FUSION IN INDIANA.
Chairman Butler Thinks That the Democratic
Populist Scheme Will Go Through.

Washington. Oct. 4.-Populist Chair
man Butler does not think that fusion
will be defeated in Indiana. He says
the conditions there are different from
those in any other state except West
Virginia. Both the national commit
tees have urged all the state leaders
where fusion was desirable, to steer
clear of all alliances concerning Con-
gressmen and state candidates, until
after the arrangement of the electoral
slate
Chairman Butler. in almost every
state except Indiana and West Vir-
ginia. has found the Populists eager to
fuse on Congressman and state nomi-
nees. 1t has been with considerable
difficulty that he has restrained the
Populist state leaders from involving
these with what was to the Populist
national committee paramount.
In Indiana and West Virginia, he
says. the Democrats have tried to force
fusion of the state and Congressional
nominees upon the Populists as a con-
dition of fusion on the electoral ticket
Both he and Chairman ones have la
bored with the leaders in Indiana. The
Populists there. in compliance with ad-
vice from the national committee, have
certified to an electoral ticket of 10
Democrats and five Populists.
Chairman Butler says that the ticket
will stand so far as the Populists are
concerned. Should the Democrats re-
fuse to pull down five electors, which
he regards as improbable, the Populists
will simply vote for 10 Democrats, and
if Bryan loses the other five in No
vember the blame will rest on the Dem
ocrats. The situation in West Virginia,
he says, is about the same.

<ENTS HILL.

For the college Fullback Pearce and
Baifback Holmes did soms good work
but the game consisted principally in long
runs by w. Pulen and Charlie Graves
bucking the center by Henry Wight and
futile attempts on the part of Colby to
make ground.
At the start Kent's Hill had the bah.
two long runs by Graves: IA run by w
Pulen: and the next moment Wight was
forced over the line The remainder of
the game consisted in a repetition of this
programme. with slight variations Wight
failed, only in kicking the second goal
Perry was much in evidence at quarter
back and played the position well and did
fairly well with the ball. Wight showed
ability TO make short gains when they
xere needed. Joe Pullen made one good
run.
The features of the game were the
leaps made by VIII Pullen. completely
over the Colby men they crouched to-
tackle. twice did the long limbed Pullen
perform this feat, 10 the immense de-
light of the onlookers.
Charlie Graves this year will be the
Napoleon of kent's Hin team. As TO the
outlook for the Hebron game next Satur-

boys and they won't be beaten till the

rivalry between the two schools is very

BICYCLE GUARANTEES REDucen
hereafter Factories VIII BE Re,
sponsible for Six Months Only.

Hereafter Factories VIII Re Rc-
sponsible for Six Months Only.
From the indianapolis News.
The decision Of the directors of the na-
tional cycle board of trade to cut down the
period of guarantee on wheels from one
year to six months was the most impor-
tant move in the trade during the week.
The directors met in New York city, and
this was the agreement all signed: I'VE
agree with the purchaser of each bicycle
to make good. by repair or replacement,
when delivered at our factory, transporta-
ton prepaid. any inperfection or defect in
material or manufacture of such bicycle
not caused by misuse or neglect: provided
that the factory serial number shall be on
such bicycle at the time the claim is made
and that all imperfect or defective parts
shall be referred to US before any claim for
repair or replacement shall be allowed
This guarantee continues for six months
from the date of the sale by the agent
Speaking Of the action Of the directors
R. Lindsay Coleman, president of the board,
said: "Six months Is long enough for any
defect In. any bicycle to manifest itself. If
any part breaks after having been used
that long, 1t cahnot very well be due to an
imperfection. Some Of the directors want
ted to abolish the guarantee, while others
argued for three months from the sale Of
the wheel by the agent. Six months was
finally agreed up as being an equitable
guarantee. In the last two years the long
guarantee has caused the companies much
annoyance because of the abuse of the
privilege
