Especial to THE T1MEsl

Indianapolis, June 12.-Both parties
Of practically all the thirteen districts
of the state have now nominated their
candidates for congress. The democrats
of the First, Tenth and Thirteenth dis
tricts and the republicans of the Third
and Fourth are the only ones yet to
hold their convention.
1t is generally conceded that John w.
Boehne, mayor of Evansville, will be
the democratic nominee of the First.
Opposition to him has faded away. Mai.
Menzies of Mt. Vernon, sought to lead a
fight against Boehne but the fighting
general of southern indiana and winner
OF many political battles was licked
at the outset so badly that he aban-
doned his cause. Boehne is popular
with the law and other people of Van
derburg county. He put the lid on Ev-
ansville and has kept it there. His
fame has Travelled throughout the dis
trict and he probably is the strongest
democrat in the lower tier of counties.
Boehne's congressional opponent Will
be John H Foster, also of Evansville,

publicans Foster does not stand on

@rH1s IS MY NTH birthday


Sir David Gill, one of the best known
of living astronomers, was born in Abb
erdeenshfre June u, 1S43, and was
educated ct Aberdeen university. At
ter his graduation he set UP small
private observatory near the univer-
sity. Here he pursued his studies for
a number of years until engaged to
conduct the private observatory of the
earl of Crawford. and to organize his
expedition to Mauritius to view the
transit of Venus. In 1877 he proposed
and carried out an expedition to AS
cension island to determine the solar
parallax by observation of Mars. For
his achievements along this line he re-
ceived prizes from the Royal Astro-
monica society and the French insti-
tute Subsequently he organized sew
eral expeditions and was connected as
director with large number of good
etc surveys, principally in Africa. In
1882 he photographed the great comet,
and pointed out the desirability of u.s.
ing photography for cataloguing stars.

government on a mission to Berlin to
arrange the details of a boundary sur
vey between British Bechuanaland and
German, Southwest Africa, work

A neighboring exchange finds re-
lief from the public pressure in the
following bit of satire:
Every newspaper editor has exc
perience with persons who imagine that
it is the province of a newspaper to
correct all troubles. If the opera
house is not properly heated. the puo-
Usher is asked to roast the manager
If the mail train is late, roast the
postmaster. If your boy or girl have
been wasting time in school roast the
teacher. and roast the school board in
good measure. The council should be
roasted every time it does anything
and roasted again when it fails to act
If your neighbor is more prosperous
than you are. the newspaper should an
nounce that he probably got some of
his money dishonesty. If citizen
wins praise for public spirit, roast

finish. Both state committees will make
the district a battle ground
Congressman William E Cox of the
Third, and Congressman Lincoln Dixon
Of the Fourth. have been renominated
by the democrats. The republicans
have not yet named their nominees.
AS both districts are reliably demo-
cratic and as disaffection does not this
year exist among the majority. the re-
publicans will not wage much of
fight either in the Third or the Fourth.
The Fifth will probably return re-
publican congressman as Howard Max

fr finding a man to make the race
against him but finally Ralph Moss of
Brazil, consented to make the sacrifice.
Moss is a former state senator and
good man, being a farmer of scientific
education and much force. During the
two years he was in the general as

alike looked to him for advice on ques-
tions pertaining to farm legislation
Moss may surprise the district but the

race against Watson two years ago
and who sought the democratic guber-
Material nomination this year Repub-
licans insist that old wounds in the
district have healed over and that

executive committee for April 10. in
Pendleton. at which time a petition
VIII be framed and forwarded to the
forestry Bureau. This will request
that for this year only an Increased
number of sheep above the allot-
ments be allowed on the National re-
serves in Oregon. 1t will be asked
that the number be left the same as
last year at least. 1t Is said that IL
the sheepmen are compelled to sell
on now to the number they are al
lowed to take on to the reserves. It
would mean a great sacrifice, since
the present market is much of owing
to the recent financial disturbance.
Sheepmen claim there Is an actual
shortage of mutton sheep in the
United States, and that the present
low prices are caused by the finan-
cial disturbance and not because of
an over supply.
