POLITICS WARMING UP

These Be Susy Times for Politicians of Both Parties. Indianapolis, Jan. 9. These aro busy times for the politicians of both parties. The Republicans met in all parts of the state to reorganize their county committees and to make preparations for their district conventions Tuesday, when their state committeemen will be chosen. A majority of the old committeemen will be re-elected, as was the case with the Democratic committee. The interesting fights of course are in the Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. A calendar of the political events for next week is Interesting. The district conventions come Tuesday. On "Wednesday Bryan will address a mass-meeting here. On Thursday he will make a speech at a banquet at Evansville, and on Thursday the Republicans will complete the reorganization of their state committee here.

It would not be surprising if the Democrats should hold their state convention ahead of the Republicans thu4 time, for they seem bent upon getting into the campaign very early. Several members of the state committee expressed their hearty favor of an early convention. Two conspicuous figures at the meeting of the Democrats were W. E. Cox of Jasper, and Lincoln Dixon of North Vernon. They were sized up critically, as there is a prospect that they will become members of the Indiana congressional delegation next year. It seems practically settled that Dixon will be nominated to succeed Congressman Griffith, who will not be a candidate. Chairman O'Brien, Joe Cravens of Madison, Joe Shea of Seymour, and other well-known party leaders in the Fourth are for Dixon, and they say he will certainly win. His only opponent now is P. H. McCormack of Columbus, arid it is by no means a certainty that he will run. Dixon, it is said, will shortly resign as district chariman and Shea will be named as his succosor by Chairman O'Brien. Cox is r ranirg against Con gressman Zenor of the Third. He has won in the fight to control the district machinery, which has given him so much presige that he thinks he will certainly be nominated. However, Zenor 13 a hard fighter and has such a hold on his district that it will be a hard matter to shake him off.

The election of Joe Fanning as vice

chairman of the Democratic state com

mittee came as a surprise. It was not only not known that he wras a candidate, but it was a surprise that an office should be created, for the committee has never had a vice chairman. Fanning has been a member of the committee since the campaign of 1900, when Taggart resigned in his favor. He is a good, careful politician, and above all is a true-blue Taggartite. His election was fought to the last ditch by J. L. Keach and his followers," and there is likely to be much grumbling among them because the committee has seen fit to give him a position of such importance. Chairman O'Brien can't be in Indianapolis all of the time, so the position of vice chairman will be one of great importance. Fanning is . one of the bestknown politicians in Indiana. He was formerly deputy auditor of state and made an unsuccessful race for the office of auditor.

RAILROAD GOSSIP

Samuel Rea, fourth vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, is a commanding man, in character as well as in stature. He is a studen and a thinker and his habits of thought enable him to grasp large ideas and problems without missirs mv important detail. Ho knows the business end of railroading thoroughly, and in the carryinsr out of the Pennsylvania railroad plans to spend $150,000,000 in improvements. Mr. Kea has been President Cassatt's light-hand man. For several years Viee President Rea investigated the matter of building and operating underground railways. lie examined everything of the kind in this country and went to Europe two or three times on the same mission. When the Pennsylvania management determined to tunnel the North and East rivers and run an underground roan .across Manhattan Island the general supervision of the gigantic urwlert a king-was turned over to Mr. Rea. As an instance of his capacity for work it may be remarked that while fulfilling his responsibilities to the Pennsylvania' railroad Mr. Rea finds tme to serve as a director with at least twenty other important corpora

tions. Mr. Rea makes most of the purchases for the Pennsylvania railroad, and the honesty and capacity he has displayed in that department of railroad work is one reason for the great strength ;of the Pennsylvania System. ,

FIGHTING STRENGTH OF JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

The executive committee of the Democratic Editorial association has made arrangements for the annual midwinter meeting on Feb. 4. There will be a business meeting during the day, and at night a banquet at which addresses will be made. It is expected that this will be the most interesting meeting the association has held in a long time.

TWO MORE VICTIMS

List of Dead In Theater Fire Now Numbers 568. Chicago, Jan. 9. No evidence of importance which had not previously been made public has thus far been obta'ned at the coroner's inquest over the victims of the Iroquois theater fire. Engineer Murray, of the theater, in his testimony showed that the theater was almost destitute of protection against fire, that no precautions had been taken and that no instructions had ever been given to any of the attaches. There were standpipes, he said, in the theater, but only one coil of hose and this not over fifty feet long. Other witnesses told chiefly of their own experiences. Two more names have been added to the list of victims of the fire. Nellie Dawson, 27 years old, and Estelle Muir, 31 years old, died In the hospitals. This makes a total of 568 dead, according to the coroner. Miss Muir, whose home was In Evansville, Ind., was in the theater with her two sisters, both of whom perished.

Democratic State Committee. Indianapolis, Jan. 9. The Democratic state committee has elected the following officers for the coming campaign: Chairman Sonator W. H. O'Brien, Lawrenceburg. Vice Chairman Joseph T. Fanning, Indianapolis. Secretary Joseph Reiley, Indianapolis. Treasurer Thomas Taggart, Indianapolis.

Hottentots Give Up. Cape Town, Jn. 9. It was officially announced yesterday that peace had been declared In Damaraland, German Southwest Africa, and that, the hostile Hottentots bad surrendered.

Probably the latest and most reliable estimate of the relative fighting strength of Japan and Russia is that made for the London Times by its military and naval correspondents and printed in the issue of that paper which reached this city yesterday. The outlook, according to these experts, is more than favorable to Japan at sea, while there is at leas an even chance for her on land.

The naval expert admits, to start wTith, that there are factors on both sides Avhieh are hard to determine, but he gives us the benefit of all the knowledge available. lie compares the Japanese fleet with the Russian ships which are either in the far east or are now on their wpy there. Japan has six battle ships to Russia's eight, but not even the best of the Russian ships comes up to the Japanese standard. Moreover, the Japanese ships are practically all of one grade, and can be handled therefr to great advantage, while the Russian fleet must adapt itself in action to the capacity of its poorest vessel. In armored - cruisers Japan has six to

Russia's five, and Japan's are the

better. In protected cruisers Japan

has fourteen to Russia's eight.

Even more important than this

superiority of fleet is the fact that

Japan has four fine dockyards 'quite

capable both of constructing and repairing vessels of any class," while Russia's docking facilities are "entirely inadequate even for the ordinary repair and maintenance of the fleet." So great is Japan's super

iority at sea, everything considered

that the writer would not be sur

prised if the Russians should "with

draw their ships into the Gulf of Pe-

Chi-Li rather than force a fleet action." When the issue at seahas been settled, either by victory or blockade, then will come the land campaign. Japan's permanent army has 7,500 officers and 190..000 men. Her reserve and territorial armies bring her total land force to 430,000 men. Russia, according to the best estimate that can be made, has about 150.000 men in the far east, while "it is probable 'hit the Russian troop? which would hn available for servic in Manchuria when either Russia or Japan has proved its naval domination in the China peas will not much exceed 200,000 men." With Japan victor at sea, the military experts believes that Japan's transportation facilities would be far superior to Russia's. He points out that the Siberian railroad is exceedly vulnerable. thr?t it would require an immense fore to guard it, and that at the best its facilities cannot serve for the maintenance of more than 100,000 men. On thfe other hand Japan, with her railroads and harbors, and with her short sea haul, "should bo able to land an expeditionary force superior to any force that Russia by means of her land communications can concentrate rtrninst her in four months." The personal factors bravery, hrrun?, enthusiasm, discipline pro less amenable to calculation, but both the military and the naval experts believe in their best judgment that

the Japanese are the superior.

IERYE DISEASES . READILY CUBED

About thirty years ago two German physicians made the wonderful discovery that every portion of the body is controlled by and supplied with vitality by nerve centers located in different parts of the brain. Later Dr. Miles, President of the Grand Dispensary, discovered that defects of these delicate centers were a prolific cause of many weaknesses and diseases of the various bodily organs. If an engine does not receive sufficient power it cannot do ts work. The same is true of the lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, womb, bladder, etc. Loss of nerve power is a prolific cause of consumption, dyspepsia, headache, pain, Brights' and heart disease, nervousness, debility, etc. This discovery is rapidly revolutionizing the treatment of this class of diseases. Cases that were formerly incurable now yield readily to Dr. Miles' new treatment. Weak nerve centers cause or complicate every lingering or chronie disease. Persons having any weakness or disease, should read Dr. Miles' "Neuro

pathy," a booklet treating on Nerve Cure for all chronic diseases, which will be sent free. It contains many interesting facts and fine illustrations of the various brain centers which control the numerous organs. It shows the seat of life where a pin prick will cause instant death. Do not fail to send postal for it. If you wish a better . understanding of your disease, if you desire a speedy cure, if you would prolong your life, remember that "Knowledge is power" and send a postal to Franklin L. Miles, M. D., LL. B., Grand Block, 564 to 574 Main street, Elkhart, Ind., for this free book. Every progressive person should read it. 1,000 testimonials free upon request.
