Nathan Killing Gives Sound
Thrashing to Man Who
InsuIted His Wife.
POLICE ARE WORKING HARD.
ANT OF KATHERINE MckONE
MONDAY NIGHT THINK MAN
WAS OF UNSOUND MIND.

The epidemic of insulting women on
the streets still continues, but one
drunken masher last evening got his
just rewards and this morning was
fined in the city court.
Last evening Mr.. and Mrs Nathan
while walking along North f street, in
front of the Railroad Store, noticed
Newton Evans, who was beastly in
tOXicated, stagger against some young
women, who hurried away from him.
Evans then approached Mrs. Hill
ling and acted in an insulting manner.
Killing told him to go away or he
struck Killing. who pushed the insult
er of his wife against the building. Ev-
ans then called Killing a vile name. 1t
was then that the masher got his just
rewards. Killing jumped upon Evans
and with blows straight from the
shoulder. sent him in a heap to the
sidewalk
When the police arrived upon the
scene both men were placed under ar
rest but no charge was filed against
Killing when it was learned that he
had assaulted Evans for insulting
Mrs. Killing. In the city court this
morning Evans entered a plea of not
guilty Mr.. and Mrs. Killing each ties
titled that Evans was the man who
had been the cause of the trouble
Evans stated that he was so drunk
when the affair took place that he re
membered nothing about it. Special
| Judge w. II. Kelley told Evans that
this was no excuse and administered
fine of s. and costs.
The police are vigorously working
| to secure the arrest of the unknown
man who bTutallY assaulted Miss
Katherine MCkOne Monday night. or
the front lawn of her own home. The
police have some excellent evidence
at their command and it is quite prob
able that the young wOmaDs assailant
will be taken into custody within the
next tWenty-fOur hours.
| Owing to the purpOSelesnesS of this
assault il is believed in some quarters
that the assailant was man of un
sound mind The report of this as
sault has had the effect of further
terrorizing women residing in the
east end of the city.

SPEAKER JOSEPH
GUR NEY CANNON
As PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY
The Following Extracts Are From an Article by
ALFRED HENRY LEWIS in the April Issue of
HUMAN LIFE

Without wronging the gentleman, |

subject has mention, is willing, If not
pleasantly eager, to be made Presi-
dent of these United States. Person

driven to look another way. With
nothing but his forty years of public
life to Judge FROM added to what he
has recently said concerning popular
conditions and the needs IF the pop
ular hour, | could no more commend
Mr. Cannon for the presidency than
myself for the rectorship of Trinity
Church.
Mr.. Cannon began practice in the
illinois courts, and drew about him a
fair circle of clients. Also he was a
money getter; and, his habits of.sav-
ing and economizing remaining, he
put away two dollars for every dollar
he spent. He put those saved dollars
into land, at five dollars an acre,
which has since gone to twenty-five
and fifty and even one hundred dol
lars an acre.
His Ships Always Came Safely
Home
Mr.. Cannon, from land purchases,
expanded into other fields of effort.
Also his ships came always safely
home; for his money-sense was as
bright and clear and deep as beauty

romantic writer's Now, at seventy
two, when he thinks on a White
House, he is worth a round two mil
lions, and may call himself, if not the
eldest, at least the richest, of all

nothing with it. There is no record
that he so much as fired at anything.
Given a White House gun, he would
burn no more powder, bring down no
more game.
AS displaying the election craft of
Mr.. Cannon, story is told. Mr.. Can
non, whose region swarms with far
mers, would make out a list of ones
he ought to see. These were either
Democrats grown shaky, or Republi-
cans whose loyalty to Mr.. Cannon had
suffered a relapse. Taking it town
ship by township, Mr.. Cannon would
visit these political uncertainties. He
one-broad-chested, and taught in
labors of the farm.
Mr.. Cannon would find his doubtful
man a-field, busy with scythe or plOW.
At the CHEEKY hint Of Mr.. Cannon his
sturdy companion took the doubtful
ones place in swath or furrow; where
at the emanCipated one, with Mr.. Can
non, would repair to the shade of a
tree. The farmer, under the restful
circumstances, never minded the loss
of his time. Mr. Cannon was welcome
to whatever space he required to show
that the safety of the nation demand
ed his congressional return. Having
driven the nail. Mr.. Cannon would
clenCh it, in cases where the farmer
had a watch, by asking the hour, and
setting his own particular Elgin by
that Of the farmers. This last piece
of Difference was never known to fail,
and Mr. Cannon drove off in his carry
all the stronger by another vote.

ticle by Alfred Henry Lewis in the
April issue of HUMAN LIFE, the
magazine about people, and should be

America.

Features of Platform

Some features of the platform which
was adopted this afternoon and which
were not contested in any way were
as follows:
The republican notes with pleasure
the growing determination to @radi-
cate political corruption from what
ever source the same originates and
to the end that the republican party
may respond to that sentiment, we OPP
pose the contribution to political par
ties for campaign purposes by or on
behalf of the corporations Of the state
and nation and we hereby commend
the Indiana Republican State Gem
mittee, for its refusal to accept cor
poral contributions.
we demand the most rigid ecOnO-
my in public expenditures and are OPP
posed to the creation of unnecessary
public officers. The republican party
has always favored a small standing
army to represent the nation and not
withstanding the taking over Of new
possessions the small numbers in our
standing army is proof of our edher-
ence to that policy.

New York, Sept 5.-Former

the effect that the former democratic
presidential candidate might be
nominated for governor of this state.
Mr. Parker had nothing to say re-
garding the report.
AS to the democratic prospects
generally, Mr.. Parker said he was
surprised at the show of early dem
ocratic strength in the west. Il Wis
