Stephen Harding-, a Promlnttnt Politician, Very I1L J,AWREN-CErrRO, Feb. S. Special. The non. Stephen Harding, once a prominent fgure in politics of this state and the nation, is lying at his home in Milan in a Tery precarious condition. For many years he has teen troubled wiih a disease of the heart, and this, with his advanced age and a complication of diseases, it is feared will end fatally in a short time. Mr, HardiDg is now eighty-three years old, and has been blind for a number of years, thus being doubly afflicted. During the administration of President Lincoln he W2S appointed territorial governor of Utah, which place he ield until in one of his messages he called attention to the growing evil of polygamy, which so incensed the people of the territory that it was found convenient to recall him. After living in private life awhile he was. appointed federal judge of the territory of Colorado, and here again his sense of in.-tiee and honesty worked his fall. "When the question was first agitated as to the admission of Colorado into the Union, a clique of politicians had matters arranged to enable them to get all the ofTices of any account, and their Fcbem1 bid fair to succeed, until it was iomsd that Judge Harding would not nia'r-e affidavit ti. at the iHjpulation of the territory was sufficient to entitle it to the honor of being admitted as a state, and his refusal to take such action prevented the territory from becoming a state for several years, and again incurred for him ,the enmity of the ruling cla.s, but for reveral years longer he administered justice among a people, who though disliking him, could not fail to give full credit to his honesty. He was a fullfledged "Free-soiler" in the days whpn it cost something to avow cuch "principles, tf.nd mainly through his friendship with 'Secretary Chase, who held eimilar views, 'did he gain his political positions. After his residence in the "West he settled down to lead a life of quiet in the house he now occupies, but up to the time his eyesight failed he wrote considerable on various eubjects and many of his poems were gems of pure and original merit, being published in the leading periodicals of that time. He now lies at his home in a semi-conscious condition, any moment being apt to close his career. He is almost the last of the old school of politicians in this section of Indiana, and was a brother of the late Dr. Myron II. Harding ot this place. EDWARD COREY WINS AGAIN. The Champion Heavy Weight of Indiana Whip Tim Fell. Veedersbcrg, Feb. 5. Special.

In the second both went to the center quickly and spared cautionsly for an opening and then went to work to please the crowd. Fell aimed a knock-out blow at Corey's neck and the latter made as pretty a dodge as was ever seen in the ring, but planted a good one in Corey's ribs. Third Round Both came np smiling and did some light tapping until Corey lound an opening and bit Jf ell ou the neck, placing him upon the ropes. He followed up the advantage and fairly rained blow after blow in f l a face and body until he fell on th& floor and conld cot regain his feet until time was called.

BIDDING FOR TflE FAIR SITE

SPECULATORS NAME THEIR PRICES. Tonr Bids Received by tbe Board ef Agrleoltnra For tha Valuable State Fair Ground Tbe Bart a Little Disappointed Th a Bids and Bidders, The etato board of agriculture convened Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and as all the members had been notified that business of importance was on hand, a full complement of members, sixteen in all, were present. Some routine business was disposed of at the morning session and a discussion of the subject of new sites for the fair grounds was had. The general sentiment of the board was unanimous in favor of selling the old grounds at a price approximating the value of the property. A number of real estate agents and land speculators listened to these d:scusiong with attentive cars, and when Deputy Secretary of the Ikwd Kmmet Ro.o came in with a formidable looking bundlo of documents, it was supposed that the bids would be offered at once. However, with the consent of all, the matter was deferred until the afternoon, and Mr. Ro?e explamed that twenty-six of the sealed package? contained proposals to sell sites to the board, while only four were bids for the present site. It was decided not to discus the repurchase of grounds until the old sito was disposed of. The correspondence of the fecrfjtary's office, relating to exhibits and kindred subjecta, was read and referred to the committee. Promptly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the gavel, wielded bv President Banks, summoned the board to order. "We wi'd now proceed, gentlemen, to consider the sealed bids," was the announcement cf the chair that caued the members and real estate agents present to give breathless attention at once, while Mr. Rose deliberately opened and read the proposals. The first bid opened was presented by Thomas B. Jackson of the Van Camp packing company and a brother-in-law of Cortland Van Camp. It is declared on good authority that the bid was made in the interest of the Van Camps. This proposition ofl'ered $227,000 for the fiftysix acres, of w hich sum $4",000 was to b cash, $45,000 in one year, $45,000 in two years and the remainder in four years, interest cn monev at 6 per cent. The second bid read was made in the name of II. H. Beville, who is said tor be acting for John J. Cooper and others. This bid offered $217,000, of which 5100,000 would be paid in sixty days after the acceptance of the bid by the "board, and the remainder in two years. Mr. Beville ofiered to deposit $10,0 0 aa a guarantee if his bid were favorably considered. Mr. Charies F. Robbins presented the third bid. The inference is made on good authority that Mr. Robbins was acting for Judge Lamb and a Terre Haute syndicate. His o.-er was $L'03,0U0, ot which one-third is cash and the remainder will be paid in two equal yearly payments, lue bid Etated that o,UUO would be deposited as a guarantee. Ihe last bid, and one which the individ ual members of the board seemed to favor more than the others, was for $273,000, of which sum $25,000 was to be a cash pay ment; ?2o,000 in one vear, SJJ,(KX) in five years, $50,000 in ten, $30,000 in fifteen, and the remainder at the end of twenty years. The amount of indebtedness to bo covered with bonds bearing interest at 5 per cent, and the bid stating that the proposition would be open for sixtvdays and that its features could be amended. Upon motion of R. M. Lockhart the further consideration of the bids was postponed and the routine work of the board taken up. The bids will be further considered before the adjournment of the board, which meets again today, but, as many of the members declared, it was quite possible nothing would be done until it can be seen what will be done with the industrial board bi.l. The members of the state board of agriculture spent most of the day "Wednesday in wrestling with the question of premiums. However, the matter of the bids aeain came up and was referred to a special committee, consisting of J. N. Davidson, R. M. Lockhart and E. H. Peed, with instructions to report at the afternoon session. The committee retired to caucus and consider the bids and the revision and correction of the premium list proceded. The afternoon session was very similar to that of tbe morning, and the routine work of the board was siowly but surely disposed of. About 4 o'clock the committee appointed in the morning sijnined its willingness to report, and accordingly the president called on Mr. Lockhart, the chairman, who read the following sagacious conclusion of the committee: Your committee, to whom was referred the bids for the purchase of the Indiana state fair grounds, have had the same under consideration and ben leave to submit the following;: We have carefully examined the bids made in accordance with the advertisment of the board and find the price ollered to be much

Your committee haa endeavored to aacervaia from competent men tbe value of real estate in the city of Indianapolis in tfca vicinity of the present fair ground, and would recommend tbat tbe board reject all bid to tb ie date. We would furtber recommend that this board do now ofer for sale the state fair grounds, consisting of fifty six aeres, more or lea, for the eum of $3X.0(KI. Tbe board referring the right to remove from said Krouuda all builainci except tbe main expomlioa building. Payment's for the md to be made in such auuia and at such tin.es a may be mutually agreed on between the board and purchasers. This report was adopted unanimously by the board. "You see," said Mr. lxickhart to a Sextixel reporter in explanation, "that the bid of $275,000 could not mett the case because the paynienis are deferred too lonp. The outstanding indebtedness of the board, which is covered by mortgages on the ground, amounts to Pome $7),UO0. The board could ucceit no olFer thut would not allow it at once to lift tins mortgage. Of course bonds might be satisfactory ta the parties who hold the inortg-.ges in lieu of money, but we would havu to have enough cash to secure new grounds and erect, ihe necest-nry buildings for tho next state fair, which will certainly be held on the new grounds, if we can pos-iNy dispose of the old grounds at a good r rice." President Bank remarked tbat the statement a1? published in the AVjv of Tuesday was erroneoiH and misleading. "It is certainly the opinion of the int mbrs," he said, "that the next fair should beheld on tha new grounds, and there is no earthly reason why it cannot be done if the present grounds can be fold by April. The S:a' lu.r Grounds. The state board of agriculture was guaranteed $300,000 by the bid recently submitted by Judge Martindale. His proposition was to take the grounds, and.

as the agent of Allen Fletcher, advance $100,000, which sum would cowr tho mortgages on the fite. Then Mr. Martindsle, as a trustee, would dispose of the old grounds and pay the board from tbe proceed. Several other propositions are expected by Secretary Bagley, and the board may reassemble eoon to consider the bids. VOICES OF THE PRESS. The Teru Sentinel declares: "The tiraa that the new fees and falaries for county officers shall go into force seems to be the hardest problem for our legislators to solve. Iet the two extremes meet halt way and compromise. This is the only way out of the difficulty." The Tipton Advocate states: "The legislature will not reform the uujust printers' fees. Thousands of dollars can be saved tax-payers if printers' fees are regulated Eame as all other public works are. Com petion should operate in printers' fees at well as all other contracts." The Kokomo Gaztttc-Trihvne snys: "Tlu fee and salary biil reported to the hous from the proper committe has on its fac the appearance of n.erit. 'Ihe democrat pledged the people to enact such a la and to do it at once and n ake it cperativt and binding without delay." This from the Honcock J-fersonian: "TnE Sentinel says pay all oliices fixed salaries; all fees to be turned into the public treasury. This is what the people demand; this is what the democratic party promised. The demand will be met; the promise will be kept." The Huntington D-'mocrat 6ays: "If a law is passed by the present legislature that will make it possible to have something like an honest listing of property, tho state would soon pay oil its debt. As it is at present, the poor man pays more than lii.-a proportionate 6hare of taxation. Corporations and the very wealthy are not properly taxed under the present law. Let there be such a change in the law as will make all things equal in the matter of taxation." fiiticura So an BKLU lV- r-"-aby nuMons. BAD COMPLEXION'S, with pimply, blotchy. e.Hy skin. lied.
