The Washington Post is out in a strong editorial in favor of Senator Fairbanks fof vice president. Ex-Congressman Geo. W. . Steele predicts that Gov. Durbin will be the republican nominee for vice president. The Illinois delegation is instructed to vote for William R. Hearst for president at the democratic national convention. The prohibition state committee will introduce a new feature known as voters' pair pledges." They will be circulated la all pares of Indiana. By signing this pledge in the presence of a witness, a democrat and a republican, known to and trusted by each other they pledge their word of honor that for five years they will vote the prohibition ticket. As the old parties will not relatively lose or gain by such action, the prohibitionists expect to gain several thousand votes in this way. The nomination of Senator Fairbanks for the vice presidency will make him the leading stump speaker in the republican campaign . President Roosevelt has announced his purpose to follow the precedent which forbids a president from taking an active part In a political campaign. Senator Fairbanks undoubtedly will make a tour of.the country. This will extend the already wide circle of his acpualtance and his friends hope that it will enhance his prospects for the presidential nomination four years heuce. The people of Indianapolis and the state at large at just beginning to realize what they lost when George F. McCulloch's Morning Star swallowed the old reliable, dignified and always interesting and instructive Indianpolis Journal. Lamentations over the merciless daughter of teat revered publication are beard all over the state. Its old-time readers and admirers will not be comforted. The loss Is regarded an irreparable one. To let such a paper pass outoi existence without even as much as a "Farewell!" seems inexcusably hard-hearted and cruel. South Bind Times. 'The dead sea apples of Hearst corruption of the democracy of Illinois were poured into the lap of the rank and file of the party today," is the Chicago Chronicle style of introduction to a lenthy report of the democrat convention at Springfield on Tuesday. It is quite an expressive sentence and tells briefly just what happened at the gathering of democracy's clans, where an organized' and a determined effort was made by the "reg'ulari" to thwart the Hearst influence. It resulted in a pronounced Hearst Tictory however, though the lavish use of Hearst cash, and will give a big boost to the Hearst movement nationally. The yellow, ournal proprietor, pretended friend of the common people, the champion of the downtrodden and the distributor of corrupting funds to gain political power, Is now a recognized factor with whom the party must deal in the national contest. He has an extensive following and is bound to make trouble in the democratic ranks whichever way the wind blow on the day the convention meets. Tne Illinois victory settles that point. Hearst can not be ruthlessly shoved aside, , Cabinet Cranges. Mr Moody, the present Secretary of the Navy will succeed Mr. Knox as Attorney-General the latter having accepted the senatorial vacancy caused by the death of Senator Piatt. Representative Foss, of Illinois, chairman of the house committee on naval Affairs, probably will succeed Moody as secretary of the navy. Besides Mr. Foss, Representative Dayton, of West Virginia, who is aba & member of the committee on naval affairs, is also being considered.

Rochester Woman Murdered. Mrs. McKlnney, of Rochester, Ind., was recently killed at Pueblo, Colo., and the body sent to Rochester for interment. The mystery surrounding the killing Is cleared up as follows by dispatches from Puelo. "Pueblo

Col., June 13. Gilpert P. Dodge, a livery keeper, shot and killed his wife and Mrs. Maud McKioney on the principal business street of this city. The women were sitting in a carriage in front of a fish market. Dodge dismounted from a horse on which he was riding, shot one woman in the head and the other in the throat and then tried to kill himself, put did not succeed, being disarmed by the police. "Mrs. McKlnney Is said to be the wife of Cnarles McKlnney, of Cripple Creek, who was under arrest on the charge of being one of the men who wrecked the Shortline train bearing non-union miners some months ago. In a statement, Dodge says he ment to kill his wife and her companion because his wife had been untrue, and the woman with her was responsible for leading his wife astray. The Appaling Disaster. Fire, the cruelist wife of Death, was active in behalf of her spouse for but ten minutes on the General Slocum. At the end of her brief, consum ing intensity of purpose she had woven into his great crown of mortal sorrow a thousand beautiful, green, stainless, laurel leaves. Seldom can Death adorn his pride as be did Wednesday morning on the East river. His victories are oftenest over the aged and weary, the poor and joyless, or the sick and weak. But from the'Slocum fire brought him the youngest happiest, most vital living beings anywhere to be found. She took them when their bold on life seemed most secure and when their joy of living was yet complete. The pain of those who have nied, horrible as it was, was less than the pain which must abide with those whom the deap have left behind them. That the crushing grief of the surviv Ing members of St. Mark's German Luthern church of New York may be softened is the prayer of the people of America. Chicago Tribune. Eat Before Going to Bed, A short time since physicians held that eating of food immediately before retiring almost acrime. The old theory is quite exploded. One medical journal, in commentiug on the subject recently, said that while it is not good, as a matter of fact, to go to bed with the stomach so loaded that the undigested food will render one restless, still something of a light, palatable nature in the stomach is one of the best aids to quietude and rest. The process of digestion goes on in sleep with as much regularity as when one is taking violent exercise to aid it, and so something In the stomach is very desirable for the night's rest. Some physicians have declared, indeed, that a good deal of the prevalent insomnia is the result of an unconscious craving of the stomach for food in persons who have been unduly frightened by the opinion that they must not eat before going to bed, or who have, like many nervous women, been keeping themselves in a state of semi-starvation. Nothing Is more agreeable on retiring for the night than to take a bowl of hot broth, oatmeal gruel or some good nourishing soup. It is a positive aid to nervous people, and induces peacesui slumbers. This Is especially the case during cold winter nights, when the stomach craves warmth as much as any other part of the body. Even a glass of hot milk is grateful to the palate on such occasions, but a bowl of light, well cooked gruel is better, and during the cold months of winter should be the retiring food of every woman who feels, as many do, the need of food at night. Indianapolis Sentinel. To the Public and Patrons of the Plymouth Telephone Exchange. It has been the custom of the public in general when the fire alarm is sounded, to the nearest phone and ask central where the fire is. It is an impossibility to give any kind of service with 300 calls at once, and we hereby respectfully request all people from calling central for five minutes after the alarm is sounded, as the city depends upon the central to turn the alarm into the water works and getting the chief and the barn and to locate the fire, and every one calling in and asking where the fire is Interferes with their ability to do so. In case of fire go to the nearest phone give the exact location and tell whose building is on fire. Yours Resp't, F. H. Kuhn, Chief of Fire Dept. C. A. Reeve, Mgr. Plymouth Tel. Ex. On Ourrjtcf Dmy.

Mozart Benetit Concert. The Mozart Musical club held their

last concert of this season at the church of God Wednesday evening. The concert was under the special di rection of Prof. W. P. Macnenry who has directed the Mozart Club since last March. The choruses showed the careful drilling and painstaking labor of both the instructor and the club. All numbers were rendered par excellence and all were encored, especially fine were the two numbers by Prof. MacHenry. Tue harpest Mrs. B. C. Kreighbaum, deserves special mention as also does the solo sung by Miss Emma Yockey who was accompanied by the violinist Prof. Van Aiken. In addition to the regular program Prof Van Aiken treated the audience with one of his delightful violin solos, ne was encored twice. "Robert Adair" the piano solo given by Miss F. Smith was highly appreciated. The second part of the program consisted of the Song Cycle, entitled flawthorneand Lavender." It was sung by the Misses Neff, Hoham, Vinall and Yockey, accompanied by Mrs. Edna Corbalev. The "Cycle" consist ed of ten parts, three of which were solos and seven quartettes: The three solos were sung by the Misses Neff, Hoham and Vinall They singing re spectively, "This is the Moon of the Roses," "The Downs," and "After the Grim Daylight." This was a classical piece and the ladies deserve much praise in their rendition of this classical number. All in all, the ladies deserve much praise for the first class entertainment they gave the public, and though they had a fair-sized house, the club should have been better pat ronized than it was. This is their last appearance before the public un til next September when they will sing at the United Brethren minis terial conference to be held m this city. Next week the club elects the of ficers for the ensuing year. It is much to their regret that Prof. MacHenry, who is going to move to Detroit, cannot be with them next season. "VlYIAN'i PAHA'S" At Powers Theatre. Chicago. Rich and Harris Comedians, headed by Blanch Ring and Leo Ditrichstein have made one of the few trlumps of recent theatricals in Chicago, at Pow ers' Theatre. One of the local critics in praising the piece and the produc tion said that "for this relief from the usual run of musical comedy much thanks," for in "Vivian's Papa's" we have a rapid action, racy, up-to-date farce, involving American characters, all of whom come under the spell of a flighty and fascinating chorus girl, Vivian, (played by Miss Rin;; who gets into all sorts of em barrassing complications before mat ters are straightned out in the last act Miss Ring is the engaging young woman, who is the most recent hit among the young performers in New York City and now in Chicago and last winter she added to her American aurels by playing an extended engage ment at the famous Savoy Theatre, in London, which was for so many years the home of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. As a singer Miss Ring has renown both upon the legit mate and the vaudeville stage, and in the second act of Mr. Detrichstein's farce she sines three of the songs she has made famous the Irish ballad "BedeIIa, " the characteristic New York song "The Belle of Avenue A," and a walk ing song, "She Walks Like This," which illustrates the walk of various types of girls The management of Powers expect that this light and surprising play will have a summer's run and the audien ces are already so large and overflow ing that it has been found necessary to give regular Wednesday as well as Saturday matinees and to give perforin aces straight through the week that is to say including Sunday night Artillery Corps.. Tne engagement of the Fort Sheridan artillery corps through the personal inflnlnce or Hon. A. L. Brick with the United States government for a special exhibition drill at South Rend on July 4th is certainly a fortunate occurrence. It is seldom that this crack military company is allowed to leave the fort and this will be a rare opportunity for those who love to see men and horses in military action. The drill will be in an open field near the city and Is absolutely free tu all. Richard Utrs'.itld in South Bead.

ILLINOIS THEAIRE CHICAGO.

Triumphant Return of "The Tenderfoot Without doubt the most conspic uous engagment in Chicago at present and which is to continue there Con vention week, isthat of the well known and widely popular comic opera entitled "The Tenderfoot, " in which Mr. Richard Carle not only appears as the leadiDg comedy spirit, to.-wit, the pedantic Prof. Pettibone, but he is also programmed as the author of the book which indicates that versatility is not wanting in this popular comedian, "The Tenderfoot" relates in an amusing way the experiences of a professor of an Eastern college, who is escorting a group of young lady graduates to California by the Southern Route, stopping in Texas on the Rio Grande, where he has a niece, who is the owner of a large ranch. Mr. Carle has collated a series of adventures in both prose and rhyme,, the latter of course set to music and beautiful music too, by the way, which illustrates in an unmistakably breezy fashion the hearty life of the frontiersman as it exists in that locality. The personnel includes besides the young lady graduates, a designing authoress, a frontier gambler, and the officers and soldiers of a Texas ranger regiment just back from Cuba, cowboys, Mexican girls and a solitary Chinaman servant on the ranch. There is enough of love story in it to bring about before the final curtain the mating of the Colonel of the rangers and the young mistress of the ranch and a low comedy sargeant and the maid ' of the ranch woman. " , Mr. Carle's very popular opera will remain at the Illinois for some weeks, when it will be followed with an entirely new production of which more information will be furnished our readers in due time. Bad Teeth Cause Dyspepsia. The close connection between decayed teeth and diseases of the digestion is pointed out by a medical writer. The presence of free acids in the mouth is particularly harmful. These may come from various sources, but most commonly from the acid fermentation of tbe carbo-hydrate food lodged on or between the teeth at the gums, and due to the action of microorganisms present in the mouth. Normally the saliva is alkaline and any acids produced in the crevices of the teeth arethus neutralized and de cay prevented. There are two condi tions under which the saliva is unable to neutralize the acids produced locally, namely. First, when it is deficient in alkalinity, and, second, when it is deficient in quantity. As to tbe former, it is well known that the sal iva becomes less alkaline or even acid in any condition of prolonged gastric digestion, a phenomenon which occurs in nearly all cases of dyspepsia. Moreover, the teeth when decayed further tend to keep up the state of chronic dyspepsia by rendering mas tication imperfect. A vicious circle is thus established. To obviate this form of dental disease the teeth should be washed frequently with a solution of which one of the ingredients is bicarbonate of soda.' Tills may prevent one of the most disagreeable results of the disease facial neuralgia. Former Monterey Aan Killed by His Wife "I have tried to have Mr. Allen come to some agreement, and be will not. I can. not stand it any longer. Forgive me all. I am driven to what I have done. Any young wife in my position would have done the same." "Mame." This note was written by Mrs. L. D. Allen after she had shot and killed ner husband and just preceeding her own suicide by the same meaus. Alien was zs ana nis wire 20 years of age. The young woman evidently fired four shots at her husband, two of which took effect, after which she wrote the farewell note and then killed herself. The young woman's mother is said to live InMeadvIlle, Pa., while Allen came from Monterey,-Ind. Chicago Inter Ocean. Loses Valutble Animal on Michigan Roid. Monday's Michigan City Dispatch says: "While an automoble 'party from South Bend was coming to the city yesterday over the Michigan road their machine stalled in the sand near Roeskeville. Gus Heinke came along with a one-horse rig and hitched up to the machine to help It out. While the animal was being hitched to the machine it ' manifcited 5 considerable trepidation and trembled violently, and just as ihe machine was gotten out of the sandy place the horse dropped dead, presumably from fright.

Democrat bv injunction.

- i At Plymouth a controversy arose between the publisher of the Demo erat and the county treasurer and the county treasurer sent his official pub lications to the democratic paper at Bourbon for publication. The Dem ocrat asked the court for an injunction restraining the treasurer from select ing the Bourbon paper as the leading democratic paper in the county. The case came up before Judge Adair, of Columbia City, and he stated that it was out of his jurisdiction to pass up on what paper the official political or gan of tbe county, and the matter was dismissed upon motion of tbe defend ant. The matter was heretofore tried before Judge Bernetha in which the temporary restraining order was is sued he also holding it was out of his jurisdiction. This would leave the question very much one for the county official to decide for himself. The court further said that what might be the leading democratic paper one day might ere the month be tbe leading republican paper; and that the ques tion of greatest circulation was also one that could be changed in a few weeks, and the court could not say which would be the leading paper at the close of the year. Kewanna Her aid. Valuable Invention. Charles Reddinger has invented and secured a patent on a metal railroad tie. The description of tbe tie as given by Mr. Reddinger would indi cate he had fully solved the problem which has long confronted tbe rail road companies. The tie proper is made of sneet steel and constructed in the shape of a square trough into which, at either end. a short block of oak is forced, coming directly under the T rail. Tha tie, when once im bedded, need never be disturbed In taking out and replacing the blocks upon which the rail rests. The diffi culty heretofore experienced in adapting a metal tie is its non-resistance and consequent concussion to running trains which feature has been over come by Mr. Reddinger in providing for a short block of wood to be inser ted.

The colony at Dayton first started the platf and it was eagerly adopted by many Dunkards in various counties. The new home of the German Baptists, as the Dunkards prefer to be known, will be tbe rice lands of Texas, the fertile plains of which offer aood living and tbe additional advantage that the colony will not be as crowded as it is now. . The time will not be announced for a while, as there are many things to be settled yet. Squirrel Law. The squirrel season in former times opened June 1st, but the late legis lature changed the date for various reasons. At this time of the year some of the squirrels are too young to have any cunning and they fall an easy prey to the gun of the hunter. A few months added to their period of safety will make them harder to kill and will glye them a better chance for their life. This year it is unlawful to kill squirrel before the first day of August. At that time, however, they may be killed and from that time on to the first of January .Married at Long Range.

THE STATE'S MONEY Its Expenditure Carefully Guarded by the Auditor of Slate.

STRICT ACCOUNTING IS ENFORCED Fiscal Affairs cf Indiana Are Handled Like Those of Any Other Great Business Institution Some Interesting Facts About the Operations of an Important Department of State. Special Correspondence. Indianapolis, June 14. No office la ol greater importance to the taxpayers of Indiana than that of State Auditor. It is first of all charged with the supervision of all expenditures , of public money, and upon this office falls the responsibility of holding to strict accountability all those charged with the disbursement of funds raised by state taxation. State Auditor David E. Sherrick- has risen to the full measure of his responsibilities in this as in other particulars. Fidelity to proper accountings in coniormlty with the state laws has been strictly enforced In all disbursements and the integrity bf all appropriations has been rigidly preserved. Mr. Sherrlck's career as Auditor of istate is in thorough harmony with one of the declarations in the platform "upon which he was elected two years ago, viz: "In the management of the state's financial affairs the Republican party believes that the DAViJ !. SHERRICK. state government is like any great business institution, considered from the standpoint of accountability and responsibility to the people of the commonwealth. It believes the humblest taxpayer is an interested stockholder in the financial affairs of the state's business, and that inefficiency, indifference or waste in public administration, expenditures or accountings is a crime." In his last report to the governor, covering the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1903, State Auditor Sherrick presents some figures bearing on state accounting which are of interest to taxpayers. In discussing the fiscal affairs of the state he says: "There is now levied for state purposes an aggregate tax of 30 cents on each $100. Of this, amount nine cents is for the general fund, and five cents for the benevolent institution fund. From the levies in these funds combined cosie to the state all the taxes that ar or can be used for the general expenses of the state, and said taxes amounted last year to $2,009,806.27. Tbe levy for school purposes is 11 cents on the $100, and the taxes resulting are distributed pro rata among tne different counties, according to the enumeration of school children. This tax aggregated last year $1,667,892.66. The specific levy of 3 cents on each $100 for payment on the public debt amounted to $414,498.37, and was immediately applied to the purposes of its collection. The educational institution tax of one and twothirds cents on each $100 amounted to $230,334.38, and was distributed as the law provides; 40 per cent to the Indiana University, 30 per cent to the State Normal School, and 30 per cent to Purdue University. "The maintenance coat of the state institutions, notwithstanding the Increased prices of many articles entering into consumption, has been within the appropriations, and there will be no deficits for the legislature to provide for; one institution, the Central Hospital for Insane, not even drawing any of its large per capita allowance of $24,602.21. The cost of excess population above the basis fixed for the regular maintenance appropriations in the larger institutions was $58,175.16. The uniform accounting system of debits and credits from purchase to consumption, the competitive plan of buying with discounts for cash, the cultivation of the ground and the raising of stock where institutions have farm lands, has lessened the cost of vegetables, meats, potatoes and milk quite perceptibly, and Is manifest in the excellent comparison of per capita with the years past" Auditor ' Sherrick has been active and efficient in the supervision ef banking, building and loan and insurance concerns falling within the jurisdiction of his department, and has Initiated important prosecutions which have resulted in practically eliminating wild-cat companies of this charao ttr. . There has been under his ad ministration unusual vigilance In the protection cf the rights of .the stats in the land department of the auditor's ode: In the Insurance department alone fees and taxes aggregating $3C),e$4.3 wer collected during the fiscal fezx 1SC3, an lacre&se over ths pre Tlcsa jtxr cf IS0.C0O.

give to Democrats older In the faith and wiser than he a chance to win victories comparable with those twice won by Mr. Cleveland." This is In accord with the tone of other comments from similar sources and such things are perpetrated as if they contained the essence of political wisdom. Of course it is true that the Nebraskan twice failed to be elected, but it Is true also that no Democrat on earth could have been elected following the Cleveland administration, and if the reorganizes who prate about the Bryan defeat had any sense of fairness whatever they would either admit this or keep their opinions on the subject to themselves.

It has become a proverb 'that a national campaign is always a bad time for business. Give a thought to this fact and it is not difficult to understand. There is always more or less uncertainty as to the result. The future is inevitably somewhat in doubt. A possible change of administration means a probable c-ange of conditions. The merchant, for example, has no means of determining Just what this change will be. He buys, therefore, only what he is compelled to buy to meet immediate demands. Thus there Is less demand for manufactured produts, the factories are required to retrench, fewer operatives are needed, and thus there is less demand for labor. This leads to a reduction in purchases and nere again the merchant has still more reason to cut down his orders; this again reduces the demand for the manufacturer's products, and then again comes a diminished demand for labor. So until election day wo have an endless chain of causes all tending toward a depression in business. Now add to this the fact that the tendency among merchants in ordinary times Is to buy further and still further ahead, notwithstanding the increase in facilities for communication and transportation, we say add this fact to the others, and the wonder is that a pinching depression in business had not come a good while ago. And so it would have been, had it not been for the prevailing impression that there will be no change at the coming election. The tariff reformers at various times have been agitated by what they call the copper trust. Finally they discovered that copper ore is on the free list and most of them ceased to use this particular illustration, though they still proclaim that the tariff is the mother of trusts, thus conveniently forgetting of course that if this is true, then in this case of the copper trust ve have a creature that comes into the world without a mother. At the same time they might explain the window glass business. It Is true that there Is a company that the newspapers speak of as the window glass trust, but this company lacks so much of being a monopoly that the competition has been of the keenest sort for years. And yet In the McKinley law and in the Wilson-Gorman law and in the Dingley law the duty on window glass has been very high. Notwithstanding this it has been impossible to form a trust or a combination of any sort that would prevent the liveliest of competition. Here are two cold facts of more than ordinary Importance in the business world that ought to be known to everybody two facts that, standing alone, are sufficient to take the pith out of the theory that the tariff is the mother of trusts. And these are but two of numerous facts, all giving the direct lie to this tariff theory. But what has the tariff reformer to do with facts? . It is incredible, but It seems to bo true, that most of the Democratic leaders appear to be ignorant of the tariff history of Great Britain, which for so many years was held up to us as a paragon of fiscal and industrial wisdom. The truth is that England built up an enormous trade under the policy of protection. When her commercial supremacy was established and when it was assumed that England could successfully compete with all other nations, free trade was considered. But not until the free traders of that country were led to believe that other countries would adopt their policy did they themselves sdopt it. But the drift of the world since then has been in the other direction, and even England's experience has not been satisfactory. So now, as John Sharp William, the Democratic leader in the house, has publicly declared, even free trade Britain Is on the way back to protection. After centuries of success under protection and a half century of disappointment under free trade, Great Britain prepares to Join the other nations in the drift toward protection. Here is a fact of overwhelming significance that" everybody should keep In mind all the while if he is to have a grasp of the tariff question that he needs in order to vote intelligently on the subject. Of course the leaders of the Democratic party are not all willing to admit this, and there are a good many reasons to believe that some of them do not even know ths facts in the case, Incredible as this ignorance sesms to be.
