RAILROAD GOSSIP

Samuel Rea, fourth vice president
of the Pennsylvania railroad, is a
commanding man, in character as
well as in stature. He is a studen
and a thinker and his habits of
thought enable him to grasp large
ideas and problems without missin
any importent detail He knows the
business end Of railroading thorough
", and in the carving out of the
Pennsylvania railroad plans to spend
$3.50, 100000 in improvements. Mr..
Rea has been President Cassatt s
right-hand man. For several years
Vice. President Rea investigated the
matter Of building and operating I'M
deroround railways He examined
everything of the kind in this coun-
try and went to Europe two or three
times on the same mission. When the
PENNSYLVANIA management determin-
ed to tunnel the North and East
rivers and run an UNDERGROUND road
across Manhattan Island the general
supervision Of the gigantic under

AS an instance of his capacity for
work it may be remarked that while

PENNSYLVANIA railroad Mr.. Rea finds
time to serve as a director with at

NERVE DISEASES
READILY CURED

About thirty years ago two German
physicians made the wonderful dis
covery that every portion Of the body
is controlled by and supplied with
vitality by nerve centers located in
different parts of the brain.
Later DR.. Miles, President of the
Grand Dispensary, discovered that
defects Of these delicate centers were
a prolific cause of many weaknesses
and diseases of the various bodily or
gans. IF an engine does not receive
sufficient power it cannot do is work.
The same is true Of the lungs, heart,
stomach, liver, kidneys, womb, blad
der, etc. Loss Of nerve power is a
prolific cause of consumption, dys-
pepsia, headache, pain, Brights' and
heart disease, nervousness, debility,
ETC.
This discovery is rapidly reyolu-
of diseases. Cases that were former
ly incurable now yield readily to DIR.

The election of Joe Tanning as vice
chairman of the Democratic state COM
mittee came as a surprise. 1t was not
only not known that he was a candi-
date, but it was a surprise that an
Office should be created, for the COM
mittee has never had a vice chairman.
flaming has been a member of the
committee since the campaign of 1900,
when Taggart resigned in his favor.
He is a good, careful politician, and
above all is a true-blue Taggartite.
His election was fought to the last
ditch by j. L. Reach and his follow
ers, and there is likely to be much
grumbling among them because the
committee has seen fit to give him a
position Of such Importance. Chair
man O'Brien can't be in Indianapolis
all of the time, so the position of vice
chairman will be one of great import
ance. Tanning is one of the best
known politicians in Indiana. He was
formerly deputy auditor of state and
made an unsuccessful race for the Of
fee Of auditor.

TWO MORE VICTIMS
List of Dead in Theater Fire Now
Numbers $50.


Numbers $50.
Chicago, Jan. 9.-No evidence of i'm
portance which had not previously
been made public has thus far been
obtained at the coroner's inquest over
the victims of the Iroquois theater
fire. Engineer Murray, of the theater,
in his testimony showed that the the
alter was almost destitute of protec-
ton against fire, that no precautions
had been taken and that no instruc
tions had ever been given to any Of
the attaches. There were standpipes,
he said, in the theater, but only one
coil of hose and this not over fifty
feet long.
Other witnesses told chiefly of their
own experiences. Two more names
have been added to the list of victims
of the fire Nellie Dawson, q years
old, and Estelle Muir. 81 years old,
died In the hospitals This makes a
total of 568 dead, according to the
coroner Miss Muir, whose home was
in Evansville, Ind, was in the theater
with her two sisters, both of whom
perished.

1t would not be surprising if the
Democrats should hold their state con
vention ahead of the Republicans this
time, for they seem bent upon getting
into the campaign very early. Several
members of the state committee ex-
pressed their hearty favor of an early
convention. Two conspicuous figures
at the meeting of the Democrats were
w. E. Cox of Jasper, and Lincoln Dix
on of North Vernon. They were sized
up critically, as there is a prospect
that they will become members of the
Indiana congressional delegation next
year. 1t seems practically settled that
Dixon will be nominated to succeed
Congressman Griffith, who will not be
a candidate Chairman O'Brien, Joe
Cravens of Madison, Joe Shea of Sey-
mour, and other well-known party lead
ers in the Fourth are for Dixon, and
they say he will certainly win. His
only opponent now is P. H. McCor-
mack of Columbus, and it is by no
means a certainty that he will run.
Dixon, it is said will shortly resign
as district chairman and Shea will be
named as his successor by Chairman
O'Brien. COX IS rlnnir g against Con-
gresham Zenor of the Third. He has
won in the fight to control the district
machinery, which has given him so
much prestige that he thinks he will
certainly be nominated. However,
Zenor is a hard fighter and has such
hold on his district that it will be a
hard matter to shake him off.

FIGHTING STRENGTH OF
JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

! Probably the latest and most re-
liable estimate of the relative fighting
strength Of Japan and Russia is that
made for the London Times by its
military and naval correspondents
and printed in the issue of that pa
per which reached this city yester-
day. The outlook, according to these
experts, is more than favorable to
Japan at sea, while there is at leas
an even chance for her on land.
The naval expert admits, to start
with, that there are factors on both
sides which are hard to determine,
but he gives us the benefit of all the
knowledge available He compares
the Japanese feet with the Russian
ships which are either IN the far east
or are now on their way there. ia
pan has six battle ships to Russia S
eight, but not even the best of the
Russian ships comes mp to the Jap,
anese standard. Moreover, the Jap
anese ships are practically all of one
grade, and can be handled thereto
to great advantage, while the Russian
fleet must adapt itself in action to
the capacity of its poorest vessel. Tn
armored cruisers Japan has six tc
Russia's five, and Japan's are the
better In protected cruisers Japan
has fourteen to Russia s eight.
Even more important than this
superiority of fleet is the fact that
Japan has four fine dockyards, "quite
capable both of constructing and re
pairing vessels of any class" while
Russia s docking facilities are zen
tirely inadequate even for the ordi-
nary repair and maintenance of the
fleet" So great is Japan's super
iority at sea, everything considered
that the writer would not be sur
prised if the Russians should with
draw their ships into the Gulf Of Pc
Chilli rather than force a fleet ac-
tom
When the issue at sea(has been set
tied, either by victory or blockade,
then will come the land campaign
Japan's permanent army has 1900
officers and 100000 men, Her re-
serve and territorial armies bring her
total land force to 100000 men. Rus
STA, according to the best estimate
that can be made, has about 100000
men in the far east. while cit is
probable hat the Russian troops
which would he available for servic
IN Manchuria when either Russia or
Japan has proved its naval DONNA
ton in the China seas will not much
exceed 100000 men,. -
With Japan victor at sea, the mill
tary experts believes that Japan's
transportation facilities would be far
superior to Russia s. He points out
that the Siberian railroad is exceed
" vulnerable. that It would require
an immense force TO guard it, and
that at The best its f7cilities cannot

than 100000 men. On the other hand

THEY DON'T WANT HEARST.

II was hard for many Of the old-line
Democrats Of Delaware to swallow
Bryan. In fact many refused point
blank. But their disgust at Bryan is
as nothing to their disgust az Willie
Hearst Here is what the Dover Index
says about the matter;
All fools are not yet dead, and a
few States and q few counties I'm other
States have been induced by the Hearst
money to declare FOR that king OF yell
low journalism socialist and agltator.
The. mere mention Of such a man for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent is a disgrace to the party and a
menace TO decency In public office. The
Democratic party IL II hopes to win or
even to maintain the respect of the peo-
pie, must repudiate Hearst and his
kind. The Democrats who have de-
clared for him have disgraced them
selves and their state.
The Delaware Ledger. evidently hav-
ing the same thought in mind, speaks
its sentiments as follows:
The delegates to the national con.
veniion should be ale to choose a mar

for anyone who, through their desire
for Republican success or by the emol-

AN INDIAN DUEL.
The Famous Fight Between Chief
Carpenter and Price.

The Famous Fight between Chief
Carpenter nnd Price.
"The methods of figh ting duels among
the Indians" said an old frontiersman,
were varied, each tribe having its own
peculiar custom. Some Of the tribes
learned TO fight according TO the code
Of the white man, however, among
these the Choctaws or Cherokees,
which reminds me of the famous duel
in July Of 1888. when the celebrated
Choctaw chief, Carpenter, fought near
the Pine Greek Indian agency with a
white man named Price. Chief Car
penter was a splendid type OF Indian.
tall and straight and comely, and he
had been we'll educated and had natu
raj talents and natural instincts that
put him head and shoulders over his
indian associates.
"As usual, this trouble was started
by a disagreement over some trivial
matter, which caused a dispute and
ended in the white man calling his
red brother a liar. Throughout the
trouble the big Indian had remained
perfectly calm, although considerably
angered, and as the insult fell he gazed
coldly into the eyes Of Price and said:
"'Your blood shall wash out that
word
"'Whenever you're ready, say the
word cried Price. You can do your
washing right here and now If you
please
mot now, sir, but tomorrow morn
ing, when the sun peeps over the top
Of that wild plum tree, you must be
here and without fail
THE report of the duel spread far
and wide, and at an hour considerably
before sunrise a large crowd had gath
cred on the dueling ground TO witness
the encounter. Price was the first on
the field and for time it looked as if
there would be no Carpenter. But
true to his Indian blood, the chief dis.
dained coming too soon at the appoint
cd place as much as he would have
feared coming too late. and it was just
as the first rays of the sun stole over
the soft green of the tree that the red
man stood in place. Not word was
spoken by either man. Both drew their
pistols, and, raising the weapons. they

ter reeled, but with a mighty effort
checked a tendency TO spin round, and

ponents pistol sounded for the. second
time. This time Price jumped high in
the nir and landed on his face stone
dead.
with wild shout the crowd press
ed forward to surround the lucky chief
but before aid could reach him he fell
senseless. Price had been shot through
the heart. clean as a whistle, a remark
able shot considering the condition OF
the Indian when he made it, and q
shot Carpenter could have made in
the first place without a doubt had he
been as determined to kill as Price
proved himself when his bullet buried
itself In the Indians breast"
