EDWARD CULVER'S
NARROW ESCAPE
Bolt of lightning Kills His Horse
and Burns Barn.

Sunday evening about O'Clock
Ed Culver, son OF A. H. Culver, OF
this city, had narrow escape from
losing his life by being struck by a
bolt OF lightning, while the horse he
was driving to buggy was killed
Instantly.
Ed had gone to the farm home OF
Mrs. Tiffany about four miles west OF
town to call on a young lady. Seeing
the approaching storm he concluded
to shelter his horse from the rain in
a buggy shed adjoining the barn.
Leading his horse In the shed he went
to the back part of the buggy and
took hold OF a wheel to straighten
the vehicle In the shed. At the in
slant he took hold of the wheel
bolt OF lightning struck the barn and
the horse Mr.. Culver was houseing
dropped dead in the shafts.
Ed. was badly shocked and knock
ed two or three feet from the buggy,
but aside from q roaring sensation
in his head and pain in his chest he
escaped unhurt. Ed. said he saw u
fame OF fire pass out OF his hand as
the horse fell. The barn was set on
fire and totally destroyed. Assisted
by hired man on the farm Ed. sue
ceeded in saving the most ofthe con-
tents OF the barn including his own
buggy and harness off Of the dead
horse.
Had the lightning struck minute
sooner Ed. would certainly have
shared the same fate OF the horse.
The horse belonged to the Smith liv-
cry barn, and was insured.

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS.
Hoplessly Split and Sure to Go
 Democratic

Washington Special to Pittsburg Post.
 The Republicans concede' that Delaware will cast it's electoral vote for the Demo- cratic candidate this year. the relentless fight between the Addicks and anti-Ad- dicks Republican factions, which has broken out afresh, destroying whatever chance that party might have Of carrying it.
 But President Roosevelt is trying to have things so shaped up in the state that the delegates to the Chicago conven- tion will be for him for the nomination, and, to bring this about. he seems to- have thrown his fortunes with the anti Addicks faction. Addicks, it will be re- membered has been backed by Senator Hanna, and the President therefore natu- rally looks to the other faction to serve his purposes.
 Senator Ball, of Delaware, one of the anti-Addicks leaders. was at the White House today for consultation with the President on the outlook, and alter he had long conference with Senator For aker, who is one of the active political managers for the President at present.
 Senator Ball declared this afternoon that no compromise with Addicks and his gang was possible, and that there would be two Republican conventions in Dela- ware this year, and two sets of delegates would be sent to the Chicago convention.
 The purpose of his conference with Senator Foraker was to so arrange mat ters in advance that the delegates to be elected by the anti-Addicks faction will go to Chicago with a colorable claim Of being the real thing and will thus be ad, mitted, if the Roosevelt forces control the convention organization, and will cast their votes for the nomination of RoOse- Ve1t

INDIANA FOR ROOSEVELT.
But Indianians Want Fairbanks on
 the Ticket With Him:

Washington Special to New York Tribune.
 If there has ever been any doubt as to the loyalty of Indiana to President Roose- veltithat doubt has been dispelled by the call at the White House of James P. Goodrich Chairman of the Republican Committee of the State; Harry Starr, Chairman of the Executive Committed of the same organization, and Representa- tives Watson and Brick of Indiana. These men assured the President of the abso- lute loyalty of the State, and said that the Indiana delegation would be com posed solely of Roosevelt men.
 The call of the, Indiana contingent at the White House was followed by a re- port to the effect that Senator Fairbanks had indicated his willingness to accept the nomination for second place on the ticket. This. report, as circulated, is in- correct, but 1t is true that a number of the Senator's friends hope they will be able to prevail on him to accept the sec ond place. They believe he would add strength to the ticket, and feel that h. diana should be represented.
 There is a general feeling that, with Indiana frankly avowing It's loyalty to the President, the last vestige of oppo- sition to the nomination of Mir Roosevelt has disappeared, and speculation now turns to the personality of the man who will fill second place.

They say that the atmosphere of that county is very similar to that oi California. They have small farms and they constitute one of the best parts and a splendid part, of our citizenship, and we welcome them to our borders" And so it is all over the State. This class oi immigrants are coming in and they meet a most hearty welcome.

THE MONEY TExT PoR HrM.

How can Mr. Bryan be thrown over- board by the Democratic Party because he stands for. honesty? Stripped of all verhiage and fustian that is what he is standing for and advising in his speechts. He does not want to see the Democratic Party sell its principles for the Presi- dency. That is the platform on which he stands. If the reorganizers overthrow him, the Party will be beaten and perma nently put out of business. We see notn- ing else to come of such suicidal and dishonest polioy.--Cha ttahooga News.g
 How can presumably sensible newspa- pers indulge in such arguments, since The News is asking questions? MT. Bry- of sverbiage and fustian." there is little deal of being strictly true at all times and on all occasions. He thinks a great deal more of reaching an object than he does of the means by which he reaches it. He is much more anxious to create an impression than he is to be exact in his sounding and fetching sentence than stick to facts In short, when stripped of ''verbiage and fustian," there is little left of his speeches, and that little Is generally misleading.
 We are expected to believe that in him Is concentrated all the honesty and truth and patriotism to be found on earth. Be- cause he goes up and down the country ranting about honesty in politics, we are to believe that all other Democrats are Dick Turpins. He iterates his ''hon- esty'' plattudes as if all other Demo- crats were Esaus ready to sell out for 6 mess of official pottage While he talks of honesty he would debase our currency and when he talks about the Democratic Party selling itself he is try ing to deliver it into the hands of the silver miners. He is nice man to talk about political honesty!
 We can have little patience with any man who talks about the Democracy sell ing itself for the Presidency. when the speaker is the man who caused the Party to sell its principles in 1896 for a chance at the office. and of which he was to be chief benehciary. Mir. Bryan is not the man to preach a sermon from the 'hon- esty in politics" text.

STOMACH TROUBLE.

Stomach trouble Is themost distressinh affiictioh known to humanity, and takes . on so many forms that it is often impos. sible for those without. a medical educa. ton to decide from a patient 's syrnptoins as to just what particular ailment is affiicting them. People suffering from this dread disease become nervous and cannot sleep. They have belching and sourness of the stomach, bad dreams, acute stomach pains. or collie, a feeling of fullness after meals, appetites varying from ravenous to that where there is nd desife for food. -t ,,~. .s,s7.
 They have indigestion, constipation, heartburn, yellow skin, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, liver truuble, and catafrh of the stomach.
 Now all these symptoms mean simply hatthe stomach has grown weak, and is not properly digesting the food given 1t; The intensity of action in modern life, the nervous strain in business and so- ciety, and the improper mastication of the food all contribute their share towards, bringing about this condition.
 Many preparations have been offered to the public for the relief of those Ssuf4 / fering from stomach trouble which aid temporarily only, for after a little the parent reels WorSA than before treatment. Within the last SIX months, however, there has been perfected remedy for all these ailments, which absolutely reaches the seat of disease and positively cures any and all troubles the stomach, bowels, lungs and throat.
 1t relieves inflammation, builds up fl,h system, enriches the blood, strengthen2 the various organs of the body, andds guaranteed not only to give immediate relief, but effect permanent cure. This remedy is known as Milks' Emulsiou, and is wonderfully beneficial to children as well as adults. Its effect on the sick is immediate, and one bottle will give sat- isfactory results or your money will bAr returned by your druggist. Price spc.:i Emulsion Company, Terre Haute, Ind.

 There Is great eagerness on the part of many members of both branches of Con- gress to learn just who intends to support this measure. The introduction of the bill and the confidence of its author are doubly interesting, in, view of the fact that Mir. Cassatts presence at the dinner at the White House last night is taken as an indication that he is no longer opposed to President Roosevelt.

REPUBLICAN, PLANS.
To Catch Trust Votes By Bill to
 Modify Antitrust Laws.

Washington Special to New York Herald.
 Vital in the effect which it will, # made law, have upon the operation of the Sher- man Antitrust act and the Interstate Commerce law is a bill which Senator Foraker has introduced and which has been referred to the Interstate Commerce Committee, of which Senator Elkins, of Virginia, is chairman,
 This bill will so amend the Sherman law and the Antitrust laws passed last year that their provisions shall not apply to any act of restraint of interstate com merce unless such act is unreasonable" |"
 The remarkable part about the bill is' that it was introduced at a time when both J. Pierpont Morgan and A. J. Cat satt, president of the Pennsylvania Rail- road, were in Washington. It Is said that this is no half hearted measure, but will be vigorously pushed. The authors of the Antitrust legislation last year are

ANOTHER Brn nnr

Another mighty monster of the long, past days was recently dug up in Shasta County. California. As 1t was supposed to be a marine animal, and was shaped somewhat like Hazard. the scientists named it Thalatt9saurus. from the Greek words thalatto. .-the sea-" and sauros, "a Hazard, Tor the sea lizxafd. Most of us have seen Hazards of many varieties. and some of us have seen a1lisators, but none of us have gazed on such a creature as this was, judging from the descrip- ton given and from the appearance pre- scented by the animal as shown In the re- constructed shape drawn by the learned student of antiquities who understakes to show us just what this looked ille when living.
 To begin with. the creature is shown to have been at least 12O feet long, a large part of which was tail, as all the saurians have. The head was apparently shorter in proportion than is that of the alli- gator or crocodile, but it had an enor- nous mouth and teeth which might have crushed full-grown horse or OK. On it's back was an immense fn-iilse appendage, which, judging from the picture, must have been fifteen or twenty feet high. Taken altogether. he must have been a horrible looking reptile. and a living one now would cut wide swath among the puny inhabitants of earth. We are glad they are not now as common as some of the other Hazards. for we are not partial , to lizzards as they now are. and certainly we have no desire to meet thalato- saurus. But when he was "sloshin' round" in the saited seas We suppose there were many other huge monsters to keep him company. and to hold him down when he became rampageous.

Speaking generally on the subject of trades unions. The Chicago Chronicle says:
 The anti-boycott law which recently went into effect in Alabama is every where denounced by organized labor as tyrannical, and yet there Is not man in America. union or nonunion. who would question one of its provisions If applied to offenders not connected with organized la- bor.
 Of course not. It is only because the law is intended to prevent or punish some of the outrages of unions that 1t is de- nounced. Men who believe in individual rights and personal freedom are not fight ing the law, or finding fault with it's pro- visions
