1t 1s A BAD reflection upon our courts and people when men haye to organize regulator parties, mask themselves and unlawfully and forcibly abduct a private citizen. It makes no difference who the man may be, he is entitled to the protection of the law. | Tae Indianapolis Journal reports that the Nivison & Wieskoff bottle factory at Noblesville is making arrangements to start up Sept. 17 with a force of 250 employes. The demand for their line of goods is heavier than usual and the proprietors expect a prosperous year. ; ' v TaE Pennsylvania Steel Co. will, it is reliably reported, shortly engage 1,000 additional workmen for its Steelton works near Harrisburg. Orders are in hand which will keep the plant pusy for-the next six months. Good wages haye always been paid by this company. ~ '

AMONG the senatorial nominations reported we notice that Hon. D, H. Ellison has again been honored with the nomination as joint senator from’ Johnson and Lawrence counties. Sen‘ator Ellison was one of the most valuable men in the last session of the state senate. He is an able man, a good democrat and a conscientious, careful public servant. He ought to be reelected by an unusual majority." THar judicial convention will be held at Wolf Lake next Saturday when a successor to Lon D. Fleming, the present prosecutor will be nominated. Mr. Fleming having declined to be considered as a candidate, it will devolye upon the delegates to pick up some other good man for the place. ‘The claims of the several candidates who are now before the people should be weighed and the strongest man nominated. ) '

TRE American Sugar Refining company is capitalized at $65,000,000, with $10,000,000 of bonds. The cost of the plants represented by the $75,000.000 of stock was $35,000,000. At the time the trust was organized they were about $10,000,000. In 1892 the dividend paid was equal to about 150 per cent, and in 1893 to 165 per cent. It has been figured out by experts that the trust’s annual average profit is $28,532,000, or about 285 per cent on -the actual investment. This is an ebject lesson on monopolies. .

Ir THERE is any one man in northern ‘ Indiana that is being forever politically damned by the action of fool friends, it is Hon. George Ford, of South Bend. The attempt of a cortrie of disappointed, disgruntled and dishonest politicians to discredit the judi-_i cial nomination of Hon. E. V. Bingham is an outrage upon the party andj upon Mr. Bingham who stands the peer ot any Democrat in the state in all the qualities that go to make up a man worthy .of support. We have absolutely no patience with political buccaneers who propose to either rule or ruin. CaNaDA is about to honor the memy ory of her greatest .statesmen. A bronze statute of her late Premier Sir John A, MacDonald, will soon be unveiled in front of the parliament building at Toronto. MacDonald was unquestionably the ablest man that ever held office in Canada. The numerous political campaigns through which he passed blinded many of the Canadians to the man’s real power. They are now beginning to realize the high order of his statecraft. He it was who moulded the provinces into one invisjble commercial and political union. ‘

THE coming campaign will be made interesting by a joint debate between W. D. Owen, republican, and W. R, Myers, democrat, candidates for secretary of state. The debates are to take place one in each district, Mr. Owen opening in Evansville in a speech of one hour, Mr. Myers to have one hour and twenty-five mimutes for reply, and Mr. Owen fifteen minutes to close. They will thereafter alternate i the opening speech, observing the time ‘schedule of the first speech. The dates are a 8 follows: October 2d, Evansyille; 4th, Vincennes; 6th, New Albany; 7th, Lawrenceburg; 11th, Columbus; 13th, Richmond; 16th, Indianapolis; 18th,.

Ey-SENATOR SEWELL, of New Jersey, has been compelled to adniit that the newspapers make the issues and fight the campaign nowadays. it i -AT South Bend last Tuesday Hon. Lew Wanner, of Goshen,:was nominated for congress in place of Col. C. G. Conn, who declined the honor. Mr, Wanner is a strong man and ought to be e]ectéd.____________ THE congressional convention at Fort Wayne last Tuesday resulted in the nomination of Hon. W. F. MeNagny. The nominee made a lengthy address to the convention fully explaining his record in congress. ~ WisconsiN Democrats have in their state platform approved of the income tax feature of the tariff bill. Editor Dana, of the New York Sun, will now proceed te read the badgers out of the democratic party. " SoME time ago the republican prospects were bright, but the lovely days and invigorating temperature of September brmg manifest discontent, trouble and division in the republican ranks, and the anticipated “*walk out’ is no longer in sight. Some of the ‘most enthusiastic will even now admit that the democrats may elect two or three men in the county. .

CrAuNceY Depew is another Barkis among the long list of republican aspirants for the New York governorship. 1f the post-prandial orator would cast loose from the ‘Vanderbilts, the' public might have some confidence in him; but so long as he keeps two tails to his kite his chances for political preferment are not so great as to frighten the friends of Leyi P. Morton, the man with the barrel. - Toe health department of Chicago reports that three-fourths of the work people in tbat city who were out of employment a year ago are now receiving wages. The number of the unemployed at this season of the year was estimated at 100,000, and the present number 18 estimated at 25,000. This is a practical evidence of the revival of industry and a sure indication of an improvement in business.

FoRTUNES may be made rapidly by cultivating pineapples on a few acres of land in Florida. An expert says that a crop of pineapples is worth in the market many times as much as oranges or any other crop. Planted eighteen inches apart, one acre would produce 15,000 pines, which at $lO per 100 would give $1,500 for the produect of one acre. 'This has been exceeded in some instances by more than $5OO. | e _ ~ AFTER five years' suspension work will soon be resumed on the colossal Panama Canal project. It has been estimated that 8100,000,000 will com:plete the work. all of which will be subscribed by the French people.. It is the phenomenon -of finance thal the yellow stocking of the Frenchmer is never empty. It was thought thas De Lesseps and his gang had emptiec the woolen banks of France, but it wa: a false alarm. None so thrifty anc none with such a surplus to loan a: the French. ,

BusiNgss revival is gladdening the hearts of the industrial forces of In diana. Gratifying reports come fron yarious parts of the state, At Ander son the Anderson iron and bolt work have resumed operations with their ol force of 250 men, and the Oustes win dow glass factory has also resumed All the window glass factories in th gas belt will be running by the 15th At Noblesville the American Carbol Works was awarded a contract fo 1,000,000 carbons for the Milwauke: Electric Co.

CoNGRESSMAN Bynum and his asscciates on the democratic congressional campaign committee are putting up an interesting' claim about the effect of free wool. They will fssue a slatement shortly that under the Gorman tariff domestic wool has advanced 'in price from one to three cents a pound, while the price of foreign wools has decreased 40 per cent., not only in this country but in KEurope. ['here seems to be no explanation of the decline in prices abroad, but the fact that United States wool has increased in price upon what is naturally a falling market, emphasizes, it is claimed, ‘the truth of the democratic contention ‘that free raw materials are best for ‘the producer, as well as for the con.‘sumer. : _

~Township Caucus. ) The Democrat§ of Perry township and all others who believe in an economical and careful administration of township affairs are invited to attend a township caucus at Uidion hall on Saturday afternoon, September 29, 1894, at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of nominating a complete township ticket: One trustee, one assessor, three justices of the peace and three constables.

WHEN WILL IT END. ‘Tlle Regulators Seem to Be After Evidence—Things Getting Decidedly . Interesting. / Last May the barn of S. Cole who lives west of Ligonier was burned and the circumstances surrounding the fire pointed unmistakably to the work of an incendiary. The fire was discovered at a late hdur of the night several hours after any one connected with the farm had been near the building. In the morning fresh buggy tracks leading to and from the vicinity of the barn were discoyered and a few hours afterward Jas. W. Conner of this; city was arrested charged with having procured a horse and buggy at V. B. Smith’s livery stable and driving to the barn. Circumstantial eyidence was pretty strong, but when Conner demanded a trial at the last term ot court at Goshen the state was not ready with any eyidence that would conyict. Conner insisted upon his rights and to keep him in jail the charge had to be changed and con'spiracy was substituted, John Doe and | Richard Koe being picked out as co- | conspirators. Lo this charge a plea of | not guilty was made, but the man was held for trial. 1t is said that since that time several detectives haye been '} in this locality but that yery little | evidence was secured that would con- | vict anyone of conspiracy, While up- | on the other hand men who profess to know give it out that the detectives " | found out all that they want to send | Conner and seyeral other individuals to state’s prison.

Another act in the drama was carried out last Thursday morning 1n and around this city that awakened the recollections of 1856-1857. At about midnight a number of strangers and some well-known near by farmers were ‘noticed upon our streets and they suddenly turned up missing. It was atonce whispered around that Jack Rees, or better known as Dempsey, had gone along with them, some said voluntarily and others that he was forced along. Rees says that as he was about to enter his home on Martin street he was surrounded by seyeral men whose faces were covered by masks and they said he had to go along with them. He remonstrated and demanded to see their authority which they did not show him. He was allowed to go into the house and get a coat but several of the *‘regulators’’ accompanied him in-

to the dwelling. -Here he again de-| manded to see the warrant upon which he was arrested but none was shown. He was hustled into a buggy and taken south of town where in the presence of about twenty of the regulators he is said to have confessed his share of the barn burning; that is that he was along with Conner when the deed was done, in fact if the story of some of the felJows who profess to have been present is true Rees gave away quite a long§ story. Rees says that he told the story that was put in his mouth by the fellows who had him; that he was compelled to tell something and. that he told what be thought weuld best suit his audience. After having learned, what they wanted Reese was -agamn loaded into a buggy and the crowd started for town. After a consulta‘tion it was determined to take the man before a justice of the peace and make ‘him swear to the story he told. but the scheme came to a sudden end at this juncture as Rees by suddenly jumping out of the carriage gave his captives the slip. He got away in the dark and it is said spent the day in a cornfield near the city. Information was at

once filed at Goshen and on Saturday last Reese was taken before Justice Hattle. in that city and upon the evidence of J. C. Hoover and several others was bound over to court. Rees is now in the Goshen jail, - The trial of Conner and Rees will doubtless come up at the next term of court and there can not help but be considerable interest manifested by our people. Somebody set fire to this barn and other buildings in Ligonier and people want the guilty men found if possible and punished. , Of the preliminary trial at Goshen the News says: The hearing was decidedly interesting and possessed one novel feature in that it had to be conducted over twice, a technical error in the first hearing causing a second one necessary. The opposing attorneys had agreed to omit several minor technical points, but in following out the agreement, the prosecution overlooked the very important point of arraigning the prisoner. He was accordingly given a opportunity to enter a plea, which was that of ‘not guilty,” _ The state’s interests were represented by Deputy Prosecutor Sims and Hon. Lou W. Vail. The latter has

conducted the legal phases of the case from the start. Hon. C. W. Miller appeared for the defense, About twentytive members of the Sparta Detective Association were. present. ‘This asgsociation is composed of farmers of Sparta township, Noble county, who are organized under the state law for the purpose of running down offenders. Each is invested with constable’s powers. Those present drove oyer from Noble county to attend the trial, but Mr. Miller supposing that each was to testify for the prosecution, moved that the witnesses be separated. The court was informed that but five, J. C. Hoover, John Flowers, G. W. Agler and Salathiel and Curtis Cole, were to testify and did not sustain Mr. Miller's noint. s

The testimony of the witnesses bore almost exclusively upon the details ot Rees’ arrest on the night of September 5, It appears that the association, having become convinced that Rees knew considerable about the Cole barn burning sent a party of ten or twelve to his house in the outskirts of Ligonier last Wednesday night to capture him. The men wore masks, but after arousing the inmates of the Rees house one removed his mask, stepped near a window and demanded Rees’ surrender, claiming to be the sheriff of Elkhart county. ¢‘No. you're not,” exciaimed Rees, ‘‘you are Flowers of Cromwell,” in which surmise he was right. Rees then proposed that he would come out and surrender peaeeably if they would guarantee not to do him bodily harm, one of the conditions that they remove to a fence some . distance from the house. An aflirmatiye reply was shouted back and four of them moved toward the fence, the rest remaining near the door and seizing him the moment Rees, deceived by this strategy, stepped from the door. No violence was offered him, but he was fold that he was suspected of being implicated in the burning of Salathiel Cole's barn. This he at first denied, but weakened under pressure and made the confession already described in the News. The prisoner was guarded until the early morning hours, when the two Coles, who were in the party, started

for Goshen with him. On the way he escaped, as related in Thursday’s News. The evidence disproved Rees’ representations to his counsel that the artest-|® ing party had brought a rope with thera and expected to hang him, but showed, on the cther hand, that he was guaranteed immunity from physical ! violence. He had returned home after|! his escape from the Coles, because a ! lawyer had informed him that he could ‘ not be arrested. ! } " Attempted | suicide. 1 At Goshen last Monday evening Miss | Sadie Malone, daughter of James Ma- | lone, a former resident ot this vicinity, | attempted suicide by cutting her throat || with a case-knife. The young lady is | about 23 years of age and has been | somewhat deranged for some months. || Every effort was made to keep her from killing,herself, as she had threat- |- ened to do so many times, but Monday, after returning from a visit she in some way got hold of a sharp knife | and made a horrible cut in her throat. The wound is not necessarily fatal but the chances are against her. She now says that if she recovers she will not tey it again. | sSudden Death.

Yesterday morning intelligence came to the city of the sudden death of Henry Sheneman, the well-known blind soldier, residing near Diamond lake. His taking off was very sudden. In company with his wife he visited Ligonier on Tuesday in his usual health. He retired Tuesday evening without any indications of sickness, but at about midnight his wife was awakened by his labored breathing. She at once arose, but before any help could be called the old gentleman was no more. ‘Heart disease was the cause. Mr. Sheneman lost both eyes and an arm in the service of his country. He drew a substantial pension which proyided him a good living. Married at South Bend. Mr. L. Harry Kreigchbaum, a compositor oen the Elkhart Truth, was united in marriage on Sunday afternoon. Sept. 9, to Miss Blanche Peters, elder daughter of Mr. John W.. Peters, the well known compositor on the South Bend Times. The parlor at 312 west Marion street was handsomely adorned with potted palms and ferns, and at 4 o’clock in the presence of a pleasant company of friends, the ceremony was performed with the ring service by Rev. N. D. Williamson. Excellent refreshments were served and Mr. and Mrs. Peters proved themselves to be admirable hosts. The young couple left today for their Eikhart home—South Bend Iribune.

Death of Mrs. Pancake. i Last Sundav, at her home near the city limits, Mrs. Emily Pancake died after a prolonged illness at the advanced age of 79 years 3 months and 8 days. Fifty-four years ago Mrs. Pancake took up her residence in this vicinity, and all that time has been a respected aud honored lady, rearing an estimable family and winning the good will of her'neighbors and friends. Mrs. Pancake was born in Madison, Ind., while Indiana was yet a territory, and she had witnessed the wonderful changes of time in the history of our great commonwealth. She leaves four children by a former husband to mourn her departure. The funeral services, which were largely attended, were held at the residence on Tuesday, Rev. Shrontz officiating. ; : The Knights of Pythias, :

This great order now numbers more than 250,000 members, scattered all over the United State. It was founded thirty years ago by a clerk in the war department, named Rathvone, and for this reason the members of the order who attended the receant conyention and celebration in Washington felt- a special interest in going there. They were fortunate in having a very large attendance, and alsoin being reviewed by the president and vice president, who, under ordinary circumstanees. would have been far away from the District of Columbia during the last week in August. One of the results of the gathering in Washington is that a movement has been started for the erection there of a tine building which shall serve as the headquarters of the order of the whole country. The Knights of Pythias haye the adyantage of having grown up since the war, and of being really a national organization. The attendance from Klorida, Texas and other southern states, was as large as from any of the northern states, in proportion to population, and the opportunities which the men of the different Sections had to meet each other and mingle together were turned to good account. Such assemblages are conducive to national unity of feeling, and in this way are productive of much good. :

The Indiana fish and game warden has issued a circular ordering all captive red birds set at liberty. As this species of birds does not breed in captivity, it is feared that the variety wiil soon become extinct. It is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 red birds confined in cages in this state. : Card of Thanks. We would most earnestly extend our thanks to the neighbors and friends who have so kindly offered and extended their sympathy and substantial assistance since our late misfortune. We needed aid and it was offered. Again thanking our friends we are, H. H. BELL AND WIFE. Wawaka, Ind. Ligonier Public Schools, Report for the week ending Sept. 7, 1894, ] '

PRETTILY WEDDED, Marriage of Miss Elizabeth Jackson and Mr. Louis M, Latta—A Pleasant Event, An unusually happy marriage celebration took place on Wednesday evening of last week, when the nuptials of Elizabeth 1., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Jackson, and Mr. Louis M, Latta, son of Hon. and Mrs. J. M. Latta, took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, No. 322 South Sixth street. . - An innovation in such matters was introduced, in having the ceremony ‘priyately performed before only the immediate relatives and directly after throwing open the home to the invited guests. At 7:40 o’clock the bridal couple rose from their places in the family assembly and took their station in the bay window of the prettily decorated rear parlor. The bride looked charming, arrayed in a gown of white taffeta silk, draped with an overdress of silk organdie, while in her hand she bore an elaborate bouquet of white roses. The Rev. Dr. Vannuys, of the First Presbyterian church, read the full Episcopal service, thus happily compromising the wishes of the contracting parties. The services over and the congratulations extended, the witnesses and participants turned their attention to the invited guests, who began to arrive at 8 o’clock, and were met at the door by Miss Mary Jackson, who served as usher. One hundred friends thus came to pay their compliments and voice their congratulatory sentiments. The scene presented by the assembled guests |enhanced in Its beauty by the attractive appointments and the pleasing decorations of dainty ferns, twining smilax and fragrant cut flowers, was | one of surpassing beauty. ' | The guests were served with refreshments in the dining apartment, where the central table was beautified by the graceful candelabra, the yari-tainted .| sweet peas and refreshing smilax. Miss ;| Romayne Latta presided at the coffee .| urn, assisted by Miss Katharyn Jackson. : Later came the division of the bride’s | cake, a diversion that afforded much | amusement and was the basis of many

a pleasant jest. Each’young lady was permitted to cut her own slice, and that which contained the finger ring, signifying that its luckv finder was to be the next bride, fell to the lot of Miss Romaice. The ring is a yery pretty affair, formed of a gold loop with an initial *‘L’”’ set, studded with pearls and turquois. : Near the hour of 11 the groom and his bride left by carriage for the country home of the groom’s parents, at Fairlawn. Thursday morning they went to New Paris, where they took a train for Detroit, After a trip down the St. Lawrence they will return in ten days and take up their residence in part of the General Hascall building on North Main street, taking their meals

at Hotel Haseall.: " Before leaving Mrs. Latta donned a travelling suit of mixed cloth, helitrope and green, with hat to match, and as she descended the stairs playfully scattered her bridal bouquet among the young ladies, who made a good natured struggle to secure the treasured souvenirs of the happy event. After the departure of the couple, the younger guests found pleasure in the waltz for a short time before leaving for their homes. - — ‘Thus were the nuptials of two of Goshen’s most popular and well known young people celebrated. The groom is an enterprising and successful young business man, the secretary of the Goshen Gas company, and a member of the firm of Latta & Leibole, plumbers. He has enjoyed the adyantages of a course at Harvdrd and a thorough business training, and has ‘mide an auspicious embarkation tor a prosperous and gratifying business career. His bride is possessed of those qualities of character which make an acquaintance with her a real pleasure and endear her to all. The union is a most propitious one and the sincere best wishes of a wide circle of friends go out to them. - : Their popularity was in part attested by the large array of beautiful and useful presents of which they were the recipients. Among the guests were the following from out ot town: Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Dunning, Miss Dunning. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Lyons, Mrs. Scott and Ike Strauss, Ligonier; Mr. and Miss E. Louis Kuhng, South Bend; Miss Maecauley, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Arnold, Miss Carswell and Miss Meagher, Chicago.— Goshen News. ]
