dent J. j. Wait of the Merchants

what Mr. Wait said after the meeting.
there seems little doubt tina he COM
pany will secure dockage and open up
an expresage and freigh business, to
handle les than carload lots. Service

that has ever been enjoyed by the Twin
cities in the past, is promised and the

Mr.. Wait expressed himself so greatly
encourag ed over the outlook In his
talk he dwelt upon the necessity of tn ?
city securing ample dockage for its
needs in the future. He declared that
what was needed here was not only
docks for the receiving of freight, but
for the accommodation of passenger
boats. He said Michigan City had
thousands Oh people Visit 1t almost
every day in the summer brought there
| by excursion steamships. While the
class of people who patroniz5 these ex-
cursions are not usually extensive
spenders, almost everybody who visits
city under these circumstances
spends little an dhe declared thai
every ten passengers were worth to :
city more than ton of freight.

Judge Walter J. Riley gave some in
! teresting figures to what this
amount of business in less than car
load lots which the Lighterage com
pany could expect, and he Shove,
twhere it would be greatly to the al
vantage of a company of the kind Mr.
Wait represented, TO locate here. J. Z
Thropp also spoke in favor of tn
proposition. Everybody present seem
ed of the opinion that a better expires
service is needed here and that IL
company prepared to provide it wa
located here it would be of benefit t
the merchants and a paying PROPOSE
tion to the concern SO loca ting.
Captain Jones, who accompanied Nj
Wait declared that the boat whic
was now being built for the company
equipped as it was with a steel prov

cutting its way through the ice, if thi
were necessary. He said there had no

STATE WIDE INTEREST
IN TEMPERANCE MEETING

According to reports received In th-
asst day or two large delegations are
coming to this meeting from many Of
the counties of the state.
Big Tenth Delegation.
1t is said that trainload will come
from Tenth district counties on the
Monon railroad and that other special
trains will bring large crowds in from
other places. Interurban railroads
have been asked to put on many addi-
tional cars for that day. I<okomo. /.
is said. will send not less than zoe,
while several other cities also have
sent word that they will have iarg
crowds. In Grant county arrange
ments have been made to hold
primaries to select the delegates THAI
will come from that county to the
meeting. This shows the degree o.
interest which IS being taken in the
melting in various parts Of the state
The full list of speakers has not ye'
been announced, but it will include
both Republica-< and Demoer-.-.
Stot~enburg In Race.
Word has been brought TO this city
that senator f. 3. Stotsenburg,. of New
Albany is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor He was talked of for the
nomination for Governor some Tins
ago, and Senator Steve Fleming o.
Fort Wayne tried to get him into thf
race. but the effort failed Stotsenbura
decided to not be candidate for gov
ernor. The announcement that he is IL
the race for lieutenant governor wa
made here by a New Albany Democra
who said Stotsenburg told him he wa
| a candidate. 1t is the belief or some
| here that this may help Samuel M
Ralston to land the nomination 70
Governor. Ralston is from the centra
| part of the state. Congressma,
Boehne, his opponent for the nomina
ito nfor Governor. is from Evansville
in the extreme southwest part of tn
Estate. while Stotsenburg is from tn
Ohio river line. 1t would not pc rea
soma BILE to suppose the Democrat
would nominate Boehne for Governo
and Stotsenburg for lieutenant COVER
nor, because both are southern Indian
candidates. If Ralston is nominate
iStotsenburg might stand a chance. Bu
with Boehne he would not.
Stotsenburg IS strong man and Wi
be likely to give hard fight to ella
Metsker. of Plymouth. and w. I
lO'Neill. of Mishawaka, both OF wnof
are out for the place.

TINES BUREA.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 1.-Much in
terest is taken III the state wide meet
ing which will be held here next Tues
day by the temperance people of the
state. the object OF which is to outline
a plan to be followed in the coming
state campaign. One of the interesting
developments is the fact that Hugh TIL.
Miller. of Columbus, has been selected
as the Republican to preside al the
Afternoon meeting. a Democrat will
preside al the evening session, but his
name has not yet been announced.
Liquor An Tissue.
The announcement that Miller has
accepted the honor of presiding at the
meeting has given rise to much specu-
lation as to the effect it will have on
his chances to land the Republican
nomination for Governor which to this
time has appeared to be practically
within his grasp. There is such a large
element of Republicans that do not
want to get the liquor question tangie;
up with the coming campaign that it
is hard to tell Just how they will take
TO Miller's action in this regard. There
! is no longer any question. however,
about the liquor question being the
Invest question before the two old
parties in this state today. and some of
Miller's friends are saying that Miller
will not lose anything by taking part
in this state wide temperance meeting,
because the Republican party will be
forced to make a declaration on the
temperance issue at its state conyen-
| ton. However, this may be, there is a
| fear the part of some that Miller
will lessen his chances to land the
nomination by his activity along this
line Miller, however. is thoroughly
independent He feels that he is do
ing right by taking hand in the fgh'
for temperance, and he is just the kind
of man that will go ahead and do wha'
he believes is right. no matter whether
anyone else like sit or not
To Ask for County Option.
One of the matters that will come
before the meeting will be the .ncorse-
nent of a plank declaring in favor Of
the re-enactment of the county option
law. This much is said to be certain
But the meeting may even go father
and declare in favor of state wide pro
hibition. At least it is said that thi.
Iquestion will be presented to the mees
lng. and that it will be given considera
ton.

Cracksmen blew the vault of the
Monroe State Bank at Monroe, Adams
county. thirty miles south of Fl
Wayne, early Wednesday, but werc
driven off before they had succeeded
in penetrating the safe. Half dozen
men were in the gang, and it is be-
lieved they escaped by boarding a
northbound freight train on the Grand
Rapids & Indiana railroad. The Ft.
Wayne police were notified, and are
keeping a sharp lookout for the burg
lars.
The charge of nitroglycerin. which
blew the door off the fireproof vault,
awakened many of the ctienzs. among
them Town Marshal Martz. They ran
to the bank and the yeggmen took to
their heels, covering their retreat by a
rapid fire. Martz fired several Shots
but none seemed to take effect

this morningthat few papers were
missing, but they could not tell which
