IJynum is still waiting for his pay for work done in the interest of McKinley in '96. There are about 11,000 seats in the Philadelphia convention hall, so that at least some of the vice presi dential possibilities will not have to stand up. Mr. Taylor, of Kentucky, now the guest of Governor Mount, says he will not run for governor of that state. There is an indictment for murder against him down there and it is more pleasant for him to be a private citizen under Governor Mount's protection than to be a big fellow across the river in the face of such a serious charge. AVA Kit I'M WltOTK PI.ATFOIOI. The democratic state platform was drafted by Henry Warrum, of Indianapolis. Mr. Warrum presen ted his platform to the committee through Chailes Spencer, of Monti

cello, a former classmate at Depauw university. Fully three-fourths of the Warrum platform was adopted by the committee on resolutions. Another draft of platforms was prepared by G. V. Menzies and one by Editor Morss. It is a striking example of the irony of fate that the man that furnished the platform to the democratic state convention, was not allowed to go as a delegate to the convention. Warrum was on the tloor of the convention just the same and took an active part in manipulating the convention.

DUl'MMKKS FOU It It VAN. The directors of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust league, at a meeting held May 30 in New York City, adopted resolutions pledging their support to William J. Bryan and the Democratic ticket to be named at Kansas City. "Whereas, it now appears certain that one of the principal planks in the Democratic platform which will be adopted at the Kansas City convention will declare in opposition to trusts, and also that William Jennings Bryan, who is in full sympathy with this league regarding the trust question, will be the Democratic candidate for President; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Commercial Travelers' and Hotelmen's AntiTrust league pledges itself to use all its power in the aid of the election of the Democratic ticket to be nom inated at Kansas City. "The trusts, which have already forced more than 50,000 commercial travelers out of employment and caused a reduction in the salaries of those remaining, are the creation of the Republican party, and can only exist by the will of the present Federal administration. Every middle man is interested in the result of this movement; and on principles of self-defense we invite their co-oper ation to fight the Republican party, which fosters and encourages the trusts. If these ruinous combinations are not curbed they will event ually destroy all that is pledged by the Declaration of Independence, for their agents have already violated the constitution." THE CANDIDATES. Regarding the democratic candi dates on the state ticket, the Indian apolis News, a republican paper, says: "In Mr. Kern the democrats nominated probably their strongest man. It is doubtful if he is stronger with his party than Mr. Shively would have been. Hut outside his party, we believe, he is stronger. He is a creditable candidate withal. He has strength of character, a fine executive mind, is a lawyer of conceded ability, a popular speaker ot force, and a man of decision. He has courage. He is clean and upright. He is in the prime of life. There is no doubt that he will make a strong race. He has long been familiar with public affairs both state and city. As a legislator, as a state offi cial, as city attorney, as a lawyer who has always taken an active in terest in politics, he is better equip ped than most men for important ollice. "He has been a party man always. If he had not been he would not be the democratic nominee for gover nor. When silver had the call he had no difficulty in answering and was for silver. His record on this is neither unique nor unusual, nor has it indeed any bearing on his race for governor. But to a party man the character to which it is an index is of the right kind. It tells us of a willingness to subordinate self to to organization, and to yield personal preferences to party demands. Mr Kern is of governor size and his

paity can feel that no man they could have nominated could get more votes. "The other names on the ticket are those of strong men: some of them, as the nominees for superintendent of public instruction and for attorney-general, may rank as young men, who bring to their candidacy besides experience in their lines of

work, ami familiarity with public affairs, the enthusiasm of youth. As a whole, from Colonel Lawler, as candidate for lieutenant-governor, to Mr. Horuff, as candidate for state statistician, the ticket is fairly repre sentative of intelligence and solid character. Win or lose, it is creditable that candidates of this standing should be chosen." ELECTION LAW CASE. When an Election ltallot Is Not IIlegHl. The supreme court Friday reversed the decision in the case of John F. borders Ts. William P. Williams. The court held that placing a cross at the left of the names of two candidates for the same office does not necessarily make a voter's ballot illegal, if it is otherwise properly prepared as a mixed ticket, and the improper marking ap pears to have been due to an honest mistake. In such a case the ballot Bhould be counted for each candidate voted for except the two who were running for the same ollice and rejected as to them. The parties were rival candidates for the ollice of treasurer of Pulaski county. The election board de clared horders elected by a plurality of six votes and Williams brought suit to contest the election. The board of commissioners decided that Williams was elected by one vote and Horders appealed. The circuit court decided that Willian s had a plurality of four votes and Borders appealed to the sti preme court. The supreme court decided that the circuit court had counted two votes for Williams to which he was not entitled and had rejected four votes that ought to have been counted for Borders, and that, therefore, the latter was entitled to the ollice of treasurer. Borders is a republican. STATE'S SWA MI LAND. Attorney General to Investigate Title Alonp the Kankakee. Within the next two weeks Attorney General Taylor will go to Starke county to examine the land which the state owns along the Kankakee river. There are about 1,000 acres in the tract and the last legislature authorized its pale and ordered the proceeds to be devoted to draining swamps and marshes. The land is occupied by squatters, and re cently complaints that they have been cutting down the timber have been numerous. There is some question about the state beiog able to give a clear title to the land, and this will be investigated by the attorney general. It is probable he will have the land surveyed, divided into tracts and sold in accordance with the law, DOOM FOR SHIVELY. The Movement Starte! to Make 1 1 i lit the Vice-Presidential Candidate. State Chairman Martin, Thomas Taggart and other democratic leaders announced last week that there is a well organized movement to make Shively a candidate for vice-president. They say the national committee knows of the plan nd will favor him in the selection. They also declare the state organization and Indiana Democrats support the movement. Martin says there is no doubt of the movement and thinks it possible Shively may be nominated. Career of John XV. Kern. John W. Kern, the democrats gubernatorial nominee, was born December 20, 1849, at Alto, Howard county, Ind. He was educated in the common schools near his home, but was greatly aided in his studies by his father, who was an excellent scholar. Following the common schools Mr. Kern entered the Kokomo Normal school, where he studied two years. He then entered the University of Michigan and was graduated from the law department. After his graduation he opened a law oflice at Kokomo, where he practiced until 1888. Mr. Kern served as reporter of ihe supreme court in 1884, but was defeated for the same place in 1888. Since then he has lived in Indianapolis, where he has made corporation and constitutional law a specialty and has been city attorney. Mr. Kern is a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Order of Elks. He is also a member of the Commercial, the University and the Century clubs of Indianapolis. Indiana Crop Ilulletin. The Indiana crop bulletin for the week ending June 5 has the following to say: "Light and heavy rains, in localities, most every day prevented farm work in general, but the cultivation of corn and potato fields particularly, and weeds grew with great rapidity; all crops were much improved by the rain; corn is growing well, cut worms injured some fields and the rains injured that In the lowlands. Oats, rye and barley are in good condition. Potatoes are In bloom. Timothy and clover are improved, the latter is nearly ready to cut; meadows and pasturage improved, but the rains came too late in some localities to Insure a heavy crop. Fruit promises an abundant crop, but pears and apples are dropping badly, and worms are injuring the apple trees in many orchards.

Sad Kxperience of a Former I'ly inotit h ;irl in New York. A dinpatch from New York says that Miss IloBe Mnxwell, a talented young violinist of Lafayette, Ind., her irietid, Mies Celeste Seymour, of Cincinnati; several other young women, and detectives are lookine for Charles Mottaid, also known as Banks. The youm; women charge hin: with inveigling them into giving him all the money tbey could raise, on a pretext of eivin? them an engagement with an orchestra which he was to take to the I'aris expedition. Miss Maxwell resigned as instructor in a school at Tuskegee, Ala., and in order to obtain pullicient money to ac cept Mottard'e proposition, went to her home in Lafayette and sold everything she had. When ehe left home tf ie local papers prophesied she would return a virtuoso, and a local brass band escorted her to the train. The pany was to fail late in May. When the young women went to the steamship ollices they found no provision had been made for thtm. Then they put the case in the hands or an attorney. A warrant wae issued for Mottard's arrest, but he has not yet been apprehended. Misses Maxwell and Seymour were compelled to send home for funds. It' se Maxwell is an accomplished musician formerly of this city, where she is well and favorably known. She is a daughter of the Itev. J. II. Maxwell, a Methodist minister located at Kewanna. Rev. Maxwell was formerly the pastor of the Plymouth Methodißt church. 1'lyuioiith Soldier ShooU Filipino. A letter from K. K. Hayes to hit parents in this city, dated at (Juijulugan in the Philippines, describee the bushwhacking of the Americans in those inlands. Among other things, he says: "While we were setting breakfat one mornintr, four of the enemy came by us. We halted them and made them get awav to the woods. Hut I kept going after one of them and halted him. I called for the sergeant and as soon as I had turned my back, the soc-of-a-cun ran as fast as his lees could carry him. That made me mad and I pulled my rille up to mv shoufder and let him have it right through the heart. He gave one groan and fell. I went up to him and took his spear and bolo from him and came back to where the rest of the crowd was and they had not tired a shot I turned the spear in and kept the bolo. It is three feet long and as 6harp as a razor." C'oiiiiiiitxiolier's Court. The commissioner's court Thursday transacted the following business: The report of Peter J. Kruyer as snperintendent of the county asylum approved. A remonstrance with a majority of leeal voters of Hourbon township was filed at the court house and license to sell liquor by (leo. W. Roberts and Cornelius K. Jones were refused. Contract for furnishing supplies for the county asylum were let to the following: Porter & Co. groceries, 10fJ 01; Lauer & Son clothing, :?32.0; Lauer A: Son shoes, 818.23; Porter & Co , Culver, dry goods, Uuck hardware, 8H.00; E. A. Fink drugs, 4.05; Geo. Vinall fruits, 811.00; Jacox potatoes, 817.50; L. Townsend brooms, 84.111. Knox AV ill Jrov. The appeal of William Windish from the decision of the county commission ers, annexing all parts of sections 25 and 23 not already within the corporate limits to the town of Knox, was dismissed at Valparaiso Tuesday by J. W. Nichols, attorney for Mr. Windieh. This tllows the decision of the commissioners to stand and the new territory is now a part of the town. Knox is uow two miles east and west by one mile north and south. The annexation adds something near 8200,000 to the assessed value of the property in the corporation. Purses Made Earner. A meeting of the ollicers of the Northwestern Indiana Fair association, composed of Porter, Lake and Laporte counties, was held at Valparaiso Saturday afternoon, and it was decided to give more attention to the speed ring and in consequence large purses will be offered, so as to induce fast horses to make the circuit. There will be six stake races with 8Ü00 purses. Horses of 2:13 and 2:15 classes will be brought to the circuit as a result Entries will be received commencing June 15 and closing Aug. 31. Sugar iteet Company. Two million dollars, it is said, will be used to promote the sugar beet industry in the Kankakee valley Of that amount over two-thirds will be subscribed by Chicago capitalists, who will control the company. The name of t he corporation is to be the Kankakee Valley lieet Sugar company, with headquarters in Chicago and branch ollices at each of the four proposed factories. John FarnswortL, of Detroit, Mich., has been engaged in organizing the proposed company. A Democratic Weekly I'aper Starte!. South Rend has another newspaper. It made its appearance last week. The name of the new publication is the JelTersonian Democrat and the headline suggests its political color. J. D. Cowand is editor of the paper, which will be issued every Thursday in the future. Mr. Cowand is a southerner and formerly published the Clarion at Carthage, Tenn. fSiiiherat San I'ierre. A telegram from San Pierre says: A reliable report has reached town that a "gueher" was struck today on the farm of Adam Smith, northwest of town. This is entirely a surprise as experienced prospectors claimed there was no oil in this vicinity. The oil is (lowing strong. Valparaiso Messenger.

Colby aped 20 years, and Jennie IJrown, aged 22 yearp, both of Klkhart.

Altr the marriage his father will be hie brother-in-law as well as his father, and his wife's sister will be her mother-in-law. Should Mr. and Mrs. Colby be blessed with a son, he would not be mistaken if he called his grandfather uncle or should address his mother as aunt. liiuglars Knter L. K. & V. Depot. Friday night between G and 7 o'clock burglars entered the L. E. & W. depot by prying open a window on the east side of the depot.

The burglars were busy ransacking a trunk in the bagage room when Mr. Elmer (iriesom and his wife returned to the depot to do some unfinished work which Mr. Griseom hd left when he went to supper. The burglars heard them come and made their escape, and Mr. (Jrisbom seeing the money drawer pulled out and broken rff hastened outside and saw two men going north on the railroad and when they were a short dietance up the track they parted, one going east and the other one west.
