IN AN effort to awaken patriotism the Indiana society of the Sens of the Revolution will ask the legislature to require the state to furnish a flag and flag-pole for every school house in the state, and that the flag be kept floating during school hours. Other gocieties similar to the Sons of the Revolution will be-asked to join issues with it in an effort to have more ebservances of a patriotic and social nature.

TaE Chicago Times-Herald goes squarely onrecord in favor of alonger presidential term. That paper says in a lengthy editorial on that subject: ¢ As for the term of office, that is, as Mr. Cleveland says, too short. We hardly get over one general election debauch before the next one is on us with its grand new parade of lies, distortions and humbugs. In the business world everyone says that nothing can be done until after the election, and whether there is.any sense in the notion or not, it is accepted as an indisputable truth, and has the effect of producing the conditions which it imagines to be inevitable.” NEXT Monday James A. Mount will lay aside the responsibilities of the governorship and assume his place among the sturdy, substantial citizens of our great commonwealth. The people can well and truly say, ‘““Well done thou good' and faithful servant.” His administration of the office has been far from popular with the thick and thin politicians, of the dominant party, but the people at large have been pretty well satisfied with the way that Mr. Mount has managed things. It is given out that he will return at once to his farm in Montgomery county where he has a beautiful home. It is safe to say that he will be an active participant in contests to come. » EXTENDING the term of the president of the Ungted States to six years would, in the opinion yf thoughtful men generally, make a popular issue for the party disposed to take it up in good earnest and press it to a conclusion. Ex-President Cleveland recently presented some very strong arguments in support of this propo- ‘ gition. He is quite right in saying that a president can just about ‘‘get the hang” of things when the fourth year comes around and admonishes him to get ready to vacate or to engage in a contest for re-election. There is certainly no good reason why the president should be elected for a shorter term than that of senator.—South Bend Times. IN THE next congress the house of representatives will be composed of 287 lawyers, 50 business men, 23 farmers, 21 bankers, 21 journalists, eight politicians, seven doctors, six school teachers, five miners, two ministers, and one actor. It will be obseryved that as is usually the case, the representatives of the legal profession will be greatly in preponderance. In fact there are more lawyers than there are of all other occupations combined. Itis well that the number of politicians is not greater thanitis. In fact there is very little use for the professional politician in our law making body and their places could doubtless be filled more satisfactorily by good, substantial, honorable business men.

THE people can now get ready to pay tribute. The war between the great sugar and coffee trusts, that has been waged for over three years, is ended. Negotiations have been closed in New York and Chicago whereby the Arbuckles give up sugar refining and become dictators in the coffee trade, and Havemeyer will . quit coffee roasting. This gives the Arbuckles. complete control of the coffee trade of the country and the Havemeyers will dictate the price of sugar. During these years such an/ outcome has been predicted, and it has even been suggested that the whole fight was but a means to an end—the crushing out and absorbtion of the smaller concerns of the country. The fight between the two big companies making it impossible for the smaller concerns to stay out of either one or the other of the combinations. IN A lecture delivered in Plymouth church, Indianapolis, recently, Senator Dolliver of Towa, uttered some truths that deserve to be remembered. Among other things he remarked that the son of a poor man has a better chance to win suceess than ° the boy who knows that he is going to inherit wealth, and he advised parents whohave wealth to require their song to make a start for themselves, and to depend upon their own resources. To the man who has $lOO,000 to give hisson to make a start in life, he said, ‘“‘Stop and ponder awhile. If you give him the $lOO,OOO, ten chances to one the transaction will be marked by but one thing—the - boy will never make a start.”” The boy who is pressed doewn by poverty and who bewails his hard lot should take courage from the Towa senator’s remarks and make up his mind to - utilize the advantage which his circumstances afford him, instead of ~ envying the rich young man who has ~ no incentive to effort and whose ~ wealth serves only as a handicap in | Weiwsetinte. 0000000 e e :

- A Successful Fair. = The members of the Bippen Band are congratulating themselyes upon the successful outcome of their band fair, the closing on Saturday evening being especially interesting and profitable. The boys had arranged well for the big crowds that greeted them every night ef the week, but the jam and push of Saturday night was more than the most sanguine or enthusiastic promoter of the enterprise had expected. Over six hundred admissions were sold at the door,and many turned away rather &han attempt to gain admittance. The musical feature of the fair was more than interesting. The orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Frank Sack, gave nightly concerts, and several of our vocalists, among them Mrs. Lou J. Dunning, Mrs. F. G. Rees, and Mrs. S. J. Straus, added to the entertainment. The various booths were presided over by the young ladies and other friends of the band—a full complement of help being ever on hand to interest the visitors in the wares they had to dispose of. The guessing contests were all well patronized, thanks to the energy and stick-to-it-ivness of the promotors, and a pretty penny was realized upon many of the articles. The interesting contest of the fair was for the beautiful big doll, given to the most popular little Miss. The two leaders in the race, Dorothy Bourie and Gladys Cornelius, having many warm partisans in the big audience that witnessed the closing moments of the contest. The younger partisans vied with each other in their efforts to get votes for their favorite. When the votes were at last counted out it was found that little Miss Bourie had won by a vote of 289 to 170 for her nearest contestant, Gladys Cornelius. The others getting votes in the contest were Katharine Williams, Helen Jeanneret, Glendolyn Straus, Beatrice Kreager and several others. The next in interest was the voting for the most popular young lady. Here it was hard to choose, for all of the young people mentioned were handsome, popular and deserving. When the votes were counted at 10 o’clock it was a neck and neck race between several of the fair contestants, but the final count at 11 o’clock showed Miss Kate King the winner by a comfortable but uarrow plurality. Miss Crete Zink was her most formidable opponent. The vote in this ' contest was as follows: Miss Kate King, 134; Miss Crete Zink 113; Miss Anna Draper 43, and Miss Mabel Bourie 43. ‘ In the most popular gentleman, the fine cane and umbrella, did not stand much of a contest, and the voting was light. At the last moment the friends of R. B. MeKahan sprung his name as a dark horse,and he won out! defeating S. J. Williams, his leading opponent. by a marrow margin. In the guessing contests, Elmer E. Knepper put the number of seedsin the pumpkin at 667, and this being‘ the count the fine brass bed was his prize. Forrest Robbins, of the Banner Laundry, made a close guess on | the number of seeds in another pumpkin and got the barrel of flour. In this pumpkin there were 686 seeds. - The set of harness went to Mrs. Georgia Lynn, she guessing the number of articles in a big bottle, and the ‘watch was awarded to Alta Palmer, ‘a little Miss who did not miss in her estimate of the number of beans and other objects in another jar. Miss Edith Ochs held the lucky number in the drawing of the silver tea set, one of the best prizes of the fair. Albert Bordner and Charles Hart were a tie on the guess for the gun, and they were awarded it in partnership. Many others drew prizes and all seemed satisfied that they had been fairly treated and entertained. The big candle which is burning at Dunning & Son’s store will decide the contest for the big chair. The guesses are many and far between. We will give the result when the flame goes out. ' . : . The promoters of the enterprise are to be congratulated upon the successful and satisfactory conelusion of the affair. It was well managed and well patronized. The committees having the affair in charge worked hard to make it a success, and are entitled to a great-amount of credit for the successful outcome. The band will be in geod shape financially and the encouragement received will doubtless ‘insure a strong and permanent organizatjon. _

A Well Bred Horse,

Wm. Francisco, of Ligonier, Ind., was in the city New Year’s and purchased the standard bred stallion, Tycho, of John A, Foust. The horse is the best bred son of Jerome Eddy, who had a record of 2:1614. Tycho is a beautiful bay with no marks, 1614 hands high and weighs 1300. He has full mane and tail, intelligent, well set head and is well turned at every point. Tycho has the size, action and finish demanded by critical buyers of high class horses and as he has all the good points essential to a first class horse, he is especially valuable from the breeder’s standpoint. He has a record of 2:2814 and is one of the finest horses that ever appeared on our streets. The horse will be taken to Mr. Francisco’s stock farm near Ligonier. We congratulate him upon getting such a prize —Defiance, O.7Express. { Trackmasters Are Changed. The territory of the trackmasters on the Lake Shore has been changed with the resignation and retirementof Trackmaster Church, whose jurisdiction was from Chesterton west. Trackmaster Thede, whose jurisdiction was from Elkhart to Chesterton, has been given charge of the tracks from South Bend west, and John Werley has been given the tracks between Bryan and South Bend, with headquarters at Elkhart, his office being in the new station. The change is very gratifying to Mr. Werley, whose home has long been here, but his office has been at Kendallville.— Elkhart Review. ' Notice to Water Takers.

One Hundred Years Old. The home of Alonzo Poyser* northwest of the city was the scene of an interesting family reunion on New Year’'s day. It was also made more interesting from the fact that the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Boston Bowsher was celebrated and that nearly all of the living relatives of the old gentleman were present to enjoy the occasion. These meetings have been held annualy for a number of years, but this time the gathering was held at the old home of the Bowsher family. The old homestead that has been the abiding place for over a half a century, at least. A bountiful dinner was seryved, the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Poyser vieing with each other to make the day and visit long to be remembered. Boston Bowsher, whose picture we present, was born in Pickaway countv, Ohio, in the winter of 1800. In 1836 in company with his father and a large family, he came to this part 8 Wi shman MR R RRE RN .‘:‘_:i_..--.v-.;u,.:\,‘_ giR 3 \ E *1 s }{%% gt %\; i PEEBUERRAL NS RR R SRR RN SRR SR TAR R R el ¥ i L s. .

of Noble county, settling on the farm that now comprises the homestead. He was the oldest of 14 children and took an active part. in the developement of the new country and the incident responsibilities of the maintenance of such a large family. His father, Daniel Bowsher, was a man of energy and under his direction their new home was soon well established and they became a fixture in this part of the world. In 1839 the subject of this sketch was married to Sophia Koontwz and fourteen children were born to them. They have gone out into the world, all of them making a success of life and are the source of much: gratification to the old genteman in his declining years. .Mr. Bowsher has been one of the well known figures in Perry township for the past sixty years, always taking considerable interest in public affairs. In politics he has always been an uncompromising Democrat and he evinced much interest in politics until late years when his age made it impossible for him to exercise his prerogative. He is wonderfully preserved for a man of his age. He walks about the house and yard, and engages in conversation remembering many, if not all of the important events of his career. He enjoysa good smoke and nearly all of his life he has used the weed, contradicting the argument that tobacco shortens men’s lives.

Those present at the dinner were: Mrs. Martha Koontz of Wabash, Am--oos Bowsher and family of Topeka, Delvin Bowsher and Mrs. J. C. Bowsher of South Bend, Mrs. Sephas Bowsher of Monte Vista, Col.; Chas. Poyser, wife and daughter of Elkhart; Miss Jessie Bachelor, Topeka; Harty Shoup and wife, Topeka; Daniel Bowsher and wife, Waterford; Stephen Bowsher, Delwood, Mich.; Mrs. David Loy, Sidney Schlabaugh and wife, Miss Hattie Ramsby,Clyde Poyser and wife.

Big Fire at Syracuse. . Last Sunday evening the thriving little town ot Syracuse suffered a most disastrous fire, nearly one entire half block of store buildings on Main street, including four frame structures and a three-story double front brick block, being totally consumed, together with about all their contents between the hours of 5 and 7:30 o’clock. The fire started in the rear portion of H. C. Conrad’s grocery store,in what is know.as the oil room, and the building being a frame structure the flames quickly communicated to the eéntire store and thence to adjoining buildings. : The only appliance for fighting the fire was a bucket brigade, although for eleven years the town has been collecting water-works taxes, looking to the erection of a power house. The principal sufferers include: Richard Guy, two-story brick block, tenanted by G. I'. Weirick and Elias Hinderer, general merchants. His loss is $lO,OOO, with no insurance. Messrs. Weirick and Hinderer were damaged $12,000, with $3,000 insurance. F. L. Hoch, druggist, reports his loss at $3,000, with no insurance. William Pensinger. barber,was damaged $3OO, with no insurance, and Henry Sloan, restaurant, $1,500, with small insurance. Messrs. Kerns & Buchman of North Webster, owners of building, were damaged $l,OOO, with no insurance. Miller & LLehman of Goshen, proprietors of the Fair store, were damaged $1,500, with slight insurance. Mrs. M. A. Benner, milliner, lost $l,OOO, with $BOO insurance. The Pythian lodge hall and contents were damaged $BOO, with $2OO insurance. Charles Benner was slightly hurt by jumping from a sec-ond-fioor window, as the building collapsed. The loss which will reach between $35,000 and $40,000, is principally confined to the merchants.

Bowling Contest, The South Bend bowling teamn came down here last Thursday evening and engaged in a contest at the regulation alleys. A large crowd was present, notwithstanding the other attractions that engaged the attention of our people. The South Bend boys did not put up a very strong game until the second contest, and the Ligonier Greys easily won the first game. The tables were turned in the second contest, which was won by South Bend by a comfortable margin. In the third and deciding game the Ligonier boys were defeated by a narrow mnargin, the game being lost by a bad play or two by Mr. Harrold. The summary is as follows: : GREYS.

He told the business men that all money in excess of the cost of printing would be turned over to me, Now let me state that the fellow is a fraud. I never saw him here; I did not get a penny from him and the calendar I do not want, because it is of no practical use—most of the feast days recorded are dated wrong. : The getting up of a calendar was not his end, but the means to an end —a private money-making scheme. However, I appreciate the good will of the merchants, most of whom contributed advertisements more to.favor us than to advertise for themselves. For this I heartily thank you, but remember we received nothing from the fraud who ought to be in jail. The calendars are still at the’ printing office, and as I do not want them, the business men who will find them useful might appropriate them. REv. JNo. F. NoLL.

Important Decision. W. P. Erity, proprietor of a saloon in Elkhart, was tried in the circuit eourt at Goshen on charge of violating the provisions of the Nicholson law, in the matter of permitting screens in his place of business. The jury was only-out thirty-five minutes when they returned a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at $l5 fine and costs, in all amounting to $61.45. This is quite an important case, as it demonstrates beyond any question that the liquor laws upon the statute books are ample if only enforced. Under existing laws all screens can be removed and gambling stopped if the officers enforce the laws as they are now existing. The case has been closely watched by the persons engaged in the traffic. A Deqidedly New Wrinkle. The Citizens’ Bank advertisement tells a new scheme forsaving which is well worth looking into. Itis by the distribution of very secure banks which are kept in the house as a receptacle for all spare coins of whatever denomination. The bank keeps the key to the little banks thus distributed ‘and when these are filled they are brought to the bank, unlocked and the money placed on deposit to the credit of the one doing the saving. The money cannot be gotten out except by the use of the key retained by the Citizens’ Bank. The scheme has been a great success at Chicago and wherever tried and should be here.—South Bend Times. Married. On Thursday evening, Jan. 8, 1901, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Weaver, Miss Grace Weaver and Mr. Albert Harper. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Isaac Berkey in the presence of a few immediate friends and relatives. After-congratulations a bounteous sng)per was served to about twen?— ve guests. Many beautiful and useful presents were received by the happy couple. Announcement Extraordinary. Mr. B. F. Peters has the honor to announce a grand miscellaneous concert, Thursday evening, Jan. 31, at the M. E. church, with the kind assistance of most of the leading singers of the eity, and t!he Bippen orchestra. This concert will be given just previous to Mr. and Mrs. Peters departure for the south to take charge of the music at De Funiak Springs, Chautauqua. ; ; Cut this out and take it to S. J.

Taking Men to Korea. Many of the residents of the southern part of the county remember a bright young school teacher, 1.. S. J. Hunt, a son of Franklin Hunt of Etna township, Whitley county. Smith Hunt, as he was familiarly known, was principal of the Columbia City schools, later president of the state college at Allison, lowa. He made a fortune in Washington in later vears, at one time being one of the heaviest property owners in Seattle. The bust of the boom nearly wiped hinx out, but he looked forother fields and three years ago went to Korea where with eastern capital he secured mining concessions that have again made Mr. Hunt a millionaire. Hunt has been at bis old home at Columbia City for the purpose of interesting some of the young men of that locality in making a trip to Japan with a view to.working in the mines. The Columbia City Post says: “Mr. L. S. J. Hunt, has completed the enlistment of a company of young men of this city and vicinity who will sail to the port of Kabe, Korea, perhaps on the 24th. The company as at present constituted, is made up of the following named gyoung men: Fred Welsheimer, Fred Deal, Lee Waugh. Fred Hunt, Joseph B. Lower, Peter Clapham, C. B. Woodford, J. B. Bolby, Milo Daniels, Edgar L. Wynkoop, William LaJoy, B. L. Stoner, Robert Oliver, J. €. Bockman, Elmer Grant, A. E. Deardorff, Claire W. Hess, Thomas Shephard, and C. S. Anderson. :

“The men enlisted for three years service and their contract binds them to work for the Oriental Consolidated Mining company, of which Mr. Hunt is secretary and general manager. For the first year they are to receive $33.33 per month, or $4OO per yvear; for the second year $5O per month or $6OO per year, for the third year $76 per month or $9OO per yvear.” The Post does not credit the story that Marvin Kuhns will join the party, as sent out from Ft. Wayne to the metropolitan papers. Mr. Hunt says that he has not seen Kuhns,and is not looking for that kind of men to take to his newly adopted ceuntry. ; At the M. E. Church. Revival services are being held each Sunday and Wednesday night at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor. It is our sincere desire to make these meetings helpful to all who attend; the professing christian, and also those who do not make any public profession. 'The sermons are short, ingtructive, practical apd evangelistic. The songs and hymmns are carefullv selected and rendered under the direction of Prof. B. F. Peters and alarge choir. Special revival meetings will begin on Sunday, Jan. 20 and continued for two weeks. I am, very truly your pastor, EDMUND K. ALBERTSON. Bowlers in a Row at Kendallville, The bowling contest at Kendallville on Tuesday evening between the Greys of this city and the Whitford team of that city broke up in a row in the second game. It appears that o couple of colored toughs were allowed to cast insulting remarks at the visitors and throw obstructions upon the alleys at will. After winning the first game under these embarrassing circumstances, and having a good start on the second game, the boys made a very vigorous protest, and Captain Williams, of the Greys, refused to play unless they were awarded fair treatment. This was not forthcoming and the contest ended instanter. : A Haw Patch Centenarian. " Boston Bowser, a brother of Andrew Rowser, of Elkhart, and an uncle of Charles, Albert, Cephas and William Miller, of Goshen, celebrated his 100th birthday anniversary at his farm home on the Haw Patch. three miles north of Ligonier,on last Tuesday, January 1, 1901. He goes out of doors every day, has a good appetite and bids fair to live several years yet. He is a living denial of the statement that smoking subtracts from the years of one’s life, having smoked since he was 20 years-old, and today he finds his chief solace in ‘his pipe.—South Bend Times.
