Interest in Horsefesh Picking Up-New Ideas
That Have Crept In.

There is perhaps more interest evinced
by Indianapolis people i'm fine horses this

their determinations among animals that
have largely changed the demand. A few
years ago q horse needed but q good pedl-

latter is not absolutely necessary. The

be of q good color and disposition. The

POLITICS OVER THE RIVER
The Republicans Are Making a VigOr.
Gus Campaign in West Indianapolis,
And They Have q First-Clas Ticket to Fight
photographed Sketches of Five
Good Citizens of the Suburb.

The Republicans of West indianapolis
are making n vigorous campaign for the
election of town officers, and the prospects
of q sweeping victory are most flattering.
Four years of ring rule, remarkable only
for partisan favorItism and notorious in
capacity In the management of public
affairs. the unequal distribution of the
burdens imposed by the new tax law. the
making of contracts and leases with cor
porations and individuals, in which the
town has been invariably left with an
empty bag to hold, and also an empty
treasury, has disguised alike all respecta-
BILE citizens. without regard to party or
creed, and a radical change from the pres
ent despOtic regime is firmly demanded.
1t is fitting that the people should know
something of those for whom they are
asked to exercise the right of suffrage at
the coming town election. and herewith is
briefly sketched the career of each of the
Republican candidates.

Mr.. Shaffer Remains Silent Regarding the
Deal-Big Purchase of Land.

About the only significant thing in the
street-car deal 10 the fact hat attorney
John b. Elan was called to Chicago yes

been in Chicago for several days. Attorney
Elam told a gentleman before he left the

Company wanted to buy. and the only
thing In the way of an early contamination
of the deal were a few minor legal techni-
calities which might be settled in the
course of a day or so. DIR. Light thinks
the delay is caused by the time required
10 prepare and issue the necessary bonds,
and that the matter will be disposed of by
Monday.

He Was Formerly Pastor of the First Pres

The Associated Press yesterday brought
the new that Rev. j. Howard Nixon. ID.
ID. formerly pastor of the First Presbv-
terrain Church of this city, died on Friday
night at his residence IN Webster Grove, a
suburb of st. Louis.
DR.. Nixon, who was sixty-two years old
at the time of his death, will be remem-
bered by many of the older residents of
Indianapolis, as his pastorate of the First
Church extended from April IL. 1861. until
his resignation April II. 1860. a period
of nine years. the greater part of the
time being during tho stirring days of the
civil war. 1t was Immediately preceding
his pastorate. Jan. "a, 1851. that President
Harrison was elected an elder of the First
Church. Another distinguished member of
his congregation here, though not of the
church. was the late DEMONSTRATIONS
A. Hendricks, who gave up his sitting, and
ceased to attend, for the reason that DIR.
Nixon preached political sermons" These
political sermons however. were character
lied as patriotic utterHnces by an over
whelming majority OF the congregation.
When DR.. Nixon began preaching in this
the present Journal Building. and 1t was
during his passionate that the present
church was erected. There was a stron z
and healthful growth in membership dur
ing his ministry. though his preaching was
not of q character to be denominated pop
ular. He was a man of little personal
magnetism, though looked upon IS our
in doctrine and an able reasoner.
While here be was in feeble health, and
when he gave VI his charge it was to re-
gain his impaired hoalth by cessation from
the ardUOus work of the ministry. After
leaving here he conducted a female SEM
mary for some time in Missouri. and sub
sequently was pastor of the Contra
Church. at Wilmington, Del. For many
years be was prominent in the general
councils n assemblies OF tho Presby-
terrain Church.
