The Democratic Chairman Invites Isiol
Inan Interview.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 24.-NIis'
Anna Dickinson was guest at the Har
rison residence yesterday.
General Harrison caught a slight cold
in his head Saturday evening when he
stood on the steps in the draught and
addressed the commercial travellers from
Chicago. Other than this the General is
in excellent health and stands the wear
and tear OF the campaign remarkably
well. The incident on Saturday night,
when a Chicago drummer attacked q
Democrat in the parade, has created q
good deal OF bad feeling here. Chairman
Jewett, of the State Democratic Com.
mittec, is out in an interview on the sub
ject this evening, wherein he is reliably
quoted as saying:
"Our people have treated the Repub-
licans respectfully heretofore, but after
this affair of Saturday night, for which
we hold General Harrison to account
because his guests caused the trouble,
we shall not feel that we are responsible
for anything that may happen"
solon Chase, of Maine, the famous
Greenbacker, opened his canvass for the
Republican ticket this afternoon. \ Anna
Dickinson spoke at Terrc Haute tonight,
while Fred Douglass, Corporal Tanner
and host OF lesser known Republican
orators spoke tonight at other points.
Major Mckinley, Congressman Reed,
Senators Sherman and Hoar and other
National orators are expected in the
State at an early day. On the Demo-
cratic side the showing is equally strong
in numbers and talent.

Two NIurderors convicted.

Chicago, Sept. PA dispatch from
jefferson, Wis, says: The jury in the
Steinhauser murder case has returned u
verdict against Henry Rohrmiser and
Mrs. Steinhauser OF murder in the first
degree. The attorneys for the defense
moved for new trial. The crime for
which they were convicted was the mur-
der Of Martin Steinhauser, at his home
in Palmyra, on the evening OF March 5.
1t was alleged that improper relations
existed between Mrs. Steinhauser and
the hired man, Rohrmiser, and that
they conspired to kill the woman's hus-
band. The crime was committed at
night, Steinhauser being shot in the
forehead, the bullet lodging in his brain.
He lived some hours after, and in an
ante-mortem statement charged Mrs.
Steinhauser and Henry Rohrmiser with
the crime. The woman told n number
OF ridiculous stories to the effect that the
crime was committed by burglars, but
afterwards claimed that Steinhauser was
killed by accident while threatening her
life with his revolver in his own hands.

on the Cimarron river, was carried of
by an eagle Saturday, Beattie went to
work IN the morning, leavingin his dug
out his children, one five years old and
baby aged two months. About noon
Beattie returned home and found his
little girl in tears. She said she had
taken the baby out into the yard while
she went into the house. In few min

saw "baby flying away" as she express
ed it. The father knew ut once that an
eagle had visited his home, and sum
moned his neighbors to the wooded
banks OF the river, which the eagle had
made. In about an hour the sound OF
shot summoned the searchers. One
of the men had found the eagle and was
engaged in deadly conflict with it, He
had emptied his gun Ht the bird. but had
broken wing, and now was using his
gun us club when reinforcements ar
rived. The eagle tluttered into the
bushes and then the father saw his in

GOVERNOR RUSK,

But few il any states in the Union
have been as fortunate as Wisconsin
in having Governor who has looked
after the financial interests Of The state
as successfully as Gov. Rusk of this
state. He has collected old CLAIMS due
the state which had been abandoned
as long ago as 1915. Quite recently he
deposited in the state treasury $780,.
7s7.S7. obtained from the general gov.
eminent, on payment of several claims.
SET ,6s1.72 was for claims abandoned
by the state, but revived by Gov.
Rusk, and vigorously prosecuted to
collection. When Gov. Rusk entered
on the duties of his Office the Eve per
cent due on the sale of public land had
not been collected for years; he made
collection of the entire amounts due,
amounting to $102, 1854, which goes
into the school fund. When Gov. Rusk
was Inaugural ed the state was in
debted to the general government on
the direct war tax $207,es5; this has
all been paid. This war tax, Gov.
Rusk says, should be paid back to the
state, for other states that were equally
liable for the war tax paid nothing.
nor ever will. What Gov. Rusk has
accomplished financially for the state,
without referring to other interests,
entities him to the thanks of the PEG.
pie, and ranks him as one of our best
Governors.

,sSCANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

During the past three weeks or more
the usual number of Republican can
iidates for Governor have not been
brought to notice through the news.
papers. Most Of the candidates men,
toned weeks ago, or rather their
friends, appear to be waiting the result
OF a later suggested candidate, who
seems to have suddenly made a de-
cided impression. The Milwaukee
Sents''eI, we believe, is accredited with
having made the discovery of the man
who appears likely to have a more
popular following than any one yet
named for the Office. This man is w.
ID. Hoard, of Jefferson county. He is
the editor and publisher of a paper de.
voted to the interests of the farmers,
and unqnestionably has many friends
in the agricultural districts. He is
well posted in the line of business in
which he Is engaged. Mr.. Hoard, for
aught that appears. has the necessary
qualifications for the Office of Governor.
The papers opposed to him politically
say OF him ne is a good story teller.
Abraham Lincoln had the reputation
of being an unusually interesting story
teller. The Sentinel says: /" Nine news.
papers out Of ten in the state, which
have given expression on the subject
at all, have had a favorable word for
Hoard as the man for Governor" -

UNION OF CHURCHES.

A meeting Of representative mem.
bers of all the evangelical churches OF
Milwaukee has been held to consider a
plan OF union for systematic christian
work, which shall increase attendance
at the Sunday services in the churches.
1t is conceded that the churches reach
to only a limited extent the great body
OF the people. who attend no church.
This omission is not for the want of
church room, or that more churches
are needed, but it is for other reasons.
The lack of church attendance is the
subject of remark in most western
cities, and possibly to the same extent
In many eastern cities. Were the
Protestant churches in this city in.
creased to double the present number
it would probably add but fraction
to the regular number of church.goers.
1t Is stated that the church unions
which have been organized in eastern
states have been instrumental in in.
creasing attendance from the ranks of
those who had not been in the practice
OF going to any church on Sunday.
That it Is for the best interests of the
community that all persons, as far as
practicable, should attend some place
of moral and religious instruction on
Sundays but few will question. Z.

CHEAP LIGHT.

1t was stated q short time ago that a
new kind Of gas had been introduced,
superior to that now in use, at less
than half the cost Of that now in use.
The first report of this new illuminat-
Ing agency was received with distrust,
but it now appears to be a demon
strated fact. Every new discovery
that cheapens the comforts and neces-
saries of living is gladly welcomed. but
there Is one discovery, long ago prom
ised. and several times reported close
ct hand, but still perhaps a great way
off. That much desired discovery is a
cheap substitute for fuel; convent
emit substance used for heating, which
would lessen the present cost only
one-half, would gladden. millions In
this country. The present cost of
fuel. particularly in the larger towns
and cities, is a burdensome expense,
and falls heavily on the poorer classes.
A discovery Of this needed sort would
be no more strange than many that
have been made during the past quar-
ter of . century. Cheap fuel for gen.
eral use is sure to come: it only needs
patient waiting while science is ex.
perimenting.

objected that the tendency will be to
revive the feeling Of hostility to the
South and defer the period when
friendly relations should be established
between the two sections of country.
This is a mistaken view of the design
Of these reminders Of pasthistory. 1t
has been charged, not without good
showing, that the spirit of patriotism,
such as pervaded the people during the
first half century and more following
the American revolution. has much
degenerated. This is regarded an un-
favorable omen for the perpetuity Of
our free institutions. In a government
like this, where the people rule. it has
been declared, eternal vigilance is the
price OF liberty" Hence it requires
constant reminders Of what our free
dom cost; it should be impressed on
the minds of the young in the public
schools. The national Gag carries with
it history which every boy should
learn. and the war song is suggestive
Of events of thrilling importance.
