discussed the Issues of the eamp.ugn. All the seats were filled, and ninny stood about the walls and sat in the windows. The speech was filled with fact, but was so interesting and so bright and so eloquent wlthall. thai laughter, applause and serious ittentlon alternated throughout th" evening. PtKiple sat up and took notice of that speech. Mr. Warrum discussed the issue- , giving special attention to the claim that Taft was the heir of the Roosevelt policies. Mr. Warrum showed the Republican platform was the will through which whatever the pr sent administration wished to hand on to the next must pass. This platform said nothing of the policies advocat<'d by Roosevelt in relation to railroad rate legislation, the Income ta' campaign contributions, etc. As .1 matter of fact these policies were nil Democratic property and not to be bequeathed by the Republican pn indent who had only borrowed them. Mr. Warrum showed further that the great trusts such as the SteM Trust and the Paper Trust, did not pay but tw-o per cent upon their com- ' mon stock, and that these corpori tions might go before congress, and in perfect fairness ask that the tar' Y bo raised so that they might make “reasonable profit” as pledged b< the Republican platform. This wa telling shot and made a strong im-

pression.

Altogether the meeting was one I the best of the year, and this is suing much when it is reniembere-l t - : all tlie Democratic meetings 1km been hummers.

Fire of unknown origin totally destroyed the barn belonging to Doc Hurst, at bis residence at the corner of Indiana and Olive Streets last night. The fire occurred at nei;11:30 o’clock. The barn, together with its contents consisting of a buggy, harness, hay and grain were destroyed. The horse which was i-i the stable, was gotten out. The blaze was not discovered until the fire had gained much headway uid when ti e fire department arrDod at the scene the barn was falling in. There wa.> no chance to save it During tin- fire spa-ks blew into tiehouses of Dr. Lawton and Enoc Townsend but bucket brigades soon extinguished the blazes started by t hem. The - rlgin of the fire is a mystery, the general belief, however, is that a tramp, who had gone to the barn to si - ii, dropped a spark from his cigar or pipe into tin* bay. The loss will reach several hundred dollars.

BARN FIRES ARE NUMEROUS Fp until the last few weeks the local tire department had not been ailed out to tight a barn lire for five years, in the past few weeks, how- ver. they have bn-n - ailed upon to light fires in three barns and in each instance the barn was lotall r destroyed. The burnes burned we!.the Rev. Dike burn on East Washing ton Street, the .1 (). Caninmck bar,, on Hill Street, ami the Doc Hur t barn last night. It is believed that the drv summer and carelessness by persons win have had fire around the barns have caused these later conflagration •. The fires of five years ago, and there were several of them, were bellev > 1 at the time to have been of ineei'diary origin.

The porch of the Grissom honu which was used as a speaker’a stan ' was decorated in flags and bunting and presented a most patriotic appearance. The Bainbridge ban-1 furnished music for the occasion. Senator Ralph Moss was the first speaker of the day and he entertain ed the people until the arrival of Mr. Warrum of Indianapolis, who made the main address of the dav .Mr. Warrum delivered a most pleasing and Instructive address.

SOME VERY FALSE ALARMS

some of the highest prices for far .1 products of any time since the wn-. Hogs sold at that time for $S.75 a price not renched since. On the other hand, in the time of the Republican rule between 1SSS and farm products were at the lowest. Corn, at that time sold on the Chicago markets for less than 30 cent per bushel, and oats for less th:.,twenty, a price not readied in Chi : go under Cleveland. Such comparisons of the price >: products means nothing. Prices if farm products in America depend up on competition with the world, an I rise and fall as the world’s need for our products varies. No administm live policy will affect farm product ; till we consume all and more than we produce. On the other hand the tariff has raised the price of all manufactured articles which arc soi l here some 17 per cent. It costnearly twice as much to live now ai it did ten years ago. a condition ihi" entirely to the tariff and the trusts

in rapid succession. It was a wind speech from first to last.

Rev. Small spoke for over two h mis and many who were standing declared that they did not kno-v they were weary till after the speaker dosed his address. Rev.

premium on that occasion.

Worth While Looking Into!

As.,-itinns Circulated by Republicans Fur From the Actual Facts as Revealed by State Statistics.

The Republicans, on the stump and through circulars, are sending out some comparisons of prices of farm products under the administration of Cleveland and Roosevelt. Th" facts are badly garbled, and prove ■ I nothing. It is asserted that under j* Democracy farm product -; were low.
