DePauw Oratorical Association offie-i.-iis decided to accept the proposition of the traction line for an excursion to Indianapolis, Feb. C, the date of the State Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest. The rate offered by the interurban was 80 cents for the round trip. It is expected that at least 000 students and townspeople will take !.d\ antage of the rates and go to Indianarolis on that date. This conclusion was reached after a careful handling of the problem. The interurban company offered the committee by far the best prices, together with suitable hours and consequently received the business. The expense connected with the trip is perhaps the lowest that it lias ever been, being only eighty cents for the round trip. Under the arrangements as completed this afternoon the cars will leave this city next Thursday afternoon at 2:30 and will
CLAIM HARRY SMITH IS DUE
Many of the Local Republicans Believe That the Local Editor Should lie Given the Postofflcc—Ho is Said to Have a “Bee” Hut is Laying Low.

Telephone ('oinpauy Places its Wires
Many of the Republicans, since the tight for delegates in the Congressional Convention has come up in Putnam County, are booming Harry Smith, editor of the Republican organ, who lias been a party worker for 15 years, for' the postofflee job. j[ His friends allege that on account of

They say that Charley Zeis, who lias been promised the plum by Howard Maxwell, the Rockville candidate for Congressional nomination, has not been in the party work long enough
to be entitled to the job.
The general belief is that Mr. Smith is out after the postofflee, and probably will be given the place, provided Otis E. Gulley, is nominated and then elected to Congress. This belief is strengthened by the attitude the editor has taken in not mentioning the fight in the columns
of his paper.
Others say that Mr. Gull A' has promised the office to Thad Peck, ex-
to such an extent as to give service county chairman , Mr . smith and Mr.
to many parts of the city that have
been cut off.
In repairing the damage done the telephone system by the burning out of the seventy-five-wire cable by the interurban car last week, the company is seeking to avoid any further accidents of the same kind. Today two mammoth poles were placed for the purpose of raising the messenger cable and its attached wires well above the trolley wires of the traction company’s lines. As soon as the cable can be rehung and drawn taught the work of splicing the severed wires will go forward rapidly. It is hoped soon to complete repairs

WHEN A MAN DIES IN INDIANA
The girls at the Theta Sorority house experiencod quite a scare last j evening from an alarm of burglars. At about seven o’clock some of the girls hearing a noise in the back parlor stepped back to investigate land just before turning on the light iwo indistinct figures were seen just at the door. After receiving re-en-forcements the brave ones determin|ed to explore further and moved out upon tlie porch in their search. At last their encountered two mou who | HimI at tlie approach of the girls. No I clew has been found as to the idenjtity of the would-be robbers. So far no losses have been discovered on the part of the tenants of the house and it is thought that nothing was taken, as the men wer« watching for an opportunity to get farther into the
house.
This is not the first time that burglars have bothered the students lately. The Alpha Chi sorority house was entered several times hist term, but here the burgl us were more fortunate, several limes taking money.

riie Doctor's (’ortilicnte Hereafter I Mum Give Exact Cause of Death. ••Heart Failure" No Longer to be | \ecepted. The state board of health will send to tlie physicians of the state notices » the effect that they must be more explicit in reporting causes of death. The board lias been troubled much with indefinite death’ returns, wljich have led to controversies, especially over applications for widows’ pensions or the payment of insurance. "Heart failure,” the instruction says, !i ouiid never be accepted as the sole i a use of death. "What disease caused the heart trouble?” says the cir•ular to the physicians. “The heart always fails before death from any . ause. Be particularly careful that deaths from diphtheria, tuberculosis, el .. are so reported. If organic heart disease is meant, it should be i) stated." Regarding the term "inanition,” as returned by some physicians as a cause of death, the bulletin says: “This is a particularly pernicious term, and is responsible for a multitude of worthless certificates. It should as if it meant something definite, but in the majority of cases it does not. What disease caused the inanition? Was it tuberculosis or cholera infantum? If unable to take food state cause.
ALL CARRY COAL I0DAY
The crews who are handling the interurban ears on the runs from Terre Haute to Indianapolis feel that jthe worst of their troubles are over. With greater knowledge of the track land of the requirements of the line l in regard to passengers, the crews are learning where time can ire made and where to expect that time will be lost. Many of the cars are now arriving on the dot of the schedule, though the heavy tratfle on the west end makes careful planning on the p irt of tlie crew necessary to accomplish this result. So closely are the cars timed that a slight increase In the time usually allowed for stops at various stations means a slight
break in the schedule.
The trouble in Brazil over both passenger and freight rates is about to lie settled to tlie satisfaction of everyone, and the road is looking forward to a period of uninterrupted
traffic.
