 Indiana has become the base of Hill German campaign in the West, the first purpose of which is to prevent the nomi- nation of MT. Cleveland for President. To all appearances the Indiana leaders con sider that event an imminent possibility. Opposing MT. Cleveland. they are careful not to admit that he has material strength in the West, but he is the only man the Indiana men have taken the trouble to play politics against. Their activities since MT. Hill won his anti Cleveland fight in the New York Democratic State Committee, last Saturday, have been ex- tended over several States Of the Middle West and Northwest and will, within the next thirty days, reach to the Pacific coast in oregon, Washington and Mon tana.
 Thomas Taggart of this city. the Dem ocratc National Committeeman, began the anti-Cleveland movement last Thurs day by collecting the opinions of forty of the most prominent Democratic na rtv men in Indiana, thirty-eght of whom were opposed to Mir. Cleveland, and puh- fishing them in the Indianapolis Senti- mel. As soon as this broadside was fired the State Committeeman and district or ganizers fell into line against Mir. CIeye- of Lawrenceburg, Chairman of the state Committee; Joseph T. Tanning of h. dianapolis. Chairman of the District Committee; Mir. Faulkner of Michiqan City, ex-Congressman Benjamin F. Shive- ly of South Bend and many other Dem ocrats of foree and reliability as inside party workers.
 MT Taggart's leadership of the Indi- ana Democracy is undisputed. MT. Fan

"DCETk GOOD" And Addeth no Sorrow.

T am an old lady and had used coffee all my life until q year ago, then I found a drink that doeth good and addeth no sorrow
 For many years I had been troubled with constipation and stomach trouble sleeplessness and various other Ifs, and although l had been con(tantly treated I got almost no relief.
 T have always been a great worker with many cares and often in the morning would feel unequal to my daily tasks. So l would drink d good stiff cup Of cof- fee. of which was very !ond, and then for two Or three hours afterwards 1 would feel so smart and buoyant and keyed up to such a high note that 1 could under take most anything. But along about II o'clock the reaction would begin and leave me stranded on a lounge until din- ner time. Then I would get a cup of tea to tide me over the afternoon. So I went on for number of years, and the great wonder is that did not collapse altogether. I must have had a good con stitution. Every month I got a little worse.
 "At last and with great reluctance, I was forced to the conclusion that if was coffee that was the chief cause of my many troubles. So I looked the matter up carefully. quit coffee and began the use of delicious Postum the wisdom of this change was soon shown jn a mate rial improvement in my health. Since l have been using Postum I do not have that unnatural elation and con sequent reaction and the craving for the stimulant has left me am now strong and steady all of the time" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek.

no doubA every effort will be put forth by growers to increase the production, but 1t is now a generally recognized fact that 1t takes a joint cooperative move ment between propitious seasons and twelve months of unceasing labor to ac- complish such a result.
 Just how far this movement will be continued it Is impossible to say but proverb has been gaining ground in the cotton belt during the last three or four years: "The less cotton you have, the more money you have" It Is, of course; foolish to say that there is not world of profit in cotton when anywhere rom it can be truthfully said that there are other branches of agriculture that are paying quite as handsome dividends as cotton farming, with less outlay in the Included under this head are hay farming and stock raising, which require compa- rative little labor.

didate who will get the conservative
 votes they can carry the State. MT. Tag. I gart said:
 Conditions are more favorable for
 Democratic s"ccess in Indiana than they have been since 1892 The Republican party is not united and will not get en- thusiastic for President Roosevelt. We are getting the State organized in good shape for an aggressive campaign which Will win if we nominate q man who has the confidence of the people and who will not revive the troubles of the past The candidate must be d sound. stron g. | trustworthy man, and we must have a sensible. businesslike platform that will satisfy the people of the State.
 indiana Democrats do not favor a re- affirmation of the Kansas City platform. l Indiana Democrats desire a platform of | live new issues. abreast of the times and having nothing to do with dead issues. They are not concerning themselves with dead issues. There is no monetary issue this year. It Is settled, so far as free siI- yer is concerned. and it is not in the do- main of present day policies. There are plenty of issues of vital concern to the people upon which the party can take a strong and popular stand against the Re- publicans' What these issues shall be will be a question upon which the whole intelligence and wisdom of the party should be expended, and am not going to suggest anything at this time. But I have some ideas on what should not be In the platform if we hope to carry In- diana and the country at large"
 1 What is your position with respect to Judge Pnrker's candidacy?'' MT. Taggart was asked
 "I do not know Judge Parker personal ly, but from what I hear of him l con- slder him an available man; both Judge Parker and Senator German have good friends in Indiana. Mir Cleveland's nom- ination is opposed by the Indiana Demo- lcrats; MT. Hearst has some good sfricnds lin Indiana alse. but do not believe the Indiana Democrats will support him In the convention" Concerning the mention which has been made of him in connec- ton with the National Craftsmanship, Mir Taggart said:
 ''Tm not candidate if certain circum- stances arise, however, and I am asked to serve I'll have to think about it. Mo- 1 body ought to be a candidate for that place: it Is like a private secretaryship to the candidate for President and he ought to designate the man he wants. Mir. Bryan did that in 1900, when Mir. Jones was made Chairman. Somo of my | friends wanted me to serve then"

 The financial condition of the South is such as to render 1t almost entirely in- dependent, and the increasing tendency to grow home products needed insures a continuance of such a state of affairs: so it Is hard to see why the country should not enjoy many more years of unexampled prosperity.

NOT GUILTY OF HERESY.
Charges Against Professor Bowne Are
 Unfounded.

New York, April S.-In the New York East conference of the Methodist Episcopal church to-day the select number committee to which had been referred the charges of heresy against Professor Boyden F. lBowne of Boston university, reported that they had found that none of the five specifica- tions in the charge had been substal- tiated and that they had therefore acquitted him. This closed the case, as the action of the committee was final.
 The charges were made by the Rev George A. Cook, of West Medford, Mass, and were based principally on certain statements made Dy Prof Bowne in his philosophical works, which were alleged to be inconsistent with the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal church. The general charge was divided into five specifications and the report of the Select. number 7 or court, acquitted him on all these specifications.
 Dr BOwne was a member of the New York East conference, having held an appointment on Long Island prior to his election to q professorship 1n the Boston university, and for that reason, although the charges were made in Massachusetts, the trial was referred to this conference.

Chicago Owners Anxious to Come to Agreement
 With City.

Chicago, April 8.--The Tribune to- day says: The anxiety of the Union Traction Go to come to an immediate settlement of some kind with the city has been explained the announce ment that the franlcises of the City Passenger Railway begin to expire next June and unless something is done at once the corporation will be operating without warrant. This com pany owes its existence to franchise ordinances passed by the city council in 1884-5. It was leased to the West Chicago Street Railway Go and, wiLai this corporation, became part of the Union Traction system. Some of it's lines, however, are important parts of the Union Traction Co
 The, company has an application for a renewal pending before the council. It was introduced some time ago. but so far the committee on local transpor- tation has done nothing with 1t.
 It is not expected that this ordinance will be acted on before the existing franchises begin to expire, and conse- quently the company nas welcomed tne plan of the municipal ownership advo- cates for license ordinance which will allow tie company to continue to op- crate until the city can purchase lne properties

IN SUPERIOR COURT
 JURY CAME IN AT NOON.
McEvoy Wins Case-Carnes Not Only Loses But Must Pay the Costs of the Case-Suit Against Holmes. Booth 8 Hayden's Was Taken Up-First Case of the Kind in This County in Some Time.

It was noon to-day when the jury in the case of George F. Garnes vs Frank F. McEvoy reported 5 verdict They were given the case when the court opened at 9:3O o'clock, after a three days trial. The verdict was for the defendant whose costs must he paid by the plaintiff, who sued fou $4,- 900 damages. He alleged that because of business transaction with the de fendant he suffered loss. The transac- ton in brief consisted of Carnes's deed ing to McEvoy certain real estate situ- ated in Massachusetts in exchange for 8 bicycle business which McEvoy coil- ducted at that time on Hast Main street. The papers usual in such g transaction passed between the par ties, and few days later it seems both expressed considerable dissatisfaction over the exchange. McEyoy claimed he could not at first locate the real es- tate which was said to be in Woburn and Cambridge. Mass, and that when at last he did find it, it was not what Carnes represented it. Accordingly he had Carnes arrested for fraud and de- tained him i'll the cells in the court house building until he handed over the papers to the transaction. Carnes .nen instituted two suits, one for $5,- 900 damages for false arrest and im- prisonment, and the present Tn t.-e first the jury gave him a verdict for $500 fin the district court. An appeal to the supreme court was taken in that case Church and McKue appeared for Carnes In this case and Root and Law Tor for McEvoy.
 The jury was then empanne1ed fin the case of Antonio Belabella vs the Holmes, Booth & Havdens Go for $5,- GOO damages Plaintiff is the adminis- trator on the estate of Andrea Dela- bella, who was killed by an operation Of the defendants machinery in their factory. It is claimed he was passing near a ssdrawing through" machine when an arm of the machine blew out and struck De1abella in the stomach, killing him almost instantly. Incom- potency on the part of the workmen is also alleged.
 The defense alleges cOntributOry neg Iigence and that deceased had no right to pass near the machine.
 This is the first case of its kind that has been tried to a jury in this county in a great many years.

DAMAGE TO CEMETERY
 BY FIRE IN ORANGE.

New York, April g. Mischievous boys have caused great damage by fire at St Marks cemetery, a Durying ground 200 years old, at Orange, N. J.
 The Shrubbery had become unusual ly dry and party of boys started a blaze which spread quickly to the cem- etery, thickly planted with trees and shrubbery to protect the curious stones marking the resting places of many heroes of the civil and revolutionary wars The nremen worked more than an hour to chce k the fire, which, by the time they reached the scene had spread all over the grounds Hun dreds of the old headstones were ser iously cracked and ruined, while the more pretentious marble columns were badly damaged, entailing quite a heavy loss.
