SHHUEI BUSY l Sign- Hung Out at HeadquartersRichmond in List To Hear Taft. OVER STREET IS LUCKY. HIS OPPONENT WEAK AND CHAN CES FAVOR HIS ELECTION ALTHOUGH HE CARRIES STIGMA OF MARION COUNTY SCANDALS. (Special" Correspondence.) Indianapolis, Aug. 31. The "get busy" sign Is out at republican state headquarters, and before ten days shall hare rolled by something definite will be known as to the nature of the dose of stump speaking that Indiana is to have for the campaign. Inquiries are still pouring in for Taft It looks as though he is to be a mighty popular card and it is already certain that he will be unable to fill a fiftieth part of the dates that are asked from all over the state. The speakers' bureau is awaiting his final answer as to the exact time that the nominee will be able to give to Indiana, and when thi9 answer is forthcoming the assignments will be quickly made. It is said that he will make several speeches in the state, and the bureau has picked upon a few cities that are to be favored, but nothing Is being said about this, nor will anything be given, out until Taft is ready. As stated before, Richmond is in the list of cities that are to be favored. Overstreet has Horse Shoes. A number of politicians were talking the, other day about lucky men in the game. One of them remarked that- Jesse Overstreet, congressman rora the seventh district, has them all eaten when it comes to luck. Four Wears ago there was Btrong opposition to-him,, and there were many who de clared that he could never carry the district. But he got In behl the Roosevelt procession and went through wth flying colors. This year there Is again strong opposition to fdm In some directions and he also ttas? the, Marion county scandals load jo carry. So heavy is the' latter that rcany wagers have been made that i&e republicans will not carry the dbunty, and the betting has been at ;ven money, too. But Overstreet is (the lucky one.' The democrats, with a chance to win by putting forward a strong man, got Into the entanglements of the machine and the nomination of young Bernard Corbaly. was the result Corbaly has practically nothing to recommend him, and the democratic leaders are admitting that his. selection was a big mistake. But It will make the sailing easy for Overstreet and there are few acquainted with the situation who do not frankly concede be they democrats or republicans that Overstreet will carry the district There was a strong undercurrent for the nomination of Judge James Gavin, who would have put up a strong fight, but the machine would have none of him. Judge Gavin made no effort for the honor, but he was available and would have taken the nomination if given to him. But the machine turned to Corbaly and now Overstreet is just laughing. Yes, he Is the lucky one, and no mistake. THE CITY IN BRIEF

CHAUTAUQUA IS BROUGET TO END WITH 0RAT0R1AL (Continued From Page One.) ished; Clark was rough-hewn and gruff. He always appears on the platform in the same old baggy trousers, light-stripped vest and ulster coat. The collar resembles the statesmanlike cut worn by Daniel Webster. The tie is of the white ministerial style. Every now and then Clark raises his vest and forces his chubby hand a little way down into his trouser-pocket which opens on the top instead of the Bide. Champ Clark doesn't care what the world thinks or says of him and just as frankly he speaks his mind about it. He compared the temperance sentiment of today with the prevailing intemperance of fifty years ago. In his dream of the twentieth century there will be no -aloons. Clark has even reformed himself. By exact count he has not taken a drink in four years, three months and twenty-six days. He Is on the water wagon to stay he says. Clark claims statemen are getting better too. Politicians are watched now. They grew bad because people were so busy chasing the dollar that they paid no attention to them. The Mlssourian has no patience with the man who doesn't vote." Every citizen who stays away from the general elections twice In succession ought to be disenfranchised for life. But I wouldn't mind If a million republicans stayed away from the polls just once." Gambling is going, too, along with all the other evils. The twentieth century will be a very respectable age in which to live according to Clark. The Missourlan is out "showing" the people that they are really better than they think they are. Reading Was Concluded. Montaville Flowers finished his reading of "Ben Hur" to a big audience yesterday afternoon. In the opinion of hundreds there has been given in the whole Chautauqua progran no finer number. "To get again the thread of his story which was interrupted by the Powers lecture Friday night, Mr. Flowers re-read the "shepherd scene" on the night the Christ was born, the scene between Ren Hur and Messala on the roof of Ben Hur's house in Jerusalem and the conversation at the Orchard of Palms when Ben Hur engaged the horses. Mr. Flowers next entered upon the scene for which the audience had long been waiting the famous chariot race. Following the words of the author Flowers worl; up the scene until, in representation of Ben Hur, he leaned forward -writhed the lash above the backs of the Arabs, caught the wheel of Messala's chariot with his iron-shod axle, crushed it and then triumphantly, calling to the horses in the old Arabic took the course home as victor.

Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it: Mrs. F. Heater, of 607 North Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "My son, while working one day wrenched his back and believing it had affected his kidneys he got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills from A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. After taking a few doses the pain disappeared and he believes Doan's Kidney Pills a fine remedy, for backache." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

The utter stupidity of sheep Is perhaps nowhere more strongly evidenced than in the perfect satisfaction with which a ewe that has lost her lamb will take to a strange lamb around which has been fastened the skin of her dead offspring. Considering that the skin of the dead lamb is often merely thrown loosely over the back of the living lamb, sometimes banging almost to the ground on one side or the other and making the lamb appear the quaintest kind of animal Imaginable, the ewe's gullibility in this respect is remarkable. There can be no other explanation of her satisfaction than that she really thinks the muffled little stranger is her own progeny; otherwise she would give it no attention whatever. Its appearance does'not seem to count, nor even its voice. Its smell Is everything, which may be seen in any flock of ewes and lambs, for while the mothers certainly appear to know the bleating of their wn children, the identification is always completed by the ewe sniffing the coat of her lamb. I have been looking at two such quaint families in the lambing pens recently, and the picture of a sedate ewe placidly attending to two weird little creatures which look as If they have been half flayed (one of them was actually (ris;inz its second skin in the strawy the most comical stndy of animal stupidity which could be imagined. London Express. Beauty and 'the Beast. "How do yon do, Mrs. VennsT exclaimed a gentleman of that lady's acquaintance. "Pray, what brings you out so early In the day?" "Oh, I've Just been to the photographer with my pet pug Pongo" (which she carried in her arms), "and we have had our portraits taken together, haven't we, Pongo? Beauty and the beast, you know, Mr. Johnson," with a saucy little langh. "And what a little beauty he is, to be sure." replied Johnson Inadvertently as he tenderly stroked poor Fougo"s cranium. And then he suddenly remembered and became hot and cold In turn, and t!Uef parted strangers tareTerox"

AMERICANS ARE HOT UNGRATEFUL Admiral Sperry Expresses Himself as Appreciative Of Foreign Reception.

JACKIES WENT TO CHURCH. MARCHED THROUGH STREETS OF MELBOURNE BEHIND BANDS CONNECTICUT'S CHAPLAIN DELIVERED SERMON. Melbourne, Monday, August 31. Rear Admiral Sperry, commander of the American fleet, expressed himself as highly appreciative of the warm welcome extended to himself and his men both at Sydney and Melbourne. All are looking forward with pleasure to the coming week, of which this is the official landing day. Sunday was set down on the program as a "free day," nothing in the way of formal entertainments having been arranged, but nevertheless those who came ashore from the warships managed to spend some enjoyable hours driving and sightseeing. Seventeen military trains arrived yesterday morning from the country, bringing Into Melbourne a large body of cavalry, which will participate in the grand review, Thursday. Twenty-five hundred men of the ships were given shore leave yesterday, of which 1,000 marched through Collins street to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where Pontifical mass was held at noon. The American blue-jackets and marines were preceded by 2,000 cadets, and a number of bands were in the procession. After the services the men were served with lunch in the Cathedral hall. Special cervices were held in all the Protestant churches, and later the Melbourne Automobile Club, in 100 cars, took the officers of the fleet to view the points of interest in the city and suburbs. There were comparatively few visitors to the warships owing to the distance the vessels are lying from shore, but those who made the trip were enthusiastic in their expressions of admiration for the beauty and powerful appearance of the American men-of-war. The pulpit of St. Patrick's Cathedral was occupied last night by Rev. Father Gleeson, chaplain of the Connecticut, and the congregation overflowed the edifice. Services in the other churches were again well attended. FACULTY MEMBERS Earlham College Instructors Expected in the City Within Next Few Days. FOOTBALL TEAM PROSPECT Members of the Earlham College faculty have begun to arrive in the city preparatory to taking up their work for the school year. Probably more interesting than the arrival of the faculty members is the announcement the Quakers expect to have a strong football team this season. A number of old players will return and as it will be Coach Vail's second year he will be in better position to take up the work than a year ago. Prof. Lindley, who has been in the service of the State Library department, has been traveling over the country hunting up various historical points, especially those that bear relation to the history of Indiana. Prof. Hole, of the engineering department who has been in Colorado during the summer in the employ of the U. S. Government survey is expected to arrive in the city the latter part of this week. During the summer he has been assisted by Louis Millard, superintendent of schools at Greensfork, and WT. W. Lindsley of New London, and each of these two men have received three credits from the college for the work performed this summer". WEATHER WAS MILD. Kind That Makes "Vacationists" Stay at Home. The weather report that has just been completed by Observer Vossler at the water works pumping station show that during last week there were four clear days, twr partly cloudy and one partly hazy. The highest temperature for the week was 93 which was on Saturday and the minimum for the week was on Friaay when mercury was down to 4S degrees.

GBi.ua. .CROSSINGS ARE UNDER FIRE

Supt. Neff Says His Division Is Exception and Is Well Guarded. A LETTER IS RECEIVED. RAILROAD COMMISSION TRYING TO ELIMINATE CAUSE FOR SO MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS IN THIS STATE. Local railroad officials have received letters from the Indiana railroad commission which contain important matter concerning the gradeVrossings i and the need of greater precaution on the part of the railroads. In it the officials of the divisions of the roads are urged to take greater precautions to prevent the loss of life from accidents. It is directed that the roads make a more systematic effort to keep trespassers oft the ri$ht of way. It also asks for a more general use of warning signals at railroad crossings as in this way it is hoped to cut down tha fatality list. Supt. Xeff of the Richmond division or the P.. C. C. & St. L. lines stated that in this respect his road is immune cs at every cross-j in? mere 13 the cross arm warning signal and that there is less trespassing and fewer accidents than on any othpr division cf the road. The state commission is making efforts to have laws passed by which tao Rrado crossing will b- eliminated The body has been . : rking for some time on this problem a;:d in the circular it states that 173 :r:?ons were killed last year for trespassing on railroads. The circular continues by saying that the railroads are not directly responsible as usually the accidents are the result of carelessness. The conclusions of the circular states "we recommend and direct that you shall seek the co-operation of the local authorities using this circular if advisable after placing warnings referred to and that you advise the commission of the results of your efforts to that end so we may use our official influence to aid you in any case where local authorities refuse to inforce the law. You will take this most important matter up at once and advise us as indicated." THIEVES WERE BOYS Mystery Surrounding Robbery At Liberty Solved by Marshal Yesterday. YOUNGSTERS CONFESSED. Liberty, Ind., Aug. 31. A series of Tetty thieving extending over a period of ten weeks, which has bsen mystifying the local police, was explained yesterday by the capture of the offenders In the act of robbing the grocery store of T. E. Lockridge. On three previous occasions Mr. Lockridge's place of business had been robbed, the marauders helping themselves to the cash left in the money drawers, taking but little, if any merchandise. These robberies were kept very quiet and the place carefully watched, but no clue was obtained until three weeks ago yesterday, when the store was entered during the day and the cash stolen. Acting on the theory that the robbers would repeat their Sunday visit, Marshal Line secreted himself in the store at an early, hour yesterday morning, and about eleven a. m., was rewarded by their appearance, and they were caught in the act They proved to be young boys, Fred Wallace and Glen Annis, both about twelve years of age, and confessed they had committed the entire series of robberies against Lockridge, gaining admission through a broken ventilator in the alley to the rear of the building to the cellar, and from there to the store room. The case will probably go before Judge Gray's Juvenile court, being the first case of the kind in this county.

CATHERINE THE GREAT. An Odd Woman YVaa This EmprMi of tiie Hoaalans. A recent writer says of Catherine the Great, empress of Itussia from the year 1702 to 1798: ' She rose at 6 and lit her own fire. Her table was ideally simple. From the reproach of overeating and overdrinking she was free. Though she could not sins a note, she and Prince Dashkoff, who could sing no better, occasionally performed in a concert. A suddrn burst of the most exalted and ridiculous discordant tones was the consequence, one seconding the other, with scientific shrugs and all the solemu, self complacent airs and grimaces of musicians. From this perhaps she passed to a cat concert 'and Imitated the purring of a cat in the most droll and ludicrous manner, noways taking :; to add appropriate, "half comic. L.uf sentimental words, which she invented for the occasion, or else, spitting like a cat in a passion, with her back up, she suddenly boxed the first jterson in her way, making up her hand into a paw and mewing outrageously." When playing wtlst one night Catherine could not get her page to answer the bell. "After she hud rung twice, again without effect, she left the room, looking daggers, and did not reappear for a considerable time. The company supposed that the unfortunate page was destined to Siberia or at least the knout. As a matter of fact, Catherine on entering the antechamber found the page, like his betters, busy at whist. "When the bell rang he happened to have so Interesting a hand that he could not make op his mind tr juit it Now, what did the empress do? She dispatched the page on her errand and then quietly sat down to hold his cards until he should return." The French of It. "Why do you call It a French opera?"
