TAGGART IS TRIMMING
REALIZES HIS POLITICAL DANGER IN
FIGHTING ROCKFORD.
Country Districts Believe His Silver
Plate Is Wearing Of-Ayres
Instead OF Sahm.

Mr.. Taggart is now doing a little trim
ming. This is an old habit of his. When
ever he finds himself in an embarrassing
position he simply puts in a new reef and
Off he goes on a new tack. The reason for
this latest exhibit of his skill in trimming
has been caused by the word that comes
to him from the country districts. The news
of the fight for the Marion county Demo-
cratic organization is becoming noised
abroad, and the Popocrats of the State are
getting ready to make war on him. This
is very discouraging to man who wants to
be candidate for Governor two years hence.
Despite all his best endeavors to make the
Popocrat believe he is a simon pure 16-to-1-
or-bust Democrat, he finds himself pro-
claimed as a silver-plated individual whose
plating is wearing off. So it now behooves
him to send out orders to his followers to
let up on Rockford. and In consequence
there is a truce for the time being between
the warning factions. Harmony" is now
the slogan but it is only superficial har-
mony. The threats and intimidations Of the
past week failed to move the free-silver
boss in the Stevenson building, and even
the last scheme to call meeting of the
influential" Democrats to set down on him
has been at least temporarily abandoned.
The bluff did not work, and now it means
a quiet hustle to carry the primaries. Or
at least this is now the talk.
The failure to wiring any concession what
ever from the Rochfordites may. be taken as
a distinct defeat to the Taggartites and fore
shadows the probability that the party in
this county will continue to remain under
the able control of the free-silver wing.
Edward Little is to be the successor of
Rockford as county chairman, and a ticket
will be nominated that contains none but
the push. The Taggartites have finally set
tied on Alex; G. Ayres as their candidate
for county chairman, as Albert Sahm has
definitely declined the honor. Judge AyreS
agrees to stand for the place.
expected as the results of the primary
meeting, and the Rochfordites are placing
their hopes on the rulings of their Gre
dentials committee. Wherever the gold
Democrats outcount the silverites it is ex-
pected that the committee will rule the
gold men out. In this way Little will be
made chairman and the Taggartites will
then have the opportunity of setting up a
second organization if they have the nerve
to do it.

IT HELPS RIPPLE FIELD
GAS WASTE DECISION TURNS OIL or
ORATORS no THIS TERRITORY.
standard Company VIII Test the
Trend 10 BrightwOod This week
Wells in Last Week.

The Broad Ripple oil field is gradually
developing into one OF the best fields in the
State. 1t Is now producing about 500 barrels
a day and as there is no gas 1t will likely
attract to Il the prospectors now engaged
In the Alexandria and other fields where
the flow of natural gas makes further de-
velopment impossible at this time.
Two good wells were struck in the field
last week. Gilchrist & Goodrich shot their
we'll No. 2, on the Brunson farm, on Fri
day and obtained go barrels in twenty-four
hours, including the head. IG was placed in
working condition Saturday night and is
good for $50 barrels a day The other well
struck was by the Standard Company on
the Dawson farm on Saturday and is good
for seventy-five barrels a day. Mr.. Gold
rich was much pleased over the results fol-
lowing the shooting OF well No. 2. He says
shat it is one of the best wells thus far
obtained. The Mitchell we'll. No. 2, that was
brought In about two weeks ago, is yielding
two hundred barrels a day, while the
Carver well No. 3 is running about $50 bar
rels. These ere the best wells in the field.
The new well Is located south OF the canal,
between Central avenue and Illinois street,
and seems to Indicate that the trend of the
oil flow Is south toward the city, although
some still think 1t is south and east, to-
will shoot g well this week which will test
the theory that the trend is toward Bright

new rigs on the Brunson and the McElvain
farms.
Mr.. Goodrich is of the opinion that the
gas vase cases will be carried into the
Uaited States courts. The Ohio Oil COM
pany, being an Ohio corporation, could
readily do this, but in the meantime opera
ti0ns in the Alexandria field must cease.
This will naturally tend TO give the Broad
Ripple field a boom, Mr.. Goodrich thinks.

THE CREED OF WHITTIER.
Rev. @. N. Sims's Series of Talks on
Great Literary Men.

Great Literary Men.
"The Greed of the Poet Whittier" was the
subject of a discourse by Rev. c. N. Sims,
pastor of the Merid1an-street NJ e. Church,
last night The pastor is delivering a course
of talks on literary lights, tending to show
that the works Of those who have COM
manded attention have reflected the ideas
and aspirations of their readers. The text
last night was "As certain also Of your own
poets have said" Acts xvii, rs.
"a doer of great deeds commands and
compels the attention of the nultitudes, /"
said DIR. Sims. IF he invents useful ap-
paratus, as the telegraph or telephone, or
steam engine or sewing machine, his fame
is assured. If he organizes a great political
movement or leads armies to victory, he
impresses himself upon public notice, no
matter what men think of him. The writer
is not so. He comes only with his thoughts,
clad in such display of language as his
skill and genius can produce, and then he
waits patiently for the hearts and minds
of men TO turn to him. Most wait in vain
and are forgotten. Some are lifted into
brief notice by transient popularity and
are as quickly laid aside, as the last
years fashions. But some win their way
to public appreciation and continue to hold
Their standing is assured. Shakespeare can
never become obsolete. Walter Scott will
never be out of print We cannot conceive
of an English literature with Lowell
omitted. Holmes and Whittier. Emerson
and Irving cannot die. IonSfellow is inn
mortal. All these have spoken the expert
ences of the multitudes of their readers and
have voiced their inarticulate longings and
hopes until they have become representa-
tive expressions of those who study and
believe them. So that when one reads now
the vision of Sir I4annfal, ii il not simply
Lowell who speaks to him, but all the peo-
pie who know and love the sweet poem of
this soulful poet. st. Paul recognized this
concurrence of thought among the Greeks
and it's immense value when he quoted as
proof of the one Supreme Being the words
of their own poets, for we also are His
offspring.
II desire to direct your attention now
to some of the doctrines and religious feel
ings and hopes which our own poet Whit
tier has expressed, and which the multi
tudes of his reader claim as their own
through him. They thus become the faith
and yearning of all these people made
known through him to you. This is his

"COL." WARDS TRAIL.

Years Ago.

Col. A. J. Ward, the man arrested in this
city for swindling the Terre Haute House
of Terre Haute out of s10G by means of a
bogus check, is said to be one of the
smoothest criminals in his line in the coun-
try. 1t is likely the Great Northern Hotel
of Chicago will try to have him taken there

answer when the Terre Haute authorities

1t Is said that he is the same man who
visited Indianapolis two years ago and tried
to work his checkbook on several wholesale
merchants but failed. His long residence
in the national capital gave him an oppor-
tunity to make the acquaintance of promi-

has since been using them In his operations.

Evangelist Howard Stewart preached to
large audience at Brenneke's Academy
yesterday afternoon, his subject being THE
Midnight Cry" Mr.. Stewart claims to be
divinely commissioned to preach the imme-
date second advent Of Christ. According
to Mr.. Stewart the church has departed
from the teachings OF Christ and the prin-
ciples of apostolic religion to such an ex-
tent that the just and righteous vengeance
of an indignant God can and will only be
satisfied with a terrible retribution, which
is about to be visited upon a sinful world.
Mr.. Stewards belief is sustained by quite
an ingenious argument He compares the
condition of the people of Indianapolis with
that of the inhabitants of the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah, who, in spite of re-

NEW COURT HOUSE
And JAIL Some ofthe Reasons Why
the Vote Should Garry.

First-The present Court House is
an inf1amable structure, exposing the
records and papers to destruction by
fire at any time.
Second-It is not large enough to
accommodate the various county Of
fees, the county business having out
grown the building.
Third-The county is out of debt
and all kinds of building material are
cheap, making it favorable time to
build.
Fourth--There are large amounts of
oil property in the county subject to
taxation which in few years may be
gone.
Fifth--The additional tax will be SO
small that no taxpayer that has the
proper pride in county affairs ought
, to hesitate moment.
Sixth--The demands for more room
and fire protection are so urgent that
they can not longer be neglected.
Either new bu- ding or a costly ad-
dition will have to be built. The peo-
pie will never consent to another ad-
dition being made to this old building,
therefore the only alternative is to
vote for new building.
Seventh--The Jail is a disgrace to
the county. 1t has been condemned
by grand juries for 90 years.
Eighth-The laws of Ohio positively
prohi.-, Juvenile offenders from being
confined with adult prisoners. In
this Jail the law can not be carried
out The only way is to build new
Jail.
Ninth-In case of insane prisoners
who frequently are confined in the
jail, there is no place for them except
in the women's room, which is likely
to be occupied.
Tenth-The present Jail is insecure.
Any expert craftsman can easily get
out of IL.
| These are some of the arguments
why you should vote for this propo-
sition. There are others. However,
if these are not convincing, nothing
can be. 1t would seem to reasonable
man they ought to be conclusive.

is formed.
