1t had been thought that the Tag

Terre Haute Brewing company, be
thrown to John E. Lamb. Fairbanks
has for years been the political and
financial hacker of Taggart and he is
the only man from whom the former

1t had been ooped that Fairbanks
was for Lamb and that he would order
Taggart and his crowd into the Lamb
camp. That he has not is explained
on the ground that Taggart convinced
Fairbanks that Lamb could rot win
and that Kern was the only man that
could beat L. Err Slack, Of Franklin.
Wishing to support a winner, Fair
banks is supposed to have accepted
Kern, although he originally favored
Lamb.
Kern and Slack the Princivals.
The recent shifting makes it ap-

will be the principal actors in the leg

and Slack the opposition of the Fair
banks-Taggart outfit. But Kern will
not be without friends divorced from
the brewery industry and Slack will
not be without support from liquor
men. This latter statement is
founding but conditions justify it.
And that opens up another chapter as
follows:
Another Chapter.

with the Taggart crowd and has never

the only man in the state who can

BOTH TRIALS WERE
IN SUPERIOR COURT
Chief of Police Rimbach Is Outraged
at Result Of Murder Trial and Asks
whats the Use"-Residents Of
Standard District Amazed at Trials 5
Outcome.

When a Jury will find a man like
Joe Mah0vski 500 and send him
to jail for thirty days after we
make out a clear case of assault
with intent to kill; how can you
expect us to prevent continual riot
ing in the Standard district! At
that rate the punishment for at
tempted murder is not as great as
that for stealing horse.
CHIEF OF POLICE RIMBACH.
The other day Lawrence Ryan of
Gary stole several pairs of boots. For
all that the average person knows
Ryan may have been another Jean Val
jean He may have been impelled by
the force of circumstances to steal the
boots Nevertheless he was found
guilty by jury in the Lake superior
court and was sentenced to from one
to eight years in the penitentiary.
Strange Work of Jury.
Today another Hammond Jury was
impaneIed tostry the case Of Joe Mahov-
ski. He was found guilty of engaging
in a drunken saloon brawl in which
he whipped out a razor and cut the
throat of an innocent by-stander. The
cut, according to the testimony of the
doctor was five inches in length and
came within a hairs breadth of slash
ing the jugular vein.
But Joe Hahovski did not stop at
that murderous attack. He cut anoth-
er man on the top of the head and
laid open his scalp for three inches.
He made an attempt to rip open an
other mans stomach with the razor and
finally ended his bloody job by kicking
a man in the leg.
A Neat Surprise.
He was intoxicated, but the law rec
ognizes the fact that man is respon-
sible for the inevitable consequences
of his own acts and 1t was expected
that Joe Mahovski would be sent to
the penitentiary.
Instead of that the jury brought in a
verdict in which Joe Mahovskf was
found guilty. but was fined but 500
and costs and was only sentenced to
thirty days in jail.
IF the jury had taken the prisoner
and put a Ounce cap on his head and
then placed him in the corner of the
courtroom until he said he was sorry
it would have had about the same effect
on the murderous foreigners in the
Standard district" according to one of
the residents of that district.
Thinks 1t an Outrage.
Chief Rimbach thought that the
verdict was an outrage. He said 1t
was not always that they could make
out as clear a case against the for
eigners as they were able to do in this
case and yet the sa1utory effect which
a good heavy sentence would have on
the rest of the foreigners is lost.
A prominent Hammond lawyer said
that a man might go out and cave in
some ones head with a Delaying pin
and steal a purse containing $50 from
another man and he would get from
two to twenty-one years for stealing
the purse, while he get SO and costs
for the attempt at murder If the pa
| tient happened to pull through and
did not die.

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
 FAvORS NEW THEORY
E. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts,
 Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One of the most interesting state ments made recently concerning the much discussed Cooper theory, that has spread over the country during the past year, is made by E. H. Lambert, a retired business man, whose home is at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
 MT. Lambert has this to say in con- nection with Cooper and his medi- cines: Some time ago 1 read an ar ticle about this man Cooper, in which he claimed that stomach trouble was directly responsible for most i'll health He went on to say that, although his medicine did nothing but get the stom- ach in sound condition, it wonld, in many cases, remove kidney and liver trouble and various other ailments. He argued from this that the stomach was the main cause of sickness, and stated that the success he has had with his medicines was due entirely to this fact.
 'I am now fully convinced that this theory IS correct, and believe Cooper has a really remarkable medicine, judging from my own experience.
 T have been Q sick man for five

years. Three years ago I was told by a physician that I had Bright's dis ease of the kidneys. I have treated constantly for this trouble since, with out results. After reading the article have mentioned, purchased some of this man Cooper's medicine. I have been astounded by what it has done for me. 1 was relieved to some extent within 24 hours. Today my health is better than for five years, and so far as 1 can tell, my kidney trouble has disappeared.
 My wife, who had stomach trouble for some time, tried the preparation after noting it's action in my case, and her improvement is fully as mark ed as mine. She now eats heartily three times day without any distress whatsoever. Her nervousness has also left her. 1 certainly believe this mans success is fully justified, as he un-, doubtedly has a wonderful medicine"

LIVING AT HOME
mastered

There are a good many problems confronting the farmers when it comes to consideration of his acreage for another year and what crops to plant, but it is safe to say that they will come nearer being successfully solved by the man who first plans on how he can live at home regardless of what con- ditions may confront him.
 The condition confronting the farm CTS of this section are the greatest ar gument that can be made for crop diversification, and the making of the living on the farm.
 In every section of Arkansas where fruits and truck, the COW, the hen and the hog has received attention, bank statements make an excellent showing and little complaint is heard of dull times. In these sections the farmers are whistling merrily over their prep arations for spring planting, satisfied that their home-filled larder will carry them through and keep their families in comfort
 On the other hand, those sections where crops have been specialized tn, farmers, the bankers and the merchants are all worrying over market pros poets. The farmer who plans for hi, garden, his stable, his stye and hi. fowl house first, and his money ant crops later is the most independen man on earth, for no matter wha comes he is sure of his living, and, as an exchange says, that is about al that comes to us in this world anyway

Gen. Powell Clayton, the recognized Republican boss of Arkansas, has given out statement that the Arkan- sas delegation to the Republican na- tional convention will go uninstructed.

There will be no more work done on Arkansas new capitol building until the legislature meets again and makes further appropriations for that pur- pose, the supreme court having hand ed down an opinion last Monday, in which it held that no money could be paid out for work on the capitol build ing, because the fund originally ap- propriated cannot be used until the legislature renews the appropriation. The court holds that, according to the constitution, state appropriations can only be used for two years. Thus the crumbling ruins of this magnificent structure will stand for another year as monument to the dishonor of Arkansas sstatesmanship

Reading, writing and spelling we say it regretfully-are not thoroughly taught in the common schools of the land. Young men and women who seek instruction in telegraphy, stenog- raphs and typewriting, although of good ability and general information, are lamentably deficient in the funda- mentals of the English language. They especially can not spell. Out of thirty or-forty words in ordinary use sometimes one-half, or even two-thirds are misspelled. This every newspaper man will stand ready to vouch for from experience. The common schools do not give the common rudiments the attention they should-too much at tention is given the higher branches before the common ones have been mastered,

Don't be afraid to do your duty be- cause some one ridicules or opposes you, A man who has opinions of his own and the courage to advocate them will be sure to have opposition in this world because he runs across or con trary to other peoples opinions; but just keep right ahead if your cause is right and your conscience clear. Don't worry about what other people say; life is too short for that. Some will abuse you through envy, others for the want of principle and some be- cause they honestly differ from you; but if you keep right on, openly, man. fully and intelligently, and with your proper dignity of character, honesty of purpose and self-respect, those who differ from you will respect your opinions.

Brother Waterman of the Newport Democrat intimates that the cause of the failure Of the Tuckerman Times, is that it made the very grave mistake of opposing his candidacy for state senator.

The World Policeman.

1t is evident from the Balkan bust
ness that the world policeman is hydra
headed. AS soon as the Bulgarians,
the Serbs, the Czechs, the Bosnians
and Albanians began to do things
every great nation was tipped off from
some mysterious source to "sit on the
safety valve" All Europe seemed
bent on suppression, and the pent up
forces were not allowed to break loose.
1t was not cure, only sedative.
1t remains to be seen whether the
initial work Of the world policeman
was we'll timed. Sometimes a club
bing is the right thing in a riot, and
again 1t is well to give the rioters room
to have 1t out among themselves. How
ever it goes this time, the real Balkan
trouble is not one to 'blow over" And
1t may prove one that no police club
can settle.

wifehood and Pluck.

"The pluckiest woman in America
today" was the comment of Judge in
the case Of a wife who recently ap.
peared in court to free her husband on
charge Of bank wrecking. 1t was not
the fact Of the wife's appearance In
court to stand by her husband that
provoked the remark, for that is an
everyday occurrence. She had turned
the sumptuous mansion once maintain
ed with the profits of his mysterious
dealings into a fashionable boarding
house and become a breadwinner to
keep the wolf from the door. The drop
from society lady to the rank of a
breadwinner was undoubtedly humili-
ating to pride, but not more so than In
the case of thousands who thus meet
similar emergency.
Women who give up leisure and drop
their social aims when family finances
come to grief and go to work to save
the home are found in every American
community. If no other motive spurs
them 1t is the hope of hiding the terri
BILE truth from the children and letting
their lives go on just the same. In the
child world these social tragedies are
but a nine days wonder when the
mother takes hold to straighten things
out. Setting one wife and mother
above any other in this respect seems
far cry for an idol. The modesty
shown in Napier's celebrated eulogy OH
the gallant Englishman who died 'lead-
ing the van," as the soldier loves to
die, on the very top of the ramparts at
the storming of Badajos, is worthy Of
study by users of the superlative.
"None fell that day with greater glory
than he, yet many fell, and there was
much glory" Praise here for the hum
blest who fell, yet admirers Of the par
ticular one referred to could miss moth
ing in the tribute. Thousands of dis
tressed wives are plucky, and there's
nothing nobler than being zone of the
best"

Canada's National Policies.


Like our own election, the campaign
in Canada this year involved many
radical questions Of national policy.
The Laurier administration has EN-
joyed long lease Of power, as power
goes in q representative government,
and has undertaken many works of
national extent and importance, nota-
bly, railways and waterways. A motto
Of the party in power has been "From
colony to nation, 1S96-190S." While
the people paid the bills, of course, for
all this, the ministry whose continue
tion in authority was at stake in the
election claimed share in the credit.
The leader of the Liberals and, as
his adherents contend, the strongest
force in the movement for progress, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, gave to his party n
personality Of indisputable strength.
He fought on the defensive in the cam
paign, and for a man Of his character
that was an attitude to rally strength
in political contest, however keen
and well grounded the criticism Of the
opposition leveled at the record of his
administration might appear. The cam
paign was notably thorough and vigor-
GUS from the coast to the western bor-
der and on the part of the government
we'll organized throughout the prov
inces,
