jMir. and Mrs. L. D. Carey of Monticello were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Williams Wednesday and Thursday and attended the rally at Geo. Ade’s farm Wednesday. John Kyapp has imagined that he had been been suffering from a mild case of flux, but Dr. J. H. Kannal, after a careful dianosls pronounces it an aggravated case of socialism. John will now know what to take to effect a permanent cure.

Frank White, a half-brother of C. C. Starr, and wife of Lafayette, stopped off here Tuesday evening for a few hours visit with Mr. Starr and Mrs. Wm. Barkley, who is recovering from a spell of sickness. They went to Brook next day to the Taft rally.

The creamery bridge was not got in shape as soon as had been expected, but on Thursday afternoon everything was ready to begin rolling it back into place, and Friday it was let down on its foundations and will be in shape to cross no doubt by the time The Democrat reaches its readers.

If the young lady who advertised in The Democrat recently for a lost bracelet marked with the initial “L” will call we can give her the name of the party who found it, a Wolcott lady, w'ho saw the ad in The Democrat and will mail the bracelet to her on receipt of her name and the proper postage.

Miss Jean Trussell is visiting her sisters at Forest, Mrs. O. B. and Thomas Wolfe. She writes her family that they do not know what dust is up here, as it is several inches deep at Forest and ?Nerything is literly covered with it. This condition is caused by the soil, all, or most of it at least, being clay. surprise party was given Fay Clarke, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Clarke, at the latters’ residence, in the west part of town Tuesday evening, in honor of his eighteenth birthday. About a dozen friends spent the evening with him enjoying the music and different games played. Refreshments were served about ten o’clock. All present report a fine time.

James M. Tanner of Bucklin,. Kan., came Tuesday for a week’s visit with relatives and old friends. Mr. Tanner says that four years ago he went to Kansas with S2O and bought a piece of school land on time for S6BO, meanwhile working at his trade, that of blacksmith. He sold this land recently for $3,200, and the crop last year made him $1,200, so that he has done very well since he went out there.

The seven fishermen who went fishing on election day in order to assist the republican candidate to a seat in the senate during the special session, returned Tuesday. They did not get as many fish as they intended to get when they started, but enough to make things pretty lively for their friends upon their return. Some pretty large cats were hooked, some of them weighing as much as nine pounds—more or less.

Uncle Joel Spriggs of Walker tp., was in town yesterday attending the Poince divorce suit, wherein he had tied the marital knot. Uncle Joel didn’t say whether he thought it was his fault that it came undone in two months and eleven days or not. and we are inclined to the opinion that it was not. The fact that the bride was 14 and the groom 4y7; that the bride weighed 90 pounds and the groom 240, may have had more to do with this case of incompatlblity that Uncle Joel’s work had. Jirtie & —Somes, the contractors who had the moving of the Washington street and creamery bridges, have captured two more jobs and will finish them before leaving here. One of them is moving a barn for Walter Porter, on his farm, the old James Ritchey farm, south of town, and the other raising a house for Conrad Kellner of this city. These gentlemen have given such universal satisfaction since they came here, in all their work, that their services will be in demand hereafter when anything in their 1 line presents itself. , \Ajeorge Ade did the wondering populace a great service Wednesday to giving a practical demonstration of the "full dinner pail’’ from a republican standpoint. A bun, a pickle, a small piece of meat, and a piece of pie in a five cent pall constituted the outfit, all for a quarter. A laborer working for $1.75 a day ought to become a millionaire in a few years under these conditions, and if, he would cut out his "eatln” altogether he should be able to acquire | that sum before the republican party have done cussing Hanty for callling the special session.

"' P. M. Hayes of Barkley tp.,- has the thanks of The Democrat force for some fine watermelons and' some Tuclous peaches. Mr. Hayes’ peaches have been hanging on a long time, and have more than doubled his expectations in yield. He thought at the start he might have 30 bushels, but after picking some 40 bushels concluded that there would probably be 60 bushels, fie had picked 66 bushels Thursday and thought there was four or five bushels more. They have been of good quality and he has sold them at good prices, not because of the tariff but because they were of good quality and the crop in the peach-growing sections has not been as large as expected.

Erastus Peacock and Dr. C. E. Triplet olf Morocco went south some weeks ago to look over the scenes of their army life. On the 45th anniversary, being the same days of the week of the battle of Chicamauga, Comrade Peacock and his old army surgeon spent the day on the field, visiting the spot where 45 years ago there was established a field hospital for the purpose of caring for the wounded. After spending Saturday and Sunday on the battlefield these old veterans turned their thoughts toward home, Mr. Peacock arriving Wednesday, and the Doctor stopping off at Cambellsburg, Kentucky, where one of his daughters resides, and one of his nephews 16 attending college. He will not be at home until next month.

John Anstis, with a party of four republicans, came all the way from Wlnamac to Hazelden to see Taft Wednesday, and the way Mr. Anstis was roasting the four when they arrived here was not calculated to make anybody think Taft, Watson or the “coon” did much good while at Ade’s farm. In fact none of them could be expected to do any good, no one could under the circumstances. William McKinley himself could not make “tariff” look good this year, with the facts fresh in the minds as such republicans as lost--$2 a hundred on hogs that were sold six weeks after the republican panic broke loose last October, the prices of horses and cattle breaking in like proportion, and the “tariff” had not even been threatened, nor did x it look then to republicans like there were any democrats left on earth.

The reunion of the 15th Ind. Inst. was held Wednesday as prearranged at the residence of Comrade W. F. Powers on River street. “Bally” had a tent of the regulation kind pitched in the yard which bore a placard showing the regimental headquarters were located therein. The noon mess was attended by eleven of the old regiment as fol-' lows: Andrew Jackson, Terre* Haute; A. B. Cole, Berkley, Cali.; E. G. Black, Lafayette: Richard M. Crese, Yeoman; R. H. Flinn, Lebanon: W. H. Dryden, Martinsville: Patrick Lally, Michigan City; A. N. Maxsan, Tacoma, Wash.; Stephen Thrasher, Francesville; John Sullivan and W. F. Powers of this city. This “mess” was not of the regulation kind. Mrs. Powers had charge of that matter, and if there was anything that was good to eat and not on the table it could not be procured In this town. Bally had invited some \>f his friends to help eat this sumptuous meal and they are a unit in praise of its excellence and of its satisfying qualities. After some literary exercises the old comrades dispersed and they will long remember the 47 reunion of the lath Ind. Inst.

A STARKS COUNTY VIEW

Of the Election of Farmer A. JT. Law for State Senator. , Republican leaders are now loudly accusing some of their men of voting with the democrats. If this be true the democrats are truly-grateful for the assistance. The men, regardless of party, who cast their vote for Farmer A. j. Law made no mistake, and are to be congratulated. They voted for a man whose life and character is above reproach and thoroughly in contract with that of his political opponent, Abraham Halleck. It is said that the republicans down in Jasper county, Mr. Halleck’s home county, are as Jubilent over the results of this election as are the democrats and that a large number of them are talking seriously of trying to have him pull off the ticket and putting' someone on who will stand a better show of being elected in November. Judging Mr. Halleck from his past record it is not expected that he will consent to anything of the kind. Voters should remember that another contest for this high office between these two men takes place at the November election, and that the defeated candidate will then be on the regular ticket and hopes to be carried through by the huge republican majority in the four counties. Let us then be up and doing and administer to him another dose of the same medicine, which will not only be a blessing to the state, but also a favor to honest republicans in Jasper County who are seeking the destruction of the Halleck mat chine.—Starke County Democrat. Speaking of the result in White County the Democrat of Monticello says:

“The belief of the Rensselaer Republican that a full vote would have elected Mr. Halleck is not shared by voters here, either Democrats of Republicans. It is well known that Republicans here made a great effort to get out their vote while the Democrats remained indifferent. Many more Republicans than Democrats came to the polls but many Republicans niust have voted for Law. Indeed, as one leading Republican put it, ‘if we had gotten out a full Republican vote Law would have carried White county along with Newton and Jasper.’ “The result was a very great surprise to all and the Democrat will not attempt to explain all the causes that led up to it. The vote in Jasper county, however, in face of the great claims made, seem to indicate that Mr. Halleck does not stand very high in ‘the estimation of the people who know' him best. Many leading Republicans now openly acknowledge that the delegates made a serious mistake when they nominated him.”

GUARANTY REFUNDED.

Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 23.—The State Banking Board voted to-night to return all funds paid by natioal banks into the guaranty deposit fund. Fifty-seven, national banks had paid the assessment of one half of 1 per cent of their average deposit when Attorney-General Bonaparte ruled against them. One third of the 57 have denationalized and taken out state charters. The amount refunded by the State Banking Board is $15,000.

FOOTBALL SEASON NOW ON.

Victims of the Gridiron Sport Promise to Be as Numerous as Usual. Shelby vill?, Ind., Sept. 21. —John Forrest, a member of the Shelbyville high school, was playing football with a number of boys composing two teams Saturday when he was tripped. He suffered a broken leg, the bone just above the right ankle being broken.

Knoxville, Tenn., B e Pt- 22. —While the University of Tennessee football squad was at practice yesterday afternoon, Ramsey, a promising candidate for quarter-back, was thrown heavily to the ground and suffered concussion of the brain. The injuries will probably prove fatal. Delphi, Ind., Sept. 22.—Twoomey Clifford, son of M. Clifford, and a member of the Delphi high school football team, broke his collar bone in a football game with Oakland Hill high school eleven, of Lafayette, in a game in this city Saturday afternoon. The accident caused the game to be stopped. Lafayette players got into a dispute with Jacob Wolfe, hotel proprietor, and a free-for-all fight resulted. Princeton, Ind.. Sept. 23. —Louis Mcßoberts, 19 years old. was seriously injured while engaged in a practice game of football yesterday evening between the high school and scrub teams. He was heavily thrown while making a play, and one rib and the breastbone were fractured. He will recover.

INDIANA GOING DEMOCRATIC

Governor Hanly’s Special Legislative Elections Prove It. When he determined to call a special session of the legislature Governor Hanly found vacancies in six districts which had to be filled by special elections. In one Republican and two Democratic districts the candidate of the dominant party had no opposition. In one other joint senatorial district Samuel Benz, Democrat, of Leavenworth, was elected over Samuel H. Stewart, Republican, by a largely increased majority. In two other districts—one manufacturing and the other agricultural—the result of the voting shows the great drift toward the Democracy. Delaware county, containing the city of Muncie, composes one of these districts. In this county the Republicans made a tremendous effort to hold their own. The county was covered with speakers, including Governor Hanly and many other leading orators. When the votes were counted it was seen that the Demorats had made phenomenal gains, as the following figures prove: Republican plurality, 1904 4,849 Republican plurality, 1906...2,389 This year it is only 272 In the joint senatorial district composed of the agricultural counties of Newton, Jasper, Starke and White, the vote in 1904 on joint senator was as follows: Republican 7,627 Democratic 5,921 Republican plurality 1,606 This year, Democratic majority.. 58 The significance of the voting lies in the fact that in both agricultural and manufacturing centers the Democratic gains are equally heavy, thus showing a general turning toward the Democratic party.

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

One of the best signs of the campaign in the East is the harmony that prevails among the Democrats of New At their state convention last week every element in the party was represented and all past differences were burled in order that a united support might be given to the national and state tickets. Lewis S. Chanler, the nominee for governor, is a popular man and satisfactory to all members of his party. So far as Mr. Bryan is concerned New York is no longer “the enemy’s country.” This fact was demonstrated throughout the convention. Whenever his name was mentioned it was cheered enthusiastically. And when he appeared before the convention to speak, Mr. Bryan s reception w'as such as to prove beyond question that he was in the “house of his friends.” It has been apparent for several weeks that New York means to cast its electoral vote for Bryan and Kern. The unity of the Democrats is enough in itself to guarantee Democratic success, but the fight that is going on between the Republican factions makes the result certain. Roosevelt dictated the nominations of Hughes for governor, just as he dictated the nomination of Taft for president, and defeat will follow in both cases. The average man resents presidential bossism. In 1883 President Arthur ordered the nomination of Pol* ger for governor and Grover Cleveland beat him 190,000.

LOOKS GOOD TO RIDDER.

Herman Ridder of New York is the editor of the, Staats Zeitung, the great German dally of tllfe Beat Mr. Ridder did not support Mr. Bryan in his other campaigns, but he is enthusiastically for him this year. In an interview

the other day Mr. Ridder said: “From careful observation I am now convinced that the Democratic national ticket will be elected this fall. I told Mr. Bryan -so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes, neither does desire sway me in forming it, but it is the result of a careful canvass made by myself and many friends since the Denver convention adjourned. There will be many surprises when the result of the vote is known. I have found in every section of the country bitter resentment against Republicans, among members of their own party, because of the attitude of leaders on the tariff question.’’

Mr. Taft says that it Is wrong to guarantee bank deposits by law because to do so will lead to bad banking and dishonesty. But he has, after much painful reflection, come to the conclusion that it is proper for banks to voluntarily guarantee deposits. It is queer reasoning. Mr. Taft appears to be as badly muddled on this question as he is on all of the other issues.

SMASHING A LIE.

la /* statement given to the newspapers, Chairman Jackson of the Democratic state committee effectually squelches the Republican falsehood about brewery contributions having been made to the Democratic committee. The statement Is as follows: “The frantic efforts of the Republtto escape a fair consideration of the vital issues of the campaign have caused a good many false and a good many silly things to be forced upon the public from their side of the road. Among other things, there is the report that the liquor interests have contributed immense sums to the Democratic campaign fund. This story is not true. To use the ‘shorter and uglier’ word, it is a lie. Neither the liquor interests nor anybody for them or in their behalf have given a cent to our funds. They have not been and will not be solicited to do so and have never been expected to do so. “The only money we have had for the expenses of our campaign has come from the candidates on our ticket and from Democrats who are interested in the success of our party from unselfish reasons —not one of whom has any sort of connection with the liquor interests. For many campaigns these interests, as is known to all informed persons, have contributed their money and votes to the Republican, party, which they have done all they could to keep in power. The Democratic party has had no help, financially or otherwise, from that source—asked for none and expected none. "The Democratic party is a party of principles. It stands by its principles regardless of who favors or who opposes them. This is precisely its attitude in this campaign. We have adopted platforms that express our beliefs with respect to the questions before the people. We stand on these platforms and are fighting for our beliefs—and we shall continue to do so. We are right, we deserve to win this election and we shall win it. The people are with us and they are not going to be fooled, hoodwinked or misled by any form of falsehood or misrepresentation. “STOKES JACKSON, “Democratic State Chairman."
