REPUBLICANS RESENT 1T.
John Browning's Efforts to Get Col.
III. ID. Smiths Office.

The attempt to have Colonel Harry B.
Smith removed from his Office of county au-
oltor by people who are taking advantage
OF his absence from homo with his .egi-
ment has excited much indignation among
the friends of Colonel Smith and many Re-
puhlicans are indignant over the matter. 1t
was said yesterday that petitions have been
circulated for signatures and that these will
be presented to the County Commissioners
Friday, requesting that the Office of county
auditor be declared vacated and that John
w Browning be appointed TO the place. One
man who saw the petitions yesterday said
that few of them had been signed.
Friends of Colonel Smith declare that this
is the attempt of a man TO break into the
auditors office who has been trying to get
the place for the last twelve years. They
say that he and his friends have taken adj
vantage of Colonel Smiths loyalty and the
fact that he is absent at the front, to get
the coveted Office. r. o. Hawkins, attorney
for Colonel Smith, has lately received let
ter from the latter. who denies fatty that
there was ever an agreement between him
self and Browning in reference to the audit
or's office. Colonel Smiths friends do not
believe these petitions will receive any en-
couragement and they are sure they will
not be entertained by the County Commits
SiOnerS.

FOUR THOUSAND TICKETS SOLD.
The Lawn Fete for the Sick Soldiers
Is n Great Success.

One of the most successful lawn fetes in
point Of beauty and amount of money made,
was that given last evening at the residence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. d. NJ Parry. Four thou
sand tickets of admission were sold before
last night. The large grounds and the adj
joining streets were thronged with people,
showing the general interest taken by the
public when the beneficiaries were the Indi-
ana soldiers. Col Harry B. Smith wrote
letter saying that certain luxuries were
needed for the sick soldiers of Indiana.
Mrs. Parry called meeting of ladies and
presented her plan of giving an entertain
ment to raise a fund. 1t was enthusiasts
tically indorsed and the ladies went to work
to perfect the details. Over 125 women as
sisted, and many young women presided at
the lemonade tables sor served ice cream.
E'he lawn was illuminated with hundreds
of electric lights of red, white and blue.
Scores of lanterns swung from the trees and
porches. Flags of all kinds and sizes were
used for decoration, and the largest flag in
the State covered a wide expanse of high
fence at the rear of the yard. Under the
porte cochere a platform was erected, and
this served as the stage for the musicians.
An excellent entertainment was given
curing the evening: me Boys B snitie
nature, and MontaniS Orchestra added its
appropriate share of patriotic songs. Miss
Jessie Stueman. young miss who has a
genius for the cornct, played "The Sweet
Bye-and-Bye' and was given applause. Mr..
George F. Stott, recently of Minneapolis,
gave patriotic recitationS of a humorous
character and the choir of st. Paul's
Church, under the direction of Mr.. Carl
Hoenig, sang patriotic songs. The, pro-
gramme was attentively listened to by all
who could get within hearing distance.
Thousands were served to ice cream, cake,
candy and lemonade. 1t is hoped that the
proceeds will be at least 81 900. This will be
used TO buy such things for the sick as the
government physicians are not given to
supply, such as canned soups, meats. pneu-
matte pillows, rubber sheets. mosquito net
tings and the like. The Indianapolis boys
will be first supplied, and 1t Is expected that
there will be enough for all the sick soldiers
of the State. The donations were generous
and the work was carried forward with
heartiness and zeal. The articles Will be
forwarded at once

What the Soldier Needs.

The preparation of flannel abdomen bands
for the soldiers has taken quite an extern
sive turn in indianapolis. One citizen who
has visited the soldier camps in the South
suggests that there are other articles which
the soldiers would prefer to receive than
these bands, and it is extremely doubtful
if the men will wear them, even though
some of the doctors may think they are of
advantage. Towels. bandana handlSerchiefs,
mosquito netting and underwear are among
some of the articles the soldiers would APP
preciate. While the government furnishes
underwear it wears out rapidly in a trop-
ical climate, The buttons on the flannel
shirts, when they are bought, are loosely
attached and soon drop Off Compact needle
and button packets would no doubt be
gratefully received; say a dozen or so to a
company. The average soldier has no use
for a comb or brush, for he wears his hair
shingled. which not only saves him the
toilet, but adds a sanitary phase. He does
not care much for a mirror either.

TWO COLORED WOMEN FIGHT
Delma Thomas, the AggressOr, Pre-
possessing and Educated.

Delma Thomas, a prepossessing young COL
ored woman, was arrested last evening by
Detectives Kinney and Spann on a charge
of assault and battery with intent to kill.
She assaulted Lizzie Clark, colored girl,
eighteen years old, at the home of Eta
Brooks, on West Court street, near Black
ford Both women were brought to the po-
lice station, the Thomas woman so drunk
that she could hardly talk and the Clark
woman suffering from a terrible beating.
1t seems that the two women were friends
and had been together during the day in
company with another colored woman
They went out the canal to a place near
Brighton Beach and drank beer and whisky
together. During the afternoon Delma
Thomas and the third woman had a quar-
rel, during which the Thomas woman was
called some vile names. She did not resent
them. When she and Lizzie Clark were
alone at the home of Eta Brooks the Clark
woman told her she was a coward for not
resenting the insult hurled at her by the
third woman. The whisky and beer had
taken effect by this time and Delma
THOMAS would not stand the abuse of Lizzie
Clark. The two women began lighting. The
Clark woman struck at the Thomas woman
with chair and the Thomas woman found
slungshot and gave the Clark woman a
in the head. The Clark woman was taken
to the City Hospital from the Police Sta
ton. She has number Of severe bruises
about the face and head. Dema Thomas
said, after, she became sober that she ex-
pected to be severely punished. She adj
mitted that she was drunk, and that it was
the whisky that made her fight. She is well
known to the police. June 10 she was ar
rested for shooting at John Edwards, a
colored man, well known about town by
the name of "Shine." Shine met her at
Meridian and Ohio streets and tried to cut
her with a knife. She drew pistol and
fired two shots at him. When arrested that
time she was looked upon by the police as a
heroine, and regret was expressed that she
had not done greater damage. Shine disap-
peared. At the hospital it was found that
not of a serious nature though they are
numerous and painful. When Delma
Thomas became sober enough to talk she
said she expected to get the limit of the
law from the police judge this morning. She
is an educated young colorod woman, and
has had many advantages.

SOLDIERS AT STATE FAIR.
Third Call May Add an Attraction to
the Pumpkin Show.


Third Call May Add an Attraction to
the Pumpkin Show.
There is little doubt in the mind of Gov.
Mount, as stated in the Journal some time
ago. about there being another call for a
large number of troops. His reasons for
this line of thought are aside from War
department sources, a study of the stua-
ton of the contending parties in Cuba at
present. There is. in his mind no reason
for Understanding the strength and fight
ing qualities of the Spaniards when behind
earthworls. and if the barbed-wire intrench-
ments are stormed by American troops i'm
mense loss of life will result. The logical
conclusion is, according to the Governor,
that the place must be taken by SIEGE and
with reinforcements coming to the Span
iards, many more men will be needed by
General Shafter to do the work. He be-
lieves that three more regiments will be
asked for from Indiana, and the call is ex-
pected at any time.
The members of the State Board of Agri-
culture have also considered the matter
presumably because they will be asked to
furnish the camp grounds for the troops
The board has decided that the presence of
the soldiers at the fair grounds will be far
from inconveniencing the fair this fall
If the call comes during that period the
soldiers can be allotted the space back of
the race track, where the Northumberland
ntty-ninth and One-h hundred and -sixtieth
oamped on the first CALL The board be-
ileves In many ways the troops will be a
benefit to the fair. as many will come to
see them from parts of the State which fur
nished no visitors at the first encampment
The board has appraised the damage done
to the buildings and fences by the first
troops, aside from the spelling of the grass,
at $500, and the claim will be presented to
the government at the proper time. If it
develops, however, that the money is to be
paid by the State, there will be no claim
presented, but the understanding is now
that the damage will be assumed by the
government.

an aeronaut and was at once accepted This
branch of the signal service is much en-
couraged by the government, but is not
part of the equipment of many volunteers,
owing to there being few competent men
available. Some time ago Mr.. Baldwin Of
fered his services to the government, condi-

BILE loss of his balloon, which is a valuable
one, but at that time his offer was not ac-

corps for some time. Wilson has been, until
he came to join the signal corps, a mate
