THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1895.

Tag scramble for places on the republican state ticket has already begun in.dead earnest. There are now no less than eight ayowed candidates for governor, and the other places will all be sought after with the same yigor.

Hon. L. P. Newsy of Knightstown is being prominently mentioned in connection with the lieutenant governorship. The republicans could not select a better man to fill the honorable position and he would certanly rmake a popular candidate, ,

THIs 18 the silly season in polities, and the readers of papers devoted to that subject must be very weary of reading columns of stuff one day only to find it contradicted the néxt day. It ig a sad waste of time. Nothing of real political importance is likely to occur in this state before the state conventions are held 1n September.

*TaE military workshops at Puteausx, in France are said to be hard at work turning out leather tires for the army bieycles, to replace those of rubber, which when they break down or are punctured are very difficult to repair. Leather tires on the contrary, can be gewn without much trouble by the cyclist or by the nearest shoemaker. Moreover they are lighter than the rubber ones and are much .ess likely to slip on wet pavement or asphalt.

PHYSICIANS sometimes fall back upon the simplest remedies. A little Belleville (N. J,) girl stuck a cartridge in her nose the other day. Her distracted parents failed to dislodge it after hours of worry, but when a doctor arrived, instead of getting out his box of surgical instruments, he sent for the pepper and sprinkled a little .in the child’s nostrils. One sneezing paroxism sent the cartridge out. Itis well at times to know just what to do and how to do it.

ONE OF the most convincing evidences of the arrival of better times is the voluntary adyance inn wages reported to haye been made by 685 firms and companies for the benefit of 514,000 employees. There are also, doubtless, a large number of small concerns which haye increased the pay of their employees without public mention. The threatened strike of coal miners in Pennsylyania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has been ayerted by the mine owners making some concessions to the men, : o

“TeE Wabash Plain Dealer says that “‘this isa good old democratic year” and goes on to bewail the wheat and oats crop and the low price of corn. The calamity howl must be kept up at all hazzards and the farmer must be made to believe thatthe big crops depend wholly upon voting the republican ticket. Last year when wheat was plenty the greatest crop ever raised—Cleveland was held responsible for conditions but now the big corn crop is to be loaded upon the shoulders of his party. - :

Tae bicycle has been getting the blame for many things, but how comes the New York World which claims that during the fiscal year which ciosed June 30, over 4,000,000,000 (4,130,410,000) cigars were manufactured in the United States. This is an increase of 63,522,000 over the number manufactured during the previous year, yet neyertheless the United States Tobacco Journal claims that the cigar trade is being dgmaged by the increasing use of bicyiles. The theory is that the time spent on a bicycle is withdrawn #rom the possible time for cigar smoking, Y

TaE meeting of St. Joseph county farmers, presided oyer by Hon. Christ Hoiler of fish-law \ame, at South Bend last Saturday, indulged in some strong talk against building a new court house and passed resolutions

condemning the action of the county commissioners. Hon. Aaron Jones took a hand in the fight and entered his ptotest against the projected building, but it looks as if the commissioners meant business and the improvement will be carried out. It is notor= ious that a new court house is needed, the present building being a disgrace to the county and a shame to South Bend.

Tae late Republican legislature of Iliinois passed a law compelling the display of an American flag upon every school house in the state, either publie, sectarian or private. The Idea scems to be prevalent in some quarters that patriotism can be made by law. This is impossible and attempts i that direction only tend to form a sentiment in the opposite direction. The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the law, says: ‘“We cannot conceive what the late- legislature was thinking of when it passed this incomprehensible bill, or what the governor was about when he permitted it to become a law. It was sneaked through the legislature; few persons outside of Springfield understood that it was meditated; and fewer still that it had become a ; law; yet there it stands on the statate ‘books—a monument to the incapacity or malios of thode who are responcible Wt e

THE TRUSTEES REPORTS.

The new law to compel township trustees to publish their annual report as they are made to the auditor is creating a great deal of discussion throughout the state, Some of the trustees have paid no attention to the law and others have complied with it in detail. Still others have published brief recapitulations and think that will do. The language of the law seems plain that the annual report, as it is made to the auditor, must be published in full, under a penalty of $lOO. Whether it is right or wrong the trustees are not the judge. It is the law and should be obeyed the same as any other law. The attorney general holds, as we published last week, that the law applies to ‘the old trustees and that it is made to be obeyed and that anybody who ad-! vises its evasion should be prosecuted. With a yiew of letting everybody read the law and judge for themselves we publish it entire: . | SEcTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That every township trustee in this state shall immediately after the taking effect of this act, procure, at the expense of his township, a book having suitable headings and properly ruled columns, in which he shall regiser and number in consecutive order as issued by him, all township orders. or warrants showing the fund on which such order or warraut is drawn, the number, date and amount of each order or warrant, to whom issued, for what purpose, and when redeemable, which account shall also contain a complete statement of all outstanding indebtedness of the township incurred in the purchase of road, office and school supplies and when and to whom payable; and on the first Monday of August of each year, he shall post up a statement in a conspicuoue place in the vicinity of his office. showing such indebtedness in detail, giving the numbers and total amount of outstanding orders, warrants and accounts chargeable to each fund, which statement shall be sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oath, and each township trustee shall, within ten days after filing his annual report, cause a copy of his said report in full to be published for one week in one weekly newspaper haying general circulation in his county, if any there be, together with a transcript ot the above account and on failure 8o to do he shall be liable upon nhis bond, in the sum of one hundred dollars to be recovered upon an action brought in the name of the state of Indiana, on the relation of such township against the trustee failing to so publish such report, and said trustee shall also record at length a copy of such report in the township record. — LaPorte Argus. -

Pastor Who Was Onto ¥is Job.

A young couple appeared at the residence of Rev. Phelps and wanted to be united for better or worse. When, however, they were about- to be cemented with matrimonial glue, the discovery was made that the license was manufactured 1n Indiana: but, hayving smelled the marriage fee, the divine did not propose to allow it to slip through his fingers. He accord ingly hitched up his horse, droye over into Lagrange county and spliced the young folks together with dispatch,— Sturgis Journal. '

Look Out for the Children

An exchange speaking of the oppressively hot weather of the past few days says: - This is a purticularly dangerous season for children whose diet is not closely watched and the slightest symptoms of iliness should be treated as a serious matter, The complications that are likely to follow a usually harmless illness may come in such rapid succession that all efforts to check their development’may be barren of results. The complaints common to children are aggrayated by the heat and made doubly dangerous.

A Flea Bitten Town,

- According to the Chicago Mail the city of Hammond is infested with fleas and the diminutive pest has become so annoying that hundreds of people have moved elsewhere in order to be relieved, The Hammond papers which have withstood the attacks on Roby and the gambling element with perfect equanimity are up in arms over this new accusation and the representative of the Chicago Mail who first gave the story currency is threatened with the bitterest reprisal if ever he sets foot therein again. What particularly angered the good people of Hammond was the allegation by the Mail that ‘‘the ordinary uses of etiquette haye been abandoned in Hammond and it is quite the proper thing for a lady to irrigate the spot where a flea has yisited without retiring from the parlor or ball room.’’ - :

4 : The Valuation Raised. As we predicted the state board of review has raised the assessment as agreed upon in this county as well as that of the neighboring counties. = The raise falls upon the lots and improvements in Kendallyille, Ligonier and Albion as well as upon the farm lands outside. It was to ‘be expected as many counties in the state did not materially lessen their yaluation of four years ago and they had to be lowered or others raised. In more than half of the counties the assessment was increased and none cut down. Iu this part of the state the following changes are noted: s

Lake county, $28.71; add 5 per cant. to lands. i Porter county, $l4 63; add 10 per cent. to Jands. LaPorte county, $17.07; add 20 per cent,. to lands and 10 per cent. to lots and improvements in the city of LaPorte. St. Joseph county, $2O 82; no change.

An Outrage at Avilla,

Anna Zemaitys, a young »womanl born in Poland, and who has been in this country less than one menth, arrived at Ayilla on the B. &O. road Monday night on her way to Grand Rapids. S%e was obliged to wait several hours for g north bound train and while lying down and asleep in the waiting room she was assaulted by three men. She could not understand what they said to her. but she resisted their adyances and finally fled from the room. She was followed by the three persons and thrown down between the rails of the railroad track: Her screams finally brought the night watch to her assistance and her assailanfs fled. - When she reached Grand Rapids, where she Has friends, she made an affidayit covering the above points and the same has been sent to the officers here in the hope that the wretches might be apprehended. but so far nothing has been heard of them g‘nd they are unknown.—hendallyille un, .

: Glimpses of the Past, EplTor BANNER.—The sentiment of oft quoted: ‘:Let the dead past bury its dead,”’ always of doubtful philosophy, is now seldom expressed. The past can neyer be truthfullly pronounced ‘‘dead,”” When Imspired by the poet’s trumpet call, we: ‘*Act—act, in the living present, Heart within and God o’erhead.” the past is ever with us and within us—an ever-living inspiration—a fadeless light—a ceaseless admonitition. Thank God, we cannot ignore the pastif we would, and still more fervently, thank God that our enlightened souls would not if they conld. Yes the past lives. Its actors live. ‘‘Their works do follow them.”” And the time will never come when mankind will not eagerly watch the up-rising of thec curtain of time—the revelation of the ' stage whereon are enacted the dramas of Auld Lang Syne. Even the homelier, ‘‘everyday’’ scenes, to which in the the present we are indifferent, are invested with a ricté’ glamor of attraction by the mellow: haze of memory and ennobled by the spirit of historic reverence.

A rich source of historic items and references relating to pioneer times in Noble county are the records of the early justices of the peace. 1o a limited extent they supply the voids created by two disastrous fires—the first at Angusta 1n 1843 by which the records of over six years of transactions in the commissioners court and in the auditor’s and treasurer’s offices were destroyed and the second at Albion on the 25th of January, 1859, causing the destruction of the court records of twenty-three years, . from organization of the court including the most interesting and important events of Noble’s earlier history. How full of authenticated facts and true historic lore those pages were and how great the vyoid occasioned by their loss need not be enlarged upon. The earlier justices’ dockets, where preserved, furnish some yery interesting facts and suggestions as to the lives of the pioneers and the influences emanating therefrom and projected into the currents of progress. - Aname long forgotten appears on an old docket. Instantly it becomes the rallying point of memories and a multitude of incidents begin to ‘cluster around it in the vision of a cotemporary, The title of a cause—names of party and nature of suit, justice. constable and jurors—all act as powerful search lights through the darkening mists of the ofden time and persons, doings, events of the long ago come and pass in review before us,

In 1839, Dr. John H. G. Shoe, said ’to have been the first resident physician of Sparta township sued John Johns in *‘Debt oh Account’’ before Thomas H. Wilson, J. P. (afterward associate judge of the circuit and representative in the legislature—father of Hon. Henry D. %Vilson, present judge of the Elkhart eircuit court) Dr. Shoe’s account was somewhat unique for a physician’s statement being as follows: : : May the 15th toone boe ..... ccccusvr.n. .. 81,25 onpadupi il Dhiie e 0 MayaStheaster efl i=i- Ig. .. o 0 2 i o To old secount - calomel at Solinger’s.... 25 Toextracting tooth ...1......0iii1al i) 85 ; : $3.50 The day of trial, Nov. 30, 1839, Johns filed a set-off to the amount of $14.183 Three witnesses on each side were examined. Justice Wilson’s entry of. judgment reads as follows: *‘lt is considered that the defendan recover of the plaintiff the sum of three hundred dollars and eighty-seven and a half cents with the interest thereon at the rate of six_per centum per annum until paid with costs of suit taxed at three dollars 483 cents— TroMas H. WiLson, J. P.”” Only forty-eight words including signature. a model judgment entry. Dr. Shoe appealed, but there being no circuit court records it cannot be related how the case was tinally decided. John C. Johnson was the constable and Mitchel McClintick, John Spear, Delila Woodruff, Richard H. Neal and Willis Spear claimed witness fees 25 cents each.

On the morning of the 18th day of January, 1840, in Sparta township, Mitchell McClintic shot an ox belonging to William Prentiss. Prentiss sued McClintic in ‘trespass before Justice Wilson stating damages at $5O. Nelson Prentiss was attorney (agent) for the plaintiff; G, W. A, Royce for defendant. Royce for the defendant filed & ““demurrer’’ to the declaration. We give the verbatim for the benefit of modern lawyers as follows, ‘‘And the defendant comes at this time and pleads to the cause of action and demurs against said charge and further objects to said declaration for the following reasons to-wit: That said declaration is not definite in the expression of language as to what kind of an ox was shot and that said Wilham Prentiss is not authorized to bring said suit and further if there was a cause of action it accrued in the name of the state and not in the name of William Prentiss.”’”

After two adjournments the matter was settled without trial, MecClintic paying $l5 for the ox and all costs which amounted to $l2. The final adj us&ment took place Feb. 12,1840. No evidence appears as to the animus of the act or merits of the case, unless the suggestion in the ‘‘demurrer’’ that it was a ‘‘state’’ case may be taken as a confession that it was done ‘o’ purpose.”’ Lo G R Albion, Ind,, Aug. 17, 1895,

The object of the law that compels the publication of township trustees’ reports is to enable the taxpayers to ascertain for what purposes their money is spent and incidentally to preyent unscrupulous trustees from paying exorbitant prices for the benefit of a ‘rake-off.” The law is a good one, and the expenditure of a reasonable amount of money for the publication of the reports would be a good investment. But what. proﬁtet% 1t a people if these same publications are padded to twice their reasonable length in order to bring publishers excessive fees—just about double the proper amount?

We are told of a Noble county trustee who several years ago settled with the county, paying over considerable more money than he should. At the last settlement in St. Joseph county a trustee thought he was agout $4,500 short and so informed his bondsmen, but a close inquiry into his accounts placed him ahead nearly $3OO. Another case is reported from LaGrange where a trustee had a week’s sweat over his accounts. When he went to report to the commigsioners he found himself short over $lOO, and after laboring over the matter without satisfactory results, he went to LaGrange and submitted the matter to the andi--tor, who found he was a creditor to the amount of $219 instead of a debtor, There was another happy

| And They Did Not Do a Thing, The Topeka Giants came over for a game of ball last Friday and they got it. |Assisted by two Lagrange players, Leib and Cory, the gawpatch boys were in good trim and started in to winithe §ame. Cory of LaGrange, who Flﬂyg ball anywhere from catcher to eft fielder, occupied the box for the Giants while Shobe and Teal filled the points for the home team. ; The game started off in a way that looked as if it would prove an interesting gontest, the score at the end of the third inning standing 3 to 2in faver of Topeka; but here the fun began—that is the errors broke loose and the Ligonier boys got a big lead. Stutzman’s home run in the fifth inning gave the boys another boost, but all hope was lost when the other side came to bat and by an exhibition of ‘‘yellow”’ fielding l«;nd execrable muffs nine runs were piled up in the Topeka column. From this time on it was a succession of roc*y ball playing and bad umpiring by ¢‘Dad’ Carr who iried to judge the plays, and when the last man was out Togeka had the best of it by a score of 15 tio 13. _ i Iz" is safe to say that the Ligonier club never put up a poorer game of ball, only three players—Stutzman, Shobe and Teal—acquitting themselyes with any credit. If the battex:iy had had any support the game could have easily been won.
