: 9 o - 3 2 ' The Ligonier Danner. - J. E. McDONALD, Editor. Published every Thursday and entered in the postoffice, Ligonier, Ind., as second-clas matter. : : 'PHONE No. 13. ‘When the next legislature meets on January Bth, fifty years will have passed since the first session under our present constitution. It will be the Golden Jubilee of the General Assembly. There are several meh living who were members of the legislature of 1853. Mark Hanna and several other influential republican leaders are about to “begin a campaign looking toward the restoration of General” Jacob H. Smith, sometimes called ‘ nell-roaring Jake;”” who-was found guilty of inhuman and uncalled for severity in his war upon the natives in the Philippines. His celebrated order of ‘‘kill and burn,” brought him well deserved | dismissal but many express the opinion that he has been well punished: - The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Washington Post, and a number of other influential papers, have taken a decided stand in favor of General Smith’s restoration. An act of congress is necessary to. accomplish this purpose. The president has the powsr to displace, but not torestore. The old soldiers appear to be very strongly enlisted in behalf of General Smith. i The Columbia City Post says indications are that good prices for hogs and cattle will be maintained during the coming year. The supply of both 18 not great, while thie demand is growing. In the South Omaha packing “house, as compared with last year, there is a shortage of 10,500,000 pounds. This would indicate that the supply is short. It is said that taking the en_tire couyntry over, the receipts of cattle and hogs at packing houses have been 20 percent below a year ago. High priced meat, it seems, has come to “stay a while. The immense corn corp of Indiana ought to contribute something toward supplying the demand for pork and beef, and Indiana farmers should give especial attention to stock interests. - Ifit be a fact, as alleged, that half of the eighty million silver dollars now in circulation are counterfeit, the silver question is likely to present itself in an entirely new aspect. At the present price of bullion, the value of the quantity ofsilver in a ‘‘daddy dollar” is only 38 cents. The profit of counterfeiting this form of money is therefore enormous. The counterfeit silver coin is said to be so skilfully executed as to make it next to impossible to detect the fraud. Government officials are said to be in a quandary as to what may be done to relieve the gituation. ‘ . ' R R R R R . At last there seems to be developed at Washington and elsewhere, a de- | termination so to amend the immigration laws as to make it possible to ex- | clude a larger proportion of the undesirable persons who are being shipped across the ocean by soulless and conscienceless transportation companies ‘and sought to be unloaded on. American shores. The law needs thorough and effective revision. ; : T RR RRR : _ So far congress has done absolutely nothing and the holiday adjournment is at hand. It is safe to assume that Mark Hanna’s admonition to “‘stand pat,” will be heeded. The tariff beneficiaries and the trust promotors have nothing to fear. ' ' : ®RERRR Quite a number of democratic newspapers have suddenly discovered that there is no need of.a state oil inspector or his deputies. This office was egtablished by democratic legislation, was held for years by a Democrat and is now even more necessary than then. The duties of the office can keep a number of men busy, and the work should be performed by somebody. What the people of Indiana need is more stringent laws against adulteration of all kinds, not only in coal oil but in all food products. _ Philosophy and truth are happily blended in these observations by the New Albany Ledger: ‘‘As toits civic side, the church is the great conservator of morals. Destroy the church and you will destroy government. The flag and the cross are alike in one respect—they never retreat. You may temporarily close a church here; a flag may be withdrawn there, but only in order to advance Christianity, the flag to make this Christian power the greatest power on earth.” : _ : o X RRRRR : Commenting on the information sent out from Washington -that there is a disposition to ignore the popular demand for legislation with reference to tariff revision, trust regulation, etc., the Elkhart Review says: ‘‘The. last half of the present congress must show some disposition to take up fairly and honestly the pressing questions of the day, and lay aside person_al jealousies and factional disputes for the welfare of the public generally. 1f they do not, of one thing congress and the country may be assured and .that is that the public will be heard from, perhaps to the great detriment of all the interests of the country. When the voters become indignant at discourtesies shown to their conservative and honest opinions they are very apt to be indiscriminate as to the manner in which they enforce their opinions, and the extent to which they go in those opinions and their enforcement.” e : o ; , o fia e LS O South Bend had a nigger saloon. It has nonenow. Mayor Fogarty revoked the fellows license last Monday. The negro population of South ~Bend has been growing rapidly of late and many disreputable negroes have been coming in. The saloon was not needed and Mayor Fogarty had the merye toologe it up. There are many disreputable white saloons that could Biso be dispensed with in the same way without any loss to the community.

Must Take One or the Other. There are many people that are never satisfied with the public service afforded them. lln many postoffices where rural routes are malntained many of the patrons insist upon going to the postoflice about every day and asking for their mail, thus enjoying a- double service., This is against the rules of the department and an imposition upon the postmaster, for under the system that must be maintained he can not keep track of rural delivery mail in such a way as to be able to deliver it with any accuracy or without considerable trouble or loss of time. The ‘people who enjoy free delivery should be content to await the regular delivery of the mail and not exact the double service which is not only agszinst the rules but a source of much annoyance topostmaster and clerks. The rule npon the s'ubject 1s plain and easily understood. 5 S .

“It is not the purpose or the intention of the-department to furnish rural patrons with double service, however, a patron is entitled to receive at the postoflice, any important mail matter which may have arrived for him after the departure of the carrier upon his route. :

. “The fact that raral mail is kept separate from the city mail, and js not therefore arranged according to the schemie for the distribuion of local mail in the postoffice, makes it very inconvenient for ‘postmasters and clerks to handle from the delivery window, mail designed for delivery upon rural patrons are notexpected to take undue advantage of the special privilege granted them by making a general practice of calling at the office for mail which should be delivered to their boxes on the

Change in Law Firm

There. has been ahb important change made in two of the law firms of Warsaw within the last few days. In the first place Odell Oldfather has accepted the position with the firm of Straus Brothers & Co., of Ligonier, as legal adviser in the firm’s large real estate business. This creatéd a vacancey inthe firm of Frazer, - Oldfather & Frazer, and the vacancy has been filled by Arthur F. Biggs, thus making the new firm Frazer, Biggs & Frazer and leaves Mr. L. R. Stookey alone. Mr. Oldfather will remove to Ligonier on January 1, and enter upon his duties there ‘for which he possesses special qualifications, particularly in his thorough knowledge of the legal points connected with the purchase and sale of real estate, as well as of law generally. He isan industrious, upright young man and we feel confident that he will be of great value to the firm which has secured his services.— Warsaw Times.

Murdered by Negroes

Four negroes, with handkerchiefs half concealing their faces, entered the grocery store of John M. Koonsman, in the west part of South Bend, but located on a central street, last Saturday night and demanded that Koonsman and his clerk, Harry Kietke, aged 17 years, throw up their hands. Koonsman and his eclerk were the only inmates of the store and were engaged in sweeping out, preparatory to closing up. The boy complied with the demand and fell on the floor in hysterical fright; Koonsman did not submit to the intended robbery, and, uplifting his broom, started to chase the gang out of his place. " ; e Beyond this he '\Zas unarmed, but the cowardly thieves, who carried revolvers, began shooting, all the shots taking effect, and Koonsman fell dead with a bullet through his heart. Then they fled. The murdered gro-cery-keeper was about sixty vears oln and was highly respected in the community. ' o

We Stand Corrected

Several of the county papers stated that as Mr. Schermerhorn had resigned as commissioner, Mr. Willits was appointed in kis place. This is erroneous. Mr. Schermerhorn resigned before the election but if he had not resigned at that time his term would have expired the first of December. Mr. Willits, instead of being appointed to fill out Mr. Schermerhorn’s term, was appointed to fill the vacancy between the expiration of Mr. S.’s term and the beginning of the term for which Mr. Willits was elected. The same vacancy existed in the sheriff’s office, only the vacancy was for a month instead of nearly a year.—Albion New Era.

Lake Shore Muil Service is Bad

The Elkhart papers of Wednesday managed to get here Friday morning. That is doing a little better than was the case last week, but the delivery of mail matter within the time indicated is too snail like for this age of steam and electricity. It would hardly be creditable to the days of Concord stage and eorduroy roads. The. postal service in this part of the globe needsstirring up.—South Bend Times. : : A Pretty Present, When you are looking for a pretty gift for Christmas, why not buy one of those pretty booklets issued by the, Presbyterian ladies, “Familiar Quotations.” You could not find anything more suitable. They are of local as well ag literary interest and are sold at a minimum price.

. A FINE RECORD. @ Al : 5 | The Real Estate Firm of Sol Mier Company Report a Big Business—Have a Splendid Record for Fair : e Deaflings and Big Sales. The year just closing has been: remarkable in the great activity in the sale of farm lands and improved farm property, having far surpassed the records of all former seasons. The real estate firm of Sol Mier Company of this city who are the leading if not the largest land owners and dealers in farm lands in the state, have been the most sueccessful and have made a remarkable number of suecessful and excellent deals. Major A. B. Mier who has echarge of this departmentof the firm’s business,points ogg,thv fact that - they have within t!pe last few weeksalone, closed deals in-one locality and within a radius of less than six mules, a total of 2240 acres for the aggregate sum of $143,220. Another recent transaection, no doubt the largest sale of farm property made in Northern Indiana to one individual farmer in recent years amounting to within a few dollars of $40,000, is cited as one of their many sales. Most of these sales have been made to farmers from Illinois, lowa and other out side localities, these nien having sold their high priced lands and seeking a new loecation, were attracted here by the excellent farms and good terms offered by this reputable and wide awalke firm. The Sol Mier Company has recently purchased a number of- fine farins of business men at Milford, Nappanee, Fort Wayne, Lagrange and other points, who have held this land as an investinent and upon shich they realized a good profit. - Major Mier says that his firm has sold many farms ‘in Noble, Allen. Whitley. Steuben, Koseiusko and Lagrange counties and says that in one township alone in Lagrange county they have handled over 1.200 acres during the year. ' They now have some of the finest farms in this part of the state upon their list and they are almost daily aequiring title to other desirable tracts. They now own over 8.000 acres of fine farm lands all in this part of the state and can suit almost any purchaser for the

tracts are from 40 to 360 acres in ex tent. i : T

Speaking about terms, Major Mier says, that a reasonable cash payment is all that is necessary, for the time limit for deferred payments” is inside of twenty years, at six per cent interest or hetter, which gives a wide awake farmer a good chanece to earn a homestead for himself. The Sol Mier Company owns their own land and sell #t direct and not on commission, this alfows them to give terms that a real estate agent can not give under any cirecnmstances. :

Out Again,

Van B. Smith was down town last Monday for the first time since the quarantine was inposed "on account of the smallpox contracted by his grandson- Mr. Smith, like the good citzen he is, confirmed to the rules of the city board of health and isolated _lximéelfzmd»family from his neighbors and used every precaution against a spread of the disease. If all men were as conscientious and careful in the observances of such laws as Mr. Smith and his family have been, such diseases would be easily controled. The people of the community are under obligations to him for his care and consideration of their welfare. .

A Good Christmas Present

year’s subseription to a magazine—such a magazine as The Centary, with its wealth of art and literature —costs no more than bonbons or flowers, gone in a few hours, gives days of profitable pleasure, and keeps warm and bright through twelve months the cheer of a’ sympathetie friend’s gracious thought. Attractive little certificates of subscription are provided to carry with the giver’s card the (,‘hrisfnias mesgage.

Must Lose Their Pay

In many parts of the country the rural route ‘carriers did not make their trips last Saturday on account of the eondition of the roads. The carriers out of Ligonier however, performed their duties, snow or no snow. The rules does not compel the carriers to go out when the travel will endanger the carrier or his horse, but such days are deducted from his pay.

Rank Poisoned Cider,

Several Kendallville citizens went hunting one day last week. They stopped at a farm house where the farmer set out a piteher of cider of which they all drank liberally. lln a few minutes the entire party,individunally and collectively, were sick and awful sick. Serious consequences were feared for several days, but all have fully reeovered. It is now thought that embalming fluid was used by mistake to preserve the cider,

Rates too Low, . Columbia City business men have been enjoying a low rate for electrié¢ lights eversince the plant camge into possession of the city. The rates were way below those echarged in many of the neigharing towns and were held up before the electrie Hght people everywhere and especially in Ligonier. Now comes the Columbia City Post and snys'that tlie rates are below cost and that the city has been making a donacion to the business men every time the lights were turned on. A revision of the rates is demanded for the protection of the taxpayers. o : A handsome Present. - Last summer Harry Dyer who is it Alaska, gsent from. Nome a consignment of fine native furs to John Kinney, jr. Among them were several fine fox skins which Mr. Kinney at once sent to New York to have put into a set of furs for his sister, Miss Margaret Kinney. = They were returned last Friday and are abott the prettiest and most attractive articles of wearing appparel. that, ve have ever seen. The furrier has \'Wruugl':t most excellently and the fine material shows to the best advantage. It is indeed a set of furs of which to be proud. ; :

A Sensible Gift

A little because it’s differcnt from the usual Christmas gifts, most because there is nothing that fills the place of St. Nicholas, a year’s subscription to the prince of all children’s magazines should be among the Christmas presents this vear of every girl and boy in the land. Some youngsters will want to frame the pretty certificate of subscription which sets forth and declares in solemn phrasge the fact of their subseription, duly Asurned and sealed, and every one lucky enough .to find it on tree or stocking will be made merry by its promises of a year’s good fimes. . ;

Other Fellows Kicking Too

The " Albion New Era angd other northern Indiana papers are bitterly complaining about the mail service. Somebody in the railway mail service, either high in authority or in a subordinate position is to blame for this condition. Saturday’s South Bend Times and Elkhart Truoth digd not reach this office’ until Monday noon and the Goshen Demoecrat of the same date came in with the Tuesday’s mail. No blame attachs to fhe Ligonier office as mail is promptly deliver'e% but it is in the syvstem (?) now in vogue on the Lake Shore.

¥lKk’s County Faar at Goshen

Has too Much to do

- Next March. Richard Sweetnam will have held the position as operator and agent at the Lake Shore station in this city for thirty years. He has never missed but little time and has always been a popular, painstaking and obliging official. It is indeed a shame that he should be called npon to perforin the multifarions and onerous duties of the place almost alone and we should think that his long and honorable service would entitle him to some relief from the ardunous duties that are imposed upon him under the present order of things. i ; Died.
