PATRICK KEEFE DEAD

Victim of the Litchfield Disaster on the Wabash Railway Last Sunday. BIES OF HIS TERRIBLE SCALDS Desires the Doctors to First Kelieve His Friend Tragedy of a House Coat Items. Indianapolis, July C Patrick J. Kyan, city inspector of weights cna measures, and John Keefe, of 2149 Korth Meridian street, have returned from Litchfield, 111., where their uncle, Patrick Keefe, of Kentland, a wellknov.n Indiana politician, died of in juries in the AValash line wreck f Sunday. Keefe was on his way to the St. Louis convention as alternate dele gate, lie had also been chosen last May as nominee for Democratic elector for the Tenth Indiana district "With him was James B. Roberts, of Kentland, a wealthy real estate man, and candidate for treasurer of Newton county, who also died from steam scalding. "Wanted Ills Friend Believed First. Keefe and Iloberts were in the for ward coach, and the steam from the overturned engine enveloped them. Keefe was conscious up to wltiin five minutes of his death, two and oue-half hours after the wreck. The heroism of Keefe and his solicitude as to the con dition of his friend and companion caused much comment. After being terribly scalded Keefe walked up the steps of the hospital unassisted, and when the physicians were giving him relief he told them that he could stund the pain, and that they should pay attention to Iloberts. W'tu a Pioneer Merchant. Keefe was one of the pioneer mer chants of Kentland, where for years he was in business with his brother. lie accumulated considerable wepkh. lie has always been a Democrat, and sev eral times he has stumped the state for the Democratic candidate.

Wilson's wife and Infant child are believed to have perished in the ruins. Wilson has been drinking or several days, and It is known that be and his wife have been quarreling. He has disappeared, and no traces of the bodies of the woman and child have been found. The wreck of the houseboat is scattered along the bank. The report of the explosion was heard here, but was thought at the time to be from firecrackers. Tried to Kidnap Her Own Child. Laporte, Ind., July 6. Much excite ment was caused here at a public cele bration by an attempt made by Mrs. Minnie Bormann, of Chicago, to kid nap her 10-year-old son from his grandmother, Mrs. Ernst Bormann, with whom he has lived since his pa rents separated. By a ruse the mother got the child, which cried, and after a chase the grandmother overtook her. Mrs. Ernst Bormann was struck and injured. Exonerated H la Slayer. Sullivan, Ind., July 6. Burdell K.

The burden of the campaigns must be, carried by the local party press. The metropolitan papers become mere manufacturing concerns whose "busi ness is to collect and sell news. They are bound to no set principles. They are answerable to no platform. They are guided solely by whatever is of benefit to them. We do not blame them for this. It is the trait of human nature in them. But they should .not arrogate to themselves superior virtues and superior wisdom. The honest paper of the land is the parti san paper. It stands for something. It is no better and claims to be no batter than the party for which it stands. It is fair, 1 manly. Is patri otic And the county paper li the most sincere of all papers because its editor ie always in the "ireat white light." He must be honest and. be it said to the honor of the fraternity, he wishes to be honest In the campaign at hand the work of presenting argu . raent and principles will fall to the local party press. Orators will address their thousands, but' each issue of a paper reaches far more people than any orator can addrrss in a single xaeetiag, while the orator's facts and figures have already been gathered from some paper.

o l nnMTT'iT niDTV 4. a rvLiiRflij rnnn OR A MACHINE ASSET? o o $004004O40000CH'0'fr0 Never in the history of Indiana polltics has there been a manifestation of bossism more flagrant than that at tendant upon the selection of delegates to the national Democratic convention In the Seventh congressional distiict, comprMng the county of Marion. The gentlemea who some time ago reached an agreement with David B. Hill of New York, whereby they agreed. to deliver the state of Indiana to any candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination whom he might select, in return for which they are to be recognized as the dictators of Democratic patronage In this state. saw to it that there was absolutely nothing left to chance. This coterie of politicians, being in control of the state committee, departed from all precedent by fixing the convention for the election of delegates to the nation al convention separate from the convention for the nomination of candi dates for state office, and sent forth the word that no one seeking to in terfere with their arrangements for the delivery of Indiana at St. Louis could hope for preferment at the hands of the body to assemble later for the making up of a state ticket In Marion county only three days' notice was given of the election of the delegates to select the delegation to the national convention, the opposition was denied the usual opportunity to have watchers at the count, and the police force was used for the purpose cf seeing to it that there was no interference with the program. The Indi anapolis News, which is the official organ of the Parker movement in In diana, last year filled its columns with denunciation of the Republican organization in Indianapolis because it gave only a few. weeks, instead of a few days' notice of the election of delegates to a city convention, and for months it cried out with righteous in dignation because of what it then call ed a violation of the spirit of fair play. The News has nothing but commendation, however, for these three days' notice primaries, the refusal to allow watchers to the Hearst men, and the calling together of the delegates at a secret caucus twenty-lour hours later for the delivery of the goods to the Parker machine in Indiana. Indeed, the News sees in all this the return of respectability to the Indiana Democracy a return to the good old days when Mr. Cleveland was in the White House and Mr. Simeon Coy was dolnj business in the precincts. Now what Is the real truth about the Parker movement in Indiana? Is It an "uprising of the better element" In the Democratic party, and does it bear the ear-marks of a return to the conditions which prevailed when the Indiana Democracy was a factor in the councils of the Democratic party, as the organ of the Parker movement Insists? Is there courage, conviction and superior political virtue back of the Parker movement in Indiana? Is there a widespread popular feeling in favor of David B. Hill's man in this state among the Democratic rank and file because of that for which he stands? Will the success of the scheme for the delivery of the party to the Hlll-Tammany-Cleveland com bine make Joseph E. McDonalds, Wm. H. Englishes and Thomas A. Hen drickses out of the leaders who are conducting these midnight maneu vers? In fact is there any genuine Parker movement in Indiana at all? Does anyone, outside of the gentlemen who have made the deal for the de livery of the state, know or care any thing about him? . Is Alton B. Parker of New York a personality, or is he merely a name like the label on a case of breakfast food? And despite the affectation of superior conscience and character and wisdom on the part of those who espouse his cause in Indl ana, is any candidate whose stock in trade as a politician is the fact that he has never committed himself on any question now before the American people, to be preferred to any candidate who has even one opinion of any kind on any subject? It is a sad condition In which the Democratic party in Indiana finds Itself. It has been reduced to the position of a mere asset, to be traded for prospective spoils, by a coterie of In dlanapolis politicians and their satel lltes, who care absolutely nothing about what is in the platform, or who is their candidate, just so he stands a chance of winning just so the thing for which they are contending bears promise of yielding a plethoric cam paign fund, collected on Wall street for the purpose of advancing the cause of "economic sanity" and "political conservatism," and enables them, in case of success at the polls, to be dis pensers of patronage. Will the Sim Coy methods which meet the cordial approval of every apostle of reform and reorganization who is now taking a hand in syndicat ing the Indiana Democracy, prevail in the other districts of the state? Presumably so. We are being presented with the spectacle of a delegation made up in the interests of a preiden tial candidate who on a showing of hands would not receive one vote in a hundred in Indiana. The state is being treated to an exhibition of maChine domination unprecedented In this or any other commonwealth outSide of the limited territory controlled by ;hat philanthropic society which is the model, as Jt is the partner in political business, of the elements now dominant in the Indiana Democratic organization Tammanv Hall.

ALL THE, STATES AT

THE WORLD'S FAIR. Many Beautiful Pavilions and Preten tious Buildings Show Forth the Enterprise! of American Commonwealths. A beautiful city has grown up among the trees on the World's Fair grounds at St Louis. It has nothing to do with the Immense exhibit palaces, but is a thing apart. The bouses in this new city are of various styles of architecture. Some are palatial In size and ap pearance, while others look merely cozy and inviting. Never before have so many notable and historic buildings been constructed in one group. This new city might be called the City of the States, for the houses Included in it are the state buildings at the Fair. The city is not compact, but some what straggling, as befits the picturesqueness of the view. Yet there is nothing suggestive of a Stringtown-on-the-rike about this city, for the grounds surrounding each of the houses are beautified with gardens typical of the state represented. All the states are to be represented at the World's Fair. This means a great deal, a shining triumph for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and furnishes another illustration of the fact that this Exposition's completeoess is the marvel of the age: Fifty-one states, territories and pos sessions of the United States have taken the steps necessary to partici pate in the World's Fair on an impor tant scale. But two states were still outside the fold at the last report, and in each of these was a well defined movement in favor of being represent ed at the Fair with buildings and ex hibits. New Ilampshire, the old home state, and Delaware are the states re ferred to. In New Ilampshire a fund for participation is being raised pri vately by patriotic citizens, so that in the event of legislative inaction this commonwealth may be represented. The states and territories are ex pending over $7,000,000 in their efforts to show off to best advantage at the Exposition. This is a million and a third more than was expended at the) Chicago exposition by the states. In addition to this, large cities in many states will have municipal exhibits, the funds for which are not included In these figures. The municipal exhibit Idea Is entirely novel. From a number of the states there will be prominent county exhibits provided by special ap propriation of county funds. This City of the States presents a picture of surpassing beauty. Nature has done much to aid In the creation of the picture. Never before has any exposition been able to grant such advantageous sites for state buildings. The buildings are situated on a. plateau about seventy-five feet higher than the level ground to the north upon which stand the main exhibit palaces. There are hills and ravines here and there, enabling the landscapists to lay out a most delightful pattern of roads and terraces and lawns. The smallest of the state buildings is that of Arizona, which stands near the southeastern entrance to the grounds One of the largest is that of Missouri, from the dome of which it is said that perhaps the very finest view of the Exposition may be enjoyed. This building is a palace in the Italian renaissance architecture, built at a cost of $105,000. Near by is the reproduc tion of the Cabildo at New Orleans, li which the Louisiana rurchase'transfei reremonles took place Louisiana's state building. Ohio has a clubhouse of highly ornate design. In the architec ture of the French renaissance. Illi nois is prominent with a most pre tentious structure, with wide verandas and a commanding cupola. A description of each of the state buildings, with any detail, would more than fill a newspaper page. It is only possible here to hint at some of the interesting structures. California, for instance, has reproduced in exact size the famous old La Rabida Mission. Connecticut presents a replica of the Sigourney residence at Hartford, home of the poetess Lydia Iluntiey Sigour ney In her time. This building is said to be the finest specimen of purelj colonial architecture now standing. The New Kentucky Home, from the Blue Grass State, is a handsome club house that would make some of the mansions along Fifth avenue. New York city, look insignificant Beauvoir, the quaint old house which Jef ferson Davis owned and occupied for many years, is reproduced by Missis sippi. Its wide verandas or galleries give It a most inviting appearance. Washington's headquarters at Morris town, N. J., are reproduced by New Jersey. Virginia contributes Monti cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. The state of Washington contributes a structure of unique design. It is called the Wigwam, five stories high, built of wood from Washington forests. The building is octagonal, with gigantic diagonal timbers rising from the ground and meeting in an apex ninety feet in the air, above which is built an observatory, from which a splendid view of the Exposi tion may be had. An elevator wil carry visitors to the observatory. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ar kansas, Colorado, West Virginia, In diana, Wisconsin, Texas and many other states are represented by build ings which cannot fail to arouse adniration. The Texas building is In the shape of a five pointed star, an appropriata idea for the big Lone Star State. Iowa has a magnifies mansion, with classic porticoes and a central tower containing an obserya tory chamber. Kansas, Indian Terri tory and Oklahoma each uphold the rowing reputation of the southwest for enterprise and fertility of re sources. - As It la Said. Hoax Do you know that thin fellow over there?

Theodore Roosevelt g

O A STUDY OF THE MAN - "He has meant every word he said and the people have believed every word he said, and with him this convention agrees because every word has been sound Republican doctrine." When Chairman Root uttered these words at the opening of the Chicago convention he included and suggested many of the facts that nominated Theodore Roosevelt for president long before the delegates met at Chicago to hold a national convention. "He has meant every word he said." This one quality has characterized the utterances of Theodore Roosevelt ever since he first entered public life, and that was years ago, for the ink was scarcely dry on his college diploma until he had been given preferment by his fellow citizens. And it is reason able to suppose that this knowledge of the man was one of the things that contributed to his success at the outset. The people knew that they could safely depend upon him. He would not deceive them. The individual and the world like a man when they know they can "put a finger on him." Given this one quality and there are others" of a similar nature that go to make the desirable friend, the trustworthy business man, the useful citizen, the competent office-holder, and the foundation stone of a useful career has been deeply laid. But let a man lack this one quality and there is no other no combination of other qualities to serve as a satisfactory substitute for it. For this includes strength and the determination to use this strength. Still more, it means determination to use this strength for the right, for otherwise, however lofty his purposes, he could not be depended upon to crystallize them into achievement. "The reople have believed every word he said, " continues the chairman of the convention. Why? Because they have come to know him. They not only believe but they feel that he is sincere. And they naturally and reasonably warm to such a man. Again, however, we have something added to sincerity, for a man may be sincere and still be misled. But Theodore Roosevelt is not a theorist or a visionaire. His aims are lofty, he has high ideals, but he lives as far from cloudland as any man that has ever been in public life. This suggests another quality that makes Theodore Roosevelt a rare man. For ages there has been a perceptible distinction between the thinker and the doer. Plato 'and Socrates were thinkers and the world has their thought today; but Pericles both thought and did things, and however we may revel in the sublime realms of Plato and Socrates, it was Pericles who contributed to the glory of Athens that which chiefly appeals to us today. We suspect that a Bismarck appeals more to the average human being than a Gladstone, the one was a man of deeds, the other an orator. But Theodore Roosevelt combines the two qualities, that of the thinker as well as that of the man of action. He writes an essay on "American Ideals' in which he treats of the things , vital to a great republic. Here be Is the thinker; but civilization has been waiting for a century for the Panama canal, and he makes that great world highway a possibility. Thomas Jeffer son wrote well and reasoned about the rights of man, and set down abstractions with a wonderful clearness, but he bought Louisiana Territory, and he will be remembered in history chiefly because of this one thing that he did in opposition to the theories set dowu in his abstractions. This suggests another distinguishing trait in Theodore Roosevelt, because he is not required to violate his own theories in order to record achievements. His public acts are in accordance with his published principles and the country approves and applauds because the people feel that both his theories and his deeds will withstand the test of actual experience. This is why Chairman Root was able to add the third element in the sentence quoted at the beginning of this article "with him this convention agrees because every word has been sound Republican doctrine." And this suggests a striking analogy between the life of this man and the life of this party that has just placed him in nomination for an office the highest that the world has to bestow. The Republican party cane Into existence half a century ago be cause the times then demanded a party not only with high ideals, but also with the ability to accomplish what It set out to do. There were other parties then animated by the subllmest of purposes, but their methods were impracticable. Out of these conations sprang this party, not only moved by the loftiest spirit, but also with a genius for management. It began at once to record achievement. And so this man began at the outset to do as well as to dream. To this day he has been a man of deeds as well as words, and that is why he was long ago nominated by the people; It Is the reason this nomination was ratified at Chicago the other day, and it is the one thing most of all that will cause the people to approve both the nomination and the ratification at the polls next November. Had William J. Bryan been elected president, eren the men who today are reorganizen would hare looked upon him as a great leader, yet everybody knows that his election was made an impossibility by the administration of Crover Cleveland.

AN INTERESTING CAREER

Republican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Adds Strength to the Ticket. The strong ticket named by the Re publicans of Indiana at their recent state convention was strengthened by the nomination for Lieutenant Gover nor of Hugh Th. Miller of Columbus, Ind. Mr. Miller, in all the varied phases of his activity, as farmer, student, college professor, minister, editor, business man and legislator, has given evidence of the possession of qualities which equip him for a career of very great usefulness to the people of Indiana. Hugh Miller comes of old Indiana stock. His father, John Chapman Miller, was a farmer, minister and college professor. His grandfather, John Smith Miller, entered the H. T. MILLER. first land taken up in Nlnevah township, Johnson county. On this farm Mr. Miller worked as a boy, and ha still manages the ancestral acres. From the farm he entered Butler University, from which institution he graduated in 1888, winning honors in every department. "Hugh Miller," says the Butler Collegian, "was one of the most brilliant students ever graduated from the college, and for versatility he probably has not been equalled by any student here in the last twenty years." After graduating he spent a year at home, devoting a part of his time to the ministry of the 'Christian church. In 1889 he began a ten-years' period of service, first as an instructor, later as a professor in his alma mater, leaving behind him in the Institution when he left it to enter business five years ago, a deep Impress on the college and those who as students and teachers had been associated with him. it is not surprising that he should have been favorably mentioned for the presidency of the institution when a vacancy occurred some time ago, and that a movement for his election thereto was stopped only by his intervention. After his retirement from college work Mr. Miller incidentally served for two years as editor of the journal of his college fraternity, "The Scroll," of Phi Delta Theta, and placed it in the very front rank of publications of this character. The Butler Collegian says of Mr. Miller, that "while a student of prodigious ability, he has never been a book man or grind; he is an all-around man of the best type. His college and old friends are proud of his recent success, but they know he will justify all their hopes for him that is why every Butler man was lined up for Hugh Miller. He will do honor to his friends and his state if elected, for he is fearless, eminently capable, thorough and incorruptible the sort of man most needed in the administration of our public affairs."

44 1 am well now and enjoying better health, than ever before in my whole life." That is the statement of a woman who had never been well until she was made well by the use of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. There are a great many other women in like case. They have always been sufferers from ulsease. They have rrever known the joy of perfect health. For all such women Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription holds out the prospect of perfect and permanent health, by the cure of the womanly diseases which weaken women. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. "It frives me pleasure to let 3'oa know of the preat leneSt received from Dr. Pierce's medicines and the advice which you so kindly sent," writes Mrs. Bertie Tarker, of Bonham. Fannin Co.. Texas. I took vour 'Favorite Prescription ' Golden Medicariiscovery and Tleasant Tellets,' and followed yonr advice regarding the 'Lotion Tablets,' and am cured. I had len treated by different doctors and spent one hundred dollars for treatment and medicine, but received very little relief. I have only Fpent seventeen dollars and fifty cents for your medicine and it has cured me in three or four months of ulceration and falling of uterus. I suffered severe misery in my back, also irregular periods. Had bearingr-down in lower portion of bodv and great pain all through my txxiv. Pain in uterus was very severe. Had smothering spells, breath was very short all the time, had pain in stomach, pain in my thighs, pain in breast, also between my shoulders. Bowels constipated. I am well now and enjoying better health than ever before in tny whole life. Am happy to tell you that I was cured by your good advice and good medicines, the Favorite Prescription,' 'Golden Medical Discovery,' 'Pleasant Pellets and 'IvOtion Tablets.' These medicines cured me and will cure others also. The dealer who offers a substitute for " Favorite Prescription " does so to gain the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines. His profit is your loss, therefore accept no substitute. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate the bowels.
