Landis of this city, who was nominated as the republican candidate for congress from this, the Tenth, district at the turbulent convention held at Hammond on the 24th of May, has withdrawn from the contest. His withdrawal Is in the shape of a letter addressed to Charles Harley, chairman of the district committee. In it he expresses the belief that he would have been able to carry the district, but the conviction that the split in the district WQUld have endangered several county tlckets. including members of the legislature, prompted him to step allele in the Interest of harmony and general republican success. He states that he actively sought the nomination, believing he could serve the di3trict and reflect some degree of credit on himself, but preferred general republican aueeesa to the realization of his own personal ambition. The step he takes, he says, 1 contrary to tha advice and wishes of many of his xnoet enthusiastic supporters, but he relies upon time and results to vindicate the wisdom of his course. 'Promptly upon the receipt of the letter of Mr. LandLs, Chairman Harley sent cut letters ta the various county chairmen, calling a meeting of the district committee to be held at Logansport next Tuesday to select a time and place for holding another convention to nominate .another candidate. It is not the purpose to recognize In any way the rump convention held at Hammond last Tuesday, which nominated Johnston, and the plan is to select a candidate who has been In no way Identified with the tight, which ha3 In all probability lost the republicans this district, no matter whom they may nominate. VALPARAISO, July 23. Special. Judgi Johnson, -who was nominated for congress in a recent republican rump convention dn Hammond, had intended until Sunday to hold on to his nomination. No onu could make him believe that he could not defeat both Landis and Zimmerman. He is just bull-headed enough to think that he was popular enough In thiä district to get more votes than either one of his opponents, or perhaps both put together. The Landis letter declining the nomination suggested to the judge that he had better think the matter over once more, which he did, when he came to the conclusion to decline. His letter accepting the nomination was about ready to be launched. Now he has tiled it away among the archives of his family and prepared another declining the honor. The district committee will met tomorrow In Logansport end it w ill dei-lde where and how to call another convention. The party Is. however, badly demoralized in the district, anJ it looks as if Valentine Zimmerman, the democratic nominee, would have a walk-over. DELPHi, July 23. Special. The withdrawal of C. 1J. l,andls from the race for cnsrress was' a great surprise, as his candidacy appeared brighter since Johnson's nomination. He claims his withdrawal was not from fear of his defeat, but that a widespread demoralization in the ranks endangered their state and loc-il tickets, and for this reason he steps down and out. Another convention will be called and a new man selected. The present indications point to the Hon. K. P. Hammond of Rensselaer. Judge J. H. Gould of this county could undoubtedly feet the nomination If he desired. The nomination of the Hon. V. Zimmerman by the Hammond democratic convention struck disma among republican leaders. Certain defeat stared them in the face and no third ohoice ran repair the breach. The fight having1 been one for spoils, has distrusted the people and the surrender of the two political combatants will leave their friends in no mood to fall in love with a. dark horse. cntsiiED iv a Ti:nmni.n mixneu.

Herron was selling liquor under federal permit by the quart, but refused to sell on Sunday, and this is what led to his cruel whipping. AXOTHKIl SWIM) I.E. Fnrmera of Madlnon t'nnnty Token In n WhfBt Fake. AXDERSOX. July 20. Social. Agents claiming to represent an eastern firm are trying to work a ralher slick scheme on the farmers of the north part of the county, and if all reports are trua have succeeded in beating several men who usually investigate matters and things before taking hold of them. The scheme is something similar ta the French coach horse swindle that was worked on certain farmers in the north, part of the county some time ago. The agents have a new variety of wheat which they carry with them, showing it both in the grain and head, and claiming that It will produce from fifteen to twenty "bushels mor on the acre than any other kind of wheat. They will not sell a bushel of the wheat, but propose to furnish it to farmers and take half of the crop that It will produce. This is furnishing seed wheat with the prospect of getting a rather large return. Villiam iKrk, a wealthy farmer of Monroe township, today said: 'It is a pretty fair sheme to gull gudeons with, but If anybody wants seed wheat and will come to my neighborhood I will guarantee that he can buy 5,000 bushel3 of the same kind of wheat. I hive examined it and I know exactly what I am talking about. It is pimply a fraud, and the farmer wh bites at it will get caught. Aviiv it nit;s Finn. The Sheriff of M-iirilson County Would MuUe Too Much Money. ANDERSON, July 17. Special. The sheriff of Madison county now lias In sight a fat take that will insure him rest and ieace !1 of the remaining days of his life. Many have rondered why the famous DePauw plaa glass works, which the Floyd circuit court ordered sold to straighten up the indebtedness of the DePauw estate, has not been placed under the hammer. The reason is that under the present laws of Indiana the 5S00.0M valuation of the plant would entitle the sheriff of Madison- county a fee of exactly $12,000, a sum which the owners think exorbitant for the small amount of work necessitated In handling the nineteen foreclosures. A movement is n-ow on foot to compromise the matter and as soon as terms are agreed upon the sale will be made. There is a scheme now on foot to reorganiz2 the DePauw glass company and place the plant In operation. This, however, is also retarded by the fact that the 512,000 bobs up again. It is dirTicult to predict Just how the matter will terminate. It is doubtful If the fee, which is prescribed by law, can be changed. WHITK-CAPPKRS AG AI.

After threa days' waiting he sowed r.fndn and finished the field. He used the tame quality of seed all tha time. Now the curious features of the case coma in. The entire field shows a heavy crop, but the first sowing is the best and a distinct line can be Keen where the first drilling ended. Then, the second sowing contains a good deal of smut, while the first and third sowings have practically none. He is inclined to think, therefore, that the smut is the result of the weather at some peculiar stage of the development of the plant during its period of growth. Stale Mine Iuieetor' Report.
