The oleomargarine bill, increasing the tax from 2 to 10 cents per pound, has past-ed both houses of ■ congress and is now ready for the president’s signature. The republican joint-represen-tative convention at Hammond last Wednesday was a cut and] dried affair and .Jesse E. Wilson of this city, was nominated by acclamation.

Edwin J. Forest of Crown Point, ex-chairman of the Tenth district, and Kiuiby Uish of Lafayette, have been selected by State Chairman O’Brien as members of the state democratic executive committee. Goodland Herald:—Jasper Co., republican politicians still insist that they are going to hold a judicial convention all by themselves. This will probably prove more satisfactory than the senatorial convention, as there won't be anybody there to disarrange their plans. In other parts of the country the high winds and storm did much damage last Sunday. At Evansville, this state, St. Boniface Catholic church, oue of the finest churches in Indiana and which cost |200,000, was struck by lightning and totally destroyed. At and near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, several churches were demolished by the wind, (he pastor’s in some instances killed and the congregations more or less injured and quite a number killed.

FOUR YEARS OLD.

With this issue The Democrat completes its fourth year, all but three months of which has been under its present management. The success of The Democrat ‘has fully demonstrated that the field was a fertile one for an opposition paper. The prospect at the beginning was not very alluring, and it required courage, perseverance and hard work to place the paper upon a substantial footing, confronted as it was by a formidable political opposition with a heavy majority in the county. Its success makes it evident that a newspaper need not compromise its convictions and expressions to secure subscribers or business support, even in Jasper county, and that it should be conducted along the lines of sound business principles rather than the changeful fortunes of politics. While ever an aggressive paper, The Democrat has secured the largest circulation ever accorded a paper in Jasper county and maintains a lucreative business patronage. Its bitterest enemies have been the leeches who were engaged in sucking the life-blood from the people, and who did not want to be disturbed in their luxurious task. Every editor who dares to condemn evil without fear or favor is sure to create an opposing element among the evildoers, but his services are of much greater value and duration than he who has no words of condemnation for such wrong doing. During the campaign of four years ago one of these enemies who, through another party had unsuccessfully tried to bribe the editor in certain matters concerning the expenditure of several thousand dollars of the county’s money, went about over the county, saying that as soon as the election was over and it went against the democrats, which it was sure to do, The Democrat man would soon pack up and move out. And we believe he actually thought we would have to. But, contrary to this prediction, The Democrat is still doing business at the old stand, three times as powerful in every way as it was at that time, and one more alleged representative from this man, about a year later, met with like rebuff on a similar “errand.” And in neither case was the money expended. Since then no more “representatives” of the gentleman in question, or any others, have called to “fix” The Democrat. It has remained true to itself and true to its constituency. That its mission has not been without some good results, every well informed citizen of the county must admit. The persistent and damnable methods resorted to “down” it have only resulted in the opposite from that intended, as they should. And now, thanking our thousands of friends for the support given us during the past four years and trusting that the honest, straighforward course of the paper in the future will continue to merit their confidence and support, we enter upon our fifth year with renewed hope that our efforts in behalf of our honest and economical administration of public. business will bear even better fruit in the future than in the past.

COUNTY QUESTION NOT IN IT.

There is no paper in Newton county with a better record of loyalty to its home town than the Herald On the county seat question we stand ready to contest every inch of the ground, neither giving nor asking favors of the Kentland people. But in this judicial convention question there is no county seat argument at issue, no advantages to be gained by the selection of a judge at any of the towns contesting for county seat honors. It is a square-toed fight for a fair show against (not the republicans of Jasper county) a ring of Rensselaer politicians who got their noses broke in their efforts to name a senatorial candidate once upon a time and now proposes to do an unfair and contemptible act toward the voters of two counties in order to “even up” with the three or four men who out-generaled them.—Goodland Herald.

The dates for holding the democratic congressional, representative and judicial conventions have not been set as yet. The great steel trust has completed the first year of its existence and a report of its business has been made public. The total net earnings was 1111,967,195. Newton county is peopled with quiet, law-abiding, industrous citizens, and is the only county in Indiana that has no cases pending in either the supreme or appellate courts. And yet the Rensselaer political machine would try to make it appear that Newton county people are the worst set of rascals that ever went unhung.

The friends of Albert Schoonover of Attica, are pushing him for the democratic nomination for Secretary of State. Mr. Schoonover was located at Kentland for awhile and is well and favorably known in Jasper where hie friends stand ready to lend aid to his candidacy when the time comes for holding the state convention.

The other day Senator Pettus arose as if to address his fellow members and a hush of expectancy at once fell upon the chamber. Every eye was upon the venerable statesman, who with great deliberation reached around into the tail pocket of his long frock coat and drew forth a plug of tobacco. Unconscious of the attention he was attracting, he bit off a chew and sat down without Saying a word. Everybody smiled.—Press dispatch. A f?w more of this kind of speech-makings and the present congress will go down in history as the most conservative in a decade.

ARMY NURSES’ CHIEF.

■ torr of tbe President of Their Na» tlonal Organisation. One of the most interesting women at the recent Grand Army encampment was Mrs. Elizabeth Windle Ewing, president of the National Association or Army Nurses and a resident of Phenixville. Pa. Mrs. Ewing was born in the historic village of Valley Forge 58 years ago and grew to womanhood among the valley hills where Washington and his half starved-army lay encamped that memorable winter of 1777-8. She married just before the civil war, and when her first baby was 3 days old her husband, Emanuel Ewing, a member of an old Chester county family, kissed her goodby, shouldered his musket and went to the front. The young wife’s solicitude for her husband began to tell on her happiness

MRS. ELIZABETH WINDLE EWING.

and health, and at last, early in July, her cup of sorrow was filled to overflowing when she received word from Captain Dobson that her husband had been badly wounded at the battle of Malvern Hill, June 30, taken prisoner and carried off to Libby prison. This was too much for her. She felt that she must go and nurse him at all hazards. After many rebuffs and disappointments she found him and became an army nurse. Mrs. Ewing nursed her busband back to health and saw him go home, and then she turned her attention to others and remained in the hospital several months. After her work at the hospital Mrs. Ewing went home and at once identified herself with the soldiers’ relief work and has ever .since been a leading spirit In all movements calculated to benefit the old soldiers. She was elected president of the National Army Nurses’ association one year ago and, although in feeble health, has succeeded In doing all that belongs to her office.

BRUTE IN UNIFORM.

Here is a picture of Caj> tain Voulet, the French army officer who is at present an outlaw in the Sudan and

o o French Army Officer Charged With Barbarous M order. O o

whose little band of murderers Is being hunted down like so many wild beasts. Captain Voulet was an officer who bad gained some distinction in the French Sudan when he was sent with Captain Chanoine on a special mission Into the interior. This was last January. Early in the spring the French war department heard news of barbarous acts of cruelty committed by these captains. An expedition was ■sent out to call them back. Lieutenant Colonel Klobb and a lieutenant, sent to relieve the accused

CAPTAIN VOULET.

men, were shot down by the culprits, who then escaped Into the wilderness. A large column has been sent to search for them. The crimes charged to these officers are almost Inconceivable. They began their work of barbarity by beheading a native who declared be did not know a road about which he was being questioned. Subsequently, It Is declared. Voulet captured 80 natives, of whom he killed 20 of the women and children, shot a soldier for wasting ammunition and burned a village of 10,000 Inhabitants. Chanolne, It Is added, shot two of bls men without trial for not pursuing a native who had wounded a soldier. He also burned a village and, having lost six men in an engagement, rushed a village and capturea 20 of the inhabitants, of which number he killed 10. placing their beads on poles.
