Presidential Possibilities.

Neither of the two great parties will
lack Presidential candidates in the
election which is to take place two
years hence. The great States OF
Ohio and New York each have more
tina one candidate for both parties.
Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, is a strong
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation, ard has materially gained in
popularity Stree his election as Gov
ernor. AS u lawyer If great exper-
iercc ard member Of the Cleve-
high executive office in one of the
first States CT the Union he has all
the qualifications of preparation
ard experience. There is perhaps
no Democrat in Ohio who will effec-
lively rival or oppose him, but be-
sides President Taft, there are Gar
field and Burton and Others who
measure up to Presidential require
ments. In New York the Democrats
have the New York Mayor Gaynor,
while the Republicans have an ex-
President eligible for two more
terms and Republican Governor who
has attracted to his support all that is
worth saving in the Republican par

other distinguished men who measure

worldwide cause could account for

trusts to raise prices IN America

not be charged to an increase in the

But let us rejoice that the Presi-
dent has been forced to confess the

more money as the only means OF
checking falling prices and restoring

Busy Time for Court Matters.

The OwensborO Messenger says:
The court officials will have a very
strenuous time this summer, as in
addition to the regular terms OF
court, which will be heidi there are
now two special terms announced for
the heated season. The first term
will be held In July, when the cases
against Joe L. BlandfoTd, which
were passed at this term of court,
because Of the physical inability Of
Capt. w. T. Ellis, attorney for the
defendant, to conduct the case, will
be tried. The other term will be held
in August, at which term Judge Birk-
head will doubtless empanel a special
grad jury, which will investigate
any cases that may be brought be-
fore it, and also the charges against
any persons who may be incarcerated
in the Jail awaiting the grand jury's
investigation, which would not reg
ularly be held till next November.
In addition to the cases that may
come up there are a great number
4 cases that have been passed and
continued by the court, because of
the inability of the accused or Of
some of the witnesses to appear.

Lake, Ind, with his father in the
timber business. For a brief period
he was clerk for A. r. Renfrow &

dee, and later held like position
with the Economy Dry Goods Store
in Hartford. In the early part of the
year 1904 he entered the Spencerian
