Ho action of this kind h;is heretofoie bean taken here and previous primaries have aeen money flow like t-r A mor- important action of the committee, however, was the decision that an auditor should be nominated at the coming primary. Th elect r: of an auditor will Brine about one of the at reset political legal fights In the history of the county, as an auditor has already been elected to take office on Jan. 1. 1906. The legal fight in lew Is primarily Induced by th act of the Legislature of 1903 In extending the t rm of office of a number of county osBcers to the first of January next, succeedingthe expiration of the terms of which they were ele ted. Acting on an opinion of the attorney general, the Democrats and Republicans agreed not to nominate candidates for auditor and clerk at the election of Po2. William Lackey, who was a candidate for the nomination f r recorder, was defeat- i In the primary, and James R. RIkkk. the political boss of the Democratic party in this county, had a maw convention called to nominate a clerk, hoping to put Lackey In. Lackey and Rlgg went down in defeat and Tllghman Ogle was nominated. Robert Taylor, the present clerk, seemed to see in this act a blow at him by his political enemy. James M. Lang, auditor of the cour.ty and Democratic county chairman, and Taylor circul ited a petition, and fifteen days before the election had the name of his brother-in-law, C E. Russell, placed on the ticket as a candidate for auditor. The Republicans carried out the agreement not to nominate a candidate for either office, and Russell and Ogle were both elected without opposition. Roth received their commissions from the Governor last fall, and both hld their bonds with the commissioners. Ogle's bond was approved without hesitation, but Russell's bond was refused, the commissioners .showing th ir friendship for Lang. In the Circuit Court Friday a suit brought by Russell to mandate the commissioners to approve his bond was argued and Judge O. R. Harris indicated t his rulings that he would find for Russ.-ll. Present Auditor Ling's term will expire Jan. 1. 19u". He will probably turn over the office to the auditor elected at the coming election and that official will be made defendant In a quo warranto suit which will be brought by Russell.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. (JREHNCASTLK. Ind.. Jan. 17.-A very lure audience gathered in Meharry hall of De Pauw University this afternoon to h;ir in address by l'r sid'-nt Kdwln Holt Hughes. The occasion was notable in two respects: it was the annuai observance of Founders' and Benefactors' day a day of Importance on the De Pauw calendar, and It was the first address delivered -by President Hughes In compliance with the request of the board of trustees that he preach in this city at least once a month. His address was in part as follows: "There are very few people who have ever sought to define the motives that properly give a foundation to the life of service. We say that we should aid men. but if we axe asked why, we usually reply by walking in a circle of words. It is indeed quite a tribute to the holiness of service that so seldom does any one question the duty of helping men. Even th.- famous quotation from Emerson is simply a contention tnat men ought to keep their self-respect and self-reliance. There are three motives that naturally lead men on to the aid of the world. "The first may be called the motive of obligation. The truth is that the race has clone more for us than we can ever hope to do for the race. It has given us conveniences, institutions, blessings of all kind. The library stands not only for the philanthropy of the man who gave the. building, but also for the service of those who wrote the books. If we could follow out the intricate lines of history, we would doubtless discover that there is no man to-day on earth whose ancestor has not rendered us real service. The natural heirs of serving forefathers are everywhere. This thought will take out of all uur service any feeling of self-conscious charitableness. "The second motive is the motive of lelationshlp. Whenever a real relation is granted Immediately there comes up the sense of the duty of service. A man supports his child because It is his child. The relation allowed, the duty follows. This is true more widely. The brotherhood of men admitted, the duty of service for ail needy men comes inevitably. When Cain ut-k-tl his cold and heartless question the vary form of the question answered the question itself, if one is your brother you are his keeper. "The third is the motive of promotion. This does not mean any selfish striving for enlargement. No man can avoid growing into larger and richer life if he really serves his fellows. The test of the Savior as to greatness is not an arbitrary law; it is rather based on the eternal nature of things. If you serve, you cannot avoid being great. Youp ignorance of your promotion will not render that promotion any less real. Often the best benefit that you can render any life is to interest that life in some large cause. "All these thingf fit Into the thought cf this founders' and benefactors' day. We owe much to the men and women who founded and fostered this institution. They rendered the service under their sense of relationship to us through the great Master. In their good work they have promoted both us and th. mselves. To-day we pay our tribute to the army of benefactors.

And out of this hour we shall go with the will to live worthy of all who have brought hither gifts of gold, or mind, or hearty work." SAFE BLOW IX G EPIDEMIC CrackfllKn Have Extended Operations Id Urbana. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. CHAMPAIGN. 111.. Jan. 17.-The epidemic of safe-blowing that has been prevalent In Champaign county and vicinity reached I'rbana late yesterday morning and resulted In the blowing of the safes in the offices of the I'rbana Fuel Company and S. E. Huff & Co.. lumber dealers. At the first place the safe was blown to bits, some of them lodging in tne walls, and the terrific explosion awakened the neighborhood for blocks around. Only a few pennies were in the safe at the time. At the office of Huff & Co. the safe was not locked, but this was not known to the burglars, who first tried to pry off the door with a crowbar, and. failing in this, filled the cracks with nitroglycerin and blew it open, finding only a little over a dollar In change. Both jobs are believed to have been done by the same persons. Another Xeijro Implicated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MCNCIE, Ind.. Jan. 17.

FIGURES FOR DECEMBER

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 17 "King Cotton" made his greatest record In the export figures of the calendar year 1903. Erom lv3 to 1903 cotton exports averaged a little more than $75i,Cm' a day. In 1H03 they averaged more than ll.000.0uo in value per diem; in the last three months of 110 they averaged more than 2.0uO,X)0 per diem, and In the closing month of the year nearly $2,500,OOu per diem. Exports of cotton In December, 1903, show a greater value than In any preceding month in the history of cotton exportation, the total being over $72.000.000, thus averaging $2,500,000 for every day of the month. The value of cotton exports from the United States, as shown by the Department of Commerce and Labor through its Bureau of Statistics, was $378,000,000. These are the preliminary figures, but will not be materially changed by the revised statement to be Issued later in the present month. The total value of the exports exceeds by 000,000 that of the preceding record year 100 when the value of the cotton exported was $31i.M..iMi; The value of cotton exports never reached the $300.000.000 line exempt In the years 1S00. 1901 and 1S03. In 1900 the total was $314,ii0.0Ü0; In 1W1, $301,000,000. and in 1903. $37h.000.oio. While the total value of the year's exports of cotton was the highest on record, the quantity exported did not reach so high a figure as in 1898, when the value waa much below that of 1903. The total quantity exported in 1903 was 3.ß2",oO0,000 pounds, which exceeded that of any preceding year except lS. when the total was 4,178,000.000 pounds. The value of the cotton exports of 1898, however, was only $232,768. 2o4, or less than two-thirds as much as that of 1903, although the quantity in 189$ was 13 .per cent, greater. Cotton forms constantly a very large share of the exports, and especially of the agricultural exports, of the United States, During the entire period from 1883 to 1903 the value of cotton exported has aggregated over five billions of dollars and averaged 25 per cent, of the total exports of domestic products and 36 per cent, of the agricultural products exported. In 1903 cotton formed about 2n per cent, of the total exports and about 38 per cent, of the total exports of agricultural products. The Cnlted Kingdom was in 19o.1 the largest customer for our cotton. The total value of cotton exported from the United States to the United Kingdom in the rslmftar year 1903 was, in round terms. $147,KX).000. and this total of $147.000,000 forms 39 per cent, of our total cotton export In that year. Germany stood second. In the list of our cotton customers, teh total value of our cotton exported to Germany during the year being $111.000.000. France was third in the list of purchasers, our total exports of cotton to that country in 1!J3 being $47.000.000. To Italy, which stood next In the list, the total was $21,000.00; to Russia, nearly $9.000,000; to Belgium, about $8,000,000; to British North America. ST.." o.i Vi; to Japan, about $1.5).''. mid to Mexico a little over $3.ono,ofto. While the United Kingdom Is the largest purchaser of American cotton, her Increase over the preceding year is much less than that of Germany. The total value of our cotton exports to the United Kingdom In the year 1903 aggregated but about $5.000.000 In excess of the total for 19o. while that to Germany exceeded by $23.000.000 the total for 1900. the former record year.

SATISFACTORY WEEK IN THE INDIANA OIL FIELD Initial Production of Xew Wells Is Large and the Average Is Holding Up Well. INCENTIVE TO DRILLING ?per!a! to the Indianapolis Journal. TOLEDO, O., Jan. 17. Reports from the older producing oil fields have been rather more favorable during the past week, although there has been little or no diminution In the percentage of dry holes reported. The proportion of wells showing large Initial production has been larger, and the average of wells has Increased materially. There has been no Important increase In new work, but the good results reported during the past week probably will stimulate development operations and an increasing output Is looked for. The results in Ohio and Indiana have shown improvement, but a considerable decrease in stocks above ground may be the result, on account of heavy shipments of the crude product, which naturally should cause an advance in credit balances. The Kansas field is showing some remarkable wells and the product Is of a high grade. The new southern Indiana field Is striving for production, but so far. with thirteen wells completed, there are eight producers and five dry holes. The producing wells have a daily output of but fifty barrels. The Kentucky field is showing better than for several years. During the past week in Ohio and Indiana 14 wells were completedy. of which twenty-three were dry and tho Initial production was 6.683 barrels.

DR. BRIGGS STARTS SOME MORE TROUBLE Fainous Disputant to Be Examined Concerning Views Expressed in a Recent Paper. NEW YORK, Jan. 17 The Rev. Du Charles A. Briggs, of the staff of Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and professor in the Union Theological Seminary, has started another controversy.
