JC0 if!)

Indianapolis April 19 It is the

understanding that the coming

campaign will be a busy one from

the standpoint of the stump speak

er. Present indications are that there will be as man' speeches made this year as in any presidential campaign. Both sides say they are preparing to storm the works of th-e other side. Senator Beveridge it is understood, will forego a part of his vacation the coming summer and spend practically all of his time

irr this state, making a speaking

campaign, which will carry him into every county. There is no

man in the country that can stond

more hard work than he can, and

he is going to have a chance to

prove it this year for he is to Ie the bir card of the season in the

Republican fight, it is understood that a number of speakers from outside the state will be brought

in to help in the- Republican cam paign also and that some of them

will ibe insurgent congressmen and senators who will come in and expound the tariff views which- they hold and which Senator Beveridge holds. It is said that Will H. Hays of Sullivan will be the chairman of the Republican speakers bureau during the coming campaign, though it is not definitely -settled yet. Hays was the chairman of the speakers bureau two years ago and four years ago and knows the game like a book. His work in those two campaign won for him great praise because of the excellent manner in which he handled the speaking part of the campaign. He brought in from outside a large number of noted spellbinders, and those together with the Inkliana , Republicans who volunteered to go into the campaign gave Hays a list of speakers the like of which has not been seen in many a day. And he placed them to good advatage throughout the campaign. The Democrats say they will not behind the Republicans in the matter of making a speaker campaign this year. Bert Hendren of Linton has already been selected as the chairman of the De. mocratic speakers, bureau, and i ready to jump in to the job at a moments notice. He is a son of Gilbert Hen'dren of Bloomfield, who has been chairman of the speaker bureau of the Democratic state committee for several campaigns Gil Hendren 'worked like a beaver in this work and Bert, his son says he will do the same. He came to town yesterday for a conference with State Chairman Jackson in regard to campaign arangements ami the two spent some time together. Gilbert H. Hendren is thinking seriously of becoming a candidate for the Democratic nomination for clerk of the supreme

court. There are already two candidates for this place, J. Fred France of Huntington and A. J. Behymer of Elvod. William H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg has announced that he will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for auditor of state. He was state chairman for years and is well know among the Democratics of the state. He was national treasurer of the Democratic national committee when Thomas Taggart was iruion.il chairman.

A mixture of wood 'sJiavings,

with iron oxide, used in the

purifying room at the Gas Plant

located in north Plymouth, caused sufficiet beat to. set the shav

ings afire, which quickly spread

to the rafters and wooden win

dows of the room, completely burning them out, at a loss of

$100 completely covered by in

surance. The mäin building, in

which the illuminating gas is

manufactured was untouched by the tlames. The buildings are of

brick, and fire proof, excepting the wood work in the windows

arrd rafters. The main buildiwr is

completely fire proof. The build

ing was vacant when the fire occurred, and the alarm was given by a neigtiibof. The department was a little slow in reaching the scene because of a misunderstanding of the location of fhc fire. After the department arrived the fire was soon extinguished. As is alwavs the cae at the local gas plant, sufficient gas was manuacttired on Saturday to run over Sunday and the plant was without occupant, since the watchman left at 7:30 -A. M. Manager Wagoner, explained that the cause of the fire was from self ignition caused by the coming together of iron oxide ami wood shavings, used in purifying the gas. The manufacture of gas was not interrupted by the fire. Our April Storm. A hail storm passed over Plymouth Friday evening, but its extent was limited and very little damage was done. This storm was followed by rain Saturday morning and a very heavy rain in the evening. Sunday was cold with drizzling rain in the afternorm, which was followed by snow commencing about ten o'clock in the evening and continuing until two o'clock Monday morning. The temperature was one degree above freezing but roofs -were covered with two inches of snow at daylight. The weather remained cold all day Monday until the wind changed from the south to the northwest and became warmer a peculiarity

of temperature probably never

witnessed in this locality. The weather was warmer Tuesday morning with wind from the north, than it was Monday morning with the wind from the south. Fruit trees were in full bloom and the limbs were weighted down by the snow. The fruit

buds seem to have suffered little

damage, but it is too early yet to determine this.

SUMMER RATES FIXED.

HALE AND ALDRICH QUIT. Veteran Senators from Maine and Rhode Island Will Re

tire Next March.

Washington, D. C. April 11. Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, the man who, next to Senator Aldrich, has -wielJed the greatest power in the control of the United States senate during recent years, is to retire at the end of his present term, next March. This thirty years of continuous service in the senate will be terminated by his voluntary retirement from the fight for reelection, in which the preliminary work already had been well started in Maine. The announcement of Hale's retirement is coincident to the confirmation today by Senator Aldrich that be will quit at the end of his present term. Senator Hale's withdrawal

from the senatorial fight create.

surprise greater even than that w-hich attended tbe first rumors of the retirement of Aldrich.

Bottman property at the north

Lines East of Mississippi River to Give One Fare Excursions

Plus $2 This Season.

At the meeting of passenger

officials representing the railroads ast o'f the Mississippi river, it

was decided to make the same reduced rates for summer tourists excursions this summer as were inaugurated last year. The rates will be in effect from June 1 to September .11,' with a thirty-day return limit, and will be on the basis of a fare and a third, plus $2 for the round trip, which reprcsent a considerable saving

over ti e ordinary charges Last summer's rates were in the nature of experiments to offset competition o'f the western roads which have made low summer rates lor many years. The eastern systems felt at first some hesitancy aoout making any reductions, but the experiment proved so successful in increasing traffic that it was decided to take siilar action this season.

To see that you are properly dressed, correctly fitted in clothes that are right foryouv at a price you are satisfied with, is what we are striving for. We make a business of satisfying our customers. Good quality and big values compose the foundation of everything we sell.

MOST men don't know much about clothes; they go chiefly by looks and price, the most deceptive, be fooled in fabrics; and the price of a suit is high or low according to what the suit is, not what it looks like.

you're safe here is that we sell only high-grade goods,- you can't buy inferiority here; it isn't here. Our cheapest man's suit is $10

but that $10 quality is strictly all-wool, it is the very best to be had; you may go as high as you like here, we've got the clothes. OUR clothing success and continued growth is due to "Value Giving"; to give more for the money than you can get anywhere else. It hasn't been a "low-price" success, for we sell more clothes from $15 to $25 than we do below,- we know that the well-dressed men of Plymouth and Marshall County are willing to pay, for good clothes; they simply want to get what they pay for; they like value for the money. The demand is here, and has been all the time; we supplied it; that's all; you see the result. The

way we supply it makes the demand grow' larger, and we supply that too; we shall keep on growing. 2 2
