Mr. Hayes is an excellent lawyer, of good character, and has üad thirty years experience as an attorney. While former Governor Hogg has come out for Roosevelt, it is hardly possible that he can turn Texas oer, as he intimates. Indianapolis democrats are beginning to believe that Thomas Taggart's celebrated smile and glad hand are less effective in influencing Eastern capitalists to make big camptign contributions than they were in winning Degroes to vote the democratic ticket jn'Indianapolis. The announcement cjmes from Chicago that so many small packers are sending meat to the wholesalers, the big fellows who, it will be observed, continue ti have the strike win are not necessary to the business. If there is a real foundation for this assertion, the big ones, however, may find that a peace arrangement will soon be advisable. Otllcials of the German embassy in Washington, following a report from the German military attache who who escaped from Port Arthur, state that the condition of the besieged garrison is very bad. Eour thousand men are in the hospitals, and the file battle ships which lie under the Japanese guns are all in a damaged condition. The Russian cruiser Novik, the the fastest protected cruiser in the tforld, fleeing toward Vladivostok after the disastrous battle m which the Port Arthur squadron was defeated and scattered, has been destroyed. After a two days engagement with the Japanese cruisers Chitote and Tsushima the Nvik was beached in a sinking condition in the Harbor of Korsakovsk. In discussing the saloon organization which hopes by the help of the prohibition party to control the next legislature and repesl the Nicholson law the Indianapolis News, an independent paper, says: The introduction of secret society methods to ride rough shod over restraint regardless of all other - considerations ought to make a point of departure for every good citizen irrespective of politics. He ought to see that his party candidate can be trusted not to obey the behests of the saloon organization. Unless there is this rally there is danger of this organized and solidified interest sweeping the state bare of defense against the traffic that is confessedly in need of more restraint than it gets.

That long-looked for spectacular performance on the nose of a narrow neck of land in Manchuria, the fall of Port Arthur, has been again postponed for reasons that are not clearly explained. The late horrible lvncbing in South Carolina, in which two negroes about tobe hung forcriue were taken from the officers and lynched, goes to prove that the law's delay is not always the reason for lynching, but that pure vengeance is also a motive.

With each add'tional report from Port Aithur wonder increases, both at the persistence of the Japanese attack and the heroic stubbornness of the defenders. The Japanese are literally throwing away thousands of lives in the hope of shaking the courage of the Russian troops. The Chicago Tribune has taken a "straw vote" in thebigcity by means of special canvassers and finds the result of interviewing 10, 988 men as to their choice for president this fall as follows: Roosevelt, republican, 6,504; Parker, democrat, 3,789; Debs, socialist, 548; Swallow, prohibition, 147. It is the opinion of some of the great diplomats that Russia Is sroing to involre China in the Russia Japanese war in order to force the powers to interfere and put an end to all hostilities. This would be an easy way for the bear to let go and still claim to generations of Russians yet unborn that if outsiders had not interfered the Japs would have been wiped off the face of the earth. The Uni:ed States is the only great nation in the world that spends more for education than for war: and the chief concern of the thoughtful today is not respecting-the one per cent who attend college and universities, but with regard to the 99 per cent who attend our public schools; for these will rule, and to have good laws we must have good citizens: and it is futile to base our common school system in college or university training. A bit of unwritten history has just been brought to light. It is no less a l.ict than that Senator Fairbanks, at the beginning of the war with Spain, tendered his services to Governor Mount. The latter respectfully declined the tender for the expressed reason that Fairbanks "could render his country a greater service in the senate halls than at the front during the Spanish-American war." Tje New YorK World continues to harp on the misfortune of the democratic party in having at the head of the national committee a man of the caliber of Tom Taggart. The World contends that Tom's grasp of national questions and issues is not such as to make him a capable director of a political campaign for the countr, at large and that the misfit is so glarinsr as to have a depressing effect on party workers generally. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, has been officially notified of his nomination for president as the candidate of populist party, 'in his speech accepting the nomination he said: "It seems to me to be the mart amazing piece of effrontery for the democratic party to go before the American people and proclaim that for eight years they have been wrong and the republicans have been right and at the same time demand that the crowd which has been wrong shall be put in the places of those who have been right. It would indeed be a miracle if any such thing would bappen, and so far as I am concerned I do not believe it will happen." The latest attack on Port Arthur, which was carried on by the Japanese for seven hours with great fury on Sunday, has failed, according to the reports from Chefoo. In spite of the heavy Japanese fire, the Russians are said to have silenced the attacking batteries, which were not supported by the fleet. Russia still holds Louisa Bay, according to the latest reports, and the spirits of the Muscovites have risen accordingly. In view of the Japanese having sent large detachments south to re-enforce the army engaged in the assault on Port Arthur, General Kouropatkin, who now has 140,000 men at his disposal, will take the earliest opportunity of engaging the Japanese. In case he is unsuccessful all necessary preparations will be made for a retreat to Harbin. If victorious he will forthwith proceed to the relief of Pert Arthur, which, it is said, can resist for two months.

The democrats of this district intend to force B. F. Shively to take the nomination for congress.

Mr. Davis led the german at White Sulphur Springs last Thursday evening. Nevertheless when it comes to leading the political dance things will be otherwise than on the waxed floor. Experts place the total damage to the wheat crop at 143,000,000 bushels in the United States and Manitoba. This is a cue in prc.io'i fijuies. ana the yield in lhc United States is estimated at 533,000,000 bushels. General Wilmon W. Blackmar of Boston was selected commander in cnief of the G. A. it. in the closing session of the Grand Army encampment in Boston. The encampment next year is to meet in Denver. The latest reports received here indicate that the assault on Port Arthur Is still raging and that there has been no intermission of consequence since the latest desperate attack by the Japanese began last Saturday. Bishop McCabe of the Methodist church declares the time has arrived for the whole Christian world to compel Turkey to grant religious liberty to the Armenians, and says he would favor the use of war ships if necessary. 'Touching the trusts" is a favoiite opening for the democratic statesmen when they tell of the election of Parker. But Mr. Taggart feels to believe that the question Im touching the trusts .ias been committed to his care and keeping. The Vermont election will be held September 6, and the Maine election September 12. Democrats have no hope of carrying eitaer state, but they are spending lots of good money trying to keep the republican majorities from being larger than usual. Another shooting affray that probably will cost a life marked the progress of the stockyards strike Tueday and in addition the second killing of the long struggle was recorded in the death of one of the men who was wounded in the train riot of last Sat urday evening. Uncle Henry Gassoway Davis at tended a dance at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia Friday and lead the German. Saturday Parker opened the campaign at Esopus by entertaining some siik-stjcking democratic club members of Gotham. Verily, gaity and strenuouslty have commenced in the democratic camp. Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna shows her devotion to her husband's memory by contributing a clean $10,000 to the republican campaign fund. Mr. Hanna was not only a liberal contributor of money to the cause but be gave his great talents and much of his time to the advancement of republican interests. The South Bend News says ,4B. F. Shively will be the democratic nominee for congress. Tbe thirteenth district convention, which meets at South Bend Sept. 1, will surely name the South Bend man unless present democratic plans receive a big shaking up before that date," and the News also claims it has inside information upon which to base to its prediction. J. Frank Hanly, the republican candidate for governor of Indiana, has made a thorough canvass of the state, and though not yet having made a political speech, his visits being mainly to Chautauqua, old settlers' meetings, or miscellaneous gatherings, he has been feeling of the public sentiment to a considerable degree and finds it largely favorable to the republicans. James Reach, the chairman of the Indianapolis democratic committee, says he is now convinced that he spent a great deal more money than was necessary to elect John W. Holtzman mayor of Indianapolis, ne says: "The efficacy of money in a campaign is amazingly over-rated. Give me a good cause and strong candidates to go oefore the people, and the size of the opposition's campaign fund will have no terror for me. That there are corrupt and purchasable voters is unfortunately only too true, but that a popular verdict can be obtained by purchase outright I emphatically deny. . The real truth is that when a party goes before the country with a just cause and the right sort of candidates there is no trouble about raisins' a campaign fund, sufficient for all legitimate purposes, and without much efiort."

It is a little embarrassing for Chairman Taggart to have to ezplain that the corporations and trusts are in favor of Parker and Kern.

The Indianapolis News says that Judge Parker did not want his party to nominate him without knowing exactly where he stood. It is nevertheless true that he waited until his party nominated him before he spoke. Great Britian. it is said, would pre fer that the United States take the initiative in maintaining the neutrality of China. Well, one can't blame her; but, still, pulling chestnuts out of the fire isn't a very amusing pastime even for us. The Gght of the prohibition party and the liquor dealers against the Nicholson law will hate considerable bearing in the legislative contents this year. The better element of both the democratic and republican voters do not want the Nicholson law touched. Of course, it is all right for General Stoessel to declare as is reported that "Port Arthur will be my tomb" if he prefers that eventuality; but how about the other fellows that are with him who, in the necessary anonymity of masses, will scarcely obtain a large enough share of the glory to make them want to give up whatjhttle good in life they have? Don't they, even in the exigencies of war, deserve some consideration? The Providence Journal lately paid a high tribute to the utterance of the chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who declared that ir was a principle of that order not to object to any man's working. The Journal declares that the only reasonable position for unions and brother hoods to assume. The B. of L. E. makes an effort to bring into its membership all of that calling but it never assumes to compel nor to interfere with any man's right to work. All unions must eventually come to that position or they will forever fail. Elkhart Review. Ü MORTUrW La Joseph L. Walterhousc. Joseph L. Walterhouse died at his home in Polk township Friday, August 19, after a long illness of consumption. He was 50 ye?-s and 4 months old, was an excellent citizen and had been a resident of Polk township nineteen years. He leaves a widow, two sons and three daughters to mourn his death. Funeral services were held at Blissvllle Sunday at 10:30 a. m. conducted by Rev. Mr, Kline of Donaldson. GENERAL NEWS ITEAS. And now Dr. Dowie claims the credit for the refreshing rains as answers to his prayerful requests. The question is did the "overseer" include the destructive winds in the requisition? The unfavorable reports about wheat have sent up its price, and that of flour has been advanced as a consequence. Last w eek the price of a barrel of flour was raised 60 cents. Flour costs more now than it has for six years. At Loganspcrc Sunday afternoon, Wesley Whiting shot his sister-in-law Mary Warfield, and beat his wife with tbe hilt of his pistol, because the women scolded him for coming home drunk. Both women are in a critical condition Whiting is under arrest. i Two years ago while on a bicycle trip Roy Wilking, of Lagrange, stopped at a farm bouse in Huntington county for a drink of water. The farmer's daughter gave him a dish of strawberries and the acquaintance thus formed resulted in the marriage of the couple a few days ago. According to the St. Louis World's fair attendance statistics Indiana has sent more people to the exposition than any other state except Missouri, where the fair is located. It was so in Chicago 11 years ago. Aside from Illinois the state that furnished the most people who attended the big Columbian exposition was Indiana. Acreage figures and conditions as announced by the department of ag riculture point to a cotton crop this season of 12.000.000 bales, which is larger than any yield ever gathered thus far. Unfavorable reports from Texas and other points in the past week or two may mean that the total will be brought a little below this figure, but it is likely to be far above the 11,000,000 mark, and thus to be larger than any yield since 1898 and 1899, when the 11,000,000 line was passed.

Two important forts in the defense of Port Arthur Enseshan, or the "Chair Fort," and Talpangtze, both within a mile and a half of the besieged city have been captured by the Japanese, according to reports from Cheefoo. So closely have the Japanese advanced to the last fortifications, say the latest refugees from Port Arthur, that General Stoessel 's residence has been reached by the enemy. If the enemy's guns are planted in these positions, the city has all but fallen. The reports are not burne out through official sources, but in a measure confirm earlier news regarding the latest desperate assault. Etseshan is almost in the center of the chain of forts, of which it forms one, defending Port Arthur, from which it is only about a mile and a half distant. It occupies a commanding position and is possibly only seccud in importance to the Golden Hill forts. lnwood Items. George Ettinger and family spent Sunday with J. R. Schrom.
