President Roosevelt says he tsars that he will not be able to accept the invitation to attend the dedication of the Harrison statute ceremonies at Indianapoliß next May, and regrets that his duties in Washington with a congress on his hands may keep him from coming, Is very sorry for he would like very much to come, etc. Evidently the flavor of those Fairbanks cocktails still linger with the president, and he may conclude to break away and come anyhow.

George Ade has notified Congressman Crumpacker that he is not a candidate for delegate to the republican national convention from the Tenth district. Probably George could have the place if he wanted it, but as these delegates are usually taxed from 1200 to 11,000 or more —according to their ability to stand bleeding—it is probable George considers he doesn’t care to be bled. He is evidently not so verdant as some of his writings would lead one to infer.

IT LOOKS PECULIAR.

The Democratic papers of this section are charging the failure of the Goodiancl, Fowler, Ambia and Remington banks to what they are pleased to call "political banking." That is, the owners of the banks are Republicans and therefore in-, competent to do an honest business. The same papers during the last campaign tried to make political capital out of the failure of the McCoy and Giimau banks. Following their line of argument a man can't engage in an honest business and at the same time vote the Republican ticket; but some wav they are having a hard time to make the fool people believe it.- Kentland Enterprise. The Democrat hadn’t noticed any extraordinary effort on the part of Democratic papers to make political capital out of these bank failures, but come to think of it, it does look rather funny, doesn’t it, that all of these bankers should have been thouting for an ‘‘honest dollar” and the preservation of the “country’s honor” in 1896 and 1900? —White County Democrat.

Yes, and what a long list there is of them —Tom McCoy, republican chairman of the Tenth district; old Alf MoCoy, sooth-sayer and manager of “sheep roasts” to which free special trains were run, paid for no doabt in numerous instances with the money of both republican and democratic laymen who trusted their hardearned dollars in their rotten bank; (. Walter Brown, chairman of the Thirteenth district republicans; Fred Gilman, republican chairman of Newton county; Jesse Fry, the Boeelawn banker and politician; Baldwin & Dague, Robert Parker and dozens of others if we had the time to name them. All republicans and all politicians more or leas and country-savers in ’96 and j 1900! Then there was another j

one, the king bee of the middle weet old John R. Walsh, whoee big bank in Chicago, was closed by the government a year or so ago and who is now facing a hundred or more oriminal oharges for dishonest banking methods. What a list! What a record! No wonder the Enterprise is oonoerned for fear a little democratic capital may be made out of it. Not all bankers are republicans nor are all republican bankers rascals, but search the records of the “busted” banks of our own immediate section of the country and one will find that about 100 per cent of the bankers who have gone broke were republicans and were more or less prominent in republican politics.

SHADES OF OLD ALF McCOY!

The following clippings are taken from an Indianapolis republican paper and must be accepted as correct by republican readers at least, and shows that “business depression” and “soup houses” sometimes are features of a republican administration: Chioago, January 10. —A canvass of the labor situation in Chicago reveals the faot that there are in the oity 138,940 idle working people. There are normally 50,000 men out of work at this season of the year, namely, those whose employment ceases in the winter time, so that the number of men idle ns a result of business depression is 88,950. The above figures are given as excessive of the normal number of working people idle at this season or the year. They do not inolude seasonable occupations such as cement workers and trades entirely dependent upon weather conditions. Nor do they include in the numbers given the drifting element of labor .that finds one line of work in the summer aud another in the winter season. The class of common laborers rendered idle is included in the following figures:

Under the care of the Salvation Army, 25,000 single men and 1,200 families; housed at the municipal lodgings, 15,000, and in the cheap lodging-houses, 25,000, a total of 76,200, exclusive of the wives and childreu of the heads of families being cared for. The capacity of the Salvation Army quarters, limited to eight buildings, is taxed beyond ability to care for those making application and other quarters are being opened.

Several of the ]O-cent lodginghouses were visited yesterday to ascertain the number of lodgers applying for accommodations. Every house visited reported that accommodations were engaged ahead, and it was not possible for a man to engage lodging later than 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

Cincinnati, January 10.—A parade of thousands of unemployed marched to the city hall vesterday afternoon, where a delegation held a conference with Mayor Markbreit and the city officials, it was represented to the mayor that the closing down of factories because of the money stringency had thrown thousands of men out of work, and that, suffering was widespread. The spokesman requested aid and work. The mayor informed them that steps had been taken to appropriate $20,000 for immediate relief. Arrangements have been made for opening bread depots, soup houses and shelter places.

ANOTHER GREAT INVENTION.

Elmer Burlingame, a young man of Laporte, Ind , has invented a system of transmitting messages by wire whiob will probably revolutionize telegraphy, if the claims made for it are correot. By means of Burlingame’s invention messages can be sent over the wires through a type-writer keyboard and they are re-produced at the receiving end in the typewritten form by the receiving type-writer. Each key touched at the sending point operates a corresponding key on the type-writer at the receiving end, the same as if touched by hand, with the result that the message is reoeived in clear, type-written form immediately it is sent. It is said the invention has been successfully tested between points qnite a distance apart in this state and that it operates perfectly. Young Burlingame is now in San Francisco where capitalists who are interested in f)is invention have made him a big offer for the same if he demonstrates that it will do what he claims for it.

OKLAHOMA LETTER.

From a private letter to the editor, from our former citizen U. M. Baughman, now of Oklahoma City, Okla., we take the liberty of publishing a few extracts. , Dear Sir and Friend:*—l note with pleasure the report of James E. Risk’s re-election as district chairman. Democracy ia above par in this new state and I believe the legislature is going to enact good and wholesome laws for the benefit of the majority. The “Jim Crow” law was a neessity, and the new banking law is, I believe, going to be an excellent thing, both for the bankers and the pnblio. Unless the government permits the national banks to take advantage of the new law, they will have to give up their obarters and take out state charters, for eueryone is talking “guaranteed banks” now. The panic hit this place pretty hard but in spite of it there are new houses going up all the time, and there seems to be lots of business doing in the mercantile line. Hallet town lots are not quoted here in the real estate exohanges, bnt I learn that they are above par in some places in Indiana. Well, we have had a very mild winter here thus far, no snow and very little, freezing, not more than an inch at any time. I was pretty badly crippled and was not able to get out much until the past few days, but am getting much better now and think I will soon be fully recovered. Ido not see anything about the eleotion of a county chairman yet. I hope old Jasper will put on her armor and go after the enemy this year and I am inclined to think it will be possible to at least make an inroad on the big republican majority. Put in a good live, simon-pure Bryan democrat for county chairman, for J W Bryan will be the next president, as sure as we ever have one. The republicans here like him about as well as the democrats, and Taft is disliked by 95 per cent of the voters of our state. He will not get much encouragement from this quarter, I want to go over to visit the legislature in a few weeks and may then write you a letter for publication. With regards and best wishes to yourself and family, 1 am, yours very truly,

U. M. BAUGHMAN.

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE

Druggists To Battle Stomach Troubles In Rensselaer. The increase of stomach troubles in Rensselaer has led B, F. Fendig to take effective measures to combat the disease. He has the local agency for Mi» o-na stomach tablets, and in order to induce people suffering with weak stomach or indigestion to use the remedy, offers to supply it with the distinct understanding that money will be refunded in every case where it doeg not cure. Mi-on-a is not a mere digestive, but an absolute strengthener and builder-up of the whole digestive tract, If you suffer with headaches, giddiness, palpitation, bad taste in the mouth, nervousness, coated tongue, distress after eating. use Mi-o-na and see how quickly these symptons of a weak stomach disappear. The remedy strengthens the muscular walls of the stomach and increases the flow of gastric juices so that nourishment is extracted from the food and the refuse is expelled without the aid of purgative or laxative medicines. Remember that B. F. Fendig gives a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. He takes alt the risk, and there is no clanger of your losing anything exept indigestirn when you buy a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na.
