Football Ban at South Bend.

South Bend, Ind., Sept. 13. — Football is under the ban of the faculty'of the South Bend high school, an edict having been given by F. L. Simms, principal of the institution that hereafter every effort possible will be made to discourage students from participating in the game. South Bend during the last few years lias always been one of the strongest high school football elevens in the state.

Sugar Trust Tactics.

Have you noticed how the price of sugar has been creeping up since Taft vetoed the free list bill? A few weeks ago you got about 18 pounds for a dollar, while now you only get 12, and the trust is still boosting it. About a dozen years ago we used to get 24 pounds of granulated sugar in Rensselaer for one "plunk,” but the big sugar trust wasn’t satisfied, and it has been grasping for more and more all the time, that its stockholders might revel in more excesses to which the idle rich are so prone. The tariff-made millioniares are increasing at a rapid rate at the expense of the people who must buy the necessaries of life at whatever price the trusts please to make them.

Monon Hearing Ends.

The hearing on the Monon ditch remonstrances was formally concluded Saturday, and the extended session of court closed. Special Judge Steis was here Friday and Saturday, when the last of the large number of remonstrances was disposed of, and the personal inspection of others declared at an end. Judge Steis then took the matter under advisement, but has set no time for publishing his findings except that it will be during the present term of court. Whether the big ditch will then be at once established, or whether the reductions the judge may report will bring the total assessments below the cost, or whether -some of the remonstrants may appeal to supreme court —all these things remain to be seen. —Pulaski County Democrat.

TRUSTEE ASSIGNS PUPILS.

Has Full Power in Designating School, Says Honan. Thomas M. Honan, attorneygeneral, in response to a query submitted by Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, has held that a township trustee has sole authority in deciding where a patron shall send his children to school and when such an assign* ment is the patron has no authority to esnd them elsewhere. The quesiton arose in a number of townships where patrons, desirous of having a school abandoned, sought to send their children to schools not designated by the trustee.

HANLY ROUGHLY USED

While Speaking for the “Drys” In the Pine Tree State. Lewiston, Me., Sept. 13.—1 t took the combined efforts of, five police officers to, handle Ralph Michaud, an insane disturber, who is said to have attempted the life of ex-Governor Hanly of Indiana at the city park.

Special reserves were balled out, but the majority of the rioters fled before the officers arrived. The scene was one of the most exciting of Maine campaign. Governor Hanly is comfortable, t&night and ready to return

Jasper Counjty Will Be Well .. Represented At Annual Meeting. At the annual meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., to be held in Indianapolis next week, it is. hoped that 100 Odd Fellows at least from Jasper county will attend. In figuring out the allottment of the different counties by the Grand Secretary, of the expected attendance, Jasper county is put downfor 100, and District Deputy C. E. Simpson of Rensselaer, hop.es that number at least will respond. It is arranged for all those desiring to attend to meet in Rensselaer and leave in a body on the early train Wednesday morning, Sept. 20. Mr. Simpson would like to have a good representation from Jasper county, and every Odd Fellow and Rebekah who can possibly attend is urged to be on hand next Wednesday morning to "go with the crowd” from Rensselaer. Concerning the coming meeting the Indianapolis News of Tuesday said: One hundred thousand Odd Feb lows are expected in Indianapolis on Wednesday of next week, when the “biggest ever” parade will take place in the evening as one of the events of the session of the sovereign grand lodge, which will meet all the week.

In a special parade program and circular, which has just been issues to all the lodges of Indiana, a request is made that the Odd Fellows of each of the ninety-two counties of the state send a band for the parade. In a similar parade in Indianapolis ten years ago, fifty-seven bands were in line, and the Odd Fellow officials wish to exceed this number this year. The coming parade is expected to outstrip the “25,000-count-us” parade in 1901, as theaffair w|ll be given at night when practically every Odd Fellow in the state, as well as thousands from out of the state; will have the opportunity of being here. There will be thousands of torches and lanterns in the demonstration. The general marshal of the Indiana division of the phrade will be Will A. Morris, of Frankfort, and the following have been appointed as assistant marshals: Philip Zoercher, Tell City; Stephen Sharp, Indianapolis; H. W. Carpenter, Petersburg; J. L. Harman, Elkhart; H. C, Scearce, Mooresville; George T. Pattison, Danville; William Schoppenhorst, Indianapolis; J. B. Merriman, Bluffton; H. F. Fulling, Boonville; George W. Sowerwine, Wilkinson; R. M. Coleman, Indianapolis; Charles G. Duvall, Indianapolis; J. W. Zeublin, Pendleton; J. T. Arbuckle, Rushville; Joseph Hall, Indianapolis; E. C. Faith, Washington; S. P. Stroup, Shelbyville; V. I. Nickey, Gaston, and O. A. Armfield, Elwood. The influx of Odd Fellow visitors to Indianapolis is expected to begin in earnest Saturday and Sunday. The first grand representative to arrive was W. W. Phelps, of Riverside, Cal., who is a member of the committee on appeals. He announced that the committee on appeals, the supreme court of the order, would hold its first meeting tomorrow morning.

’Tis Good to Do Thy Neighbor Good.

In talking with Mr. Conover, the banker at Maroa, Illinois, relative to his connection with the magnificient Mausoleum recently constructed there he said: ■‘About a year ago a representative of the National Mausoleum Company of Shelby, Ohio, came into our bank and stated that he was looking fob a person in our community to taite up the promotion of one of their Mausoleums here. After having him carefully explain the proposition in detail, I readily recognized its merits, and plainly told him so but stated that I would not under any circumstances lend my name to any proposition | that would not be a credit to me. He immediately stated that they courted the very closest investigation and would not ask me to take it up until I was perfectly satisfied that the proposition was an honorable one, straight forward and upright in every detail.

“I had Messrs. J. M. Ramill and John Longstreet, both reliable, trustworthy citizens of our town, to make make a trip to dhio to ese some of the bulidings already completed and under construction; to talk with the people of each representative community, regarding this system of caring for the dead, and ascertain all the information possible upon which I could base my decision. On their return, they reported everything much more favorable than any of us anticipated. I immediately thereafter took up the task of getting enough families together to justify the construction of the building, all'of the apartments with a very few exceptions were, subscribed .for at either our bank or Mr. Ramill’s furniture store,

without eithe? of us or anybody going out to solicit. J In a short time the subscription was-’Com-pleted and the building was constructed, and as an instance of how well the. people, appreciate our efforts in getting it up, I can best illustrate it with case of neighbor Huff, who was unforunate enough to olse his wife this spring. He owned twol apartments, and the night after his wife was laid to rest in her marble lined home, there came one of those hard, dashing rains for which this spring was noted. The next morning, about the first person in the bank was Mr. Huff, who with tears of gratitude on his cheek, reached his hand through the wicket and said: ‘God bless you, George, I hardly know how to thank you for having enabled me to have such a home for Jennie. Last night during that awful rain, every gust of wind and every dash of rain seemed to say, Thank God, Jennie’s in the dry; thank God, she’s in the dry, and, George, I can’t tell you how I thank you, for enabling me to have such a home for her/** As Mr. Conover related this episode with a tear in his eye, he says: "It was worth all the trouble and effort I put forth to receive such an open-hearted expression of gratitude from one neighbor, if there was never any other return, and I want to assure the National Mausoleum people that I owe to them the credit of being in a position today to feel the satisfaction that I have done a good deed to my fellow-man, that words can not express nor dollars measure.” xx

Death of Prominent Remington Man.

John H. Whitehead, a former well known farmer and business man of Remington, died Tuesday night and was buried a that place Thursday.

PRESIDENT TAFT LEAVES ON TRIP

Starts from Bcston This Afternoon on 13.000- MHe Trip. I TODAY HIS 54TH BIRTHDAY I —~' Executive Will Visit Much Same Territory He Did Two Years Ago, and Will Talk Tariff, as Then. Beverly, Mass., Sept 15. —President Taft started this afternoon on his 13,-000-mile swing around the circle. Today is Mr. Taft's fifty-fourth birthday. It is also the second anniversary of the start of the first 13,000-mile trip which Mr. Taft made around the big circle. The territory to be covered is generally the same, though in this trip the south has been eliminated. Then, as now, the tariff was the all important issue before the country. Then the Payne-Aldrich law had just been placed upon the statute books. Insurgency ip the middle west was rampant. Mr. Taft defended the Payne law on his last trip as the best tariff law which had ever been enacted. His Winona speech, in which tl.e endorsement of the Payne law was given, was, from a political standpoint, the climax of the first trip. Mr. Taft lost favor in the west because of ft.* Now Mr. Taft is going before the same sections of the country on the same issue. He said that he intends to make this trip non-political as far as possible. He has arranged his schedule of speeches with this idea in mind. But he will discuss the tariff ip two of his set speeches and in many of the other less Important ones, and <he importance of those issues will thrust it to the fore as the pivotal issue of this trip, as it was of the last one. On this trip his tariff talks will be offensive rather than defensive, as on the last trip. He will explain his vetoes of the tariff bills of the last session in one speech, but his defense will not go beyond that On the other hand he has a hard program of aggrescjve tariff discussion before him to gain support for his tariff board plan for a scientific revision of the tariff. It will mean six weeks of tiptoe apprehension for the politicians ot the country as they follow each stage of Mr. Taft’s trip and sum up tne warmth of his reception across the continent Mr. Taft leaves Beverly in tiptop physical condition. The Taft special is to be a little more sumptuous this trip than last. There will be five cars in all, the presidential car, two compartment cars for members of the party, a dining car and a baggage car. Mr. Taft motored into Boston to take the train there. Mrs. Taft, Miss Helen Taft and Charlie went with him to Boston.

Treasury Chief Says Country Is Pausing to Take Breath. Boston, Sept. 15.—Optimistic views on the business situation were expressed by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh who was in this city after visiting President Taft at Beverly. “Regarding the general business situation,” said Secretary MacVeagh, “I ara not a pessimist. The country is simply pausing to take breath.

NEWARRESTSEXPECTED

May Be More Developments in Lemberger Case. Madison Officials Silent About Confes* sion of Child’s Slayer Now In Prison. Madison, Wis., Sept. 15. —New arrests for the murder of Annie Lemberger are probable, it is said, because of the secrecy of the who have delayed giving out the confession of John A. Johnson, now in the penitentiary for the crime. Johnson, arrested several days ago for the girl’s murder, confessed, pleaded guilty in court and within half an hour was being rushed to Waupun prison to serve a life sentence. The hasty action, it is said, was taken to prevent an attempt at lynching. Sheriff Brown, to whom Johnson confessed, declared emphatically that nothing could be made known at present “In a day or so I will make a statement,” said the sheriff. District Attorney Nelson said: “In justice to those interested in the case I can make nothing known at present Johnson’s full confession in writing will arrive tomorrow, I expect, and then Hie public will know the entire affair.” Many people here are dissatisfied with what they call “the railroading of Johnson to prison.” They are demanding that he be brought back and given a jury trial. It is said that Johnson was afraid he would be lynched when he confessed and that his mind was in a haze.
