HAIILY CAIiBIOACY IS VERY AMUSING This Is So Because Anti-saloon League Says It Is Non-partisan.

BEVERIDGE VERY STRONG REPUBLICAN CAUCUS WILL SELECT HIM TO SUCCEED HIMSELF AND THE LEGISLATURE WILL ELECT HIM. Indianapolis, July 13. The story about J. Frank Hartly becoming the candidate of the Anti-Saloon league for United States senator from Indiana in opposition to Senator Beverldge has caused considerable amusement In political circles, because of the fact that the Anti-Saloon league boasts of the fact, that it is a strictly nonpolitical, non-partisan body composed of men of all parties and all creeds. This lias been the strength of the AntiSaloon league, and there is no question but that so hng as the league ' follows this line of policy and remains out of politics it will continue to be strong. ' Nowhere in the state is there the slightest indication that there will be any opposition to Senator Beverldge to his own party when the time comes to elect his successor. He will be chosen by the republican legislative caucus to succeed himself, and if the legislature is republican he will be elected. This seems to be generally accepted as the fact. Fight Prohibition. The Anti-Saloon league is going to try to keep both of the old parties from adopting any prohibition plank In their platform. E S. Shumaker, state superintendent of the league and R. C. Mlnton, attorney for the league, both say that this is the intention of that- body and that they hope both old parties will keep down any mention of prohibition in their platforms. The league does not want the question made -one of party politics. An effort . will. be made to have the next legislature pass a law forbidding the manufacture or sale of Intoxicating liquors within the state. This, if it passes, will mean prohibition, of course, but the league wishes the law enacted not as a party measure but on moral grounds. It believes the bill will have a much better chance of getting through' the legislature if neither party ! declares, for or against It than if the questioo Is Injected In to party politics. . In fact, the league wishes to stay out of politics entirely in accordance with its'constitutional policy. Hanly'a Chances. If Hanly were to be elected United . States senator it would have to be by a combination of republican and democratic votes on an Anti-Saloon league basis, and the league says it la not in politics. The league assists In the election of members of the legislature on whom it can depend to support its efforts to wipe out the , liquor traffic. But that is as far as it goes: -There were a number of members of the last legislature who owed their election to the Anti-Saloon league support, and these members stood by the league on all temperance legislation; But when it came to a matter of party policy or party politics they stood by their party through thick and thin. And it will be bo in the next session, it ts pointed' out Members elected through the support of the Anti-Saloon league will support the league's anti-liquor policy, but when It comes to a matter of party policy where a United States senator is to be elected they will stick to party, rnwfi 11 ft a t ViAf la miirh vn 4.1.rfvj4 v- f ao u uvu Hi V3 l.tTUlTCU In the United States senatorship than the liquor question. It is not believed that the Anti-Saloon league will art any member of the legislature to vote for Hanly or any other candidate for United States senator. To do so would be to violate all of its policies of non-partisan activity. , . Hanly Is in Bad. Hanly is in bad with the republicans throughout the state, for the manner in which he slaughtered the party last fall. He still claims to be a republican and he is a republican on all of the political questions, just as he always has been and it is not believed here that he would jump into the fight for. United States senator just at tais time, when it is plainly apparent that the party throughout the state stands solidly at the back of Senator Beverldge because of his great fight in congress in favor of a downward revision Of the tariff.

(CTS HUNTING Jjy PECCAMY THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Copyright, VtSi. by G. P. Putnam Sons, Published under arrangement with G. P. Putnam's Sons, New Tork and London. 1 N the United States the peccary is only found in the southernmost corner of Texas. In April. 1802, I made a flying visit to the ranch country of this region, starting from the town of Uvalde with a Texan friend, Mr. John Moore. My trip being very hurried, I bad but a couple of days to devote to bunting. Our first halting-place was at a ranch on the Frio; a low, wooden building, of many rooms, with open galleries btwe.eTjbem, and, veran.das round about. The country was in some respects like, in others strangely unlike, the northern plains with which I was so well acquainted. It was for the most part covered with a scattered growth of tough, stunted mesquite trees, not dense enough to be called a forest, and yet sufficiently close to cut off the view. H was very dry, even as compared with the northern plains. The bed of the Frio was filled with coarse gravel, and for the most part dry as a bone on the surface, the water seeping through underneath, and only appearing in occaeional deep holes. These deep holes or ponds never fail, even after a year's drouth; they were filled with fish. One lay quite near the ranch house, under a bold rocky bluff; at its edge grew giant cypress trees. There had been many peccaries., or, as the Mexicans and cowpunchers of the border usually call them, javalinas, round this ranch a few years before the date of my visit. Until JS86, or thereabouts, these little wild hogs were not much molested, and abounded in the dense chnparral around the lower Rio Grande. In that ypnr. however, it was suddenly discovered that their hides had a market value, being worth four bits that, is, half a dollar apiece; and many Mexicans and not a few shiftlees Texans went into the business of hunting them as a means of livelihood. They were more easily killed than deer, and, as a result, they were speedily exterminated in many localities where they i had formerly been numerous, and even where they were left were to be found only in greatly diminished numbers. On this particular Frio ranch Jhe last little band had been killed nearly a year be: fore. There were three of them,' a boar and two sows, and a couple of the cowboys stumbled on them early one morning while out with a dog. After half a mile's chase the three peccaries ran into a hollow pecan tree, and one of the cowboys, dismounting, improvised a lance by tying his knife to the end of a pole, and killed them all. Many anecdotes were related to me of what they had done in the old days when they were plentiful on the ranch. I spent two days hunting round this ranch, but saw no peccary sign whatSow no peccary $lgn, although deer were plentiful. ever, although deer were quite plentiful. :-.... Having satisfied myself that there were no javallnaa left 'on the Frio ranch, and being nearly at the end of my holiday, I was about to abandon the effort to get any, when a passing cowman happened to mention the fact that jsome were still, to be. found on Taaa wk, linMnrjrat aaed OB.

me STuecea' Biver thirty mile's or tuereabouts to the southward. Thither I determined to go, and next. morning Moore and I started in a buggy drawn by a redoubtable horse, named Jim Swinger, which we were allowed to use because he . bucked so under the saddle that nobody on the ranch could ride him. We drove six or seven hours across the dry, waterless plains. In the valley of the Nueces itself the .brush grew thick. There were great groves of pecan trees, and evergreen live-oaks stood in manv places, lung, wina-snaken tufts of gray moss hanging from their limbs. ; Many of the trees in the wet spots were of giant size, and the whole landscape was semi-tropical in character. Hgh on a bluff shoulder overlooking the course of the river was perched the ranch house, toward which we were bending our steps; and here we were received with the hearty hospitality characteristic of the ranch country everywhere. The son of the ranchman, a tall, well-built young fellow, told3-me at once that there were peccaries in the neighborhood, and that he had himself shot one but two or three days before, and volunteered to lend us horses and pilot us to the game on the morrow, with the help of his two dogs. The last were big black curs with, as we were assured, "considerable hound" in them. One was at the time staying at the ranch house, the other was four or five miles off with a Mexican goat-herder, and it was arranged that early in the morning we should ride down to the latter place, taking the first dog with us and procuring his companion when we reached the goat-herder's house. We started after breakfast, riding powerful cow-ponies, well trained to gallop at full speed through the dense chaparral. The big black hound slouched at our heels. We rode down the bank,s of the Nueces, crossing and recrosslng the stream. Here and there were long, deep pools in the bed of the river, where rushes and lilies grew and huge mailed garfish swam slowly just beneath the surface of the water. Once my two companions stopped to pull a mired cow out of a slough, hauling with ropes from their saddle horns. In places there were half-dry pools, out of the regular current of the river, the water green and fetid. The trees were very tall and large. The streamers of pale gray moss hung thickly from the branches of the live-oaks, and when many trees thus draped stood close together they bore a strangely mournful and desolate look. We finally found the queer little hut of the Mexican goat-herder in. the midst of a grove of giant pecans. On the walls were nailed the skins of different boasts, raccoons, wildcats, and the tree-civt, with its ringed tail. The Mexican's brown wife and children were in the hut, but the man himself and the goats were off in the forest, and it took us three or four hours' search before we found him. Then it was nearly noon, and we lunched in his hut, a square building of split logs, with bare earth floor, and roof of, clap-boards and bark. Our lunch consisted of goat's meat and pan de ma is. The Mexican, a broad-chested man with a stolid Indian face, was evidently quite a sportsman, and had two or three half-starved hounds, besides the funny hairless little house dogs, of which Mexicans seem so fond. Having borrowed the javalina hound of which we were in search, we rode off in quest of our game, the two dogs trotting gayly ahead. The one which had been living at the ranch had evidently fared well, and was very fat: the other was little else but skin and bone, but as alert and knowing as any New York street-boy, with the same air of disreputable capacity. It was this bound which always did most in finding the javalinas and bringing them to bay, his companion's chief use being to make a noise and lend the moral support of bis presence. We rode away from the river on the dry uplands, where the timber,- though thick, was small, consisting almost exclusively of the thorny mesquites. Mixed among them were prickly pears, standing as high as our heads on horseback, and Spanish bayonets, looking in the distance like small palms; and there were many other kinds of cactus, all with poisonous thorns. 'Two or three times the dogs got on an old trail and rushed off giving tongue, whereat we galloped madly after them, ducking and dodging through and among the clusters of spine-bearing trees and cactus, not without getting n considerable number of thorns in our hands and legs. It was very dry and hot. Where the javalinas live in droves In the river bottoms they often drink at the pools; but when some distance from water they seem to live quite comfortably on the prickly pear, slaking their thirst by eating its hard. Juicy fibre. At last, after several false alarms, and gallops which led to nothing, when It lacked but an hour of sundown we struck a band of five of the little wild hogs. They were running oft through the mesquites with a peculiar hopping or bounding motion, and we all, dogs and men. tore after them Instantly. Peccaries are very fast for a few hundred yards, bpt speedily tire, lose their wind, and come to bay. Almost Immediately one of these, a sow, as it turned out. wheeled and charged at Moore as he passed. Moore never seeing her, bat keeping on after another. The sow then stopped and stood still, chattering her teeth savagely, and I Jumped off my horse and dropped her dead with a shot In the spine, over the shoulders. Moore meanwhile had dashed off after Ms pig in one direction, and killed the little beast with a ihot from the ssjddle when it had tome to bay, turning and going straight at hjjn. .wo 0 the. peccaries

go't off; the remaining one," a rather large boar, was followed by-the two dogs, and as soon as I had tilled the now I leaped again on my horse and made after them, guided by the yelping and baying. In less than a quarter of a mile they, were on bis haunches, and he wheeled and stood under a bush, charging at them when they came near him, and once catching one, inflicting an ugly cut All the while his teeth kept going like castanets, with a rapid champing sound. I ran close up and 1 Hied him by a shot through the backbone where it joined the neck. His tusks were fine. The few minutes chase on horseback was great fun, and there was a certain excitement In seeing the fierce little creatures come to bay; but the true w ay to kill these peccaries would "be with the spear. They could often be speared on horseback, and where this was Impossible, by using dogs to bring them to bay they could readily be killed on foot; though, as they are

Dropped her dead with very active, absolutely fearless, and inflict a most formidable bite, it would usually be safest to hare two men go at one together. Feccaries are not difficult beasts to kill, because their short wind and their pugnacity make them come to bay before hounds so quickly. Two or three good dogs can bring to a halt a herd of considerable size. They then all stand in a bunch, or else with their sterns against a bank, chattering their teeth at their antagonists. When angry and at bay, they get their legs close together, their shoulders high, and their bristles all ruffled, and look the -very, incarnation of 'auger,,jand they fight with reckless indifference to the very last. Hunters usually , treat them with a certain amount of caution; but, as a matter of fact, I know of but one case where a man was' hurt by them. He had shot at and . wounded one. was charged both by it and by its two companions, and started to climb a' tree; but as be drewy himself from the ground, one sprang at him and bit him through the calf, inflicting a very severe wound. I ' have known of several cases of horses being cut, however," and dogs' are very commonly killed. Indeed, a dog new to the business is almost certain to get very badly scarred, and no dog that hunts Bteadily can escape without some injury. If it runs in right at the heads of the animals, the probabilities are that it will get killed; and, as a rule, even two good-sized hounds cannot kill a peccary, though it is no larger than either of them. However, a wary, resolute, hffrd-bitlng dog of good size speedily gets accustomed to the chase, and can kill a peccary single-handed, seizing it from behind and worrying it to death, or watching Its chance and grabbing it by the back of the neck. where it joins the head. . . r Peccaries have delicately moulded short legs, and their feet are small, the tracks looking peculiarly dainty in consequence. Hence, they do cot swim well, though they take to the water if necessary. They feed on roots, prick ly pears, nuts, insects, lizards, etc. They usually , keep entirely separate from the droves of half-wild swine that are' so often found in the same neighborhoods; but in one case, on this very ranch where I was staying, a peccary deliberately - joined a party of nine pigs and associated with them. When the owner of the pigs came up to .; them -one day the peccary, manifested great suspicion at his presence, and finally sidled close up and threat ened to attack him, so that-he had to shoot It i The ranchman's son told me that he had never but once had a peccary assail him unprovoked, and' even In this case it was his dog that was the object .of attack, the peccary , rushing out as It followed him home one evening through , the ; chaparral. Even around this " ranch the peccaries had very greatly decreased in numbers, anu the survivors were learning some caution. In the old days it had been no uncommon thing for a big band to attack entirely of their own accord, and keep a hunter up a tree for hours at a time.

IANA PEOPLE AUTOMOBILE MAD This Is Shown by Figures in The Office of Secretary Of State. MANY BUYING MACHINES DURING THE PAST THREE MONTHS OVER TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED LICENSES ISSUED TO : NEW OWNERS. Indianapolis, July 13. The people of Indiana are automobile mad, as is shown by the figures at the office of the secretary of state as to the number of machines sold during the three months from April 1 to July 1. These figures show that the secretary of state issued 2,501 automobile licenses during those three months. In the first eight days of this month he Issued 240 licenses, an average of 31 a day. This makes a total of 3,200 automobile licenses issued from the first of April to the ninth of July. Of course, not all of these were new machines, but it is said that the proportion of second hand machines sold in the state and included in these figures was small.. When a person buys a machine, no matter whether it be a new one or an old one, he is required by law to take out an automobile license before he is allowed to run the thing in the state. The Average Price. It is estimated that the average price paid for an automobile in this state is at least $1,500. But when you consider the number of second hand machines sold in the state lor an average price of much less than that it is safe to figure that the average pries for all of the 3,200 will be at least $1,000 each. This makes a total of $3,200,000 which people in Indiana spent for automobiles during the 100 days embraced in the time mentioned. This is $32,000 a day. In the same length of time last year the records show that 1,550 automobile licenses were issued. Therefore, the automobile sales this year are practically double what they were last year. It is said that most of the machines that are being sold now in Indiana are being sold to farmers. It appears to have become a fad for the well-to-do farmer to have his automobile, and this ' is especially true 'of the farmer who retires from active farm work and moves to town to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He almost invariably has his automobile to run back and forth to "the place." Farmers Extravagant. Whether all of this indicates that farmers are becoming extravagant or whether it means that they are more than an ordinarily prosperous is a question, but it 1b a fact that millions of dollars will be spent by Indiana farmers this year for automobiles. At the office of the secretary of state it is said that nearly all of the sales of automobiles this year are made for cash. In some cases notes are taken for the purchase price, but these are said to be rare cases. The dealers do not have to sell the machines on credit. They can sell all they can get for cash, for the automobile factories are being worked to the limit of capacity, and still they are not able to turn out the machines fast enough to supply the demand. Therefore it is cash that talks in the automobile business, not credit. There are now about 12,300 automobiles in use in Indiana, as shown by the records in the office of the. secretary of state.

THIEF WAS CAUGHT Local Dentists Will Be Happy Over Capture at Shelbyville. WORKED THIS VICINITY Local dentists will rejoice at the capture of a thief at Shelbyviile who is believed to be the man who has met with such success in pilfering offices in this vicinity. The man who gives the name of Johnson had in his possession a bunch of about twenty skeleton keys, when arrested. With these keys he would be able to gain entrance to practically any office. , It will be remembered that two or three local dental offices have been visited within the past year and robbed of gold foil and finished work which contained gold. Offices at Muncle, Portland, Eaton, Hamilton, Columbus, Rushville, Shelbyviile and several other ' cities in this section have been robbed and in each case the thief secured entrance by means of a skeleton key. Johnson was Identified by a colored porter, who saw him on the streets of Shelbyviile. The porter saw the man enter the office, of a Shelbyviile dentist about a year ago and It developed later he had ran sacked the office. Khei
