. Fred H. Greenis now mayor of Ligonier. He was inducted into office last Monday night at a special meeting of the city council and he is now ihe head of the municipal government. Itis safe. to say that Mayor Green will give the duties of the office his careful and conscientious attention. that he will administer the affairs of the city as seems best for all conserned and that his publie duties will be performed without fear or favor. He has no enemies to punish nor friends to reward, nor has he any antielection promises to pay. We predict that Mr. Green will make a popular mayor. We know that he will have the support of the citizens inanything ihat he may do toward keeping Ligonier in the front rank. _ R DRB " . After eight years of service William Vondersmith went out of office last Monday night. He has made a good official. Few men in the position have filled it more aeceptably to the people, and with less friction. Marshal Vondersmith had a faculty of keeping good order in ‘public places, without much ado or trouble. Few men can do it. : Hon. O. W. Christie can now resume friendly relations with several old friends and not be liable to carping criticism and malicious misrepresentafaon. ' ' It is no longer, Mayor-Christie. He is again a private citizen, much to his relief. He has made an excellent mayor, Ligonier’s affairs have been well managed since he has been in office and to him mueh credit is due. He has not worked any social revolutions during his term of office and he ‘has not set himself up as the judge of what should and what should not be done in Ligonier by itscitizens. Ligonier is a well managed city. It has been a well managed city and the incoming officers will do well to keep it up o the high standard set'by Mr. Christie and his worthy predecessors. : Rk RRR ' : | The people will with one accord admit that Mr. Christie has made a zood mayor. He has been a conscientious public servant. ' Teforms are seldom brought about by a revolution. ' 1f Mayor Green does all that he has laid out to do, his official life will be a strenuous one. . The city council proposes to stand by Mayor Green in his efforts to enforee the laws. They have made official declaration and will doubtless stand by their promise. » = RRRRRR The Chieago Inter Ocean hits the coal trust hard and asserts that the institation is being turned to an 'evil use. Then the paper goes on to tell how the institution has been doing, in the following language: “The coal trust‘ has conducted its business with the sole purpose of getting the largest.possible profits from the people. Then, having quarrelled with its emp'loyesl over the division of the profits, it has ceased to perform the service - upon which private ownership is conditioned. Half a dozen men virtually say To an entire nation: ‘lf we cannot perform this service exactly as we please, we shall let it go unperformed.”” In conclusion the Inter Ocean makes -this charge: “Itis difficalt to understood how even the profoundest egotism could have done more than the coal trust managers have done to profumce a situation as dangerous to every material interest in the nation as it s deplorable from every viewpoint of common sense.” : ' - ‘ RRR R R R __ A few hours before the late Hon. Clem Studebaker left for Europe, something over a year ago, the writer had a talk with that estimable genteman. In the course of the conversation the trust question was touched upon. as it bad been frequently during previous conversations. ‘‘During my stay in Europe I intend to still further study the trust question,’” Mr. Studebaker remarked. “I have given that question a great deal of earnest thought and study, and have reached the conclusion that the trust idea is wrong and in conflict-with human rights and interests. Its fundamental purpose is the concentration of power into the hands of a few as against the many. That is wreng, unjust, and prejudicial to the common welfare. It ‘s plainly against scriptural teaching. - Every individual should be given a chance to work his way to the front. The trust system hampers individual opportanity. It impedes individual effort. In this blessed land of ours there is enough for all. Let the race for gaining a livelihood be an even one. That enables the energetic poor young man to rise to fame and fortune. ¥From the very beginning I have been opposed to the trust system. 1 have studied the guestion carefully, without prejudice,and have fully satisfied myself that 1t is radically wrong.”’—J. B. Stoll in South Bend The Lagrange Democrat under the management of Harry L. Gandy, is being most substantially improved. The announcement is made that the paper will be enlarged to a seven column quarto and other improvements added. We congratulate the young man upon his evident success in his new field. He deserves well of the Democrats of Lagrange county. _ South Bend now has a complete demoératic administration, the first mvfim’ years. Mayor Fogerty took the reigns of governmentlast Monday. Bat one republican mayor from the state line to Chicago, James Grayes of Kendallville, remains in office and he was kept there by democratic o T RRRBRB The republican state campaign will be opened all along the line on Saturday, September 20. The list of speakers is very long. Noble county is on the list and several meetings will be held, presumably at Albion, Kendallville and Ligonier. :

William Bunyan of‘KendallviH\e, is dead, baving succumbed to a sud den attack of stomach trouble on last Sunday afternoon. Thisremoves one of the leading characters in Noble county history for the last fifty years. Bill Bunyan, as he was familiarly known, has been a political power, for years, the party leader. An uncompromising Republican, a most thorough wrganizer and an indefatigable worker, he had a wide inflaence in his party. A good mixer, astaunch friend and a man of many good qualities, he bhad a wide circle of friends among the public in general. He wielded a wide influence, was an excellent citizen and his death is a distinet loss to Kendallviile and Noble county.

MAYOR GREEN TAKES CHAIR.

Lively Meeting of Council Monday Even-

ing—Seyeral Keforms Inaugurated —Sunday Laws will be Enforced.

The city council was called to order last Monday evening at eight o’clock, Mayor Christie being in the chair. Every alderman was present save J. L. Graham, who is on a pleasure trip in the western states. Mr. Christie arose and in a neat and pleasing speech thanked the past and present council for their hearty co-operation and repeated courtesies. He then gave the statutes and keys of the city over to his suecessor, Fred Green, who took the chair and thus began his duties as a public servant. Mayor Green spoke quite lengthy in showing his appreciation of the office and addressed the council in pleasing terms. The regular business of the evening was then taken up. Quite an audience was present to witness the proceedings under the new regime.

Mayor Green in announcing his policy, advocated the immediate establishment of certain necessary reforms. The saloons and business connected therewith came up as the first proposition. A resolution, signed by the entire couhcil, was then introduced by Councilman Kelley to the effect that the law should be enforced to the letter, as affecting these places, meaning, in short, that all saloons were to close on illegal hours, that all slot machines and gambling devices of every character were to be at once removed and that minors were to be strictly prohibited from saloons. The council body assured the mayor of its hearty support in this reform and the officers were instructed thereof.

By request of the barbers a motion was passed to cause to be closed all barber shops during the entire Sunday.

Councilman Mitchell then spoke of the water works plant. It was thought best not to consider a new plant until next year, although the conditions at the plant are in a bad plight. Engineer Fisel was given the power to make all necessary temporary improvements, and the new plant deferred until next spring. Mayor Green spoke of the condition of the city for carnival week, It was agreed to clean, mow and improve the city park and to improve the city’s appearance in general. The bonds for the treasurer, clerk and marshal were read and accepted by the council. g

As Marshal-elect Lung was out o the city and Marshal Vondersmith’s time was completed, it became necessary to appoint a special policeman to supply Mr. Lung’s place. Mr. Vondersmith was appointed to fill the vacancy.

The election of four new officers was called for with the following result: Hon. E. B. Gerber, city civil engineer; Harry Spurgeon, street commissioner; Frank Bothwell, city attorney and Dr. C. A. Woodruff, health officer.

Councilman Kelley then presented a petition from the entire frontage owners of that part of Cavin street south from the present paving to Sixth street, asking that the city join them in paving said part of Cavin street. The conditions were that the paving is to be of same order as the present pavement and that the supervising and engineering is to be done by Harry Spurgeon and Eli Gerber. The council accepted the resolution and together with the petitions will proceed at once to construet the pavement. And soon the long looked for improvement will be a reality.

The council rested for half an hour when the proprietors of the various saloons, at the request of Mayor Green, appeared before the board for their instructions. Mayor Green addressed them in a very respectful and gentlemanly manner asking that they obey the statutes and conduct their business strictly according to the existing laws of Indiana. - After’ a most interesting session the first meeting of the new board adjourned until this evening.

Firm Changes.

Last Friday Ed Smith disposed of his stock in the firm to his partner, Chas. Graham, and will retire from the business, Mr. Graham continuing the trade. Ed has not decided in what he willengage but it is probable. that in the near future he will be the local agent for the Champion binder and other machinery. It is to be hoped that Mr. Smith will not leave this city as he is a good business man, a hustler and a gentleman of the old school. Inthe meantime Mr. Graham solicits the patronage of the public at the old stand. ‘

© The Merchants’ Fall Festival. Whatever impressions may have gone out as to the morality and cleanliness of the attractions which are to be exhibitéd in Ligonier at the Merchants’ Fall Festival and Free Carnival during the week of Sept. 8 to 18, it is certain that reputable newspapers in cities where the Robinson Carnival Company has already exhibited, speak in the highest terms of the attractions and their management.

The Fairmount, W. Va. Times, of May 24th, has this to say of the Robinson Carniyval Company and its management: {

“Tonight winds up the free street fair given by the Robinson Carnival Company, under the auspices of the Fairmount Lodge of Elks, and it is a source of regret to the merchants and citizens of Fairmount that it is so. As a trade stimulus, the street fair must be rated a perfect success, provided all are given and managed as was the street fair which was held here this week. There is no doubt that every merchant in Fairmount did more business the past week than he has done in any three weeks since Fairmount took on metropolitan airs. Every night during the week every store on Main street was open until eleven o’clock, and at no time during any one night was any store entirely devoid of customers. Suburbanites who have not honored Fairmount with their presence in a year or more were here this week to attend the carnival and to shake hands with old friends. Incidentally every one who came here left a few good dollars with some merchant, or several of them,and in consequence the money market in Fairmount the past week was busier thau at any time in its history as a city. : There is no doubt that when properly conducted as was the fair this week, street fairs are the best possible trade stimulus that can be promoted in a community. They not only bring suburbanites to the city, but showmen, as a rule, are good livers, and they spend their money freely for food andclothing. Fairmount merchants are certainly the gainers for having had the street fair, and if this city could support one twice or three times a year—that is, such a fair as was given by the Robinson Carnival Company, free from gambling, drunkenness, vulgarity and suggestiveness—the city and its merchants would be so much better off.

Manager Robinson will leave Fairmount with the best wishes of its merchants, professional men and citizens. He kept faith with the Elks and the public, and carried out every promise he made. For the local lodge of the Elks, at whose instigation Manager Robinson came here, there is nothing but praise and good will. They worked hard to make the fair a success, and that their efforts were successful,all will agree. While the primary object of the fair was intended to raise funds for the Elks’ charity fund, the fact remains that every merchantin Fairmount enjoyed a piece of the pie. There is no more noble or worthy charity than that practiced by the B. P. O. E., and if no other object than the securing of money with which to carry on this work, had been attained, the fair and its object must still have been voted a splendid success in a worthy cause. However, this was not only obtained, but the direct business result felt by every merchantin Fairmount stamps the fair a greater success than had been anticipated. :

The Times hopes that Fairmount will have another street fair next year, and that Manager Robinson will be prevailed upon to bring his Carnival Company here again. Now that he is known here,. he may depend upon increased ‘patronage over this week.”

The Old Favorite Fair.

The Kendallville Fair, organized in 1883, has held nineteen successful fairs and will hold its twentieth fair Sept. 29 to Oct. 3. Great efforts are being made by the managers this year to hold a better and a bigger fair than ever before in its history. The premiums are liberal and the purses have been largely increased by a citizens’ donation, and several special attractions have been added to the program. Competition is open to the world except in the farmers’ and drivers’ races, which are limited to LaGrange, Steuben, DeKalb, Allen and Noble counties. Half fare on railroads.

Last Thursday’s Chicago Tribune contained a fine picture of Prof. Roy D. Keehn. Below the cutwas aneat write-up of our friend Roy. Lately Mr. Keehn has been elected by the student body as editor-in-cheif of the Chicago Uniuersity Literary Monthly. This is another evidence of Roy’s popularity in the great institution. He is an energetic man with the ability to succeed at whatever he turns his hand . His many friends here are always glad to hear of his guccesses.

We neglected in our last issue to mention the illness of Mrs. G. A. Whippy. She is suffering from a light touch of appendicitis and is under the care of Dr. Mitchell. It is now thought that she will recover without an operation. Dr. Turner was here in council with Dr. Mitchell in the case of Mrs. Whippy last week and advised that no operation be made at present. As we go to press Mrs. Whippy is not so well. The complication of asthma and appendicitis is making her condition alarming. She indeed has the sympathy of the entire public. .

Hon. F. M. Dice of Crawfordsville, inspector of the rural routes, has been in the city looking after the rural route service. He says that he will recommend a north route ‘out of Ligonier, covering all of the territory eastof the city not taken by the other routes. He will also recommend some changes in Mr. Agler’s route which will allow better service. He will also recommend an additional route out of Albion, covering a good share of the southern part of the oounty. Mr. Dize is one the best informed men in' the service and a most affable gentleman. :

. The school fight at "Waterloo is scandalous. The court has granted an injunction against the two-man school board and W. D. Smith, the newly . elected superintendent, and the schools did notopen last Monday. Smith who wants to superintend the schools could not pass examination but is attempting to hold the place under a common school license. He is not even a graduate of any recognized college or university. From this distance it looks as if itis about time for the citizens to summarily dispose of the fellows who are causing all of this trouble, reorganize the school board and give the children a chance, .
