VISIT TO INDIANAPOLIS.
He II Not Ready to Talk About His
Probable Candidacy for Governor
Hotel Visitors.

George A H. Shideler OF Marion, former
warden OF the Indiana State Prison, was
in town Yesterday on his way home from
French Lick With r. E. Breed and other
Marion business men he spent several
DAYS AT Thomas Taggart's hotel. keeping
cool and recuperating from the fatigue OF
a rather close application TO business Tor
several months The ex-warden is a very
busy man just now being identified with
a number Of interests i'm Grant county. He
is giving most of his attention to the duties
of treasurer and general manager or the
Marion Light and Heating Company. Mr..
Shideler is being talked of considerably in
connection with the Republican nomination
for Governor in two years. Thus far he
has made no announcement. but notwith-
standing this fact, the people of the dis
trict are running him with a good deal
of enthusiasm. Concerning this matter he
said yesterday:
81 cannot say at this time that such a
thing would be possible or probable. How
ever, it is an office than any Hoosier should
be proud to have his name mentioned for.
1t is entirely too early at this time for
definite plans. Ny friends in northern
Indiana. as well as other counties through
out the State, have been more than en-
couraging in their suggestions along this
line. However, at this time, 1 am in no
position to say that l shall be a candidate"
Mr. Shideler is president of the State
Conference of Charities and Correction
which will meet in Indianapolis November
next There will be a meeting of the eX
ecutive committee held in this city July
rs. at which time plans and programme
for the November meeting will be arranged.
This conference" said Mr.. Shideler, lis
composed of citizens of the State of In
diana of all creeds and religious and
opinions in politics. They are simply
banded together to promote the best in
terests of the State institutions-cOunty
inhrmaries and jails throughout the State
-endeavoring TO insure good sanitary con-
ditlons and proper control and treatment
OF the inmates. There will be papers read
before the conference by leading citizens
both in and out of the State. and no doubt
many suggestions will be made in reference
TO coming legislation in the interests of
economical management and general bet
terment of conditions I'm all the institu-
tons, both county and State"

AN INCREASE is GRANTED
BIG FOUR MACHINISTS WILL BE PAID
IS CENTS AN HOUR.
There Are over Four Hundred EN-
plOyed on the System Sec
Ond Conference.

The committee representing the machin-
lists employed in the Big Four shops and
General Manager Schaf and Superinten-
dent of Motive Power Garstang held
another meeting in Mr.. Garstang's office
yesterday and settled the wage question.
The machinists received 261a cents an hour
and asked an increase to 80 cents. A COM
promise was effected whereby the machin-
lists will receive a maximum of IS cents
an hour. The committee was satisfied with
the compromise.

cents an hour but the company agreed

MIR. sTUTEsMAN IN TOWN.
The Immaculate Statesman on His
Way to Cincinnati.


James F. Statesman. fashionably attired
in dark summer suit was in town yester-
day on his way from Peru to Cincinnati.
While Mr.. Statesman does not claim to set
the fashion for this part Of the middle
West, no one ever saw him with a single
bit of apparel the least bit awry, or when
he wasn't got up in the height of style.
Yesterday Mr.. Statesman wore a pair of
dark trousers carefully rolled at the bot
tom. Immediately white shirt and
black belt. The sight of a pair OF sus-
penders worn with belt would drive Mr.
Statesman to distraction. almost. The near
est he ever came TO permitting his collar
TO show signs of wear was a few years
ago when he undertook. as an officer of the
court. to take possession of the baggage
of a burlesque company that was passing
through Peru. On that occasion the young
women of the company made IL decidedly
warm for Mr.. Stutesman-under the col
lar. The next time he came near losing
his reputation for exceptional neatness OF
dress was when he presided over the
Eleventh district convention that nominated
Fred Lands for Congress. This was try
ing ordeal for the chairman and he would
no doubt have been pardoned had he ap-
peared without collar.
Mr.. Statesman brings a report from the
ELEVENTH district of the inert condition of
the Democracy up there. lie says the con-
gressional convention of the Democracy at
Peru was decidedly tame. THE congress
sional nomination" he said was made
practically by default. The court had
Judge Nelson called three times and he
answered not. Judgment was entered
against him accordingly. He was selected
for the sacrifice because he was not there
TO protest Fred Lands will lose no votes
in the Eleventh district. but will have as
big a majority as Steele has had. There
is absolutely no disaffection in the Eleventh
district. Major Steele and his friends will
support Fred Lands, of course"

ATTICA A FINE TOWN.
Paints It's Buildings White and Owns
Its Light and Water Plants.


A. S. Peacock, editor of the Attica Led
ger and postmaster at Attica, was at the
Denison last night with Mayor w. B. Reed
and Edward COnnell, a merchant of Attica
They came in yesterday evening from Wee
dersburg, where they attended the Foun-
tain county convention. Mr.. Peacock said
that the speeches of Senator Fairbanks
and Representative Lands at the conven-
ton were received with the greatest en-
thusiasm. I'VE are going to carry Foun-
tain county all right this year" said ne.
Mr.. Peacock is very enthusiastic over the
progress the town of Attica is making. 1t
Is picturesquely situated on the Wabash
river in Fountain county. 1t is now called
the white City" 1t is the custom to
paint all business blocks white. There
are perhaps eighty ninety business
buildings in Atticas" Mr.. Peacock said.
land l suppose there not more than
a half dozen that are not painted white.
l don't believe the people of the State APP
preciate what a fine town Attica is. 1
wonder If IL ever occurred to you that At
tica is the smallest town in the world that
has a frst-class postoff1ce. This is fact.
Last year the Attica postoffce sold s44 900
worth of stamps. That's pretty good for
a town that has but three thousand inhab-
itants. but the secret lies in the fact that
we have in Attfca a concern called the
Sterling Remedy Company which pur-
chased $4,000 worth OF stamps out of this
$4,000. This makes the office first class.
Attica is one of the cleanest cities in the
country. Everybody in the town seems
to have pride in trying to keep ii clean.
We have twenty-eight miles of concrete
sidewalks and our city has solved the
problem of municipal ownership. We be-
lieve that il pays. Attica owns its own
electric lighting plant and its own water
works. In my house l have twenty in
candescent lights and my bill for electric
lighting averages 81 a month. Attica does
something that a lot of other cities does
not dove have two lights to every
block.
