Michigan City Dispatch.i

Indiana should Justly take pride in the
candidacy OF William ID. Bynum for
speaker of the house. He is one of the
brainy young men of congress and should
receive the cordial and undivided support
OF the Indiana congressional delegation.
The Dispatch believes that the speaker
should come from the North at this time,
and, as Congressman Bynum is head and
shoulders above all candidates mentioned,
he is unquestionably the man for the
place.

Amer having tired to commit suicide, Ed
ward N. Field has been declared insane and
yesterday he was placed in private asylum
near Mt. Vernon
A friend Of the Field family this afternoon
said. The family have decided 10 take

everything open and above board; and
know that the family lawyers are drawing
up the necessary papers now. The family

This is the pitiful condition of family
which a few years ago was envied for its
wealth. happiness and social eminence- And
the fact that to-day is the iiity-first anniyer-
sary Of Cyrus W. Fields marriage, adds
new sadness to the story.

Aicted with the disease is now very large.

more virulent type than that which pre-
