The Review.

THE

strike at Pana,

THE

has finally

developed a riot, and troops have been called out to quell the disturbance. Governor Tannei has declared martial law existing at Pana. This is the first important event of the kind this year. The completer organization of lab^ each year renders the strikes more difficult to deal with. More •and more force is resorted to by the •authorities. It shows an unfortunate drift toward a permanent arraignment of labor against opposing forces.

A proper adjustment of claims should be secured in some way without resort to force. But that is the labor problem, and its solution does not seem to be directly at hand. The condition •confronts us while theories avail Jiothing,

SENATOR QCAY

and his son are now

on trial at Philadelphia on the charge of the misuse of bank funds. A striking and humiliating spectacle indeed. But if he is guilty, if he be tried and convicted, then we may have reason to rejoice in the fact that justice has triumphed even while we are humiliated that a United States Senator should be guilty of a crime. There «eeni6 to be little d'i'ibt in general as to his guilt. The name of Quay carries with it universal distrust. If the •Senate be purged of a few men of that character, the whole country would be greatly benefitted. Some purifying ?:rC.cess is badly needed.

is no evidence that Mr.

Bryan is losing any ground in the controversy with Belmont. He has the immense advantage of haviug kept in harmony with the platform of his party. Belmont is in the position of a bolter- and his arguments cannot well rise above the dignity of a mere personal opinion. Bryan continues to strengthen himself in the confidence of the people.

When men seek such •escape from some unknown lashings and secret stings, conclusion sadverse are inevitable. Public opinion would say that this would point to Dreyfus, innocence.

disgraced by a case of white-capping. A man has been tarred and feathered •after receiving and not heeding the warning notice.

SCOTT&*)VVNE, Chemist*, New York.

A KOKOBO lad Jias been sentenced to hang at Louistown, Montana. He went west to seek his fortune and found it in a hangman's noose. It is a sad case of "poor Tray." Evil companions made him the victim who should bear the burden of a crime by them committed. This dreadful example of the effects of evil association should serve as a warning to youth to shun such as the very blast from the furnace of hades itself. An evil man has more power to contaminate the good and undo the righteous, if he comes in pleasing guise, than can be counteracted by half a dozen ot the best and most upright of men.

The fearful fascination of evil things gives force to the words of Shakspeare that "the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape.' The alluring snares set for the feet of the young are scarcely ever more in evidence than in the case of this poor boy. His career was short and the end horrible, but no more terrible than many which drag through years, and end less dramatically, but no less tragically. The gibbet does not loom up before all who are led away, but in many instances an unhonored grave covers over a shameful career with a mantle of forgetfulness. While charity would forget and mercy would forgive, yet justice would hold up her scale in warning to those who stand with hesitating feet at the parting of the ways.

Sensational Jump in Wheat. Crop news is the all absorbing topic. The Chicago professional element gets a rubbing down that brought woe to more than one bear.

Wheat yesterday took a jump from 72 to 74^. For some time crop news as to damage has been coming in from all points and notwithstanding the persistant reports that emanated from the bear element in Chicago was "all right" the very best papers in the country who make it a business to give conservative figures on crops have been stating that winter wheat was not only damages in the winter wheat belt but was killed. Today the northwest came into the market like an avalanche and buying became general all over the country. The bears made a big fight but at the close gave up aad ran to cover and right on top of the discomfiture of the Chicago people. St. Louis bears got scared and commenced buying in their short wheat.

In Montgomery county wheat is badly damaged and it seems that the cereal is to go much higher if the crop reports are true or even one-half of them. The Indianapolis News in its market report says last night: "The gist of news covering most of the western states and far into Texas was that the warm weather now prevailing in many places the temperature being for two days in some parts of Kansas at mid-day 90 is not developing the phint while fears of a dry spell started outsiders as well as professional element buying wheat. As before stated if one-half of the crop damage news is correct and which is reported from reliable people a wild speculation in this cereal is certain and much higher prices rule. The trade are somewhat skeptical but a percentage of damage in the winter wheat belt is true we have 110 doubt and we believe that wheat purchases are right and that will prove a record breaker in the price of tbe commoditv."

Celebrated.

Wednesday Uncle John Hulet, of Darlington, reached the far off eightyfourth mile stone in the journey of life and his children arranged to spend the day with him, and recall the happy memories of the home life when the}' gathered about him in the family circle, as a hale and hearty man, fighting the battle of life for his loved ones. Now full of years they return for a brief season to honor his gray hairs and revive those pleasant memories. His sons Walter, William and James with their wives were present from this city. His children were all there, and also his daughter, by marriage, except Mrs. H. C. Hulet of San Jose, California, and Uncle Johnny remembered herby sending a box of cake to her.|^The day was passed in feasting, and in pleasant reminiscences, and in the evening at the hour of parting went their way with glad hearts, rejoicing that it was their privilege to celebrate the eighty-fourth birthday of a father and yet hoping to be able to meet for the same purpose many times yet. It is needless to say that the day will long be a green spot in the memory of those participating jn its celebration.

A Good narket.

Some Roachdale farmers came to the city yesterday, bringing 210 bushels of clover seed to sell. The price here is $3.25, and they found that this is the best available market. It is a longdrire from Boachdale, but they felt that the trip would pay.

Obituary.

Mary J. Berkshire, the third child of WTm. G. and Thirza Berkshire, was born at Perrysville, Ind., Nov. 8,1837 and passed from earth to the higher life in this city 011 April 1, 1899, at the age of 61 years, 4 months and 24days. The mother of the deceased died when her children were young, and left surviving her eldest child, J. G. Berkshire, lateof the India 11aSupreme Court, the subject of this sketch, and the youngest child Thirza A., the eldest daughter, Sallie, having preceded the mother to the better world. In 1841, the father with these youn children removed to Rising Sun, Ind.. where he married a second wife, and just as the children were beginning to grow in the sunlight of the kindly deeds of the one who became a mother to them, death again robbed them of a mother's care. Immediately after this, the deceased began that loving thoughtful care for others which was characteristic of her whole life. In 1819, the father again married, and to this union was born seven children, to whom she was ever devoted and who feel their loss to be irreparable. On

April 12,1^70, the deceased was united in marriage to Joseph Hopping, of Yountsville, where they have since, until very recently, made their home and to them were born four children, Benjamin, Thirza, John and Bettie. The father, three of the children, four brothers and three sisters, with the aged foster mother live to mourn their great loss. The beloved sister united with the Universalist church in her eighteenth year, and was ever a devoted Christian and a consistent laljorer for the church of her choice. Accepting the Bible as her infallible rule of faith and practice, believing in God as the Father of all and in Christ as the revealer of the divine will aud the perfect example for men, she was able to give a life of unselfish service to others and in doing this she was but enjoying the companionship of Jesus. It was to those who had thus enjoyed her companionship that he said: "Let not your hearts be troubled, I go to prepare a place for you that where I am ye may be also." X. %f'i

UTTER VS. NUTT.

The case of Dr. J. A. Utter vs. Jonathan Nutt for S44 alleged to be due for professional services rendered the wife of Nutt, and over which a jury disagreed, was tried again in 'Squire Stilwell's court 011 yesterday and a verdict given for the plaintiff for the amount asked, §44, and the costs of the trial taxed at §60, in all S104 is the amount of the judgment. There was no jury called, the principals through their attorneys agreeing to let the Justice try the case and enter up a judgment, which he did as stated above in favor of the physician. An appeal bond of S200 was at once filed by Mr. Nutt and the case will be taken to the circuit court, and most likely to the court of last resort. Both parties are determined, and both are able to pay. and the lawyers in a case of that sort are like. Barkis, very "willin'."

What is a Democrat.

The South Bend Times thus answers the question of the Anderson Herald: "WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT, ANYWAY?'' the Anderson Herald exclaims. Well, sir, a Democrat is one who believes in civil and religious freedom, in popular government, in liberty regulated by law, in measures that subserve the greatest good to the greatest number, in a system of taxation that is equally just in its operation and takes from the citizen in proportion to his earnings and possessions, in legislation that discriminates neither against the poor nor against the rich, in laws that afford ample protection to life and property, and in claiming nothing for himself that he is not willing to concede to his fellow. That is the conception the Times has as to what constitutes a Democrat and as to what is meant by American Democracy.

Orange Blossom Shower. The end has come to the row between George Nicholls, of Linden, and his daughter, Mrs. Harriet Killen, so far as the woman in the case marrying Richard Souder is concerned, as the couple were tied up in the most approved style by Squire Buck yesterday forenoon. Mr. Nicholls has been very sore at his daughter for sometime, and Souder was the bone of contention.
