than Taft’s. Taft’s majority in Minnesota was 85,822 and Johnson, the democratic candidate, was elected with a majority of 20,178. Taft’s majority in Massachusetts was 110,423, while Draper, the republican candidate for governor, received 60,267 less votes than Taft. Mr. Watson’s friends are taking as unusually significant the figures relating to the race in New York in 1908 where Hughes, who is considered a very popular man in the party and whose name is mentioned frequently as a leading presidential possibility, received 133,040 less votes than Taft. Watson they declare, despite the nature of the campaign in Indiana in 1908, made a better record than almost any of the gubernatorial candidates east--of the Mississippi river.

Chief Tahan, Friday Evening, Jan. 28.

The third number of the lyceum course will be held at the Presbyterian church next Friday night. In the dress of an Indian chief which he wears as a trophy of war, Tahan presents to lyceum audiences in his lecture on “Things I Saw and Did While a Savage,” one of the best if not altogether the most thrilling and intensely interesting, and at the same time instructive, life stories ever told by a human being. And not only has it an educational value but it carries a moral and religious message as well. He was only two years old when a band of Kiowa Indians raided the frontier settlement and massacred all but the babe. He was taken by the chief and given to Tsilta, his Tsilta named him Tahan, that is, Texas man. He was educated by his foster mother in all the ways of the Indians. When he was ten years old he was captured by Custer, who compelled the chief to reveal his identity, which resulted in his (being returned to an uncle in Texas. He later returned to the Indians and he was persuaded to become a government scout. He deserted and fled to the Cheyennes, was later captured, courtmartialed, sentenced to death, and imprisoned at Fort Reno. He cut a hole through the prison roof and escaped in the night. He wandered for three years and was finally converted in London, Ontario. He studied for the ministry and finally his case was presented to Grover Cleveland, who pardoned him. The above is just a brief outline of his thrilling life story which he tells in a modest but most interesting manner, .throwing a light on the character and traditions *of the Indians from the standpoint; of personal knowledge and sympathetic appreciation.

Sisters From Lafayette Are Caring For Sick Students.

Sisters from the Lafayette hospital have arrived at St. Joseph’s college to help care for the students who are at the infirmary with scarlet fever. New cases continue to develop and a statement from the college this morning is to the effect that there are 33 cases there. A false report was circulated in Rensselaer Tuesday evening to the effect that one of the students had died of the disease. This was not the case, however, but one student became ill of another complaint necessitating an operation and he was taken to his home at Dunnington, Benton county, in an ambulance. The cases are none of them severe and the most optimistic" reports come from the_ college notwithstanding the fact that the number of cases are increasing. • .

James E. Watson Receives Endorsement of Newspapers.

Editorials in leading newspapers of the state are conceding the fact that James E. Watson, of Rushville, is leading in the.race of the senatorial nomination on the republican ticket over Harry S. New and Arthur R. Robinson, of Indianapolis, his two opponents. Many of the papers also are admitting that Mr. Watson will receive more than his share of the progressive vote. This latter condition is no surprise to the men who have .been in close touch with the campaign on account of the many letters they have received pledging the support of the former progressives. The Michigan City Dispatch says in a recent editorial: “As the matter stands today, James E. Watson is far ahead of Harry New in the fight for the republican nomination for United States senator. He and his supporters are making one of the warmest campaigns for the nomination that ever was waged in the state.” The Loogootee Tribune has the following to say about Mr. Watson’s strength with former progressives: “It cannot be denied and will not by those who know the truth, that Mr. Watson has among his following a large number of the former progressives—perhaps more than for any other candidate.” The Fort Wayne Gazette in discussing Mr. Watson’s recent appearance there, said: “Supporters of James E. Watson were feeling jubilant following his address here and it is freely predicted that he will carry the 12th district by a big majority. The audience that greeted Mr. Watson was not made up entirely of republicans. Many of those present were former progressives and they all joined in saying that Mr. Watson’s nomination would be a walk-away.” The Frankfort Times said recently that the prediction is being made there that Mr. Watson will win, and the English News said that former progressives in that part of the state in large numbers are expressing their intentions of supporting, the Rushville candidate.

REPRESENTATIVE MANN FAVORS PREPAREDNESS

Minority Leader of House Pleads For Non-Partisan Consideration of Defense Measures. Washington, Jan. 25.—Unqualified non-partisan support of military preparedness was urged today by Minority Leader Mann in a ringing speech on the floor of the house. He was heartily and repeatedly applauded by both sides of the charmber. Rep. Mann based his plea on the ground that it behooves the United States now to prepare for any eventualities that may come as a result of the European war. He declared that he saw no immediate danger of war and hoped that peace might prevail, but that the danger of the U. S. .being drawn into the present conflict or, one that might result from it was too great to be disregarded. “I have much more fear in the end of war with England than I have of war with Germany,” he said. That was his only comment on this phase of his subject. Later he declined to .elaborate on his remark. Mr. Mann urged no particular preparedness plan. He said he favored a standing army of 250,000 or 300,000 or even half a million men, better coast defenses and “a navy which will be able to defend us on the sea.” “I think that we ought to provide these great forces," said he in pleading for a non-partisan view of the question, “that it ought to be considered an emergency matter, entirely apart from the ordinary routine or expense of government, without regard to partisanship or party lines.” Touching upon the cost, Mr. Mann said it would be millions now but better than billions later.
