FIRE DESTROYS WICKIZER HOME

RESIDENCE OF PROPRIETOR OF NURSERIES IS REDUCED TO ASHES BY EARLY MORNING BLAZE----LOSS IS $2000. The residence of James Wickizer, proprietor of the Wickizer nurseries, two miles south of this city, was completely destroyed by fire early Monday morning. The family barely escaped with their lives, and but little of the property was saved from the flames. There was no insurance and the loss will easily reach $2000. At about 9:00 o'clock Sunday evening, the family noticed smoke issuing from the summer kitchen, a room adjoining the rear of the house. Upon investigation the interior of the room was found to be afire. The family seized buckets, and in a few minutes had the fire extinguished. They then retired for the night. At about 2:00 o'clock Monday morning, Mrs. Wickizer awoke and found the whole house to be aflame. Screaming she ran from one room to another, until she had her whole family, including a son-in-law, Thomas Lovell, aroused. The frightened children fought their way through the flames, and gained the open air. An attempt was made to rescue some of the furniture. An organ and a few smaller pieces was all that was saved from the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown to Mr. Wickizer. It is probable that the early fire in the summer kitchen was not completely extinguished. DELIVERS STREET ADDRESS. President of Purity Farm in Oklahoma, Speaks on Street Tuesday Morning. Chas. A. Mitchell, president of the Stella Purity Farm, at Cherokee, Okla., was in this city Tuesday enroute to his home from Winona lake, where he (lias been lecturiirg. He spoke on 4Oui Greatest Evil," and some of his thoughts deserve careful consideration. He isaid in part: Our greatest evil is impurity, largely due to a false modesty that prevents teaching the Most sacred and important truths to the young. Eighty per cent, od the "born blind" and 20 per cent, of all blindness, result from fathers sowing "wild oats SO per cent, of young men reaching 30 years of age have sown "wild oats" so as to taint their system. 50 per cent, of women at tended in hospitals for special diseases are victims of "wild oat" husbands. First cousins marrying often result in mutes, blind and idiots. 100 girls a day enter a life of shame. Divorces are rapidly increasing. Unhappy marriages result in afflicted children. Insanity has increased 100 er cent., ami crime 500 per cent., in 50 years. Multitudes of gir'j marry men-who never should be allowed to marry. In fact, no girl should marry a man w2io cannot show a clean bill ot health. Boys go through CoJlege and University, without a word said to them ab:ut the most important and vital furctions. Fifteen years ago a doctor who undertook to discuss thus question! in a convention, was hissed down. Casper Richeyi Reunion., The Casper and Rlcney families held their annual rcinion at the residence of Samuel Casper, seven and one half miles northeast of this city Sunday.

INDIANA PRIESTS' MECCA.

Preparations for Eucharistie Congress Being; Made at Assembly in South Bend. The conference of the Priests' Eucharistie League will be held at Notre Dame University next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Over 300 priests from all parts of the country will be present and make preparations for the Eucharistie Congress to be heM in the United States in 1909 or 1910. As Notre Dame offers the best facilities for this big meeting, it will undoubtedly be held there. There are accommodations for 400 visitors at the university and as many more can be taken care of n the city. Forty masses can also be said at one time from the many altars erected at t'.ve great Catholic center. The confra ternity, established by Father Eymard, numbers 40,000 members. Three cardinals, sixty bishops and ten ruling dioceses have appended their sigl natures to the memebrship list. The address of welcome at the conference of this week will be delivered by; Rev. John Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame. Among the speakers will be the Rev. A. B. X'Xeill of the Ave Maria staff, the Rev. Joseph Sellinger of Jefferson, Mo., and the Rev. George Tragessor of Emmittslburg, Md. FAKIR GETS MANY SHEKELS FOUNTAIN PEN GRAFTER IN TIME WORN GAME GLEANS MANY DOLLARS FROM PLYMOUTH EASY MARKS MONDAY EVENING. "Be generous wit meh, and I'll show y.i tnat I'll be generus wi' chew, my word is uz good v.i r .h bond. Ah don't want to do bigness, wit stingy peeple, buy one ol th?-c fountain j.ens, for one dailah, .ind Al'll ;r..:nise yew, yew won't be sorry, :i-.v who'll take the next oü fir a dallah?" Anvwry he was a good "spoiler." He raked in the shekels to the amount of about 23 "dallahs," on the old, old graft, of keeping the suckers in the belief that they would get their money back. He talked from a bugy on the corner of Michigan ' and Garro streets; Mooiday evening. He was fat and shiney, and got the suckers in good humor by telling them he drank $2 worth ot booze per day, and played stud poker by night. When he opened his sale of fountain pens, he pulled from Iiis pocket a roll of bills, and cotunted off twenty-five ones. He told the crowd tüiat he was going to show them something. The first twenty-five men that bought a pen for one dollar, would not regret it, for just a matter of identification he woiuld vrite his initials on the first twenty-five boxes. Of course they sold like "hot cakes." Each dollar received for a fountain pen, (he wrapped with one of the twenty-five taken from his pocket and deposited, in his hat. In this way about 23 pens at $1 per were sold. The fakir then as.ked the suckers if he had promised them anything. One said "no." But he toJd them he would make them glad they spent, and so gave each sucker a "souvenir" spoon. One easy mark had invested for four pens, another said he had two sisters, and he took two. The pen and souvenir spoon was worth- about 13 cents. Figuring oai that basis, 23 times 15 cent? equals $3.45, total cost to speiler. $23 minus $3.45, equals $19.55 total profit to speiler. V2 are awfully sorry. FOR SAME DANCE IN ALL LANDS. Fourteen Nations Arc Represented at Masters Congress in Berlin. The first international congress of dincing masters Called by the German National Association of Dancing Proifesrs was begun at Berlin today. Among the score af American delegates are Roderick C. Grant of New York, representing the American National Dancing Masters' Association, and F. W. Kehl of Madison, Vis.t representing the Western Dane ing Masters Association.

AUTOMOBILES IN COLLISION

C. W. METSKER RUNS MACHINE INTO R. A. RANDALL'S CAR BADLY DEMOLISHING THE LAT-TER----DAMAGE ABOUT $200. In celebration of Henry A. Barnhart's wonderful victory at the Democatic convention Thursday, C. W. Metsker, editor of the Plymouth Democrat, jumped into the driver's seat of his Buick automobile, chased the same around town at a breakneck speed that evening and did not stop until he had run into Superintendent Randall's new Lambert, and ruined the latter machine, and now the diminutive editor is planning another "beauty contest" to help him raise the 200 bones which the damage will amount to. At about 7:30 Thursday evening, Prof. Randall with his wife beside him, and Mrs. Wm. Everly on the rumble seat of his Lambert runabout, were running south on Plum street at a moderate speed. They were bound for the Bair farm and intended turning west on Garro street. Behind them, and unknown to the persons in the Lambert auto, came C. W. Metsker driving his Buick. Without using a child's judgment in reference to possible turn outs, stops, etc., the editor closed up behind Mr. Randall. When the latter turned west, the Buick machine struck the Lambert squarely in the middle. The projecting springs protected the Buick but wrought havoc with Mr. Randall's machine. Instead of shutting off the power, and applying the brake Mr. Metsker got the "buck fever" and threw up his hands and prepared to leap for safety. The offending machine pushed the Lambert clear across the street, until the curb was struck, when the damage was done. This tore three of the wheels from Mr. Randall's car, sprung the rear axle, ruined all of the tires, and badly dented and scarred the body. Prof. Randall is somewhat piqued over the accident, and says the damage will be about $200. MACK NAMED LEADER OF BRYAN CAMPAIGN. New 'York Publisher Selected Chairman of National Committed Norman E. Mack of Buffalo was chosen chairman of the Democratic national committee Saturday evening after long distance telephone conversations between the Auditorium Annex committee-room and the headquarters of Chatles W. Murphy and William J. (Fingy) Conners, in New York and Buffalo, and they had placed the official sanction of the Empire state leaders on the New York committeeman. The choosing of the chairman entailed a 'ong and heated verbal conflict among the dozen national committeeman Composing tlvci subcommittee, who gathered in the rooms of former Chairman Taggart. During the discussions William Jennings Bryan amt john W. Kern, his running mate, sat aloof and ventured few suggestions or admonitions to the perturbed leaders. When the important post had been allotted the tired leaders made short work of the naming of the other members of the national cor.iittee, as enumerated above. It was decided to postpone the naming of the various -uocommittees to a later date and the announcement of their membership will be made from Buffalo within a short time. - At the close of the session Secretary Woodson said that the site of the Chicago headquarters had not been determined. The parlor floor of the Sherman house was the one place viewed most favorably by the subcommittee named to choose a site. The building in Washington street formerly occupied by the Chicago Chronicle also was proffered to the committee. . Two other sites are under observation.

Fulton County Editor is

for Congressman Marshall Delivers Address Harry E. Grube For Senator

Tiie Democratic congressional convention of the Thirteenth district, was held in the yard uf the old Thayer mansion in this -city Thursday afternoon. Henry A. Barnhart of Fulton county, editor of the Rochester Senrinel, -was given the nomination unanimously. After the convention, Thomas R.Marsfrall of Columbia City.Democratic candidate for governor addressed "the convention and evoked the only enthusiasm that vas ipanifested throughout the .who'e simple affair., ' The convention was called to order at 1:43 p. m. by District cha-.rman S. N. Stevens. After a few remarks by Mr. Stevens the call for the meeting was read by Secretary Jolin R.' Jones. In the call, rhe apportionment of delegates run as forlohvs: Elkhart 20 Fulton 11 Kosciusko 15 Marshall 14 Pulaski 8 St. Joseph 30 . ,v Srarkc C Total 104 It was then moved and carried that the delegations- from the various counties retire and select a chairman for its deleg'atkm. 'Upon toU call by the secretary, the: foBlownp name wer announced: Elkhart, A. R. Gildea Fulton, Fdtz Montgomery KosciusJvO, Henry T. Kline Marshall, C. W. Metsker Pulaski, Joihn Anstis St. Joseph; W. A. Mclnerny Starke, B. D. L. Glazenibrook For permanent chairman S. N.' Stevens w4s retainkidi, yind 'Rober. Proctor of Elkhart county, ws made permanent secretary. Chairman Stevens thanked the convention for the honor bestowed uponhimselL. , " At this point a Glee Club from Rochester, composed of eight voices and a gii'tar, amused the crowd for a few minutes. An original ballad entAsd "Get aboard the Democrat ship" was rendered, in which tributes were paid to; Barnhart and Judge Bernetha s Rochester, Thomas Marshall, and Wm. J. Bryan. The members of the club wer dressed in ducks, and straw hats .and made quite a hit, being called back for encore. C. W. Metsker of Plymoftith, moved that the convention proceed with nomination. Motion carried and the roll was called. In a clean cut, and well delivered speech, Fitz Montgomery of Fulton county, presented the name of Henry Barnhart. This nomination was seconded by each of th other counties. Mr. Glazcbrook of Starke county said that they had a candidate who could carry the district, tihat man was Andrew J. Bunnell, but for the sake of harmony, his name was suppressed in favor ol Henry Barnhart. After the nomination was made unaimoius it was discovered that whether the nomination was for the long, or short term, or both, had not been designated. Thereupon it was moved and carried unanimously that Henry A. Barnhart be the Democratic nominee for both the long and short terms in congress. Giairman Stevens then introduced Mr. Barnhart, who delivered a short speech of acceptance, thanking the convention for the nomination and promising toi do all in his power toward carrying (the 13th District for Democrats. Thomas R. Marshall, of Columbia City, Democratic candidate for governor, then took the stand and carried awtay the crowd wltn a rousing Democratic speech. Address of Thomas Marshall. The address of the day was made by Thomns R. Marshall, of Columbia City, candidate for governor. Mr. Marshall is an excellent speaker, and from a Democratic standpoint madc a great speech. He gets nearer to the people and s-hlarpens up hns address with more witty remarks and dagger thrusts than docs Mr. Shively, and ranks well with Mr. Shively as an orator. Mr. Marshall attacked the trusts, but not the men who make them. He said that any man who had the opportunities would do just as the trust magnates are doing. They GERMAN CAR FIRST INTO PARIS. Completes tho Round the World Tour. The German automobile in the New York to Paris race arrived at Paris Sunda- evening and was greet, ed with loud cheers oy the Sunday pronienadors as it swept up the crowded boulevards to the finishing I post escorted by a large number of automobiles.

the Unanimous Choice

were upheld and fostered by a sys tcni'thht was permitted by the party in power. It wias the system that he attacked. He saw no relief from the present system without a change of the pOiltay of the rulers of the coun try. He sa-id the Democratic party was opposed to the present system that allowed corporation wealth and had built up an ol:garchy system of government. He demanded a change 4-hat should pas:s the control oi wealth out of the hands of a few He believed the Democratic party stood for the rights and recognition of the people, and it was upon this line of political belief that he was standing before the people as the candidate of his party. Jle would serve the state in the interests of the people, if elected, as this was Democratic principle and Democratic doctrine. The people would not get rid of that sysltem until it get rid of the present tariff. "There are no kings in America," said Mr. Marsha "except' tht uncrowned king whose picture stands before us today," (pointing to the picture of Bryan.) Mr. Marshall's address was one of the old time speeches that raised the hair on Democratic heads, ar(l set them for the fime being in the bandwagon. 1 Senatorial Convention. After the congressional convention wasi started, the delegates to the joint senatorial convention between Kosciusko and Marshall counties met on the south side of the yard. John R. Jones chairman of Marshall coun. ty, wasi seected permanent chairman. Upon roll call Kosciusko! county prepensed the name of John Nussbaum for jont senator. E. C Mar tindale of Plymouth then addressed the meetHjg, saying that never since the present senatorial district has existed, has Marshall county been allowed a Democratic candidate for senator. Each time the prize was taken by Kosciusko because that county had 13 votes to 14 from Marshall. He stated farther that Marshall county had a candidate who had been in the field and made good, ht would poll all of the Democratic votes in Marshall county and also part of the Republican votes, the name of Harry E. Grube was presented. The counties retired to ballot. About twenty-five minutes were thu consumed, there being a split in thfe Kosciuskoi delegation. Finally, however, a Kostfirsko delegate moved to make fhe nomination of HaTry Grube unanimous, said motion carried. NOTES. The lack of interest in the Demo, cratic congressional convention was plainly noticeable. Although fiv bands of musl'c were present, therewas not one third the amount of boomers in town Thursday that there was on Republican convention day. The bands present were, Elbel's from South Bend, Rodgers from Goshen, Citizens' from Rochester, Etna Green and Plymouth. Elbel's band brought twenty musicians and a drum majox. This band along with Rodgers, rendered excellent music, wtiich was greatly appreciated by all. When the parade formed to inarch to the convention grounds, Efbels and Rodgers' bands combined, as also did the Plymouth and Etna Green organizations. , A crowd of about two hundred arrived on the 11:19 Vandalta from th north. These were boomers from St. Joseph and FJkhart counties, but as they did not have much to boom, their enthusiasm run somewhat low. Against this there were over five hundred froim the same territory, in attendance to the Republicanconvention. It is remarkable with what ease the Looms of W. A. Mclnerny of St. Joseph, and A. J. Bunnell of Star-ke counties, were "squelched" for the sake of harmony. The Glee Club in their song said Bryan wotuild have his glory on Nov. 2nd. Perhaps they meant Nov. 3rd, or were they only fooling? Now for . a nice quiet snooze, Plymouth has been quite a center for conventions in the past few weeks, and the strenuous life is apt to be reactionary." , CENTRAL AMERICA WAR IS ON?

DEADLY FIGHT AGAINST BINGHAM BREWERS OF THE STATE IN CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ANNOUNCE THEY ARE OPPOSED TO THE METHODS OF THE ATTY, GENERAL We stand for the liberty of t!h citizen. Ihere should be no law on the statute books whidh dictates what a man should eat or drink, when he should sleep, or how rre should spend the Sabbath. The crusade which the attorney general's office is making against the sale of non-intoxicating l?quors in effect robs? the citizen of his rights and privileges. It would be to the interest of those who stand for personal liberty and fair play to assi-t in bringing about the defeat of Bingham for attorney general."--Campaign ut.erance of brewers. In ihe desperate fight which the brev ers are making to carry Indiana one of the principal targets is Attor ney General Bingham, says Louis Ludlow in the Indianapolis Star. The circular just quoted mad its ap pearance Friday. It is the first shot of the brewery1 combine at the at torney general, and it is another link in the long chain of evidence wthich shows that the brewers are laboring with might and main to control the politics of Indiana this year. As the law officer of the present state 'administration Mr. Bingham has pursued a course that is very dis pleasing to the brewers. They are anxious that he shall not serve as the law officer of the next administration He would be in their way. The reports that come to the In diana Anti-Saloon league as to the activity of tihe brewers tally with the reports from other reliable sources. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the league, said: "Reliable information, which comes to us from various sources shows that the brewers have the most com plete organization throughout the entire state that they have ever effect ed for the purpose of saddling the liquor business upon an unwilling public. In our judgment, the brewers are putting forth extraordinary efforts to elect a house of representa tives a majority of wfibse members will be the tools of the. liquor inter ests of the state. "I see that Mrs. Mary Stnbbs Moore, state statistician, has learned that 991 saloon keepers in the state were bonded by brewers and their agents within a period of six months. I happen to know that in the city of Terre Haute, from w,hich she was un able to obtain information, 104 out of the 227 saloonsi are bondea by officers and employes of a certain brew ery company." When asked as to; the atiitude of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League in this campaign, Mr. Shuriaker. emphatically denied that it s affiliated with any party but asserted that. 's purpose is to indorse cpndidates and not parties. The league's position was outlined by Mr. Shumaker as follows: "Mr. Watson has diclared in favor of a county local opttön law. If Mr. Marshall shall do 'he same thing then the league will ertainly express no choice or preference of candidates for governor. Ttve sime will be tr,ue as to the candidates for lieutenant governor if both d clare that' they are in favor of the county local op tion law. The league will hold unalterably to the sam; course, man for man, in the differert parties who are candidates for th senate or the house. If both canlidates arc in favor of a county loc;l option law thten the league will be neutral. If one candidate is favorable while the other is opposed then the league's duty in the premises will b clear." Uuder this rule, :s laid down by Mr. Shumaker, it i? probable that nearly all of the Rrpublican candidates on the state and "leg'slativt tickets will be. indorjsd by the league because they stand Jor county local

option. I
