Mayor Forkoer of Anderson, who has been Huirgeated as a oaudidate for governor of Indiana, admits frankly that he does not expeot hie party to oarry the state at the next election. Mr. Forkner has no monopoly of that kind of opinion. Some of the political prophets among the Democrats are assuming that there is trouble in the Republican ranks in Ohio that will endanger the Republican party in the state. The obanoes are a thousand to one that not one of these so-called prophets believes anything of the sort. The Democrats might as well think of carrying Indiana.

The belief is beooming quite general that Hon. J. Frank Hanley of Lafayette will beoome a candidate for Governrr. Io response to an inquiry from a representative of the Enterprise at Fowler Tuesday, he said he had given the subjeot some consideration, but was not ready to make any announcement of bis intentions. Mr. Hanley has been very ill,, wbioh preoludee his mixing in politics at present, but with the reoovery of health, add the oloaing up of important oourt matters, he will have opportunity to discuss the matter with his, friends and learn their wishes, and then have ample time to announce his deoieios.—Kenthmd Enterprise

His Last Hope Realized(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.) In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1839, the editor of this paper was amogg the many seekers after fortune who made the big raoe one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, be enoouat9red muob bad water, whioh, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrheoea whioh it seemed almost impossible to oheck, and along in June the oase became so bad he expeoted to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea. Rem. edy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on tbs ground ip great agony, , and in a few minutes the dose, was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon notio -d and with in an hoar the patient was taking his ii ot sound sleep for a fortnight, That one l'ttle bottle worked a complete 'ire, aadb» cannot help but f j e! gjfct > r ul.

Carnegie Library Building.

Editor Republican: _ , What is the occasion for a legal opinion by thirteen (unlucky) Lawyers of this oity, who say "they are interested in the establishment of a Public Library”? Unless they want to throw cold water upon the offer of Hon. Andrew Carnegie to erect a library building for the oity of Rensselaer. Simon P. Thompson also prints his conditions in the Democrat, five in nnraber This may be well enough, but, why not comply with Carnegie’e conditions and get a SIO,OOO library for the oity. As the matter now stands, if we have .been rightly informed, Carnegie has offered to build for the oity a Library Building. His osnditiona are “a suitable site be furnished and the guarantee by by the oity of SIOOO per annum for the maintainanoe of a public library therein. A library board has been chosen who will receive this building ( with Carnegie’ conditions) when it has been ereoted and turned over to them in behalf of the pnblio library to be maintained therein, and snoh board will be the custodians thereof. The levy by the Common Counoil of l mill has been made and the township of Marion, have levied two-tenths of one mill, which will famish the neoessary money.

' The library board have decided upon two sites. Lots oa Van Rensselaer street provided SI2OO is donated for their purchase by Monday June 15, 1903. If this money is not subscribed then Weston Park is the chosen siteThe people know the site condi. tious (not Thompson’s new ones) and their contributions ought to indioate their preference. If the money is not raised then Weston Park is the site and all that remains is for the Council to make the order permitting its use as provided by statute. The people want this building and will be satisfied with either site selected The public mind ought not to be poisoned by unfair and improbable oonstruotions put upon the library laws even had every attorney of the Jasper County Bar joined therein. Do not stand in the way gentlemen let the Library Building be built. One op the People

The Hygiene of Old Ag**. We look upon the aged with good reason as haying a slender hold upon life, one that may be loosened by a slight shock of inju y or disease whioh, in the young or middle-aged, would serve only as a stimulus to the reparative vital powers. This is a conservative belief, but it was us to shielp our loved ones who have fought the, from all influences whioh might shorten their stay with us. But we must not go too far in our solicitude, for injury may be inflicted and life shortentd by codding the old almost as surely as by coddling, the young, The vital prooasses in thea&ged are slow, but they are still exi tent, and they may be kept aotive by ge tie opposition and stimulation. just as they map be inoreased in ohildhood and youth by rough methods. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and Herb Laxative Compound is a boon to the aged and infirm and probably no medicine has accomplished so much, or reoeived as high or as many Indorsements from men and women whose extreme age gives them a seemingly slender hold npon life. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin makes perfeot digestion and ants gently npon the bowels in an easy and pleasant manner, Tones up the entire system and prolongs life 500 and $1 bottles. At A. F. Longs.

Some time ago a Rookport paper got an item mixed in snoh a way that the pnblio was given this startling information: A shorthorn editor in Kansas gave biith to a ball aalf with two heads.” Managing Editor■T ’’What is your specialty?” Applioant (haughtily): “I have jnst graduated from college.” “ Well, yon might aooept the position of editcr-in-ohief, until some of your knowledge wears off.”—Life A book canvasser went into a barber's shop and asked the proprietor if he oonld sell him an encyclopaedia. “What’s that?” asked the barber. “It,s a book that contains information on every subjeot in the world.” Theie was a victim in the ohair and he put in feebly, He '‘doesn’t need it.”

“What on earth are you doing in here, Tommy?” asked a mother as she peered into the hen house from hence came a series of squkking and flapping of wings. *‘l/am trying,” said Tommy, who seemed to be doing something with a knotted rope, “to fix this old rooster so his alarm won’t go off in the morning before seven o’clock.” “An! Good morning. Mr. Editor.” said the rnral looking visitor briskly, entering the saotnm. “I’ve brought yon in some spring poultry, whioh I—”

“Get out! Get out! Take it away!” exclaimed the busy editor, savagely. “I don’t want it! Haven’t any room for it.” The rural-appearing visitor hurried out, looking soared. The society reporter got his breath and grasped: “Wh wh-wh-what’s this? No room for spring poultry? ’ Poultry! Great Heavens!” and the editor got op and tore his hair. “I thought he said poetry.”
