: 9 s @ - 3 ; @The Ligonier DBDanner. , . J. E. McDONALD, Editor. Published every Thursday and entered in the postoffice, Ligonier, Ind., as second-clas matter, . . 'PHONE N 0.13. 7 There seems to be some difference of opinion among DeKalb county democratic editors as to who runs ‘*‘the official democratic newspaper of DeKalb county.” Considerable fuss and feathers has been indulged in about the distinetion. We would like to know what it means to be *‘the official democratic newspaper’’ or how the title can be gained or what it is worth when you have it. We will admit, however, that some newspapers need something of the kind to distinguish them from their republican contemporaries. Their claim to such distinction, printed in tconspicuous places, does sometimes convey the idea tha.t they have taken at some time or will, in the future, take a stand for something democratic. . The unselfish sacrifice of the Hon. Otto Stechhan of Indianapolis is attracting considerable attention among the members of the legislature as well as among the taxpayers generally. Stechhan resides in the capital. He pays his street car fare, or at least it is presumed that he does for he has introduced a bill‘'to reduce- the outof town members mileage -from 'tvwenty cents a mile to flve, thus saving about $2,000 to the state treasury. It takes nerve on the part of an Indianapolis patriot to thus attempt to cut off a time honored pé‘r'quisite of the outsiders. The merchants of Indiana have been asking for a garnishee law similar to that of surrounding states and the bill was introduced by Senator Wood. The labor unions, for some reason or other, fought the bill and the republican bosses have passed the word along the line that.it must not go. Always a climate of unstable and variable humor during the winter months, we are having throughout this latitude an extraordinary exhibition of mixed weather at this time. It is the sudden and sharp changes in temperature thatare so trying upon health and comfort, and the present winter has been fruitful in these capricious and freakish changes. When within twenty-four hours there can be a change of forty-two d_egrees in the temperature, involving a fall from those figures to zero, the versatility of our climate can easily be imagined. Conditions in some of our cities are most deplorable because of the scarcity of coal and the severe weather will work great hardship among the poor. This class is always the sufferer in extreme weather conditions, and those who are protected from the worst éxposures to the rigors of the weather, should aid as far as possible in relieving the sufferings of those to whom extreme cold weather means not on1y a fear of freezing to death, but the pangs of hunger as well. For everybody there should be cautious regard paid to the sudden changes in the temperature and an effort made as far as possible to guard against the ipjury they are so likely to infli_qi;,gd-:x.Beyond these efforts to adjust ourselves to extreme wea%:conditio%re should be a cheerful acceptance of the inevitable. &Sl " TET _ - Russel Sage safié?"that er paid to have his boots shined, Russel very probably has greased s»l;‘\_r;‘:?a,ll higlife. : - . . B RRRRR THe Fort Wayne Republicans can always be depended upon to show their littleness. Now they want the republican legislature to take away from the mayor of that city the right to appoint the city attorney and make it an elective office. They want a chance to vote for city attorney, a right ‘not given to the voters in any other town, city or village in the state. They say further that if they are not given this right, the mayor, who of course is a Democrat, shall not have any increase of salarg. If there is any little thing that the Fort Wayne Republicans want they should dig it out. Now is the accepted time. : , : : BRR R The.re-election of Henry M. Teller as U. S. senator from Colorado was made possible by the loyal support of the democratic members and the jealousy among the Colorado republican leaders who, rather than see Wolcott win, gave up the fight when victory seemed almost sure. That the plans were well laid at Washington to steal the senatorship is very evident but they could not be carried out. Teller is now claimed as a Democrat. The Indianapolis News, the leading republican paper in the state, is against the ripper bill. It is making a strenuous fight against Governor Durbin and his policy. The News is advising Democrats—it puts in about twenty-two months between each election advising Democrats and the other two months supporting the straight republican ticket—to vote against the bill. Two years ago The News did all in its power to elect Durbin. Last year it put in a good share of its energy toward electing a republican legislature and now is asking the Democrats, members of the legislavure, to help it let go, to save it from itself. The News, we should think, would have but little influence with any Democrat, a self-respecting Democrat, who had any standing in his party. Itshould have no more influence than any other republican paper. - v From this distance it looks as if Governor Durbin should win in his fight to control the management of the southern reformatory. That he was treated with scant courtesy by the board is admitted bT\y the most partisan of the friends of the present management. That things have been done and have been omitted, reflecting upon the management is notorious. Thanks to the activity and power of the administration an investigation asked for two years ago by the democratic legislators was made a farce, over the protest of the men who now seek to shield the fellows that they then wished to oust. The Democrats can certainly suffer no discredit, nor can the Republicans gain anything out of the present trouble. RRR RRR : ' Some people seem to think it strange that Governor Durbin should ask democratic aid while others express surprise that democratic members of the assembly should have the temerity tolend him their support in the fight that is now being waged for the control.of one of our state institutions: Governor Durbin has many warm personal friends who are Democrats. He has treated the leading politicians of the opposition with courtesy and has always accorded them a respectful hearing. He has invariably appointed Democrats to positions to be filled by Democrats and he has not tried to evade the law by picking out fellows that were only Democrats in name and not in fact. He has called Democrats to his aid in making his appointments and it i 8 no more than can be expected that he should eall upon them when he needs their support. There are many democratic members of the legislature who believe that Mr. Durbin is right in his fight for supremacy, and who will righteously give-him their votes. < : Because the negro barbers over the state do not like the proposed law ‘the republican bosses are likely to order itkilled by the legislature. It has got to the point that the nigger in politics cuts considerable ice. ‘ - % RRE RRR T Governor Durbin seems, so far, to have the best of the fightover the management of the southern reformatory. : : , : . » 2R 2 RRR | There is no reason why the Democrats in the lower house should vote as a unit against the so-called ripper bill, or for that matter, for it. There are a good many Democrats in the state that think that Gov. Durbin is right, that he has good and sufficient reasons for his course and are anxious ‘that he make a winning fight. As a party the Demoerats can certainly gain nothing by keeping the institution in the hands of the present board “nor can it lose in the proposed change. : ,
That Bunch of Cartoon
The pictures of Senator Conlogue used in a Journal cartoon, “Among the Legislators,” made such a hit with his Ligonier constituents that some of them sent him a funny postal card yesterday. The only address the card bore was, “To This State Senator.”” However, pasted underneath these words was a clipping from The Journal cartoon, with the caption, *A Bunch of Conlogue.” On the back of the card was written: Senator Conlogue, Indianapolis,lnd.: All Noble county citizens says it’s a true picture. Come, Joe, don’t look so serious. Jolly up. Get in the game. Irrigate. Where did you get that hat? Your CONSTITUENTS. The Journal artists¢happened to catch Senator Conlogue when he was in the dumps—the senator, that isp and the expression that the constituents saw on the pictured face of their representative was a very lugubrious one. The senator, however, freely admitted that the pictnres made as big a hit with him as they did with his home people, and it is said that he posed industriously with a happy smile whenever The Journal artist got around in the neighborhood of his desk.—lndianapolis Journal.
Dedication Anniversary
The Sixth anniversary of the dedication of the new M. E. church was celebrated last Sunday. A largeand appreciative audience greeted Rev. Pearce of the Presbyterian church who occupied the pulpit in the morning . and a still larger congregation was .present in the evening when Rev. J. W. Keefer of the Christian church delivered the sermon. 1t was in the nature of a union service, all of the congregations joining in the celebration. The church was still about $1,900 in debt for building and improvements made since, but when the meetings closed on Sunday the debt had been completely wiped out. The offerings Sunday were substantialand went a long way toward paying the debts but through the efforts of Rev. Martin prior to the meeting the money seemed to be assured. He gave his best efforts in the direction of liquidating the debt and his suecess is most gratifying to his congregation who express great obligations to him. Rev. Martin has been doing some most excellent work in Ligonier. ;
Wreck at Albion
The west bound passenger-train over the B. & O. was wrecked at Albion last Saturday aboutnoon, affording a sight to the passengers and a little excitement that is seldom on the bills. On a down grade just eaat of the town, the piston rod of the engine on the passenger train broke, rendering it useless. A freight train of forty cars, loaded with coke was coming but a few miles in the rear of the disabled train. ¥A flagman was sent back to flag it but the heavily loaded train could not be stopped in so short a distance on a grade and consequently crashed into the rear coaches of the passenger train, completely demolishing two cars. . The passenger conductor forseeing the disaster had ordered all passengers out of the cars. They had climbed over a fence into an adjoining field and stood there watehing the catastrophe. The enigneer and fireman of the freight engine were slightly injured in jumping to the frozen ground.
Death from Accident.
Roy Juday, the 16-year-old son of Nelson Juday, of near Benton, died Sunday night from' inflammation of the bowels, resulting from a blow in the abdomen from an 18-year-old son of Chas. Thompson. It appears that on New Year’s night the two young men were in a crowd of young fellows at Benton when Thompson asked Juday to change a dollar. Juday replied that he did not have it, whereupon Thompson grabbed him by the shoulder and gave him a severe punch in the abdemen. The boys were not adgry and it was nothing unusal for them to have a lively tussel. Itisn’t likely any criminal action will be taken against Thompson.—Maillersburg Grit. :
Fighting Over the Spoils.
Waterloo Republicans are in the midst of a postoffice contest that will have to be disposed of by Senator Fairbanks’ in the next few weeks. William Williams was appointed postruaster six years ago, and his name appeared in a list of reappointments agreed on about a year ago. Recently the case has been reopened and is developing factional differences in the county. A. B. Darby, state senator, is backing Williams for reappointment, while Russell L. Hull, the Dekalb representative, who lives at Waterloo (as does Senator Darby), and the county organization, headed by Chairman Jackman of the county committee, are ¢pposing Williams’ reappointment. Several candidates have been mentioned. but the Williams opposition seems to be centering on U. L. Swaizgood.
Suicide at Walkerton
Miss Nellie Stevens, aged 24 years, of Walkerton, Ind., committed suicide Tuesday morney by taking morphine. She died five hours after taking the poison. Bsfore dying, it is said, she claimed to be the wife of Verne Hardenbrook, a pugilist, formerly a resident of this city. She said she was married to him five years ago, but that despite his marriage relations he was giving attenion to a rival, Migs Bentley, and for this reason she killed herself. Miss Stevens was a daughter of the late C. W. N. Stevens, a pioneer merchant of Walkerton, and was considered one of the prettiest girls of the town. She was well known here, having visited Ligonier several times, . .
Firm Dissolves.
The notice of dissolution of the firm of Baum & Levy appears in another column, Mr. Ike Baumretiring from the firm, having disposed of his interests to Mr. Levi who will continue the business as heretofore. The firm of M, Baum & Co. and their successors, Baum & Levi have always enjoved the confidence of our people and have been prominent in the mercantile affairs of our .community. They have enjoyed a good share of the patronage and haue merited well at the hands of the people.: There is much regretthat Mr. Baum has found it necessary to quit business on account of his health and that there is any chance that he may find it advantageous to leave the city. In the meantime the new firm will continue the business and Mr. Levi will doubtless enjoy a full measure of the patronage of our people. He isa wide-awake, up-to-date business man. ; i &
A Well Merited Testimonial
. Last week Harry J. Stansbuary closed his work as Record Keeper for Ligonier Tent No. 11, K. O, T. M., turning his books over to his sueccessor, E. J. Sockrider, who was elected upon the refusal of Mr. Stansbury to longer rémain in the position. The members of the tent, through a committee, presented Mr. Stansbury with a most elegant chair as a slight token of the appreciation of his work while in office. He made a most enviable record. His collections were prompt and his remittances and reports were always on time. During his term of office but few members dropped out for non-payment of dues; in fact, he held for years the best record of any collector in keeping the niembership together. Mr. Stansbury’s other business made it impossible for him to continue in the position. : :
Twelve Senatoxs Control
In an article contributed to Success by Walter Wellman, twelve United States senators are given credit for shaping all legislation. In the list both Indiana senators are included. Maine’s two senators and Ohio’s two senators are also in the list; thus the States of Ohio, Indiana and Maine are cutting quite a figure 1n guiding the old ship of state. Other leaders are Lodge, Aldrich, Platt, Allison, Spooner and “Cullom. It is quite a source of satisfaction to know that Indiana has always been represented in the senate by men who ranked very high in point of ability and statesmanship.
The Charity Tea.
The Charity Tea at the Harmony Club rcoms last Tuesday evening was amost gratifying success, finanecially and socially. The affair was arranged by the ladies of the- Elks’ Lodge— Mrs. S. J. Straus, Mrs. Jacob Sheets. Mrs. I. D. Straas. Mrs. Ashton Sedgwick, Mrs. L. J. Dunning, Mrs. J. L. Graham, Mrs. O. F. Gerber, Mrs. Abe Goldsmith, Mrs. W. G. Brown and Mrs. Frank Smith participating in the work. The ladies were all dressed alike, the costumes being neat and tasty. The service was most excellent and the lunch most toothsome The affair netted a neat little sum, to be expended for charity. _
Lum Cain Chokes to Death.
- Columbus C. Cain came to the city this morning from his home in Orange toWnship to do some trading, and at the noon hour was invited home to dinner by his son, .John Cain, which he accepted. During the progress of the meal he complained about the beefsteak being ing tough and left the table, going out into the yard. He soon returned and said to his son, ““If I do not get this meat out of my throat I will die.” The family realized his condition and did all in their power to relieve him and immediately svmmoned medical aid by telephone, but he expired before the physician arrived.—Kendallville Sun, : : Sugar Beet Culture. ' The Kalamazoo Beet Sugar Co. has been haying agents in several neighboring counties trying to interest the farmers in sugar beet culture. In Elkhart county farmers have so far agreed to plant about 300 acres and it is claimed by the promoters that at least 500 acres will be secured before planting time. One of the inducements offered to the farmers, especially those raising - stock, is that the pulp of their crop isshipped back to them and it makes splendid feed, it being asserted that cattle fed on it can be fattened at half the usual expense. : ;
Men Wanted for the Navy.
Uncle Sam has need of 6,000 young and able-bodied men for service in the navy, and wants them badly. It is a steady job, and the pay 1s fair, but the trouble is that among the eligible young men of the country there is an impression that he who enlists leaves hope behind. Unele Sam could very largely destroy this impression by . making it possible for meritorious seamen to earn promotion. There is no greater incentive to the ambitious soldier or sailor than promotion.
A Coal Oil Burner Swindle.
Logansport housewives claim they have been neatly flimmed by an itinerant agent who is selling patent coal oil burners, which are said to be absolutely worthless, and now the Logansport police are looking for him with a view of landing him behind the bars. The sample he shows as a substitute for coal as a fuel, burns to perfection. Those he furnishes are a fraud. Look out for him.

Harry Weir Killed-
At North Ambherst, Ohio, last night Harry Weir, the youngest son of ExMayor John Weir of this city, was killed while in the discharge of his duty as brakeman on a Lake Shore freight. No particulars of the aceident are at hand. Mr. Weir had been in railroad work for several years, having a natural inclination in that direction.

Dr. J. E. Lucky of Wolf Lake was here last Saturday looking after personal business. He says that the electric road from Goshen to Fort Wayne will be built, work to begin early in the year. Nearly 80 per cent of the right of way has been secured. The line will go through Wolf Lake.
Sol Mier has been considering the plans for his new home to be erected early in the year. Wing & Mahurin of Fort Wayne have the matter in charge and will have the final plans ready for inspection in about six weeks. Mr. Mier will build one of the finest homes in this part of the state. :
It seems that the fellow who got the coal oil job in this distsict which John W. Baker could have had by selling out is an ex-democrat. He must have wanted officemighty badly to take such a job as that. - But some men are easily satisfied.—Columbia City Post.
William Trende, aged 75 years, of South Bend, was found dead in the kitchen of his home last Thursday. He had evidently been dead for two weeks and the body was frozen stiff. His wife was sick at Elkhartand the neighbors thought that he was also there. He had died while at the supper table. : :
Pierpont Morgan is undoubtedly the most fascinating figure before the world today. ‘ Mr. Morgan, His Advisers and His Organization’ are discussed at length in the January Cosmopolitan by John Brisben Walker, who spent ten days between Mr. Morgan’s: and ‘Mr. John Mitchell’s offices, in September, in the attempt to settle the coal strike.
A strike among the moter-men and conductors on the South Bend street railway and the inter-urban line between Goshen and Elkhart has made traveling upon that" line yery uncertain and in some instances most unpleasant, since Sunday last. The cause of the strike was a demand for higher wages and in retaliatipn for the discharge of several men engaged in the organization of a union.
Men who have business out on the roads these days find it pretty tough sledding and worse wheeling. H. J. Stansbury, the Standard Oil distributor, got stuck several times between this city and Syracuse on Tuesday, and yesterday started for Albion with a four*horse team, hardly knowing whether he would be able to. pull through or not. It appears to us that there ;should be some .arrangement that would compel road supervisors to look after the bad places ‘in this season of the year.
