governor of q state which had 5000
square miles Of coal mines, and he wanted
protection for the greatest industry in his
state, pleading eloquently for the reten-
tion OF the duties on coal.
When the governor had finished, Mr..
Tarsney asked: "The platform upon
which you werc elected was for reduc-
ton of duties, was II not"
"Yes, sir."
"Then why are you advocating protec-
tion?"
II do not believe in tariff which gives
four or five times as high protection to
one industry ms another" was the replied.

MORE COMPROMISE TALK.

. Concession To Silver.

The President Said to B, Ready to Make
y Concession to Silver.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-There is strong
talk of o compromise on the silver ques.
tion in the senate tonight, based upon re-
ported intimations given by the president
that be 10 willing to accept . moderate
compromise OF the nature of continued
coinage Tor a specified time Of SO much
silver per month until a specified amount
is reached. The president, however, 10
represented as unwilling that q conces-
sion made to silver shall go on the repeal
bill rs rider, but II must be passed sub
sequent to the passage of the uncondi.
tional repeal bill. The assurance that he
would sign supplementary bill might sat
isfy some compromise advocates, but free
silver men. even though they too acquiesce,
would probably insist on the compromise
being incorporated in the original bill.
They naturally want the best terms they
can make for silver. and tho acceptance
of q acompromise with them would be in
place OF certain defeat. On the other
hand, 10 the president 10 correctly repre-
scnted, IL is possible he might agree to
coupling the compromise with the repeal
bill. There are. therefore. many contin-
gencies upon which the arrangement TO
let matters go to a vote depend. II is re-
ported that intimations from the white
house of willingness to accept anything
at ali short of absolute and unconditional
repeal has revived the talk of an early
settlement of the battle IN the senate.

WASHINGTON. Ind, Sept. l9.-Sows h
received from Harrison township. twelve

night. The family consisted of Wrattan.
his wife. mother and three children. Tho
eldest child. girl OF IL years, is still liv-
ing. though unconscious. The murderers

got nothing. A hatchet was used in tho
terrible deed. wrattan was sick in bed
and powerless to defend himself and
family. AL the dead were lying upon tho
floor except the babe. which was killed in
bed.
To get money was doubtless the motive
for the murder. There was evidence OF .
fierce struggle. wrattou was sick OF
typhoid fever and inca apable OF resistance.
The mother was found on the floor cut
terribly about the heed and both hands
were cut OF mt the wrists. The murder
was discovered about q o'clock this morn.
ing by neighbor. Thirty-two dollars In
money was found sewcd in tho wife's
dress and SO was in the drawer. There
is no clue to the murierers. but they arc
supposed TO bc tramps. The tracks OF
three men vere discovered near the house.
Bioodhounds have been brought from Sey-
mour to trail the murderers.

A PIeasan. Entertainment.

The Jean Ingelow Songs of Seven
entertainment at the NJ. Il. Church
last Wednesday evening was com
plete success. There was large at
tendance, and it was not only a sue
cess financially but as literary and
musical entertainment it was all that
could be asked.
The church and especially that
portion set apart for the stage was
elegantly and tastefully arranged
and decorated with flowers and works
of art.
The music furnished by Heaton's
band and orchestra, the Cactus club
and individual performers was of the
highest order Of excellence, and
proves that Lamar can outshine any
Of her neighbors in musical talent.
The rotations and scenes por-
traYing the different ages of woman
were splendid as regards elocution
and acting, but the ladies performing
the last half hide their age well, if
they are as old as represented
The entertainment reflects great
credit upon the promoters and man
ayers as well as the performers, and
we hope such affairs will be more
frequent in the future.
