DISTINGUISHING Northern Republicans
Chicago journal

The republicans of Indiana are making
a strong campaign. Among the issues in
volved are democratic corruption and
maladministration of the benevolent in
stitutions of the state, disregard of the
civil-serviee law and the disflanchise-
ment of republican voters by an infamous
gerrymander of the state for Legislative
and congressional purposes.
The latter is by far the most important
of all the matters discussed, Senator
Harrison has made the case so clear and
distinct in his canvass of the state that
there is no gainsaying it. He has shown
that republican disfranchisement is prac-
tically as bad in Indiana, as Is that of the
negro in some parts of the south,
The total vote Of the state in 1854 was
nearly 50O,0 900 and of this the democrats
had only 6,522 more votes than the re-
publicans. There are thirteen congress
sional districts in the state, and with n
fair superintendent each party could con
troll about half OF them. THIS was for
merlv the case. In the forty sixth con
press the democrats had seven and the
republicans six members but the demo
cratic legislature of 1855 arranged the
districts in such a manner as 70 give
the republicans majority OF only three
of them.
The apportionment for legislative Pur-
poses is equally unjust. Republican
counties are denied a representative, while
democratic counties with smaller mum
Der OF voters are accorded one Laporte
county (democrsticl with vote of s077,
gets one senator, while Howard aud
Miami (republicsnl get only one senator
with a vote of LIPS. Based on the Presl-
dentisl vote of 1854. there should be one
senator for each 1906 votes. BY the
democratic apportionment TIE repuoli-
cans get senator fer every 1926 votes,
and the democrats get one for every 1860,
Outrageous a. this is, the congressional
anportionment is even worse. As the
districts are arranged 24,5l4 democratic
voters can elect national representa-

FAT PEOPLE AND FLUIDS.

Experiments Made in Paris by Dr.. Dcboye.
Gentleman's Magazine
The quetsion whether water is fatten-
ing otherwise has been much discussed,
Formerly it was generally asserted that
the victims of obesity should mortify the
flesh and reduce the fat dy abstaining
as much as possible from liquids and re-
naming in a continual state of thirst
LGtterly the opposite has been affirmed,
and | am told that reduction of weight
is one of the results claimed by the shot
water cure provided always that the
water is taken as hot as possible, pain
fully hot and in great quantities.
Experiments have been made in Paris
by DR. Debove which controvert both
these doctrines.
These experiments indicate, that pro
vided the same amount of solid food ia
taken. large quantities of water make a
man neither thinner or fatter. They
were carefully made on friend who took
weighed quantities of food daily. and
while these remained equal doubling the
quantity of water had no measurable
effect on the weight of the body. Still it
is quite possible that The old theory of
thirst cure and the new theory of hot
water cure may all DE correct. Both vio-
late the natural conditions of health.
Scalding hot water like tea or coffee or
grog of similar temperature, unquestion-
ably Injuries the teeth, the stomach, and
other organs concerned in the early
stages of the digestion, and il is very
probable that deficiency of liquid impede
the latter stages, whereby the latter
stages whereby the chyme, by the aid of
the digesting fluids, becomes converted
into chyle and blood.
fat man may easily become thinner
by iniuriug his health. Banting is dan
gerous as many who have fairly tried can
prove. The difficult problem is to reduce
the fat without reducing the strength at
the same time, A skillful trainer will
undertake to bring any man down to his
fighting weight, ii. e, to the best con
dition for violent exertiou; but rs soon
IS the discipline of the trainer is relaxed
the obesity, when constitutional, returns,
and long continuance of high training
is murderous. Perhaps the oldest pre-
scription, Keep your mouth shut and
your eyes open" when followed with
iudicious limitations. is the best. Eat
less, sleep less, and walk more are safe
injunctions, provided thky are obeyed
in moderation.
DR.. Deboyes conclusions apply to
water onfg, not to other beverages. The
fat man who uses malt liquor as daily
beverage deserves to be buried under
crossroads at midnight according to- the
ancient modes of degrading the wiilful
perpetrators of felo de Sc.

looks, for the young lady clerk in the
photographers where she had her picture
taken in sixty different positions tells a
funny tale about her. The other day
Mrs. Cleveland came down to the studio
and asked to see the photographs of her
self which were for sale. All the differ
ent ones were put out for her inspection.
She looked them over very carefully
said the lady clerk, "end then began

stop the sale of these Mrs Cleveland

TO allow one or two OF those to be sold.

only the worst faces. because If they do
they will think you are not pretty. Mrs.

tive, while it requires 79,24S republican
voters to elect one. This result has been
accom- plished by ingeniously stringing
republican counties together so as to
make a few large districts, and dividing
the democratic districts possible. Under
the present arrangement it will be seen
that one democratic vote in INDIANA
counts as much as two republican votes
in electing members to the state legis-
lature, and as much as three republican
votes in electing members of congress.
1t is against such monstrous iniquity in
political methods that the republicans of
Indiana are making a vigorous fight, but
With only small prospects of success, for
the party which was mean enough to per
petrate such an outrage will be found un-
scrupulous enough to continue it.

Bismarck Makes a Confession to Officers
Other Facts.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. 22.-The rallegea
confession of Albert Koschnisky. or Ri
marck," an accomplice in the HaddocL
murder, is still secret. 1t is said thai
the prisoner was first taken to Des Moines
by Chief Melon, who secured an audience
with Gov. Larabee. Up to this time
Bismarck" had made no disclosures. and
prior to doing so he exacted promise
from the governor guaranteeing personal
safety from violence in the event of his
transfer to Sioux City. Following this
guarantee bismarck in the presence
of the governor, Mayor Clelapd
Marshal Stanley and Chief Nelson made
a full and complete confession of his
connection with the murder, to which he
was an eyewitness. The confession was
taken down in shorthand and has since
been written out. 1t covers ten sheets of
closely written fool5cap paper, and is
now in the hands of the Sioux CITY
authorities. The reason assigned for
republication of the confession is that
it would enable the defense TO successful
ly anticipate any move the prosecution
might anticipate.
Sheriff Mcdonald is still absent from
the city, and INSIDE advice is TO the effect
that he will certainly make the arrest of
frisber, and possibly Plath. The manner
of Bismarck's leaving the city after the
murder, and also Garders' and the boy
Otto Gerbert, is exactly as previously Civ
en- IN these dispatches. Garders is still at
liberty. Detectives and city officers are
still following his trail, and the probabili-
ties are that he will not remain at large
much longer. Bismarck and Garders each
received $50 for doing Up Haddock be-
fore, and were to have received more af-
ter the deed was dlae.
Nothing yet has been divulged to indi-
cate that Bismarck will not corroborate
Leavitt's story. In fact, everything goes
to show he will. 1t is possible, however
he may put firing the shot upon some
other than Arensdorf
Every new phase of the situation is
discussed most eagerly, and the interest
does not die out. Just at the present
time the prosecution lacks active support,
financially and otherwise, of some or
ganization.

The Confessions Made Public.

CDEs MONIES, Oct. 22-At a late hour to-
night the confessions of two more men
concerned in the Haddock murder al
Sioux City were made public. These
are Albert Koschniski, known as
Bismarck and Otto Grieber. Bis
marck was captured in San Francisco and
brought here and made a confession to
the governor and attorney general last
week, which has been kept secret till now
He corroborates the confession of Lea
witt, already made, and says he saw Henry
Peters and Arendorff, the brewer, shoot
Haddock. He duplicates one Triber, a
saloon keeper at Sioux City, as the
principal instigator of the plot to at.
tack Haddock. Bismarck says he was
forced to leave town and was paid 5000
to go away. Grieber was another eye
witness to the murder. He duplicates
one Sylvester Gauber known as steam
boat Charlie as directly connected
with the crime. The police are searching
now for Gauber. The two confessions
showing that the murder was instigated
by saloonists and was carried out by
them is far the most important evidence
yet obtained.

COY. Rusk will be ELECTED.
Fond du Lac Commonwealth

Gov. Rusk will be elected by majority
that promises to ba larger and larger as
the days progress toward election. And
why will this exceptional vote be render
ed? Largely because of the interest ia
ken in endorsing the governors action of
May last. As the Inter Ocean of Chicago
well states the case: "The state don't
want to be called upon every few months
or years to put down petty riots-the bus
mess of the state don't want to be inter
rupted even for week or a day by petty
riots. And it il quite certain that there
will be no more riots while Jerry Rusk is
governor. The riotously inclined know
too well what the end would be for that.
The poor, deluded creatures who are led
into riots are taught first to believe that
majority of the people are or will be in
sympathy with them. The re election of
Gov. Rusk by an increased majority, will
disabuse their minds on this point and
do more to discourage future riots than
hanging dozen leaders or shooting a
hundred OF their dupes. Such majority
will be regarded as the voice of the peo-
pie on the subject. II

A Peculiar Glass of People.

Said a medical friend to me to-day
There is large number of people who
on account of their physical makeup,
ought always to be regarded a separate
class and almost a separate race, so differ
ent are they in all that pertains to health
pleasure and happiness. They are what
are called by physicians the nervous dys-
peptics. They are distinguished by fine
nervous organization which renders them
extremely sensitive to pain or pleasure
in body and in mind Their skin is thin
their flesh tender, and their mental feel
ings are easily panied. Their feelings
interrupt digestion, and ,hey are certain
to become dyspeptic. They easily be-
come subject to melancholy and insomnia.
But there is no finer claas of humanity
than these same people, if they only I'M
derstand their temperament and live
wisely with reference to it. They must
not touch whisky, wine or beer They
must be very sparing in the use of tea
and coffee, shell fish, raw fruits and meat.
They must be very regular in their habits
of eating and sleeping. They must take
exercise In the open air, and avoid close
air at all times and they need a
frequent change of air, diet and
scene. They have not much stamina or
endurance, but what there is in them is OF
good quality. They are bright, ingeni-
Gus, artistic, intellectual and refined.
They are like fine watch -very easily
put out of order, but all right If taken
good care of. They are generally greatly
misunderstood, both by themselves and
by others, and consequently are general
ly unhappy and almost total loss to So
ciety. The day will come, though, when
they will be the salvation of the human
race"
