Indiana Headquarters Are the Objec tive Point of Delegates From All Parts of Union.
Denver, Colo., July 9. (Special) Indiana is making a brave showing at the big convention and Indiana people are everywhere. Thomas R. Marshall, the democratic nominee for governor, and Mrs. Marshall were the guests at a little dinner last evening given by some of their Indiana friends. It was a pbmsant affair and the guests of honor enjoyed it. After the dinner Mr. Marshall was introduced for the first time to John Mitchell. "Mr. Mitchell," said Mr. Marshall, "I nm glad to meet you. I believe in you and I believe you are sincere In your work. This country owes a great deal to you." "I thank you, sir" replied the great labor leader, "and I hope you will be elected. You certainly have the qualifications for a good governor." Mrs. Marshall and her friends were presented to Mr. Mitchell and there was a pleasant little chat all arou nd. Later 1 the Mr. and Mrs. Marshall visited diana headquarters and received a cordial reception. The greeting proved Mr. Marshall's popularity with his fellow democrats. South Head's Mayor See the ShOTr, "Eddie" Fogarty, the big mayor of South Bend, was leaning against a show case watching the passing show. "Denver is almost as good a town as South Bend" remarked Fogarty. "How do I fee! about the vice-presidency? Well, we are for an Indiana man. and after that I am for John Mitchell. There are a lot of Indiana neonle who wonht lie crlail tn fr I Mitchell have the nomination." Just then the Milwaukee crowd came into the hotel supporting a transparency with "Milwaukee in 1912" in big letters on it. "What does that mean?" Mr. Fogarty was asked. "I suspect that Pabst will run D. R. Rose for president in 1912," was the answe r. The Indiana delegation visited California headquarters last night and feasted on fruits and sweet wines. Mayor Hone Taken the lrle. The Indiana boys have been energetic in getting around over town, but when it comes to ratch-as-oatoh-can marching Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, has them all startled out of a dreamWlienever a parade is seen coming upstreet or down street, marching by fours or oblique. Dave Rose is always at the head of it. He has been marching ever since he struck town, and it is reported that his meals are served to him along the line of parade, so he will miss none of tiie processions. Every once in a while some one from Wisconsin darts out of the crowd at the edge of the sidewalk and hands a cold sandwich or a bottle of iced tea to Milwaukee's mayor. The famous band of Skidmore Guards, or Dan O'Leary, the heel-and-toe walker, are not to be compared with Mr. Rose in his endurance parades. It is reported that Weston will challenge Mayor Rose to a six days' walking match when this convention is ended. Jaeknn a Hard Worker. State Chairman 17. S. Jackson is one Of the hardest-working Indlanians here and has hardly taken time to eat or Bleep. He spends a great deal of his time about the Indiana headquarters and no headquarters and no democrat fails to receive recognition if Mr. Jackson can get his eyes on him. If an Indiana man has no place to sleep Mr. Jackson finds him one and he knows how to do it. too. There are a great many state chairmen here and all of them have a good word for the Indiana chairman as a fixer of things and hustler. Congressman Lincoln Dixon, of the Tourth district, expects to open the democratic congressional campaign headquarters In Chicago about the mid dle of next month. The exact date has j not been arranged. Mr. Dixon will spend half of his time in Chicago and when he is absent Congressman Lloyd, Of Missousi. will be in charge. Hoonicjn Oladdea Ylattora.

A coroner's jury returned a verdict that Yore committed suicide while temporarily insane. Yore is quite well known in South Chicago, having once traveled out of the sixteenth precinct. Iter he was transferred to the Lawndale station where he has been ever since.

"Rest Cure" in England. "Sleep and be beautiful: Rest and preserve your charms!" That is what wise h.ngnsnwomen are saying to themselves nowadays and what they are doing most religiously. Many make a point of lying down for half an hour before luncheon and before dinner, or after eating, if it suits them better, on a couch heaped with cushions. And to malte the rest sweet the cushions are filled with fragrant herbs and flower petals. Some very dainty women have cushions packed with rose leaves. Lavender tops are used, too,, and pine needles, which have always been famed as sleep inducers. Some women insist that hops, loosely stuffed in the cushion covers, are the best thing to make one drowsy. Phonetics. "What picture does it bring to your mind.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLER S BROUGHT BACK Frank Kaston Again Imprisoned in Cell at East Chicago.

While he admits being very much surprised when Chief Iliggins confronted him in Swift & Co.'s plant in Port Worth where lie was working, he still maintains that in a way it was a relief and he is now ready to face the music and take his medicine. The first thing Chief Iliggins asked him was whether he intended giving him the same trouble in bringing him back that he was put to in Canada, ana Kasten replied he wouia come willingly and without extradition papers. The start from Hapten's room was then made and his clothes packed, after which they boarded the 9 o'clock Rock Island Monday right, arriving in Chicago yesterdav morning at 11. Kas ten gave the chief absolutely no troub - le whatever during the. trio. The prisoner refuses t' say what induced him to jump his bond, but confesses that it was the mistake of his life and would like to play the game over again. The bondsmen are all feeling very much easier in their minds since Kasten's arrival
SEES DOWNFALL OF THE BELL
Metal Tubes Will Supersede It, Ac cording to Clergyman. "It will not be many years," says a St. Louis clergyman, "before bells for church use will be almost unknown. Even now, when a church desires something to answer the purpose of the bell, the trustees do not buy bells, but tubf, some made of bell metal, other of a composite of several metals. The metal tubes are hung in steeples and struck with a hammer. They glve a clear, full note, just like a bell, only more resonant. They never crack with cold or heat, and what is a still greater recommendation, never get out of tone. There is a chime in the city with one or two bells so horribly out of tune that they set people's teeth on edge. Such discord in a chime of metal tubes would be unknown, and besides, the tone is so much more agreeable than that of the bell that any one who ever hears the two can not fail to prefer the tube. It sounds like a great organ pipe, SO that when one of these chimes Is played the impression is that of a huge organ far up In the sky." ADVICE WORTH LISTENING TO.

Housebreakers Secure Many Valuables, Treasured By the Owner as Keepsakes,
Thieves who quietly killed a watch dog, entered a house and stripped it of its most valuable furnishings, in cluding several valuable pieces of silverware, made a record last night and robbed the home of Cornelius Slavin. 12S9 West Seventieth street, and then made their escape without leaving the I police the slightest clew upon which to work. The haul made by the men was one of the richest of the season and the burglary itself was the most daring ever perpetrated in the Calumet region. Mr. Slavin announces that his total loss will exceed $1,000. and as some articles of silverware were keepsakes the value to him would reach ten times its actual amount. Int ;il Men on Case. The (irand Crossing police have detailed their best detectives on the case,' which so far has proven one of the j most baffling to come under their supervision. The robbers gained an entrance throngn one of the wesj basement windows and once getting inside the house they opened the rear door, where the booty was carried out. The weight of everything taken would reach over iiOO pounds and a truck must have been used in transporting the goods from the house to the thieves rendezvous. This theory lias been advanced by the police, but there are no marks of any kind of a vehicle in the yard to substantiate this presumption. The building is located quite a little distance from the alley in the rear of the house and as there is an arc light close to the Rale it is considered probable by the police that some one must have seen the men carrying out their plunder. Other theories have been ad vanced but not considered plausible. Iloune I!lileI In Absence. The police were notified shortly after 1 o'clock when Mr. and Mrs. Slavin returned from West Pullman, where they had been spending the evening with friends. The corps of plain clothes men were immediately dis patched to the scene of the robbery to make an investigation. The officers were unable to find the least bit of evidence that would give them a clew and unless something is learned during the next few days the police doubt whether or not the men will ever be apprehended. The fact that the burglar or burglars killed the watch dog to prevent the animal from raising an alarm shows that they were old hands at the business, and the police believe that if the men are captured they will find a clever pair of crooks who have national reputations among the criminologists. The robbers entered Mr. Slavin's room and ransacked all of his clothes with the exception of one pair of trousers. It is a good thing for Mr. Slavin that they did, for there were over $500 in checks concealed in one of the hip pockets.

Thirteen More Thrist Emporiums Will Be Made Dry If Petition Sticks.
(Special to The Times.) AVtaitliic. Ind.. July !. Word -wn panned around Whiting thin mnrniim Hint the tempernnee worker had about captured the nroond ward with a renionntrnnce petition The report n to the effect that the "dryM" had nrrurnl 17 votes out of the 30O vote ct at the lant reguar election, thus giving them a majority In the ward, tilth a mirplun. The "(Irjn'' of course, are not giving out how ktrons they are ntr how many signatures they have on their petition. The list Is being circulated by Henry namnsarten. a paperhanger. and r Kaldiiig, a worker in the Standard Oil orkn. Oon't Seem to t are. The saloonkeepers in the ward seemingly pay very little attention to the progress that the "drys" are reported to have made, believing that the ward is wet when it comes to a house to house canvass. The second ward contains thirteen sa loons. Should the "drys" be able to lay the sfcond ward dry, there will remain only one ward in' Whiting in which saloons are permitted. This will be the first ward, with thirty-four saloons. History of Aeitation. It is only recent history of tus movement of the "drys" and how tliey put the fourth ward out of business. They attacked the entire ward and when the wets saw there was danger of losing thejr tight, they went to the city council, asking that the ward be divided and a fourth ward created, leaving the third ward without a solitary saloon and making the dividing line so that all the saloons formerly in the third ward are located in the fourth ward. While this would have been the solution to the problem, it was put to work too late and the result is that thirteen saloons had to go out of business, four of whiih were raided the other day by order of the circuit court. There are at present only nine saloons left in the ward but they, too, will have to go out of business as soon as their liernses expire, t p Igalnst It. The second ward, which is being attacked, contains thirteen saloons and if the report is true that the "drys" have already secured 17 signers of the remonstrance, the saloonkeepers are almost up against a hopeless case. The work of the remonstrance in the third and fourth ward shows that they are not satisfied in securing a dry residence district, but that their aim is to put all the saloons in the city out of business. They turned the trick right in the first fight and seemingly have a good start on the second ward, while the saloonkeepers are saying, "they can't do it." Essentials of a Great Man. You can not substitute any epithet for great, when you are talking of great men. Greatness is not general dexterity carried to any extent; nor proficiency in any one subject of human endeavor. There are great astronomers, great scholars, great painters, even great poets, who are very far from great men. Greatness Can do without success, and with it. William is greater in his retreats than Marlborough in his victories. On the other hand, the uniformity of Caesar's success does not dull his greatness. Greatness is not in the circumstances, but in the man. Arthur Helps. ILL HEALTH AND MORBIDNESS. j Unfortunate Result of Intense Passion ! for Sympathy.
