LAND1S Arouses the Enthusiasm of the Rei publicans The Richmond Delegation Large The largest crowd that ever attend ed a political gathering in Western Wayne county was present at the opening of the 'Republican campaign in Cambridge City last night. Congressman Charles B. Landis of the ninth Indiana district was the speaker of the evening and his remarks were received by the immense audience, that crowded every square inch of . the Masonic :; Temple, with the utmost enthusiasm. .' , s'rTTia Richmond delegation, including j - o .r o ; who attended in a body, and the Young Men's Republican glee club and bugle and drum corps went to Cambridge City in two special interurbari cars and the residents along the line between Richmond and Cambridge City were aware of the fact that there was "something doing" both coming and going. Mr. Landis was introduced by County Chairman A. M. Gardner. Mr. Landis' remarks were in part as follows: "I believe this is the first time that I have ever had the pleasure of facing a Wayne county audience, but I have long known of the fame and glory of Wayne county. The name is simply synonomous with patriotism and Republicanism. "I suppose you all read Mr. Parker's letter of acceptance. It sound ed to me like a treatise on birds or spring. It also reminded me of the paper I read on the day I graduated from the Logansport high school and that would not have made me president in a thousand years. "I thought that I was something of a political pronosticator, but I don't now. I can't tell whether the Dem ocratic party is a joke or a habit. ln jmhi our uemocratic trienas threw every policy to the winds with the exception of '10 to 1.' You re member the campaign that followed. '16 to 1' was the slogan the battle cry they would have fought and died for. it like the crusaders of old for the holy sepulchre, r our years ago they did the same and branded us as gold bugs, but now now they claim that the gold standard is as ir revocable as fate. My friends, we Republicans never went that bad know. -LUIS JtUi Hie WCUlWinm uuvjvv a silver plank in their plat form and instructed their candidate accordingly, but he gave them the 'electrical' gold treatment and they took it. . Was that honorable and courageous of Mr. Parker? Mr. Bryan said that Mr. Parker received his nomination in a questionable manner. He also says that it was not a courageous thing for him to do and so says every silver Democrat. There is one good thing about Mr. Bryan, he has always been open and above board. I predict that on November 8 Mr. Parker's policy will be given an effectual quietus by the American people. "Alton B. Parker's position re(Continued on Page Four.)

HIDDEN ENEMY FIRES FATAL SHOT JAMES DALTON OF HARRISON TOWNSHIP ASSASINATED Oil THE PUBUC HI6IWAY A Bitter Feud Has Existed for a Long Time Between Well-to-do Farmers. (By Associated Press.l New Albany, Ind., October 1. For more than a vear a feud had existed between the Dalton and Jones families, and it is said the shot that ended Dalton 's life, when he was shot down in broad day light, was fired from the second story of Jones's house. No arrests have been made. but the coroner and the sheriff have been summoned from Corydon and arests will be made today.. About J a year ago Dalton and Jones had j trouble, and Dalton shot Jones.

JUSTICE BRE7ER MAKES MISTAKE

BIGNESS OF THE ST. LOUIS FAIR DAZZLES HIM . ' r TEN ACRES PHILIPPINE LIFE No Fish Exhibit to Compare With ' " the One at the Great Big World's Fair. (Special to" the Palladium.) St. Louis, September 30. In his the address as presiding officer of Universal'-Congress -of Lawyers and Jurists, in session here at the Exposition, Justice David J. Brewer, of the; Uni t ed States Su preme Court, said : There are to be seen twenty acres of Philippine life and not a square rod of constitution. ' ' i Justice Brewer is mistaken. The eminent jurist does violence to the j reputation oiftue legal iratermty ior J accuracy of statement. There are ; forty-seven - acres in . the : Philippine ' reservation, or encampment, constituting the most interesting and instructive expositions of the industrial and ' educational progress Of a race ever brought together by any nation. And Justice Brewer is also in error when he says "not a square rod of constitution" is to be seen. Copies of the constitution- not a squar rod, but all of it may be seen in the Palace of Education and in the j United States Government Building on the hill. Moreover, a copy of that precious document may be seen in the office of Judge Ferris, General Consul for the Exposition, here in the Administration Building. - "Witb these tw-bi corrections "the : statement of Justice Brewer may be said to be substantially correct. The. statement of the eminent jurist is merely another illustration of the inablity of the human mind to grasp this Exposition, to take in its bigness, to comprehend its magnitude, as it were. Over in the building of the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries I met Mr. A. A. Crane, cashier of the National Bank of Commerce, of Minneapolis. He had a camera strapped to his back and gave every evidence of "doing" the Fair intelligently and thoroughly "Well, what do you think of the Exposition?" I inquired. "I have only one criticism to make," he replied. "It is simply too bier for the human mind to grasp or take in. But it is all magnificent." This is the common complaint about the Fair, but it merely emphasizes the importance of intelligent selec tion. It a person comes here tor ten days he must first get a comprehensive idea of what is to be seen and then sit down and quietly determine what he must "cut out." He can ble in a restaurant, lamenting that the Exposition had "No fish exhibit to compare with the one at the Chicago Fair." It turned out that they had seen only the fish, exhibit in the

Mr. Zenas L. Martin superintendent of the Mission work of the American Friends' Board was 'present and delivered a lecture on the work fhf t the board is doing in Cuba and J other island possessions of the Unite J States.

At the present time the b'oird has S4 missionaries in the field wfo are assisted by 193 native helper?. , The different mission stations ate educating 1,716 children and through the religious work about 7.500 children come in contact with the Workings of the missions. Mr. Martin has .visited every mission which the board controls. Mrs. P. W. Stephens,1 secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions read the report of that Board and spoke on the needs of the missions in Mexico. The missionaW ' Mexico spent $S,013,vS2 dur ing the last year. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Goddard of Muncie who visited the different missions in Mexico last year gave a very interesting account of their visit and what they had seen. They were both very much impressed writh the work there and gave , a very earnest appeal to the members of the meeting to do all in their power to assist the people who are working among tne natives oi that county. Mr. John Turner who is a returned missionary of Mexico gave a very interesting account of his work there. He said that the sending of American inventions and of American improvement was a determent to the religious work og.the natives there rather than a help. Mr. Turner sang a Spanish gospel song which pleased the members of the meeting very much. The London General Epistle was read to the Friends at the evening service of the Indiana Yearly Meeting last night. This Epistle is received even- year by the Yearly Meeting and the reading of it is always looked forward to with much interest by the members of the meeting. The Epistle contains general information as to the work done by the London Yearly Meeting and always sends the good wishes of the members of the London meeting to those of the Indiana Meeting. The clerk ordered that it should be printed with the minutes of the meeting and recommended it !to the careful consideration of all , Friends. The committee on Bible : schools made its report and showed j that there is a marked renewed in- j uuicu wiiu in me near luiurtr tnv i Ouarterlv Meeting would make a good sized report as to the condition r,-, , , of the Bible schoojs.
