The following interesting editorial appeared in the New York Evening Post: “People are beginning to write to the newspapers to ask if this to be known as the ‘Roosevelt panic.’ That is comparatively unimportant. The certain and significant thing is that it will be known as a republican and high tariff panic. Protest as republicans may, they will be held responsible. And it will be not only poetic but political justice that they should be. “Out of their own mouths, the republican party and the Dingleyites will stand condemned. They fixed in 1896 the standard by which they cannot escape being judged. In the party platform of that year, they referred to the panic of 1893, and the hard times following, squarely to charge up the entire accountability to the party in control of the national government. Not one word did they utter about the hand of the Lord having been heavy upon the country in crop failures; not a syllable was admitted about the unwise fiscal measures, anh the dishonest silver legislation. for which the republican party was directly responsible, and which all impartial students of the time agree had a great deal to do with the

financial disturbances that came later.

No; everything was charged up to the imbecile government. It was the democratic administration which, the republicans fervently alleged in 1896, had ‘precipitated panic’ and ‘halted enterprise,’ And the political inference was stated with merciless logic. ‘Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable of conducting it * * and shall be restored to the party

which for thirty years administered it with unequaled success and prosperity.’ “Now, what are the republicans going to do when the democrats hand them back their poisoned chalice? What, above all, are they going to say about the tariff as an infallible and and magical creator of wealth and grantor of prosperity? A great emergency has come, atnd the high tariff is seen to be of no avail whatever. It was to keep us all rich and prospbrous. If any man talked about laying a rash revising hand upon it, he was to be denounced and squelched, as President Roosevelt was, lest even to question the supernatural virtues of St. Tarifa might cause her to withdraw her favor, when we should all be miserably runined. The Muncie Star publishes a letter from Marion Hathaway, of Muncie, in which he suggests a plan whereby the Cromer and anti-Cromer factions may be induced to work together. His plan is for the antis to support Cromer for circuit judge if he will in turn rally his faction to the support of Judge Leffler for congress. The writer makes the remarkable statement, or admission, that Cromer can control a majority of the republicans of Delaware county. —Hartford City 1 News. THE SOCIAL DOINGS fContinued from page I.)

Lutz will illustrate the music of the Russians and this meeting promises to be very interesting. o The quail hunting season opens under superb weather conditions. The temperature must be cool, but not too cool if it would be right. It is just right at an early hour this morning. Then the weather must be just damp enough, but no too damp—and it is just right.

COURT HOUSE NEWS Largest Claim Ever Filed in History of the Adams Circuit Court. A PARTITION SUIT A Marriage License Issued to Two Popular Young People. By far the largest claim ever filed against an estate in the Adams circuit court is that of E. Woods, against the W. H. Niblick estate. The sum total of the claim is $73,900.00, but as it is for an accounting and includes some large contracts in this county, at Warsaw, Rochester, Whiting and other cities, the real difference if there is any difference, will naturally be greatly reduced. The firm of E. Woods and Co. was organized January 1, 1896, and were in existence for a little over ten years. During that time they handled some large con-

tracts and were known over many states as contractors of note. Clark J. Lutz is attorney. Peterson and Moran, as attorneys, filed a partition suit for J. H. Voglewere, guardian for Elizabeth, John A., Henry and Charles Gluting vs. John Gluting. A marriage license was issued Saturday evening to Chauncey L. Oliver and Miss Mattie Buckmaster, the former of Monroe, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion L. Oliver, and the bride a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Buckmaster of this city. APUZZLEDMOTHER She Does Not Always Know Where She Is At. THNKS CARDS WRONG Whether Played by the Mother or Some Other Member of Household.

When Superintendent Fitzgibbons, at the meeting of the state school board, the other day, said: "Some of the society mothers had better be at home taking care of their children and keeping them out of the alleys and streets where they form vicious habits than be away at the Euchre club," he said a wise thing. Ho-wever, there are many mothers who do keep their boys and girls from the streets and alleys, and who have taught them also the evil results of card playing and that all forms of gambling are wrong, but what can these mothers say when Johnny, or Susie, looking up from the evening paper exclaims “Why Mamma, the paper says that teacher won the prize at the Euchre club last night. Mamma, is that gambling?” Let school boards and teachers frame some sort of consistent answer to this embarrassing question if they can. Oh, if parents and teachers would seriously ask themselves, “What influence is my life and teaching exerting upon the little lives entrusted to my care?” It would save many a heartache in the home and perhaps save many a life from wreckage. A PUZZLED MOTHER. o — A party of men from this city were out coon hunting last night and instead of getting any coons, they shot a possum. The large roller has been used on Seventh street and within a short time the work of laying the brick will be commenced. On October 1 the new foreign postal rate adopted at the meeting of the last universal postal convention in Rome in April became effective. The new rate makes the charge for foreign postage 5 cents for the first half ounce and 3 cents for each additional half ounce instead of 10 cents for each ounce, as the present rate prescribes. This applies to all mail sent to foreign countries, except Canada, Mexico and Cuba. To these countries the domestic rate ot 2 cents for each half ounce still holds good. The change of postal rate from 5 to 3 cents for each half ounce after the first is the only important change adopted by the last universal postal convention.

ARE MOVING AN ELEVATOR. Curryville Loses Business' Industry to Peterson. The elevatbr that has been at Curryville for several years, is now on its way to a new home at Peterson. A moving contractor from Echo took the job of moving the structure to Peterson and began work on the same last week. It will require from four to six weeks to have the building placed in its position, but after it is properly arranged, it will furnish much better service for the farmers in the vicinity of Peterson. The reason for the removal is that the railroad company has taken out the switch that furnished transportation of grain from it, and Mr. Burke, the proprietor, decided that it could be used to a good advantage at Peterson. BEETER THAN EVER Talking About the Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. EXHIBITSTO BE LARGE The Dates are November Thirtieth to December Seventh. X The ever growing popularity of the International Live Stock Exposition is becoming more apparent each year, which fact is evidenced by the phenomenal increase in the number of exhibits entered for this year’s event. At the 1907 Exposition there will be about 1,300 pure bred cattle, fully the same number of pure bred and imported sheep, nearly half a thousand of the finest specimens of swing and nearly 700 beautiful high-bred horses. The show will not only be greatly Increased and improved in its exhibits this year, but the Union Stock Yards Company has again evidenced its liberality and enthusiasm for the improvement of live stock by expending a handsome fortune in providing additional facilities for this greatest Live Stock Exposition. The sheep exhibitors will be given new, bright and cheerful quarters, and an enormous, handsome, new sale pavilion, constructed of concrete and iron, has been erected on the show grounds. Many additional and attractive features will be added to furnish entertainment for the visitors, and as an educator along live stock lines no comparison can be found to this great exhibition, which is the supreme final contest of the season.

A number of people from Berne were in the city today looking after business interests and returned on the afternoon train. A large number of people viewed the remains of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ktftelhan this morning at the Gay and Zwick undertaking establishment. Alf Nickey, who resides south of Churubusco, left home for Fort Wayne Wednesday. Since that nothing has been heard of his whereabouts and his family are becoming greatly alarmed at his continued absence. He was tak‘en to Fort Wayne by Lo Long, a Churubusco liveryman. The local grain merchants still refuse to quote any prices on grain, the market being too uncertain for them to take any chances. The recent flurry has caused a general upheaval in every line of business and the local merchants do not desire to meddle as long as the situation is as it now stands. A Kansas paper tells the story of an old negro who rose up in his church and made these earnest remarks: “Brederin’ and sisterin’ I'se been a mighty mean nigger in my time. I’se had a heap of ups and downs—specially downs —since I jined the church. I’se stole chickens and watermillions; I'se cussed; got drunk; I shot craps; I slashed odder coons wid ma razor, and done a sight o’ odder things; but thank the Lord, brederin’ and sisterin’ I never yet los my religion.” Political Announcements FOR STATE SENATOR.
