AND YOU HAVE SOLD IN A hurV;KEALING THE AGENT To Find Negro Leader for Political Plum. (Palladium Special) WASHINGTON, Sept 11. There is a quiet tip out in Washington that Big Chief Kealing is quietly feeling out the six thousand negro . Republi cans In Indianapolis to find a successor to United Staflies minister H. W. Furmlss at Hayti, when the latter retires, as he will whenever the situation there becomes sufficiently composed to make It possible for Dr. Furmiss to come away. l the right kind of a man, a representative of the negro race, can be found, he will proba bly be appointed. Mr. Kealing will have to find him, as the president is not ' acquainted with local politics. A word from vicePresldent Fairbanks ' would solve the problem 'but he hesitates to make a recommendation, it is said. The administration is' very -grate ful to the six thousand negroes in Marlon county who have stood ' like the Rock of Gibralter for the Republican ticket . when many of their race ' in other parts of the country have forgotten Abraham Lincoln and faltered. If only the right man' can be found in Indianapolis the race will get substantial recognition It is said. ' Kealing is relied-upon to find him. Wanttd to Lump It. At a certain college in Scotland the male students were not allowed to VisIt the resident lady boarders. One day a male student was caught In the act of doing so and was court martialed. The rector, addressing him, said: 'Well, Mr. the penalty for the first offense is 2s 6dM for the second 6s., for the third 7s. 6d., and so on, rising half a crown each time up to 5. In solemn tones the trespasser said: "How much would a season ticket cost? Turned the Tables, ' A drunken man who sought to buy a ticket at a theater box office was denied the privilege."- 4 Zt:fi? Whafs matter?" demanded the applicant "What's matter with me 7' "WUt If you really want to know," "WKAT'S KATTZa WITH MX?" responded the keeper of the box office, you're drunk " The frankness of this reply had 'rather a sobering influence upon the playgoer. He gathered up his money with dignity, - "Of course I'm drunk," he said -cheerfully as lie turned to go. I wouldn't ceme to see

That the threatened strike of shop men on the Ilinois Central and other Harriman lines, together with ' the Chicago & Northwestern, had been effectually forestalled, 1 was the word passed around in Union circles today, following the Fefusal of the international executive board of the machinist's union to O K a walkout. Conferences were on the schedule today, -but the international leaders were said to be unalterably opposed to a strike at this time, although many of the shopmen desire one. The action on the part of the board caused charges of "double cross" on the part of other unions, with the result that there is more or less of a factional fight in progress. "Officials of the new federation ol shopmen on the Illinois Central on which the principal fight is being made declared that there would be no strike unless all the unions walked out together. The full decision of the executive board of the machinists will be announced in Davenport, Iowa, - this week, where the annual convention is being held. The situation on the other Harriman roads and the Chicago & Northwestern is being held in abeyance. A FAITHFUL FRIEND. The Secret of His Loyalty to the Condemned Man.

trustee of. Franklin township to compel him to open up district school No. 8, was against the petitioners for mandate. The court declared that while he

sympathized with the predicament of the petitioners that he could not but follow the statue, and consequently de cided the school' would have to be abandoned for a. year. The decision is state-wide importance, as it places a construction on a much debated statue. '- ' . The ruling was on a demurrer to the complaint for mandate. The petitioners represented that although last year there were less than fifteen students attending the school, that this year there would be nineteen, and therefore, in their judgment, the school should be reopened. They also contended that the school was abandoned during the school vacation and therefore the statue would not be contravened in reopening the school this year. .The technical meaning of the word "abandonment" figured promi nently in the decision.
