DEMOCRATS ALARMED.
Much Concerned Over the Affairs In
the Fourth District.

For some unaccountable reason the Dem
ocratic State committee seems badly
alarmed about the congressional race in the
Fourth district, and is putting forth ex-
traordinary efforts to carry it. The district
is normally Democratic by over 1900 ma
jority, and the population is of character
that does not often change its politics, but
for all this the machine does not seem sat
isfed Ever since the meeting Of the State
committee here two weeks ago Chairman
Martin has been busily canvassing the
State for a corruption fund and advices
from Spencer are to the effect that he has
collected not less than $4,000
Next week Mr.. Martin will open head
quarters at Greensburg, where, with
the able assistance of Allen w.
Clark king OF all the push, "
he will begin the distribution Of
this Doodle and as much more as can be
collected between now and Aug. TO- Next
week also, the Democrats will begin dis
play of oratorical fireworks in the district,
in which all the big guns" Of the State on
that side of the fence will participate EX-
Governor Matthews heads the list, and it
includes Kern, Smith, Lamb and nearly all
the Popocratic orators that amount to any
thing in Indiana.

BOLDDAYLIGHT ROBBERY
A DARING THIEF PHYS HIS TRADE
IN THE EAST END.
Attempt to Suppress the News by the
Police Departm ent-A Dia-
mOnd Overlooked.

Another daring robbery was committed in
broad daylight yesterday. 1t was reported
to the police, but this department followed
out it's policy of suppressing this sort of
news from the public for fear, evidently,
that the publication will serve as in&orma-
ton to the thief that he has committed a
crime. There have been large number of
robberies recently that have been thus
withheld from the public A few of them
have leaked out, regardless of the precau-
tionary measures taken by the police to
suppress them.
Yesterday the residence of William Hea-
ley, railroad engineer living at "a South
State avenue, was entered while members
Of the family were about the premises, and
robbed Of a purse containing $21. Mrs.
Healey was in the back yard washing,
while another woman was in the kitchen
at work. The thief opened the side door,
entered the dining room and ransacked the
place. He opened drawers and receptacles
and made careful search for money. A
large diamond sticking in a tie was pulled
out of bureau drawer and thrown upon
the floor in the search, but was overlooked
by the thief
Mrs. Healey is confident she knows the
thief by sight and could identify him. A
nalI nOuf DeIOre the ROBBERY q young man
about nineteen years old walked around
the house and presented himself as an APP
plicant for aims. Mrs. Healey describes
him as of fair complexion and with light
curly hair. He was well dressed, and did
not look at all like tramp. Mrs Healey
said that dinner was just over when the
young man called, and that she was busy at
work, and, much as she regretted turn
ing away hungry man, she refused to
stop to wait on him. She says he did not
seem to be at all disappointed in not get
ting anything to eat. Since the robbery
was discovered she is convinced that he
walked around the house and begged food
simply to see how the situation was for
the bold robbery which he contemplated.
The robbery was soon the talk of the
neighborhood and several persons living
close by reported having seen the young
man who is suspected Three different
housewives remember having given him his
dinner, and they all comment upon the
fact that his appetite was light for man
who pretended hunger. In several places
where the young man begged food it was
afterwards discovered that rooms were in
disorder, but nothing was taken, and the
occurrence was not laid to the visit of the
thief. The young fellow, evidently, was
after nothing but money. 1t was reported
that the thief had secured $50 in one house,
but the house could not be located.

ASKED TO RESIGN.
Pension Agent Spencer May Expect "a
Letter from Washington To-Day.

The Journals Washington correspondent
last night telegraphed that Secretary Bliss
had yesterday mailed a letter TO Pension
Agent NJ V. B. Spencer asking his resigna-
ton. 1t was further stated that the de-
partment rather expected a refusal, in
which case Mr.. Spencer would be removed.
Mr.. Spencer has recently removed from his
home, on North Delaware street, and could
not be found last night. He has said upon
several occasions since the effort to GUST
him was set on foot that he would not re-
sign, and there is no reason to think that
he has changed his mind. The charges
upon which his resignation is asked were
filed early in March, and have heretofore
been published They include the violation
of the law in dismissing eX-soldiers from
the service of the agency without cause
and the use OF the Office for political pur-
poses. His successor has long ago been de-
termined upon in the person of ex-Repre-
sentative j. d. Leighty, of the Twelfth dis
trict.

SALOON KEEPERS ARRESTED.
Section of the Nicholson Law Violated
in Two Cases.

1t is we'll known that saloons of the city

visions of the Nicholson law. Few Of the

fly it, regard the closing hour and the screen
feature is practically a dead letter. Re-
Gently there have been many complaints
that games were being played in saloons
as was the custom previous to the passage
of the Nicholson law, but few arrests have

BLUE PRINTS FOR rAGGART MEN.
The ''Push" at n Disadvantage With
out the Usual Precinct Mans.

The city administration has been careful
not to have any of the precinct maps
printed under the new apportionment, and
none will be got out until after the con-
vention next week. The Taggart 'heelers"
are well supplied with blue prints from the
office of the city engineer, while the silver
supporters are still at the disadvantage of
The Taggart people in charge of the pri-
maries next Wednesday night will be the
only ones armed with Information for chal-
longing votes, and if things do not happen
to be going their way they can bar out
enough of the push and run in enough
of their own men from other precincts to
have things as they want them.
This lack Of maps is giving not little
trouble to the Republicans, also, who have
their primaries for organization this even
ing However, there is no factional tight
among them, and all are in the same boat
in the lack of accurate information as TO
the precinct boundaries, and there is not
likely to be much challenging among them.

"Open Sesame" at n Market.

The city has a new plaything in the
form of the electric doors at the Dwight
street entrance to the new city market.
These doors are one of the chief at
fractions of the market, judging from
the streams of people who keep passing
in and out of the entrance just to have
sesame open" These doors are the
only electric doors in use this side Of
Chicago and many will undoubtedly
find them worth coming miles to see.

Women and Exercise.

A woman who has given this import
ant subject much attention says that
water and air are the best tonics and
beautii ). For bathing purposes she
recommends long mittens made from
Turkish toweling. At night the mittens
should be put in a wash-bowl of wa
ter in which a little fine salt has been
dissolved. On rising in the morning
wiring out the mittens, put them on
and rub the whole body briskly. Dry
on a towel, not too coarse, and dress
quickly. Then go out OF doors, If only
for Ave minutes. Walking is the best
exercise. If you cannot walk half a
mile at first walk quarter; keep ON
walking the distance until you can 90
three or four miles without fatigue.
Fresh air will put good color in the
face, and when the health Is good and
the blood circulates freely, the nerves
will be all right. .-.-------.-
