Patriots are becoming plentiful and noisy as the date for convening congress approaches. It is the same howl we have so often heard in the past,—a howl for the old Hag—and an appropriation. Roosevelt will prove the easiest mark trusts have had in the White House for years. Koosy’s boasted independence will not hurt the trusts. He belongs to the ultraprotectionist gang—so do the trusts. They would make a sorry appearance if “protection” was taken away from them. The temporary restraining order granted on application of H. R. Koffel and others, enjoining the sheriff from levying on property of the men on the last bond of George Lightcap, late county treasurer, to satisfy an execution in his hands for $11,610.95 yet due the county, was dissolved Friday. On Saturday a payment of $750 was made on the execution, and it is understood that the remainder, $2,866.95, is to be paid at once by the last bondsmen. If it is not, the sheriff will levy on the execution. —Starke County Democrat. In affirming a judgment recovered by Mary A. Pritchett against Ira G. Strunk, enjoining him from closing an alley back of his residence near the city of New Albany, the appellate court held that where a person makes a plat of his land into lots surrounded by trees and alleys, puts the plat on record and sells lots by reference to it, neither he nor anv_ one to whom he sells other lots can close any of the platted streets or alleys to the injury of 4he first even although the platted ground does not form any part of the city or town and the plat is never legally recorded. The Starke County grand jury returned an indictment last week against ex-Treasurer George Lightcap (republican) for embezzlement of funds while county treasurer. It also indicted one of Lightcap’s bondsmen’s attorneys, Henry R. Robbins for falsely, certifying to a complaint filed by him for C. J. Lundin (the bondsman) in which the latter seeks to have a judgement secured against him as one of the bondsmen set aside. An indictment was also returned against Leonard Rennewanz, ex-trustee of Railroad tp., (also a republican) for embezzling township funds. At a prominent woman’s club meeting in Chicago a few days ago in which the subject of Foreign Missions was being discussed, Mrs. A. M. Forwerg, one of the leading members of the club, said: “I don’t believe in foreign missions. If we had all the money we have thrown into the n/isssion work we could settle a greiit many vexing problems at home ! Isn’t there enough suffering jin this country without running! to the ends of the" earth to find it? The money can be spent to so nwch better advantage helping thi people who are our countrymen Mndwho are struggling to help the/iselves.” We take off our hat to Mrs. Forwerg.
