REPUBLICANS SEE VICTORY PROSPECTS BRIGHTER AS TIME PASSES FOR THE G. O. P. Hoosiers Will Stand by Progres sive Ideas of Beveridge and Congressional Candidates Indianapolis, Aug. 1G. There is not the slightest room for doubt that the Republican prospeers in Indiana just now are much brighter than they were two or three months ago, and that they are improving all the time. Reports tliat are being received from 11 the counties of the state as a result of the or granizatton meetings which were he-Id last week show this to !be the true condition. In many places where ilocal troubles were in the- wav of success the organ ization parties made mufoh head way Tast week in smoothing mat ters out arid! putting things rn better shape. And when it comes to the main question of whether the Republicans will stand together on national is sues, the reports show that there is much less division now than there was' a. short time ago. It is not to be understood that lall) of the wrinkles have been ironed out of (the situation. There are Republicans in the state, and many of them, whb (believe that the -party would have, been in Ixrtter shape n it had taKen a different -nosition in Indiana on the tariff question. But the best information that can foe obtained shows that this element is in the minority and that In diana is a progressive state in Republican politics. Plan of Democrats. For instance, it has been point ed out at all of tht organization meetrncrs that if the "democrats carry the legislature nex t fal thev will verv like as not carry the control of the entire state for many years. Next 'winter the party if it gets control of the legislature will redistrrct the state in such a way as to assure the Democrats a continual majority of the members of the legislature, at future electrons. 'Not only tliat, but they will rearrange the counties into congressional districts as to make it impossible for the Republicans to ever again elect more than one Republican congressman from Indiana and he will be from the northwest corner of the state. Must Carry Legislature. In order to prevent this plan from being carried out it is necessary for the Republicans to carry the legislature at the coming election. And the big fight will be for the control of the house of representatives, because the senate is so close that the Republicans are not likeiy to have a majority there. As the matter now stands the best they- can hope for in the senate is an even one-half of the members. The Democrats have 14 holdover senators to start with, while the Republicans have only 10. Therefore the hope of the Republican lies in the house and this was made clear at the organization meeting. POSTAL BANKS IN TOWNS Hitchcock Makes Report of His Plans to President Taft. Beverly -Mass., Aug. 11. Postmaster General 'Hitchcock has made a preliminary report to President Taft regarding tfw plans for the institution of postal savings banks in different parts of the country in the near future. The experimental banks will be loca'ted in the smaller cities. Sufficient money to establish the system in cities läke New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other great centers of population fe not yet available. It is hoped that the experimental banks may be fn operation by October 15. "Mr. Hitchcock and the president, it is saiid, also talked generally of the political situation. "I am not the least bit pessimistic over the outlook from a republican point of view," said Mr. Hitchcock after his adieu iwitbj the president. "The president is (growing stronger every day. The magnificence of the legislation he made during the last congress is gradually dawning on the people." July Prosecutions.

DISGRACEFUL

FIGHTS MAR THE SABBATH PHIL HINKLE AND JERRY HIMES USE FISTS AND IRON WEAPONS UPON EACH OTHER. George Barber and Ren Welsh Are Dastardly Principals in a Minor Melee Sunday. Two drunken fights in which Philip Hinklc and Jerry Himes, figured in one and George Barber and Ren Welsh in the other, occurred in and about the soft drink parlor of George Kruyer on N. Michigan st. Sunday. The affair was most disgraceful and the fight between Hinkle and Himes was a bloody one in which Hinkle would probably have killed Himes, had not bystanders in- terferred and dragged the infuriatcd beast from the drunken form of Himes. The fight was the most bloody and revolting affair which has occurred here since the Liberty Cross, Grant Hanes knifing affair. The drunks were plainly "whisky drunks" and went to the Kruyer room after they had become drunk on "drug store" whisky, and were seeking trouble in the place of Kruyer who is endeavoring to run a legitimate business, Himes entered the Kruyer room and with a string of disgraceful oaths, opined that he was about to run the place. Hinkle, who was in charge of the place, objected with a well directed blow from a water pitcher on the head of Himes, whom he then threw from the establishment. Himes went to the livery barn where he is employed and secured a large horse shoers file, with which he returned and made for Hinkle. Bystanders say that he struck Hinkle a glancing blow on the head. Hinkle, who is a powerful man, was soon on Himes, raining blow after blow on his head and face, and began striking him with an ice pick when pulled off. Both men were a bloody mess, with Himes far to the bad, as far as the amount of spilled gore was concerned. No officer was on the scene until Jacoby was summoned who took Himes to jail where his wounds were treated. George Barber and Ren Welsh engaged in a drunken fight, and were arrested by policeman Jacoby, Monday a. m. in the justice court of W. F. Young, Barber was fined $10.25 including costs on a charge of assault and battery, while Welsh drew $10.05 for intoxication. Both men made arrangements for paying their fines. WANTS 2 CENT PIECES. Urges Coinage Because Families Give Up $39,000,000 a Year by Paying Half Cent. The coinage of the Vi cent piece by the United States government is urred in a statoment given out by Wm. H. Short, a Netw York banker, who declares that the use of such a coin would mean a saving of $30',000,000 yearly to consumers "The absence of such coinage" he says, "has resulted in the universal custom of the sellers taking the half cent whenever a transaction does not result m oven money. I suppose it would be a safe estimate to say that each family loses the half cent on the average of ten times a week, resulting in their paying $0.fJO a year above the price oi articles purchased." "There are about i:,()00,000 families in the United States exclusive of the merchants and, figuring on the basis mentioned, they are losers yearly from this cause in the approximate sum of $:W,o00,000. "Spellin Bees" Coming Back "Spellin' bees" may be as common in Indiana this winter as in the good old palmy days when '?McGuffeys" was thought to prepare a hoy or girl for any of the intellectual battles of life if discreetly coupled with "ritin"' and '"ritbmatick." Sate Superintendent of Public Instruction Alev will ask school teachers to organize spelling contests all over the state. There will be township, county and district contests and a state contest. The township contests to he hold in December; the county in January, the diserict in February and the staute contest in March. Width of the Highways The good roads movement lias been given a new impetus during the lasit few weeks by reason of the state and national conventions held in different jiarts of the country. Good and bad roads have been discussed in all phases and one pofttt criticised in connection with our highways is the extraordinary width in comparison with (the good roatds maintained in European countries.

STANDARDS LOSE TO CLIPPERS AT VALPO SUNDAY BY SCORE OF I TO 0. Two Fumbles of Standard Second Basemen Allow the Only Run of the Game. The man whom they called Griswold, playing second basie lost the game by a chronic affliction df butterfingeritis. It lap-pe'ned-in the fourtji innimg, when he fumbled two batted balls, whereby Rick was enabled to get around to 'the second station in tini'e rfor the pinch hit of Cleo 'Myers and the game was won. In that inning, the happenings were thusiy: Glen Ward batted first, (grounding to second who fumbles, allowing the base. R'ick got sjalfie on Gr is wold's choice who .threw G. Ward out at second on the former' ground er. Leo Lbve spotted the pill down the carpet toward ,Griswold, who failed to connect for the second time, placing Rick safe on secoiKl, Love on first. Then came said 'Myers with a bee-ut'iftvl single over the short stop, scoring Rick. Ruse and Martindafa finished the inning by fanning, Love dying on sec ond. One hit, two errors and a score, the one and only of the game. Sunday's gafme between the Valparaiso Standards - and Plymouth 'Clippers at Valpo., was a pitchers 'battle and was won on an unearned score in th'e fourth inning by the Clippers, when the Standard second sacker played bum on two opportunities. Each team ,got four hits, Schultz pitch ing for Varpo 9truck out seven. and Leo Love twirling for the Clippers framed five. The game was one of the best exhibitions wlißeh tire Clippers have put up this season. It is said that when the Standards come to Plymouth next Sunday for the return, thiey "are juist bound to win." With such playing as the igame yes terday brotrghit out, it is beyond question thlat thiey have ar ex cellent chance ifor doing the same. About eight hundred Valparaiso (fans were treated to the best igame whlieh they have witieststcd n Vjajpla., cfor some time, wiliiich by far outclasses any exhibition which they, have lilad this year. TBie two features df the game were two difficult ones pulliedi Mown by Ch)peflfielders.

Vlxe only other error of the game was made bv Ohhn the third baseman for Valpo., whlen in the sixth he ifumbled Glen Wards "rounder. Three errors fo Valpo, two for tire dippers is the tally. In the eighth the locals nearly -scored again when two hits were hundh'ed, but two fielders choice plays on easy ones, and a pop out; fly ended the omxrtunitv. The four hits were made for Clippers by Glen Ward. Ohas. Ward, Leo Ixwe and Myers. Th'ey were made one in 'th'e s?cond, one in the fourth, and two in the eighth.

RECALLS INCIDENT.

Starting of First Train Between Indianapolis and Michigan City was Notable. Indianapolis Ind., Aug. 13. Fifty-seven years ago last Saturday, Aug. G the first railroad train ran between Nbblesville and Tipton on what is now the I nd ianapol is-M ich ijgan City division of the Lake Erie"and Western railroad. It was an incident which attracted a rreat deal of attention from the scant population and broifght many people from a 'isrance, at least, löse whb were "brave enough to wade through the mud and water to see it. The roaLfrom Indi anapolis to Nohksville had been completed some time before that. It was shortly after noon on Auigust G, 1853 flhiat the train left Ndblesvilte and the engine and two coaches reached Tipton late that evening nearly half a day being required to make the trip. The track to a point north of Atlanta, then known as Buena Vista was completed several days before fbut the men ran out of material and there was a shgrht delay. When the new supply of ties and flat bars arrived a committee of citizens from Tipton, headed by the late Judge Green went to the; point Where the men were at work and told them if they got the track completed to Tipton by Che followihig evening, which was August G, they would be presented with a dash purse. The men agreed to accomplish the feat and sukxeeded. They received $25. The money was given to the leader of the crowd, and they stopped at the nearest saloon, there being two saloons in Tipton at that time and about two hours later the little nlamlet reseiflbled a reunion of lunatics. The following day the first train was run out of lipton tflirou1v Ndblesville ttor Indian aooHs. The miembtrs of ; committee of leading citizens were nassenerers on that trip. ft .7 They went to Indianapolis, but it required practically the entire day to make tlite journey as old Halt Cars were used and the tram was off the trade a farce part of the time. Bverrytime the wheels left the track ithe passengers were called into service and alter : erreat deal of Mor they succeed ed in gett?rtg the wheels back in position and the wheezy engine would sttiart on its way only to be interruoted soon bv cetting off the track again. There are several persons yet Mvirug in No blesrville and .Irpton who rexrai the event. STORY OF 4 FLIES. A Little Bit of Allegory Illustra tive of Food Adulteration, But Not in This Country, In the course of a disquieting article on the sulbject of food ad ulteration, a writer in the Ger man Weekly drops an allegory. Americans who read -it eongrat ulate themselves that things are now different in thjs country. "There were once 4 flies which made thetfr way into a certain pantry and determined to have a feast. "One flew to the sugar and ate heartily ; but he soon died, for the sttfgar was full of white lead." "The second chose the flour as hUs diet, but he fared no better, for the flour was loaded wrth plaster parfis." "The third sampled the sirup, and his six legs were presently raised in the air, for the syrup was colored with anihne dyes. "The fourth fly seeing all his friends dead determined to end his life also, and drank deeply of the fly poison which he found in a convenient sauoer.. "He is still alive and in ood health. That, too, was adulter ated." Match Factory Burned. What was supposed to have been a fire proof buiIding, occu pied by the Star Match company, was reduced to ashes wean es day at Elkhart with a loss esti mated at 100,000. Superintend ent T. W.

HELD AS THE CHIEF ISSUE

WILL ECLIPSE TARIFF PROBLEM IS BELIEF OF CARLISLE Member of Studebaker Company at South Bend Discusses Problems to Become Interest Charles Arthur Carlisle of the Studebaker company at South Bend, says that the greatest is sues before the American people is conservation, saad Mr. Carlisle. "Conservation is the live issue the most important thing to be considered in our national life. Compared with it the tariff is a mere bagatelle. Unless I miss my guess, the tariff will be lost sight df, and conservation will take its place as the absorbing and paramount issue in the next national campaign." "In my opinion one of the greatest conferences of aJl time was the one called by President Roosevelt at the White House, May 13 to 15, l'JOS, which directed the current of the people's thoughts to the devastation of American resources by predatory, interests and the necessity of I taking action to preserve nature's heritage for the benefit and enjoyment of millions of common people yet unborn. The government awakened just in trme. "The work thus begun is a work of the centuries No loving person can estimate the farreaching importance of the battle that hats been begun by such men as Roosevelt, Pinchot and Beveridge to protect the rights of the common people. Now we are only at the threshold of the gigantic struggle. Generations hence it will loom up large in perspective." "Conservation means that every man, woman and also child of this land has an inherited rfght to it; to use it and to enjoy it; and to bring comfort and luxury out of it. But it does not mean that ' you or 1 or any other person or dass of people shall have the right to destroy this property and exhaust it that a few may grow fabulously rich and the children of the land in the next generation shall starve. The aim of conservation is not for the party of the cflass, or the creed but for all the people and their chlidren." .
