AT MERCY. OF MATAAFANS. People of Apia, Samoa, Imperiled by Powers’ Order for Cessation of Hostilities, Wellington, N. Z., May 3. — Advices from Samoa indicate that the instructions received from the powers to cease hostilities make the situation in the islands very serious, as the Mataafa rebels hold the main food supplies and are again near the munieipality of Apia, The correspondent of Reuter’s News agency thinks it is evident that the home authorities have misunderstood the situation in Samoa. The Germans and rebels are jubilant and claim a vic: tory over the British and American forces. The correspondent says that unless the rebels are made to submit the difficulties will remain unsolved, Laid in Arlington Cemetery.

| _ Correct You Are Mr. Murry. The attempt of an advertising agency in Chicago to get a $l6 advertising space for the Elkhart Carriage Co. in these columsn for $5, because that rate is accepted by other country weekly papers, is not the only refusal of this paper to give away space to foreign concerns. When the earning capacity of these columns becomes liable to get too far beyond the point of merely a decent living for the publisher who labors from 10 to 14 hours a day, our space will be given away to more deserving concerns than an advertising agency whose greatest effort is to become the agent of both the advertiser and publisher at the at the same time—and skin 'em both. If there ever was a fraud with which the country néwspaper must contend it is the ‘"advertistng agent.”” There are exceptions, but they are rare. The agent usually works up a busi‘ness proposition with an advertiser—say like the Elkhart concern, on the basis of placing their ad in the best mediums. This calls for the best price from the advertiser, of course. Then the agent goes after the newspapers which the people read and offers these publications rates on the basis of a price accepted by the ‘“‘hangers on”’ in the newspaper business—fellows who don’t know why they are palming off liver-pad, bric-a-brac sheets on their readers instead of following something more suitable to their inclinations. We say the agent either bases his rates on- that whieh these alleged newspaper suckers swallow hook, line, bob, and pole, or upon the basis of circulation of some metropolitan newspaper in which the agent does not intend to advertise at.all. It isnearly time for the country publishers to make their own prices on their own goods instead of allowing ‘‘agents” to run their business for them.—Nappanee News. We were offered the same advertisement at $7.50 but we absolutely refused it. This would have been about 38 cents an inch or about one fifth of our regular rates. This low price didnot seem to deter others from accepting the offer. It is this kind of rate cutting that demoralizes the business and gives profitable picking to the F. B. White Company and such kindred firms.

Get All Of The Timber,.

J. Peabodv and the Boston firm, who are cutting the $60,000 lot of walnut timber on the Woods tractin Wabash county recently sold by Straus Bros. & Co. of this city, are exercising care and economy in the work that would astonish the farmers who owned the many thousands of acres of timber land twenty-five years ago, could they but witness it. At that ‘time the magnificent black walnut, which grew iu profusion along the ‘Wabash and Mississinewa rivers, had little value above oak or poplar, and millions of rails of this wood are vet in the fences of the connty Instead of felling the walnut trees in the usual manner, cutting two or three feet above the ground,the exporters dig carefully about the roots of each forest giant and sever the roots far from the stump, leaving the tree practically intact. Every pound of the timber being saved, the stump, ‘which a few years ago was counted ‘worthless, being worked into costly veneer. 1t will take two years to re‘move all the timber from the 1, 100iacre tract. . _ | - Situation Summed Up - Frank L. Thomas, of Plymouth, 'who is up at the Klondike, says he is getting a dollar an hour for eight hours work ; that up to March 17, the time the letter;was mailed, there had ‘;not been a time since last fall when ‘the mercury was above zero; that ‘there are ten times too many people; ‘that these will be reduced to about ‘normal number as soon as the boats give a chance for the surplns to get away, and that the government there is rotten. : : 5 1899 Base Ball Schedule.

-~ Increase of Insanity. If the ratio of insanity continues to | increase the indications are that two centuries hence, this will be a nation of Itnaties and each and every town and township will be supplied with an asylum. We read that all the insane hospitals in Indiana are crowded to their utmost capacity and many of the patients in éach of them are now foreed to sleep on -cots in the corriders. Hundreds of patients for whose admission to the asylum application has been made, are detained imr jails, poor houses and under private restraint awaiting vaeancies in the hospitals. The late legislature provided for additions to Longeliff at Logansport and the eastern asylum at Richmond, but already there are more patients with applications filed, than can be accomimodated in the additions.
