The insidious disease not to be baffled held with a firm grip and struck down the son before his preparation for life In this world was made, but he had prepared for that fuller, better life, for he was converted when about 17 years old under the pastorate of Rev.

McXary of the M. E. church, were held at the home Friday atterncjii last, and interment made in the Remington ctemetery.

Horace Taggart, who was near Armstrong, was struck in the arm by a few shot. Armstrong’s father was sitting near when his son fell off the chair dead. The load of shot, after passing through the screen door of the store, barely missed a brother of Logan before striking Armstrong. Logan is prostrated with grief over the tragedy.

Tippecanoe County Is Swept by Storm. Lafayette, Ind., August 19.—Lafayette was this evening visited by a wind and electric storm of cyclonic proportions and for two hours the storm raged. The wind and the rain came from the west and considerable damage was done in the city and County. The corn in some parts of the county was badly damaged by the wind and many outbuildings were blown down. Lightning also destroyed several barns, and the steam and interurbans had a few washouts. More than 100 treejs in Lafayette were uprooted and the Telephone companies suffered a heavy loss. All the lines east and south of here are cut of commission. It the worst storm and the heaviest rain Lafayette has experienced this year. The storm came up suddenly out of a clear sky, and when the heat was intense.

FIRE AT MOROCCO.

Xerdome and Handstand Go l'p i n Smoke. Morocco had a fire Saturday night but good fortune stood by and saved the town from destruction. The moving* picture show at the aerdome had j ust concluded and the crowd had mostly got out on the street when the cry of fire was sounded. The bandstand, w hich forms part'of the front entrance, and the walls and equipment of the aerdome were quickly reduced to ashes. The aerdome was located between two high brick buildings and the fire was easily controlled. Had the wind been in the south, where it could have played directly upon the flames, the entire business district would have been endangered. Morocco has no waterworks and fighting fires is carried on at a disadvantage.—Kentland Enterprise.

The Committee of 100. The truth of the boast of the Republican committee that in response to requests, a representative Progressive from every county in the State came to Indianapolis to tell the Republican State Committee there were no Progressives left in their respective counties. The truth is there were only 12 persons in that assembly who have been known or suspected of being Progressives. There were a number of persons who called themselves supporters of Roosevelt in the campaign for nomination in the spring of 1912, but later voted for Taft; there were some who voted for Roosevelt in the election but who never claimed to be Progressives and are now Republicans as they always had been; and there were a number of Republicans who had claimed to be anything else. In all it was just a big bluff and the truth is out and there it the usual come back to such kind of politics. One person present or who was solicited has made an affidavit that he was promised all expenses if he would attend and it is reasonable to believe that all who attended did so at the expense of the Republican State Committee. Great politics. The fact is that either State Committee could find at least one man of the opposing party in each county w T ho has come over and Would be glad to take a trip to Indianapolis if the other fellow would pay the bill. Republicans Have Xo Issue. The fact is the Republicans have no issue. All the howl about is the breaking up of the Progressive party, which in fact is better organized, better equipped for effective work, and gaining votes every day from the old parties, and especially from the Democratic party. The Progressive platform has been declared by students all over the world as the

most advanced political document ever put forth by any political party, and in the ranks of the Progressive party are included about 90 per cent of the great scientists, the great educators, the great writers, and ministers of various churches. There is something in the Progressive party to appeal to thinking people and we haven’t time to play ‘ small politics.” Fallacy of Republican Hopes. As to state primaries. In Pennsylvania, Gifford Pinchot was nominated Senator on the Progressive ticket. Everyone knew that he would be nominated, and there was no opposing candidate. About one-fourth of the Progressive strength voted. Penrose was renominated by the Republicans and there was the usual effort to get out the vote for the “effect” and yet the vote was far short of the Taft vote of 1912, which was small enough to permit Roosevelt to carry the state over both old parties. The fact is Penrose got more votes in the primary than he will get in the election and after all the boasts no one seriously contends that Penrose will be elected. In the recent Ohio primaries, the Progressive candidate for Senator received about 10,000 votes and the Republican newspapers say there are no more Progressives in Ohio. The Republican primary vote fell 70,000 short of the Taft vote of 1912, after every effort was made to get out the vote for “effect” and the real conclusion to draw from the Ohio primary is that the Republicans have lost heavily since 1912. It will be recalled that in the fall of 1912 and previous to the general election, there was a primary in Michigan. The Progressive candidate for Senator or Governor as the case may be, received about 6,000 votes and the Republican newspapers said that there were no Progressives in Michigan. And one, E. D. Crumpacker, in his speeches in the campaign of that year pointed to the Michigan primary as absolute evidence of the failure of the Progressive vote in that state. But you will also recall that in the fall election a few weeks later Roosevelt carried the state, getting more votes than both old parties. So you may again draw your own conclusions from the Republican boasts of the breaking up of the Progressive party.
