STOKES JACKSON ' TO BE PETTED AND FONDLED BY MANY

Sixth District Democrats Will Gather in Big Meeting at Greenfield Tomorrow Night To Pay Homage to Leader. THE REV. T. H. KUHN IS ON THE PROGRAM. .Other Gubernatorial Candidates Will Also Be Present And a Big Whoorah Is Expected to Result.' Many Richmond and Wayne county democrats will ko to Greenfield Tuesday night, when the fellow townsmen of Stokes Jackson, will give a banquet there in honor of his election as Democratic state chairman. Many invitations have been issued by Representative Hairy Strickland, who expects to become a candidate for Speaker of the next Indiana Mouse. All of the candidates for governor and other places on the state ticket, members of the committeo and other party warriors have been asked to join with Greenfield in paying tribute to the new leader. The Rev. T. if. Kuhn of this city will be one of the several gubernatorial aspirants to dip his hand in ihe political linger bowl. The topic of his speech has not yet been announced. Jackson proposes to make it very evident at the banquet that he is not controlled by Thomas Taggart or any one else in the Democratic party, but that, it will be his mission to bring about harmony and serve all factions and interests alike. Jackson's neighbors at Greenfield say that if Taggart or any one else figures that be can lead Jackson around and compel him to "come through" on any proposition desired ho vill find that be is dealing with the wrong man. They assert that Jackson is independent of Taggart, and tbat he will devote all his energy to the election of good tickets everywhere. They insist also that Jackson will give the affairs of the committee all ) the attention they require, and that no one will have occasion to say he has not. received a square deal. They declare, too, that there is no more enthusiastic Bryanite in Indiana than Jackson, and that the "peerless one" need have no fear now that his interests will not he guarded. Jackson has claimed the distinction of being the original Bryan man in Indiana, and he asserts that he never wavered in his loyalty to him, even though he was a delegate to the con-1 ventlon that nominated Judge Parker, Chicago passengers using C, C. & L. trains land at 12th street (Illinois Central) Station: most conveniently located.

This picture is from a snapshot of Prof. Paul Milyoukow, leader of the Constitutional Democrats in the Russian Douma, who is now in this country. Prof. Milyoukow declares that a state of civil war still exists in Russia, and that the Douma is doomed to failure, for it cannot voice the sentiments of the populace. ISTER DEFIES TEMPERANCE MAN Says That He at Least Is Not A Hypocrite. Kokomo. Ind., Jan. 20 Assailed iu an open letter by J. S. Butler, a prominent, temperance citizen of Kokomo, in which he is dubbed as a "drunken preacher," the Rev. IS. X. Hamilton, who admits that he drinks and is asking for the Republican nomination Cor prosecutor upon a temperance platform, declares that he is not a "back door Christian." He says that he will not play the hypocrite for office, and while the term "Rev." in the public mind may carry with it. the idea of total abstinence, it need not do so. He says he will not be cowed by moral pretense, and that every man who votes for him will do so with open eyes, and that the electorate has a chance to demonstrate whether it prefers a man who makes an honest confession of his habits or to sustain hypocrites, who do all he does, but conceal their habits of life. He says that in voting the Republican ticket, he does so witli a full consciousness that his party organization stands for a sale of liquor. He says that he defies any person to disprove that a temperance man can not be such without being a total abstainer. He asserts that he would like for the people to cease to be cowed by the blatant dogmatism of Prohibitionists, who assume all the virtue of the case, when in other directions they may be extremely mean and dishonest men.

BOULDERS USED IN CHURCH BUILDING

Most Unique House of Worship in the Richmond Methodist District. NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION Greenfield, Ind., Jan. 20 The most unique church in the Richmond di.v trict of the Northern Indiana Methodist Episcopal Conference will be the Ada New M. E. church in East Greenfield or ' Oklahoma." which is under construction. The foundation and side walls will be entirely of lioulders, picked up on the surrounding farms. Enough boulders to complete the church have been pledged by the farmers and over $1,200 of the $2,700 which the church is to cost is in the hands of the treasurer. The church will be surrounded by a boulder fence with high rock pillars on either side of the driveway leading to- the church. The old English style -will be carried out in the plans for the grounds and the exterior of the church, but the interior will be modern in every particular. Church Is Commodious. The. basement has a natural drainage into Brandywine. The auditorium will have an elevated floor with a seating capacity of over 200. The choir loft will extend the full length of the auditorium with a semi-circular pulpit space and railing. The Sunday school room will have a seating capacity of 100, and a rolling partition will divide it from the audi-, torium. Choir and study rooms have j been provided for and a large vesti-! bule. A bell presented by the old sold-1 iers, veterans of the civil war, will be placed in the tower. It is the aim to complete and dedi cate the church by early spring, when probably one of the poorest communities in this part, of the country will own its up-to-date, novel and handsome church. A STRANGE SENTENCE. Punishment For Murder That Was More Cruel Than Death. In 1801 a man died in the Catskills who had been condemned by one of the strangest sentences on record. Ralph Sutherland was born in 1701 and : lived In a stone house near Leeds. He was a man of violent temper and morose disposition, shunned by his neigh bors and generally disliked. Not be- j ing able to get an American servant, he imported a Scotchwoman, and. according to the usages of the times, virtually held her in bondage until her passage money had been refunded. Unable to endure any longer the raging temper of her master, the girl ran away. Immediately upon discovering her absence the man set off in an angry chase upon his horse and soon overtook her. The poor woman never reached the house alive, and Sutherland was indicted and arrested on the charge of murder. At the trial he tried to prove that his horse had taken fright, run away, pitched him out of the saddle and dashed the girl to death upon the rocks, but the jury did not accept the defense, and Sutherland was sentenced to die upon the scaffold. Then came the plea of the insufficiency of circumstantial evidence and the efforts of influential relatives. These so worked upon the court that the judge delayed the sentence of death until the prisoner should be ninety-nine years old. It was ordered that the culprit should be released on his own recognizance and that, pending the final execution of his sentence, he should keep a hangman's noose about his neck and show himself before the judges of Catskill once a year to prove that he wore his badge of infamy and kept his crime in mind. It was a more cruel decision than the sentence of immediate death would have been, but it was no doubt in harmony with the spirit of the times. Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He always lived alone. He seldom spoke. His rough, imperious manner had gone. Tears followed years. At each session of the court the broken roan came before the bar of justice and silently showed the noose that circled his neck. At last his ninety-ninth year came, the time when the court had ordered that the utmost penalty of the law should be executed. For the last time the man tottered before the judge's bench, but new judges had arisen in the land, new laws had been made, old crimes had been forgotten or forgiven, aud there was none who would accuse him or execute sentence. Indeed, the awful restriction that had bound his life so intimately to the expiation of his crime was now legally removed. But the spirit of self punishment continued, and when Sutherland, after he had passed his hundredth year, was discovered dead, alone in his house, his throat was found to be encircled by the rope which had been placed there nearly three-quarters of century before. A Vacation. A certain scientist In tue service of Uncle Sam at Washington is said to be a hard taskmaster to both bis official and his domestic servants. Being detailed once to accompany a scientific expedition on an extended cruise, the scientist is said to have unbent a trifle in communicating the news to his personal attendant. "Henry," said he, "how would you like to go with me around the world?" "Do we go from east to west, sir?" asked the man. "Yes." "And we lose a day goisghat way, do we not, sir?" "We do." "Then, sir, I shouVi like very much to go. It would givj me a day off." Harper's Week!.

Congregations of the Methodist Episcopal churches of the city are becoming interested in the annual conference of Northern Indiana ministers, which will be held at Anderson the first week in April. , At this meeting changes will probably be made in the pastors of the Richmond district. At the quarterly conferences the congregations will consider the recall of the respective pastors. Any action that might be taken at the conference would have its greatest effect, on the Rev. John Campbell, pastor of the Fifth Street church and candidate for congress. He could not change his residence from this district and continue as its representative if he should be elected to serve as the Sixth districts representative in congressional halls. now fast ne i.ina uto.

INDIANS GET TIRED OP OKLAHOMA RULE Tribal Legislature Called Meet in Defiance. to Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 20 The Indian, and especially the full-blooded Indian, is finding it difficult to content himself with the change from his own tribal government to that imposed by statehood. As a result, among several of the Oklahoma tribes a disposition is being shown to maintain tribal relations and in defiance of state government to proceed along the old lines. Statehood means the elimination of communal interests, the dethroning of the tribal chiefs, the abolishment of tribal legislatures, and the abandonment of all customs and ceremonies which tradition has brought down to them through centuries. - The Indian had often thought that is, the Oklahoma Indian that it would become possible some day for him to establish an Indian state, a statewhere the Indians would be in the majority, where they could elect their own people to govern them and be able to show to the world the real Indian statesmanship. With making Indian Territory a portion of the State of Oklahoma, this dream of an Indian state had to vanish, and from this dream the Indian has awakened to find himself placed on the same footing as the white man with whom he must compete.

The convention will convene at l' o'clock, with President John Mitchell as the presiding officer.

President -Mitchell arrived in Indianapolis yesterday evening from bis home at Spring Valley. 111. He is recovering from a serious illness. Vice President T. L. Lewis, who for tho last three weeks has been engaged in visiting the different coal fields wher" his presence was demanded to set tie small local disturbances, arrived in Indianapolis yesterday morning and will be busy night and dav until the convention convenes preparing his report and arranging numerous details Is: connection with the getiiering. Secretary w. IS. Wilson, who is a member of congress from one of the lVuns Ivania districts, is not expected to i rive until Monday. Lewis and Wilson are rival candidates for the presidency of hie organisation and these men. together with President Mitchell, will likely b,. the most conspicuous figures in the convention. President Mitchell to Retire. The convention this year will be ore of tile most important meetings of the miners ever held. It will mark the retirement of President. Mitchell from the high office he has held in the organization for many years. The convention will also be important from the fact that no interstate convention for the fixing of a wage scale has et been agreed on and the delegates will look forward eagerly to the conference on Jan. 30. when it will be decided as to what shall be done about calling a wage convention. This conference will be participated in by miners and ojerators from the central competitiv i field. The fact that the Illinois operators made known at the last convention in this city that they were in favor ot a joint convention, but preferred a meeting with the representatives front Ohio and Indiana rnther than with those from Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana, may complicate the situation in re-establishing an interstate movement as it formerly existed. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAX ATI VK BROMO Quinine Tablets.
