Whether the bloodhounds brought

murderer of Miss Blackstone material
~ aided the police or not. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that 1t would be
advantageous to have two of these

OF the police equipment. The cost of
their purchase and maintenance would
not be great. and In some cases they
might prove invaluable. Had it been
possible to put bloodhounds immedi-
ately on the scent of this murderer II Is
not improbable that his capture would
have resulted. AS 1t was. many per

Caleb Powers in Politics Again
Man, -Four Times Tried in Connection With Murder Of Gov
ernor Goebe, Wants to Be Member Of Congress.

Louisville, KY. April 13.-If Caleb
Powers, of Knox county, Ky, is elect
ed to the next congress, the national
lawmaking body will have a brand
new headliner.
Reports that come from the noun
tains. where Mr.. Powers political ac-
tivities are now the subject OF much
comment, agree that he stands more
than an even show to do this thing.
Caleb Powers was the young noun
tain lawyer who was elected Secretary
OF State on the ticket with W. s. Tay-
lor. who, on the face of the returns,
defeated William Goebel for governor
in November. 1890.
Goebel, who was contesting Taylor's
election, was wounded by shot from
Powers office, in the old Capitol at
Frankfort, on January 50. 1900 Two
days later Goebel was declared COVER
nor by the general assembly, but died
February ,, without being inaugurat-
ed
Powers was charged with completely

was convicted three times and the 9TH
err trial resulted in a hung jury He
was once sentenced to be hanged and
to life Imprisonment twice On June.
IA. zoos, he was pardoned by the pres
emit republican governor, A. E. Will
SON.
Powers is now making contest for
the seat held by Don G.. Edwards as
representative of the Eleventh con-
gressional district. His platform is
chiefly his martyrdom for his party
in it's efforts to hold Kentucky. His
opponent, Mr.. Edwards, would doubt
less admit that in the counties COM
posing the district this is a mighty
taking platform. The normal repub-
lican majority in this district is about
twenty thousand.
The keynote to the Powers campaign
is sounded in sentiment expressed in
letter addressed in his interest to
republicans of the district by former
Governor Taylor, who left the state
after the assassination of Goebel, and
has since resided in Indianapolis. This
reads:

Fishina for Fun.

From the New York World.
II there be time for everything
this Is the time for fishing not fish
ing for the market. but fishing for fun.
To most men fishing means hard work
with a seine or dull work with hook
and line. Fishing for sport is done
with rod and reel. The ice is out
of the northern lakes and streams, but
their waters are cold and clear. Fish
that live In them are firm. quick, pug
nacious and, in their way. intelligent.
The man who gets few Of them must
know where they live. understand
their habits. possess an outfit of ap-
proved fitness and be expert in its use
Angling In warm waters for lazy and
Indifferent fish, weary man can hard
ly forget business cares, for there is
not enough excitement to occupy his
mind. Operating In northern lake
or brook in early spring, with the as
sistance Of a good guide. his mind is
intent only upon fish. There are no
anxieties OF trade. no professional per-
plexities, no social or domestic worri-
ments. no troubles of any kind, for a
man In whose eyes the fishing sun
light is reflected and In whose ears the
reel Is ringing.

ton are to the effect that sharp con-
test is on among the four superinten-
dents as to which one shall have the
honor in the event the consolidation
of the four cities goes through.
The school enumeration OF the four
cities named, which began this week
under the direction of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, is
expected to show the population of
the four cities to be between $4,000
and 100000. with enough school chill

school enumeration, q place long held
by Evansville, now represented on the
board by F. w. Cooley, superintendent
of the Evansville schools. The per.
sonnet of three members of the state
board of education is determined by
the rank of the three largest cities In
the state in point of school enumer-
alton. and up to this time these three
places have been held by Indianapolis.
Evansville and Fort Wayne. In the
event the courts hold the Gary-Ham-

ton valid. Evansville will move to
third place. with Fort Wayne crowded
out entirely.
Evansville Third.
Evansville is safe for third place,
even if the Lake county annexation
scheme holds, but even at that Ev-
ansville's member OF the state board
will be changed, when ]. H. Tomlin,
of Terre Haute, succeeds Superinten-
dent Cooley. In the event the Lake
county kidnapping" does not hold
good, however. Terre Haute may yet
find a place on the board. The mar
velous growth of that city has made
it close competitor with TT. Wayne
for the place. and 1t is believed that
the two cities will again have to fight
1t out for supremacy In point Of popu-
latiOn and enumeration.
A more careful enumeration is be-
ing taken this year than ever before,

May Run Lnsurgent in Tenth District
1t Is Rumored That CrumpackeI

palladium Specially
Indianapolis. April 1s.-Consider-
able interest was aroused here yester-
day by the publication of the story
that there was talk of an insurgent
candidate for congress being nomin-
ated by republicans of the Tenth dis
trict to run against Congressman
Crumpacker. The novelty of the sug-
gestion was what attracted attention,
for none of the local republicans took
much stock in the plan. No one was
found that was willing to say that the
scheme would accomplish anything or
that it was likely to. go through.
Those republicans who were asked
about it did not believe the plan
would amount to anything and they
did not hesitate to say that it was i'll
advised. Some of the republicans
talked to about 1t were insurgents.
1t is not denied that there is a
strong insurgent sentiment in the
Tenth district, as was shown at the
time of the Tenth district convention.
But as far as is known there is no dis
position on the part of any consider
able number of republicans in that
district to make any fight against
CrumDacker.
Knots Was the Man.
A. F. Knots, of Hammond, was the
man from the Tenth district who was
asked about the report that such a
movement was on foot in that part of
the state, and he admitted that there
was such sentiment in existence. 1t
1t had been learned that Knots him
self. was considering the idea of be-
coming the insurgent candidate, but
when he was asked about the matter
he declined to discuss it.

brance, when he left the state and his
party at critical time. and refused to
return and defend himself in the
courts or his party on the platform,
although he was offered . full pardon
for any offence charged against him In
connection with the Goebel murder
and immunity from arrest and prose-
cution.
It is urged against Powers that he
also fled after the Goehel tragedy and
was arrested at Lexington with . par
don signed by Governor Taylor in his
pocket. 1t is further charged that in
prison and out he has consistently
turned his talents into commercial
channels. even going SO tar as to
charge his party $500 for campaign
speeches since his pardon and release.
Republican leaders contend that
Representative Edwards, whom he
seeks to defeat. has made q good rec
ord and should be returned.
Notwithstanding this. Powers Is
waging a campaign that is making his
opponents exceedingly uncomfortable.
He Is from the mountains and OF the
and no one knows better
than he what will appeal to the noun
tain sympathies or win the votes Of
mountain people. He Is q man of In
tellectual ability and an effective
stump speaker. Edwards has come
home from Washington to fight for re-
nomination. and 1t is safe to predict
that from now on Kentucky will wit
ness one of the most picturesque polit-
ical battles in its history.

former resident Of Richmond, at Day.

ceased dropped dead from an attack of
heart trouble while assisting in the re-

left Richmond about twenty-three

The new socialist mayor of Mil
waukee, Emil Seidel, Is not the first to
see visions and dream dreams of an
ideal commonwealth. OF the troub-
lOus century of Plato. when that great
philosopher described his ideal munic-
ipality, 1t has been said: "The philoso-
pher whose lot was cast In fourth CEN
fury Athens could exercise active citi-
enship only in the city of ideal, of
which pattern is laid up in heaven
the city of God of later Graceo-R Roman
and early Christian idealism.' st.
Augustine discOursed with pure and ell
oquent passion concerning the "Civit-
as Dei.- and 1t was this model which
Sir Thomas More kept ever before his
minds eye in writing his Utopia"
Mayor Seidel, In what was virtually his
inaugural address, did not present any
prosaic and practical constructive
program of civic improvement. He
talked about making place where
there should be no room for tears and
heartaches, place where the strong
should give protection and shelter to
the weak, finally saying that the task
OF every citizen was to realize the
dreams Of the great men of the past.
Idealism Of this exalted type does no
harm II 1t does not content itself with
merely pointing out all that Is delight
full and desirable. If Mayor Seidel's
roseate prospectus means that he is go
ing to pave and light the city proper
ly, make the street cleaning depart
ment do It's duty, and select efficient
firemen and policemen without con-
sulting politicians, he will do much to
bring true his dream Of what Milwau-.
kee ought to be.
