POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS. Eugene A. Philbin, former Democratic district attorney of New York, and a prominent gold Democrat, is out in support of President Roosevelt, stating that he approves of his course in the Philippines, and lauds him for exposing the postal frauds. He says that Judge Parker has already shown a disposition to play politics in withholding the announcement of his position regarding the gold platform until after he had receiA-ed the nomination, and that he might again be influenced by some personal interests in the conduct of national affairs. In stating his position he said, among other thing-s: "The reason Why I, being a Democrat, am going to support President Roosevelt, is that through personal acquaintance Avith the man and from close observation of his administration I believe that it will be for the best interests of this country that he elected."

QUEER

NAMES

Get Into the Postal Guide, But Authorities are Strict. The lis lie flurry incident to the refusal of ihe Postoihce Department to name a Mississippi postouVe after the roA-ernoj- of that State calls attention to the fact that the Postal Guide does not make bad summer reading. A perusal of its 700 or 800 pages may become tiresome in time, but the scrutiny Avill be relieved occasionally by bright bits of humor that will make the reading worth while. The Post office Department has a feAV set rules that are enforced in the hope of keeping names of postofiices Avithin certain bounds of reason. As is now pretty Avell known, the government discourages the bestowal of long nomes on litile towns. It also insists. j where practicable, that Avords of one J or two syllables be selected. Excep tions to this rule arc made Avhen it is desired to give to a locality a historical name or one that has become local by long usage. The department frowns on the custom of prefixing "East," "Old," "North," "South," or "West" to the name of a postoffice and also objects to such additions as "Burg," "Center," "City," "Corners," "Creek," "Cross Roads," Etc. Whenever practicable the villagers are given free rein in the selection of a postoffice name, but if the chosen appellation threatens to become confused with a toAvn of the same name in another State, then the authorities require a neAv choice. Thus, if there is a SmithA'ille in Indiana, the department Avill not appro -e an application for a Smithville in Maryland, because the abbreviation" of the two States Md. and Ind. is apt to cause trouble. The same rule applies to Pennsylvania and Virginia, and to Minnesota and Mississippi. "Up in Alaska they haA'e a place called Cold Feet," said an old Postoffice Department employe today, "and after they struck oil out in Ohio they named a thriving town Greasy Ridge. Then, down in South Carolina there is a hamlet listed in the Postal Guide as Nine Times. West Virginia goes fiA-e better Avith a Fourteen, and so on down the list." In 1S95 a reform A-as instituted in the naming of postofiices, and at the same time the Postal Guide Avas reAised with a big blue pencil. Such name as Robbers' Roost and Hell's Retreat Avere stricken out, and the local inhabitants were required to suggest less startling names or else they Aere conferred outright by the department. Since then more care has been taken in the selection of names, and there has also been a systematic effort to preserve euphony in titles. LUCK? PRINTER He Bought Oil Lands With His SavingsNow Wealthy. Marion, August 9. The luckiest man in the Indiana oil field at this time is Tony S. Richards, age twenty-three, a linotype operator of Muncie. Four years ago Richards, a poor boy, came to Portland and secured an apprenticeship at the linotype in a daily neAvspaper office. He contracted to work one year at $5.00 a week for the chance to learn the machine. He Avas a frugal lad and out of his $5.00 saA-ed $1.00 e-ery Aveek. At the end of the year he bought a lot in the town of Redkey for a few dollars Avith his savings He went to Muncie and soon had a job at regular Avages. Again he saAred and bought other lots adjacent to the first one purchased. A few weeks ago young Richards organized an oil company to drill on his lots. The company Avas named the Linotype Oil company and the first AA-ell, jn-t recently completed, is one of th-j most remarkable ever drilled in Indiana. Tavo 250-barrel tanks Avere filled in tAventy-threa hours and Richards could readilv sell his property for fp-250,000. Catholics for Roosevelt. Boston. Mass., August 9. The Boston Pilot, always Democratic, comes out for Roosevelt. In an editorial printed this week under the caption, "Lest We Forget," it recites that Roosevelt has always shown himself fair toward Catholics and concludes thus: "We say: Be grateful to your friends and do not forget them. "That is why the people with long memories have a warm place in their heart for Theodore Roosevelt, no fair weather friend, no favorer of any class or creed or race, but a just man and a safe one to trust, in storm or calm.' Marion Chronicle.

AN EARLY CAMPAIGN Opening Gun May - D Fired S Jcn;r ' Than First ExpsctscJ. Indianapolis. Aug.-, -The RoubKcans . Avill probably .open thoir speaking cn:jni:;Ti fnTnoAvht o3.ii?r thfin expected. Chairrr.an Lyons of tho speakers' bureau Faid today that he is planning the itinerary of J. Frank Hanly. the candidate for governor, and se"eral others v.l:o will take a Aery prominent oart. It has l een the understanding that there vnulil be no speaking until between the 15th and 20th of September, but Chairman Lyon said that Mr. Hanly will open his einipaign at RushviHe the 8th of the month. Ho is to speak in every oo'tnty, if possible. If he starts on the 8th he will have to double in many days to make the entire tour, which is assigned as one of the reasons for tho early start, but it is believed that it is the purpose of the Republicans to take the initiative in the campaign fully a fortnight earlier than originally announced. Chairman Lyons said today, howevor, that the date U r tho general opening of the campaign in this state has not been fixed. Secretary Reiley of the Democratic state committee also made a similar statement today. The controversy over the Republican nomination for senator for the district composed of Henry, Fayette and Union counties seems to be reaching a more hopeless stage than ever, and it now looks as if there will be two Republican nominees. A. D. Ogborn of New Castle and E. E. Moore of Connersville, which means the probable loss of the district to the Republicans unless one or the other should withdraw before the election. After conferring with his associates at New Castle, Ogborn has decided to stand pat by tho primary which several months ago Elected delegates in his favor. Moore and his followers will have a primary Aug. 17, and will probably declare him nominated whether or not Henry county participates. Ogborn says he won't permit his name to be voted on in Henry county again, as he feels that the first primary was sufficient. His side is insisting on a joint convention, and Chairman Lambert of Henry county will probably issue a call for one at Connersville Aug. 19. In the meantime Moore and his side will be busy and they will probably call a convention for the same time and place. Ok born has raised the "point that the law does not recognize a nomination for the legislature by direct primary, and If his opponent claims it that way he will probably take the matter into the supreme court to ha'e it settled. At any rate it is figured it looks now as If the matter will haA-e to be settled by the courts.

Calls have been issued for the Eighth district Democratic congressional convention at Portland Sept. 7, and for the First district at Princeton, Aug. 23. Edward DeHority of EIwood, who was here today, is prominently mentioned for the nomination in the Eighth, and will probably get it. Although the Eighth is strongly Republican, many of the Democrats believe they have a chance there because of the large number of workingmen who have moved away since the failure of gas. In the First William Stillwell of Princeton, known more generally as "Blue-Eyed Billy" Stillwell, and Thomas J. Dillon of Petersburg, are mentioned for the nomination, but neither are candidates. Congressman Hemenway has carried the First so often that it has come to be regarded as a Republican district, but itw as formerly Democratic, and Secretary Reiley predicted today that they will make it Democratic this year, as all of the old-time Democratic leaders are back in line. It would not be surprising therefore if the First should be one of the main battlegrounds ia Indiana. Chairman Smith of the Marion county committee is anxious to have Senator Fairbanks open the campaign here. Many of the politicians of Republican faith, it may be stated, are anxious that Senator Fairbanks shall Are the first gun here, and they are of the opin ion that it would be the proper thing for him to open his campaign In his own home. Still, no arrangements will be made pending word from Chairman Cortelyou of the national committee as to what arrangements he has In mind for the senator. The latter ia now working on his letter of acceptance, but will stop long enough tomorrow to accompany Mrs. Fairbanks to Marysville, Ohio, where they will attend the annual home-comers' day of Union county people. Both are natives of the county. No arrangements are to be made for Senator Beveridge's speaking tour of this state until he returns from the Maine woods, and he is not expected before Sept. 1. Beavers Hearing Postponed. New York, Aug. 9. George W. Beavers, former head of the salary and allowance division in the postoffice department at Washington, appeared before Judge Thomas in the federa) building in Brooklyn yesterday, the day set for the submission of briefs relatiAe to Beaver's removal to.th? District of Columbia, on indictments found there for alleged bribery. The briefs requested by the court were nor ready and the matter went over to aIndefinite date. Powerful Alliance Prcjscted. Indianapolis, Aug. &. Twenty tan representing upward of a million union workmen are meeting at the Denison hotel for the purpose of perfectine the organization of the Structural Bulldin& Trades Alliance, which promises to be one of the largest and most powerful federations of union labor in the world.

1 Plan ,1st;:blish Western Headquai ters Was Frustrated. - York. Aug. 0. The ; national Itic executive committee was 9ii five hours yesterday. .The ,of natior.1 h?idquarter3 wa No. 1 West Thirty-fourth consisting of the second, third Ke Demc in se locp.t fixed street floors r.nd the basement of the Century building. It was determined not to cpen branch headquarters in the West, or to name additional committees fir the present. Plans of organization were taken up aad thoroughly mapped out. The statement Avas made that th session Avas harmonious and the conclusions were reacned without discord. Chairman Taggart denied that the decision not to establish branch headquarters in the West at present was due to any differences about location, or because he had suggested Indianapolis in preference to Chicago. Senator Gorman was not at the meeting. Ther has been some doubt as to Mr. Taggart's connection with the executive committee, but tho meeting yesterday seemed to recognize the chairman, the vice cnairman and the .secretary a a members. A HINT TO CHEKIB Secretary Hay Tells Turkish Representative What's What. "Washington, Aug. 9. Secretary Hay has bluntly told Chekib Bey, the Turkish charge here, that the patience of the American government is well nigh exhausted. The charge is expected to communicate this information to hia home government speedily. There appeared to be an Impression In the mind of the Turkish statesman that because the president of the United States could not make war without the consent of congress he thereby was estopped from indulging in a naval demonstration to forward his purpose to secure fair treatment for the Americans in Turkey. It is believed that on this point also the Turkish minister was enlightened by Secretary Hay. When Chekib Bey left the state department he evidently was in a state of concern orer what he had heard.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 9. An attempt was made to wreck the Atlantic express on the Union Pacific railroad near Ahsay station, between Rock Springs and Green River. John Utley, station agent at Ahsay, noticing that the lights of the switch were turned the wrong way, started to fix them, when he was fired at from the dark and wounded in the arm. Utley fell to the ground and the would-be train wreckers fled. Utley managed to get to the station .and called up Wilkins, the next station west. The Atlantic express was flagged there and the wreck and probable hold-up was thus prevented. Murder Amused Him. Pender, Neb., Aug. 9. George Four Cloud, a full-blooded Winnebago, aged twenty-five, has been held for the murder of Cora Elk, also a Winnebago, the fourth girl he has killed in two years. He started his career by killing a daughter of Mrs. John Hill, aged eighteen, two years ago. Later he murdered Mary Becora, and Lucy Lebou. He had no reason for killing any of them, but apparently amused himself when intoxicated by murdering young girls. MARKET REPORT Prevailing Prices for Grain and Livestock on Aug. 8.
