TR R O : /THE Chicago Tribune continues to " publish voluminous accounts of the way our soldiers were starved and ill-treated in th® camps and fields, and_ it pours hot shot daily into the war department and at all who are responsible for the trouble. :

OuUR people are to be congratulated

upon b(—ein;g; able to meet Hon. Hugh

Dougherty, the democratic candidate - for state treasurer and to hear himin a political speech. Mr. Dougherty is a democratic banker, who made speeches, and good -ones, too, in fa- - vor of bimetallism. He will present the issues of the present campaign in a way-that cannot- help but be in‘teresting to all who may be fortunate enough to hear him. He will speak at city hall on Saturday evening, October Bth. e L

THE republican party was successful upon a political issue known as the money question. Up to the pres-

ent time it has failed absolutely to ~take any action upon that question, - but on the contrary the extra session . of congtéss was called for the purpose of bringing prosperity through - burdening the people with higher taxation. The Dingley bill has proven to be one of the most transcendent failures for the objectsought to be obtained that has ever been known in thé annals of American history. - o : i

- THE trouble between fhe republican factions - in the LaGrange-Elk-hart judicial eircuit over who shall be recognized as the candidate for clrc}ui_t prosecutor, is likely to end in tl:e ‘courts. The regular convention called at Shipshewana to noniinate a candidate, got into a squabble -and adjourned, but a rump affair named Sims, an Elkhart lawyer, for the place. His nowmination has been reterned to the clerks of both counties, in regular ferm, -as the republican candidate and his friends are insistirg that his name shall go-upon the ticket.

~ For eight years the Republicans have controlled the city council and school board, and barely nothing was done for thée north side. It was.a republican ecity council that stopped proceedings that would have led to a crossing over the Lake Shore tracks on Cavin street, but it was a democratic mayor whojrefusedjto carry out ‘the scheme that would have forever estopped the city from forcing a crossing.. It has ‘been-but a few weeks since the democratic majority has been directing affairs, but already Republicans are trying to make pelitical capital -because the city council and school board are not bringing about what the other fellows did not do in eight years. This -dodge will hardly work. -

IN WHAT must appear to the natives of Cuba an incomprehensibly short space of time a transformation has been made in the city of Santiagoy which places it high above the level of any other Cuban city, and almost classes it with the cities of the nation whose flag now waves over it. Under the administration of General Wood the city has been cleaned, the sewage- system has been' improved, medical districts

have been marked out for the proper care of the sick and dispensaries established, the standard of the public schools has been raised and the sal-

aries of the teachers increased, and arrangements are being made to improve the harbor in the interests of ‘sanitation, this. being the one great defect under which ‘the city labors. . As a result of these measures, the death rate has fallen from seventy to twenty a month, and the general. - health conditions have improved on all sides. A greater degree of confidence in the future and in themselves is displayed by the people, better order is preserved, more ambition and enterprise are displayed, business is improved and the whole - eity has taken on the bustle and animiation of an American municipality. Itisalla splendid commentary upon American methods and upon the energy of General Wood, whose ~ fitness fer the’ %ost i 8 thus démonstrated, and with just %ride_.we mafr point to Santiago as the first result - of our interference in the affairs of

THE Bulletin, an independent paper published at Aurora, Ind., is getting an extended reputation in this partof the state asa joker. That last one was a hummer, indeed. ,

A MAN who puts in a good share of his time abusing Democrats and democratic candidates, and still pretends to be a Democrat, cannot expect many favors at the hands of the party.: 4 :

THOUGH nearly 100,000 volunteers ‘have been sent hoine to be mustered out, over 100,000 soldiers remain in the various camps of the country, sheltered only by light tents. Winter is approaching, but the war department, so far as known to the publie, has not made any provision for the adequate shelter of the army. A substantial hospital with 1,000 beds -has been erected at Fortress Monroe, and the camp at Montauk will be supplied with permanent winter quarters for the sick and wounded. The season of chilly weather, when heated quarters for the soldiers are needed, is already at hand. The soldiers who are to be kept in the service for emergencies and for garrison duty in Cuba and elsewhere should have shelter which will protect them from the frosty nights and chilling rains of autumn, but there is ‘the same delay in providing these accommodations that left the hospitals for many weeks without proper supplies for the sick soldiers. The present indications are that the soldiers in the tents will suffer severely from cold within the next few weeks, and when the country and the volunteers begin to complain there will come from the war department the same old story that compi'aint»s are exaggerated, and that so much was to be done that all the needs of the soldiers could not be provided at once. But there is not the slightest excuse for letting the soldiers suffer from cold and rains. There has been plenty of time to provide adequate shelter from the inclement fall weather. No claim can be made that unexpected contingencies arose in this case. e

Supposed Shipshewana Bank Rolgﬁbe’r: Chicago police have arrested/Thos. Sharlau, alias Kelly, Morrissey and Murphy, says the Elkhart Review. Sharlau is suspected of complicity in a bank robbery at Shipshewana on Nov. 3, 1897, and the sheriff of LaGrange county went through here to Chieago thig morning to secure the prisoner. The bank, which was the property of Hezekiah Davis, was entered by robbers, who stole $3,150 in money and $12,000 worth of bonds, notes and mortgages. The safe blowers then stole a hand car, rode six miles to Middlebury, threw the car into ariver, and walked across thie country to Bristol where all trace of them: was lost, except as stated in the Review " about that time, it was believed that three men seen walking toward town just east of Elkhart were the guilty parties.. .It was thought for some time that the gang, which was also suspected: of the Wakarusa robbery, made this city their rendezvous. It was concluded that the gang went to Chicago and the police made a vigilant search. If Sharlau is one of the robbers two others are yet to be found, for the robbery is supposed to be the work of three men. Late in November Collins Houchin, who was tried for his sanity in the detention hospital in Chicago, told that Sharlau, under the name of Morrisey, with Frank Miller and Frank Johnson, committed the Shipshewana robbery. They had promiged to give him part of the plunder and broke their agreement, he Said. On Houchin’s evidence ‘the three were indicted in Goshen last June and ecirculars with their descriptions were sent all over the country. Itis thought Miller and Johnson are hiding in Chicago. -

Some Significant Figures.

It is said that the Elkhart-Goshen-Kendallville plug yielded the Lake Shore company $20,000 from July 1, 1897, to July 1, 1898.; Shis revenue will be lost to the Lake “Shore after the completion of the inter-urban line between Goshen and Elkhart. The company has signified its intention of discontinuing the plug in that event, as expertence has demonstrated that steam railways cannot successfully compete with electrie lines, whiech have the advantage of frequent trips, low fare and stops at any point on the lihe. W, R. C. Convention. Stansbury W. R. C., No. 164, Ligonier, entertained the convention of district No. 12, on Friday, Sept. 16. The delegates and visiting members ‘began to arrive Thursday and were taken to their respective places to be entertained while .in their midst. A reception was given in the evening in honor of the occasion which was pleasantly spent in exchanging greetings and making new acquaint‘ances. On Friday morning the convention was called to order by Mrs. Jeannette McLean, president of the entertaining .corps, who introduced Clarinda Rogers, distgiet president, who presided. A short address of welcome was made by Mrs. Palmer, Ligonier, followed .by Rev. Musson, which wag beautifully responded to by Amanda Edsel, of Fort Wayne. The business of the econvention was then taken up and transacted. Just before adjournment for dinner the %ix.a.rd announced that Mrs. Agnes itt, past national president, was in waiting. Business .was guspended and Mrs. Hitt was escorted into the convention amid the strains of martial music. After customary greetings the convention adjourned for dinner. . S

. In the afternoon the entertaining corps exemplified the ritual in a very beautiful manner and was highly congratulated by Mrs. Hitt, and retired amid applause, Following was reading of the report of the national convention, hefd at Cincinnati, by Mrs. Palmer, which was received with applause. The last business of the convention was the election of Mrs. Palmer as distriet president and selecting the place for the next meeting, which will be held in Calumbia City. Great credit is due the ladies of Ligonier for their kind hospitality, which will be remembered and cherished by the members of distriet No. 12, whose motto is F. C. &L. , IsABELL NEAL, Albion, Ind.

A Noble Woman Dead. Last Fridav, after a short and !)a-in-less illness, Mrs. Catharine M. Casey died at her home on West Third street, surrounded by her children and friends. She had been ailing but a few days and her death was a peaceful and quiet ending of a long and well-spent life. - She realize that her time had come, and she welecomed the death angel as only a consistent and constant christian can. e Born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1823, she spent her girlhood amid the scenes of her native country. At the early age of fifteen she married Michael Casey, and four years later, with her t\?'o small children, she started for the new world with her husband. After a brief stay in the east the small family came west, ar-

The next year they came to this county, settling on a farm two miles east of this city, where many happy and prosperous years were spent, until 1864, when Mr. Casey died, leaving her with a large family of children. Soon after the death of her husband she removed te'this city, where §he. has since resided—a hospitable neighbor, an attentive aned loving mother and. a good, kind-hearted christian woman S Ten children were born to her and seven of these survive: Timothy Casey of Michigan City; John Casey, Wm. Casey, Jas. D. Casey and Mrs. Patrick Cass of this city; P. H. Casey of South Bend, and Miss Kate Casey of Indianapolis. She was ever interested in the welfare of her family and gave them all the advantages possible. Being an ardent Catholic and a devout christian, she gave her religious duties much mstention, but her great love was in her family.

The latter years of her life were happy in the love and care that came from the willing hands of her children who anticipated her wants and cared for her at all times. :

- No woman in Ligonier was held in higher esteem by her neighbors and her old friends, and her. funeral last Sunday was one of the largest ever held from the Catholic church in this city. The floral decorations were most elegant. The funeral services were impressive, and were under the direetion of Rev. Father Boeckelman of Elkhart; who was for years Mrs. Casey’s beloved pastor. He was assisted by Rev. Father Lauer of this city. 'The interment was at the Ligonier cemetery. . .

Obituary

The following obituary, taken from the Western Spirit of Paola, Kansas, relates to the daughter of a former resident of this vicinity. Mr. Lewis Smalley of this place, and sister, Mrs. Ira Myers of Syracuse, were in Kansas at.the time and attended the funeral # .

Wilda Smalley-Boone died at the home of her parents, Mr. snd Mrs. Clebe Smalley. Her death, though daily expected for some time, was a severe shock. She was born in Ligonier, Indiana, December 29, 1876, and was yet a mere child when she came here with her parents. Here she grew to womanhood, a loving and lovable girl. She will be remembered by her teachers and schoolmates as always being an obedient, studious and Kkind schoolmate and pupil. At the age of fourteen she was granted a certificate, but being of a quiet nature her love for home and domestic life was stronger than the desire for battling with the world and she remained at home until her marriage, which took place November 11, 1896, to Wm. Boone. who had waiting a neat, cozy home in the east part of town, where they lived until six months ago, when on March 3d, the young mother was led away from the little white casket in which ‘were the remains of their six-months-old baby, Maude. :

This was their first grief, and since that time Mrs. Boone has gradually grown weaker. Though confident in her own mind that she was too far gone with consumption to ever again enjoy the blessings of good health, she was cheerful, often talking and planning for the future. At 4o’clock Tuesday morning she asked for every member of the family. After informing them that she was going to die she bade them all a fond farewell. So, at 3:30, Tuesday morning, September 13, Wilda Boone went, where suffering is no more, leaving a husband, father, mother, sister, brother and many relatives and friends, who ‘will always feel that there is a vacancy which never can be filled. The funeral services were held at the home of her parents, conducted by Rev. 8. L. Chase, and at 5 o’clock on . Wednesday afternoon her remains were placed in Oak Grove, | -

'~ An Interesting Meeting., - ' On last Sunday morning the United Brethren Sunday School was somewhat surprised by ' having present both the new and old pastors of the church. Rev. G. F. Byrer made a few well-chosen remarks in which he referred to his pastorate of five y'efirs at this place; of the kindness and goodness shown to himself and family. At the close of his remarks in his original and happy manner he introduced to the school the new pastor, Rev. L. O. Oyler, who spoke a few words in which he congratulated Rev. Byrer on the work he had done in the years he had labored here. After the Sunday School was dismissed a time of general handshaking took place and a personal introduction of Rev.Oyler to the members of the school.

- Rev. Oyler preached both morning and evening and a goodly number of people paid close attention to the very able sermons delivered by him. Although Rev. Oyler is a new man at this place, he has -already gained a place in the affections of the people. | : ' In going from this place to his new labors, Rev. Byrer leaves behind a work that no one need be ashamed of, a i‘@'ork that proved him to be a man of sound judgment and of strict adherence to the word of God in his prenehing. Rev. Byrer spent much of his time in his study and the sermons he preached proved that it was for a pyrpose. He always had time.- to greet his acquaintances whenever he chanced to meet them. Rev. Byrer’'s work here is well spoken of by all and is highly appreciated by his- church. The departing minister and his family leave Ligonier with the esteem -and good will of the people, and many regret their going away. Rev. Byrer and family leave on Saturday for Warsaw where the pastor takes up work in his new field. =~

That. which is Ligonier’s loss is Warsaw’s gain. R. E. TROPER,

On motion, Gilbert Sherman, of Coldwater, Mich., was elected .president; Jonas Bowman, vice-president; K. B. Gerber, secretary; J. C. Zimmerman, treasurer. S

- An address, reviewing the operations of the Regulators in 1858, and including the recital of ;the law authorizing such organization, was delivered by President Sherman, which spoke of many thrilling incidents in those exciting jand perilous times. Disecussion of various incidents and business of the meeting followed. - Upon motion of C.gV. Inks the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to take from our Society one of our most active members, in the person of Capt. Joseph E. Braden. Therfore, be it e ResoLveED, That we bow with humble submission to the decree of nature and our inevitable fate, and we sincerely mourn with his family and friends. =~ =5 ; " Members present: Gilbert Sherman, - Coldwater, Mich.; Squire Sherman, Kendallville ; Jonas Bowman, Aaron Mawhorter, Charles North, Platt Bassett, J.

Post for the use of the hall in which our meetings are held. Also for their attendance from abroad thanks were extended such members. -

On motion the session adjourned to meet in Kendallville on the second Wednesday in September, 1899. GILBERT SHERMAN, Pres’t E. B.

The Democrats of Elkhart township are requested to meet at Wawaka next Saturday, October 1, 1888, at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. J. B. SMIITH, - '. : Committeman. / by Married. g Mr. Michael D. Wurtsbaugh and Mrs. Alice J. MecDowell were united in marriage at the U. B. parsonage on Tuesday evening, Sept. 27, by Rev, G. F. Byrer. That they may have a happy and successful life is the wish of their many friends. Joseph F. Geiger and Miss Vivian Pollock were united in marriage at the bride’s home in this city on last Saturday afternoon, Sept. 24, by Rev. G. F. Byrer. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Geiger of near Albion, and the bride is a daughter ‘of Mr. and Mrs, Cyrus Pollock of this Flace. Both families are well known n this vicinity,and the many friends of the bride and groom unite in W{Sh-‘ ing them a long and prosperous life. . An Excoilen't Innovation. . Rev. J. A. Beatty, of the M. K. church, made the request last Sunday evenin%, previous to the commencement of his discourse, that the ladies remove their hats, and, bK the majority of thoge present, the request was cheerfully complied with. The usual lady’s head-gear prevents those |in the rear seats from catching a glance at the speaker, and as the practice has been in vogue for some time in other churches with satisfaction to all concerned, there is mno | reason why it should not be in, Warsaw. The request is a reasonable one, surely, and we trust Mr. Beatty will meet with no difficulty in having the practice adnpted, or for that matter, let all the churches follow the rule,.—~Warsaw Times.
