Silver Lake, lnd., May 14. Farmers south of Silver Lake are showing great interest in the big ditch now being dredged through the channel of Silver creek, by which 2,000 acres of practically useless land will become available for farming purposes. The dredge floats in 7V feet of water, and a day and a night force is working, dredging 150 feet a .day. The ditch will be nearly eight miles in length, terminating near Laketon. It will have a spur running to Twin lakes, which will be lowered three feet. The ditch was started ten years ago, but times were so hard and the assessments were so high that the work was abandoned. There is now no opposition to the ditch along its proposed route, everybody conceding that it is a work much needed, and which will prove of great advantage.

Colored Woman Shot Dead by a White Neighbor. Evansville, lnd., May 14 A family row at Uniontown, Ky last night resulted "in the murder of Mrs. Etta Finney, colored, by J. E. Ellis, white. The families lived adjoining, and there was trouble between the white and colored children. When Ellis returned home last night he found a battle raging between the children. Mrs. Finney bore a part, seeing which Ellis used his shotgun, killing her instantly. Then he barricaded himself in his house, saying he would not submit to arrest, but he was captured by the town marshal and was removed to Morgantown for safe keeping. Ellis was in the grocery business, and bore a good reputation. The negroes at Uniontown are much disturbed by the murder.

turned to I'rerca L.ick. His famous smile was troaaer than ever when he departed. He is so pleased over his big victory in the-state convention that he co-jld not keep from showing it. He declared that, in his opinion, the endorsement of Indiana means that Judge Parker will certainly capture the Democratic nomination for president. Indiana, he said, is a pivotal state, and, having followed the suit of

New York, he is confident that it practically cinches matters lor Judge Parker. Taggart s joy in this matter is two-fold, for it is generally believed that he expects to become chairman of the national committee, providing his man is successful at the St. Louis convention. Taggart's pockets were bulging with telegrams of congratulation, a number of which came from men in New York who stand very close to David B. Hill and Judge Parker.

TRADE CONDITIONS The Situation for the Week as Noted by Bradstreet'o. New York, May 14. Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says: Weather conditions have been favorable, crop planting and growth have made fair progress and retail trade has been benefited, the improvement extending in some lines to re-orders from Jobbers. Dry goods, shoes and groceries note relatively greatest activity. Rather more is doing also in fall goods. General industry has remained rather quiet, notably so in cotton, woolen and shoe manufacturing. The iron trade Is quieter as a whole, with prices easier. An immense area of fall-sown wheat has had to be abandoned, but this will probably go into other crops. Prices show a gradual drifting downward from the high levels of early spring. The serious labor troubles of the week, and in fact the most hurtful so far this year, is the strike of lake pilots and sailors. A long continuance of this trouble may have an important effect upon the iron trade, as it affects demand for ore.

He Fooled the Undertaker. Bloomington, lnd., May 14. Funeral Director Pauley of this city was called

.eight miles into the. country to, take.!

charge of the burial of Tyson Sherrul, a well-known citizen, and upon arrival at the door of the family home he was informed that his services were not yet required. Two hours before he had been summoned by telephone. Sherrill had apparently died after bidding the family farewell. The body was arranged after death, and friends were seated near the bedside, mourning over his departure, when Sherrill suddenly opened his eyes and startled the family by remarking: "I am not dead." Sherrill is seventy years old and was a soldier in the Mexican and civil wars.

The Hearst headquarters at the Claypool hotel will probably be closed at once. J. Oecar Henderson, who has been in charge, is now closing up affairs. While it is not disputed that many of Hearst's loyal followers are disgruntled at the result of the stata convention, Mr. Henderson says that he takes no stock in the reports that they will bolt if Judge Parker is nominated. Most of them are showing a disposition already to abide by the will of the majority, but close observers believe that the majority of the Hearst men are very hopeful that, if he does not receive the nomination, it will go to a third candidate. Already there seems to be a growing sentiment in favor of McClellan of New York, and it is possible that Hearst's followers under the circumstances would support him more loyally than they would Parker.

Victim of Cruel Murder. Chicago, May 14 The body of a man who had evidently been murdered was found in the Illinois and Michigan canal last night.

There was a deep knife wound about four Inches above the right knee, the skull had ben fractured by a blow behind the right ear, and the left shoulder was broken.

Suspicion of Foul Play. Bloomfield, lnd., May 14. The Greene county board of commissioners has appointed William Huffman to fill out the unexpired term of his late father, Sheriff John C. Huffman, who recently committed suicide. While all the evidence points to self-destruction, Dr. George B. Gray of Worthington, who held the autopsy, believes that Sheriff Huffman was murdered.

. The-political atmosphere of Indiana Is now resuming its normal temperature. It has been greatly disturbed during the last six months by the fight for places on the Republican state ticket and the contest for control of the Indiana delegation to the Democratic convention at St. Louis. The next big convention here will be in June, when the Prohibitionists will nominate their national ticket. It is likely that Indiana will present the name of Felix T. McWhirter of Indianapolis for vice president. Although the party leaders never have hopes of carrying Indiana, yet this is recognized as one of the strong prohibition states. Elaborate plans are being made for the entertainment of the visitors, and it is expected there will be a crowd of ten thousand.
