TINES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL

Indiana polls. Ind, Sept 13.-It is es
timated by the various state head
quarters of the political parties that
up to this time probably 20 to rs per
cent of the voters of Indiana have
registered and are therefore eligible
to vote at the November election. This
laves from twenty-five TO thirty per
cent vet to be registered. and 1t is
garded as doubtful whether many more
of them win register
Which party viii be the loser in this
failure of such a large number to regis
ter is still a question that cannot be
solved until after the polls have been
taken by the various parties and the
figures have been compiled. However
1t Is said that in most places the loss
up to this time is about evenly divided
and that about as many democrats have
failed to register as republicans and
bull moose
1t IS d fact that in this city the loss
is about equal. In the heavy demo-
cratic wards. populated largely by vot-
ers of foreign birth. there is a large
shortage in the democratic registra-
ton. while in heavy republican wards.
some Of which are populated largely
win negroes, the FepuDNcan toSS is
large
It is believed. however. that a large
per cent of the colored voters will
register at the October registration
date, and that the republicans will
therefore not suffer as great a shortage
as IS now indicated On the other
hand. there is a stubborn opposition
among the foreign voters TO registra-
~
the democrats at the election unless
they are able TO overcome II, which at
this time seems to be improbable
The taking of the poll over the state
has developed some humorous incidents.
For instance, the bull moose have been
spreading the story that their poll OF
Crawford county, in the south end of
the state, shows 900 republicans that
are going to vote for Roosevelt The
fact Is that Crawford is a small coun-
ty and that there have never been more
than 200 republican votes cast in the
county. Just how the bull moose ex-
pect TO get 900 OF the 700 to vote their
ticket is a serious problem that would
require a Philadelphia lawyer 10 figure
out
The disaffection smong the repuh-
fican farmers also has been largely
magnifed and exaggerated. according
to reports that are coming in 1t is
evident that the number of republican

Centenary of Moscow Campaign.

One hundred years ago Napoleon set
out on his campaign to Moscow, and
it is perhaps only natural that Moscow
and Russia generally should be eager
to celebrate the centenary of a cam
paign which was so disastrous to the
invaders. Already preparations are
being made in Moscow to open the
1872 museum, and an immense number
of objects relating to the campaign
have been collected. The centenary
has already been celebrated by a con-
cert, which revived the marches and
military airs Of both armies, and some
OF these, according to the Debats, are
most interesting and curious. More
interesting still, as likely to recall the
events Of that year, will be the visits
that are to be paid to the battlefie4ds
and the ceremonies that are to take
place there.

SHE PICKED THE WRONG MAN
Woman With Prominent Jaw Did Not
Get the Seat She So Evil
IDENTIFY Desired.

She had a jaw that somehow re-
minded one of the cowcatcher on To-
comotive-perhaps because it was al
ways somewhat in advance of her
countenance Also there was a look
of determination in her eyes, and it
was evident, from the manner in
which she elbowed other passengers
aside, that she had no desire to be re-
garded as a shrinking violet. Yet she
was rather good looking, and she was
dressed in such manner as to indi-
cate that she was free from the ne
cessity of practicing economy. After
she had fought her way into the car
she looked at the men who were &C.
cupying seats and then stationed her
self in front of a smallish, gray-haired
gentleman whose expression was kind
and even lamblike.
The woman engaged his attention
by kicking his toes. He curled his feet
back under the seat and continued to
read his paper. Then she "hemmed"
loudly and bumped against his knees.
He looked up at her, INDUCED in a
sigh Of WEAKNESS and tried to make
room for her by crowding closely to
the woman who sat at the left of him.
She declined to bulge, however, and
the old gentleman again turned his
attention to his paper.
Exasperated by such ungallant be-
havior on his part, the woman with
the decisive jaw said in tones that in
no wise suggested the haunting mel
ody of tinkling brook:
81 suppose I'll have to stand all the
way home. I've heard of men who
had the decency to get up when the
cars were crowded, but I guess they're
all dead"
Madam" the little old gentleman
mildly remarked, 81 would give you
my seat, but I'm saving it for a lady"

is ALWAYS SOME CELEBRITY
Nobody Ever Recalls That in Previous
Incarnation He Was Hum
BILE Person.

DR.. Julia Sears, head of the New
Thought School, says: There are
enough people on the planet today who
remember one or more Of their incar-
nations to make it certainty that re-
incarnation is positive fact"
All right, doctor; We'll add this to
our list of positive facts, which is al
ready become somewhat unwieldly.
Still, there is question which has been
puzzling us a good while, and we now
make bold to ask: Why is it that,
among all those people who remem-
Der one or more Of their incarnations,
not one can remember being an hod
carrier, an undertaker's assistant, or
an office boy in soap factory? There
is strong tendency to run toward
royal families, court musicians, and
philosophers. Two or three persons
can distinctly remember having been
Joan of Arc, and the number of rein
carnated Napoleons and Louis Four
teenths is growing all the time. But
the man we are anxious to meet is
the chap who can remember with
pleasure his incarnation as the
brawny white wings" who pushed tn
scoop around the arena of the Roman
Coliseum after the show was over and
the animals retired, or the employe of
the Imperial Health Department
whose duty it was to descend into the
Cloaca Maxima when it got clogged.
Another New Thought which comes
at this moment is in connection with
the statement of DR.. Sears that she
was the Italian singer Marsha 400
years ago, was bitterly discontinued,
and now she longs to sing and cannot.
There's matter for rumination In this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the
young woman in the apartment ad-
joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing, or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, is because she had a sweet
pipe several hundred years ago and
didn't make the most of it.-Puck.

talked with the Editor of the Ander-

charged in an editorial in his paper. a

was nothing but "frame upland the
man who wrote it was Mr.Lillard Car
ter, ''wet man," and he informed
me that Mr.. Carter has admitted that
he wrote the letter althO Mahan sign
ed same. He also told me i'm the same
conversation that it is the absolute
truth that Mr.. Mahan has admitted
that he Is a wet man. and would
vote that way. Mr.. Helm has evident
ly tried to deceive the temperance
people of his District by trying to
create the impression that the answer
to my letter came from temperance
source, the writer being an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, but it turns out
that he, Mr.. Mahan is wet man."

Mr.. John w. Flowers,
Columbia, Ky.
Dear Sir
Your letter addressed to the pastor
OF the Presbyterian church has been
handed to me for answer. We are
WITHOUT a pastor now, but since | am
an Elder OF the church, L trust that |
may be able to correct the false in
formation that you have received.
In Anderson county the people are
nearly equally divided OH the temper
ance question that is, about half are
wet and half are dry.
Both sides, with singular unanim-
lty, are supporting Mr.. Helm. | eS-
innate that out of a democratic vote
OF about fifteen hundred, Mr.. Sulli-
van would receive not exceeding one
hundred or one hundred and fifty
votes in this county, if the vote were
taken today. Helms supporters are
drawn from both sides and the liquor
question is cutting no figure in the
contest.
Sulliyan'S leader in the county is

this district, and himself a diStiller,

Mr.. Booth, superintendent of one
OF the plants of the Kentucky Dis
tillerieS & Warehouse Co., and a

Mr.. Helm, | am told, but he is not
managing Helms campaign, and is
him rather lukewarmIy.
In fact everybody here is for Helm
with regard to race, color or previous
condition or Servitude. The question
You raise has occurred to no one here.
Helm has made an excellent impress
ion on our people personally, and OIL
eially has been Of real use. Among
other things, he has caused an appro-
priatiOn to be made for public build
ing thing that we had SOughti in vain
for years.
= Do not understand me to be one Of
Helms rank partiSanS. l am merely
writing you the truth as | know it.
Our temperance people seem through
ly satisfied with Mr.. Helm. 1t ap-
pears to rs that if he is to be beaten
it should be on some other ground
than any thing we have heard or
know in this connection. He appears
right on The bill pending i'm Congress-
