Indiana Fighting Ground.

1t is much too soon for anyone but
the cocksure partisan to make any
forecast of the result of the election
in the West. The campaign has hard
ly opened. Set anyone down who
tells you with confidence what the
West is surely going to do as taking
counsel of his hopes, and not speak
ing from any adequate basis of facts.
The most it is safe to say about In
diana is, that it is fighting ground for
both parties, that the leaders of both,
privately, are by no means confident;
that both propose to fight for all there
is in them, that the Democrats particu-
larly are better united and are more
hopeful and enthusiastic than before
in years.
The Gold Democrats are practically
all back in line. The long predomi-
nance of Republicans in State and
local Office has resulted in many scan
dals, which will doubtless have an eff
feet on the voting, but altogether 1T
is either party's victory as things look
today.

Iowa Split To Benefit Bryan.

Bryan will benefit in Iowa from
Republican division The reactionary
sentiment among Republicans causes
many to believe Taft will not be per-
mitted to GO ahead. The leading
negroes are for Bryan.
Union labor will be for Bryan
Bryan is personally popular at this
time. 1t is idle to claim Iowa Repub-
lican by more than a comfortable
margin If there is an open split over
the Allison succession Iowa may be
classed among the States the Demo
Gratis will fight for.

Coulter & Clark's dog and pony show
came in early Sunday morning and
gave two performances in this city
Monday having good attendance at
both afternoon and evening exhibitions.
1t is one of the cleanest and best
little pony shows we ever saw and MIR.
Clark is surely a wonder in training
dogs and ponies. The work of Sparkle,
a little pony who could do everything
except talk was alone worth the admis-
sion price. So we'll pleased we're those
who witnessed the performance that
the Commercial Club made an effort to
have them return to Leon and give an
exhibition on July Fourth. If their
route can be changed in time they will
return and will give the committee q
definite reply before our next paper is
issued. They could play to the capacity
of their tents if they should return at
that time.

Monday forenoon. He was driving a
pair of fine colts owned by Trav. Lane,
of Woodland, who sent them to Leon to
be broke, and meeting an auto they be-
came frightened and ran up on the brick
walk in front Of G. F. Wright's resi-
dence on south Main street. They kept
on the walk for more than block and
then Ward guided them out in the
street and they went down the depot
hill at a terrific pace. At the foot of
the hill they turned to go around the
stockyards and Mr.. Potts was thrown
out, but escaped injury. The colts then
started for Woodland but were caught
going up the hill on @ street. The
horses and wagon were not injured.

fun; but when it happens to be your
