Announcement of Candidates. ASSESSOR, BARKLEY TP,HORAITO ROPP Is a candidate for the nomination for Assessor for Barkley Township, subject to the decision of the democratic township convention. The supreme court rendered a decision a few days ago upholding the famous Barrett improvement law. Conventions may make platforms but events make issues and those for this fall made up. We nre using the wrong Maxims on the Filipinos. The bullets of that brand should be transformed into other maxims like the golden rule. » John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, has received - $24,000,000 in dividends on his holdings of Standard Oil 6toek since January 1. The State Department has rejected the Sultan's offer to rebuild those houses. Something more spectacular is needed to tire the American heart in a Presidential year.

Mark Hanna says that McKinley haw always been in touch with the Republican party. Wouldn’t it be more accurate to Bay that the Republican party has alwnys been touching him tor colonial loot? ' As waa feared, the “looters” in the Senate have blocked the legislation so earnestly asked* by the President, rather than put any obstacles in the way of the executive council of Porto Rico in nerving pie whore it will do the most good. One of the most amusing things in current politics is the attitude of some of the republican organs on the Porto Rican question. A month ago they'were denouncii g the tariff d<jwn there as the sum of all evil. Now they are saving that it is the wisest and best thing I possible. I

The laboring men of the large cities are wanting a share of this prosperity which the republican ] press is telling them about every, j day, inasmuch as the cost of living < has doubled, and 100,000 are on a j strike for an increase of pay. , The prohibition state conven- \ tion nominated Chas. M. Eckhart , of Auburn, for governor, and R. B. ] Clark of Evansville, for lieut-gov- < ernor. I. S. Wade of Lafayette, j well known here, was nominated for reporter of the supreme court < Boston is to have a new cold * storage plant with a c apacity of 2, j 000,000 feet Heavens! The Boston girl’s heart and head have al- ] ways been cold enough and now ] that she is going to freeze her feet, < the men had better begin to migrate. Every party hath its own griefs * and evey heart knoweth its own ; sorrows. Representative Sibley ( has gone over to the Republicans and Senator Wellington nas come over to the Democrats. Each party caij now condole with the other on its accessions. The popularity of ex-Treasurer J. C. Gwin in his own home—the 3rd ward—was fully demonstrated in Tuesday’s election. With a republican majority of 86—the largest of any ward in the city—he received but 81 votes, while J. C. Chilcote, democrat, received 112. The Ohio Republican convention has something to say about “so-called” trusts. This is good. Ohio Republicans evidently consider trusts in a sort of Christian science wffy. The rest of the country, however, has an idea that an “impression” of trusts can be eradicated by an “impression” of law. The populists at their state convention at Indianapolis this week resoluted against the administration of Hanna, McKinley & Co., and against the Porto Rioan tariff policy, declared in favor of the government issuing all money, the election of U. S. senators by the people, and instructed their delegates to the national convention to support Bryan for president. There will be no army reorganization and no ship subsidy steal at this session at least. The Democratic Senators have served notice on the Republicans that unless they promise not to try to pass them until next winter, filibustering will be resorted to against every measure that comes up in the Senate. The Republicans have yielded. Thus the inability of the Senate to close debate is, sometimes of real value to the country after all.

The senior republican organ says that Mr. Wallace, proprietor of that great gambling aggregation known as the Wallace shows, is having lots of trouble in securing men to go with his circus, “all of which results from sound money republican prosperity.” Well, perhaps this is true to some extent. Many of the “Hey Rube” boys are no douty engaged with the Hanna-McKinley circus, shooting “niggers” in the Philippines. However, we noticed in Tuesday’s dispatches to tho daily press that the Chicago & Erie railroad had a surplus of prosperity and had laid off 13 locomotives between Chicago and Marion, Ohio, and retired 58 tireman and 18 engineers; also that the Wabash road was closing a great many of its night telegraph offices “to reduce expenses.” The 12 plants that were shut down last week by the Federal Steel trust would probably furnish a few men also, as some (5,000 were thrown out of employment, because of an over production of "prosperity.” It would seem that Mr. Wallace ought not to have much trouble in finding men anxious enough to get work to take even so mean a job as traveling with a circus.

JOHN C. CHILCOTE.

The new city councilman from the 3d ward. With a clear majority of 86 against him, Mr. Chilcote received 112 votes out of a total of 199 votes polled, his opponent receiving but 81, or 5 less than the normal republican majority in the ward.

The Circuit Court.

This is the last week of the term and but little has been done so far of importance. On Thursday Judge Palmer was here and the old Iroquois ditch costs matter was rehashed and issues made up for trying the case. A special session of court will probably be held here by Judge Palmer about June 12 to try the case. Yesterday a jury was called on special venire to try the appealed case from Wheatfield, where one Archer of Kniman, was fined and costed for dumping a showman’s outfit out of the school building at Kniman, mention of which was made in our columns last week. There are one or two other state cases we understand which might come up providing the parties can be found and arrested. As no arrests have been made at this writing we are unable to give the nature of the cases. The Reese divorce case was also set for yesterday.

Look for the Warming.

Heart disease kills suddenly, but never without warning. The warnings mar be faint and brief, or may be startling and extend over many years, but they are none the Ims certain and positive. Too often the victim is deceived by the thought, “it will pass away.” Alas, it never passes away voluntarily. Once installed, heart disease never gets better of Itself. If Dr. Miler Heart Cure is used in the early stages recovery is absolutely certain in svery case where its use is persisted in. “For many years I was a great sufferer from heart disease before I finally found relief. I was subject to fainting and sinking spells, fullness about the heart, and was unable to attend to my household duties. I tried nearly every remedy that was recommended to me and doctored with the leading physicians of this section but obtained no help until I began taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. It nas done me more good than all the medicine I ever took.” Mbs. Anna Hollow at, Geneva, ind. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is sold at all druggists on a positive guarantee.
