COLUMBUS, Ind, July 31.-The Fourth
congressional district Republican nominal
ing convention will be held Aug IS, at Sey-
mour. Several prominent Republicans have
expressed their willingness to accept the
nomination, but none of them has, as yet,
declared himself a candidate. Prominently
mentioned for the race is Major Charles w.
Lee. Mr.. Lee resides in the same town
with Francis M Griffith, the Democratic
nominee, and is a retired Methodist
preacher. He opposed Mr.. Griffith in the
special election caused by the death of Rep
resentative William S. Holman last year,
but was defeated. Mr.. Lees friends are
urging him to accept the nomination again
this year, and it is more than likely he will
consent to enter the race. Another man who
is willing to oppose Griffith is Hon. IS f.
Kobbe of White Creek, this county. Mr.
Kobbe is a sound money Democrat, but
voted with the Republicans in the. election
of 1896. He represented Bartholomew
county two terms in the Legislature and is
considered quite wealthy. lie is fayorao bly,
spoken of as a strong candidate. Several
Republican papers throughout the district
have proposed the name of Mayor William
J. Beck of this city. Mr.. Beck was recent
ly appointed bandmaster of the One-hun-
dred-and-sixty-fir Regiment, now in camp
at Indianapolis, but was compelled to re-
sign the position on account of the condition
of his eyes. He has served mayor of
Columbus for four years. his term expiring

WAR DEMAND FOR HORSES.

1t is said that the present war has greatly
increased the demard for horses. and that
for the first time since the introduction OF
the trolley, the market is looking up Not
only did the electric railway take away the
occupation of the horse on the street car
but the wide extension of the new system
has materially lessened the demand for
horses for driving purposes. The bicycle has
also had its share in taking business away
from horses, and for the last few years a
very much smaller number have been raised
Prices have been so low that farmers have
given up raising them until the present
stock In the market should be worked off,
1t now happens that the United States gov
eminent needs forty thousand horses right

dark-colored horses are accepted in the
army-dark sorrels, bays, browns blacks
and dark roans-and they should be intelli-
gent and gentle in disposition, from five to

thousand to 1,5O0 pounds.

In TINS country, when we begin wars in

DEMOCRATS STEALING HEROES,
Dewey, Lifelong Republican,
Claimed by HOOsfer BOurbOns.

Dewey, Lifelong Republican,
Claimed by HOosier Bourbons.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
DELPHI, Ind, July 31.-What little en-
thusiasm characterized the Democratic con-
gressional convention at Frankfort that
nominated Joseph B. Cheadle was called
forth by Hon. Samuel Ralstons eloquent
tribute to Admiral Dewey 1.-The Democrat
who won immortal glory at Manila" In
deed for some time the Democrats of north
ern Indiana have appropriated Deweys vic
tory, claiming that it belonged to the DEM
ocratic party, and that no one else should
have any credit for it. He has been made
a plank in number of county and district
platforms and has been elected member
of a number of Democratic clubs. Indeed
there has been some talk of making him the
Democratic candidate for President in 1900.
Democracy, however will have to revise its
calculations. Congressman Lands last week
addressed a letter to Hon. H. II. Powers,
member of Congress from Vermont, inclos-
ing Mr.. Ralston's reference to Dewey, and
asking for the facts. In his letter of reply
Congressman Powers says:
Il am somewhat at a loss to see what
earthly Importance it can be to anybody
to determine the politics of American
patriot. nevertheless, am aware of the fact
that the Democrats have made extravagant
claims in respect to Dewey politics, and
on the floor of the House a few weeks ago
l publicly stated in response to claim CT
Sulzer of New York, that Dewey was a
Democrat. that that statement was untrue;
that he is and always has been since he
became twenty-one years of age stanch
Republican.
II also telegraphed his brother Hon.
Charles Dewey, of Montpelier. VT, in re-
Spect to the matter, and he confirmed my
statement. l have known Dewey since his
boyhood. He was born and brought up in
Montpelier a distance of only twenty-four
miles from my home, and l personally know
that he is as solid Republican as ever
breathed the pure air of Vermont. His
father and brothers are staneh Republicans,
and you can state with the utmost conf
dence. if the question is of any Importance
to anybody, that so far his politics are
conc Irned, Dewey is a Republican, and so
far as his religious belief is concerned, he
is an Episcopaan. Both these facts are
in the common knowledge of every inhabi-
tant of the State of Vermont, and no Demo
crat in the State of Vermont will dispute
my statement"

Enemies Place Nine Sticks of Dyna-

PARIS, Ill, July a.-A servant at the
residence of Col. Terrence Clark this morn
ing discovered four and one-half pounds of
dynamite, which had been placed on the
porch by some enemy for the purpose of
destroying the house. On examination the
police officers found that nine sticks of dy-
Mantle were in the bundle and fuse had
been attached and lighted. The fuse was
four feet long. as was shown by the ashes,
and it had burned to the cap, where it
failed to ignite the explosive. Persons here
who have handled dynamite claim that if
the charge had exploded it would have
wrecked every house in the neighborhood
Colonel Clark resides in a large two-story
brick residence. on the corner of Fourth
street and Jefferson avenue. His wife
daughter. son-in-law and granddaughter
also reside there, and all the family was at
home at the time. Colonel Clark owns
large farming interests in Edgar county,

petrator.

MUNCIE, Ind, July 31-Late this after
noon a small son of Mrs Emma Ranking
found hidden under culvert in West Side.
a suburb of Muncie a 81 bill and a S. bill,
torn into bits, which it is thought by the To-
cal police was secreted under the culvert by
Samuel H. Marshall. now awaiting trial at
Winchester. and indicted with Albers Mus

was employed at the West Side paper fac
tory before and after the Portland tragedy,
and that this money which was marked,
one bill being patched, was found near the
strawboard plant, led the authorities here
to believe that it was placed there by Mar

Texn. Not SNORT Of yoIunteer..

HOUSTON, Tex, July 31.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Wosencraft denies that Texas is short
in furnishing her quota under the second
call. He has furnished the following state
ment: "At the time the second call was
made there were in my office requests from
organized companies in this State to be
listed under the second call in which the
aggregate was fully 1900 men, and individ-
ual requests to the same effect of a vast
number of men. The difficulty with the
Governor In responding to the second call
was not in securing volunteers, but in de-
termining which to select among the $50
companies offered. The slowness in mus
tering the fourth regiment of Texas volun-
teerS into service has been purely the fault
of the machinery of the War Department of
the United States and the hard conditions
relative TO transportation imposed by that
department, and of the neglect by the
United States to furnish shelter and food
for the troops"
