BRYAN AND ROosEvELT.

VIII They Lead the Opposing Forces. Washington Correspondence Baltimore
 A distinguished Republican said some time ago that after Roosevelt it would not be presumptuous for any man to aspire to the Presidency, how ever, deficient in qualifications for that high office.
 MT. Hearst owes much to Mir. Roose-' welt. IT the President has not made radicalism respectable and popular, ne has at least accustomed the country to it. so that public sensibilittes are not now so alive to shocks. and the people are tolerant of things which would formerly not have been endured. moreover, there is no doupt Tn t%he % minds of men we'll informed as to the political game MT. Roosevelt Is play ing that he is sympathetic with the movement of Mir. Hearst's friends to in command of the Democratic party, and that ne has given the movement some encouragement. espsclany through the very timely acknowledg- torney- General Moody In connection with the trust prosecutions. Under present political conditions MT. Roose- welt realized the advantage of hayins one even less conservative than him- self in command of the opposing forces.
 An advantage lying with the Re- publicans is that if Roosevelt is oyer thrown they will be free to go hitner~ soever they will for a captain to place In command. whereas the Democrats will have Bryan to reckon with even after Hearst is unhorsed Thiss how ever, has it's saving grace for the Democrats. in that should Hearst pc elected the party would not be so hope lessly In his power as long as they had Bryan with whom to oppose Hearsts ambition to mount to the greatest height of party power,
 There appears at this time to be It, bewilderinE, and withal % full of ab- surdity that the temptation is almost irresistible to treat 1t not seriously. But conditions are really grave when serious affairs of politics and of state appear ludicrous.
 Ther appears at this time to be lit- upon the future of the Democracy VIII

 Omaha, Neb., Nov. S.-According to advices received at army headquarters here the Ute Indians who have been causing trouble in Wyoming and Mon- tsna are en route for Fort Meade and are expected to arrive there about November 14.
 They go overland and are escorted by the eight troops of the 9th cavalry. TWO troops of the 9th cavalry and the four troops of the sth cavalry from Fort Robinson, will remain in the field on scouting duty to round up any Indians who may break away from the main body en route.

It was an sucticn sale of bankrupt's stock of whiskey, and the reports from the sale are that sull quarts of whislsey went for 15 cents. and gallon jugs for 4o cents each.

RURAL CARRIERS DEVICE

Automatic Electrical Train Recorder
Which Promises to Revolutionize
the Methods Now in vogue-Experts
Show Interest in the Invention.

Elmer E. Steiner, rural route car
rier at Knightstown has been grant
ed patents on a new electrical appli-
ance which will cut a big figure in
the operation of trains in years to
come. When installed the system dis
patches and reports the movement of
all trains automatically. Stations are
built in the track bed and registers in
all engine cabs and dispatchers' Off
ces show the condition of track, num-
Der of trains and the speed and direc-
ton they are running. By experts the
new system is pronounced a decided
success and patent rights have been
taken by Steiner covering the United
States, and a company of twenty-five
men has been organized to take out
patent rights in Germany, France and
England.
Steiner has spent two years of con-
slant study and work on his recent
invention and has already been inter
viewed by railroad men who are look
ing for an appliance that will do the
work that Steiner claims for his.

DICK" BENSON DROWNED
END OF NOTED CHARACTER
Had Been in Police Court in Richmond
Many Times and Was Brother of
Luther Benson, the Temperance
Lecturer-Drowned Near NobIesvilIe.

Richard Benson, who figured in the
local police court many times, always
charged with drunkness, was drown
ed in White river near Noblesville
Saturday night and his body was
found Sunday by boys who were fish
ing. Benson was originally from
near Bentonville, a few miles south
west of Cambridge City. He was ed
ucated in Ann Arbor, became a law
yer and then whiskey blighted his
career. For years he was wanderer
and he always managed to get in
the tolls when he visited Richmond.
Saturday night he was in Noblesville,
drunk as usual, and was ordered out
of town. 1t is believed he fell into
the river while attempting to cross
the railroad bridge near the town.
Benson was a brother of Luther Ben

MARRIAGE OF POLO STAR
R0LLIN Dewitt Welded
Become Methodist Minister and
Figured Recently in Revival Servi-
ces Held at Normal City.
Palladium Specially

Muncie, June 1S.-After having had
an eventful career as a polo play
er and becoming satiated with the
applause of the populace, Rollin J. De
Witt, who a short time ago resigned
his position as half-back with a polo
team in Ohio to become a minister
in the Methodist church to which he
had been converted a short time be-
fore at a revival, was married yester-
day afternoon at o'clock by the Rev.
w. A. Greist, of Anderson to Miss
Cora Iseley. The wedding was a
very quiet one and was attended only
by few friends and relatives of the
couple.
De Witt returned to Muncie last
winter ad much comment was created
by his sudden leaving of the world
of sport and entrance into the relig-
ious work. De Witt has lived in Mum
Gle all his life and was one of the
most enthusiastic of the amateur polo
players during the league days here.
After his return to Muncie, De Witt
assisted at the revival services which
were held at the Normal City M. E.
church, and was instrumental in max
ing many conventions among the
young men of the suburb.

Peru, Ind, June 1S.-The brutal
murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Tresch is
still the sole topic of interest in Peru.
Four days have passed since the aged
widow was strangled in her home, but
no clew to the murderer has been
found. The local officers have run
down all the information regarding
suspects in surrounding towns and are
now about ready to admit that they
are baffled.
Some encouragement for solution
of the mystery was given when John
Sweeney, chief of detectives of the
Cincinnati police department, broth
er-in-law of Mrs. Tresch, and Detec-
tive Ryan, of Fort Wayne, arrived
here to work on the case. Detective
Sweeney says he will not abandon the
case until he has found the murderer
of his sister-in-law.
The ordinance committee of the city
council has called for an appropria-
ton of $1,000 as reward for the
capture of the murderer. The ordi-
nance will be passed at the regular
meeting of the council on Tuesday
night The board of county commits
sioners will be asked to appropriate
another 1000 and the lodges and citi-
zens expect to raise $1,000 more, max
ing the total reward $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved that this amount will attract
enough detectives to ferret out the
murderer.
James Flanagan the bartender who
roOmed at the TreSch home, is still in
Jail in default of $1,000 bond. He is
held as a witness, but as Coroner Ride
nour has kept Flanagan's testimony
closely guarded it is believed that he
expects Flanagan to throw some light
on the mystery.

NO MUCK RAKE NEEDED.

A New York newspaper of the ''yel-
low" variety has been using it's muck
rake" in an effort to show that Sena-
tor Beveridge must be pretty close to
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany for the reason that he once
accepted a $4,000 fee from that COM
pany. The Indiana senator, however,
without so much as batting an eye
shows that the $4,000 was a fee, earn
ed and paid before he was elected to
the senate. 1t mightnot be amiss to say
right here that probably no member
of either branch of the United States
congress is more careful than Senator
Beveridge to keep himself clear of in
timacy with great corporations. SEN
ator Beverage is one Of the very few
members of Congress who has never
accepted railroad pass. If he has
ever accepted favor from any man
or corporation which have interests
in Congress nobody ever heard of it.
His ideas on this particular sort of
petty grating are so pronounced that
by some he has been accused of being
eccentric. So when it comes to a
New York yellow sheet trying to in
volve Senator Beveridge in some an
cient transaction which does not even
remotely connect itself with the sena-
tors official life, 1t has struck snag.
