EDITORIAL MEETING.

Northern Indiana Editorial Association Royally Entertained At Rochester. The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Editoral Association was held at Rochester last Thursday and Friday and was attended by about one hundred editors, their wives and sweethearts. Rochester citizens threw open their homes to the visitors and entertained them in a royal manner, while the decorations at the handsome and imposing court house, business houses, streets and private residences were most profuse and elegant. The program consisted of business meetings at court house, carriage ride, fish fry and course dinner, boat rides etc., at Lake Manitou, band concert, reception, musical and literary entertainment at Rochester College, etc. Every one was loud in their praise of the entertainment tendered them by the citizens of Rochester and pronounced it one of the most enjoyable meetings the association has ever held. H. A. Barnhart of the Rochester Sentinel, to whose personal efforts the success of the meeting was largely due, was elected president of the association for the ensuing year; M. R. Williams of the Warsaw Times, corresponding secretary; and J. S. Coulogue of the Kendallville Standard, secretary and treasurer. The meeting next year will be held at Winona The Democrat man and his better half were entertained in the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman E. Franklin, and from them and Bros. Barnhart of the Rochester Sentinel, and Bitters of

Rochester College, Where Reception Was Given.

the Republican, we shall long remember the courtesies shown. Prof. Banta head of the Rochester College used to live near Mt. Ayr, Newton county, and taught school in that neighborhood in his younger days. He is a brother-in-law of Ben Harris, Sr., of this city, and informed the writer that he had herded cattle all over the territory west of Rensselaer in an early day. Rochester is a modest and unpretentious little city of 4,000 people, 101 miles east of Chicago on the Erie Ry. and 08 miles north of Indianapolis on the L. E. & W. Ry. It ig surrounded by a rich farming community and situated midway between the famous lake Manitau and the beautiful Tippecanoe river, a mile from each, on a channel connecting the two. It is a very level city with broad streets, skirted everywhere with green lawns and and rich shade and free gravel roads leading in all directions. The homes are all tidily kept and very uniform in the characteristic that none are manoions and very few are hovels. There are ten church organizations in the city, fourteen lodges, a University Club of fifty leading literary people and a Woman's Club of fifty members. In the matter of public improvements, Rochester has a mile of paved streets, and is planning to lay another mile of paving. It has both storm and sanitary sewerage, water works, fed from the Lake, modern court house, sheriff’s reel dence and jail, three large school buildings, and is just breaking ground for a $20,000 Public Library. There are first-class telephone and electric plants and a steam heating system all of ample capacity to take care of the substantial growth the city is making. In an industrial way Rochester has fine shipping facilities already, and one inter-urban traction line, to Wabash and the Gas belt, is now building and another along the Michigan Road from Logansport to South Bend is so far promoted as to make it an assured and early improvement- This, too, is the head center of the great Beyer Bros. Co. produce and creamery enterprise, and their packing

houses, cold storeage, creamery and butter refinery here are the largest in the state. The Haslett Bros, are also extensive packers. The Stafford-Goldsmith pickle salting and processing works cover almost a half acre of ground, employs about 40 hands and prepares for the market 60,000 bushels of pickles annually. The Rochester shoe factory has a capacity for 200 hands and the Rochester Bridge Works employs from 30 to 50 men. The Manitau Roller Mills is one of the largest in this section and the Ross machine works is quite an industry. Beside these there are many smaller industries, three large grain elevators, two substantial banks and two daily and weekly newspapers —the Sentinel and Republican. But the best of Rochester’s features, in the public eye is Rochester College and Lake Manitau. The College, bu It in 1895, has survived the experimental stage and is now a substantial educational institution where young men and young women may get the best of special training at the lowest possible cost. There are now 17 University trained members in the faculty and the yearly enrollment is over 400. All branches are taught with special courses and special instructors in music, pedagogy, commercial practice and college corriculum. This institution prepares students to enter the junior year in any of the greater Universities of the country. The musical department lays claim to being the most thorough, complete and comprehensive institution found anywhere outside of metropolitan cities, the evidence of which is conspicuously shown in the classic work of all musicians schooled in Rochester College and

Rochester citizenship affords a safe and economic environment for students. Hundreds of bright young people Hock to this institution every year for the reasons that expenses are low, the course of study are the very best, and the citizenship of Rochester takes so much interest in their college it makes students feel at home and this swells the attendance at every successive term. Lake Manitou (meaning Devils Dake) was so named by the the Indians because they used to see “monsters” therein which they thought to be material manifestations of the Devil. But civilization found these “monsters” to be only large buffalo fish, of which there are many in the lake, sporting in the water. The lake is nearly 3 miles long and 11 miles wide and dotted here and there with beautiful little islands. The water is mostly shallow and this affords fine fish growing facilities. Therefore the lake has always been an angler’s paradise, and now the Government is replenishing Manitou with millions of pike, bass and croppie spawn, and fishing here is all that the most enthusiatic an-

gler could wish. About the lake are many summer cottages and three summer hotels, and people who want rest aud pleasure in hot weather find it a most delightful place to recreate. One of the most beautiful places is the home of Holden Bros., the famous theatrical men who live here on a hundred odd acres of fine lakeshore land when not on the road. Altogether, Rochester does not seem to be a place to get rich 3uick, but it shows many eviencee of being an ideal place to live easily, comfortably and in peace and good will.

Persons getting loans from big eastern insurance companies, says an exchange, should scan their contracts closely. It is said that in many Indiana counties they are inserting a clause in their mortgages which requires the borrower to pay tax on the mortgage. In a number of cases borrowers have declined to make loans after discovering this clause. The Perry Nursery Company, of Rochester, New York, one of the leading nursery concerns in the U. S., writes us that they want a good live agent in this section to solicit orders for their products. Experience not necessary. They offer good pay weekly, and furnish canvassing outfit free. We advise any man or woman in our community, who is in a position to take orders for the above house, to write them for particulars immediately. Monticello Journal: The question of building thirteen miles of stone roads in Honey Creek township was submitted to the voters of that township yesterday and met with a hearty endorsement. The majorities on the different roads as follows: Branch No. 1, 168; No. 2,170; No. 3, 155; No. 4, 161; No. 5, 155; No. 6, 160. Such sweeping majorities are evidence that the people are heartily in favor of the roads. When these branches and connections are completed Honey Creek will have the best system of roads of any township in White county.

The shirt waist man and the net waist girl go hand in hand today; and year after year they’ve gone right along, throwing their clothes away. The coat and vest are laid to rest, and where is the fleecy shawl? And if clothes get fewer and constantly thinner —what is the end of it all? Oh, what will the shirt waist man take next from the things he has to wear? And what will the net waist girl next discard from her shoulders now half bare? The shirt waist man and the net waist girl still go rollicking on their way. Have we started a trend that will bring us again to the fig leaf costume some day?—Ex.
