To suoceEED Rufus Magee of Logansport, on the board of trustees of the Northern l‘(()fi:pif:tl for the insane at Logansport,"Governor Durbin has appointed H. . Barnhart of Rochester. Mr. Barnhart is the editor and publisher of the Rochester Sentinel and is a staunch democrat. THE convention at Fort Wayne last Thursday for the purpose of selecting a member -of the state central committee for the congressional district was largely attended, every county in the district having a full delegation. ¥'he interest displayed and the enthugsiasm manifested was very gratifying to .all who have the success of the party at.hearts Several well received speeches were made and the proceedings of the convention were all harmonjous and full of promise for the futu'rl\. - : e e A FEW moment’s talk with any well informed Republican who watches the progress of events at the national capital reveals grave apprehension that President Roosevelt will, sooner or later, do something that will play smash with the ‘“‘grand old party.” The general feeling is, as expressed by a Republican of considerable promi nence, that Roosevelt will, wheén he gets through, have the Republican party in about the same predicament that Cléveland had the Democratic party at the end of his second administration.—South Bend Times.- ' THE county recorder’s oflice in the court house-at Albion is again in charge of a Democrat, as it will be for the next four years at least. Hen- | ry Bluhmof Kendallville took charge ' of the office on January 1, with Mrs. Maude Denman as deputy. We prediet that Mr. Bluhm will make a pop- | ular and painstaking officer. 'He is well qualified for the place and always conversant tith its duties. What the pgople want is courteous treatment, attention to duty and conscientious care of public interests. These requirements will be met by Mr. Bluhm as well as many other-ex-actions that-go with the position. . THE election of Hon. S. B.. Fleming as distriect chairman at the FKort Wayne convention last Thursday, meets the approval of a very large per cent.of the Democrats in the district. It is safe to say that an oldtime organigation will be effected in the whole distriet, that all Democrats will be recognized and that effective work will be done. Mr. Fleming was a candidate for this place two years ago, that is, he was urged to take it and he had a large following in the Auburn convention but he found that he could .not -be elected without a struggle that might leave some sore spots and he graciously withdrew in favor of Mr. Kahaugh, whom he now succeeds. . e IN 178 greeting to the New Year the Elkhart Review utters these lofty sentiments: ‘‘There ate certain common obligations that each should discharge_ more- ardently, more wisely, more. persistently in the year we greet. The laws of social relations and of obligation one to the other press upon us certain duties that passing ye:%rs make more necessary of wise and conservative performance. Civic duties, citizenship and social relationship, business ties, ‘home obligations deepen and broaden with each advancing twelvemonth, and the individual of today has a wider range of influence, a finer adjustment to his fellow man,a deeper obligation to humanity than the man of even a year ago. We sometimes forget that the whole circumference of a man’s. being is enlarged with the expanding reach of intellect, opportunity and achievement.!? . ”
-THE new State Centtal committee as selected last Thursday in the various districts is made up as follows: First, J. J. Nolan, Evansville; second, G. A. Hendren, Bloomfield; third, James R. Duffin, English; fourth, Lincoln Dixon, North Vernon; fifth, J. G. MeNutt, Terre Haute; sixth,S. D. McGee, Rushville; se‘venth, Joseph T. Fanning, Indianapolis; eighth, J. A. M. Adair Portland; ninth, A. T. Livengood, Covington; tenth, Dan W. Simms, Lafayette; eleventh, J. Fred France, Huntington; twelfth, S. B. Fleming, Ft. Wayne; thirteenth, J. C. Fletcher, Knox, Butfew of the old members were retired. Tom Taggart declined to serve in the seventh, and other members also asked to be relieved from further duty. The committee as selected is made up of young energetic, activer Democrats and argfies well for democratic success, ' 5
THE announcement is made by the South Bend Times that early in the year a new and up-to-date perfecting press that will print an eight or sixteen page paper at the speed of 20,000 an hour, will be installed in a new three story anunex to be built to the new Times building, put up a few months ago. It has only been a few years since Mr. Stoll put in a big Cox Duplex press manufactured at Battle Creek at a cost of $5,000, but the Times has out grown the press that then seemed to provide for allits needs far twenty years to come. During the last year the demands upon
the Times for advertising space and the rapidly growing circulation proved that they could no longer meet requirements without a new equipment. The Times is one of the best newspapers in the state and the merchants at*South Bend know the value of its advertising columns. Mr. Stoll’s old friends in this part of the state will be happy to note his splendid suceess and the many evidences of continued and well merited prosperity. CHAIRMAN FLEMING. i The Democrats-of the Twelfth district have selected for their representative on the state central committee a young man who combines in his person all the elements of successful leadership. Senator Fleming is a fine type of that. vigorous young Awmerican manhood that wins success regardless of obstacles, and is in every way admirably qualified and generously equipped for the post of honor, responsibility, and toil to which the party has assigned him. To question his,democracy is/to challenge the truth. As Mr. Barrett aptly put it yesterday, he was nursed on | democratie food and reared in an atmosphere so thoroughly democratic | that the tenets of the old party of‘ Jefferon are a part of his.being. In | his canvass for the state senatorship 1 last year he proved himself the in—“ heritor of his late honored father’s rich gifts, and a consummarte masterl of the science of organization. Though young in years, the old ; wheelhorses of Allen county have come to look to him for counsel, and lways with profit to the party. He will be a worthy successor to the ever loyal and ever viectorious William Kaough. The affairs of the Twelfth district democracy were never left in more capable hands, and it is no derogation from the merits of former chairmen to say it, or to predict that his leadership will be gloriously suecessful. He is a tireless worker, a man of boundless energy and phenomenal attivity, and these qualities, combined with his genius for organization and the consciousness that his pz;u'ty trusts him absolutely, will win success over any obstacles or opposi--tions : Mr. Fleming aspires to be chairman of the state central committee, and if he is selected the democracy of Indiana will have taken a long step on the road to success. Hisdistinguishing characteristies are such as to command respect and obedience and to stimulate effort. He has ample means, he enjoys a wide acquaintance over the state, and he has large business interests which commend him to the substantial elements of the party. But whether chosen state chairman or assigned to lead the district fight only, Stephen B. Fleming will be found fighting as loyally and working as hard as he fought and worked in the ranks.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. : : - Under the Mistletoe.

The Chicago American of last Friday -has the following of local interest: “Bert Knapp, the jockey who has lately returned from Krance, where he rode for the W. K. Vanderbilt stable the latter part of the season, has announced that he will nog ride for Vanderbilt next season, but has contracted to ride in Russia for Count Zawaski, the leading Russian owner. As the Russian season does not open until April 15, Knapp will ride free lance in France from the opening of the FKFrench season in Marech until the middle of April and after the Russian season closes in the autumn. ; : ~ Knapp has no intention of trying to ride in America again, as he is gradually growing heavier and would ‘have difficulty in training down to weight. The lowest he rode irr France was at 117 pounds. He will spend the winter at the Great Northern.” An Evening with Apollo. Last Thursday evening at the Methodist echurch, Bippen’s Orchestra assisted by other local talent, gave an interesting and enjoyable entertainment. The various numbers rendered by the orchestra were well received and di}played considerable talent. Vocal solos by Miss Helen Mitehell and Mrs. Lou J. Dunning were roundly applauded, while Herman Sack who made his first appearance before an audience as a pianist, was a surprise to many who did not realize that Ligonier contained so ex‘cellent a performer upon this difficult and resourceful instrument. Young Sack acquitted himself splendidly ‘and met a hearty reception. Financially, the concert was not the success that it merited.

Concerning the published statement to the effect that the ILake Shore is about to establish a St. Louis service out of Toledo via the Vandalia, to compete with the Wabash, in retaliation against the latter for its entrance into the Chicago field, Vice President and General Manager Brown of the Lake Shore, said on Wednesday of last week: ‘“There is absolutely no truth in the report. While we may at some future time inaugurate a St. Louis service via Butler and the Vandalia, the matter up to date has not even been discussed.” : :
An exchange truthfully says: ‘lt is a noticeable fact that many good itemis are lost to the newspapers every week by the modesty of the people who hesitate to tell the editors matters concerning themselves. The right thing to do is to courteously stop the newspaper man on the street or any other place you may see him and tell him you have been on a visit, have relatives visiting you, that you and your wife have a new baby at the house, or anything that is in any way a matter of news. If you have done anything that is mean, keep that to yourself, for he always knows it; there are others who make it their business to tell him that.”
