Jewett's Proposition Declined.


INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5.-Anent the propo.
sition Of Chairman Jewett, Of the demo-
cratic state committee to Chairman Huston,
of the republican committee, that each
should name forty five members ana the pro-
hibitionists ten members to constitute a
committee of 100, whose duty it shall be to
prevent illegal voting, Chairman Huston to-
day makes reply to Chairman Jewett,
wherein he says;
"Ycu are doubtless aware that there is
now existing committee of 100, which is
nonpartisan IN its character. Being already
organized and having had valuable expert
ence in the work it was organized
to accomplish, it can certainly be
more effective than any new committee that
might be formed at this time With the con-
sent and hearty approval of our committee l
have forwarded to the treasurer of this COM
mttee my check for $500, which sum shall be
expended under their direction in giving re-
wards for the apprehension of any persons
violating the election laws of this state. The
republicans are now. and ever have been, in
favor of an honest ballot and fair count ~
s. =. Sheerin, secretary of the national
democratic committee, in an interview this
evening touching Chairman Huston's re-
Bponse, said
II regard Chairman Huston's reply as q
most extraordinary one, and public declara-
tion that the managers Of the republican
campaign are not only not in favor of an hon
est election but absolutely opposed to it. 1t
is untrue that this committee is made up
equally Of democrats and republicans. The
truth is that two-thirds Of the local commit
tee of 100 are active working republicans.
The facility with which Chairman Huston,
after the receipt Of Chairman Jewett's letter,
dumped $500 of the republican campaign
fund into the treasury Of this local commit
tee is proof positive that his intentions are

Fete Champetre.

The promenade concert given by the
Philo Literary society Last night at
the Waco Female College was GER
tainly one of the important social
events of the season. A large crowd
was present and as the numerous
couples walked to and fro on the spa
cious college lawn under the mellow
light of the almost full moon, it was
enough even to make the traditional
"old man in that planet smile with
happiness rs he gazed down upon the
scene. DR.. Dixon's Patent Medicine
band, which has already established
a reputation in Waco, furnished the
music. Each enrapturing strain as it
fioated over the mir thrilled every
heart and soul with its effects. 1t al
most equaled in power the mythical
tale ofthe sirens, who lived on u lonely
island in the sea and by their ire
sistable musical productions, lured
the ancient mariners to their shores.
And thus if a passer-by came in hear
ing distance of last nights music he
would have been forced to 60 down
in his pocket and get the required
money admission and come in even
against his will. Elegant refreshments
were served at exceedingly nominal
prices and the young man who failed to
treat his most adorable to lice cream
and cake last night, certainly deserve
to lose his place in her affections.
The Philo Literary demonstrated
their ability as caterers to the public
entertainment in degree that reached
perfection. We hope that the pro-
ceeds amounted to enough to enable
the neutrality-suspicious. in adding to
their society.

We are panied to announce the
death, yesterday, of Miss Letitla Ish,
lovely young lady of 16, with host
of warm friends in Waco. Mrs. Belle
Ish, the mother, who resides in the
city. took her daughter, some weeks
ago, to her farm near White Rock, in
the hope that change of air would
prove beneficial, but Miss Ish grew
weaker day by day, her life powers
sapped by the fell disease, consump.
ton. She was a beautiful girl, of
a peculiarly sweet and amiable dis.
position and a devout Christian, and
the darling Of her mother and friends
who saw IN her future a life made
charming by thousand graces. To.
day, those hopes will be buried in the
grave, as ten thousand mothers have
buried fond hopes before, and to the
mourners remain only a memory soft.
ened by tears, hallowed by time, and
the hope Of glorious resurrection.
For the dead girl died, after a short
life Of love and usefulness, with a
smile Of Christian faith on her lips
and with arms folded in confidence
on the bosom of her Savior. The
funeral takes place this evening at a
p. M, and the interment will be at
