J. H. HELLER. Manager. It may have been simply a mistake-, but the South Bend Tribune is quoted as saying that there would be but two candidates for United States senator next year—J. Frank Hanly as the republican candidate and Albert J. Beveridge as the democratic candidate. The Tribune is a stal- j wart republican sheet and the state-1 meat credited to it looks odd to say j the leasL It probably was intended for sarcasm, owing to the reactionary attitude of Beveridge on the tariff question.—Columbia City Post. Even if the final outcome of tariff revision should be far from satisfactory, as now seems probable, the special session of congress will be worth all it has cost to the country. The discussions in the senate have been very enlightening. The reading public know more than they ever did be- ( fore as to the effect of tariff schedules, and the trade and dicker processes of legislation. It is now up to the people to send men to congress who will legislate for the whole country, and not for special interests.--South Bend Times. The Republican party cannot pass 1 any sort of a bill in congress without 1 creating a lot of new and high-salaried offices. The tariff bill is no exception. 1 It carries with it the creation of a 1 customs court to be composed of several members at $7,500 a year salary, and a commission to advise the president how and when to add 25 per cent, to the tariff duties, the members of which will draw perhaps SIO,OOO a

Lear each. As the "sacred principle iof protection - ' must be preserved, all of the members of this court and commission will, of course, be protectionists. Just remember that while Mr. Aldrich has his way and you are paying (more for what you eat and drink and wear, you are at the same time putting food in the mouths of our infant industries. If it were not for the wise provisions made by the humane and benevolent Uncle Aldrich a lot of little star* lings like the steel trust, the sugar trust, the tobacco trust, the pulp and paper trust, the leather trust, the beef trust and other bottle-raised cherubs their good foster mother, old Lady Protective Tariff, has at great pains brought so far up by hand, there would be such a slaughter of innocents as would make Herod seem i the paragon of humanity. Think upon i these things when you have to look a i price boost in the face. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. When the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot tariff graft came to a vote in the senate, only one Democrat —McEnery of Louisiana—voted £pr it, and he did it on the theory that such a course would make him “solid - ' with the sugar growers of his state. On the other hand, all Republican senators except ten voted for the graft. In the face of this vote it will be hard to make any one believe —as some of the scared Republican papers are now trying to do —that “the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans.” Furthermore, after the senate had passed the bill notice was served on the Democrats that the Republican members of the conference committees would settle the differences between the house and senate and that no Democratic help was wanted. The Democrats, therefore, have no responsibility for the legislative crime that is being perpetrated. FOUND —A pair of gold glasses on west Monroe street.

STOLE A BICYCLE Walter Cotoner is Much Wanted by Allen County Officials IS AT GENEVA Was in Calaboose at Berne. But Was Released by Marshal Messrs. John Youse and Dr. Morris of Hoagland, were in the city this morning enroute to Berne, where they will seek to locate a young man giving his name as Walter Cotoner, who last Friday evening stole a bicycle from the premises of the former, taking it to Berne, where Tie sold it to a young man by the name of Keller for three dollars. Mr. Youse ascertained the identity of the thief immediately after the bicycle was stolen and he at once filed papers for his arrest. The young man was located at Berne and was placed in the calaboose. The marshal was instructed to keep him in custody until t|ie Allen county sheriff arrived and yesterday afternoon the officer went to Berne, only to find that his man had been released by Marshal Tucker, the latter claiming that he had held him as long as he could under the law. Cotoner admitted that he had stolen the bicycle and told the parties where they could find it. After his release he went to Geneva, and an effort is being made to cause his arrest and if this is accomplished, he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Cotoner is a youth of seventeen summers who claims to have no home. He had worked for some time on farms near Hoagland prior to the theft. Messrs. Morris and Youse, in the {ormer’s automobile went to Berne this morning, where they contemplate filing suit against Marshal Tucker for releasing the man, and from there they will probably go to Geneva in search of their man. Walter Cotoner, the young man wanted by Allen county officials for stealing a bicycle near Hoagland was

arrested this noon by Marshal Atkinson and will be delivered to the Allen county sheriff soon. He will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. o— — WEATHER BOOSTS MILK Philadelphia, Pa., July 13.—At the milk shipping station at Coopers Point, Camden, the wholesale price of milk is 12 cents a quart, and sour milk is being sold at 9 cents a quart. Continued hot weather is said to be responsible Tor the sudden advance. One of the dealers said that it was not likely that the price would' be increased on the consumer unless there was a continuation of the new figures. o — ■- - ■ HE IS WELL AGAIN Charles M. Moore Writes of His Ultimate Recovery IT’S JOYFUL NEWS He Has Resumed Work, and is Feeling Excellent T. R. Moore this morning received . a letter from his son Charles M. ( Moore, who is located at Phoenix, Arizona, in which the glad tidings is conveyed to the many friends of the latter that he has fully recovered from the serious injuries he received several months ago Tn an accident. Charles resumed duties the fifteenth day of last month and has not missed a day’s work since. October fifteenth 1908, Mr. Moore, while riding a motor cycle, was thrown to the ground with such force that his skull was badly fractured. The pressure of the broken pieces of skull affected his mind and for some time his condition was indeed serious, causing much alarm. However, on April twentieth, Mr. Moore submitted to a surgical operation in which about two inches of his skull was removed and since that time he has gradually improved, his mental capacities being fully restored as well as robust health. Mr. Moore has numerous friends in Decatur who will share with him in his fortunate recovery.

MAY LOCATE HERE F. B. Seeley Looking for a Location for a Big Grain Warehouse WILL SELL POTATOES And Wiil Buy Oats, Corn and Wheat from this Section of Country Mr. Frank B. Seeley, of Manton, Michigan, is here today looking over the field and miorms us that he will very probably locate a big warehouse in this city for the purpose of handling grain and potatoes. He has been in the business for many years, in northern Michigan, and knows it thoroughly from Ato Z. His idea is to erect an immense wareroom along the G. R. & I. tracks where he will store corn, oats and wheat which he expects to buy from this and surrounding country and will handle at all times of the year potatoes which he will ship in from northern Michigan. He appears to be a thorough

business man, and comes highly recommended by the G. R & I- who advised him to come here. He will if he locates here be assisted by his son. who has made a wonderful success of the busines In the last few years. Mr. Seeley met a number of the people here today and seemed very well impressed with the outlook and will definitely decide on the matter within a few days. If he decides to locate here he says he will begin building within two weeks, so as to be ready for the fall business. EPWORTH LEAGUE ISSUES Reorganization Question Brought to the Front at Seattie. Seattle, Wash., July 13—The eighth international convention of the Epworth League of the I nited States and Canada adjourned today to meet again in 1913. The convention brought to the front the issue whether the league should be ruled by the bishops and the old people or young people. While no vote was taken there was a general concensus of opinion that the league must be reorganized at once if it is to carry out the purpose of its founders—that of a young people’s society. oDeputy Prosecutor Chauncey Lautzenhiser, of Berne, was a business caller in the city this morning and has returned to his home.
