Indianapolis. Ind. Dee. 1.-Since Carl
Riddick. of Winamac, has announced
that he will not be Il candidate for the
republican nomination for secretary OF
state. a new candidate has been tossed
into the arena, whether he wishes 10
get in or not. He is Jesse Overstrect
former congressman from the Seventh
Indiana district. Overstreet was de-
feated year ago for reelection by
Charles c. korbly, the present Demo
cratic congressman. Overstreet went
down under the avalanche which car
ried down several other republicans in
republican districts. He was a mem
Der of Congress for fourteen years. and
when he retired he was made chairman
Of the committee on postoffices and
post roads. one OF the most important
committees of congress. 1t was he
who built up the great system of rura,
mail delivery. While he was a mem.
Der and also chairman of that COM
mittee, he saw the expense of main
tanning rural free delivery increase
from $4,000 a year. to more than $50.
0OO.CoO year. until free delivery SER
vice was planted in every state and ter.
ritory in the union.
He Has Opposition.
But he went down with the rest last
year. There has been talk of nominal
ing him again for congress, but con-
siderable opposition has developed and
several other candidates are mention
ed who will probably run against him
If he seeks the nomination.
Will H. Craig of Noblesville, one of
the best known republican editors in
Indiana, has brought Overstreets
name into the race for secretary Of
state. Craig believes he would make
an ideal secretary, and that he would
make such good record in that office
that the people would want him to run
for governor at the expiration of his
time in that office. Overstreet is now
member of the national monetary
commission. which pays him $3.50 a
year. and it is regarded here extreme
ly doubtful if he will be willing to give
up that place to run for secretary Of
state or to serve if elected. There
are many of his friends who believe
that there is a more important place
| for Overstreet and they are not encour-
aging him to run for the nomination.

ASKED TO Be SHOWN

"Wait until l hear the evidence"
stated Thomas Upton when arraigned
in the city court this afternoon and
asked whether he were guilty or not
guilty of public intoxication as charg-
ed in the affidavit. The evidence was
heard and Upton promptly declared
that he was guilty. A fine of 81 and
costs was assessed by Special Judge
Freeman who gave the man his choice
of getting out of town or going down
to Jail. Upton. who is 20 years of
age, said he had no place to go and
would rather be locked up for IL days.

THE PRINCESS SLIP.

but Very Useful.
One piece combination undergar-
ments may not be novel. but they are
ment. when the slender effect is the
goal after which every woman is striv-
ing. for any extra material beneath the
carefully fitted gown is likely to spoil
the otherwise perfect effect. Many
women have been inclined to regard
the princess slip or foundation dress
as somewhat of a needless extrava-
gance. but the exisencies Of prevail
ing fashion have made them readjust
their ideas on this subject.
The woman, therefore. who wishes
to obtain the best results in her dress
ing will 6nd this garment OF no small
importance and a matter of such con-
venience that. once worn. she will not
be able to do without 1t. The useful.
ness of this princess slip Is to avoid
the fullness aud gathers which occur
at the waist when u separate skirt and
camisole are worn and to ciothe the
hips without any unnecessary mate
rial. The bottom OF the skirt may be
full. but the top must be gored out
until the garment fits perfectly.
The model pictured here is carefully
shaped to the figure by seams both
back and front. aud the opening. which
comes at the back. must be fastened
with snaps. hooks or buttons. Ii the
latter method is adopted. be careful to
have small buttons and buttouhoies.
1t Is unnecessary to have large but
