A YOUNG SCHOOL GIRL MISSING
Pretty "DOt' Hayden, Aged Twelve,
Fails to Return Home.

Dot Hayden. a pretty schoolgirl, twelve
years old, is mysteriously missing from her
fathers home, 8 Valley drive. Thursday
noon, after dinner, she left home for school,
on Beeler street. Since then nothing has
been seen of her by her half-distracted
parents. L.. NJ. Hayden, the girls father,
is in the transfer business. He reported
the case to the police last night and eff
forts are beinr made to find the girl. She
is very large Tor her age, although she is
still in short dresses. When she left home
she wore a dark plaid dress, black shoes
aid hose and 4 round black cap. Over her
shoes she wore rubbers. She has black hair
and dark eyes. Mr.. Hayden says that
Dot has sometimes remained away from
home until late at night, although he fire.
quently rebuked her for so doing. When
she did not return home from school Thurs
Gay evening nothing was thought of the
occurrence, as Mr.. and Mrs. Hayden sup
posed she would return before bedtime.
When morning came she was still absent.
Mr.. Hayden consoied himself with the idea
that she had gone to spend the night with
one of her girl friends, and then he went TO
the country, as he had urgent business.
Last night, when he returned home at dark.
he was greatly alarmed to find that his
daughter was absent, and he was not slow
in responding to the fearful entreaties of
his Wife. He started to search for the miss
ing girl. A visit to the teacher disclosed
the fact that Dot had not been at school
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Hayden then in
quired of a number of girls with whom
Dot associates, but none of them had
seen her after she started home to dinner
Thursday. Next he visited his relatives,
without getting the slightest trace of his
daughter. 1t was midnight VIXEN he turned
to the police station last night. At that
hour he had just come from the last place
Dot" might be expected to go.
While she is not yet thirteen years old,
she is almost as fully developed in physical
appearance as a woman, but is childish ana
inexperienced in the ways of the world.
Mr.. Haydon says that She has had no male
companions other than the young boys who
have visited her and her four sisters at the
home on Valley drive. So far as lie knows,
dot" never attended theaters or other
places of amusement. Mr.. Hayden was ex-
tremely anxious about his daughter and
was reluctant to return to his heartbroken
wife without their youngest child. He fears
that she has fallen into evil hands and has
baen hired away from the cfty

THE BALLOT TOO L
BOXES WILL HAVE TO BE OBJ
TANNED ALI OVER THE STATE.
Two Hundred Ballots Cannot BE
Crowded Into One of the Boxes
Which Are Now in Use.

County Auditor Harry Smith yesterday
called attention to a condition that will
cause much inconvenience and considerable
expense to the County Commissioners over
the State. Sample ballots have been sent
out by the State and were received yester-
day by the county officers. There was a
question raised as to whether two hundred
of the State ballots would go into one of the
ballot boxes. Mr.. Smith secured two nun
dred sheets of the same sort of paper or
which the ballot viii be printed, cut to
the actual size of the ballots and men be-
gan work folding ballots and going through
the process of voting two hundred times.
The ballots will be seventeen and a half
by thirty and a half inches. 1t was found
that however folded not more than from
eighty to one hundred can be crowded into
a box. With careful folding and with much
care in putting them through the little slit
made for the purpose it was found that
a few more could be put in than when
folded promiscuously. but in no case can
anything like two hundred ballots be put
in a box. The vote will run two hundred
to the precinct in most parts of the State.
This brings up a question of much i'm
~portance, for when q box has been filled
on election day and there are more voters
to cast their ballots it will be too late to
look for a place to put them. They must
all be placed in the one box that has been
provided. and even if there We're a second
box ready it would be illegal to use it.
There are over three thousand precincts
in the State and as a ballot box costs from
81 upward it will be a considerable expense
to buy new boxes.
1t will require a box about twice the size
of the boxes now in use throughout the
State and these will have to be provided
by the County Commissioners before the
election or there will be trouble. The bal
lot Will contain seven tickets, which makes
it almost twice as bulky when folded as
it was two years ago. On account of the
great number of tickets in the field there
are other points that will have to be care
fully considered by those having the ar
engagements for the election in charge.

POPOCRATS IN a ROW
STATE ATES WRATHFUL
BECAUSE THEY WERE DUMPED.
Them to Get Popuiist Votes for
Electoral Ticket.


The Popocrats have fallen into a row
among themselves over the question of flu
sion with the PopuIists. The Bryan man
ayers in Chicago, represented here last
Tuesday by j.. G.. Johnson. of Kansas, are
extremely anxious that the Popocrats shall
yield to the PopuIists five electors, and thus
have but one electoral ticket. instead of
two, as there are now, according to the ac-
ton of the Populist committee. The State
candidates, who have been putting up all
the money up to date for the Popocratic
campaign, s%trenuously object to any fur
Their steps in the fusion business that do
not contemplate the withdrawal of the Pop
ulist State ticket. One of the candidates on
the Popocratic State ticket said yesterday:
You can say that the State candidates
will never consent to fusion on the terms
proposed. 1t does not make any difference
what ]. G. Johnson or any one else says,
fusion has not been accomplished, and will
not be so long as the Populist State ticket
is in the field
The national committee is threatening to
withdraw all support from the campaign
in Indiana unless the State candidates con-
sent to accept the fusion electoral ticket.
In reply to this threat the candidates de-
clare that the only aid that has been fur
nished Indiana thus far was that brought
here by Johnson and Thomas Patterson to
influence the Populist of thirteen
to put up it's combination electoral ticket.
They declare that they have got along
thus far without any financial help from
the national committee, and do not believe
they will get any, anyhow.
Il told Johnson before he left here said
another candidate on the State ticket last
evening, that he should not go back to
Chicago and claim that the fusion deal had
been completed, for we will not have it
that way. / am tired of being side-tracked
and do not propose to have any more of it,
The thing that rolled the State candi-
dates was the statement in the State organ
last Wednesday that the deal was salts
factory all around. They believe this state
ment was i~nstigated by Johnson, and they
would like to have Mr.. Johnson return for
a day in order that they might have some
hard-boiled words with him.
Chairman Martin, of the State committee.
takes the side of the State candidates in
the controversy, believing that inasmuch as
they are putting up all the money they
ought to control the policy of the cam
palgn.

NO NEW STATE TICKET.
S~Ound-Noney Democrats VIII Not Put
One in the Field.

The National Democratic State committee
met at IL o'clock yesterday morning to dis
cuss the question of whether or not it
should put a State ticket in the field, in
view of the fusion or quasi-fusion between
the Popocrats and Populists formed early
this week. The subject was discussed for
a couple of hours, and the decision of the
committee was not to put a ticket in the
field. The decision was reached not be-
cause the committee has any particular re-
gard now for the candidates on the Popo-
cratic State ticket, but partly because it
would be difficult thus late to get together
a State convention and nominate a full
State ticket, and partly because it is too
late to accomplish anything with such a
ticket.
move would have added strength to the
movement in this State. the personal re-
gard of some OF the leaders of the National
movement for certain candidates on the
State ticket. who had been sound-money
men before the State convention, and who
gave assurances that there would be no
fusion with the PopuliStS. had much to do
with the decision not to put a State ticket
in the field at that time. Since then the
leaders have discovered that the lack of a
State ticket is a good deal of a hindrance
in the work of organization, and it is fig
ured that they would probably be from five
to eight thousand votes stronger had they
put out a ticket a month ago. They have
also discovered that the s~ound-money men
on the Popocratic ticket have worked Just
as hard to accomplish the fusion with the
but the discovery has been made too late
to do anV good.

A RIDICULOUS FARCE.
Eleven POpuIists Constitute Them
selves a County Convention.

Eleven lonely Populists. about all there
are left in the party in this county, met by
early candlefight last evening at No. 1919
North Delaware street in answer to a call
for a mass meeting, published in their or
gan. the Sentinel. yesterday. They met for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the
county convention" 1t has not been the
intention to hold a county convention. but
to let the PopuIiStS vote the Popocrat1c
county ticket. However. the discovery has
been made that in order to get the names
of the Popocratic candidates On the Popu-
list ticket they must be regularly nomi-
mated by a Populist convention. Therefore.
these eleven met last night and appointed
themselves and eight others. nineteen in
all, delegates to represent the party in an
alleged county convention, which will meet
at the same place next Saturday and nomi-
nate the same men nominated by the Popo-
cratic county convention.

A LIE ABOUT SENATOR BOYD.
NOblesviIle Democrat Engaged in It's
Usual

The Noblesville Democrat recently re-
printed the falsehood which appeared in
the Sentinel regarding a telegram which
Chairman Gowdy is alleged to have sent
to New York conceding Indiana to Bryan,
and then added a falsehood of it's own to
this one. 1t stated that Senator Thomas
E. Boyd, Of Noblesville. admitted that
Bryan would probably carry the State.
Mr.. Boyd was in the city yesterday, and
his attention was called to the article re-
garding him in the Noblesville paper, He
denounced it as q lie made out of the
whole cloth. Said he:
II have been in twenty-five counties of
the State in the last two months. and in
every place ] have spoken l have found
Democrats who will vote for Mckinley. /
have heard hundreds of Democrats here
d~enounce the Chicago platform in the most
unqualified terms. The article in that pa
per is a fair sample of the lies that have
been published in every campaign in the
Noblesville Democrat; one of the dirtiest
Democratic sheets published in the State
Mr.. Boyd says he believes the State will
go Republican at least 1000. Mr. Boyd
says he will give any man SO that will
stand up before him and say he made any
such statement as attributed TO him in the
Noblesville paper.

ported Orators.

ported OratOfS.
Allen Jennings and w. p. Smith, a pair
of Populists we'll matched, attempted to
hold a public meeting at the Fort Bragg
headquarters, corner of Washington and
Delaware streets, last night. Smith has a
long fiaxen beard and shiny locks reaching
to his coat collar. An empty cask covered
with a lot of loose planks formed the stand
from which he delivered a long-winded adj
dress to an audience that paid but little
attention to his remarks. Two or three of
the most persistent of the curbstone de-
claimers who have held forth at Fort
Bragg for the last few weeks, stood some
feet away from Smith surrounded by a
large circle of men who paid more atten-
ton to what they were saying than they
gave to Populist Smith. Allen Jennings
tried to put an end to the rival speeches.,
although the men were talking quietly and
not disturbing Smith in the least. Jennings
declared, however, that they were disturb
ing a public meeting. which had been adj
vertised.' and threatened to have them ar
rested If they did not go away.
ARREST and be id" said one man who
got angry when Jennings tried to work
the bluff I'VE We're here talking before
you and that old whiskers came around

as much right to talk here as you have.

Intellectual, Jennings withdrew and Smith
brought his address to an abrupt termina-
ton a moment or two afterward.
