speakers is largely done through and
by the state committee. The Repub-
ican plan of conducting the campaign
SEEMS MORE CENTRALIZED
than that of the Democrats. This diff
ference in methods doubtless accounts
for the larger clerical force employed
about Republican headquarters. Both
committees have large document rooms
where campaign congressional litera-
ture may be seen by the ton. These
documents arrive and depart almost
daily by the wagon load. Neither com
mittee has yet arranged its dates for dis
tinguished outside speakers who will
canvass Indiana. The only dates thus
far fixed for Judge Thurman is
October Is, at Shelbyville, where
a grand barbecue will be held.
Col. Matson, Gov. Gray and many other
distinguished Democratic orators will

great barbecue such as was held in
1884 at that point in honor of Gov. Hen
bricks. Judge Thurman will also par
ticipate in this demonstration, and the

fence. 1t is expected that Judge Thur

GEN. SHERIDAN died at 1920 on the
evening of August 5. Previous to a sud-
den appearance of heart failure, at about
$50, there had been no premonitions Of
any unfsvorable change In his condition.
The weather has been warmer than usual
and the general was at times little rest
less, but seemed generally bright and
cheerful. His voice was strong, he took
a full supply of nourishment, slept occa-
sionally as, usual, and the doctors and
his family were in hopeful spirits. At
o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doctor
went to the hotel for supper, and soon
after their return the usual preparations
for the night were made. At about 9:20
Col. Sheridan said "Good night to his
brother and went to the hotel. AT $50
symptoms OF heart failure suddenly sp-
peared, and Drs. O'Reilly and Matthews,
who were with him at the time, immedi-
ately applied the remedies which had
proved successful in all similar previous
attacks, but despite all that could be
done the general gradually sank, and at
1920 bresthed his last. Mrs. Sheridan
and the sisters, Maban and Justinian,
were also at his bedside throughout his
dying hour.
The following telegram was sent by
Secretary Of War:

A BoUNrrFun HARVEST.

The crop reports from our Western and
that this years harvest will be one of unusu-
al profit to the farmer. Especially is this
true of Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota and Ne
brasks, the crop indications for all of which
are more bushels to the acre and more and
better grain to the bushel than ever before.
There is no better season for testing the merit
of an agricultural region than this; the crops
are standing in the field, shock or stack, and
the investigator can get ct the facts by ocu-
lar demonstration.
To encourage intelligent investigation of
the wonderful agricultural regions penetrated
by its lines, the Chicago Il Northwestern Rail
way has arranged for series of bi-weekly
Harvest Excursions to points in Iowa, Da-
kota, Minnesota, Nebraska aud Wyoming
to be run during the months of August, Sep
TENDER and October, for which tickets will
be sold at one fare for the round trip, or one
half the usual rates. The conditions are ex-
tremely liberal, allowing thirty days for re-
turn and permitting stop over at different
points. These excursions will afford rare
opportunities to investigate the claims made
for these wonderfully productive regions, to
locate claim on 100 acres of government
free land, to buy quarter section or more
of the cheap railroad lands, to invest in town
property, to Spy out" the multi arious min
eral deposits of the Black Hills, or to make a
trip for health and pleasure. Write to E. p.
Wilson, General Passenger Agent Chicago
& Northwestern Railway, Chicago, ILL.,, for
detailed information, and it will be furnished
promptly and free of charge.

beyond what pertains to strictly milit-
airy funeral in proper respect to his rank.
This request will be strictly complied
with, and the escort will conform to regu-
lation 631-funeral escort to general.in-
chiet-and you will issue orders for such
troops to assemble as may be necessary
to complete this escort. You will detail
the necessary guard and bearers to go to

The funeral escort under regulation
631 is regiment of infantry, q battalion
of cavalry and two light batteries.
It was decided that Gen. Sheridan's
burial shall be in the Arlington national
cemetery, and Saturday has been finally
settled on as the day for the funeral.
There will be nofuneral services at Nom
quit.
The following executive order was
issued by the President:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Aug. Gas mark Of respect to the men,
ory of Gen. Sheridan, the President di-
rects that the national flag be displayed
at half-mast on all the buildings of the
executive departments in the city OF
Washington until after his funeral shall
have taken place. By direction OF the
President. DANIEL 8. LAMONT,
Private Secretary.
The President sent the following mes
sage to congress at IL o'clock:
To THE SENATE AND House OF REPRE-
sENTArIvEs: It becomes my painful duty
to announce to congress and to the peo-
pie of the United States the death of
Philip a. Sheridan, general Of the army,
which occurred at late hour last night
at his summer home in the State OF Mas
sachusetts.
The death of this valiant soldier and
patriotic son of the republic, though his
long illness has been regarded with snx-
iety, has nevertheless shocked the coun-
try and caused universal grief.
| He had established for himself strong
hold in the hearts of his fellow-country-
men, who soon caught the true meaning
and purpose OF his soldierly devotion and
heroic temper.
His intrepid courage, his steadfast pa
triotism, and the generosity of his nature
inspired with peculiar warmth the love
of the people.
Above his grave affection for the man
and pride in his achievements will strug-
gle for mastery, and too much honor can
| not be accorded to one who was SO richly
endowed with all the qualities which
make his death national loss.
