The Indianapolis Journal, the republican state organ for the past half century, has been absorbed by the Indianapolis Star, independent, and the republicans are without an organ.

Lake county republican politicians are now wondering if Mr. Wilson will be a candidate for nomination for re-election as joint-representative. The convention is to be held in Rensselaer, June 25, and Jasper county already has two announced candidates for the nomination—O. A. Yeoman of Virgie, and Geo. A. Williams of Rensselaer. Lake county thinks she ought to furnish the nominee, and there will probably be considerable ill feeling over the choice. We understand Mr. Wilson will not be a candidate for the place. Wilson was given the representative office —with a promise of still further honors—to get out of the way of Hanley for circuit Judge, and it is hardly treating him right to shelve him at this time.

The anti-Saloon League of Indiana will, it is announced, ask the next legislature to strengthen the Nicholson temperance law by an amendment providing that where a remonstrance signed by the voters in a ward or township, and properly tiled with the county auditor throe days before the first day of any regular session of the board of county commissioners, such remonstrance shall be sufficient as against all applicants for liquor license in such township or ward for a period of two years. The temperance people claim that, under the law as now in force, applications for licenses bob up each month in the name of some relative of the defeated saloon-keeper or some person who allows his name to be used for such purposes, and it becomes necessary to file a new remonstrance against each applicant. In many communities, they say, this has been kept up until the saloon keepers have worn the temperance people oat and finally secured a license, thus breaking down the will of the majority. The liquor people will also ask that some changes be made in the Nicholson law, it Is said. They want the power of attorney feature of the remonstrance clause wiped out.

London, June 9. A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram company from St Petersburg transmits the following from Llao-Yang: “The Japanese June 6, (according to Chinese reports, made several sustained and stubborn attacks on Port Arthur, simultaneously by land and sea.

St. Petersburg, June 9.—One of the most prominent officials of the war office told the correspondent of the Associated Press that Important news from the front was expected within three days.

TluUr tiect of twenty-five transports loaded with war muterial and provisions which was lying off Kin-Chau lias disappeared. Stores for the Japanese army are reaching Kin-Chau from all directions. Shanghai Hears Some News. London, June 9.—The Shanghai correspondent of The Morning Post telegraphs under date of June 8: “General Stukelberg’s Russian brigade marching in the direction of Port Arthur suffered a reverse on Saturday near Wafangtien and retired to Tusbiehiao.”

HUNT FOR A LOST BOY

Seeleyville People Believe Dr. Byers’ Little Son Wae Kidnaped by Gypsies. ts SEABJ.T TWOWEEKS Klßß^|g Money Needed to Keep Up the Search —Heraethieves Swindle Farmers—Hooaier State News.

Brazil, Ind., June 10.—J. 0. Phillips, #f Seelyville.. heads a committee tyat is soliciting funds in Brazil to prosecute the search for the son of Dr. Byers. The committee says that while the reward fund la now about S7OO, there is no money to meet the expenses of those whe are making the search for the child. The citizens of Seelyville, nearly all of whom are miners, or laboring men, have given up their work to participate in the hunt and have spent their own money until their resources are now at an end.

Honay Naedad to Continua tha Sasrch. These searchers are determined, howver, not to give up the task of fludng the boy, but the committee is asking for funds, that a select number of men may continue the search, While the others return to their work at home. Hardly a moment’s work has been done by the people of the town since the child disappeared a week ago last Sunday.

Casa of Kidnaping Sure. Phillips says that the belief that the child was killed by falling into a well or an abandoned coal mine is no longer entertained. The whole town is satisfied that the boy had been kidnapped, and it is believed that he is in the hands of a band of Gypsies which was seen at Lyford, north of Terre Haute, the day after the boy disappeared. There was a boy with these Gypsies who answered the description of the Byers child. Their actions aroused suspicion, bui as soon as they were questioned they became angry and hastily departed., going north.

Gypsies Keep Armed Guard. Two Seelyville men took up this clew and followed the party, about two days behiud them, until the northern part of the state was reached, when the funds of the pursuers gave out and they were forced to return home. They say they learned enough to know that the band is a desperate one and that they kept an armed guard around their camp at night, allowing no one to approach. It is to pay the expenses of a party to follow this band that subscriptions are now being sought.
