BOWERS NOMINATED.
ELKHART MAN WILL LEAD DEMO
GRATIS IN THIS DISTRICT.
Zimmerman Withdrew and Moved to
Make Bowers Nomination Unanimous
Mr.. Wise Did Not Permit His Name TO
Go Before the Convention.

The democrats of the Thirteenth
congressional district met in delegate
convention at the court house yard yes
terdsy afternoon and nominated win
ming candidate. Over 600 people were
present.
Hon. John w. Kern was escorted to
the convention by the Plymouth and
Argos bands.
Peter Kruger called the meeting to
order and explained the object of the
convention. The convention then Sc
lected Hon. George Burson, of Pulaski
county, ss the permanent chairman and
James Fletcher, of Starke county, as
the permanent secretary. All the dem
ocratic newspaper men were made
assistant secretaries.
The roll of counties was then called.
Elkhart county presented DIR. ID. &.
Bowers as its candidate for congress
and Fulton county named a. r. Zim-
merman. There being no other NOM
at this juncture Mr.. Zimmerman
arose and in a neat speech withdrew
from the race. He said that he believed
there was feeling among democrats
that candidate should come from one
of the large counties. After thanking
his friends for their support, he moved
that DIR. Bowers be nominated by sccla-
nation. This was carried and Mr.
Bowers was declared the nominee.
Adam Wise decided before the con-
vention not to allow his name to be pre-
sented, he being only receptive candi-
date, in case there did not promise to
be contest.
The nomination is good one. DR..
Bowers is hard campsigner and is of
German extraction.

THE LEAGUE MAY BREAK.
Dissension in the State Epworth Organ
ization.

Dissension in the State Epworth Organ
ization.
The withdrawal of the Warsaw dis
trict from the State Epworth League
has caused the prediction of the early
dissolution of the state organization.
The state meeting is at South Bend
this week. There has never been vital
connection between the individual
chapters or districts, and the so called
state league From its first organizs-
ton, which is said to have been irreg-
ular, its right to exist has been denied
by many district organizations. 10
komo district has for several years de-
MED allegiance to the state orgsnizs-
tioD.
The Methodist discipline provides
that the pastors of the various churches
shall organize chapters of the league in
their respective charges; that the pre-
siding elder shall organize the several
chapters of his district into district
league. The OILY reference to state
league is to the effect that the districts
"msy" organize a state organization if
they see fit. Prior to the organization
of the present state league the several
presiding elders were notified of the
date of the preliminary meeting. A
very small number was present.-Elk-

to be a funeral procession, but on their
approach it was found that they were
only long line of new buggies that
JOINT was hauling home to sell.
The dance at Lemert's hall on the
evening of July 4th was one of the
best of the season.
There was quite a crowd here on the
evening of the Fourth TO witness the

by nice display of fireworks, which
were discharged from the top of Lemert
