BAKER APPOINTED JUDGE.

President Appoints a Member of the Indiana Supreme Bench to Succeed Woods.

Special to The Journal. WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec 10.—At a cabinet meeting this morning President Roosevelt decided to appoint Judge Francis M. Baker to the position of United States circuit judge to succeed the late Judge William A. Woods.

This will be unwelcome newa in Crawfordsville where, without regard to party affiliations, the people were hoping for the appointment of their fellow townsman, A. B. Anderson. The appointee is the man recommended by Senator Beveridge and considerable surprise is expressed at the result of the contest, as it was supposed that Senator Fairbanks would never agree to Baker. Judge Francis M. Baker is now a member of of the supreme court of Indiana, and a son of Judge John S. Baker, of the U. S. district court. It is expected now that the elder Baker will retire in the spring and that his successor will be appointed on the recommendation of Senator Fairbanks.

Obituary. (Contributed.)

In the death of J. M. Stout York county, Neb., loses one of its earliest and most highly esteemed citizens. He came to Nebraska in 1874, and settled on the land which was his home until death. From a raw piece of prairie he brought under cultivation a highly productive farm which comprises 240 acres with excellent buildings, making a beautiful farm home. He took great delight in assisting nature In beautifying the land which originally was without a shrub. But now beautiful shade trees line the road while around the buildings is a grove, all of which remain a proof of his thrift and forethought.

We can hardly think it possible that he has gone when our eyes fall upon these things which his hand has made so valuable to our comfort. Aside from his love for his family, he held dear the place of his former home in Montgomery county, Ind., and in late years he has made several trips to visit H.

The disease which carried him away was diabetes and he bore his illness patiently, never complaining or speak ing discouraglngly to any one. In fact the reverse was his mak-up, always good natured and jovial,laughing and offering words of cheer when things seemed to go wrong. His health had been falling for more than a year, and after a severe illness of three weeks he passed away on the morning of the 24th of November, at the age of 70 years, 3 months and 12 days. He was married in early manhood to Miss Isabel Jane Primrose, four children resulting from this union, John, Mary, Anna and Santford, all of whom remain to mourn his death.

The funeral services were conducted by Undertaker Wyman, of York, an old neighbor and friend of the family. Rev. Crisp pleached the funeral sermon and closed with an able and fitting eulogy. Every effort was made to make his last days that of peace and comfort. The gathering of neighbors and friends at that time was a mark of esteem with which he was held in the community. The family spared neither pains or money in making his last resting place a place of beauty and worth. The elegant casket was the most beautiful that ever came into York county. It was trimmed in gold in the most beautiful style with his name acd date of birth and death engraved on a large gold plate on the top. It being a metallic casket its entire weight was nearly GOO pounds. Kind friends spread with tender hands flowers of the most beautiful description and the sun shown through the window and kissed them with tenderness known only to himself. After the services at the home the large concourse of people followed the remains to the Arborviile cemetery, the scene of its last resting place.

How it ia Done.

The first object in life with the American people is to "get rich the second, how to regain good health. The first can be obtained by energy, honeBty and saving the second (good health) by using Green's August Flower. Should you be a despondent sufferer from any of the effects of dyspepsia, liver complaint, appendicitis, Indigestion, etc., such as sick headache, palpitation of the heart, sour stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness of the head, nervous prostration, low spirite. etc you need not suffer another day.

Tcacher Sues Her Father. A rather novel suit has been brought in Tippecanoe county by Ida M. Mikels of Romney, who sues her father, Geo. W. Mikels, ex-trustee of Randolph township, for $1,018.95. She charges that her father employed her to teach school two years while he was trustee afld Instead of paying her the salary agreed upon he appropriated it to his own use and applied it to the purchase of a big farm he now owns. The defendant to the 6uit is a brother of Rev. Frank Mikels, of this city, and on account of the prominence of the parties interested and the sensational charges of the daughter,great interest has been aroused in the

For the Plaintiff.

Judge West has decided for the plaintiff in the case of Souders vs. Geo. Stout and Carini. The suit was brought under the new wage law fixing the amount of wages at twenty cents per hour for unskilled. labor on public contracts. The judge held that Stout was not a defendant In the case and that as no contract had been made by Carini, the plaintiff could recover under the law at the rate of twenty cents per hour and he was given judgment for $13 20. Carini is the contractor who put the new floors in the court house and he only wished to pay Souders fifteen cents per hour.

C. W. LYNCH, Winchec'.^r, Ind writes: "I owe the life of my boy to Foley'8 Honey and Tar. He had membranous croup, and the first dose gave him relief. We continued its use and it soon brought him out of danger."

A PUN OF REORGANIZATION.

Prospccls are Very Flattering For the Rebuilding of the Burned Wire and Nail Plant.

The directors ol the burned Crawfordsvii'o wire and nail plant have decided upon a plan of reorganization that is meeting with much favor with the stockholders. It is for the present stockholders to subscribe an additional $50,000 worth of stock to reorganize and rebuild the plant. Under the terms of tlie new plan stockholders may hold thfir old stock at half the price paid for it, and by the payment of the other half will hold the original amount of stock that they subscribed for. A person that held $1,000 worth of stock in the plant by subscribing for $500 worth more of stock will then hold $1,000 worth of stock in the new plant. If he does not choose to subscribe for more stock he will be allowed to hold his original $1,000 worth of stock at half its value, giving him $500 worth of stock in the new organization. Twothirds or more of the stockholders have been to the office of the secretary and each one of them has subscribed the additional stock without a single ex ception. Some have not yet made up their minds what to do, but as soon as they do the directors will be at liberty to go ahead with the work. It iB safe to say that if the remaining one-third of the stockholders do not wish to subscribe for the additional stock it will not go begging in the city, and the sooner they make up their minds what they are going to do the sooner will work be begun on the new plant

No more of the insurance has yet been paid, but it is expected now at any time. Under the new planl of reorganization the directors figure that with what was saved and with the insurance and the good will the enterprise is worth $50,000 to the stockholders as it now stands.

ABOUT THEJI6 FOUR.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Peo rla & Eastern Branch of This Big Railway System.

A circular relating to the Peoria & Eastern has been Issued by New York stock brokers, who are advertising the bonds and stock of that company for sale. The circular says in part: "The company owns a line of railroad from Springfield, O., via Indianapolis, Bloomlngton and Pekin to Peoria, 111., a distance of about 302 miles. It has 810,000,000 of stock, a majority of which is owned by the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. The line from Peoria to Indianapolis is of considerable importance to the Big Four, as it furnishes to that company an entrance to Peoria.

Capitalization is as follows: Mileage owned 352 Fir$t mortguge bonds $ 9,981,500 First mortguge bonds per mile y8,3iiG Income bonds 4,000,001) In'soinc bonis per milo 11,303 Stock 10,000.000 Stock per milo Vj 28,409 Total capitalization por mils 68,128

Policy of Improvement.

The Big Four in April, 1880, agreed to guarantee interest on the Peoria & Eastern's first mortgage and prior lien bonds on condition that if net earnings wore insufficient to provide for the interest, then any money advanced by the Big Four should be repaid by tho Peoria & Eastern out of future earnings. The latter road was then in poor physical condition. Large sums were spent for improvements aud additions during the first five or six years. For instance, in 1892, when a eurplus of only $68,915 was shown, over $31,900 was spent for new property and over $123,500 for rebuilding bridges and filling trestles. The result of this policy has put the Peoria & Eastern in better physical condition than the majority of similar branch roads in that territory, and has increased the amount of sidetrack by nearly fifty miles without adding a dollar to the capitalization of the company.

Reducing Its Debt.

"The Peoria and Eastern's debt to the Big Four was largest in 1898, but improved earnings the following two years reduced the amount by over $520,000."—Indianapolis News.

Pew Changes By Bonnell. Collector John R. Bonnell stated Monday that there will be no more changes for some time among the revenue employes in the seventh district who are not under civil service rules. He has made several re-appointments and very few changes.

EDITOR LYNCH, of the Daily Post, Phillipsburg, N. J., has tested the merits of Foley's Honey and Tar with this result: "I have used a great many patent medicines in my family for coughs and colds, and^I can honestly say your Honey and Tar is the best thing of the kind 1 have ever used and I cannot say too much In praise of it."
