ADMITTING That You Don't Drink

are not the other, members of your family to be considered. The fact that you do not use strong drink is no argument that you should not keep good liquor in your house at all times. For instance, if a member of your family is taken violently i'll and no doctor near, perhaps a little good whiskey or brandy would save his or her life. It sometimes takes half hour to get doctor ito your house, an other half hour to have your prescrip- ton compounded, and all this time your friend is suffering excruciating pain. Perhaps a little liquor would do the work and save that worry and ex- pense. We will stock up your sideboard or wine cellar with the choicest wines and liquors and at prices that are low CT than the others.

Caleb Powers Found Guilty,

Caleb Powers has been found guilty
of completely in the assassination of
William Goebel, and now stands under
sentence of death. The verdict has not
been reached in haste, nor was sentence
pronounced until the prisoner had been
granted every defense known to the
law. 1t cannot be said that the man
found guilty by three separate juries
has been made the victim of partisan
malice or illegal prosecution. The evil
dence, full and exhaustive in every
trial, has but been strengthened as in
vestigation into his case proceeded. The
crime of Goebal's death could not have
been passed over, if Kentucky were to
hold her place among sister States The
slow, sure process of the law and evil
dence has marked out Powers as one of
the men primarially responsible for that
crime. When that was done his death
was inevitable. Others will now trem,
BILE. The beginning of the end has
come.

TIMOTHY u. SULLIVAN ELECTED
WORTHY MASTER OF THE ORDER.

Chosen Grand Worthy Vice Master
Protest Over Proxies.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Congressman Tim
othy d. Sullivan is now at the head of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, having been
elected grand worthy master at the conven-
ton in Tammany Hall to-day. The cleo
ton was a spirited one, and there was
lively campaigning from beginning to end.
Sullivan's election had been expected, but
many Western contingents favored the
election of Vice President Palletier, of
Kansas City, and waged a vigorous fight
to place him at the head of the order.
On the first ballot Sullivan polled 1872
votes. Palletier 729 and Henry lily" Davis,
of Cincinnati, 250. The two latter candi-
dates then withdrew and the congress-
protest was made against the votes from
Honolulu. which were represented in proxy
by the California delegates. AS the Ha-
waiian islanders were in favor of Sulli-
van, his adnerents fought vigorously until
the California delegates were permitted to
vote for the Hawaiians. Cape Nome, Alas
ka, the State OF Washington and Texas
went solid for Sullivan. The congressman
drew from all over the country, even the
far Western States sending him a good
vote. Thomas Coogan, of Cincinnati, and
John Kennedy, of Buffalo, managed Sulli-
vans campaign.
w. f. Edwards, of Anderson, Ind, pres
ent grand worthy chaplain, was elected
grand worthy vice president. His successor
as chaplain is Joseph H.. Ellis, of Minneap-
oils, Mimi.

Plan to Divert the Stream Into Tip

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
VALPARAISO, Ind, Sept. 4-There is a
strong probability that the government Will
step I'm and solve the problem of what TO
do with the water of the Kankakee which
piles up against the lodges Of limestone al
different points. Warren Johnson. of the
United States geological survey, was here
to-day in consultation with authorities re-
specting a scheme which the government Is
considering to divert the waters of Yellow
river or the Kankakee or both into the
Tippecanoe river. the object being to furnish
a greater water power on the Tippecanoe
at Monticello and Lafayette. From a point
on Yellow river just north of Ober. to the
north bend of the Tippecanoe, near Ora.
is about seven miles and a channel suffi-
cient to carry the waters of Yellow river
could be constructed for less than $4,000.
For two reasons this plan may be aban-
doned. First, Yellow river is the only
stream close to Knox and the citizens OF
that town would no doubt seriously OPP
pose the move. In the second place, the
volume of water which comes down this
river would hardly be sufficient for the
purpose required.
The other proposition, and the one to
which little objection could be raised, is to
tap the Kankakee river at the lower end
of English lake, where the Stauffer ditch
discharges From this point to a point on
the Tfppecanoe just above Buffalo, White
county, the distance is about thirty miles,
and the fall is about forty-five feet. The
channel could be carried up the Stauffer
ditch to the high land ridge south of North
JudSon- Here considerable e~xcavating
would nave to be done, as this ridge forms
the natural water shed between the Kanka-
kee and Tippecanoe rivers. Just beyond
this barrier the Burbank ditch begins and
takes its way TO the Monon ditch, which
empties into the Tippecanoe in White coun-
ty- This plan would be more expensive, but
II would furnish the Tippecanoe river with
a volume OF water equal, at least, to twice
its present flow, and at the same time
would not discommode any communities or
towns. Starke county would be greatly
benefited by this move. as well as the
various other counties along the Kankakee
river this side of Momence, ILL.,, where a
ledge OF rock forms an almost insurmount-
able barrier to the flow of the water. AS
a feeder for the Tippecanoe this second
proposition would be a great success. for
the large area drained by the Kankakee
would furnish an immense flow OF water.

MANS QUEER DELUsION.
Death of Negro Who Believed Himself
to Be a Prophet.
to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. 4.-Sam
Jones. colored, one of the queerest char
acters of the county. died at the poor asy-
lum Wednesday evening. Jones was a
Democrat. and because of his faithfulness
to the party, held a number of minor posi-
tons under Democratic administrations.
Some time ago he lost his mind and imag-
ined he was a prophet. On one occasion
he had all the inmates OF the poorhouse
preparing TO meet their end, as he had pre-
dicted that on the following Friday the
world would come to an end. Jones was a
fluent talker and soon had the inmates COM
pletely under his control. Some of them
went so far as to prepare their ascension
robes when Jones predicted the end of time,
and Superintendent Allen experienced con-
siderable trouble in convincing his wards
that Jones was a crank and that the end
was not in sight. He had one great fear
before his death, and that was that his
body would be sent to the State Anatomical
Board at Indianapolis. His death was
caused by
