To-day was the third of the investigation into the attack on the sailors of the Baltimore. Judaeadvocate Remey presided alone. District Attorney Garter being absent. Nearly all the crew have now testified, and on Monday the officers will probably take the stand. The case of the United States, as stated by President Harrison in his messag, has been fully made out. There can so longer be any doubt 'that the mob was organized beforehand. Nearly every Bailor was warned by at least one person that the Baltimore's men would bo attacked at dark. The clerk of the bank where they changed their money warned, some of them. An English sea captain stopped others on the street and warned them, and many others in all classes of society also gave warnings. As a result many of the eailors kept away from the low part of town and went to tho fashionable residence and business portions, only to be followed and attacked there by the mob. There were at least four different localities, some of them over a mile apart, where attacks on the sailors were made simultaneously. The shameful part played by the Valparaiso police and soldiers becomes more and and more evident daiJy. Nearly every witness was abused and insulted br them, while the evidence that it was they who shot and killed Rigsin lb conclusive. The lirst three witnessed to-day testified to the facts ot an assault made on sailors c ear the mole, a distance of about a mile (rom where Riggin was killed. The row began in both places at the same time. All three witnesses told the same story. That of the third. John Carson, was the most sensational, as he was followed by a mob Into the heart of the finest busiuess portion of the city. The entire row occurred outsido the lower quarter of the city. A large number ot sailors had gone to the Plaza Vicioria to attend the opera in the finest theater in the city. The opera bad been postponed late in the day, and it was soon aftr this was known that the row began. The story of James Gilleu, the first witness, was merely corroborative of Carson's accounts. The second witness. James Stewart, a fireman, testified that when his boat was on its way to shore it passed near the Chilian war-ship Esmeralda. The men of this ship were running along the sides, shaking their fists and knives at the Americans, who then feared there would be trouble. Stewart then told the same story as Gillen. John Carson testified that he weht into White's saloon, where the bar-keeper warned him not to remain ont after dark, as a mob meant to attacfr the Americans. Later he and others were warned that they would be attacked as soon as it was dark. He then thought there was trouble, and started for tho mole, with seven others of the Baltimore's men, to return to the cruiser. They found a mob at the mole assaulting others of the Baltimore's sailors. The sailors acquitted themselves well until the mob began to stone them. Then the sailors separated and lied. Carson soon found himself alone in the best part of town with a mob still at bis heels. He said: I entered the Hotel Cnllonna. one of the best hotel in the city, for refuge. The crowd stopped at the door, howling. I asked for a room, but it was refused. I then asked for a meal, but was again refused, and was ordered out 1 ran toward the crowd at the door and it yielded. I then ran across the treet into a ciscar store, with the mob following me. but the door was shut against

it. A young gentleman came in and said: Uet that uniform off. 1 am an American, too, but they will murder you if yon wear those clothes.1 He gave me citizen' clothes and took me out. The crowd saw me, but did not recognize me, and made no demonstration. 1 never expressed approval of the action of the police." Owen Canning, a coal-heaver, testified that ho heard one of the Baltimore's men had been shot and went to the scene. He witnessed the attack on Davidson and was himself mobbed. He got away and disguised himself and went to a drugstore and found Turnbull. one of the crew, lying bleeding and half naked on the floor. His back was cut all to pieces with knives. He Was still conscious, bat no one was doing anything for him. He saw Turnbull about an hour before and he was perfectly sober John McBride, an oiler, testified as follows: "On going ashore 1 went first to the exchange office to get Chilian money. The clerk there warned mo a mob was organizing to attack us after dark. I went up to the Victoria Plaza to attend the opera there. The play was postponed, and I started to return to the mole. On the way and about C o'clock I met two Baltimore sailors who warned me that a row was going on by the mole. Wo turned down a side street and a block off 1 was suddenly seized by two Chilian policemen, who without a word of warning, began to beat me with their sword bayonets, i'made no resistance, although severely beaten. Other police then came up and beuan to beat me a train. Becoming frightened I broke away and ran. A mounted policeman followed and overtook me about a block oil. He struck me over the head with a sword, inflicting a severecut and knocking me down, fie then began beating me. My whole side was black and blue from the blows. Then they took me to jail and kept me there until next evening." B. H. Smith, an apprentice, testified as follows: "After leaving the ship several of cs hired horses and rode out to the eastern part cf the city. About 0 o'olock we returned towards the mole. Near there we went into an oyster stall. While there we heard a row outside and I went to the door. Instantly a man seized me and dragged me into the street, where I was beaten aad stabbed in the head. I escaped and fie d the mob after me. Some one tripped me and I fell, and while down I was beaten and stabbed again. 1 was carried to jail, 'there I found Hamilton, a carpenter's mate on the Baltimore, covered with blood. No one was attending to him. I was kept there until the next evening." W. E. White was with the last witness in the oyster stall. He corroborated his companion's testimony. J. F. McAdams testified that ho took a walk with other sailors in tho suburbs. In the Victoria Plaza a policeman arrested him and took him to jail. A friend of his, a resident of Chili, asked the cause of his arrest, and wan told by the police they were arresting all the Baltimore men. Wm. Lacey, a coal-heaver, was attacked shortly after getting ashore A Chilian man-of-wars man stabbed him in the arm. His head was also cut open by a stone. The police took him to jail. Frederick Cliiiord. a marine, testified

that he was chased by a mob. The police aiood along the streets ana did not interfere in any way to protect him. Joseph Wiggin was attacked near tho Capitan I'rat monument. He tried to break through tho crowd to where he saw a Chilian army otliccr in uniform. When he reached him the officer pointed a sword at his breast, and the same moment a 6tone struck Wiggin in the back of the head, knocking him senseless. George Panter testified that he was attacked by a mob, stabbed twice in the back and shoulder, and knocked unconscious. In this condition he was taken to prison. He was on the sick list for twenty-six days as a result of his wounds. He had been warned early in the afternoon that the Chilians meant to attack the Baltimore's men. William Sullivan testified that an English sea captain stopped him on the street about 5 o clock and told him to look out as the Chilians were going to attack the Americans. He went to the mole, and was there attacked by a mob and stoned. The police arrested him and took him to jail. Next morning he and nine other Baltimore sailors were arraigned in court. The judge said to them: "You did not expect this trouble, but we did." Every witness examined testified that he was sober and unarmed, and that he had never expressed an opinion that tho police did their duty, and all but three mentioned warnings they had received of an attack to be made on them at dark. Captain Schley said to-day to an Associated Presa reporter: "When I went to Chili I was prejudiced against Minister Esan, but I found him a quiet, intelligent and estimable gentleman, firm, yet not boisterous, and in every way determined to do his duty to the United States. His letters to the Chilian government were diplomatic master-pieces, firm and decided, and yet thoroughly polite and respecting. I concluded he was the right man in the right place. British Minister Kennedy declared in ray presence that te had written to Lord Salisbury that Egan'a conduct throughout had been dignified and commendable, and that in him the United States bad a minister of whom any country might well be proud." Town Attacked by Anarchists. Special to the Tiullasapols Journal. Madrid. Jan. a The town of Xeres, Andalusia, was attacked by a party of Anarchists last night. The latter were armed with shotguns, old muskets, scythes, bludgeons, knives tied to poles, etc. They entered the town last evening at various points shouting "Viva . la anariqua." This action upon the part of the Anarchists was backed by all the rough characters of the place, who helped to swell their numbers to a considerable extent. Finally several bands of desperate characters, led by the armed Anarchists, met by previous agreement in front of the theater, where they created a wild disturbance, shouting seditious cries and defying tho authorities. They knocked down and robbed a number of onlookers, kicking and otherwise maltroating all who refused to join in their riotous conduct, plundered several stores, robbed a number of private houses, and for a time struck panio into the heart of the town. One gentleman who was caught by the Anarchists as he was leaving the theater, in front of which they were gathered, resisted the attempt made to rob him, and was strangled to death amid hideous applause and laughter from the desperate wretches gathered about him. Satisfied with the destruction they had wrought in the center of the town, the Anarchists became bolder, and with loud shouts of "Free the prisoners,'.' they marched in a body upon the prison, determined to release all tho convicts there confined. Arriving in front of the prison, the Anarchists commanded the officials in charge to open the gates.. The latter refused, and an attach on the prison was commenced. Some of the Anarchists opened' fire upon the prison windows with shotguns and stones, while others attacked the gates with sledge-hammers and beams used as battering-rams. The gates, however, stubbornly held their own. and the rioters finally gave up tho attack and retired, hooting, yelling and jeering at everybody and everything. While the Anarchists were making their attack upon the prison the convicts confined therein seconded their eff orts to release them by raising a small riot inside tho prison walls. Tne priouers attacked tho doors of their

Evolution. In light: first, the tallow dip, then kerosene, then gas, then last and best

separate apartments, and shouted words of encouragement to the rioters outside until the air was filled with a most horrible din. The Anarchists, when they reached the barracks, made a stop and became somewhat less boisterous' in their behavior. They continued to shout for anarchy, and called to the soldiers to come out and join them in sacking the town. They promised to give the soldiers plenty of booty and pretty girls if they would join them in their devilish work, but tho soldiers remained unmoved by these seductive offers, nor could they be aroused to anger when the Anarchists, suddenly changing their tone, began to address them with insulting remarks, calling them cowards and daring tho troops to fire upon them. When the Anarchists tired of this diversion they marched in bands shouting and singing into the leading streets witn the purpose of looting the richest stores as they passed. The wine shops, it was noticed, seemed to attract the Anarchists more than any other place, and on reaching these places they would trundle out barrels, knock in the heads and hand out the wine, which was drank with avidity from the copper measures usually used in retailing it to the public. Home of the Anarchists put ten or a dozen bottles of brandy in their sashes or belts and freely distributed the liquor on all aides to willing or unwilling drinkers. Any person who refused to join in toasting anarchy was seized and beaten unmercifully by the mob and in some cases rolled in the gutter and saturated with wine. Up to this time the Anarchists may be said to have full swing and to have been in full possession of the town. The municipal and military authorities seemed to be stupefied with terror and too helpless to take any action whatever. By the time the Anarchists bad done about as much damage as they wanted to do and when the gutters were in some places rnnning with wine in which drunken men were weltering, the town authorities camo to their senses and collected together a body of gendarmes, police and night-watchmen. These men moved upon the Anarchists and a series of desperate battles were fought in the streets. The authorities, however, were fearful of the consequences of shedding bloodandso or.ly three of the Anarchists were killed. Twenty or thirty were more or less seriously wounded. The Anarchists no sooner saw that the authorities were in earnest than they suddenly turned tail, and lied in disorder through the streets and out into the country. There they were pursued by the mounted gendarmes, who captured thirty of them and brought them back prisoners to Xeres. When the tronble was about over the troops were called out, and were stationed at strategic points about' the streets, but there was no longer any use for their services. The law-abiding portion of the community is indienant at the weakness shown by the authorities who, it is expected, will receive strong censure from the proper quarters. A later dispatch from Xeres states that the attack on the town was precipitated by the knowledge having leaked out that the authorities had o a tho day previous made all preparations for a descent on the Anarchists' haunts for tho purpose of arresting some sixty of the most noted of them. This step by the authorities had been decided upon because of the boldness displayed of late by some of the leaders, and because of the holding of numerous meetings recently at which violent and incendiary language bad been used. One conflict between the military and the mob lasted two hours. After plundering the town the Anarchists attempted to destroy it by means of dynamite and petroleum, but they were batiied by the military. The Cabinet council to day discussed the Xeres all air and ordered the anthonties to deal with the rioters with the utmost rigor. The audacity displayed by the Anarchists in attacking a city where a battalion of infantry and a regiment of cavalry are quartered is regarded as alarming and inexplicable. Xeres, or Xerez, or Jerez de la Fronetra, where this bold anarchistio demonstration took place, it a town of Andalusia, not more than sixteen miles from Cadiz. It is noted for its wines, known under the name of Sherry. It has a population of about forty thousand people. Impressing Drunkenness In Germany. Copyright, istE, by the New York Associated Prew Berlin. Jan. 0. The Keichstag, next week, will debate the bill for the repression of drunkenness. The liundezrath has approved the measure as it was originated by Emperor William, only modifying the severity of the penalties to be imposed upon ollending public-honso-keopers. The Ministers, it is known, consider tho proposals with disfavor, and the members of the liundezrath express doubt as to their E ractical value. However, the Emperor aving sot bis heart upon trying the effect upon drinking of legislative restrictions, has obtained from thema hesitatingassent. The fate of the measure in the Keichstag is doubtful. The Conservatives and National Liberals will support tha bill, while the Freismnige and Socialist parties will oppose it, mainly beoause its provisions will invest the police authorities with exceptional powers of interference in the private life of citizens. The clause of the measure which has caused the most widespread objection empowers the officials to prosecute all persons denounced to them as habitual drunkards and to cause them to be imprisoned until they shall have obtained a medical certificate stating that they have been cured of the liquor habit. Their property also may bo seized and applied to the support of their families and of themselves during the imprisonment. The bill fails so entirely to define what proof will be sufficient to warrant the arrest and sequestration of a person denounced as being a habitual drnnkard as to enable malicious or prejudiced prosecutors free scope. The measure, if it becomes a law, will inevitably give rise to a host of malicious informers and black-mailers, who will continually busy themselves in laying traps for the keepers of places of public resort and who stand in readiness to blast the reputations of private individuals. No public enthusiasm is shown in support of the proposals. On tho contrary, the prevailing opinion seems to be that the bill

will never operate successfully in any large section of the empire. When the bill was before the Bundesrath, Chancellor Landemann, of Bavaria, induced that body to discriminate between the various forms of drunkenness. It was found practically impossible, however, to classify drinkers of comparatively harmless beer and wine apart from the drunkards who are poisoning themselves with potato spirits. Prosecutions under the bill will follow when two. witnesses of the ofiense shall denounce the culprit, and should the measure ever come into active operation in this city there will be a mighty swarm of convictions. The Center party is divided upon the question of the wisdom of the measure, the majority leaning towards the bill as moral legislation approved by the Vatican. The result depends udod tbs Centrists, and therefore the bill is likely to pass. The discovery by Dr. Pfeiffer, the son-in-law of Professor Koch, of the influenza bacillus, has caused considerable excitement in medical and scientific circles. The public ask of what practical use these revelations can be until a principle for the destruction of tho bacilli shall have been obtained. The discovery of bacilli brings no comfort to the suffering, according to the Japanese physicians. Dr. Kitisato, who is assisting Dr. Pfeitferin his investigations, has, it was recently announced, discovered a cure for tetanus, but the remedy has not yet been tested, and the tetanus bacilli continues to thrive. The report of Dr. Pfeitier, which was recently read at the Charity Hospital, details how the Doctor traced the influenza bacilli, and describes their special character as distinetfrom that of other bacilli. The report concludes with the single practical recommendation to combat infection by removing and destroying the sputum ot persons suffering from mlluenza. and by keeping the surroundings clean and thoroughly disinfected. Robbed by Gang of Thugs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brooklyn, N. Y.. Jan. 9. A dejected, forlorn-looking Individual, . bearing the aristocratic name of Gaston de Leon, was arraigned in the Lee-avenue court, to-day, on the charge of vagrancy. The man tells a remarkable tale. About two months ago, he says, he left Kio Janeiro, Brazil, for this country to collect from Drexel, Morgan & Co. $1,100 deposited there to his credit. He stopped in Havana on his way here, and claims that while in that city be was beaten and robbed by a gang of thugs of all his ready cash and the papers which proved his identity. On his arrival here he went to Drexel, Morgan Co.,' but they would do nothing for him ' be declared, unless ho produced the neces ' sary documents to prove bis claim. Hi trunks and valuables, ho says, are all a the custom-house, but he cannot get them bavin been robbed of the checks in Havana. He does not know what to do. lie was sore from' head to foot, having walked the streets hoping to meet some one

who might justify his claim. For days he had gone without food and he has not slept in bed since his arrival in this city. He was so sincere in his story that the police are inclined to place some' credence in his taieWl br.'r I , ffi370"V At tho office of Drexel, Morgan & Co. it was stated that the man had called there after the money, but. of course they could not give it to him without positive proof that he was the man he claimed to be. The police and custom-house officials are investigating the story. Finance of the World's Fair. Chicago, Jan. 9. Thirty-nine nations and twenty-four colonies have made or officially proposed appropriations for their exhibits at tho world's fair amounting in the aggregate to Sl.0Ol.5G5. The indications are that, at a low estimate, this will be increased to 85,000.000. The States and Territories of the Union have appropriated S2.C95.O00. which will bo largely increased. In nine States, where, for constitutional reasons, no appropriations have been made, organizations of citizens are raising Jl.0C0.0C0. The aggregate of the States is expected to reach j5.000.000. "The United States government has appropriated 81,500,000, The exposition company has raised $5,723,230. Chicago has given a 65,000,000 loan, and the government will be asked to loan or appropriate an equal amount. The cost to the exposition company of constructing and holding the exposition is estimated at $18,500,000, of which 58,000.000 is to be put into the general department building alone, exclusive of the national and State buildings of all sorts. To meet this it is figured that the company will have $23,750,000 of prospective resources, including, in addition to the sums already given, and - exclusive of the proposed snm from the government, $10,000,000 from gate receipts and $3,030,000 for the sale of privileges and salvage. The company has paid out to date $2,TT,.',707, and the current expenditures are about 100.000 per month. The aggregate amount to be spent on the fair by tbo exposition company, tho various States and foreign nations and the federal government is approximated at $80,000,000. ? "Diamond" Kan Amuck. Fl eclsl to the Indianapolis Journal. Peru. Ind.. Jan. 9. An indescribable scene of confusion, coupled with a tremendous uproar, was the one last evening at the winter quarters of Wallace & Co.'a circus near this city. The cause of the trouble lay in the fact that "Diamond," the mammoth elephant, broke loose from his fastenings, and, in his mad fury, started out to do all tho damago that he could. The first thing he met was Mack," the pet bulldog of the circus, and, who has been an .inseparable companion of his for the past five years. He caught him on his tusks and with one toas threw him up and through the sky-light of the building, some forty feet distant. The dog landed outside and with a few bruises, howling, ran away. The next victim of the animal's fury was the pet horse "Davy," and who also has been his constant attendant for the years mentioned. He impaled him with his tusks, tossing him up and down and once throwing him clear across the sixty-foot building. ' Tho inside presented by this time the appearance of a slaughter-house. He next attempted to break down the barriers leading to the other elephants, and in so doing badly damaged the building. Keeper Sweeney had by this time arrived on the scene, and with the assistance of some twenty other men and the liberal use of irons, spears and clubs managed to drive the Irate hack and rechain him. "Diamond' is the largest elephant in the herd, and one of prodigious strength. This is tho first time he has ever done anything of this kind. Revenge Is Sweet. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. . Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 9. Last night about 9 o'clock a bold attempt was mado to assassinate "Ves" Tracy, son of John Tracy, as he was passing along East Pike street toward his home on the corner of Pike and Pine streets. Tracy had been attending prayer-meeting service at the court-house, where he had taken an interesting part. He states that as he was walking along, whistling softly, having his hands in bis pockets,' a man, wearing a large fnr overcoat, suddenly stepped from an alley and faced him. Tho strange man held a revolver in his hand, and remarked as he thrice pulled the trigger. "IJevengo is aweet: I'll even up things now." Tho would-be assassin then disappeared up the alley. Tracy being only a short distance from his home, managed to reach there, and a doctor was summoned. It was found that two shots had taken effect one penetrating the left lung and the

L other entering the left shoulder. The ball mat enierea me suoutaer was removea.ana isa'J2-caliber. Tracy started downtown this morning, to give the police a clew to the man who had attempted to take his life, but tbo doctor sent him home. His lung wound is giving him considerable pain. The police have been busy all day trying to get a clew to the man that did the shooting, and it is probable that he will soon be under arrest. Tracy says that he has no enemy, and can give no explanation for the attempt on his life. " Testified Falsely. Special to the Indian ayolis Jouriwvl. Chicago, Jan. 9. Edward W. Campbell, who was the principal witness against Sidney Bell, who was convicted in San Francisco last summer of the murder of Samuel Jacobson. a somewhat noted "man-about-town," aud sentenced to death today, made a full confession, which was communicated exclusively to the United Press, to the effect that he was forced to testify falsely by tb police authorities, and that the real murderer was one Henry Swartz, whom ho saw escaping from the house a moment after tho shot was tired. The confession, which covers nearly twenty pages . of typewritten manuscript, goes into full details of the alleged conspiracy against Bell, and says that another, witness named Schmidt, who was under indictment for burglary, and committed suicide shortly after testifying against Bell, did so beoause the police had failed to release him as the agreed price for his testimony. Aecording to Campbell's statement Jacobson came home to find his sister in the company of Swartz. A melee ensued, in which Jacobson was shot. This was the opinion largely entertained in San Francisoo at the time of the tragedy. Bell is a native of Columbus, O., and served several years in the United States navy, being discharged with a high record. The confession was at once telegraphed to San Francisco, and a dispatch to-night says that it has set the town wild. MJsonri University Darned. Columbia, Mo., Jan. 9; The main building of the State University of Missouri was destroyed by tire to-night, causing a loss of $400,000. One of the literary societies of the university had arranged to give an entertainment in the chapel, and the audience had jnst assembled when the smell of smoke attracted general attention. Investigation discovered the fact that fire had started in the library and was burning fiercely. The audience dispersed quietly, while the students did all they could to subdne the flames and save the contents of the building. The village fire department could not cope with the flames, and they confined their efforts to saving the adjoining buildings, in which they were successful. The main building was destroyed, and only a small portion of the contents were saved. The loss is $400.000. and the insurance $130,003. The library, consisting of 40.000 volumes, was burned. It was insured for $10,000. The building contained all of the recitation rooms, the chapel and a large auditorium, besides the library. The main part of the building was constructed in 1845, at a cost of S'JCO.000. Two large wings had been added in the last ten years at an additional cost of $xo,ooa Mills Wants to Be Senator. ConsiCANA.Tex.. Jan. 9. In an interview to-day Koger Q. Mills was asked: "Will you be a candidate for the Senate before he called session of the Legislature." He replied, "I will if there should De a called session." "Your opponents say you are opposed to the f reo coinage of silver. W hat have you to say in reply!" "I say what I have said all the time. I have spoken often in Congress and out of it for it, and have already voted for it, but I do not believe that it would in the slightest manner relieve the financial distress of the country. The people of the East, of all. parties and classevtfirmly believe that free coinage would v be disastrous to therm The people of Toxas, at least many of-them. think It would be a great boon to them.

Jan. 9.-Judge Botkin returned this afternoon from Pratt, accompanied by his wife. Gen. Murray Myers, of the State militia, and three armed friends. He at once started lor home, while General Myers went to Springfield to join the troops. Judge Botkin declares firmly that he will remain here until the end of his term unless killed. The appeals of his friends cannot shake his resolution to remain. When informed that Kobert Hntchinson. the man who warned him of the ambuscade, had been arrested with the suspects the Judge showed much emotion and exclaimed, "My God! that man saved mv life. He must be given very protection. If it becomes known that he is my friend he will be mnrdered." Hutchinson joined the organization which plotted Judge Botkin's death forth sole purpose of keeping the Judge informed of the progress of the plot. Judge iiotkin will go to Springfield Monday. and open court nnder military protection. The Judge's house is guarded by a detachment of troops. , . The Crime or Wealth. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 9. Several months ago a miserlv old man named Hit ton, living near Franklin. Ky., found himself at death's door. He bad quarreled with his wife, and desired to keep her from enjoying his estate. He made a servant bring him a nail keg, which he placed on the fire. About this time a maiden sister came in and rescued the keg, which she opened and found contained $70,000 in bonds. These she took home with her for safe-keeping. Old Hilton died, and when an administrator waaannomted his sister

The Journal is first of all a newspaper. Its primary object is to pub lish the news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Besides the service of two great news agencies, which cover foreign countries as well as the entire United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, who give attention to those events and occurrences that are likely to be of particular interest to the Indiana public Its Washington bureau was established for the purpose of looking after matters in which the State and its people are concerned, and is under the management of an Indians man well acquainted with the local business and political issues. It has a correspondent in every town of importance in the State, and 13 constantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its staff of city reporters is large, and its local departments aro unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far better equipped than any other in the State, and welcomes comparison 'with its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With ail it endeavors to be accurate and trustworthy, printing the news, whatever it may-be, without personal or partisan bias. But while the Journal is non-partisan as to news, it is a Republican paper, and sets forth Republican principles. It is important that the people shall read the truth about these principles, and it was with the orject of putting everybody in the way of doing so that the price of the DAILY TOURNAL Was reduced to 15 CENTS A WEEK. l5o other .method of securing a Republican victory at the polls is so certain as the circulation of Republican papers among voters. Since the reduction in price thousands of subscriptions have poured in from all parts of the State, showing that a need was supplied. In order "to have the proper influence and effect upon voters seeking for trustworthy information the Journal should go into their hands at once, and not next spring or summer. Clubs are being formed and agencies established wherever daily mails reach and as rapidly as traveling agents can visit th places, but Republicans in each and every locality cannot do their party greater service than, to interest themselves in circulating the JournaL Tai SUNDAY JOURNAL Is a paper that gives more attention to miscellaneous literature than the other editions, and contains in its sixteen, and often twenty, pages a va, riety of CHOICE READING MATTER That satisfies the most exacting taste. . The same reasons that call for the immediate extension of the daily circulation apply to the weekly. This is carefully edited, with a special view to the wants of Indiana readers, both in its general and political news. Its subscription price, $1, with reduction to clubs, places it within the reach of all, and no campaign contribution can be so effective as when spent in furnishing this paper to readers who need Republican doctrine.
