The bazaar and festival given by the
ladies OF the M. f.. Church on the aft
crnoon and evening of Thanksgiving
day proved an enjoyable occasion.
The proceeds amounted to over two
hundred dollars. The addition which
was built to the church during the
wear makes it more convenient for
holding a festival in the large room
on the first floor of the building. Ow-
ing to the fact that an abundance re-
manned over from the festival on
Thursday, a fifteen cent supper was
served on Friday evening, and was
largely attended.

GENERAL DAVIS RET1REs,

Washington. Jan. 31.-President
Roosevelt will have an opportunity
this year to appoint one major gen.
eral and four brigadiers, one Of
whom will be chief of engineers.
Vacancies will be caused by the re-
tirement of high ranking officers un-
der operation of the age limit, the
first OF these taking place today,
when Brigadier General ]. M. X.
Davis, in commend of the department
of the Gulf, leaves the army service.
The next retirement among gen.
eral officers will be that of Major
General A. w. Greeley, former chief
signal officer and now in command
OF the department of Dakota, on
March 27. This Will leave vacancy
In the grade of major general and
permit the promotion OF briga-
dier general, with consequent va
cancy in that grade.
The other brigadier general to re-
tire will be General Charles B. Hall,
on August 20. General Hall Is now
in command of the postgraduate
school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
one OF the most important billets
In the military establishment.
Brigadier General Alexander Mac
Kensie, chief of engineers, will re-
tire on May 25. The principal phase
of interest to army officers in con-
nection with these retirements is
that there is one chance this year
of the advancement of Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, now the
senior member of his grade, to the
rank of major general.

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 31.-Pre-

be held today and tomorrow in the
various townships. precincts and
wards throughout Indiana for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
district convention next Tuesday.
Two delegates and two alternates
to the national convention will be
elected in each congressional district
at next weeks conventions. and these
together with four delegates at
large to be elected later, will con-
stitute Indiana's representation in
the republican national convention. 1t
is likely that all the delegates will
be pledged to support the presiden-
tial aspirations of Vice-President

BRYAN IS THE
STRONGEST MAN
Most Interesting Array Of Facts and Figures Presented BY
will j. Abbot-Bryan is the Only Candidate Who
Ever Carried Western Republican &ates--Cot
Bigger Vote than Parker in Every
Eastern State--Some Comparisons.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Several
days ago the house of representatives,
was the scene of remarkable dem
onstration for Mr.. Bryan, prompted
by the statement of Champ Clark
that the Democrats were going to
nominate the Nebraskan for the pres
idency. A counter Republican DEM
onstration for Speaker Cannon, while
flattering, could not compare with
the enthusiasm evoked for Bryan.
Late this week the names of Bryan
and Cannon were again dragged into
the house debate. Reserving COM
ment upon the Cannon episode for
the time being, the readers attention
Is called to the unanswerable argu-
ment of Representative Hitchcock of
Nebraska as TO the political strength
of Mr.. Brygn.
Congressman Hitchcock, who is
also owner of the Omaha World-Her-
aid, rose to reply to a statement re-
Gently made by General Grosvenor of
Ohio. in which the latter deprecated
Mr.. Bryan's vote-getting possibilities.
Comment upon General Grosvenor's
calculations has already been made
In this correspondence. But In view
of the false opinion that might be
loTlnto db a AC6ult VI lut Ahoo anu
fancies of the late official prophet of
the Republican party (now out of a
job 1t is just as well to repeat some
of Mr.. Hitchcock's facts and figures.
Mr.. Hitchcock held the attention of
the house for about an hour, and was
frequently interrupted by Republi-
cans and loudly applauded by Demo-
Gratis. He takes issue with General
Grosvenor In regard to Colorado.
Idaho. Illinois. Indiana, Montana, Ne
braska, New. York, Ohio and some
other states.
1t Is impossible to do Justice within
the limits of this correspondence to
Mr.. Hitchcock's statement. Briefly
summarized, he shows that In Colo
RADIO in 1900 Bryan polled 21,0O0
more votes than Parker did in 1904.
Bryan, in fact, has carried the Re
publican state of Colorado by larg-
er plurality than any Democrat who
ever ran for the presidency.
Take Idaho. Bryan carried 1t both
in 1896 and 1900, and no other Dem
ocrat has ever carried that state
Parker polled only two-thirds as
many votes in Idaho as Bryan di1
four years before.
Take Illinois. Bryan polled about
10000 more votes there than Parker
and more votes than any Democratic
candidate for the presidency before
or since. Running four years after
Cleveland, he had 10000 more votes
Running four years before Parker
he had 175,000 more votes than
Parker. Does 1t look as If the Demo-
