MAN WITH TIE LONG ovERCoAT
Entertained by a Farmer and His

Fedford. Ind. Feb. 19.-There is a
report current here, which the auth0ri-
ties will neither affirm nor deny. that
James Mcdonald, now held at Bloom
ington on the chargeof numbering Miss
Sarah Schafer, has told a story which

Was This Man the Murderere
Jeffersonville, Ind, Feb. 10. = Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. p. Alpha, of Charlestown,
believe that the murderer Of Miss
Schafer, at Bedford, visited their home
ON the night following the murder.
They are tn parents of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. c. Goodwin. of this city. and while
here attending the burial of their late
son-in-law, Professor A. C. Goodwin,
they made public their suspicious for
the first time.
He Wore a Long Overcoat.
According to their story. between 9
and 10 y. M, ON the night of Jan.
%, at a time when it was raining
heavily, a stranger made his appear
ance at their home. He wore a long
o%vercoat and soft hat and was of
medium height, with iorid complexion
and a reddish mustache. He said he

paying for his lodging in advance. But
for the inclement weather his request
would have been refused. The stran-
gers shoes were coated with mud.
He did not.give his address, and it was
not asked.
Came from Bedford Way.
The next morning the stranger ap-
peared at breakfast, freshly shayen
and with the travel stains entirely re-
moved. He presented a genteel APP
pearance. He apologiZed for his ap-
p%earance the previous night by saying
that he had walked from Walton. In
cidentally. he remarked that it was
raining the preceding morning. as he
passed through Sellersberg, showing
he had come from the direction of
Bedford.
Hosts Have a Suspicion.
While Alpha was %glancing over his
morning paper the stranger eyed il
furtively. as if anxious to see the head
lines. Afterward, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Alpha began reading of the Schafer
murder, and the description of the
suspect" the thought dawned upon
both that perhaps they had sheltered
the murderer.

INDIGESTION Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Cafarrh of tie Stomach

UNN'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST
DUNN ..-.> -

The following editorial appeared in
the Minneapolis Tribune June 9Th:
Many persons have secretly dreaded
the nomination OF Mr.. Dunn for
governor. The most important reason
tor this hesitation. we think, never
has appeared In the public prints. It
is q personal reason, and the decent
avoidance Of personalities Is happy
feature of Minnesota politics. Now
Mr.. Dunn himself has forced 1t upon
public notice by profane and abusive
attack, followed by a physical as
sault. upon q newspaper subordinate
who had offended him by carrying out
the policy of his superiors.
It is not necessary to approve that
newspaper policy to condemn this as
sault and to dread the exploitation In
the governors seat of the violent tenn
per and low standard of personal dig
nifty that inspired it. The instant
effect of the incident is to confirm and
deepen the unspoken objection of
many to the nomination Of the chief
actor in it for governor. Too many
men of gross manners and obscene
speech have been prominent In public
life in this state. Public feeling has
grown sensitive on that point. Yet
such is the delicscy Of avoidance of
PERSONAL politics that 1t has been left
for Mr.. Dunn g own act to put him in
q happily small class Of which the
people have grown very tired in high
station.
By this act, and by others resem-
bling it on a less conspicuous stage,
we think he has made campaign
against himself far more effective
than any of the most malicious in
genuity Of his enemies has been able
to contrive. The political arena is
neither a prize ring nor tough dive.
It is the ante chamber to station OF
honor and dignity. in which the head
of the state must from time to time
stand among the chosen best Of the
nation as it's appointed representative.
. It ia far from unreasonable to exact
amendment of manner and decent con-
troll of temper of men who aspire to
stand for and speak for the state of
Minnesota In the governors place.

"BRYAN IS DEAD"

"Bryan is dead. Dead and buried in
1896. Dead and buried In 1898. Dead
and buried in 1900; says the Red Wing
Argus.
Every time he opens his mouth or
took up pen since the famous Chicago
convention, Bryan's every utterance
has heaped more earth on his tomb.
"We know that's so because We get
it from the republican papers.
"And yet this man who has been
defunct eight years is the target Of
more shafts from the opposition press
than any other man.
"Bryan, the dead and the down.
the ezcoriated and eviscerated, the
obliterated and annihiIated, is today
one of the most potent forces In Amer
lea.
"Because he believes what he says
and says what he believes. He has nc
official standing In the democratic
party. He is running little weekly
paper in Lincoln, Nebraska, and there
are dozens Of men anywhere who car
put up q better paper. He is not run
ming for any Office, he speaks with
no authority of place, he commands
no appointments, he can distribute
no favors.
"And still they 6gh. him with al
their might"

Gentlemen who view with alarm
the large immigration may take hope
from the following conclusions,
reached after long consideration by O.
P. Austin. of the Bureau of Statis-
tice, and stated in recent article In
the North American Review: First,
that the present immigration is being
entirely assimilated; second, that the
so-called Objectionable immigration
is not the class filing the jails and
almshouses third, that the children
of immigrants in the matter Of educa-
tion compare favorably with our own
native population; fourth, that they
are not as q class the DANGEROUS ele-
ment in politics; fifth, that they are
an important factor in the develop
ment and wealth producing power of
the country"

New York is now the second port in
the world In entered tonnage, London
being first, and Liverpool. which was
once second, falling to sixth place.
damberg is third. Antwerp fourth,
Hong Kong fifth, Rotterdam seventh,
closely pressed by Marseilles and
Genoa. The next American port after
New YORK is Boston, in twenty.11rst
place. There is no surprise that New
York should be second, but 1t had not
been thought that the other American

The board Of education of Chicago
has decided, on the recommendation Of
supt. Cooley of that city, to suppress
the secret societies existing in the
high schools Of that city. 1nvestiga-
ton shows that the societies create
social, racial and religious discussions
and animosities by the distinctions
they draw. The. schools of the United
States are, az has been we'll said, first
of all nation builders, and 1t is essen
tial that they be permeated with the

i are by. of. and for the people. and
In them there must be true democracy.

The republican party Of Minnesota
presents spectacle these days which
can: hardly::be. pleasing to:.the::ma Of
the organization, who witness daily
revelations showing that trusted
leaders have been untrue to honor, to
the party and to the state. The cor
ruption appears to be SO deep that. 1t
is doubtful whether even the nomina-
ton Of good man yet unmentioned
would purify the party. A defeat ia
sometimes q wholesome dose for a
party drunk with power, and that is
what the G. O. P. of Minnesota
needs.

Among the political facts Of history
which the Transcript gave last week
was one to the effect that six years
ago, when Van. SAINT. Eustis and Col
Inns were candidates for the republi-
can nomination for governor, Van
SAINT delegation was sent to the state
convention. That delegation was for
Van SAINT at the request Of a certain
local corporation which at that time
was friendly to Van SAINT, and was
hardly an indication as to the real
sentiments of the republicans at that
time
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1904-06-10

The Transcript takes exception to
the statement Of the Herald that there
is strong and growing sentiment for
Collins In Morrison county. The
Herald is not particularly interested
in the gubernatorial struggle now dis
tracing our republican friends. The
charges and recriminations which fill
the air have had their effect in Nor
rison county as elsewhere. Many re-
publicans are Disguised at the situa-
tion. and have expressed themselves
publicly to that effect. The Transcript
says, in effect, that all the republicans
that amount to anything In this coun-
ty, are for Dunn. To show that this
is q mistake, We will mention one
man alone, a strong republican,
deemed worthy not long ago to be the
republican candidate for sheriff. This
is ex-Mayor Wilson OF Royalton, who
is surely representa- republican.
We could name quite a number more.
We would like, for instance, to have
the Transcript name some Dunn men
among the republican old soldiers. 1t
would not be surprising were there
quite q number Of Collins men in
this county In spite of the fact that
the leaders are for Dunn. Mr.. Dunn
and his methods are not new to the
people Of this county: The memory Of
| the Dunn-Price contest is not yet
dimmed. It 10 possible, as the Tran
script says, that Collins is no better,
nor as good. That is none Of oul
affairs. It seems strange, however,
that in q county where go much ado
was made about Van SAINTS fight
against the railroad power, that those
who made the greatest noise about II
should be now supporting man who
had no sympathy for Van SAINTS
deeds.

~ the Hon. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES
Of Georgia.
The movement in favor of W. R.
Hearst for president is founded on the
essentials Of Democratic tradition and
Democratic principles.
The Democratic party in it's incep-
ton, mission and history has been q
party Of the people. Its work and its
record have been one Of supreme consid-
GRAFTON for the rights and interests Of
great bodies of citizens as opposed to
the privileges Of class or to the favorit-
ism expressed by legislative enactment
for the few.
The reason why Mr.. Hearst has de-
veloped a strength so remarkable and
80 sustained in the ranks Of this great
party is because of the fact that he,
above all the men now active in jour-
nalism or in politics, has been con-
sistently and vigorously true to these
traditions and to these ideals.
