An Indianapolis firm is making til ing, which will be used in a saloon in South Hen, for flooring purposes. The tile are especially made to contain $20 gold-pieces; th depression lor their re ception allowing the coin to 6ink one-thirty-second of an inch below the 6ur face, thus avoiding friction. Each gold eagle will be soldered to an ordinary Hoor, thus securing the coin in place. Over !?.'i,000 in gold will be utiiized in the lloor, and the investment is figured out as first class. Time Kor Itrjan. The Philadelphia Times, which sup ported McKinley for president four years ago, has come ont for Hryan. The Times in its editorial columns says: The Times has been unfailingly hos tile to those measure with which Will iam McKinley particularly was iden tied, such as the m "uopoly-breedmg, deficit-producing tan IT that bore his name. Yet, four years ago, in the sudden crisis that divided the councils of the democratic party and for the time being seemed to have checked its great career, it seemed better to The Times, as to many other leading demo cratic papers, to sußfaiu Mr. Mckin ley's election as president rather than that of Mr. Rryan. The decision was made in good faith. The result has shown it to be wrong. It is repented and recanted. All of the evils and the perils of the so-called republican policy have re turned sevenfold, developed and ex tended till the very foundations of the government seem threatened. A false economic system has resulted in vast combines of capital that throttle in dividual industry and hold control over all the functions of the government, and the spokesman of the administra tion, a representative of one of these great trusts, is calling upon his fellow capitalists for contributions to buy another four years' license to rob an other four years' life for their inflated and false prosperity. The government thus controlled has found its fittest expression in schemes of military conquest and the blood and treasure of the nation are poured out to subdue a distant people and rob them of these rights of liberty and in dependence that America has always claimed for all mankind. Imperialist:; and aiili:aasm are the natural outgrowth of commercialism in politics, of the power of the few over the many, the elevation of money over manhood, with all the system of special privileges and corrupt control that the republican party suice the civil war has increasingly fostered. The upholders of this system are them selves aware of its hollowness and ire calling frr aid from the money power to bolster it up for a time longer. The condition is one that the country must meet and meet now, and the way to meet it is by a reassertion of the demo cratic idea and the election of a demo cratic president. The nation is in peril from threatened subversion of the power of the land that is supporting the centralization of capital against the interests of labor; that is debauching our political system by the open collection of millions of money from protected trusts to expend in the national political coiteet, and that has inaugurated a reign of reckless profigacy and extravagance unexam pled in the history of the nation. It must be halted by the people if they would preserve their own government, "of the people, by the people for the people," and it can be done only by the election of William J. Hryan as the next president. lloKpilal for CoiiMiinipt The Indianapolis Flower mission is making an effort to have a hospital for consumptives built. This disease, which is termed by some the "great white death," seems tc be largely on the increase in certain localities, notwith standing the efforts of the most skillful physicians and specialists to hold it in check. Mrs. Lewis Wallace, jr., re cently read a paper before the ilower miseion making a strong plea for the adoption of measures which should as far as possible hold this dread disease in check and at the same time she urged that some provision be made for those who are alllicted with it. Among other things she said, "The state provides for its blind, its deaf and dumb, its luna tics, idiots and its poor, why not for its consumptives?" Whether the project advocated shall prove to be practical or not it is well to call public attention frequently to the dangers of this dis ease, to the end that means of some kind may yet be devised to check its ravages. Itawar of "Itloikn of Fiv.' The republicans are endeavoring to carry Indiana this time on the "blocks of five" plan. The preliminary arrange ments were made in Marshall county when the republican chairman and a few of the faithful were holding their "pink teas" in the country districts. The democrats have kept close tab on these movements and in more than half the precincts and districts have already learned the captains of the various squads who are to be relied upon by the republican leaders to debauch the elec tion. This thing of buying votes and hireing men to stay away from the polls is a dangerous business and what ever may be the looseness of the law, no man will care to be convicted of such a crime. It will be remembered that Kentucky republicans disregarded all law to keep the state offices, but the law overpowered them and some of the politicians, prominent though they were, are now behind prison bars. No man with a spark of principle will listen to such methods, whatever may be his political advantage by resorting to them. Above all things, be men. No republican in the county of Mar shall can alTord to commit a crime for his own benefit much less for the ad vantage of his political party. As a word of warning to republicans of this county who Lave been assigned the dirty work by the leaders, the Inde pendent gives this caution because it would seriously regret to see anyone get into trouble because of over zeal in efforts for party supremecy. FKi IITI Nti IMNK.ISK. Alt i:tVit ' ii Sou tit lt-iil to stamp It Out. The board of education, at South Hend, haa requested the city board of health to employ four persons to carry out a scientific disinfection of all dis tricts infected with diphtheria. When the city schools open, October 15, the bchool board will act upon the sugges tion of Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health. Every school building will then have two pnysicians, and all children with abnormal temperatures will be sent home to await furthur ex aminations. Children who have had diphtheria, or who have come from infected dis tricts, will be refused admission until it is shown that there is no danger from contagion. This examination will be repeated at 6tated intervals, in order to assist in every way in (tamping out the disease. foktim: i okyoum; woman. . I niversity rrofe"or Die and Leave Es tate to Mis Klith Mc-Mattern. Miss Edith McMasters, daughter of George McMasters, a well known resi dent of Ooshen, has received a telegram announcing the death at Delavan, Wis., of Trof. Jerome Wilson, professor of literature at the university of Dutch Flat, Cal. The telegram stated that Frof. Wil son had told the proprietor of the hotel, E. W. Grcnac, tbei he had no relatives and that his will was in favor of Miss McMasters, the estate being valued at between S15,aX) and 820,000. Miss Mc Masters knows nothing concerning the will but has engaged an attorney to investigate. I il Iii- I it mi Ituylag Aft. (Joshen Democrat: William E. Nivison, a wealthy farmer living: near Coldwater, was bunkoed, assaulted and robbed of $5,000 Friday afternoon on one of the public roads leading to Cold water. Nivison says a stranger giving his name ab (iosmer, a banker at Janesville, came to his farm and offered to buy it, providing he could get an adjoining farm with it. Nivi son drove to Coldwater with the man, drew $5,000 from the savings bank and started back to buy the adjoining farm. The couple were met on the road by a third man, who, aided by the alleged banker, knocked Nivison senseless and robbed him of the S2.000. The officers here have received word to be on the lookout for (iosmer and his partner, but descriptions furnished are not ac curate. hle t ion Commltsioner.

Democratic Club Moating. The Democratic club room was not large enough to accommodate all who desired to hear O. II. Heeve, Charles Drummond and Samuel I'arker discuss the issues of the campaign Wednesday. The issues were ably presented by each of the speakers and abundant reasons given why the democrats should suc ceed this fall. Iti Meeting at Culver. Atty. Samuel I'arker opened the cam paign at Culver Tuesday night. He ad dressed about 100 people at the assem bly tabernacle for an hour and twenty minutes. The democratic side of the argument was ably presented and was well received by all. I.apaz ltimt. W. F. llostetler, Roland Logan, Misses Koea Miller and llattie Furge- eon are our teachers here. I).

State Geologist IJIatchley, who epect this week looking for marl deposits in Steuben county, sayB the people of northern Indiana are making a mistake in draining so many of their lakes. It is his opinion that the lakes are ot more benefit than the farm land will be. The lakes belong to the govern ment usuallv, but as tbev become shal lower the shore land becomes the prop erty of the adjoining land owner. Mr. Blatcbley does not know whether there is a law, but thinks there should be one, to prevent the destruction of lake6. Want I'reacliem to Help. The board of state charities most re spectfully invites the co-operation of the christian ministers of our state in the work of prison reform. Such an excellent start was made last year that we hope you will be pleased to aid in further advancing the work this year. One of the greatest works in the world is reforming men. The most practical demonstration ot this is being shown by the reformatory prisons. The results are surprising. We, in Indiana, are beginning to share in this good work. Our people should know more of it. The following resolution, adopted by the national conference of charities and correction, expresses its hope: Resolved, That this conference strongly urge upon the christian minis ters of the nation the importance of their consideration of the subject of prisoners and prison reforms, and atks them to unite in setting 86ide the last Sunday in October of each year as "Prison Sunday" and preaching an ap propriate sermon on tr.e occasion. Upon application to this board we shall be pleased to provide literature that will be of service to ministers in preparing appropriate discourses. It deals with the work of prisons, reform school, work houses, reformatory methods, aid to discharge prisoners, prevention of crime, etc. You are earnestly invited to join, on Sunday, Oct. 28, with many thousand churches throughout the land in calling the attention of christian people to the many and grave questions at issue.

Michael Speishoffer enjoyed a good dinner yesterday at the expenre of Hill & Son. One of the clerks at the bakery made a mistake in handling an order and it was on account of this mistake that Mike had such good luck. Charles Shadel, the druggist, ordered his dinner delivered to the store. The clerk at Hill's delivered the dinner in the rear of the Speishoffer building instead of the drug store as was intended. Mike happened to be seated at the table when the dinner arrived and thinking that Mr. Hill wanted to treat him real nice proceeded to devour the dinner. Later Shadel sent word that his dinner had not arrived and the mistake was discovered. It is needless to state that all appreciated the blunder, especially Mr. Speishoffer, as he insists that there is no such pleasure as getting a square meal at the expense of Wm. Hill. Death of Mr. Smeltz. Mrs. Anna Smeltz, wife of Frank Smeltz, died Wednesday after an ill ness of several months. Anna Beagles, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beagles, was born Jone 13, 1870. August 23, 1888, she was united in marriage to Frank R Smeltz.

The funeral will be held t the Bliss ville church, live miles west of town Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Many Young: Democrat There. It was noticable that the delegates to the Democratic club convention were mostly young men, many of whom have seldom been at the state convention. The bringing cf these young men to Indianapolis can not but yave splendid effect upon the party organizition.
