The International Harvester Company has just plead guilty to a violation of the anti-trust laws in Texas and paid a fine of $35,000. On top of this the company is perpetually enjoined from doing business in Texas. Were the Texas idea enforced in other states, the question is, what would become of the International Harvester Company? One thing certain, AmerL can farmers would not have to pay the fines for violations of the law. —Columbia City Post. Thanksgiving without turkey! This 13 the situation as it appears to many of the local produce dealers, who say the Thanksgiving bird will be mong the missing when the national holiday arrives. The cold, wet weather of the past spring and early summer made great inroads on the country supply and prices will be almost prohibitive. Advices from different sections of the state confirm all previous news regarding the outlook. However, there will be an abundance of other varieties of poultry.

Knowing that the shippers would disregard the rule recently issued to the effect that the tacking of cards, banners, etic., bearing advertising matter on the company’s cars, the Pennsylvnia has now issued orders for the car shop men to place small sign boards about 2x2 feet in dimension on the side of each car. as it is turned into the shops for repairs. The boards are to be used for the advertising matter in the future and it is in this manner that the company has hopes of solving a vexing problem. G. D. Milner.

The state board of railroad commissioners, after deciding to allow Kansas railroads to show by testimony why they considered a two-cent passenger fare order illegal and unjust, ordered all the railroads of Kansas to make a at two-cent rate beginning October 1. The decision was unanimous. The railroads gave no intimation of what action they might take. Preparatory plans indicate beyond a doubt that the Great Fort Wayne fair, from Sept. 17 to 21, will be the biggest exhibition in the history of Indiana, as the association is offering an increase, of $2,000 in race purses and as much more in generl premiums in order to secure the very best. An Igorrotte village of dog eating savages is one of the big amusement features. It was secured under a heavy guaran. tee and is the same that was exhibited at the purchse fair in St. Louis. Fort Wayne papers are claiming that the grain buyers of that city are paying 90 cents for wheat. It is worth 85 cents here, but the dealers say that it is all bought by the grade and that it is bad stuff this year. Some extra good wheat is worth 90 cents, but it is so "few and far between” this year that no money will be lost on that price. As a bunch of graft boosters, some of the Fort Wayne sheets, have .everything beaten, except the intimatable “Chicago Americans.” —Columbia City Post. Indiana has no candidate for national commander of the G. A. R. to put before the national encampment at Saratoga Springs next week. There are three candidates in the field, Charles G.

Armstrong, of Indianapolis, is mentioned for the place.

The temperance people at Lebanon won out in their fight to blanket the second ward. After a session of a day and a half to determine whether the remonstrance filed by the Good Citizens’ League contained a sufficient number of legal signatures to prevail, the board of commissioners decided in favor of the remonstrators. The saloon people succeeded in removing enough names from the remonstrance to reduce the majority from 23 to 14 but that was all and the attorneys for the saloon men gave up the fight. Seven of the eight saloons in Lebanon are in the second ward. —Frankfort Crescent.

J. Fred Farnce was in Van Wert Ohio, the first of the week where he was called by the serious sickness of his father, who is dangerously ill with cancerous affectation. He Is confined to his bed and since Mr. France's return to this city there has been no improvement in his condition. He is gradually sinking and the end is expected before long.— Huntington Herald. Mr. France formerly lived in Bluffton and is one of the two charter members of the local K. of P. lodge who is still living and retains his membership in the order. W. D. Mason is the other charter member still afllliated with the order. —Bluffton News.

Critics of the newspapers often condemn them for not printing all the facts about things which they profess to know. But if the press became the vehicle or output for every such irresponsible tale that is brought to its notice it would soon, and properly, too, be put out of business by libel suits and damages assessed. The newspaper man’s greatest difficulty is to get some one to stand for the stories that are poured into his ears. Men of all classes will talk with amazing freedom and frankness but refuse absolutely to permit their names to be used. They are anxious to have the stories go into print, but not on their responsibility. -o— ■ - STRAYED OR STOLEN—A black horse, weigh about 1.300 pounds, 11 years old. Left foot at joint is white.

terrupted by councilman Van Camp, who said for his part he did not care to hear any more arguments and asked that the city attorney give the council his opinion, and that they would follow the same. Mr. DeVoss informed the council that he thought that the marshal should be given a hearing, and that the council set and fix a time when they would hear the evidence. He said that it was evident there was a conflict in the law, and that in justice to all concerned it would hurt no ones's rights to permit the marshal to make his defense and fight the charges preferred against him. The council concurred in this and upon Christen’s motion the bond of H. Fred Bohnke was tabled for the time being. The petition as filed by Peterson and Moran was upon motion by Van Camp adopted, and the mayor then referred the charges to the judiciary committee, who will convene next Monday morning at the council room and receive further charges, if any are to be preferred, and will on next Friday morning ask the council to set in executive session and hear all the evidence pertaining to the case. The predicament as it now stands means a fight to a finish and many citizens will no doubt be subpoenaed to testify in the case.
