Preparing a Unique Volume
Of Poetry of Which He Is
The Author.
ORIGINAL COPY IS
REPRODUCED IN BOOK.
Wayne County's Poet Has
Been Writing Since He Was
A Boy of Nineteen Years of
Age With Success.

S. b. HuddlestOn Of Dublin. Ind. has
gained considerable prominence as a
poet throughout Wayne county, and it
is with pleasure that his many
friends have learned that he is at
present having bound at the Mich
olson Printing company. a complete
collection Of all of his literary efforts.
covering period of nearly half cen
tury.
The book is unique IN that the orig
inal copy which he submitted TO the
publishers has been reproduced. The
books viii be of substantial binding
with an appropriate cover design.
The contents are even more unique
than the book-craft. The poems are
of almost every conceivable character,
religious, humorous, pastoral and his
torical. The author first began to
write poetry at the age of nineteen
years, and during his three years of
service in the civil war he spent many
a night at the campfire writing a poem
on some incident of pathos that had
occurred during the days engagement
In 1871, Mr.. Hudd1eston wrote the
history OF his regiment, the S4th Indi-
ana Infantry, in a series of articles
which appeared in the New Castle
Courier, when A. G. Wilcox was edi-
tor.

SENATE COMMITTEE FINDS THAT

AMOUNT TO COMPLETE GREAT
WATER WAY.

Washington, ID. C., Jan. l3.-The en-.
tire appropriation OF $4,000, 900 au.
thorized by congress for canal across
the lsthmus of Panama, based on origi-
nal estimates, will be exhausted in
less than eighteen months, or by June
80. 1909.
Computations made by LEADING
members of the senate committee on
nteroceanic canals, indicate that at
least SlJo,oo,OoO additional will be
required to complete the water way.
These figures are founded on the opti-
MYSTIC prediction that the work can be
finished within five years
The pronounced advocates of a sea
level canal still insist that the lock
system upon which work is now being
prosecuted, will prove an utter failure.
The prophecy is freely made that
eventually it will be necessary 10
place the canal at sea level, thereby
adding to the total cost and bringing
the future appropriations by congress
for this purpose up to an aggregate of
approximately S3OO.OOOOOO, This
would make the final expenditure for
the great water way reach the enor-
nous sum of S435, 100000.

Tomorrow Cambridge City will be
filled with busy politicians from all
over the sixth district. The district

expected to be a most successful
event. The party machinery is well
oiled and everything will be carried
out, per schedule. without hitch. +.
NJ. Haas of this city is slated for cleo
ton as district chairman. This will
be accomplished with "whoop.'
It is quite probable that a resolution
endorsing Charles Warren Fairbanks
candidacy for the republican presiden-
tial nomination will be introduced
Notwithstanding the :act that there
have been reports circulated that the
sixth district republicans are opposed
to Fairbanks, his candidacy will be en-
dorsed by the convention tomorrow in
the event that such resolution is in
trOduced
1t is also rumOred that the Rush
county delegation will introduce A res
olution endorsing Congressman James
f. Watson's candidacy for governor
II is the opinion of M. WAson's local
friends and supporters that such a res
olutiOn would receive an enthusiastic
