The Goshen News of Tuesday said: ‘‘Senator Fairbanks went through here at 1:48 this afternoon over the Lake Shore on his way to Ligonier where he spoke to a rally this afternoon.” Spoke to a rally! Well that is good. So it was really a rally. Few people here recogntzed it however.

Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Morris of Warsaw, father and mother of Charles Morris of the Hotel Goldsmith, have been here for several days visiting with Mr. Morris and family.

Keehn denies the soft impeachment in an item in these columns last week. He says that he was not the coach of the foot-ball team defeated at Kendallville, that his team has not been defeated by any high school eleven since its organization and that even in fast company they hold their own. We are indeed sorry that we fell into the error of supposing that there was only one foot ball eleven in. Goshen, for it seems that there are others. .

If Senator Fairbanks ever got a colder reception than he did here last Tuesday he needed an old fashioned ulster to keep off the chill. There was hardly a corporals guard to meet him and but very few called upon him at the hotel.

What a funny thing politics is any how. Two years ago Hon. Lockhart and Lou Kerr were read out of the party by Thompson and the push on account of their fight on local candidates, but now, Kerr and Lockhart are the whole thing and are rightin the swim, while the other fellows leok on. Foaa

A republicanfarmer was in the city Saturday talking loudly about the high price of wheat under the MecKinley administration.

If some of the Goshen newsboys are not killed it will not be their fault. A more demonstrative, daredevil'lot can not be found anywhere. They make life a burden to the passengers who alight and those who wait for trains. On Friday evening one of them scared the wits out of the waiting passengers by narrowly escaping death by falling on the track in front of a rapidly approaching train. It was 8o near a catastroPhe that it is said a Ligonier ady fainted over the scare. -

Have you seen the new styles for the ladies, cheaper than at any other place in the city and the best shoes ever offered for the money.

Her body was thrown 70 feet and frightfully mangled.

Tailor made suits for the ladies is just now the thing for fall and winter wear. K. Jacobs has arranged with one of the best and leading suit making establishments in the county to handle their produet for this part of the state. They have a large number of suits on hand and are daily taking orders for special made suits. The ladies should consult E. Jacobs & Co. before buying. J. E. Homsher, the democratic candidate for sheriff, has been in this part of the county for several days looking after his political interests. Mr. Homsher is a splended fellow, popular at home and highly esteemed by a large circle of personal and political friends. No one can make a mistake in voting for Mr. Homsher for sheriff. He will make a first-class dfficer if elected.

Benton had a shooting affray one day last week but for some reason the thing has been hushed up and the shooter fined only for ecarrying concealed weagons. It seems that when llsaac Spahr was returning home from GGoshen on his wheel he was fired upon, by John Longacre, the Benton blacksmith who made the assault without any provocation. He claims that he shot at a chicken, but Spahr maintains that the bullet was intended for him.

The betting at Indianapolis is even money on the state, with the Republicans laying odds on MceKinley’s election. This is accounted for in a very easy way when it is known that the money posted on the public betting boards 1s largely a part of the republican campaién fund set aside for this pux(})ose. hairman Hernly has adorte this as a part B his set.tlegogol cy to set aside from $1,5600 to $2,000 every campaign to be posted in small bets two and three weeks before the election, to stampede the state. A few bets have been offered at slight odds on McKinley’s carrying the state, but they have been snatched up eagerly. Democrats are taking advantage of this republican scheme by raking in the bets and tryi:g to get the Republicans to offer odds on the strength of their hope to buy the state. : 5
