NO CLAMOR FOR OFFICES.
Indiana Seem to Think the
Condition Hopeless.

Jerome Herff, of Peru, an exceedingly
Democrat and a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for treasurer of
state, was at the Grand Hotel last night.
The fact that Mr.. Herff was having a
confidential talk with Leopold Levy, the
present treasurer of state, in the office of
the Grand led some to ask If he was al
ready getting pointers as TO how to run
the office. Mr.. Herf is one of the few
Democratic candidates who nave an
nounced themselves. Although the state
convention is only about a month off. there
does not seem to be a disposition on the
part of the Democracy to clamor for offices.
1t is said that Adam Heimberger, of New
Albany, will be a candidate for secretary of
state again. The friends of John w. Miner
seem to feel that he will make the race
again for state auditor, but that gentle
man has not yet said what he will do. He
declared yesterday that there is a posi-
bility of his not making the race for the
nomination. I'VE Democrats are too busy
watching the Philippine situation" he said.
Ito think about running for Office AT
Democratic committee headquarters they
say they have no list of candidates as yet.

The Frying Pan and Beef Prices.

A Toronto butcher stated to a represent

meat is due to the fact that the women of
to-day are too busy gadding around to cook
meals in the old-fashiOned way. and that
they will buy no meat except what they
can put into a frying pan and cook i'm a
hurry. They will buy nothing but steaks.

roast which can be cooked and served cold

been most marked in respect to the kind of

and clerks. To-day they subsist almost en-
tirely on what the frying pan will cook.

FELL DEAD in BACK YARD
FRANZ ". FACKLER, BREWERY
WORKER, SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
His Young Wife, with "A Babe I'm Her
Arms, Saw Him Fall to the Ground
Due to Heart Disease.

Franz Y. Fackler. 7O1 Sanders street. fell
dead last night in his back yard from heart
disease. Fackler had not been sick, appar-
emily. His death was a shock to his young
wife. He had been employed in the cellar
department at Schmidts brewery for
twelve years. He was a very corpulent
man..
Last night when he went home from the
brewery he ate a hearty supper. lie then
went out and sprinkled the front lawn.
After this he sat on his front porch with
a few of his ellow-workmen. He seemed
in excellent spirits. it was said. taking part
with good cheer in all that was said. His
friends left him about $50 o'clock. Fack-
Ter went TO his back yard to put away his
garden hose. He was leaning over the
hose after making several turns, when he
fell forward dead. His wife was standing
in the kitchen holding an infant child when
she saw her husband fall by the light from
the lamp in the kitchen. She placed the
child in a chair and ran TO his assistance.
She found him dead. She called TO the
~neighbors next door, not fully realizing
that her husband was dead. The neigh
bors came and carried Fackler into the
house. A doctor was summoned. He said
death was instantaneous and was due 10
heart trouble.
Besides the widow two small children
survive. Fackler was forty years old.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANlNGS
INDIANA SILVER REPUBLICAN, IN A
PASSIVE STATE.
DIR. Van VOrhis, Chairman of the state
Committee, Gives His Views
Hotel Visitors.

The Silver Republicans are likely TO re-
main extremely passive this coming cam
paign in Indiana. DIR. F1avius j. Van Vor-
his, chairman of the state committee of
this organization, does not think his asso-
ciates will have much to say this year.
The fact IS, according TO DR.. Van Vorhis,
the Silver Republicans are not in a good
humor toward Democracy, with which they
have been affiliating since they left the Re-
publican party a few years ago. The Silver
Republicans feel that they were betrayed by
the Democratic state committee in Indiana
In the last campaign, and they also feel
that the Bryan Democrats were also be-
trayed by the committee. DR.. Van Vorhis
makes the open charge that the state COM
mittee was not for Bryan.
The committee made no attempt to elect
him." said he, "and more thar that the
committee did not want Mr.. Bryan elected"
DR.. Van Vorhis thinks the committee was
dominated by men who had financial inter
ests at heart more than anything else. He
does not charge that the men who bossed
the committee were corruption the con-
trary, he thinks they are honest men, but
it is the national bank interests that they
are working for. DR.. Van Vorhis feels that
fdrhS NJ. Martln should be criticised for
his action. mo man with a sense of pro-
priety," said he, would have accepted the
position he did on the State Tax Board at
the time he did. To-day" said DR.. Van
Norhls, THE Democratic leaders of the
East are trying to get the party in a posi-
ton where the financial interests of the
country Will not care who
Gratis or Republicans" In commenting on
the position of the Silver Republicans of
Indiana DR.. Van Vorhis declared that the
Republicans have departed from all the
principles that the silverites could embrace
and there is nothing to expect from this
party. Neither is there anything to be ex-
pected from the Democrats, and conse-
quently the Silver Republicans nave no.
where TO turn. They can only hope for
some sort of a 'smash-up' in either party.
DR.. Van Vorhis is of opinion that the Re
publicans will be victorious. in Indiana this
year. He predicts that there will be no
fusion with Democracy on the part of the
Populists.

REBUKE TO FUNSTON.
To Some Extent Deserved, but HIS
~Provocation Was Great.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
There seems TO be some strange fatality
in the Philippine question for army officers.
The rugged old hero. Miles. is in partial
eclipse and at odds with his superiors in
office because of a too ready inclination to
discuss the Philippine situation. The fate
of one unfortunate or a dozen does not
seem TO warn other officers from the same
pitfall, and we now have the brave Fun
ston, whose exploits in the Islands made him
famous, under a sad cloud Of rebuke be-
cause Of indiscreet and hasty speech in crit
icising that foremost of 'aunties," George
Frisbie Hoar. Perhaps General Funston's
friends will feel hat he had justification
for his rather biting references TO the Mas
sachuSetts senator, but the President, with
a due sense OF propriety and the dignity or
the army, thinks otherwise, and rebukes
a sensible officer, General Funston accepts
the reprimand in proper spirit and owns up
to having talked too much, but insists that
his provocation was great.
The public will agree with both PROPOSE
tiOns. The proYocatiOn TO resent some OF
the wild and reckless talk of the critics OF
the administration and the stay-at-home
doctrinaries who condemn without personal
knowledge everything that is done in the
Philippines, is great, indeed, but army Of
ficers are hardly the proper persons TO do
the criticising. There has been entirely too
much loose and heated talk by men of rank
and position in the army service. 1t is
unmilitary and undigniied. There should
never be occasion offered for a rebuke so
sharp and peremptory as that administered
by the President TO General Funston, but
the occasion having arisen, the country Will
rejoice in the neutrality-suspicious. OF Presi-
time and with a force and meaning that 10

NEW ORLEANS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Manufacturers Association VIII BE
Entertained in Great Style.

TON" Richardson, secretary of the New
Orleans Industrial Union, has sent word
to d. NJ. Parry. president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, that New Or
leans is making big preparations for the en-
tertainment of delegates next yeah. When
the victorious New Orleans delegation re-
turned home it was received with an ova-
ton by the enthusiastic New Orleans pub
lie, and steps were Immediately taken for
the formation of a stock company, which
will erect a 5000, coo building for the pur-
pose of setting forth the industrial re-
sources of the South at the convention.
The South American republics will be asked
to send representatives and a display, and
several of them have already agreed to do
so. Mr.. Richardson says that the New
Orleans business men propose to make the
convention one of the events to be remem-
bered by the South. Texas has entered en-
Enthusiastically into the work. and will have
an important exhibit. 1t is proposed ia
make the South American exhibit one Of
the principal attractions of the meeting.

ton that milk dealers must furnish an abb
soluteiy pure supply, said yesterday:
Your brief interview with me in yester-
day mornings Journal was calculated 10
and around Indianapolis are all that could
be desired. l do not know that they are
worse than In other years, but | DO know
that the sanitarian, DIR. Buehler. SAYS
many of them need cleaning up and that
il is going TO be done.
There was no specific case of fragrant
violation Of the milk ordinance presented
10 the board at Thursdays meeting. The
milk test has been made higher and il will
be maintained. The dairy inspector has
been instructed to make a careful examina-
ton of the dairy COWS and report any dis
eased ones that may be found, and the test
for tuberculosis will be made.
1T is the judgment of the board that
the test should be applied only in suspected
cases after a careful examination by the
dairy inspector. The dairies and all places
where milk is sold will be looked after in
the most thorough manner, and any one
violating the laws will be prosecuted 10 the
limit.
This move is no spasmodic effort. but
will be kept up during the present admins
tration. The mayor proposes to back the
board in its efforts to maintain a high
standard of the city's milk supply, and the
board will carry out his wishes. There will
be no persecution of any one, but the fight
for pure milk has been begun and Will be
continued.
so. if any one gets the impression that
there is to be any letting down on the part
of the board, he is badly deceived. We
have asked for an additional appropriation
TO make the crusade thorough. Not only
will the milk supply be looked after, but
the meat supply, as well, which is Of al
most equal Importance
DR. Buehler said yesterday: "Whil the
board does not desire that any sensational
stories be printed about a bad milk supply,
because such stories can only do harm,
yet it wishes the milk dealers to under
stand that there will be no let up in the
resolution to enforce the milk ordinance"

of the island, he says that. place needs
cleaning up and also needs a good boost
from the States. 1t has been under Span
ish rule so long that il will require some
time to make the country just what the
Americans would desire. Lieutenant Cakes
is an intimate acquaintance of Postmaster
Lands and Lee Nixon, chief clerk in the

London Mail

LondOn Mail.
The dean of New College gave some In
teresting facts about the average cost OF
living at the university. Two hundred a
year was ample for an undergraduate 10
live the ordinary life OF the college. But
then IL must be remembered that the
terms only last six months. II II was the
intention OF the bequest that the colonial
or foreign student should support himself
all the year round, even then the sum
named In the will was ample. Wth refer
ence TO the general scope OF the bequest
this gentleman said that Mr.. Rhodes fell
into the same error as most benefactors OF
educational institutions. They forgot that
education needed endowment. They gave
learners the facilities 10 attend a univer-
sity, but they forgot that very often that
university itself was in Noeful need OF
money 20 extend and improve the educa-
tional facilities IL had 20 offer. oxford Uni
versity was very poor. And when IL was
considered that the student paid exactly Al
a year. neither more nor less. for the ad-
vantages the university offered IL became
a question whether that amount was not
too small.
