found few men who are always in
terested in campaign funds and who
are aiding these reorganizers in
their efforts to Clevelandise the
democracy Of Indiana.
The next state central committee
will be selected next January by
conventions to be held in the sew
eral congressional districts. The
primaries at which the delegates to
these conventions are selected. be.
ing held in the winter, are not like
ly to he attended largely by the
rank and file of the party. The
expenditure of little money by the
reorganizers in the towns is expect
ed to accomplish the desired result.
The men who are elected as dele
gates in the country precincts will
probably not care to attend the con-
ventions and their proxies may be
obtained by 'reorganizer, who will
90 to the convention and mis-repre-
sent the people.
1t is by working this scheme that
the reorganizers here hope to elect
a majority Of the next state CEN
tral committee. That will give
them control Of the organization Of
the state convention, and they will
have no further difficulty in send
ing to the next national convention
a delegation that will vote for
Wall street platform and a candi-
date in sympathy with it. Nine
democrats out Of every ten in Indi-
ana are opposed to this cowardly
surrender Of principle. The su-
preme duty Of democrats in this
emergency is to wake up, and keep
vide awake until after the next
national convention. 1t is the duty
OF every Indiana democrat to at
tend every primary, and if possible
every convention held in his vicini-
ty. Select as delegates TO all con-
ventions men who will pledge them
selves 10 attend such conventions
and who will under no circumstance
give proxy to anybody. Beware
OF the proxy next year. 1t is the
reorganizefs main hope. Without
it they can do nothing. With it
they can and will turn the Indiana
democracy over to the enemy. If
the democratic party remains true
to principle, victory will surely
come by-and-by. But defeat for
years is infinitely better than sue
Cess attained by the sacrifice Of
principle. William j. Bryan is

the democratic party can find a can
didate as able, fearless, conscien-
tious and patriotic as he, it will in
deed be fortunate. lind. Sentinel.

INDIANA BUILDING AT ST. LOUIS En-
POSITION.
Company Premises 10 Complete Build
iug BY Feb IL. Next. Under
Heavy Penalty.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. w Ork
on the Indiana building at the 1t.
Louis Worlds Fair Exposition will
be commenced in the next two
weeks. The contract FOR the build
ing was signed last Saturday by
Caldwell * Drake, OF Columbus,
the successful bidders. MIR. Hutch
ins. of their company, announced
that ne would lose no time in get
ting the work started.
The bid OF Caldwell K Drake j.
regarded by the commissioners and
architecks ss extraordinarily low.
For $3l ,ii3 they have agreed to
erect the building which Wing <
Mahurin, the architects at first es-
timated would cost Sl3 900. After
cutting out all extras Mr.. Mahurin
estimated that the great club house
could not be erected for less than
$50, 7I6. Yet the Columbus con
tractor has agreed to build it fer
5000 less than this.
rneir bid was a surprise TO othe r
bidders a. we'll. Five estimates
were submitted and the successful
contestants were over 50, 600 under
any Of the other competitors.
The contract provides that the
building must be completed by
Feb. IL, 1904, and the contractors
agree to forfeit SlC0 for each day
after this date that may be required
to complete the building. The con-
tractors have given bond for S2l
OyO 10 fulfill their contract.

putty, Henry Ell, and the advertise
ment in this weeks COURIER, it
will be seen that the recent shoot
ing at the deputy while he was
searching on Patoka river for fish
nets, has been taken notice OF by
the State authorities, and the one
who shot is apt to be made an ex-
ample Of if it can be proven. The
attack was extremely cowardly.
The law is good one, and if it is
properly enforced our streams will
soon be stocked with good fish

A BARREN ISLAND TRANSFORMED
INTO A PARADISE.
The Great Achievemen Of the st. Paul
Health Commissioners.

The Great Achievement Of the st. Paul
Health Commissioner.
When DR.. Ohage was appointed
health commissioner Of the city of St.
Paul by Mayor Kiefer, the doctor en-
deavored to demonstrate his appreci-
alton of the appointment by making
the city q present of Harriet island.
The people smiled, for Harriet island
was barren sandbar in the Missis-
ssippi river, supposed to be always
flooded in high water. It remained
for the energetic doctor by his untir-
ing labor and ingenuity to transform
this waste into an enjoyable health
resort frequented by thousands of rich
and poor alike. The st. Paul public
baths situated on Harriet island are
entitled to no small credit for the
SANITY City's reputation as the
healthiest city in the world, visited as
they are by over a million people a
year. To enlarge these baths and add
many new features is the patriotic
project Of her citizens in their mag
nificent Summer Carnival held for the
benefit Of the public baths July 9th
to Aug. 9Th. ....a 8.
Excursion rates to st. Paul will be
granted by all the railroads on July
2Sth and 30th, Aug. Sd and 9Th.

They are catarrh of the organ which is
affected. These women despair of re-
covery. Female trouble is so common, 90
prevalent. that they accept it as almost in
evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way
of recovery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint. ninety-uine
cases out of one hundred are nothing but
catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Chronic invalids who have languished for
years on sick beds with some form of female
disease begin to improve at once after b.
ginning DR.. Hartman S treatment.
Among the many prominent women who
recommend Peruna are:-Belva Lockwood,
of Washington, D. c.; Mrs Col. Hamilton,
of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. F. E. Warren, wifo
of U. S. Senator Warren, of Wyoming.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DR.. Hartman. giving a full state
ment of your case. and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

An Iowa Decision.

The Iowa courts have just decided
g very interesting point In regard to
cleo having slightly yellow color. It
has been asserted and believed that
butter could be incorporated with oelo,
thus giving It a color legally. Some
cleo very slightly yellow was seized
In Iowa and the sellers prosecuted.
The cleo men argued that the little
color in the butter did not come in
as . result OF artificial coloring.

and let's her 60 dry for four or Eve
months she viii. be inclined to repeat
the habit. Most farmers depend
wholly on pastures and make their
calculations to use 30 many acres to
certain number Of cows, and when
the Hush is over or a dry time comes
their rations are curtailed, and hence
the yield Is shortened, and when q
COW fails in her yield for a few days
1t Is almost impossible to get her
back to q normal yield again. A COW
is simply q machine to be governed
by manager. and to be the most
profitable she must have all she can
eat and be taken good care of to do
her best; hence, it is necessary abso
lutely to provide proper rations in
case Of short pastures to keep the
machinery running profitably. This
can be most economically done by
providing silage for such emergencies
or some succulent food such as al
falfa or sweet corn or green clover.
The profit comes from the food used
after. q ration necessary to maintain
the machinery and keep 1t in use;
then whatever feed is used runs to
profit and the yield is kept up much
longer. We do not want to keep
cows that are non-paying boarders for
four or five months.-J. F. Converse,
