THIURSDAY, OCT. 12, 1899,

THE iron trust is getting in its work. Tast week the Ligonier Carriage Company was compelled to pay an advance of 150 per cent for a carload of buggy tires over the price of the last car-load delivered. Great is the power of the trust and the tariff.

The buggy manufacturers will be compelled to raise the price of their work, or cut:6n wages. Either the consumer or the laborer must suffer. (ireat is the trust, but greater is protection for the trust. :

THE Indianapolis News /says that

“one of the amazing things in life is the readiness with which decent people believe evil of their friends and neighbors, and go about making charges and indulging in innuendo and malicious accusation,without the slightest ground but his own evil imagining, against any man, and vithin a week that insinuation will have grown even in the talk of the vietim’s neighbors and fellow christians into a circumstantial story of baseness and corruption.”

SOoME means ought to be provided for tztk&ing care of the incurable insane in this state. When it is ascertained that persons undergoing treatment at the hospital for the insane cannot be cured they are returned to the county from which they were sent. They are then generally taken to jail or the poor house, where it is impossible to' give them the care whieh their condition demands. The number thus returned seems to be on the increase. It is- quite probable that when the next legislature meets that body will be asked to provide a place for the keeping of these unfortunate individuals. — South Bend Times.

THE triumphant re-election of Thomas Taggart as mayor of Indianapolis is a victory well earned. A T large part of the city o = ticket is also elected, [ hgESO) leaving the ' adminis"3{?{?“ W' tration of the city ofLR fices for the next two e vears in the hands of the Demoecrats. The republican organization was superb.- - Money was spent with a lavish hand and all of the tricks of sharp and unserupulous politicians were used to defeat Mr. Taggart. “His superb organization and great personal popularity won for him a notable victory. His plurality is-about 800. Long live Thomas Taggart! THe death of Judge Dawson of Fort Wayne has given Governor Mount another opportunity to make a republican judge. He has selected W. J. Vesey as the successor to Judge Dawson, after a warm contest, begun before the dead jurist had been laid in his coffin. H. C. Hanna was Vesey’s leading opponent, but it is said that he stood no show from the start. The strong pointin Ves-ey’s-favor lay in the fact that he is at the head of the republican machine in this distriet. He is an. active Republican'and has been chairinan of the Allen county committee for several years and is now district chairman. Hisreward has come. Fie was born in Lagrange county and lias been a resident of Fort Wayne for twenty years, and is considered a good lawyer. ° e

THE POWER of- money and active influence in high places, is besg shown in the turning loose of J. E. Mullaney, ex-chief of detectives of detectives of the L. S. & M. S. railway force, charged with shooting Policeman Christensen at South Bend in May, 1897. The killing of the policeman was ‘a cold-blooded, premeditated murder and there was Lhardly a shadow of doubt but that Mullaney fired the shot that ended the career of an excellent officer. He was tried at LaPorte and the evidence was overwhelmingly against Lim, but the jury disagreed. Again he was tried, and again,a juror was found who - did not believe in his guilt. From time to time the third trial has been put off‘and now comes the finale. It is such trials as these, such miscarriages of justice, that organize courts under Judge Lynch, and give lynchers an excuse.

A FEW years ago when Grover ~Lleveland suggested the return of the rebel flags, the republican press became frantic. Indecent attacks were made upon the chief executive of the nation. He was called a rebel sympathizer and the vocabulary of the gutter snipe was exhausted in his abuse. How meek and lowly these self-same fellows now appear in the light of current events! Last- week _the républican governor of the great state of Indiana left the cares and duties of his office to visit Texas to emphasize the return of a flag captured by a gallant Indiana regiment during one of the hottest engagements of the war. We would respectfully call the attention of Reub Williams of the Warsaw Times, Charley Haas of the Wabash Plain Dealer, and others to this act of treasop. But a few months ago these ‘‘trooly loil” exponents of unadulterated patriotism were tearing their shirts over the bare suggestion that a battle flag be returned. .

Fish Law Violators Caught.

An important capture was made at Lake Wawasee about 10:30 o’clock Saturday night, when four fish violators were taken completely by surprise by the deputy fish commissioner and caught in the act of spearing fish. For some time past it has been well known that the law was not being respected and that hundreds of fish were being taken from the water in a manner contrary tolaw. Deputy Fish Commissioner Gowing was appealed to and he promised to give the matter his immediate attention. Saturday afternoen he organized a party consisting of three persons in addition to himself- and proceeded to Lake Wawasee in a very quiet manner. Near Jones’ they encountered four men in a boat just as they were about to push away from the shore. The quartette had a jack light and a fish spear. In a sack was found their catch—thirteen fish. After being taken to Jones’ hotel they gave their names as Salem Darr, Solomon Creek; Jesse Rookstool, Benton; Felix Grimes and Bert. Grimes, Ligonier. ‘After being fully identified they were released and affidavits will be filed against them this week. It appears that a man named Hire was also engaged in spearing, but friends notified him of the presence of the commissioner’s party, and he made haste to clear out of the locality. The officers have determined to prosecute all violators of the law,and people who cannot fish legally must expect to be called upon to pay fines. —@Goshen Democrat.

An Interesting Trip.

Col. and Mrs. A. W. Lyon returned from their Texas trip last Monday, after a most pleasant experience. The reception of the Indiana party at every point where its train stopped was surprising to all. All were greatly impressed with Texas hospitality. On the way home the party was received with great demonstration at various points. At Fort Worth, carriages took them to the hotel where the mayor of the town delivered over ‘‘the keys of the city”’ to the visitors. At Paris, Texas, where a negro was burned at the stake a few months ago, one of the most enthusiastic receptions was held. The Indiana party marched to carriages under an arch of United States and Confederate banners woven together. After dinner at the hotel Governor Mount made a speech and there were various responses. Mr. Lyon says that Governor Mount was most enthusiastically received. His speech at the ceremony returning the flags was especially fitting to the occasion, and was cheered to the echo. He made several other able addresses.

~ Truancy Law Informat*on. A number of parents having children of school age, have inquired as ro the length of time children are to be in school. The requirements are set out in the following paragragh: The new truant law requires all children between the ages of six and fourteen inclusive, who have not finished the common school course and who are physically and mentally able, to attend the entire term. However, if a child either 13 or 14 years of age, is actively and regularly employed for his own support or, the support of those dependent upon him he shall not be required to attend school for a longer period than twelve weeks consecutively.

Miss Mayme Wertheimer received first prize, a beautiful curio piece, for guessing the greatest -number of songs, while Miss Della Sax received tfie booby prize.

THE BOYS GET TOGETHER.

The Reunion of the Survivors of the Gallant 129th Ind. Vols., as Seen by Ma- . jor E. G. Melendy—A Very ) - Pleasant Affair. .

At Ligonier, Noble county, Indiana on October Hth, 1899 was held the thirty-first annual reunion of the 129th Regiment Indiana Volunteers. The 129th was organized in the fall of 1863, in what is known as the old Tenth district, with the exception of “Old K,"” which was picked up from different points of the state, and did not join the rest of the regiment until'about the time it entered upon the Atlanta campaign. The regiment left Indiana about the last of March, 1864, and was transported to Nashville by railroad. ¥rom there it immediately took up its march from Chattanooga, Tenn.; passed through there and went on up toward Knoxville as far as Charlestown, where it remained a few days, then returned to Cleveland, where it tuaned to the left, joining the line of advance at Red Clay, Ga., and entered upon that one-hundred days campaign of continuous battle that ended only when ‘“Atlanta ours and fairly won.”” Being attached to the 23rd corps it participated in all the battles in which the 23rd corps was engaged, the most notable being, Resaca, Burnt Hickory, Dallas, Lost Mountain, Culp House, Decatur, Strawberry Run, Love Joy Station, Franklin, Nashville; winding up with the battle of Wise’s Crossroads, near Kingston, N. C., on the Bth, 9th and 10th of March, 1865. - The most desperate battle in which it was engaged, being Franklin, Tenn., Nov. 30th 1864, where, according to the confederate report, Hood lost 7,834 men the first twenty minutes of the battle. The 129th occupied a position at the right center, thus bringing it in the thickest of the fight. It was in front of Company A, that Gail Adams and his horse both fell while towering above the heads of the Union men. At the top of the works, while the first charge was at its hottest, and the works up to the left of the 129th at the Columbia Pike, were in the possession of the enemy, the 111th Ohio, at the left of the 129th, broke and left the works, but with ‘their fiank thus exposed,; not a man of the 129th turned his back on the foe, and in justice to the 111th Ohio, be it said that their leaving the works was but temporary ; they only fell back a few vards when they rallied and returned to the works before they were occupied by any of the enemy, and held them until the final withdrawal of the army about midnight, to the north side of the river.

The survivors of the old regiment, lack the cheek to blow their own bugle too strongly in timmes of peace. The most théir will say is, that as a regiment, every man did his whole duty and was always ready to go where ordered, and claims no position over any other of the grand array of brave regiments that composed the Union army. But many of the old boys of-the 129th had to smile when they read the ‘Leader’ of October Hth, especially when they looked upon the picture of the *-30th regiment, leaving camp Neven, Ky. for the battlefield of Shiloh’’ and marching along between a line of trees loaded with green foliage. The fact is, the 30th left Camp Neven more than three months before the battle of Shiloh, and moved with the rest of Buel’s army to Green River, Ky., went into camp and remained in Camp Wood, near Murfeeesborough, until Februgry, and there was’nt any green foliage on the trees then. The writer knows, for at that time he was a member of Company A, 29th Ind., and in brigade with the 30th. The historian of the 30th, while a brave and patriotic soldier, must have been & ‘‘reernit.”’ :

The sth day of October 1899 was one of those beautiful antumn days that appéar. to have been made on purpose for the occasion of the 3lst annual reunion of the 129th regiment Indiana Volunteers. ‘

The old boys(?) of the regiment began arriving on the afternoon of the 4th and by noon of the next day they were present in force, and proceeded to occupy the beautiful city of Ligonier, which was surreandered to them without terms. The forenoon was given over to the reeeption and registering of the old comrades at the G. A. R. hall, where headquarters were established. A bountiful dinner, prepared by the ladies of the M. E. and Disciple churches, was served at 12 o’clock sharp. At two o’clock p. m., the comrades were called to order in G. A. R. hall by Paul A. Joray, of Co. F., the president. The roll being called by the sciecretiu;y, the following answered ‘‘here!’

Audience BERBHCHON (500 SL es it e s To mention especially any particular one who appears on the program might not be just the thing to do, where all did so well, yet the violin solos of Miss -Mate Sack, the address of welcome by Mayor Christie, the quartette, the vocal solo by Miss Gola Baker and the recitations deserve more than a passing notice. As for the preachers, it is expected that they will excel at all times and under any and all circumstances.

The reception tendered to the members of the 129th regiment by the citizens of Ligonier was gratefully recognized by - those present and strengthens each year the belief that the privations endured in camp and march, on battle field and skirmish line, during the days of the '6o’s were not in vain, and that a grateful people feel honored by the opportunity to contribute t-ovéard making these fraternal reunions| of the old boys a mile post in their declining years. .

To Comrade (cardner of Ligonier, who had charge of the commissary department, too much credit cannot be given for his efforts in making this thirty-first reanion a success. But where all did so well everybody should receive the praise that/is freely extended by the old boys, who by their conduct on such occasions strive to merit the treatinent acecorded, and whose daily lives are such that when the final order for muster out comes, they will each and all be ready to worthily accept the invitation. *Come up higher.”’

The recollections of . the courteous treatment received -at Ligonier by the survivors of the 129th on Oct. 5, 1899, inspire every one of the old boys present on that occasion to reverently unite in saying, ‘‘God bless the eity and people of Ligonier.” Fraternally, Y PHE 129TH.

The Race Meetings.

The closing race meetingst given at the fair grounds last Friday and Saturday were not as well attended as they should have been and as the sport deserved. Mr. Summers had arranged a fine program and it was well carried out, but the ecrowd was not on hand to enjoy it. Friday the green trot was pulled off and was won by Lord Dunmore. The summary was as follows:
