supposed that the Beers would be
without effective artillery, but subse-

stead of being without guns the FARM

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE grand maneuvers
of the French army. which have been
proceeding for the past week in sectional
form, entered their final and general stage
to-day. The scene of operations, La Beauce,
is the great wheat plain of France Four
army corps taking part in the mimic
warfare. The scheme supposes Paris to
be besieged. A French army, from the
southwest, advancing its relief, encounters,
at Charities, an army of the enemy sent
to hold it in check. The headquarters of
the generalissimo. Brugere, are established
at Charities. where the foreign attaches
are also quartered. Lieutenant Tbently
Mott, the American military attache at
Paris, represents the United States. The
maneuvers will conclude Sept. 20, with
review of 100000 troops by President Lou
bet, at Charities
A striking feature of the operations is
the introduction on an extensive scale of
automobiles. in order to secure practical
test of their military utility. Several of
the generals and most of the members of
their STATS have been furnished with fast.
light motor cars, which have proved of
the utmost value. The generals aidS-de-
camp covered unprecedented distances in
few hours yesterday. General Brugere's
OruerIy Oilcer ran ltU KllOmeterS In the
morning, making complete circuit of the
two contending armies. and furnishing
General Brugere with full details of the
situation by noon. Where auto-cars can
be utilized, the use of horses by generals
and messengers would appear doomed.
Heavy forage and provision auto-wagons
are also doing valuable work for the COM
missariat The roads around Charities
simply swarm with autohices-motor cars
and wagons worked by electricity, De-
troleum and steam. Accidents are inevita-
bic, but they have been few, considering
the number of motors.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. Sept. 15.-The cam
paign was opened in this city to-day with a
speech by Ex-Governor w. S. Taylor, Of
Kentucky. The Governor and Mrs. Taylor
arrived on the afternoon train and were
escorted to the big tent just north of the
city by the Nobesville Military Band and
a body of Rough Riders mounted. There
were $500 people in and around the tent

quent speech of Governor Taylor. Walter
r. Fertig, president of the Lincoln League
of this city, presided and introduced the
speaker as 'the former Governor of Ken
lucky de facto and the present Governor de
jure.''
Mr. Taylor was given hearty reception
and his speech was received with marked
attention and with great applause. He pre-
scented the issues in serious, earnest man
ner and with such clearnesS and force that
he made a most profound impression upon
to his own State was when he referred TO
Bryan's hobby of government without the
consent of the governed. In answer to
this Governor Taylor said: Il charge his
party with governing ten States of the
Union without their consent charge that
if he carries my own State he will do so by
an outrage on the suffrage of my people,
Republicans from all over the county
were present and were much pleased with
the meeting and the speech. There was
much earnestness and enthusiasm, and the
party managers express great satisfaction
with the way the people are aroused and
with the interest taken in the campaign.

nounced by all as a masterpiece of argu-
ment and eloquence. Representative Lam
dis was here two days this week and was
highly encouraged over the prospects In
this county. The political conditions were
