INDIANA NORMAL BARS FOOTBALL.

Muncie, Ind., Sept. 13. —The faculty of the Indiana Normal College, of this city, has caused a loud protest from the students by the following resolution: “Football has during the last deoade grown from an infant sport to an overgrown product of atheletics. It was introduced for the benefit of the student body, It was rough to begin with, but it has grown, under the olever coach and villainous player, to be little more than a scientific display of rowdyism. So strong and chronic has this phase of the game beoome that all colleges have considered the advisability of ousting the game, and some of the leading institutions of the country have condemned and forbidden it, Colombia University is the moat notable of these institutions, and in our own State the State Normal has decreed against the game. “In view of the above observations and our own beliefs in the matter, it is hereby resolved by the board of directors of Indiana Normal College that we shall not have football this fall. This resolution in no way hints at an antagonistic attitude toward athletics that free themselves of vulgar rowdyism or that tend to develop the manly and womanly qualities of students, We advise all our students to take gymnasium work and to participate in tennis, basketball and baseball/’

WORST FORM OF TORMENT.

Indigestion Makes Life Miserable. How to Cure It. There is no need of telling a person with stomach trouble that indigestion makes life miserable. The burning and gnawing feeling in the stomach, the sick and nervous headaches, the sleeplessness, general debility, aching back, speckß before the eyes, and the nervousness, irritability and-des-pondency that come from indigestion. make life a torment. Happily a physician’s prescription for stomach troubles called Miona stomach tablets, is now for sale by B. F. Fendig, who recommends it as an absolute and complete cure for indigestion and all stomach ills. Miona is not a temporary relief or a mere digestive Take one of the little tablets before meals for a few days and the digestive organs will be so toned and strengthened that you will be able to eat anything intended for food without fear of indigestion and distress Miona is so universally successful in curing all forms of stomach weaknesses that B. F. Fendig gives a signed guarantee with each 50c box, that your money will l e refunded unless the remedy gives you satisfaction. This certainly allows his strong faith in the medicine. Many of his customers have used it with the greatest success and praise it highly as the only cure they have ever found for stomach troubles.

THINK OF THIS ONE MINUTE.

flow does it happen that the ■Studebaker- factory in South Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do you think it just happened or was there a reason for it? You know there must have been a reason and this is it. The absolute reliability of (lie Studebaker product. It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the best. If you belong to that class, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studebaker before buying.

Paragraphs About State Politic*. Whn tbs last legislature mat tba atat/ government not only faced a deficit of half a million dollara, but lta revenues bad been anticipated far in advance. It was a question whether the state should Issue its bonds to pay its debts of to make shift in some other way. Ita financial affairs, as declared by Governor Hanly himself, were in a condition of "embarrassment." It had not only gone to the bottom of the money barrel, but it had scraped holes in it. The Republicans, with their "wise business mlbagemsnt," were afraid to issue bonds, so they concluded to make more holes In the bottom of the barrel. In other words, they determined to keep on calling for advances from the county treasurers, thus anticipating the state’s revenues and more. By this method the state is getting further behind, though the people are paying enormous taxes. One of the striking things about the Democratic state convention when compared with the Republican convention, was the earnestness of the delegates. Unhampered and uncontrolled by the bosslsm that characterized the Republican gathering, the men chosen by the Democrats of the state to represent them at Indianapolis went about the business before them with a full appreciation of their responsibilities. Every man seemed to feel that he was transacting the public’s business and that he must act his part well. And everyone did act his part well, and the people can vote for the ticket nominated, knowing that from top to bottom it was selected for absolute fitness. The Republican state committee met at Ifidianapolis last week to "arrange a plan of campaign.” Boss Joe Keallng is not a member of the committtee. but he was present to give the necessary instructions. Keallng is the chief executive officer of the Fatrbanks-Hanly-Hemenway combination. It was he who made the delegates to the Republican state convention last April feel like tradingstamps. It was he who, acting for the state ring, dominated the convention, and dictated the ticket. Joe Keallng has no reputation as a “house-cleaner" or anything of that sort and will not try to acquire one in that line. He merely handles the whip. The state board of tax commissioners, composed of one lonesome Democrat and four Republicans. Including Governor Hanly, chairman of the board, early in its recent sitting assessed the Adams Express -company at the rate of $657 a mile. The express company objected and filed an injunction suit. At this sign of fight the tax board, Governor Hanly chairman, hastily backed down and fixed the assessment at $329 a mile. The express company had asked that the assessment be put at $319 a mile. But having come down $328 a mile the board didn’t think it would look well to give up the other $lO. It is costing the people of” Indiana, according to the reported receipts, more than $3,000,000 a year more to run the state government than it cost under a Democratic administration. And yet when the last legislature met there was a large deficit, and at this time the state Is only saved from the absolute necessity of issuing bonds to meet its obligations by getting enormous advances from the counties. This is the "business management" of which the Republican politicians speak. If Indiana should be compelled to endure a few more years of "business management," such as the Republicans have given it. it will either have to go to borrowing large cums to pay the expenses that are being piled up by the Republicans or else the taxes will be enormously increased. The state, at the end of the last fiscal year, had anticipated Its revenues a million dollars. It had drawn that much on the future. In other words, it was a million dollars behind its current expenses. • The report of the auditor of state for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1905, shows that the state received “advance payments” amounting to $994,449.03. If it had not been for this anticipation of revenues, the state, regardless of other expedients, would have lacked nearly a million dollars of having enough to meet Its expenses. This Is another fine example of Republican “business management." • The last Republican legislature refused to pass the anti-trust bill, but did pass the notorious ditch law, and its action is approved by the Republican state - platform, which recommends and Indorses "the record of our Republican senators and representatives in the last general assembly.” This Indorsement also covers many other offenses against the people of the state. The Democrats, it should be remembered. provided the money to pay the state debt and nailed it down bo that it could not be used for any other purpose. And now the Republicans are claiming great credit because they did not steal the money, but applied it as the law required. This, in effect, is what their platform really means. The salaries of all state officials have been greatly increased, from the governor down, but there would be no money to pay them without getting advances of tax payments from the county treasurers. This Is a part of the “wise business managemsnt" that the Republicans talk about
