ADJUSTMENTS.

Robert Downing, brown of cheek, spry Of
step, and his turret measure reduced from
forty-two to thirty-eight, is attracting no
little attention at the Bates House, where
actor folk are seldom seen during the mos
quito months. Old friends have to look
twice at the famous Gladiator to recognize
him. Downing Is VIGOROUSLY opposed to la
Dor, and during his fifteen years as a star
has always spent his summers lolling
around and accommodating flesh and roars FOR
his winter starring season. Last May Mr..
Downing had flattering offer from Keith
to enter vaudeville, and has kept steadily
at it until this week, when he came to In
diaEapolis to superintend rehearsals for his
week at English's under the auspices of the
knights of Pythias encampment. Vaude-
vile seems to have agreed with the persist
ent tragedian, and he is now trim enough
for romantic role in society drama.
Mr.. Downing resembles so many people in
Indianapolis that he can hardly turn around
without some one coming up with a smile
ana onerlng< aim glad hand. natty
looking "drt.lmer" invited him up to the

nate Capt. Will English for Congress. The
situation was so amusing that Downing

Just run down from Peru for little busi-
ness" and learned the details of an alleged
political plot. "Mr. English is too good a
friend to do me any injury" said Downing
solemnly, and he assured the stranger that
English was all right. Later Mr.. Downing
learned that he had been taken for Leon
Bailey He is now wondering what citizen
will be the next victim. Mr.. Downing ex-
poets to keep open house at the Bates for
his brother knights as soon as they begin to
arrive.

FIGHTING JOE" WHEELER.
Doughty Cavalry Leader Summoned
to Washington for a Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-Major General
Joseph Wheeler, commander of the cavalry
division of General Skaters army, arrived
in Washington tonight about 10 o'clock
from New York accompanied by his son,
Joseph w. Wheeler, member of his staff
In a quiet and transformations manner he
went to the Arlington Hotel, registered as
Joseph Wheeler, United States Army
The doughty cavalryman was instantly
recognized by friends in the hotel. and was
soon surrounded by persons anxious to
greet and congratulate him upon his re-
turn to this country. He received all cor
daily, but modesty. He said his physical
condition was excellent that he felt no i'll
effects of the hard campaign through which
he had been.
Beyond the fact that he had been ordered
by the secretary of war to report in Wash
ington, General Wheeler said he knew little
about the object of his visit From other
sources however it was learned that the
President, desiring to consult with him, had
directed that he be ordered here. Mr.. Nc
Kinley reposes great confidence in the mill
tary judgment of the general Soon after
his arrival General Wheeler went to the
War Department and had a brief chat with
Adjutant General Corbin. Tomorrow he
Will report TO the secretary or war ana later
will call upon the President.
General Wheeler is inclined to the opinion
that the trouble with the Cubans is due
largely to misunderstanding. THE Gu
bans,'' said he, were badly clothed and
badly fed. They do not make an impressive
appearance as soldiers. My belief is that
they misunderstood probably the conditions
about Santiago which we had to encounter.
Few Of them could speak English, and COM
troops was difficult. Yes, l know of the
charges that they refused to work on the
roads and other projects for the assistance
of the American army, but think their re-
fusal was due to some extent at least to a
misrepresentation of the necessity for the
work / found Cubans who were willing to
work after the necessity Of it was explained
to them by interpreters"
General Wheeler did not care to discuss
the Santiago campaign, inasmuch as that
was of the points which he would be
called upon to go over with the President
and the secretary of war. He is gratified
at the prospect of another term in Congress.
The collapse of the opposition to his renorl-
ination and the decision of the p 0ublicans
of his district not to nominate candidate
to run against him he noted w n consid-
cradle and very pardonable pride Unless
his services are needed by the country, it
is the expectation of General Wheeler to
resign from the army some time during the
autumn. so that he may again resume his
duties in the House of Representatives.

CHEADLE'S GOOSE BAKED
POPULIsTs REPUDIATE HIM AND
NOMINATE G. Nj. THOMPSON.
Marshall Murder Trial at Winchester
Develops Contradictory Evil
dence for the Defense.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

FRANKFORT Ind, Aug. 16.-At meet
ing of the Populist chairmen of the several
counties of the Ninth district. held here to-
day, it was decided by unanimous vote
that Joseph B. Cheadle, by accepting the
Democratic nomination for Congress, had
forfeited his rights to the Populist nominal
ton, and George NJ. Thompson, of Upton
county, was nominated to fill the vacancy.
Each of the seven counties except Carroll
was represented by it's chairman, and the ac-
tion unanimous. Charles M Warren, the
district chairman, who refused to cali an
other convention, was deposed from office,
the committee selecting John w. George, of
Clinton county, as his successor. Mr..
Thompson, the nominee, was for many years
a school teacher, but is now Upton coun-
ty farmer. The harmonious action of the
Populist committee was a complete knock
out to the Cheadle forces, who had been do
ing everything in their power to prevent it.
Among the prominent Populists present at
the meeting was Hon. A. G. Burkhart, OF
Upton who pledged himself to stump the
district for the nominee.

BAD DAY FOR MARSHALL.
Defense Witnesses i'm Murder Trial
Contradict Each Other.

Contradict Each Other.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Aug. 16.-The testi-
mony offered by the defense to-day in the
Marshall murder trial was much in the
order of that introduced yesterday, but a
damaging element of contradiction crept
in. The father and brother of the young
woman, Artie Bryan, who testified for the
defendant yesterday, were both on the
stand, and while they corroborated her in
the main, they contradicted her in several
important details. Miss Bryan was also
contradcted by William Beckdolt, another
witness for the defendant, to how Mrs.
Stolz was dressed at the time the Bryan
girl alleged she saw her on Friday An
other feature Of the testimony to-day was
that the witnesses who claimed to have
seen the old lady on Friday, if they agreed
as to time, invariably located her in en-
tirey different localities. The witnesses did
not agree as to the kind of day it was when
they saw her, and on the whole the de-
Tense has lost valuable ground to-day, and
the state is well pleased with the outlook.
j. @. Potter, agent of the l.. E. & w. at
Portland, was put on. to show time of trains
on his line, east and west and their con-
nections, while George Eastman, agent of
the Big Four in this city, was put on for a
similar purpose as to trains over his line
here. Oliver Tiff, in charge of the Portland
electric light station, was another OF de-
PENDANTS witnesses, who thought the lights
were out on Thursday night, but lit on Fri
day night This thought occurred to him
the day the body was discovered.
II. H. Van Vleerh put on to break
force of Frank Markets testimony. F.. S.
Black and Willis Whipple were used as
impeaching witnesses also.
The state this afternoon introduced Geo.
Allen, Mont Mahan, c. T.. Bergman and
Elmer Jones as rebuttal witnesses. These
all live at Portland and when questioned
showed the inaccuracy and impossibility of
many of the statements made by the de-
Tense In fact the conviction OF the de-
PENDANTS guilt is growing at this time, and
it is believed here that the state Mil secure

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 16.-James Owen
and Jennie Fowler, of Elwood, came to
this city last evening to be married. Ander-
son ministers have recently formed so
cial purity organization, in which they
pledge themselves not to marry divorced
people, holding that no divorce, except on
the grounds of adultery, is recognized by
God. Mrs. Fowler was a grass widow and
would marry them. They thought they had

the ceremony and was half through before
last, however, they had to give up the
search and fall back on a justice of the
