fih = e o ¢ Ligourer Bauner, THE BANNER PUBLISHING COMPANY. J. E. M’ DONALD, Editor. THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1901. THE Albion. Democrat has just closed its fourth year under the management of Mr. Will H. McEwen and starts out with prospects for-a prosperous future. The Democrat is a splendid local paper, well managed and entitled to the support and good will of the people of Albion. - THE officers of the Blind Institute and the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Indianapolis have recommended the sale of the real estate and buildings now occupied by these institutions so that they can provide new and modern buildings on the cottage plan, near the city limits. The land now occupied being near the center of the city is very valuable and will bring in a sum sufficient to purchase much larger tracts conveniently situated. The plan is meeting with much favor and will doubtless be accepted sooner or later. ¢

JubGE FrAßcis E. BAKER has handed down the decision of the Indiana supreme court concerning the constitutional amendients voted upon at the last election. The court holds that in order to pass an amendment it must receive a majority of the votes castat the election at which it was voted upon. Such amajority the amendments referred to. did not receive and therefore it is held that they were not adopted. The decision is concurred in by Justices Monks and Dowling, while Justices Jordan and Hadley dissent.

QUITE a number of the newspapers in the state have been jumping on to the lobby at Indianapolis and warning the members of the legislature against the wiles and the arguments of the lobbyist. The republican newspapers that did not want tosee Stutzman elected speaker, charged that he had been a lobbyist. In fact, they used it against him most effectually. Last week at Indianapolis one of the best organized and most persistent lobbies that has tackled this legislature, was on hand looking after legislation in their interests. They were the representatives of the several editorial associations in the state and it is safe to say that the strongest kind of argument was presented in behalf of such bills as they thought should be enacted and against others that are not wanted. :

REPRESENTATIVE GILLETT of Lagrange has introduced a bill for the congressional reapportionment of the state and it has met with some favor among the political manipulators at the state capital and especiaily the Fort Wayne contingent. It is said that Elmer Leonard of Fort Wayne, the chairman of the republican district committee, prepared the measure and that it will be supported by the friends of several Allen county statesmen who want to go to Congress. This bill takes Kosciusko from the Thirteenth and puts it on to this district making it Republican by four or five hundred on the basis of the 1900 vote. The bill also provides for other changes butits intent and purpose seems to be to change the politics of this particular district.

THE heaviest insurance loses of modern times have resulted from the death of Queen Victoria. lltis estimated that the amount of insurance upon her life held by persons who had no direct interest-in her is nearly or quite six million dollars. It has been a habit for many years for business men whose interests might be affected by the queen’s demise to take out policies en her life in the -way of surety investment. The practice has not been confined to the queen, but has extended to the Prince of Wales and to many rulers of the old world. The English law allows this to be done, and while it is presupposed that there is an insurance interest when the policies are taken out, yet investment or speculation is a large element in the transactions. This gives the insurance the aspect of a wager with the expectancy of life as the actual pasis for the invest~lment. There has been an intimation that the payment of five or more million dollars on the death of the queen would cause financial disturbance in England, but this is not to be the result. The life insurance interests will protect themselves, the payments will be made and no disturbance be allowed. GETTING 1N LINE. Fred T. Dubois, the recently elected senator from Idaho, tells the compiler of the congressional directory to put his name down among the democratic members of his chamber. Henry Heitfield, the other senator from Idaho, is also to be classified among the Democrats hereafter. Towne of Minnesota, who is temporarily filling the place inthe senate vacated by the death of Cushman K. Davis, also announces himself to be a Democrat from this time onward. Tom Patterson, the man who succeeds Edward oO.Woleott of Colorado, in the senate, likewise is to be classified among the Democrats. It will be remembered that a short time ago Senator Stewarc of Nevada, announced that he - had got back into the republican party, and his ¢olleague, John P. Jones, has followed his example. . All this eoncentration in the two great parties is signiflcant. * Dubois was one of the delegates who - engnged in the great ‘““walkout” in the St. Louis republican convention of ~ 1896. Along to that time he hiad been - a Republican, but he immediately - };ined the Bryan coalition, and now _he drops into the democratic party.

Heitfield, the other Idaho senator, was elected as a Populist, but he -abandons that party and takes l‘is place among the orthodox Democrats. Towne was a Silver Republican at the outset, but he béecomes a Democrat henceforth. Tom Patterson was prominent as an independent, with a strong leaning toward Populism, but he sees that both the Populist and the Silver Republican parties are nonexistent, ard he arrays himself with the Democrats. The persons who have thus made their change of partisan base are sensible. There would be as much folly for the Populists and the Silver Republicans to hang on to their old designations at the present time as there was for the old Whig conservatives to cling to their party name in 1856 and 1858, after the repeal of the Missouri compromise in 1854 had killed their party and created a new political organization, the republican party, inits place. There is nolonger any room for either of these two minor parties. 1t is possible that some new ‘‘third”’ party will appear in 1904, and that it may command the votes of tens of thousands of persons, but these two particular parties are dead, and the decent thing is to inter them and to stop mentioning their names except in a historic sense.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. ‘

POLITICAL INDIFFERENCE.

The Boston Globe has presented | some interesting figures for both politicians and sociologists, in comparing the total .vote of_ the wvarious states in the recent election with 'the census enumeration of ‘“males over 21 years of age,”” the number of these that did not vote being obtained by subtracting the total vote from the number of males of voting age: The figures are modified somewhat by the reflection that some of the men of voting age were in prison or in jails while others were not naturalized and doubtless many others were. But the total of those that did not vote foots up slightly over 6,000,000, while the. total number of voters Teached something short of 14,000,000. Going into details of the figures for various states, it is obvious that far and away the greatest cause of absenteeism is a lack of interest,due to the fact that the result in many states is predetermined. The smallest loss of voters was in Indiana, where the contest was supposed to be close, and 98 percent. of the vote was polled. West Virginia, another uncomfortably close state,follows with 97 percent. On the other hand in Mississippi and South Carolina but 19 percent. of the male inhabitants of voting age cast their ballots. In both these states the dispositiou not to vote was intensified by the disfranchisment of the negroes. With the negro vote eliminated the whites of the South have no particular interest in political matters after the democratie primaries have been held. One of the interesting things about the table is the showing made in New York and New Jersey. Democratic leaders really believed these states to be close and even some of the republican managers were inclined to take a gloomy view of their party prospects there; but the body of the people seem to have been satisfied that it was all one way, for more than a quarter of them failed tovote. When one notes how steadily one locality or one state will cling to one party he 1s inclined to wonder whether after all issues cut much -« figure in an election or the political views of the people are determined almost entirely by heredity and environment. It is the close and uncertain states that determine the result in a presidential election and within these states it is the independent voter that does the business. Where the people knew their individual votes would count for something in determining results they voted almost to aman.

A Sleighing Party. A party of Sparta and York township friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Schlabaugh, made their home in this city the scene of a merry party last Tuesday evening. ~There were two big sled loads of merry makers and all had a good time. They brought plenty of good things to eat along and a supper was prepared in fine style, all enjoying the spread. The party was made up of Mr. and Mrs. Odla Pollock and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Conrad, Mr. and Mrs: M. A. Schlabach, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Klworth Noe, Misses Stella gSharp, Liza Whirlige, Ola Fry, Edith White, Rosa Wolf, Messrs. Albert Gordon, Erva Nulf, Charles Conrad and John Baker. Mr. Jones Favors the Bill. Iv speaking of the blll which was introduced in the senate last week for inereasing the terms of city school superintendents from one year to four, Superintendent Jones said it had the hearty appoval of all of the city superintendents over the state, and among them were some of the best educators in the United = States. He says that it is only just that they should be elected every four years, so that they can get settled in their work. It will be-a great advantage to the city superintendents, because it will relieve them of many things that come up in an annual election. The law in this regard will be similar to the one in this eity, Mr. Jones says.—lndianapolis Journal. Seryice for Men Only. : At the Presbyterian church next Sunday night at 7 o’clock,the pastor, Rev. Thos. G. Pearce. will preach a sermon to men only. Boys under 15 years of age, not admitted.

Retired From Business.

Last week after nearly a half century of active identification with the business interests of Ligonier, Mr. Peter Sisterhen, the well known shoe | merchant, retired from the business, his interests having been purchased by Mr, Edward Sisterhen, the junior member of the well known firm. The Sisterhen Shoe Store has been one of the leading institutions in our city for many years, with a small beginning it gradually grew into its present proportions, always popular with the people. The cendition of Mr. Peter Sisterhen’s health has been such for the past two years that he has not been able to give much attention to the business and he realized that he must sooner or later throw off his responsibilities. Mr. Ed.Sisterhen,the new proprietor, is well known to all. He has grown from boyhood in Ligonier and has spent most of his life 1n the establishment he now controls. He is fully and completely conversant with the needs and wants of the trade and acquainted with everybody. He has bad an active managemeént of the, store for several years and he has. done much to continue its popularity and keep up its high standing. He says that he will at ornce replenish ‘the stock and that he proposes to make the establishment the leading } shoe store in Noble county.

An Honest Man.

P. .. Wortinger, at one time trustee of Clinton township, out of his savings as a stonemason has in the last five years paid to his bondsmen the sum of $l,lOO which he was found short on final settlementof his office. The last payment'was made Saturday. It was in 182% that Mr. Wortinger’s term of office as trustee expired and upon it being found that he was short such a large amount there was talk of indicting him and attempting to send him tostates prison. His bondsmen were A. J. Hoover, now city clerk pro tem and L. W. Scott. They were convinced that Mr. Wortinger had no intention to defraud but had lost the money in business operations vhieh had turned out disastriously to him. They paid the deficit and decided not to prosecute the ex-trus-tee but give him an opportunity to repay them. Kvery year since Mr. Wortinger has decreased the amount of his indebtednesf to his bondsmen until the entire amount has been paid. Mr. Wortinger’s friends who stood by him in his hour of trial are gratified that he has proved himself a thoroughly” honest man.—Goshen Times. (

Death of an Estimable Lddy

Tuesday morning the announcement of the death of Mrs. Bell Schloss Ackerman, the wife of Ferd Ackerman came as a sad surprise to many of the friends of this estimable woman. She died about midnight after all that medical skill could do for her had been exhausted. Conyvulsions brought on by uric poisoning incident to prospective confinement was the cause of her death and there was but little hope for her after an early hour Monday merning.

Mrs. Bell Ackerman was the oldest daughter of Leopold Schloss of this city. She was born in Ligonier in 1870 and grew up among our people a highly respected woman. Nearly ten years ago she was married to Mr. Ferd Ackerman, and one child a bright boy is left to mourn the death of a kind and loving mother. Mr. Aekerman has the sympathy of the whole‘community 1n his terrible bereavement. The {funeral will be held at the residence this afternoon at 2 odloek. .

An Innovation.

The Louisville & Nashville R. R., together with its connecting lines, has inaugurated the Chicago & Florida Limited, which is a daily, solid train, wide vestibuled, steam heated, gas lighted, with dining car service or all meals en route from Chicago to Thomasville, Ga., Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Fla. This train leaves Chicago over the Chicago & Fastern Illinois tracks at 11.05 a. m., running via KEvansville, Nashville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Plant System to Jacksonville, and Florida East Coast to St. Augustine, arriving at the latter city 7:30 the next eyening, making the fastest time ever made between these points. This train has-annex sleepers leaving Cineinnati at 12:15 a. m. and St. Louis at 2:15 p. m.,' which also run through. Mr. C. L. Stone, General Passenger Agent, Louisville & Nashville R. R., Louisville, will answer all inquiries concerning this train and furnish printed matter concerning it.

Telling the Whole Truth. In his address to the Illinois editors Lafe Young told the brethern how a paper might be conducted on the principle of telling the exact truth about everything and evervbody. ‘*“The height of my ambition,’” the orator said, “is to have a million dollars and to- build a skyscraper 19 stories high. I would publish a newspaper and have my office on the 19th floor, protected by a score of eightpound rapid firing guns. I would have an automatic elevator to bring my meals to me and I would never leave my office. . ; All I would do would be to print the truth about everybody. What a glorious privelege that would be. How many heads would be hit that have not been touched under the present system, when it is nearly impossible to tell the truth and make a living at the same time.” - Must Have Settlement. A change has been made' in the management of our store, Mr. Edward Sisterhenshaving purchased the interest of its old proprietor, Peter Sisterhen. This makes it imperative that all out standing accounts of the old firm be collected or arranged mutually satisfactory -~ within the next 30 days. All knowing themselves indebted should call at once as the settlement can not be delayed.

George Ferguson, the son of James Ferguson, died at the home of his parents, Tuesday night, after a lingering illness, from consumptron. He was born in this city in 1875 and was aged 24 years, 11 months and 10 days at the time of his death. He was a well known young man and before the heavy hand of disease ;was laid upon him he was a powerful and muscular fellow, full of energy and vim. About a year ago he suffered from a hemorrhage of the lungs and his hold upon life since that time has been very precarious, The funeral service will be held from the home of his parents this morning at 10:30. A special from Churubuseco says there is no doubt but that John Kuhns, the brother of Marvin, is at his home near here, where he proposes to stay. He attributes the capture of his brother to over-confid-ence, and the fact that he is generally a heavy sleeper, and not easily aroused when assured of safety. The capture of Marvin has npset the plans of the Kuhns brotbers, who were on their way west to remain. John is ‘much discouraged and bears a dejected look. He admits that the authories want him, but he says he will not be taken, and he will remain in hiding. He has shaved off his moustache, and he keeps under cover, save with neighbors and friends whom he knows will proteet him.

The New Improvement Law,

A bill was introduced in the house Friday which is designed to remedy the constitutional objections to the Barrett law. S. R. Artman, speaker of the house, is the author of the measule, but it was introduced by Representative Reser of Tippecanoe county. The bill applies only to those cities and towns that have no special charters, but in justice to every city where the present Barrett law is operative, should be given a general effect. It is not an amendment to the Barrett law,but a bill for a complete street, alley and sewer improvement law. It provides for assessments on the basis of special benefit only. doing away with the front foot rule entirely. .

The assessments are to be made by the city commissioners, and property owners are given the right to a hearing before these commissioners on the question of benefits, and also the right of appeal, to the circuit court. The assessments are made to run ten years, payable in annual installments, with 6 percent. interest, payable semi-annually, both principle and interest being payable in the manner in which taxes are paid. If an assessment becomes delinquent it is subjeet to the same penalties as delinquent taxes, and is collectible by the city treasurer in the same manner only. The pernicious system of foreclosure, with attorneys’ fees, provided for in the Barrett daw, is eliminated. An improvement certificate is to be issued to the contractor for each assessment. Any property owner may, at any time, discharge the lien from his property by paying the city treasurer the principal of the assessment and the interest to the date of payment. When such payment is made the contractor must surrender the improvement certificate to the city treasurer for cancellation.

We Believe ~ You want the best woven wire fence you can.procure; a fence that will successfully turn all the stock without injury to eitber the animal or the fence, that will not sag or bag between the posts. If so, buy the Lamb. One that will do first-class service for a long term of years and not be filled with broken laterial wires when the frests of winter contract it. 2R ~ ’ i _ That’s the Lamb. -A fence that will conform perfectly to the surface of the ground without cutting or lapping when you want to take it over a hill or down into a gully. That’s the Lamb. A fence with the upright wires heavy enough and close enough together so a pig will neither crowd throngh the mesh or kink the tie-wire and crawl under. Such a fence is the Lamb. A fence to stand up and preserve its shape must be elastic; to be elastic it must be made of hard steel wire—almost spring steel. That is what you get in the Lamb. When you see-the Lamb fence you will find thatithe wire -in it, uprights, loeks and all is made of substantial size and hard steel. We are boeking orders, may we have yours? Weir & Cowley.
