w. S. HAGGARD in TOWN
HIS IDEA OF GOVERNING THE STATE
INSTITUTIONS.
He Talks Freely ON the Subject-The
Boom for Governor
q Taggart Scheme.

w. S. Haggard, of Lafayette. spent Sun
day in the city, a guest at the Denison.
He says he feels that his chances for Sc
curing the nomination for Governor are as
good as those of any other candidate. He
says he has made a pretty thorough can
vass and finds that people generally agree
with him on the question of nonpartisan
control of state penal and benevolent in
situations.
Mr.. Haggard yesterday gave his views on
this question. 81 believe" he said, that
people have a right to know the views of
a candidate on any important question. 1
believe in minority representation on
boards of control, and as L am certain that
If all the institutions were under the con-
troll of a single board and a single super
intendent nineteen-twentieths of the Re
publicanS of the State would insist that
such superintendent should be of their
party faith L see no reason why the super
%intendent of a single institution should not
conform to the same rule, and L know OF
no reason why he could not exercise the
functions of his office in a nonpartisan
spirit as we'll as If he were a Democrat. l
agree that all of the institutions should be
kept out of politics; that they should not
be used to advance the political ambitions
of any man or combination of men. Not
that the attaches should have no politics,
but that they should not be allowed TO
combine in the interest of any candidate.
The merit system should prevail in the Sc
lection of all s~ubordinates, and every coun-
ty in the State should have representation
ia the state government according to pop
u~lation. I nave found In my canvass or the
State that about one-third of the coun-
ties have little and many OF them no rep
resentation of any kind in the state gov
eminent"

III some unknown manner and place, made
arrangements with the water company for
the water to be withdrawn from the canal,
not being satisfied that the men who had
been dragging the canal for several days
mad not dragged over her body without
nnd1rg 1t. Early yesterday morning Mr..
Sewage and several friends and workmen
went 10 Broad Ripple, and the canal was
thoroughly examined all the way to the
lndiana-avenue bridge. The water in the
canal south OF Broadcut was not all drawn
out, but the search gave no evidence that
the body Of Miss Sewage was in the canal.
Mr.. Joseph Sewage said last night that
the quest of his sisters whereabouts would
continue, though he did not know what
more could be done. He has offered a re-
ward. and asks that persons having old
wells. cisterns and outbuildings on their
premises IN which a person in distress
might have fallen or crawled for shelter be
examined. Though every attempt to find
the missing woman has thus far failed.

opinion that Miss Sewage has been taken

think possibly she may yet be found.

pital a dark blue fiannelette wrapper and

large, and because of an operation are
pear-shaped rather than the usual shape.

CONFERENCE Is CALLED
TO CONSIDER AN ARTICLE ON CON-
DITION OF WATER MAINS.
Mayor Taggart and the Board of Safe
ty Consider the Matter-New
Water Contract.

Mayor Taggart and the members of the
Board of Safety held a conference yester-
day afternoon TO consider the publication
In the Journal OF the condition of the
water mains that have been down several
years. The city officials are preparing to
enter into a new contract with the water
company and have. for some time, been
quietly pursuing their Investigations.
They have found the conditions to be as
Indicated in the Journal article, but, as
the mayor and members of the board said.
yesterday, they do not want to unduly
alarm the business men of the city. While
they recognize that the situation is seri-
Gus they hope the big water mains i'm the
central portion of the city will hold out
until new ones can be laid.
The mayo said. last night. that very
little of Fridays conference with the
Board OF Safety and the fire chief was de-
voted to the consideration of the water
mains. but 1t is understood the matter has
been a fruitful theme for conference and
consideration ever since Vice President
Davis. OF the water company. notified the
city, some time ago. that the big mains
were in bad condition. due. as he claimed.
to the inroads OF electrolysis
The matter will be still further consid-
cred by the Board Of Safety and Mayor
Taggart. I'm connection with the proposed
new water contract.

THE HOWARD BOOM.
A Prominent Democrat Says 1t La n
Taggart Scheme.

A prominent Indianapolis Democrat, In
speaking of the Howard ~gubernatorial
boom yesterday. was not inclined to &C
cept the matter seriously. do you know
what I think said he; az believe that
this Howard boom, and this collars boom,
and also the Menzies boom are all In the
interest of Taggart.'
The prominent Democrat went on to say
he had little faith in Mayor Taggart's as
sertion that he would positively not be a
candidate for Governor. 81 suppose he
really isn't a candidate" said he. when
you come to analyze the question. But 1t
will be like the mayoralty nomination. He
was not a candidate and only yielded to
the overwhelming clamor of his friends.
II may be the same way with the guber-
Material situation. Taggart is not a can
didate, but may become one because of
the demand of his party" The prominent
Democrat intimated that the convention
might compromise on Taggart after a bal
lot or two had been cast for collars, How
ard. Menzies, etc. In connection with the
Howard boom the man said he believed
that the talk about Judge Howard was
started for the purpose of injuring b. f.
Shiveley's candidacy, since he and Howard
reside in the same city. The Democrat
further minated that Mr.. Taggart was
the originator of the scheme. He said that
If Shiveley was nominated 1t would not be
because he was popular with his party, but
because he was the nominee of the last
convention.

The origin, organization. growth. success
and achievements of the Republican par
ty in the United States constitute one of
the most interesting passages in our his
tory as a nation. The complete history
of the party would be largely a history
of national progress during the period of
its existence. as would its history by
States of the various Northern States in
which it has had it's greatest strength. A
History of the Republican Party in In
DIANA" by Russell NJ. Seeds. treats the
subject more thoroughly, as far as KNOWN,
than 1t has been treated in or for any
other State. In the nature of things such
a history must necessarily omit many
things, as indeed every history does, but
II must be judged by what ii contains
rather than by what it omits. This one
presents in comparatively brief compass
a very intelligent account of the organi-
zation of the Republican party in this
State, of its successive conventions. plat
forms and campaigns, together with bio
graphical sketches and portraits of many
of its leaders. notices of its clubs, etc. An
opening chapter on government by party
Is followed by others on Causes and Birth
of the Republican Party" its Beginnings
in Indiana" Campaigns and Platforms"
Republican State Government" ''Infiu-
ence Upon National Affairs" etc. There
are biographical sketches of 26 persons
known as Republican leaders. with por-
traits of many. OF course, hundreds of
persons who have at one time or another
been leaders in the party are not men,
toned, but 1t would take several volumes
TO include them all. A few typographical
errors in names occur, as John d. De
Frees for Defrees; John =. Upshur, once
secretary of the interior. instead of Usher;
Robert w. Thompson instead of Richard
w. Thompson; James Hughex, judge of
the Court of Claims, instead Of Hughes;
Andrew G.. Curtain, war Governor OF Penn
s~ylvania. instead of Curtin. Boles. of Sons
of Liberty fame. instead of Bowles; Malon
d. Manson instead of Mahlon ID. These
errors do not detract from the merit of the
book. but they detract somewhat from the
perfection Of its otherwise beautiful pages.
AS a whole the text does great credit to
the author, or editor. as he Is modestly
styled on the title page. geographically
and mechanically the book is a very hand

ing resources of this city. Ii is published

T GIBSON u
Attorney Thompson Represents Some
Chicago People.

Attorney Jack Thompson returned from
Cincinnati Saturday evening, where he
spent several days last week. He Is the
mysterious James d. Thompson" who
was written up" at length in the Cincin-
natl newspapers in connection with a re-
ported deal relating to the Gibson Hotel
property. 1t was said in Cincinnati that
Mr.. Thompson was representing a syndi-
cate of Chicago and Indianapolis men who
wanted to buy or lease the Gibson House.
Many Indianapolis people were unable to
identify the name of James d. Thomp-
son." since the young man who was sup
posed to answer to that name is known
here as Jack Thompson. He is con-
nected with the law office of Ferdinand
Winter.
Mr.. Thompson admitted. last night, that
he went to Cincinnati to see about buying
or leasing the Gibson House. He said he
represented some Chicago L1en. but would
not admit that Indianapolis people were
interested I'm the negotiations. He says that
no definite conclusion has been reached In
relation to the property.

TALKS OF PHILLIPS BROOKS.

TALKS OF PHILLIPS BROOKS.
Chaplain McCabe paid a high tribute to
Phillips Brooks. the %well-known Episcopal
Ian divine. saying that he greatly enjoyed
reading Bishop Brooks's sermons. but he
remarked that occasionally he found state
ments in those d~iscourses with which he
could not quite agree. II once came across
a remark by Bishop Brooks to the effect
that he wished his people would get over
their habit If 'immediateness, that is, of
wanting things accomplished in a hurry. If
Phillips Brooks had seen as many souls
converted as j have. he would never have
said that When a man wants religion he
gets imbued with the spirit of Immediate
ness He wants to be saved right away,
and Christ can save you in a minute"
The bishop referred eioquently to George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln in his
sermon. saying:
Some men get so great that their titles
all fall off of them like faded bouquets.
You can't give George Washington all his
titles. George Washington is enough.
When you speak of Lincoln you just wan
to say Lincoln. or Abraham Lincoln. and
his whole history starts up before you"
Bishop McCabe is a teller of stories of
no mean ability, and his discourse last
night was pu%nctuated in a most delightful
manner with anecdotes related In his in
imitable ~colloquial style. He told of the
ScOtchman who, when his Vile asked MIN:
Danny, do We think that we will know me
over there?" replied quick as a fash, I'll
be in heaven a thousand years before i
think of We at ALL" He spoke of his own
conversion. which, he said, took place fifty
six years ago. He and a number of other
boys were seated together in the little
church. and no one seemed to notice their
presence. Finally a good, pious deacon
spied them and roared out heartily: Boys.
come to Christ, all of you" And" said
the bishop, I'VE all made a dive for the
altar, all of us in a row."
Notwithstanding his severe labors at the
three services yesterday, Bishop McCape
seemed as fresh last night as If he had only
begun his work. Although a man of nearly
seventy years of age, he scarcely looks
more than fifty-five. He is the possessor
of a fine physique. a ruddy face and a voice
that is marvellous for its clearness and
power. He is famed for his ability as a
singer, and by way of explanation of his
failure to respond TO the general desire OF
the congregation to hear samples of mis-
vocal power, he said that it was because he
had no small organ. and the large pipe
organ made too great a volume of sound
for his voice. He promised, however, to
sing all the songs he is requested to sing al
the lecture which he is to deliver tonight
in Central-avenue Church on the subject
Bright Side of Life in Libby Prison"
Governor Mount will be the presiding
officer and introduce Bishop McCabe to
his audience tonight.
