Gold Democrats Returning.

With regard to the democratic prospects
1t should be said openly that some of the
gold democrats who were with Mckinley in
1900 are now supporting Parker. have
noticed the names of several prominent
ones who in 1900 gave me their reason for
opposing Bryan a second time. Their
grounds for supporting Parker now seem
to be in spite of their dislike of Taggart
and the democratic state organZat ton.
1t also may be possible that the rail-
road vote will not be quite solid for
the republicans this year as 1t was four
years ago. In 1900 1t went almost as
unit. The most influential railroad sys-
tenn in the state is known as the Big Four.
Stress is laid on the fact that M. E. In
gals. the president of that system, who
supported Mckinley both times, is now
out for Parker. Mr. ingalls, is very able
railroad manager with pronounced politi
cal ambitions. He was with the tide in
1896 and again in 1900, and may have got
some credit for directing the current with
which he foated Later, when he ran for
mayor of Cincinnati, where his railroad is
strong, he was the worst beaten candi-
date on record. AS an individual I don't
think his influence in Indiana Is going to
be greater for Parker than 1t was in Gin
cinnati for Ingalls,
The democrats count with some grounds
of confidence on the loss of the republf-
can vote in the natural gas belt. Much Of
this vote originally came from Pennsyl-
vania Now it has migrated to Kansas
would not be surprised II the aggregate of
republican maiorities in the gas region
should be smaller than in 1900, though the
local leaders have assured me that they
have no fears this score.
Against possible falling off of the re-
publican majorities in one section Is the
certainty that President Roosevelt will
make heavy gains in the mining districts
When the democrats themselves admit tina t
this condition exists it does not require
further explanation.
Democrats Have Money.
In one thing the democrats have the ad-
vantage of the republicans. They have
more money for the campaign. However
stingy the democratic national committee
may be in doing out funds for the west,
this does not apply to Indiana. 1t is per-
fectly understood that liberal appropria-
ton Is to be made for the hoosier state.
Whether the consideration is that Chairman
Taggart shall stay away from New York
| or not does not enter into the question. He
| will have funds. and that is what the party
| workers want. If an actual majority of the
| Indiana voters favor the democratic ma
| tional ticket. Chairman Taggart will get

for players that they really have no

are wise.

many interesting characteristics OF hu-

address of a man written over quart

and his personality heard for many
lavs after he has gone Another signs
his name very modestly but instead
of writing the city in which he ilNeS,
gives the sta~e. Perhaps this man
would have the reader infer that ne
owns the wh4le state CT THINKS ne
does. But the most interesting OF an
is the man who writes his name viii
a few flourishes of the pen and leaves
some ink marks on the page which no
one can descipher. The man is NOV
trying to disguise himself for scaie
questionable purpose. He mercy
wants to get people to guessing, lhis
kind of a parsonage is seldom noeeo

A Delicate Surgical Operation.

Chester Grover, son Of Mr.. aud Mrs
George W Grover Of this place, nov
sixteen years OF age, has been afflicted
with epileplic seizures since he wa,
three years old, the after result Of u
severe attack Of meningitis. His con.
dition has caused his parents great con.
Germ, aud the hope that with care and
treatment he might uutgrow the atllic.
ton has been blasted from time to
time. Several months ago he was
placed in the Pennington Sanitarium
where he might be constantly under
the care aud supervision Of skilled
nufses. DR. W. II Maytcld of st
Louis, who is associated with the insti.
tuition, has given The case much atten.
ton, aud discovered what he believes
TO have been the exciting cause Of the
cpileptic seizures thickness of the
skull and adhesion on the right side
Of the head and depression on the
left side which caused II pressure on the
brain aud also adhesion
DIR. Mayiield did not advise n surgi-
cal operation, but suggested TO MFR. aud
Mrs. Grover that il Chester were his
son he would have one performed.
After considering the matter they de
cided to have DIR. MayfeId perform AN
operation, aud accordingly last Thurs
day he, with the assistance of Drs.
liaw, Fleming, English and Topping,
removed the portions of the skull
whree the trouble was supposed to be
and found that his diagnosis was cor
rect. There was a thickening of the
fkull and adhesion on the right side,
aud depression, adhesion and diseased
bone on the left side. The diseased
parts were all removed aud the adhe.
sion broken up, the operation occupy
ing about an hour.
Chester rallied nicely from the OPP
Grafton, and under the car, and skill
ful treatment of Miss Mary X. Rose,
manager Of the Sanitarium, and the
nurses, Misses Minnie Rose and Hattie
Volker, is getting along admirably.
The parents are very much encouraged
at the progress oftheir sons condition,
and as II is their fondest hope il Is also
the wish Of their many friends that
Chester may be entirely relieved of his
aiiliclion.
