From HENRY WVIIL i : By William Shakespeare - < »_—’_._*_____——_.—-._——___——_'@ i - ~ THE following is an extract from Henry VIIL, by : o) William Shakespeare. Wolsey was the prime mimis~ < S "!' ter of the king and was in many ways, until he : Bt Py under the displeasure of the latter, the real ruler of : > " p" England. He was born in 1471, disgraced in 1530 and © G NP )AN died ‘immediately thereafter.

9 ® The Ligonier Danner, _ ' J. E. McDONALD, Editor. | A Published every Thursday and entered in thé postoflice, LigonigTeldnd.. as second-clas matter, s 3 PHONE No. 13. Next year. when the farmers begin to make coatracts for harvesting machines, they will fully understand the purpose and the interest of the big harvester trust or combination of all of the leading manufacturers of mowers and harvesters, under the title of the International Harvester Co. Prices will go up,for there is no longer any competition or any intention of underselling a competing machine. Over half of the salesmen and traveling representatives havye been relieved and a consolidation of plants may be expected in the near future. Hereafter harvesting machines will sell at one price, and that, the figures set by the combination. The farmer will pick out the machine that he wants, pay the price and inake the best of it. The health authorities in Ligonier and Noble county should see that the quarantine rules are strictly and summarily enfogced. It is the only protection afforded the community and the people demandit. - Every man, woman and child should respect the rules of the board of health. If not willingly then under compulsion. . Governor Durbin made two most excellent appointments last week when he selected Patrick O’Brien of South Bend.as a member of the board of trustees for the northern prison, and Charles Major of Shelbyville as a member of the Purdue University board. The former isa Democrat n%]d -succeeds E. H. Nebeker of Covington, making the board for the first time in many_yea.rs, divided in politicsl Mr. Major suceeeds Hon. W. H. O’Brien who was elected to the state senate in' November. \y . R RRRRE ' : Mayor Bookwalter bids defiance to his clerical critics, and in polite terms charges them with lying about the city’s wickedness. The mayor’s attitude must be distressing to the preachers, as they all supported him for mayor lagt vear, no matter how he conducts his administration. The preachers are a good deal like organized workingmen who protest against unsatisfactory conditions 364 days in the year and then on the 365tk day go to the polls and vote for the men or party responsible for those conditions. —Sol Hathaway in Indianapolis Independent. - From Washington comes the autherized statement that Congressman Wadsworth of New York, a staunch republican protectionist and devoted friend of President Roosevelt, will introduce a bill putting hides on the free list. He says the present tariff on hides does not benefit the farmer or small cattle-raiser, but only enables the large packing houses to demand a fancy profit on hides. ‘ : o . Editor Kent of the Elkhart Review sensibly asks: “Why is it that - Bome men are so prone to ascribe to the ;Serformance of duty an ignoble motive? Whyis it that some men seem to be unable to believe that others can do anything, unless behind the doing and underneath the performance -is an undue influence? Is it because the accusers do things only from such motives? Is it because they think all men have their price and never act except by reason of a sale? Is it because the accusers seek to use such influences in, their methods of persuasion? The disposition to see lonly unworthy motives in men is a sad one, and men who can ascribe no other to the performance of a duty or the furtherance of a project are ‘acting unworthily. Believe in your fellowmen and you are happier, and they will more often reward than disabuse your confidence.” = - The message of President Roosevelt to Congress, is a well prepared document and reads well, but if the friends of tariff revision can get any conso“lation out of it they must win by faith. He seeks to throw around the Dingley tariff the whole force of party power. He abandons the position taken by Mc¢Kinley and other _greac_ republican leaders and advises his party to do nothiﬂg'which will “amount to a dislocation of our system, the mere threat of which (not to speak of the performance) would produce paralysis in the business energies of the community.” He says that ‘“the question of the regulation of the trusts stands apart from the question of tariff revision.” He insists that the tariff does not breed trusts, but he admits that trusts are here and he offers no new plan for their control. He says that congress has full power to deal with the question and asks that the matter of regulation and repression of the evils be promptly taken up. : ' : President Roosevelt’s message is weak in the fact that le tries to get on “both gides of too many of the public questions. - , , : : : ; L R RRRRR ' / The president’s message is somewhat tamer on all the questions than -was expected. He makes a bluff at the trusts, just a bluff. - ; : RRRRRR 1t is admitted in the east that the Wall street lobby in Washington this session ‘will be the largest-and the most formidable the capital has seer for years. Representatives of the great industrial combinations which are threatened by gq;ti;e',legiplaﬁion will be in every corner of the capital,

Would Improve Matters, A'bill will be introduced at the approaching session of the legislature to do away with the justice court system which has prevailed in Indiana for years. Senator E. A. Dausman of Goshen is preparing the measure that ought to become a law with slight modifications. Senator Dausman talking about the bill says: T want to'relieve the state of this disgraceful justice court system that has been so generally condemned,”’ said the senator. “I am preparinga bill that provides that it shall be the duty of the township advisory board in every tgwnship at its annual meeting in 1903 to fix the number of justices of the peace and constables necessary in their respective townships, and fix the salaries for the justices and constables by resolution al writing. The salaries shall be paidby the township trustee quarterly, but not until he has examined the books of justice and is assured that all the fees from the office have been turned into the township treasury. :

| “The salaries of the justices will _var'y from s2b a. year in some of the rural townships to $'6()1) or $l,OOO in the larger cities. The advisory board will base the salary on the amount of work required of the justices. : ¢Such a law will do away with the present system, under which the justices and constables derive their incomes solely from fees, and consequently many justices are continually drumming up business and- are very frequently guilty, of deciding a case against a man they know is good for the costs. Such asystem is a travesty on justeie; it is an outrage and should not be tolerated any longer. I know that public sentiment is in favor of a change, and I believe that my bill will meet with general indorsewment,” -

JERC gy Hope for Her Recovery

Attorney and Mrs. L. 'W. Welker went to Chicago Saturday tor the purpose of consultation with eminent medical specialists regarding the health of the latter, returning home Monday evening. Mrs, Welker has been afflicted with spinal trouble for some time, which is gradually growing worse. She is receiving treatment from Dr. Nicholas Senn, the noted surgeon of Chicago, and will subsequently receive treatment from Dr. Brower, the eminent nerve specialist of Chicago. These two eminent specialists give Mrs. Welker assuranee that she will ultimately be restored to health if their course of treatment is’ followed. Her many friends will be pleased to learn of her speedy restoration to health.—Albion Democrat. : o

A Divorce Record

During the September term of the Klkhart Circuit-Court a new record was made for divorce cases. Three men are now in jail for rcontempt of court, having failed to meet the court’s orders to pay money for the support of their children.

Since Judge Ferrall has been on the beneh he has instructed the clerk not to write a divorce record until the costs'had been paid. He has in each case compelled the husband to be in court and to pay into court a sum sufficient to enable the women to prosecute their cases. There were fifty-seven divyorce cases filed for the September term, and forty-eight were granted.

Can’tdo it; No Use to Try.

The editor of a newspaper who is afraid to speak out on a public question, lest some subscriber will stop his paper, will never secure a very large circulation or an extensive influence fot his journal. The editor who expects to please everybody will wind up his career by pleasing nobody. The first lesson of independence for the newspaper man- is to keep his paper as nearly right as is possible without fear of the subscriber who stops his paper. Davy Crockett’s motto—:‘be sure you are right, then go ahead,” is partcularly applicable to the editor.of a live wide-awake newspaper. '

He Don’t do Anything of the Kind.

It is claimed that Congressman Robinson recognizes the ‘the power of the press'’ by sending each of the democratic newspapers in his district a bright, new, crisp ten-dollar William each Christmas.—Kendallville Sun. '

This is not so, we can testify to the utter untruthfulness of the above. We know that he don’t send any such a William to THE BANNER. Mr. Robinson pays his subseription at the end of the year just like any other democratie subseriber. - :

Would Disappoint Nine.

It seems that there is a vacancy in the office of sheriff of Noble county from January Bth, 1903 to January 1, 1904, and as a consequence there are nine ambitious Republicans 1n that county who are anxious to become custodians of the jail for 'that short term. Why not let the present officer hold over-or the sheriff-elect take it and thus avoid so much changing about? It would not leaye as many gsore spots either.—Columbia City Post.

Well, Why Not?

There are indications that in the re-apportionment of the state the republican majority in the coming legislature will imitate the democracy and endeavor to grasp more than properly and fairly belongs to it. The Herald believes an unfair gerrymander is just as wicked. when Republicans perpetrate it as when Democrats are-the responsible parties.—Huntington Herald. ;

A Flyer Indeed

Engineer M. F. Fleming and Fireman C. B. Neal, with engine 603, made a new record for the west end Tuesday, when they hauled the flyer (five cars) the 101 miles in 104 minutes, less four minutes delay -in the Chieago yard, or actual running time of 100 minutes, The old record tied by Vallance-and Floyd was reduced five or seven minutes, according to two different reports. The train, delayed east of here by a hotbox on the buffet car which was set out at Ligonier, left here at8:10 and reached Chicago at 9:54. The officials of the rdad.are particularly proud of the run, from the fact that no effort was made to break any records and nothingout of the usual was done to facilitate the passage of the limited. The run included slow downs for water and for passage through Mishawaka, South Bend and LaPorte, where slow running ordinances exist. During several portions of the trip a spepd of nearly ninety miles an hour was attained and kept up for a considerable distance. The engine which hauled the train s one of the new ones recently received by the Lake Shore and Engineer Fleming stated that he could make the distance with the same engine in considerable less time. The engine is now equipped with the new high speed air brake, which gives the engineer more confidence and makes faster running possible.—Elkhart Review. % .

ADAM GIVEN GIBSON

An Old Settler Dead

At the home of his daughter, Mrs. ‘W. H. Franks, in this city on Saturday last, was ended the earthly career of one of Noble county’s most estimable and highly respected citizens. A sturdy pioneer, he gave his best years to the improvement and betterment of his surroundings. He had seen the wilds of Noble county disappear and had noted the substantial advancement of the community of which he had always been a prominent factor. ' Adam Given Gibson was born in Pocahontas county, Va.,January 18, 1824. - He came to Noble county with his parents ten years later and for the past sixty-eight years has been a partof this community. In 1845 he was married to Miss Eliza Tibbets who died at their country home north of Wawaka, in 1895. To this union six children were born, but two of whom were living, Mrs. Dr. W. H. Franks of this city and Mrs. W. W. Huston of Elkhart township. j;About the time of his marriage, Mr. Gibson and wife become members of the M. E. church and for fifty years were earnest, consistent Christians.

Mr. Gibson was a man of strong character, a popular citizen and neighbor. -He waé’, a Democrat in politics, always taliﬁng great interest in public affairs. 'ln his demise the community suffers a substantial loss. The funeral held in: this city last Tuesday was largely attended. “

All a Sham

In Noble county the successful applicants for rural mail carriers were nearly all Republicans. But there is a sort of sham civil service game being worked which carries the idea that politics cuts no figure in the selection of these men. Just watch how it works in this county when the new men are chogen.—Columbia City Post. :

Death of William Aburn.

Another well known citizen and farmer has passed into the great beyond. Last Monday? evening William Aburn after an extended illness quietly passed away, at the age of 67 years, after a long life of industry and usefulness. He was born in Preble county,Ohio, in 1825 where he spent his early manhood. In 1850 he was married to Catherine Arnell, of ‘the same county. Few years later he and his ,k family returned here and located in Noble township near Wolf Lake. 1n 1882 he took up his residence - in the township, having purchased the beautiful farm formerly owned by George Keehn, southwest of the city. Mr. Aburn wasa quiet unassuming citizen, who took a great interest in public affairs until old age and ill health impaired his enex"gy. He was a Democrat in politics. He was nighly respected by all and well liked by his neighbors, and he held the confidence and esteem of the whole comunity.

Stoves Go Up 30 Percent,, The Chicago papers of Wednesday and The Times of Thursday announeed a raise of 10 percent in the price of stoves. A South Bend man who is familiar with the stove business calls attention to the fact that this raise which is to go into immediate effect, is the fourth raise in the price of stoves during the year. The three changes in the price that preceded the present one took effect in April, July and August, and each was a raise of five percent. This would make a total raise over the price at this time last year of over 27 percent. This is to say, that a good'baéixe burner, for instance that was worth $5O last year would sell now for about $63.66. Clsa ey . Among the causes that have been assigned for the last raise are that the value of raw materials, especially iron and coke, have advanced and that the wages of moulders have-gone up, greatly increasing the cost of manufacture:—South Bend Times.

Memorial Services.

Every Elk in Ligionier or vicenity should attend the Memorial services at the Hebrew Temple next Sunda.y. A most enteresting program will be carried out and this will not only be an impressive but notable affair. It will be the first excerise of the kind ever held in Ligonier, and the members of the local lodge are expected to be there in person and with their friends. The principal address will be delivered by Hon. J. B. Stoll of South Bend, who will talk upon the suibject of Faternity and Citizenship. , ,

Morning Service

Mr. Draper, manager of the Ligonier Electric Light Co., says that after next Monday he will begin a morning service and that all patrons of the line can have what light they want after 5 o’clock a. m., by simply. turning it on. If there seems to be any demand for the service it will be continued all winter but he says that He can not, neither will he, run his plantat a loss. The people who are using lights will certainly find the morning service a great favor and they should use it whenever needed.

Could Say Many Things.

Suppose, says the Auburn Dispateh, a newspaper man every time he hears another man ‘criticise him or his paper in publie, should retaliate by holding up to public gaze the faults and shortcomings of said fault finder, what would be the result? The editor may not know it all, but he does not live in a community long without knowing a deuced sight more than he publishes. .

Compromised.

At a recent election therewas a tie vote in Green county for the office of sheriff and Governor Durbin called a special election to settle the tie, but the candidates have agreed on a compromise. Kach one will accept of a year’s service in the office and thereby save the expense and trouble of another election. The people are also in favor of the compromise. iy N Mason Attention.

Ligonier Council No. 59, R.. and S. M.. will meet in regular session Dec. Bth. Election and other important bprsiness. Members are earnestly requested to be present.
