Mr. Bryan's sarcastic harmony sptejbes are giving democratic papers and democratic leaders a good deal of anxiety, but those who kicked when he was a candidate are not in a position to say very much about his dis loyalty to the democratic party. A good bank statement in New York means that the men who bet upon the prices of stocks may con tinue the game a little more freely for a season, the prices ranging up and down according to the supply of money and the rate for call loans. In twenty-five working days the United States mint at Phi?adelphla coined 2,500.000 silver pesos, the size cf a dollar, for the Philippines, to gether with 100.000 bronze pieces and 3,600,000 nickels, also for the islands Uncle bam loses no time in living up to the new geographical requirements. The whitecapping outrage which occurred near Blooming ton, Ind., Saturday night, was disgraceful to the participants and indefensible from any point of view. If the victims were, violating any law, they should have been proceeded against in a law ful manner. Whitecapping is as in defensible as lynching. Gen. James N. Tyner's old place in the ptßtofflce department was temporally tilled Monday by the assignment of Charles II. Robb, from the department of justice to look after the work pending a conclusion of the postofflce department investigation. Mr. Robb is a Vermonter and a very competent man. The Mormons are baying a bard run of luck. In addition to being expelled from Germany an American court has decided that the "sealing for life and eternity" of the Mormon church is a common law marriage, and that a husband is J iabie ror the torts of his common law wife, even though she holds her property separately." Major George E. Finney says in the Martinsville Democrat: 'The politicians are against Roosevelt, but the people cf the republican faith appear to be for him; therefore, says the papers, he will be the nominee. The politicians seem to bt for Cleveland, tut the people are against him; therefore well, work it out by analogy." The laws of 1903 are now in full force and effect. All Indiana municipal bonds issued since April 23, when the governors proclamation was issued, are exempt from taxation iu this state. Municipal bonds issued before April 23 are taxable. The term "municipal bonds" as used in the act includes all classes of county, city and town bonds, and covers not only what are termeü straight county and city bonds or counties and street improvement bonds issued by cities and towns. The little republic of Cuba is in a peculiarly favorable condition. She has had good luck during her eleven months of life as an Independent government. She can look forward to annexation to the United States whenever she 'gives the word. This combination of happy circustances ought to satisfy the most fastidious of her citizens. Not every new country starts out under such auspicious circumstances. There is good reason to believe that these things are hav ing a pleasing effect on the minds of ber thoughtful citizens. Medical men generally have reported a universal prevalence of pneumonia during the last month and an exceptionally large number of deaths. The cause assigned is the abnormally cold weather and frequent changes. In Chicago there were 163 deaths from pneumonia last week as compared with 101 during the corresponding week last year. The bu'Jetin of the healtn department says: Similar conditions are general elsewhere, both In this country and abroad. Pneumonia is more prevalent and more fatal in England and on the continent thau In many yccrrT and the came is true of influenza."

Missouri is without a lieutenant

governor on account of too much boo dle. Too much money seems to be bad for Missouri law makers. According to program, Russia pro ceeds to throw a different light on the Manchurian affair, but this will probably be another one of the cases where actions speak louder than .words. Members of the original steel trust syndicate, haying made 200 per cent, on their original investments, are pretty well convinced that all this talk about the evils of trusts is a mistake. Gen. James 'TS, Tyner's physical condition is quite serious. The great strain incident to his summary removal from office for aiding and abetting in the rifling of a government safe has completely undermined his health, which was already wretched. The revised confession of faith of the Presbyterian church is now assured, through the ratification by over two-thirds of the Presbyteries of the country of the action of the last general assembly of the church in submitting the matter to the vote of the Presbyteries. The Declaration of Independence was placed ina vault last Saturday and the original copy will be exposed to view no more. This was necessary to preserve the document; The ink which the signers used has faded until scarcely a name can be read, but the text is still legible. The United States supreme court declines to Interfere in the case of a colored man named Giles, of Alabama, who was denied the privilege of regis tering as a voter under the new con stitution of that state. The relief sought was denied on the ground that the case was political. James N. Tyner, former Assistant Attorney-General for the Poslofflce Department, may be prosecuted for the action of bis wife in rifling the government safe and abstracting pub lic letters and documents. Postmaster General Payne has transmitted to Attorney-General Knox a letter strongly recnmmenmnir that the matter he re ferred to the United States district attorney with instructions to submit the case to the grand jury. The prompt action of the Governor relative to the latest wbitecap out rage in Monroe county is highly commendable. Iiis telegram to the sher iff and his letters to county officials and the President of the State Univ ersity warning the people of Monroe county tnat ne win recommend the removal of the university unless they put a stop to lawlessness in the county has the right ring and will probably put a stop to such outrages. Hugh H. Hanna, of Indianapolis, and the other members of the mone tary commission appointed to try to reach an agreement for an adjustment of the financial relations between the gold and silver-using countries of the world will sail from New York on May 19 on the steamer Kalser-Wil helm der Grosse. The party has added The Hague to the, list cf Euro pean capitals which it will visit. This list also includes London, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg. It is a matter of newspaper history that Senator A. J. Beveridge, of In diana, who visited Manchuria two years ago, in a series of articles published soon after, foreshadowed the situation in that country as to Rus sia's attitude and evident intention almost exactly as it has proven to be by the development of affairs. That Indiana's junior senator is a close stu dent of governmental affairs Is thus emphasized. Senator- Beveridge thinks Russia means to occupy Man cburla permanently, but thinks it Is a matter of Indifference to us as long'as her ports are kept open to our goods. Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, In discussing Senator Manna's position on the labor question declares that the senator is sincere in his convic tions and is not a demagogue. He says Mr. Hanna has nothing to make by his voluntary assumption of this position. He is the idol of the work ingmen of Ohio and will receive their earnest and unanimous support for re election. He will not be a candidate for the presidency and will support, with all his great genius of organiza tion, the republican party in the cam paignof 1904. He Is the friend of labor. He says that labor must be encouraged to believe that It will have fair treat ment, and deprecates earnestly the utterances of extremists. In all the elements that go to maze up a gen uine American citizen, a strong char acter, a clear fcsad, a warm heart and an unsullied character, no man excels Marcu A. Hanna, of Ohio. ' Vitch Fcr V.:p. Bishop Alerdlng, of the Ft. Wayue diocese, has received from Defiance O., the following; Warn your Catholic people and priests against a young man giving his nime as Gould.

CULVER'S LITTLE NAVY.

An Addition in the Shape of Two Man-of-War Cutlers. Culver, Ind., April 27. Two man-of-war cutters left the Portsmouth navy yard a few days ago on a strange journey. No, not on a .filibustering expedition, nor for the north pole, nor fcr over the sea, nort in fact, on be water at all, but for a long cruise overland,tbrough scenes that no man-of-war cutter ever saw before, and ntx) a state where man-of-war cutters areas rare as Dims or tne sea. io, hey are not sailing through the air under the command of a Santos-Du-mont or a Langley, but with their sails furled, their masts unstepped and laid across their thwarts, thev are rumbling steadily along ove long straight lines of smooth steel rails. In fact, they are on fiat cars, and are bound for a little lake In the mid dle of the middle western state of Indiana. At Annapolis Uncle Sam's cadets earn in their two-masted cutters how to handle sails and oars, how to steer, and the 4,rules of the road." Then a saucy little steam launch ap pears on the scene, and from time to time displays on her slender' mast a fluttering array of flags of varied hues. And the cutters, just as though they were cruisers of a great squadron and the launch a stately flagship, maneu ver into line or column, or do this or that as the gay little signal flags command. Here, at Culver, on Lake Maxinkuckee, each summer is a similar in teresting and pleasing sigbtl There is not the smell of the salt, and no big ocean whitecaps, but the rest is an there. Strangely enough, too, this fresh-water school in Indiana is the only one that has been allowed these boats In which Uncle Sam's own mid dies learn the things of the sea. Two of them were given last year, with a promise of more if things went well, and not long ago Uncle Sam gave the little Indiana naval school a pat on the head and a "very well done. sonny," and told the commanding officer at Portsmouth to send a couple more cutters out to the little lake with the Indian name and the ambl tion for a naval career. L. R. G. Sad Ending of Tyner's Career. Gen. James N. Tyner asks from the public a suspension of judgment re garding the break! og open of a safe in his office and the removal of papers therefrom by members of his family. The situation is one in which it is impossible to suspend judgment as to the lawlessness and criminality of the act referred to. There is no reason, as yet, to question Mr. Tyner's per sonal integrity, unless it shall appear that be connived at the breaking open of the safe, but there is little doubt that he has been made a tool of for corrupt purposes by a person whom his wife and her sister are trying to shield. Mr. Tyner held office too long so long that he not only became in capacitated to perform official duties. but even to protect himself against the designing schemes of those who had his coufidence and whom he should now be anxious to expose in stead of shield. It is a sad closing to a long career that was honorable nntif it was clouded by the acts of his rela tives. Indianapolis Journal. Golden Wedding. The fiftieth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Gcttschalk was cele bra ted in Chicago Saturday, April 24, 1903. Mr. Gottschalk and his wife, Katb erine, were born and married in Ger many', but came to America twenty one years ago and settled in Bourbon township, where they . resided until a few months ago, when they sold their farm and moved to Chicago. Mr Gottschalk is 78 and bis wife 77 years old; both are in excellent health and their many friends in Marshall county hope they may live to celebrats their diamond wedding. -. '. Their children were all present at the golden wedding celebration. They are Julius Gottscbalk, Mesdames A. Flick and A. Ahtizz, of Chicago; Wm. Rudi, of Bourbon, and P. J. Haag, of Plymouth. There are nine grandchildren ' Suicide Statistics. " - The National Bureau of Statistics has issued a bulletin on ''causes of death, by conjugal condition" which starts some queer inquiries.

MORTUARY Mrs. Parmtlia Jarrell. Mrs. Parmella Jarrell, onp cf the oldest and best known ladles of Polk township, died at her home in Tyner Thursday, April 23, 1903, aged 89 years, 1 month and 23 days. Parmella Wilson was born in Lewis county, Kentucky, Feb. 28, 1814, duriDg the second war between the United States and England. There she grew . to womanhood and moved with, her father's family to Shelby county, Indiana, in 1835. In 1837 she was married to James Sherwood. There were two children of that union, John W. arjd Louisa M. In 1843 she was united in marriage with Garrett F. Jarrell in Franklin county, Indiana. To that marriage seven children were born: Louisa, Gar rett, William, Walter, Henry, Amanda and Mary. Her children are all living except John W. and Louisa. She, with her husband and family moved to Marshall county, Indiana, in September, 1859. Her husband died November 16, of the same year, and she lived a widow until her death. During all those years was she a kind and patient mother, a true friend and neighbor and reared a family of whom any woman might well be proud. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church In 1825, when only fourteen years old and lived a devout christian until her death. Funeral services were held at Tyner Saturday afternoon, April 25, Rev. A. P. Delong, of Plymouth, preaching the funeral sermon to a very large congregation. Hers was a long' and useful life and she will be long remembered in the neighborhood in which she lived. Second Benefit Concert The second of the benefit concerts was given at ihe Church of God Friday evening, and was fully up to the standard attained by the performers at the first one given last Wednesday evening. The bringing together of eight men, forming a double male quartette, was something entirely new to our city, and when we remember that they are all business men, and conse quently unable to come together for practice, and when the difficult char acier oi ine music is considered, we must corgratulate these gentlemen on their success, and trust they will appear again before a Plymouth audience. The piano duets by Mrs. Jame3 Mc Donald and Miss Deemer and by Miss Hoham and Mr. Stahl were each extremely fine. The vocal trio by Mesdames Thaver. Armstrong and Brooke, was a sacred number "I wiK lift up" mine eyes"; and It would be difficult to'Cod three voices that could more clearly bring out the fine parts of the selection they gave. Hahn's college, quartet, consisting of Mr. and Mrs.; Hahn, Miss Vogel and Mr. Senour gave too numbers on the program, and the audience was so ell pleased that they were obliged to repeat "Annie Laurie" before they would be satisfied. This quartette shows the careful and efficient work of Prof. Hahn, and whenever they ap pear wc can assure them a hearty wel come by their bearers. Mr. Stahl, who has been connected with Hahn's college for the past few years, surprised more than one in the audience by the richness of his voice and the perfect control he has of a wide range of tones, ne responded to an encore which delighted his hear ers. Mr. Stahl has already attained a degree of excellence both with the piano and voice that is reached by few people, and we predict for him a brill iant future In his chosen profession. Who would have thought a year ago that "Dan" Senour, only a school boy, possessed such a voice! It is safe to say that never In the history of our city has the rich fullness of his voice been excelled. We congratulate Mr, Senour, and hope he will keep on with his music study, and let his voice be heard often. One of thesweetestand most charm ing voices to be heard anywhere is possessed by Miss Vogel, and Toil and Rest" was so clearlv within her compass that all were delighted. The audience was so entranced by the excellence of Mrs. Houghton's voice, that although she sang "a" and 'b" number3,' the applause could not be resisted and she was compelled to repeat one selection. Captain Wilson was at some disad vantage ' inasmuch as he was com pelled to drive up from ' Culver and only arriyed after the concert had be gab, making it impossible for him to practice so as to have his violin in ac cord with the room or the piano. Notwithstanding this he showed that he is master of hlscbosen instrument, and the audience applauded him to the echo, and will be pleased to hear him again. Taken all in all the concert was grand success, and every number being of the highest class of . music, requiring labor and much ability on the part of the performers, and we praise etc! one for the degree of excellence attain ed. The church will clear in the neighborhood of fllCO by the two con C

HOME TALENT A SUCCESS.

Local Sin cm Score a Hit A Crowded House Witnessed the Powhatan Performance Tuesday Euentng. The ladies of the Episcopal church have the reputation of always giving something good and their offering to the public of the Indian opera, "Pow hatan," at the Centenial opera house ast night only emphasized their good name, ana also demonstrated tne ract hat Plymouth has splendid talent, both musical and dramatic. The opera is a very bright and catchy one, hlled brimful of tuneful ness and overflowing with fun and merriment. The audience was kept n a continued applause and as the curtain went up on time and closed without any dragging or disagreeable hitches, everyone wondered where the time had flown. All the singers ac quitted themselves with credit and the dance and special features were highly enjoyable. Mrs. J. E. Miller, as Pocahontas was well received in her solos, her so prano voice being well suited to the part. Eiss Emma Yockey, as her sister, Laughing Star, was dainty and coquettish, her work with Captain John Smith and with her two Indian admirers, Medicine Man and Path finder, being above the average. Miss Vogel in the scene with the little In dian boys was good and Miss llazle Neff, with the pappoose lullaby, made a hit. Miss Hoham was well received with her solo. Eldredge Thompson, asCapt. John Smith, was splendid, his yoice and action all that could be desired. His compass and history book were absorbing topics, narry Grub .5 as his companion, Captain Rolfe, sang and acted agreeably. John Butler made a fine Chief ' Powhatan. It would be hard to improve on Carl Reynolds and Robert Reeve as the two funny Indians. They were sim ply perfect and their queer antics and fujny ways kept the audience in a continual laugh. The chorus of young ladies was strong in volume and grace ful in action; their appearance, too, was charming. The American Beau ties' dance was gracefully performed, and the dance of the children made a great bit. Little Azelia Stein was a cute little pappoose. Between the acts Prof. Stahl sang and Robert Mc Donald danced. Miss Houghton played the accom paniment satisfactorily. First Anniversary. The service at 7:30 p. m. at St. Thomas' Church Thursday night com pletes the first year of Rey. W. S. Howard's pastorate and all members of the Church and friends of the par ish are cordially invited to attend. Rev. H. R. Neely of Kokomo will also deliver an address. All the commun icants are expected to attend the cel ebration of the Holy Communion Friday morning at 7;30 o'clock. Thursday evening from 8:30 to 10 o'clock the rector gives a reception to all the parish and all the friends. No written invitations have been given, but all are heartily Invited to attend. The past year has been the most successful in the history of St Thomas Church for many years. The congre gations have largley increased, a number have been added to the church, and the material fabric has been much! improved. Improvements to the amount of $500,00 have been made, of ferings for missions etc. to the amount of $400,00, and largely increased cur rent cxpences are entirely paid for. Mr. Howard and his people are cer tainly to be congragulated, and we wish them both many happy and successful years together. Dedication of the World's Fair. Down at" St. Louis today noon, a salute of one hundred guns will'announce the end of the first century of the life of the great empire that JefLfersoa bought or Napoleon and out of which has been carved a nation of freemen. One cannot grasp the won derful strides that have been taken in nation building as has been witnessed during the hundred years that has marked the time since Napoleon sold a country greater than France. It is expected that the services attending the dedication of the great exposition to commemorate the event-will be historic in impressiveness. The president will dedicate the exposition, speeches will be made by foreign ambassadors and noted orators from all parts of the country will deliver addresses. And pomp and pageantry will be much in evidence. The evenings will be resplendent with fireworks, the like of which was never dreamed of by the most imaginative. Lfct cf Unchinud Letters.

AVARRIED Hanna-Wade.

The marriage of Joseph Hanna, of Laporte and Miss Mary Elizabeth Wade, of this city was celebrated at St. Michael's Catholic church Tuesday morning, Rev. Father S. M. Yenn. of ficiating. It was a pretty wedding and was largely attended. The happy couple were giyen a wedding breakfast atrthe home of the bride immediately after the ceremony. Only-the relatives and very near friends attended the reception. j The bride is the daughter of Andreas and Mary Wade. Her father died about a year ago, but the family remains in this city and Miss Wade was one of Plymouth's steadiest best and most respected young ladies. Her husband is a prominent young machinist who is employed at the Rumley factory In Laporte The happy couple will make their home In that city. John D. Marshall Dead. John D. Marshall, 85 years of age, the man who cast the deciding vote which elected Thomas A. Hendricks United States senator in 1863, died Monday' night in Marion, Ind. In 1862 he was elected as joint senator for the district composed of Grant and Madison counties. He was elected as the democratic candidate because he bad long been identified with the whig party and it was believed that he could carry the whig vote. Oliver P. Morton, then governor of the state, was the republican candidate and Thomas A. Hendricks was the unanimous choice of the democrats. On joint ballot the republicans had twenty-four votes, while there were twenty-five straight demcratic votes, exclusive of Marshall. The republicans, however, h id hopes of Marshall returning to his former allegiance and voting with them, thus making the vote a tie on joint ballot, In which case Lieutenant Governor Baler would have voted and elected Morton. But when the decisive moment came he voted for Hendricks and elected him. . Last of the War Governors. The death of Alexander Ramsay, of Minnesota, at the age of 89, removes the last of the famous coterie of civil war governors of northern states, which Included Morton, of Inaiana; Gates, of Illinois; Curtln. of Pennsylvania; Tod. of Ohio; Blair, of Michigan, and several others, whose names will have a conspicuous place In history. Gov. Ramsay had a record both public and private that was truly enviable. It may said to be without a flaw. He was the governor of Minnesota territory, appointed by President Taylor in 1849, and was elected governor of the state in 1860. In 1862 he was sent to the United States senate and served continuously in that body until 1875. In 1877 he became a member of President Hayes' cabinet as secretary of war, and after that was a member of the famous Edmunds commission. Short Legislative Sessions Best. The argument In favor of short legislative sessions is presented in the case of Indiana. The session of her general assembly is limited to 61 days and within that time the members have enough regular work to do to keep them busy so that they have no time to spare for quarrel jng. They rush through the business and go home generally satisfied with the work accomplished, as are the people also. While the laws enacted by this year's legislature of Indiana tre all compiled, printed and in the hands of the people; in many other states, notably Illinois, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania, the legislatures that began in January are still grinding away, and It is noticed that the longer they grind the more irritable they get and the more unnecessary scrapping Is indulged in. South Bend Tribune. Cox-Dickon, There was a pretty weddiogat Rut land Saturday eveninsr. Rev. J. E. Hartman, of this city, spoke the words that united in marriage Charles Cox and Miss Nora Dickson. The bride is the beautiful and ac complished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Piatt Dickson, of Rutland, and one of the most popular young- ladies of the southwest part of the county. The groom was a former resident of this city, , but is now employed at Fort Wayne, where the happy couple will make their home. They left Plym outh for Fort Wayne on the 10:18 a. m. train Monday accompanied by the good wishes of hosts of friends. Has Lived HU Life. Amos Martin, of Princeton, Pa., has just past his 106th birthday. He was a Highland piper at the battle of Waterloo. When he married his first wife, who was a spinster and owned a farm, he drove to her place with a blind horse, found her in a shed milking a cow, held an umbrella over her while he proposed in a manner most unconventional for it was raining and wedded her next day.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

William H. Bolin StrucX by t Pennsylvania Fast Train and Badly Hurt William1 II. Bolin, who came here from Argos and has been employed at the Swindell ciid storage building, was struck by a Pennsylvania train Monday arternoun and seriously hurt,but it is hoped, not fatally injured. Mr. Bolin's daughter had beeu giving her parents and teacher trouble by staying away from school. The family lives just west of towa and Mr. Bolin learning in the afternoon that his daughter was not in school started out to lind her. He was on the railroad between the Nov elty works and the wagon works, when he saw her going across the commons. Not thinking of any fast train from the west, and his eyes and mind diverted by keeping his daughter in view, he attempted to cross to the north side of the tracks and was struck by the fast passenger train from the west, due here at 2:35 p. m . which was an hour late and running fully a mile a minute to make up time. He was thrown a considerable distanca and was picked up unconscious, with a cut on his ankle, bis hip bruised, his head very badly cut and some internal injuries, the extent of which have not yet been fullydetermined. v ne was taken to bis home where his wounds were dressed by Drs. Aspinall and Borton. He rested fairly well during the night and It is hoped that he will recover. How a Boy Caused a Fire. "A boy in Akron recently caused a 200,000 factory fire in a most peculiar manner, "said F. II. Jorgenson, of that place, at the republican house. "He was an employe of the India Rubber company there and was engaged In pouring a cup of gasolineinto a can. As be did so he half turned around and accidently touched his elbow to an electrical apparatuswhich was in active operation. The current shot through his arm and the sparks flying from . his ticger ends were sufficient to light the gasoline. An explosion followed, and in a fewmoments the entire building was in flames. Luckily, the factory was it' sured to within a few hundred dollars of the amount of the damage." Milwaukee Sentinel. Young People Married. Jesse D. Maxson and Miss Edna MJeffries, of Argos, appeared before County Clerk Brooke Monday afternoon and asked for a rqarriage license. The young lady was dressed In her wedding gown and assured the clerk that she was 18 years old. but the clerk said he would have to have an affidavit to that effect. Luanda Si' mons, who accompanied the parties made the necessary affidavit. A half hour later Miss Jeflrics' mother called the clerk up and info m ed him that her daughter was only 16 years old and he must not issue a license. At that time the parties were married and we suppose the best thing the parents can do will be to consider their daughter old enough to marry. Worth of Moral Qualities. As a man grows older he perceives that the moral qualities are worth a good deal more in friendship than the intellectual qualities, and that no brilliancy of mind, no charm of conversation can make up for lack of loyalty, charity and generosity in social intercourse. Young men of brains are disposed to value mainly mental power in other people, and it Is a human quality to forgive much in men and women of genius. The time comes when a man learns that unselfishness and affection are better in wife and friend than intellectual power accompanied by Intense selflove. Fortunate the man who doesnot come to this knowledge too late. Gtntry Bros .Show.

Stöll says in the South Bend Times: Those low down scoundrels who used a seine in the Laporte lakes and left fish on the grounds to perish that they could not carry away; belong to the scum of creation that was only created to convince some people that there is a hell upon earth. Such short sighted devils ought to be strung up by the thumbs about 22 out of 24 hours. Unlawful seining was bad enough;, the afterwaste and needlessly caused suffering were simply hellish.
