Governor Matthews of Indiana,
has written the following letter to the
Richmond State, in which he gives a
glowing account of the situation in the
middle states: 'In reply to yours of
the Goth ult., which I have just read,
I am glad to say that, after quite an
extended canvass of the state, l have
no doubt of the result. Bryan will
carry Indiana by tremendous major
ity. Our people, especial y in the
country districts, are thoroughly
aroused to the Importance of the issue.
NV advices lead me to believe that
Illinois will be for Bryan, and Ohio
may be put in the doubtful list. Well
informed gentlemen from Kentucky
feel satisfied that Kentucky will re-
turn to her old faith and be in the
Democratic column again."
While the car of Russia is having
a big time in France, it is not so with
the French police. They are in an ago.
nv of anxiety. On two or three occa-
sions the bombs of anarchists have been
exploded in close proximity to the
czar, and it is believed that every at
tempt is being made to assassinate the
royal visitor. The czar is delighted
with the sights to be seen in France,
and last week expressed a desire to
take in the city of Paris under disguise.
The prefect of police, however, would
not hear to such a proposition, and
announced that if the czar should
persist in his determination he would
at once resign his Office. He is not
disposed to incur such responsibility
as would devolve upon him.
Rev. Martin L. Rhodes. pastor of
a Methodist church in New Jersey,
was in Washington last Friday on a
bridal tour. His pretty young wife
wanted some chips off the Washington
monument for souvenirs, and Mr..
Rhodes tried to get them for her. A
policeman saw him about that time
and took him before Judge Kimball,
of the police court. Rev. Mr.. Rhodes
promptly explained that the ''woman
wanted the relics" and his honor said
that the little pieces of stone were
worth $40. "Is that the best you can
do ?" asked the preacher. "No, l can
charge you more, if you like" replied
the judge. The pretty bride cast a
whitening look of scorn at his honor
and the reverent vandal planked down
a $40 bill.
Two men named Sair and Pratt
went into a bank ct Sherbourne,
Mimi, last Wednesday, killed two
of the officials, robbed the vaults of
several thousand dollars, mounted
their bicycles and rode away. The
whole country was aroused as quickly
as possible and posse started in pur-
suit. Sair was located in farm house
on Friday. When the posse came up,
Sair shot one of the men dead, and
then running to the back door of the
house, mounted his wheel and started
up another race. After going about
four miles he broke a pedal and had
to take to cornfeld. The leader OF
the posse fred at him from rest with
a Winchester, and he fell. Upon ex-
animation of his body it was discov-
cred that there was Winchester bull
let in his shoulder and revolver bull
let in his head. 1t is claimed that the
revolver bullet was fired by himself.
Pratt is still at large.
- The New York correspondent of
the Chicago Record telegraphs that
paper: For some reason or other
there has been a very decided change
in the tone at the Republican head
quarters within the last few days, and
Mr.. Hanna's instructions to his asso
ciates and subordinates throughout
the country are tersely expressed in
the sentence, "Quit blowing and saw
wood" There is no doubt that dis
couraging news has been received from
Ohio, Indiana and some of the other
western states, but it is impossible to
ascertain the details. Whatever has
happened or has been discovered, must
be, however, of a serious nature to
have such a depressing effect. The
atmosphere around the Metropolitan
Life building (Republican headquar-
ters) is charged with apprehension and
nobody seems able to explain the
cause. Mr.. Hanna goes west to re-
main until the election, and there is
rumor that he will stop in Ohio and
make a personal investigation of the
reports of Republican detection in
that state.
