Twenty-nine years ago last Thursday the editor of this paper went sleighriding.—Goodland Herald. Pshaw, that’s nothing. We knew a Wheatfield editor who went on a “skate” in July. The first plan provided for the President to take his western trip was in the car “Imperial,” but when he found it out, the wires were kept hot until another car could be obtained. “Imperial”was altogether too significant. Prof. Reid, late superintendent of the Winamac schools, who was deposed by the school board for alleged improper conduct toward Pearl Lemasters, has brought suit to collect the balance of the year’s salary for which he was hired. The amount is $408.33. The Supreme Court has just held that the stamp tax on export bills of lading imposed by the war tax law is n tax on exports and therefore unconstitutional. Now will it hold that taxes collected in Porto Rico on exports from the United States are or are not taxes on exports in the meaning of the Constitution? One sentence of Aguinaldo’s recently published manifesto, acknowledging American sovereignty of the Philippines and calling upon the Filipinos to cease resistance to American authority, has aroused more or less speculation and curiosity in Washington. It is that in which he refers to the yearnings of the Filipino people “to see their .dear ones enjoying the liberty and promised generosity of the great American nation.” Many think that the “promised generosity” relates to promises made to Aguinaldo personally and that the wily Filipino put it in his manifesto so as to make it a matter of official record. Whether that surmise be correct or not the language of the manifesto indicates that promises have been made of which the American public know nothing, and'’ naturally there is curiosity to hnow what those promises are.

We must confess that we see no ground for complaining because Aguinaldo has been induced to make an effort to end the Philippine war. The only question involved is the propriety of the war, and however that may be regarded, it is certainly as proper to try to secure success by enlisting the services of an opposition leader as by filling the Filipinos with cold lead. Aguinaldo is tanking the best of a bad situation. We think he made an honest and fairly able attempt to save the independence of his country. But he ran into a Btone wall, and there is no obligation on him to keep butting hiß head against it forever. The sensible thing was to recognize the inevitable and do the best he could under the circumstances for himself and for his people. His course does not change the moral responsibility of our administration for the war, and does not lessen the embarrassment of the governmental problems which military success insures to iis. The personality of Aguinaldo is not a feature in the issue. He lias been merely a figurehead for a cause.—lndianapolis Sentinel

The East and West Railroad.

The chief civil engineer of the proposed new e«Bt ami west railroad was in town thin week. To a representative of the Republican he said the necessary money for the construction of the road was all raised and that the work of surveying the right of way would be begun at the Qoodland end of the line next Monday, April 22. The proposed rond is over the old route, from Gocxlland, Frnncesville, Winainac, Kewanna and to Kendalville.—Winamnc Republican. The directors of the Toledo & Chicago Transfer Railway Co. held a meeting at Mt. Ayr, Monday. It was decided by unani- , mous vote that the president be empowered to organise a surveying company to begin work in 15 or 20 days, commencing at the state line and running east through Morocco, Mt. Ayr, Rensselaer, Winamac and other towns to the eastern terminus, near

Toledo. The west end of the line will be at a point near the Mississippi river.—Morocco Courier.

The Circuit Court.

On Monday the court rendered a finding in the matter of the administrator of the estate of Nancy Jane Shaw, deceased, vs Samuel English. The court found for the administrator and the heirs, and that the administrator credit on said note $1,775, being the interest until May 14, 1900, and $l,lOO of the principal thereon with annual interest thereon from said May 14,1900, and that the residue of said note be inventoried and appraised as an asset of said estate, to await further order of the court:’*’ Costs of action taxed to defendants, and administrator directed to hold said note until May 14, 1901, and if the interest on the $2,650 be not then paid, he proceed to foreclose. The administrator was also ordered to proceed to ascertain by proper civil actions what sums if any, are due said estate from Robert A. Parkison or 'any of the sons of Wallace W. Murray, or others. Defendants filed motion for new trial. Motion overruled and they pray for an appeal to the appellate court, which is granted and ten days given to file appeal bond. The first jury case was that of Burgett vs. Gifford, the famous check-raising case. About two days were taken up with this, and the jury boiug out three or four hours returned a verdict for defendant Gifford. Kirk vs. Kirk, Remington case; title quieted in Mrs. Kirk. Burke vs. Burke, divorce; decree granted plaintiff and her maiden name of Minnie F. Ruley restored. Vannnta vs. Grimes; verdict for plaintiff. The case of State vs. Hainacher, defendant plead not guilty and the case was continued to next term. The Newton county case of Fry vs. Alford et al was begun Thursday afternoon and was still in progress yesterday forenoon.

From Oklahoma.

Under date of April 17, James W. Douthit writes us a personal letter from Weatherford, Okla., from which wo publish the following extracts: I will tell you something in regard to Weatherford. There have been two men killed here since |we came. One was shot by a girl and it was claimed to be acciden- | tal. I guess they were both so | bad a character that no one cared. | The other was a man named Pemberton from Kentucky. He was knocked down with a piece of pine board on his way from the drug store where he had been to procure some medicine for his daugh-ter-in-law who was critically ill. It occurred about twelve o’clock at night. They arrested four fellows but there was nothing against them. They caught a negro at El Reno yesterday and brought him here and they say pnt a rope around his neck and lie confessed, implicating another negro. It would not surprise me if there would be a lynching. Pemberton was a Mason and the native Masons are after his murderer. The object was robbery and they got a little money. There was quite a snow last night. How is that for the “Sunny South?” It only lasted a few hours but it cooled the air and the wind shook our puny mansion. There are two democratic newspapers here and one republican, but they are all friendly. In fact they do not have the news in them that you have in your papers. They are principally fillod with advertisements. The editor of the Democrat is an Ohioan by birth and was once a pupil of Garfield at Hiram College. He was in the Union Army and voted the Republican ticket until 1868, when he voted for Seymour. He was once n member of the Territorial legislature, uml Speaker of the house. He is a Democrat but lias Populistic tendencies. The Indians are common here. The mother always carries the papoose while her ford and master walks proudly along. The Indian never speaks but makes signs nud grunts, if he can make that do to convey his ideas. Enclosed you will find a picture of a dam that was built across deer creek by the railroad company to secure water for the company. Last Sunday Mrs. D. and I wont down to see it and I told her to hold Baby Nora while I walked across but when I was about half way across she broke nwny frem her mother and started after me, all unconscious of danger. I walked back and caught her. Had she fallen on one Bide sho would hove been killed and had she fallen on the other she would have been drowned, if the parties there could not have swam. I cannot. It was done so quick that no one noticed it although there were

several there. She kept to the center and held her footing. 1 left the dam and swore I would not take her there any more. This couutry would be a paradise if it were not for the infernal winds, and they blow a great deal of the time and shake everything that is loose.

He Kept His Leg.

Twelve years ago J. W. Sullivan, of Hartford, Conn., scratched his leg with a rusty wire. Inflammation ana blood poisoning set in. F'or two years he suffered intensely. Then the best doctors "urged amputation, "but," he writes, “I used one bottle of Electric Bitters and 11-2 boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and my leg was sound and well as ever.” For Eruptions, Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Sores and all blood disorders Eelctric Bitters has no rival on earth. Try them. A. F. Long will guarantee satisfacton'or refund money. Only 50c.

The Beet Remedy for Rheumatism.

QUICK RELIEF FROM PAIN. All who use Chamberlain’s Pain Balm for Rheumatism are delighted with the quick relief from pain which it affords. When sneaking of this Mrs. D. N. Sinks, of Troy, Ohio, says: “Some time ago I had a severe attack of Rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. I tried numerous remedies but got no relief until I was recommended by Messrs. Geo F. Parsons & Co. druggists of this place, to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They recommended it so highly that I bought a bottle. I WAS SOON RELIEVED OF ALL pain. 1 have since recommended this liniment to many of my friends, who agree with me that it is the best remedy for muscular rheumatism in the market.” F'or sale by Long.
