If we could take survey of nature, so

everywhere. 1t requil es but moments
reflection to see that vegetables and animal
life and development depend upon these
conditions. Overthrow the supremacy of
the law and all nature would be chaos, de-
struction and death. National life is not
unlike natural life, it can only flourish
where law is supreme that harmony and
order may prevail. Law and order is life
and prosperity. To carry into effect the
demands of the Chicago Democratic plat
form would affect our national life as the
abrogation of natural laws would the har-
mony of nature; would bring disorder con-

Just before commencing the races o. l..
Stevens went against the mile record for a
four-lap track. He was paced by Dallas
men. He failed to break the record or
even equal it. making the distance in :5S
fiat. In the sixth race George Miersten, of
Sioux City, was run into by another wheel
man and had one of his ankles broken. He
finished the race, however. securing third
place. The injury will likely keep him off
the track for the rest of the season.

SHOCKS STILL CONTINUE.
Mr.. Newport's Home Continues
House of Mystery.

The curious demonstration at the house
OF James A. Newport 1886 North Capitol
avenue, continued at intervals during yes
terday and attracted hundreds of people
The mystery surrounding the affair in
creased the time went on, and no rea-
sonable theory has yet been offered for
the strange disturbance. The family of
Mr.. Newport remained away from home
until O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and up
until that time the people who collected
about the place heard nothing Mr. and
Mrs. Newport had about come to the con-
clusion that the thing was over, when the
rapping sound in the partition was again
heard 1t continued at intervals of a
few minutes until about o'clock, when
it ceased until nearly 10 o'clock, when it
was again renewed with increased force
Apparently the disturbance had been
confined to the middle wall, until the last
manifestation. Then it grew in intensity
and for half an hour the strange shocks
were noticeable in all parts of the house.
The walls of the front room swayed to
were knocked to the floor A china smok-
ing set which reposed upon a bracket fell
TO the floor and was broken into a dozen
pieces. The disturbances continued until
nearly II o'clock. and their violence in
creased with each successive blow; Mem
really frightened for the first time and
prepared to remain awake all night to
be prepared for even greater and more
disastrous shocks.
1t is now the settled belief of those who
have heard and seen the strange demon
strations that they are caused by some
action of the earth, caused probably by nat
ural gas. 1t has been recalled that about
two weeks ago a single shock similar to
those experienced was felt in the grocery
store Immediately north of the Newport
residence Then the shock was sufficient to
cause canned goods to fall from the

the grocery it was believed that the trouble
|. was due to some fault in the construction
of the shelves, and the matter was forgot
ten until the demonstrations in the New
port house recalled them to mind. The
observation of those who have been watch
ing the thing is that the shocks occur at in
tervals of about three hours and that they
get stronger at each repetition.
Last night Mr. Newport was preparing to
take out the partition wall where the shock
was so plainly noticed at first. but just as
they We're to begin the work the shocks
were noticed all over the house. and the
conclusion being reached that the force
came from the earth the idea of removing
the wall was abandoned.

A r,ea for Cheaper opera.

For long time 1t has been apparent to musi-
clans in America that at last there was a. grow
ing public dissatisfaction with the prices paid
foreign artists who visit this country. The senti-
ment has not been advanced by any particular
city or individual. but 1t has been broad aa-
tional discomfort with the way in which musical
affairs are administered by the prominent man
ayers in the operatic and concert field. Writers
musical subjects in the press throughout the
State have long condemned the practice of sub
mitting to the impertinent demands of foreign
artists. What has been written outside Of New
York and Boston. has had very little apparent
weight, and the abuses have continued from year
to year.

Secretary of State S. M. Taylor, of Ohio.
was at the Fffth-avenue Hotel tonight. He
predicted that McKinleys ma jority in Ohio
would be between 10000 and $4,000.

been wired on to New York that Mr. By

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
AS the campaign progresses Mr.. Bryan
and his Popocratic followers are making
violent efforts to create prejudice against
employers of labor by assertions that
manufacturers and railroad companies are
using coercion to force their employees to
vote for Mckinley. If there is no more
force used than is the case in this city.
the charge will fall of its own weight
Hundreds of employees of factories here
have formed themselves into Mckinley
clubs, elected officers and provided them
selves with hats and torches. These men
are full of zeal in the Republican cause.
and are doing all in their power to elect
William Mckinley and the entire Re
publican ticket. These men are indignant
that they be held up as men who would
allow any one to force them to cast their
votes against their true convictions. There
are four Mckinley clubs here that are en-
tireiy composed of employees of factories.
