CoNGRATULATES M'KINLEY.
Mr.. Hanna Finds Strong Encourage
ment in Presidents Speech.

III. H. Hanna, who is the leading spirit
in. the movement for a reform of the cur
rency laws, expressed great satisfaction to-
day at President McKinley's utterances at
the New York manufacturers banquet last
night.
1T is apparent to my mind" said Mr..
Hanna, that President Mckinley not only
realizes that something should be done but
that whatever is done should be done quick
ly. His words will be strong encourage
ment to every friend of currency reform
both in and out of public life. President
Mckinley is too wise q man not to know
that this demand for a betterment of our
national finances comes from the business
men of the country, irrespective of politics.
1t was the business interests that elected
Mr.. Mckinley. When 1 speak of the bust
ness men, 1 mean every man in this coun-
try whose capital, whether it be brains, Ia
Dor or wealth, great or small, is invested in
the struggle for existence or in the various
enterprises, from the small corner grocery
to the great mandatory employing thou
sands of men, All of these people almost
without exception, supported Mckinley, not
alone because he was Republican, but
because he stood for an honest currency.
They now demand that our currency shall
not only be the pest, Out DIS the GEeSluenI,
himself has said, tho intention to have
sound money must be given the vitality of
public law This is an indication to my
mind that President Mckinley is convinced
since the debate in the Senate on the Teller
resolution began that nothing will now
satisfy the country but thorough revision
of the currency Iaw-such revision, for eX-
ample, as was recommended in the report
of our monetary commission few weeks
ago. The time has passed when we can
afford to temporize with this matter. Our
opponents have made the issue clear. They
ratio of 16 to /. We arc not only for sound
money, but we must enact such legislation
as will prevent the possibility of our drift
ing to an unsound basis and that can only
be done by a thorough readjustment of our
monetary system. The President speaks
with no uncertain sound. While he admits
the difficulties that lie before us he shows
that progress cannot fail to be made after
a full and fair trial. There is a deal of
cussion cannot hurt us and that half-heart-
edness never won a battle. That is the
spirit that animates the currency reformers.
This movement was started under dis
couraging circumstances, but has made
rapid progress from the moment the work
began, and the progress will be more rapid
in the future now that the President has
planted himself so firmly and unequivocaly
on our sisde.
graduating him in the name of the business
men of the country who We're represented
by the four hundred delegates from thirty
five States in our monetary convention for
the advanced position taken by him on this
important subject.

Mr.. LII FoLLETTE'S AFFAIRS.
His Claims as to the Capiaa Served
on Him.

A capias was served upon Harvey M. La
Toilette at the Bates House Thursday even
ing in suit brought against him originally
in the Superior Court of New York city,
where a Judgment was given for $1,000 in
favor of James ID. Dill, whence it was
transferred by transcript to the Superior
Court of Marion county. 1t was claimed
that Mr.. La Toilette was a nonresident,
and was about to leave for the State of
Tennessee Mr.. La Toilette gave bond for
his appearance. and at the opening of court
yesterday morning, at the request of his at
torney, proceedings were postponed until
Friday morning Feb. T. when the matter
will be heard before Judge Harvey.
A publication in an afternoon paper con-
tanned the statement that the plaintiff, Mr..
Dill, had surrendered to Mr.. La Toilette
certain collateral upon the. basis of an
agreement that Mr.. La Toilette had subse-
quently refused to carry out. When seen
at the Bates House and asked about the
matter Mr.. La Toilette said:
1.-THE statement that there was ever any
collateral held by Mr.. Dill or his firm and
surrendered TO me Is a falsehood. Mr. Dill
never held any bonds or other assets of
mine He acquired tha notes in contro-
claim Mr.. Dill knew that the party did not
own the notes. and that they were bens,
misused and were without consideration.
He transferred them to a third party, who
claimed to be an innocent holder, and so
obtained the judgment. Then Mr.. Dill
bought back the Judgment This was the
entire transaction. All statements to
any collateral having ever been held or
heard of in connection with the notes are
untrue, and are only made for the purpose
such a step was unnecessary and mali

INDIANA At PARIS IN 1900.
State Board of Commerce Committee
Appointed.

When the State Board of Commerce was
in session week ago there was a resolution
adopted looking to the representation of In
diana at the Paris exposition in 1900. The
resolution provided for the appointment of
a committee OF five to develop interest in
the subject in this State. President For
tune has appointed e. B. Martindale. of this
city; Charles l.. Jewett, of New Albany;
Hugh Doherty, of Bluffton; John G.
Shanklin, of Evansville, and James H.
Smart, of Purdue University, as the mem
bers OF this committee. e. B. Martindale
is chairman. Professor Smart was the In
diana commissioner at the Centennial ex-
hibition of the United States in Philadelphia
in 1876. This week one of the delegates to
the monetary convention was Mr. Adams,
OF Massachusetts chairman OF the state
Board of Trade of that State, which is
interested in this topic, and who urged the
passage of resolution favoring action by
the United States with regard to the ex-
position. His desires were Endorsed by the
passage of resolutions heretofore published.
Mr. Adams gave Mr.. Fortune some valua-
bic information with regard to the plans of
Massachusetts in this connection. The ex-
position committee, under the chairman,
ship of Mr. Martindale, has not yet had
time to develop plans,
Mr.. Fortune is receiving many letters
from various parts of the State. which go
to show that the recent meeting of the State
Board of Commerce has done much toward
developing the idea of local organization
for commercial purposes. In the last ten
days many local organizations have been
formed and all express a desire to become
associated with the State Board of Com
merce. There is especial interest expressed
with regard to the question of reform in
county and township government. discus
sion of which was quite general during
the late meeting. Papers of the State are
discussing the subjects that were before
the meeting quite fully and President For
tune feels that much good must come from
the talk about the meeting.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed cor

Brutal Stepfather,

New Martinsville, w. Va. Dec. g.
Inc intelligence reached here by tel
ephone last evening to the effect that
sam Harrison, well known character
living on McAllister Ridge, about
twelve miles in the interior of the
county, had committed a most brutal
crime.
About year ago Harrison married
a Miss Johnson, of that section, who
was the mother of very pretty lit
tie girl. For a short time the couple
got along all right, but it was not long
until the step father took aversion to
Lhe little one, and from that time un-
til the present she has been the cause
of sort of dog and cat existence be-
tween the husband and wife.
Yesterday afternoon Harrison or
dered the little one to do some trivial
duty, and because she did not rush to
accomplish it as quickly as she might
have done, he lost his temper, and
seizing a large club close by struck
her across the back, breaking it.
A telephone message was sent to
this city, and the Prosecuting Attor-
ney went out last evening to investi-
gate the case. 1t is certain the little
one cannot live, as her spine has been
fatally injured. Harrison has skipped
out.

Chapman Wants to Try Again.

1t is whispered in select political
circles that plain Horace" Chapman
would like to take another shy at the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
He is more than willing While he is
not a declared candidate, plain Hor-
ace" is asking some very funny ques-
tions for a man who is not willing to
be forced" into the field The last
gubernatorial campaign cost Mr..
chapman pretty penny, for it is
known that ,he Myers crowd was very
expensive at number of stages of the
campaign. At ithe Dayton convention
Mr.. Chapman took an active part in
choking off the report of Hon. Uric
Sloane, proposing reorganization of
the. party machinery, and with Doc"
Norton posing as chief spokesman, the
pair succeeded in heading off the riot
aIarm. AT that time the Jackson
Franklin statesman tuned his voice to
the meter of a megaphone, and the
windows of Lake View Park casino
ratified as if in a storm. With Chap
man in the field there will be all sorts
of fun in the preliminary campaign.
1t is understood that John A. Pfeifer
is about to be installed into the Office
as chief of the Chapman bureau of
publicity and promotion. 1t was

Meteor Seen at Newark,

Newark o., Dec. IA meteor of ex-
ceptional size and brilliancy passed
over this city at 5:5S o'clock this
morning. Its course was from east to
a little north of west, and it passed
near the zenith, and as it approached
the western horizon burst into thous-
and fragments and disappeared,t though
it left a trail behind it which did not
entirely vanish for some minutes.
About 40 seconds elapsed from the
time it was first seen until it burst and
vanished. Many passengers going or
coming on the Baltimore and Ohio
train No. II, standing at the depot at
the time, saw the meteor. The color
emitted was blue, and had it not been
nearly sunrise it was probably bright
enough to cast distinct shadow.
