A GOOD EXAMPLE

Gov. Durbin Practices What Ho Preaches About Arbor Day. PLANTS TREE HIMSELF The Grounds of the State Rouse Were Personally Decorated, by State's Chief Executive. This Follows the Precedent Established by the Liate Gov. Mount. Indianapolis, April 4. Commemorative of Arbor day, and following a precedent established by Governor Mount, Governor Durbin planted a tree on the lawn east of the statehouse. Custodian W. W. Huffman selected about twenty trees for planting on the lawn and gave the governor the choice of the lot, a fine young ash. Like a worker in the woods the governor took a spade and made the ground fly. While the helpers held the tree the governor placed tho ground carefully about the roots of the tree, and when the hole was filled stamped the soil down. A DIFFICULT PROBLEM Indianapolis in a Quandary Over Its Bridges. Indianapolis, April 4. The bridge proposition is one which tas been agitating Indianapolis for several months on account of the poor condition of several of the structures in this ci':y. A new feature has been presented in the discussion of the question on account of the recent flood. It was clearly demonstrated . that several of the new bridges over Fall creek do not have sufficient "headway" to accommodate the great flow of water which is sure to come down the stream in case of a flood. How to secure the necessary headway will be a point to be determined in future j bridge construction. It will be a difficult one to solve, too. The reason for this is that the streets crossing Fall creek are so low that the headway cannot be secured. To give the headway it will be necessary to build up the streets at least twenty feet. If this is done, however, another difficult point is presented, for the building of such high approaches would endanger all property in case the creek should overflow its banks and it. could not flow off. Cremated In His Barn. Washington, Ind., April 4. The charred body of Frank Morgan, a farmer, six miles from Washington, was found in his burning barn. Morgan went to the barn with a lantern to attend a sick horse. Later his sister awakened and, looking out of the window, saw the barn burning. She summoned help and when the neighbors reached the barn about half of Morgan's body was found, the remainder being consumed. Injunction Against City. New Albany, Ind., April 4. The city council has been restrained from adopting an ordinance granting a new franchise to the New Albany waterworks. The order commands the appearance of the city in court on May 9 to show cause why a permanent restraining order should not be issued. It was issued on complaint of Councilman John H. McQuiddy, Democrat, -who alleges its provisions are unfair to property holders. Young Mother's Suicide. Veedersburg, Ind., April 4. Mrs. John Phillips of this city committed suicide at her home by taking carbolic acid. She purchased four ounces of the poison at two different drug stores a year ago and had several times threatened to take her life. She was twenty-seven years old and left her husband and two children, one of the latter being two weeks old. The act was attributed to poor health. Will Plead Self-Defense. Terre Haute, Ind., April 4. George Richards and Jack Richardson, the musicians held for the murder of John Washburn, were arraigned and remanded to jail without bond until Wednesday, when the trial will occur. The defense will claim the stabbing was done in solf-defense. New Trial Was Refused. Richmond, Ind., April 4. O. S. Bertram of Centerville, who was convicted of misconduct toward hip stepdaughter, Mrs. Lloyd K. Hill, jr., after a long legal fight, was sentenced to the Michigan City prison for two to five years. The motion for a new trial was overruled. Charge Was Not Sustained. Lafayette, Ind., April 4. William C. Hooper, a prosperous and reputable farmer living near Romney, was declared not guilty of the charge of having ruined his seventeen-year-old daughter, Emily Hooper, who was tho prosecuting witness. Huntsman Loses Both Hands. Evansville, Ind., April 4. John Judy of Jasper, while returning from duck hunting, in trying to lift his gun from the skiff, had both hands shot off. He la twenty-seven years old.

ELEVENTH DISTRICT CONTEST

The Two Term Idea Advanced In Ex planaticn of Result. Indianapolis, April 4. The rehomination of Fred Landis on the Republican ticket as the congressional candidate in tne Eleventh district has apparently set at rest all doubt on one proposition, and that is that the people of Indiana generally still abide by the opinion that a man should be given at least two nominations for. this important position. The two term idea has always appealed to Indiana people. In several of the districts for years the rule was adhered to with a consistency that made it almost impossible for a candidate to break over it. The few congressmen who did have the temerity to seek renomination were generally turned down in a vigorous style that did not give much encouragement to anyone contemplating asking a third term. Of late years however, the people apparently have grown away from the idea that two terms are enough, and Fred Landis is the only man at present in the delegation who is not serving at least a third term. The Landis case, however, has given proof of the fact that the people apparently believe that while two terms may not be enough, that a man should have at least four years in congress. At the beginning of the campaign Landis' chance3 were not very bright. As the fight progressed apparently they grew worse. In the doubtful counties Major Steele wn out and apparently the latter had things coming his own way. But then sentiment changed. In the very counties where it was thought Steele would have no opposition he lost out entirely and Landis' renomination was accomplished. The only reason assigned is that the American idea of fair p.ay triumphed and the voters rose to assert that a man is entitled to two terms. Whether Landis will find the two-term spirit too strong to overcome in case he asks a third term, remains to be seen. There is one men in Indianapolis just now wrho is receiving many congratulations and that is Joseph B. Kealing, United States district attorney. The cause for which Mr. Kealing has received the commendation of the people generally is ths masterly manner in which he has prosecuted the case against the Elkhart bank wreckers. Mr. Kealing's position has been a hard one. In prosecuting Walter Brown he is attacking one of his very best friends, yet he has done his duty in spite of this fact, and Brown's case has been pushed as vigorously as that against Brodrick. The fact that Brodrick was driven to the point of desperation so that he changed his plea to acknowledge his guilt, speaks of itself, and it Is not hard to understand why Mr. Kealing has been congratulated. The new interurban union station which is being erected in this city is advancing rapidly and it will not be many months now until the thousands of people who use the interurbans will have a home of their own in this city. The steel framework was finished three months ago, and the terra cotta is now being put in place. The walls are up for seven stories and the floors in place to the same story. It will only take a few more weeks to complete the outside work. The finishing will be hurried into place. Officers of the Terminal and Traction company say that by Sept. 1 at the very latest the building will be completed and all the interurban business of the city will be conducted from a single point. TO SAVE OTHERS Peter Niedermeler Adds Another Murder to His Confessions. Chicago, April 4. Almost within the coils of the hangman's rope, Peter Niedermeler, one of the car-barn bandits, has made what he declares is a true confession to save two other men from the gallows and one from long Imprisonment in the pen. T killed Patrick Barrett in his saloon at 4216 Wallace street last May," said Niedermeler. "John Lynch and James Sammons, who are under sentence of death for the crime, and also Hugh Reilly, who has been sentenced to the pen, are Innocent. They had nothing to do with the raid. "I shot and killed Barrett. I make this statement solely to save Innocent men. I have no hope for life and I do not want innocent persons to suffer for what I have done." On the strength of Niedermeier's statement the attorneys for the convicted men today applied for a writ of habeas corpus. Second Charge Will Be Heard. Evansville, Ind., April 4 The Jury In the case of George Lamp, at Jasper, charged with causing the downfall of Stella Stork or Huntingburg, brought In a verdict of guilty. The punishment Is from one to five years in the state prison. Lamp Is under indictment for causing the death of the Stork girl by criminal practice, and this case will be heard this week. Deadly Explosion in Iowa. Marshalltown, la., April 4. An explosion in the Citizens National bank building at Albia, caused three deaths and Injured several. The cause of the explosion is unknown, but it is supposed it originated in the heating plant. General Payne Improving. Washington, April 4.

EM OF THE WAR

Further Skirmishing Is Ilepor'i il But Details are Lacking. IN YALU KIVEIt .-REGION Hussian and Japanese Forces Are w. Evidently Daily Drawing Closer Together. Main Russian Concentration on Line ,. From Liao Yang to u Hai Cheng. Shanghai, April 4. An unconfirmed report says that a Japanese army of 105,000 men has landed opposite Taku Shan, in southern Manchuria, and is marching north and northwest; that another army of 40,000 has landed in northwestern Korea and is marching toward the Yalu river, and that a third force has disembarked in northeastern Korea and is marching westward. London, April 4. Reports of further skirmishing between the Russians and Japanese in the Yalu river region are reaching London, but no reliable details are given. A Seoul correspondent believes that the defenses of Port Arthur have been so weakened that the early capture of the port is to be expected. There is little doubt, the correspondent says, that only a narrow passage Is left, and that at the first favorable opportunity the Japanese will block the channel. The Russians Lave taken many 12-inch guns out of their chips to arm the old and new defences of Port Arthur. The correspondent says he learns that in the first attack on Port Arthur the greater part of the Japanese torpedo boat flotilla mistakenly followed two Russian torpedo boat destroyers which crossed their path, and thus failed to enter the harbor to complete the destruction of the Russian fleet. A correspondent at Yin Kow says that the position there is daily becoming stronger. A fortnight ago the Japanese could have landed with comparative ease, while now they will experience great difficulty. The correspondent says he has received trustworthy information that the concentration of troops along the railway has been so rapid that it is now impossible for the Japanese to carry the war into Manchuria with any hope of success, and that the most they can do is to isolate Port Arthur and possibly Vladivostok. Latest trustworthy reports show that the main Russian concentration is on the line from Liao Yang to Hal Cheng, south of Mukden, and that arrivals from the north and depletions from the Port Arthur garrison are concentrated there at a convenient point for dispatch to the Yalu. There is also a mobile force in readiness to meet any other threatened Japanese advance or landing. It is not easy to form a correct estimate of the naval situation. WITHOUT OPPOSITION The Japanese Army Has Occupied Another Town. Tokio, April 4. The advance guard of the Japanese army in northwestern Korea occupied the town of Sang Cheng Saturday afternoon without opposition. Sang Cheng is on the Pekln road, eighteen miles west of Chengju and about forty miles south of Wiju. When the Japanese drove the Russians out of Chengju last Monday the Russians withdrew in two columns, one going over the Koak San road, and the other over the Pekin road. The Japanese advance from Chengju was made very rapidly. It was anticipated that the Russians would resist this advance, but they failed to do so, and now it is not probable that there will be any further opposition south of the Yalu river. Chengju, because of Its superior natural surroundings. Is the strongest place between Ping Yang and Wiju. Besides these . natural advantages there is an old Korean fort there, which, had it been defended with spirit, would have been hard to take. The Japanese are gratified at the comparative ease with which they drove the Russians irom this fort. Fixing for Japs' Return. Port Arthur, April 4. Preparations have been made to give the Japanese a warm reception in case they again attempt to block the harbor. Vice Admiral Togo was right in surmising that Vice Admiral Makaroff is responsible for the change in Russian naval tactics and for the inspiration of Russian seamen. Will Take No Chances. Vladivostok, April 4. The commandant has published an order In the Russian, Chinese and Korean languages to the effect that he will sink any vessel attempting to enter the port at night. Militia Being Withdrawn. Telluride, Col., April 4. All of the troops sent here when martial law was re-established ten days ago, with the exception of the Meeker cavalry and the home troop, have left the camp under orders to proceed to their home stations. This leaves less than 100 militiamen at Camp Telluride.

ATTENTION, FARMERS ! Why remain in the North and stay in doors six months in the year consuming what you raise during the other six months? Go South where you can work out doors every month in the year, and where you are producing something the year round. If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now "eating theii heads ofT" aid, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter ';y expensive shelter. Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming foods in certain proportions. Alabama and Florida prodace in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer, fc and the latter a fat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. More money can be made and with less labo, in general farming fruit and berry growing and truck gardening alonr our road in the South than in any other section of the Union. If you are interested and desire further information on the subject, address G. A. PARK, Gen'l Immigration and Industrial K Agent, Louisville & Nashville R. R. C, Louisville, Ky.
