He Mailed His Letter.

They are telling good story on DR..
B. w. S. Wiseman, the genial
postmaster at Culver, that will stand
repeating. On one OF the coolest
nights during the past winter, when
the thermometer had dropped to a
point about II below zero, and an icy
wind was whirling the "beautiful" in
TO every crack and crevice, along
about the midnight hour, while the
doctor was in the midst of we'll
earned and restfuI sleep, there came a
loud summons at the front door of his
residence. Hastily making a small
toilet the doctor hurried to the door,
and through the darkness he deserted
a man holding a fractions team and
dividing his time between "cussing"
the horses and stamping his feet to
keep them warm. "Hello!" followed
the doctor from the porch, whats
wanted?" "Are you Doc Wiseman? 2"
asked the man in the road. Yes. sir"
said the doctor; "What can / do for
you?" "Can you come up to your Of
fice?" came back through the snow
and darkness; Its very urgent, or
wouldn t ask it of you" "AIl right, I"
said the doctor; "I'll be there in a
few minutes, and thinking that he
recognized in the strangers voice a
neighbor Of one of his critical patients,
he hurriedly dressed and trudged
through the snow and the darkness
and cold to his office. Arriving there
be saw no one, but across the street.
In front of the postoffice, was his WIS.,
itor's team, still prancing in the cold.

OF the man in going even that far out
of the way. and wondering why be

said voice somewhere in fits interior:
"Gosh! IN glad YOU come. You see,
my best girls a-visitin' at Logan, an
I've writ her this letter an didn't
have no stamp to mail it with and
wanted it ter git down thar on that
early train in the morning. Here it
is, and here's nickel. Just mail it
for me, ADD you kin keep what change
is left fer yer trouble" and leaning
out of the buggy he thrust letter and
nickel into the hand of the aStoniShed
P. NJ. NJ. D., and drove awav. A few
of the words the doctor said have been
dug up there since the last. thaw,
and scientific Inquiry has been started

intense, could have had freezing of.

one wishing the doctors services at
those hours Of the night must be

1t is reported that many delegates
to the state convention, who were
chosen as Parker men have given their
proxies to adherents of Hearst and a
lively time is expected in the conven-
tion. The "barrel" is a factor with
Indiana democrats and may yet con-
troll the delegates from this state to
the st. Louis convention. II inStruc-
lions for Parker can be prevented and
the unit rule adopted Hearst believes
he can very easily buy sixteen Indiana
delegates, after which the others will
hasten to get into the band wagon at
almost any sold price,"

Former Congressman Joseph

Former Congressman Joseph B.
CheGdle, of Frankfort, is one of the
most enthusiastic supporters of Hearst
of the leaders about the headquarters
in the Claypool at indianapolis this
week. Mr.. Cheadle was formerly re-
publican, and as such received his con-
greSsional honors. Then he became a
silver republican, then a Bryan demo-
crat, and is now a Hearst democrat.
In his opinion Hearst is by several
sizes the biggest man ia the country.

81 believe there should be an en-
phatic, most emphatic, expression
in this convention against Hearst, and
the only way to do that is for the con-
yention to adopt iron clad instructions
for Parker" This statement. from
Major G.. v. Menzles. of Mount Yer
non. is strongly Indicative of the trend
OF sentiment among the more conser-
vative democrats who are at Indian
apolis for the state convention. 1t
shows that the large element in the
party that has heretofore questioned
the advisability Of instructions has
turned squarely to Parker, rather than
continue to oppose instructions and
thus contribute to what would be
seized upon Is a victory for Hearst in
Indiana.

Russia and Japan are both borrow

will be remembered, does most its bust

latter in London, Russia estimates
the cost of the war for the first five

Council PROCEEDINGS.

Considerable interest attached to the
meeting Of the city council Monday
evening as six new men who had new.

night watch Tor one year. The coun-
Gil took the appointment under con-
sideration until the next meeting.
No other business of Importance

the best they can for the city.

go to st Louis are not afraid to say

A recent publication by the Bureau
of Statistics shows that government
expenditures in the United states
amount to less per capita than in any
other civilized country except Russia.
That makes pretty fair answer to

The Indianapolis Star is deserving

The indianapolis Star is deserving
of praise for series of articles inten-
ded to arouse public sentiment In fav-
or of proper observance of Memorial
day. The Star does not believe that
this day set apart as memorial for
the fallen heroes OF this country and
the decoration of their graves should
be made a sporting holiday. We are
glad to note that almost every ex-
change that comes to our table COIN
cides with the Star and we hope that
in the future this day will be appro-
priately observed as memorial Of the
men who willingly risked their lives;
for the salvation of the nation.

Mr.. Cleveland has written maya
zine article telling the country how
the gold bond issue was made when
he was president. He might have gone

fidence was restored and there was no
further need of makeshifts to meet
raids on the treasury gold reserve.

Mr.. Fairbanks is not candidate in
the sense Of seeking the nomination
or in allowing his party in this state

to It's lmportuninity. That seems to
be the situation as it appears to-day.

however, is said to be as popular
