WORKING UP A BOOM
HEMENWAY WANTS TO BE SEN
AToR FROM INDIANA.
Friends Of FIRST District Congressman
Think He Would Make a Good
One, Provided Fairbanks Be-
comes Vice President.

Friends of Congress sman James A.
Hemenway, OF Indiana, believe the SEN
atoriai mantle OF Charles w Fairbanks
will fall on him, providing the latter is
elected vice president this fall While
Hemenway has not yet announced he
is candidate for the United States
senate, his friends over the state have
gone to work in earnest for him, and it
is believed he will accept the honor.
Few men in public life have risen as
rapidly as the First Indiana district
congressman. Born in poverty at Boon
vile, Ind. he has lived there all his life,
and now occupies one of the most i'm
portant positions in the national gov
eminent, that Of chairman of the APP
preparations committee in the national
congress
Congressman Hemenway bears the
reputation Of being a natural politician.
de possesses that trait that wins friends
and holds them, and it is an open fact
that no man who ever made the race
for congress in the district has been
able to poll such a tremendous vote
from the opposing party
Shortly after he became of age Mr..
Hemenway was elected town clerk of
Boonville and served several terms.
He was next elected prosecuting attor-
ney of the Second Indiana judicial dis
trict, composed of Warrick, Spencer
and Perry counties. The district was
strongly democratic and the nomlna-
ton was given to Mr.. Hemenway just
to ''fill out" the ticket, and even his
most intimate friends did not think he
had the slightest chance to win But he
won and made an ideal prosecuting at
torney, and was reelected, being the
first republican to ever carry the dis
trict. Mr.. Hemenway was next elected
a member of the republican state com
mittee from the First district, and
served until 1894, when he was elected
to congress.
He won his first nomination against
great odds. The nominee Of the party

Miss Mabel Murphy. of Philadelphia,
who is visiting her cousin in West
Bridgeton, N. j., had an experience
that she does not care to repeat. At
the same time it showed her to be
possessed of unusual pluck. While
canoeing with young man on a mar
row stream at the head of the Turn
bling Dam pond, a large blaeksnake
dropped from an oyerhanging tree into
the middle of the canoe. landing d.
reetly between the two startled oceu-
pants of the craft The young wom-
an, instead of screaming and leaping
from the boat into the water, bravely
kept her seat, and Selling a spare pad
die, assisted the young man in COM
batting the reptile, which showed fight.
After, a lively battle the snake sue
ceeded in getting away, much to tho
comfort of the occupants of the canoe.

During his first term in congress Mr..
Hemenway gained the confidence and
good will of Thomas B. Reed, then
speaker of the house, and he was as

successor to Senator Fairbanks when
the latter is elevated to the vice presi-
dency.

PLENTY OF GAME.
Birds and Rabbits in Abundance in
Berkeley County.

Farmers who keep an eve on the
game of Berkeley county say there
will be no scarcity of birds and squir-
rels this fall. while there are said to
be an abundance of young rabbits. If
this news proves to be accurate all
over the county, this will be a good
season for the sportsmen.
With the hunting season drawing
nearer every dav, it has appeared to
some of the local hunters to take
proper steps TO prevent the Wholesale
slaughter of the game, and it is
probable that by the time the season
opens within two weeks the wardens
will have made all necessary arrange
ments for the protection of the in
habitants of the forests and fields from
the ruthless hand of the pot.hunters.

He was working on the travelling

badly mashed near the elbow. The
flesh was terribly mutilated and it is

Hen Manure and Fertilizers.

A. A. G.--Cabbages are gross feed
ers and generally give good re-
Spouse to heavy applications of fertil-
izers. though too much available nitro
gen very early in the season may do
harm by causing an undue develop
ment OF leaf at the expense of the
"head," which, under such circum-
stances. does not form normally We
would, therefore, delay the application
of the nitrate of soda until after the
heads have begun to form, and then
use It as a top dressing at the rate of
100 to 200 lbs. per acre. It would prob
ably be found profitable to apply
certain amount Of potash with the hen
