The Southerner who predicted a race war in the north is smiling ont of both corners of hiß mouth.

When an innocent white girl is assaulted by a brute of a negro, it is not to be wondered at that the passions of aome men become so aroused that they are in a mood for lynching. The only remedy is to stop quibbling with the law and give these brutes the legal punishment they deserve, and without 1038 of time. They are deserving of death, hnt it should be administered on the gallows and by the sheriff.

John W. Holtzman who was nominated by the democrats of Indianapolis last Saturday for mayor, formerly resided in White county, and twenty years ago run a barber shop in Brookston. He went to Indianapolis in 1883 and began the study of law and is now one of the foremost lawyers of that city and a very popular and respected citizen. He will receive the combined vote of the democrats and the better element of republicans who have become thoroughly disgusted with Bookwalterism and what it stands for, and his election seems assured.

An anomalous and unedifing situation exists in the postoffice Department where the investigation still drags on under the most unfavorable circumstances. Robert J. Wynne, first assistant, is acting Postmaster General but is under such strict orders that he dares not say a word as to the progress of the investigation nor even discharge employes found to have been guilty of actual dishonesty. Postmaster General Payne is away from Washington, cruising about on a Goverment revenue cutter, bat so restricted are the powers of acting Postmaster General Wynne that Mr. Payne left tbe signed discharge of Charles Hedges when he went away so that if the result of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow’s investigation proved dishonestly on Hedges part he could be gotten rid of without awaiting Mr. Payne’s return.

A writer in an Indianapolis paper says, in writing of J. Frank Hanly: Mr. Hanly is being criticised not a little because he is making his race on the strength of the fact that he was ouce a ditcher and still insists on parting his name in the middle. The ordinary ditcher does not. sign his

name “P. Barney O’Donohue,” but plain “Pat O’Donoghue.” The idea that Mr. Hanly should make a play for public support ou the theory that he was once a ditcher and still cling tenaciously to the “J. Frank” handle of his name is regarded as sublimely ridiculous. It is pointed out that Hanly should take a warning from another fastidious republican who made the mistake of parting his name in the middle— J. Sloat Fassett of New York. J. Sloat was nominated for governor of the Empire state and he, too, had all of the elements of bossism and machine politics behind him. On election day a certain distinguished democrat—Grover Cleveland by name —wiped up the Hon. J. Sloat by the biggest majority ever received by a candidate for governor in New York. There is | a mischievous disposition among [ the republican brethern of this

state to have fun with the ditohsr candidate for parting his name in the middle, and even Secretary of State Storms, because he hails from the same town as Mr. Hanly, is getting getting letters Addressed to“D. Edward Storms.”

Apropos “Honest Abe's” libel suit against The Democrat editor for stating that there were unpaid judgments on the judgment dockets of this oonnty against him (Abe), we had a quarter of an hour’s time to spare while at the court house Tuesday and thought we would take the trouble to see if Abe had wiped all these judgments oat since commencing this suit, and we ran through judgment Docket No. 4, in the olerk’s offioe. Unsatisfied judgments were found against Abraham Halleek at pagea 115, 130,149,151,153 (two), 157, 171, 180,185,187, 295, a total of 12 in this one docket alone, and there are others. One of these is for $1,287,69, and costs. We merely mention this to show that when the statement was made in The Democrat for which Abe instituted libel proceedings, we knew very neaT what we were saying, and that the suit is a mere bluff. Proof of the statement is all that is nesessary to acquit.

A Sailer of Bravery.

What threatened to be one of the worst disasters in the history of shipping was the burning of the Ocean Monarch. The fire was discovered In her fore bold an hour or two only after ■he left the Mersey. There was a strong breese, and she was beaded for the Welsh coast. By aome unlucky accident an anchor waa dropped, and the big ship was brought up all standing bead to the wind. The flames came roaring aft, where 000 passengers and crew were crowded. A Brasilian frigate, a yacht and a pilot boat were near, but they only attempted to pick up those who jumped and swam. Suddenly up came an American clipper and rounded into the wind barely 200 yards away. In her first boat was Frederick Jerome, only an able seaman, but one of the bravest seamen that ever lived. In a flash his boat waa alongside the burning ship, and be climbed on deck amid the scorch and smother. There he stayed until the last soul of 600 was saved. Bla clothes were on fire seven separate times, and he waa scorched almost beyond recognition. His only reward was the medal of the American Humana society.—Pearson’s.

The Zodiacal Light.

The name of "zodiacal light” has been given to a singular appearance frequently witnessed soon after sunset or Just before sunrise. It may be seen at all seasons of the year in low latitudes and la obviously due to illuminated matter surrounding the son in a very flat or lenticular form, nearly coinciding with the plane of the ecliptic, or, rather, with the sun’a equator. The attention of astronomers waa first directed to it in the year 1683 by Oaaslnl and was long regarded as being the sun’s atmosphere. This idea, It is now .thought, is incorrect, it being generally believed at the present time to consist of an immense assemblage of rocks, sand, cosmlcal dust, fragments of met. al, etc., such as the earth is continually encountering in the form of aerolites or meteorites. It may not be ont of place to mention in this connection that the rings of Saturn are believed to be composed of similar materials.

The Decadence.

Mr. Herlihy looked at his latest photograph, taken in his Sunday clothes, and his gaze bespoke keen disappointment. "Oi’d never ’a’ had this tuk if it hadn’t been for thim children telling me about the improvements in photographing,” he muttered, holding the card upon which his likeness was mounted farther and farther away. “Improvements Is it? Oi’d loike to show this plctur’ soide be soide wid the wan Oi had twinty years ago and lave It to annybody which o’ thim two made the betther man o’ me. There’s an old, anxious, toired out look to this new wan that was nlver in the other. “There may be improvements in photographing,” said Mr. Herlihy as he deposited the cabinet Bized card face down in his table drawer, “but Oi’ve yit to see thim.”—Youth’s Companion.

Ether Vibrations.

The effect of movements in the ether depends upon tbe rapidity of the vibrations producing them. The unit of measurement for Bbort waves in the ether is the bicron, which is about one twenty-five millionth of an inch. Waves measuring 380 to 810 bicrons affect our sense of sight, the former number giving violet and the latter red color. The Invisible rays, to which the actinic and Roentgen rays belong, are shorter and have been measured as short as 100 bicrons. Ether waves longer than those giving light give the feeling es warmth. Tbe longest heat waves are eight times the length of those of the red rays, or one three hundred and fiftieth of an inch.

Medical Perils.

In Baluchistan when a physician gives a dose be is expected to partake of a similar one himself as a guarantee of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands the relatives, though they rarely exercise it, have the right of putting him to death unless a special agreement has been made freeing him from all responsibility as to consequences, while if they should decide upon Immolating him he is fully expected to yield to hia fate like a man.

Willing to Compromise.

Mamma—Ob. you bad boy I Where have yon been all this time? Don’t yon think you should be ashamed to worry your mother so? ~fhe Boy-Well, ma, I’m willin’ to be ashamed that I worried yon if you’ll promise not to tell pa anything that ’ll worry me.—Boston Journal.

Willing He Should Smoke.

“Any objections to my smoking here?" asked the offensively cheerful m.n aa the vessel gave another disquieting lurch. "None,’’ replied the pale chap In the steamer chair, "here—or hereafter!”— Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

The Safe Side.

“You’ll be sorry some day that you didn’t get married If you don’t.” “Well, I’d rather not be married and be sorry I wasn’t than to be married and be sorry I was.”—Ban Francisco Wasp. Hs who brlggSv. ridicule to bear •gainst truth finds In his hand a Made without a hilt—La odor.

Jt tali it The Tie That Binds. It Never Slips. Why make weak and Destructive Fences When the INDIANA ANCHOR FENCE COMPANY will sell the Raw Material and do your own fencing or we will build yonr fence. Estimates made on application. Good fences makes good neighbors; Strong wire makes good fences; Boards and nails are too-expensive; Merit alone can stand the test of time; Old barb or smooth wire fences can be re-made better by using the Anchor System. All stays are made of No. 8 galvanized steel wire and are strong enough to support the fence. With automatic ratchet it adjusts itself thus preventing the breaking or sagging of your fence. This fenoe will not hurt your horses or cattle, sheep will not lose their wool on it and cattle and hogs cannot lift it to get through it. The Anchor Fence Is the best In the world-dust the fence for School Houses and Cemeteries. The Anchor Company makes a farm wire bound gate, that is light and strong and cheap. Also ornamental gates and and fences made on the Anchor System by clamping. Local township agents wanted in Jasper and Newton counties. Write or address , JOHN O’CONNOR, Agent, Jasper Co., Ind.

Southern Frail and Vegetable Growing. The fertile lands along the Louisville & Nashville R. R. in Alabama, West Florida.and Mississippi are veritable bonanzas for the fruit grower and truck gardner. One man sold from one single acre, ioo barrels of radishes for $900.00, gross; another patch of 4 acres radishes yielded $1463.00 net. In the spring of 1902, another truck gardner sold 300 barrels of potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres of ground for $1,548, and after paying all expenses, cleared $892.00, or $297.32 per acre. Within two weeks after selling his potatoes, corn was up and watermelon vines were running on the same land. He harvested his corn, sold bis melons, and afterwards cut two crops of hay off of the same land; and on January 20, 1903, was planting it again iu potatoes. Strawber/ies yield from S3OO 00 to $550.00 per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts of luscious berries have been grown on a single acre. Address G. A. PARK, QBNBRAk INDUSTRIAL.
