DEMOCRATIC RING MANAGEMENT.


of Trouble at Anderson.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Sept. 29.-The Demo-
cratic county central committee and the
campaign managers of the party are hav-
ing serious time in this county to get all
party workers together. The recent turn
down of number of competent and aspir-
ing young Democratic attorneys in this
city for the office of city attorney by the
ring clique of the Democracy in favor of
B. III. Campbell, and at the same time dis
appointing the wire nail mill workers, who
asked for the appointment of one of their
men to position under the new Democrat
ic city administration has set the party can
didates to working for themselves. 1t Is
partly on this account the alleged partial
ity of the rings favoritism for the Ander-
upon candidates are not paid. Dee Jones. a
young attorney of the north part of the
county, has been asked to put up $500 for
the campaign. The ring managers here
read the riot act to young Jones for not re-
spending. Jones, his father and brother,
are all well to do A brother of the candi-
date responded, and at meeting here
plainly informed the managers that not a
dollar of the Jones money would be put up
to be squandered by the committee.
The Democrats have no issue in this coun-
ty, save an attempt to defeat Judge Nc
Clure and elect Auditor Grim and Deputy
Clerk William Malone. They have not
made an appointment or announced a
speaker, and II is believed they will not
do so. The Republicans are in better con-
dition now than for years, and it is be-
lieved they will win the best victory yet
achieved at the polls

EMILE lola.
Ills Life and the Writing of the Great
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Series.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT series.
Emile Zola was born in Paris on April q
1910. the son OF an Italian engineer. His
father died when he was seven years old
and his mother struggled TO give her son
an education. From the age of twelve to
eighteen he was student at the College Of
AK, and for two years remained at the
Lycee Louis de Grand, devoting his time to
the study OF French literature. In the final
examination he was ''pIucked' because he
could not give the date Of the death Of
Charlemagne. Then he set about to earn
his own living, friend securing position
for him IN business house at a salary OF
s12 a month. After two months drudgery
I'm this position he gave IL up, preferring to
risk his literary talent and face absolute
starvation to eking out a mere existence IN
"A business house Then followed six months
OF Indebtedness and want, during which
time he drifted to the Hotel Borgne, the
lowest type of hotel. where he was forced
10 nlingle with the most rafish students
and the lowest Of female outcasts. Ponce
raids were almost nightly occurrences, and
IL was very inferno for him. At the END
Of six months friend secured position
for him in the publishing house OF
Hachette. and from that time fortune ia
vored him, although IL was not until 1901
that he first began TO achieve fame.
Zola's work in criticism. politics ana
drama lacked equally OF success, but his
talent Powered IN writing short stories.
Being a student of human nature, he
sought the different phases of life for sub
tects for his works, and his general re-
search and personal experience gave him
technical knowledge of all professions, oc-
equations. crafts. economic conditions and
the historical and recent events In France.
After the revolution Zola began the great
Rougon-Macquart series. comprising a
score of volumes, all connected with the
appearance of the same or different men,
bers OF the family. He began with a gem
eral sketch. la Fortune des Rougon.
La Curee" and "Son Excellence Eugene
Rougon'' deal with the society of the later
days Of the second empire, La Faute de
Liable Mouret'' and La Conquete de Plas-
sans" are vivid studies of provincial life
and attack celibacy, lie Yentre de Paris
takes up the lowest strata OF the Partisan
population, "LAssommoir' depicts drunk
enness, '.Pot-Bouille' the lower bourgeoise
and their servants. "Au Bonheur des
Danes is a sketch OF the universal pro-
viders," "Une Page glamour" and La
Joie de Vivre'' are more moderate and gen.
orally human. Mana Is devoted TO the
cult OF the goddess Lubricity. 'LOeuvre'
deals with art and literature, La Terre"

ton estate in litigation for the profits of
persons interested in no way in the estate
are brought against II. NJ Blackmer and
c. c. Hamln, two of the administrators
to collect appointed by Judge Orr Black
mer being declared to have already provid-
ed money of his own in an effort to carry
out the terms of a deliberate and fraudu-
lent conspiracy entered into with a view

o. p. Grimes, the third administrator to
collect, has shown itself biased and preju-
diced and grossly imposed upon and the
demand is made that the litigation be taken
out of this court and transferred to the
