An exchange, noting that the supply of twine is running short in the postoffice department, suggests the use of some of the red tape, of which there is said to be an over-supply. The newspapers talk about Roosevelt not running for the presidency again. What folly f He is running to day. When he reaches out from the post of tremendous power and influence that he occupies, into a congressional district and by his own order compels the discharge of men holding petty little places under the federal government in order that other men recommended by one of his friends may be installed. it means that he is building up a personal machine.

The railroads have already begun an attack on the fare law. passed by the last legislature. A suit has been filed in the United States court at Indianapolis to restrain the authorities from enforcing the ’.aw. on the ground that it violates the constitution The railroads always look upon the constitution as a great and noble instrument when they seek to evade a law.

A tremendous famine is raging in China and the statement is made that every dollar sent to that country in , the way of relief will save a life, i The population of China is supposed ’to be about four hundred millions. I What a rare chance this is for the | philanthropy of John D. Rockefeller , and Andrew Carnegie. They are rich ; enough to save every man woman ' and child in the stricken country, but I I I will they do it? Not on your life. > | The report sent out from New York . that the Standard Oil crowd has split ' i over Harriman’s operations in Union I I Pacific and other railroad matters is j decidedly fishy. Whoever heard of ‘ \ the Standard Oil people—the Rocker fellers, the Rogers, the Fricks and ' [that bunch of patriots—splitting up ‘ : about a matter of common outlawry ? Harriman is doubtless as good as the , others, and that is saying precious ; little for Harriman. _j — ? ! The original Fairbanks organ, the 1 Indianapolis News, has resumed its tight on William J.

A contest between this great 1 Democrat and a political invertebrate e like Fairbanks is the meet painful t thing that they can imagine.

OBITUARY. A young life has gone out. The death angel has visited a home and touched with his icy fingers one to whom life was a summer day of sunshine filled with hope and fond expec ancy. The grim reaper has passed over the full blown flower, the ripened grain, and the senile stock suffering [ the ravages of time and stghing for the setting of life's sun, and gathered J in a bud that grew in the garden of [ love —a tender, sweet bud within I whose folded petals slumbered a ; wealth of social and domestic womanhood: virtues, such as warm and I sheer the weary traveler on the highI way of toil and care and inspire emn- ’ lation. Kittie Neidlingen daughter of ■ Elijah and Emma Neidlingen was born i December 4, 1888 on her father s farm 34 miles northeast of Decatur, where I she spent her childhood. She was ; educated in the common schools. I where she displayed unusual ability J in her studies and won a place of asI section in the hearts of her associates. ’ She was regarded as a leader in the [ social life of the community because of her peculiar fitness. She was united in marriage to Aurie Dykeman and ' with her husband went to live on the I Dykeman farm. Her married life was I happy, although short. With the ad- ■ vent of her baby girt into the world, her own life went out. She was a ’ patient sufferer. Concerned always about the welfare of her home and ; friends, she sought the Saviour for her own helper, in whom her faith i was perfect. She clung to life, as all do. but when the ravages of disease ■had undermined her vitality she commended her spirit into the hands of her Redeemer. There was a conflict between consciousness and unconsciousness for a while, but finally her, trail figure succumbed to the last long sleep in Jesus. She was received into the communion of the United Brethren church at Union Chapel in February. 1 19d4. But a few days ago she said to her pastor “I believe everything that Jesus has said to me in his word and I give up everything into his hands." On the 21st day of April, 1907. after the sun had passed the meridian and was gently sinking toward the west-: era hills. God called her spirit home. 0»»r hearts are sad: but while with > blinding tears we grope through thej night of despair, let us remember that i “joy cometh in the morning." Her| father, mother, babe and a host of I other relatives and friends are left to mourn her departure. The obse-j
