McDONALD, Editor Publxshed.every Thursday and entéred in the postoﬁlcg, :ngomer,_l_nvdv , as sec‘;)lvl(; Zla: matter : ; 'PHONE No. 13. - e It is a growing belief that sooner or iater, the great railway interests of the country will have to take account of the competition of the interurban roads; that they will, for the sake of self-protection, be obliged to gain control of them. There are indications that this process is already beginning. The Chicago Record-Herald says: The New York Central was the first railway to recognize the existence of trolley line competition, and it is not strange, therefore, that the Vanderbilts have become the first to launch a plan for meeting such competition. The preliminary plan discloses a syndicate known as the Vanderbilt-An-drews syndicate, which is to be superseded by the New York Central Trol-. ley Company. The latter will have a capitalization sufliciently large to warrant the absorption of all trolley lines which come into direct competition with the lines of the New York Central or threaten to do so, and also to lease that portion of therailroad company’s road which is to be operated by electric motors. For the present the purchase of only two electric roads is purposed, bat eventually, it is believed, all trolley lines in: Vanderbilt territory will be absorbed and will be operated and deyeloped in harmony and in conjunction with: the steam railroads. The actior of the New York Central is significant and of great importance to the entire country, for it is the assumption of a policy which is bound to be followed by all the big railway systems. Already the Lehigh Valley has purchased several trolley lines an(} will undoubtetly imitate the new organization of the New York Central. ; . R RRERR 7 . : " It is pretty fairly settled that this year’s wheat yield will be below that of the two preceding seasons, but it is likely to exceed the crop inany other year. The outlook a few months ago was for a record-breaking yield of this cereal. Expegtations have been disappointed to some extent, but not to the extent which was feared three or four weeks ago. Corn promises to beat all the records this year, though, of course, the next three or four weeks will be a critical time for corn. If frost is postponed until after September 10 or 15, the corn crop of 1904 stands a chance to pass the 2,600,000,000 mark. Thus far 2,523,000,000 bushels, which were harvested in 1902. was the biggest yield. To the country as a whole,all this is good news. With good crops of wheat, corn, cotton, hay and potatoes the prosperity of the country is assured. : . : : R R R RRR : The Boston Globe does not think that Mr. Davis’s candidacy will suffer by reason of Mr. Root’s attack upon him because of his age. It notes that many men have reached extreme age with powers unimpaired, and then says:. - . The presidential succession isB now so arranged by the law of 1891 that the nation is amply protected. After the president and the vice-president, the secretary of state assumes the reins of government. Then come the other cabinet officers. What president ever appointed a weak man for secretary of state? ‘Were there ever abler men in the vice-presidency than Clay, Webster, Cass, Everett, Seward Fish, Blaine, Bayard, Gresham, Olney and Hay, secretaries of state? Men of presidential caliber are usually placed in that office. The candidacy of Senator Davis will not suffer from _such an assault as has been made upon it. This farmer boy and railway brakeman, who has worked himself up-from poverty, with his happy dis_position and admirable business qualifications, and lon® and honorable public career, can afford to be amused by the efforts of Mr. Root to alarm the country concerning his mental abilities. : : , RRR BRR . The Fort Wayne newspapers are in a strenuous political discussion that "has already become more than personal. Double leaded invictive and two _column arguments are in order. Ata safe distance from the torrid zone’ of political activity where the heat is,not so furious we are inclined to admonish our friends to keep cool. 1t seems that a discussion of the respective merits of Capt. Newton W. Gilbert and Hon. James M. Robinson has called out this exhibition of gall and wormwood. ’ 2 EXR R RR / ; The Philadelphia Ledger rejoices in the prospect of a quiet, deliberative campalign. Itsays: _ s There will be plenty of interest in politics as the season advances, but this does not promise, at present, to be a-brass band campaign. To the smaller type of politicians, who base their calculations less upon reason than upon prejudice or interest, and who want| to be up and doing and spending the campaign funds, this quiet deliberation appears very dull and apethetic. To the rational American who has faith in the controlling good ggod sense of his countrymen, it affords broad grounds for satisfaction. ince we must elect a president every four years, why should we not learn’ to do it with dignity and without disturbance? , - 2R R % PR : There is no longer a doubt about the strike of the Chicago butchers being a failure. Appearances of astrike may be kept up for some time, but « the ‘‘real thing’ has vanished. The strikers are beaten, and they are beaten, and they are beaten because public sentiment is against them. The sezond strike was ordered in direet violation of the agreement made in the settlemgnt of the first strike. There wasn’t a particle of sénse in this performance. President Donnelly, who had up to that time been considered a man qf sense and fairness, seems all of a sudden to have lost his head.’ The packers, though greatly inconvenienced and annoyed, now have the situation in hand. They are not incl'me&furth'er to treat with the union as an _organization, on account of the expéfience they have had recently. Howeyver much Dennelly may deny, it is daily becoming more and more apparent that the strikers are working their way back into the packing houses, making terms on their individual account and respongibility. These men don'’t care to suffer longer just to help the strike leaders out of the dilemma into which their impetuosity led them. : : : ' o SRR RRR - In his first annual message to congress Abraham Lincoln said: ‘Men with their families—wives, sons and daughters—work for themselves,-on their farms, in their homes, and in their shops, taking the whole product to themselves—and asking no favors of capital on the one hand, nor of hired labor or slaves on the other. It is not forgotten that a considerable number of persons mingle their own labor with capital; that is, they labor with _their own hands and also buy or hire others to labor for them, but this is ~only a mixed and not a distinet clags.” : : ' . AR RN ' - The Democrats in all parts of the country are enthusiastic and confident of victory. They have a candidate who appeals to them and to the good sense of all the people. He is the man who will put an end to the recklessness of the past few years. With such a man for president there will be no more ventures made in the way of conquestin lands far distant from our _shores. The project of undertaking to civilize semi-savages by gun and _bayonet will not be a part of his program, nor will he favor the idea of holding millions of subjects under the domination of this republic keptin a state of submission by a large standing army at a tremendous cost to the Ameridan people. The peopls are tired of the “war god” and will hail wish delight the coming of the man of peace.—Columbia City Post..

INDIANA DAY. . September Ist to be Indiana State Day at World’s Fair. = Thursday, September 1, has been designated as Indiana day at the World’s Fair. The Indiana World’s fair commission is making elaborate preparation for making Indiana day one of the greatest events of the exposition and invites the co-operation of all citizens of Indiana to that end. } Governor Durbin and his staff will attend and participate in the events of the day. All the state officials, of the congressmen and other prominent men of the state have indicated their intentions to make Indiana day ‘an event worthy of our state. The details of the program are not yet completed but the exercises will consist of a civil and a military parade, composed of the governor and his staff, the Indiana Commission, state officials, citizens of Indiana escorted by a battalion of regular army troops. The famous Packard ‘band of Fort Wayne and the Indi‘anapolis News’ Newsboys band will ‘also participate. : : The parade will move from the administration building at 1 o’clock, p. m., proceeding to the Indiana state building, where there will be addresses by Governor Durbin, Lieut. Gov. Gilbert, Senator Fairbanks and other prominent Indianians. :

Kvery citizen of Indiana will be given a handsome souvenir badge when he registers at the state building.

In the evening an informal reception will be given by the Governor and the members of the Indiana Commission, to which every citizen of Indiana is invited. No invitations will be issued to the citizens of the state, b_ut a general invitation is extended to all through the press of the state. ‘Any person wearing the state badge will be heartily welcome. The railroads have agreed to a rate of one cent a mile for this occasion. Tickets will be on sale on all railroads on Wednesday, August 3lst, good returning any time within seven days. ; : ) ; There is considerable rivalry among the states as to which will make the best showing on their state days, and it is sincerely hoped that the citizens of Indiana will take sufficient interest in the matter to place their state in a position that we can be proud of.’ ’ Everything will be most favorable to enjoy the exposition durrﬁg the first week of September. The weather there is unusually pleasant at that time- and there is less'liability of rain than later in the fall.

The Indiana building will be the headquarters of Indiana people. This building is not the largest of the state structures, but is one of the most commodious and in the exquisiteness of its design is second to none. The

building is near the southeast entrance at the corner of the two main avenues of state buildings. ~ Indiana has signalized herself already in the interest which she has taken in the exposition and the exhibits of the state, the commissioners believe, will be a pride to every guest. One of the mostinteresting exhibits will be that of the horticultural and agricultural products. Even months before the fair was opened the commission was busy laying plans fqii‘ this display. The educational wor of the state is very thoroughly exposed and in the art department are many interesting studies from Indiana artists.

The collection of hand painted china which has been gathered from many different parts of the state is one of the best on the exposition grounds, and the many varieties of woman's work were collected only by the most careful and untiring efforts on the part of the commissgion. Family Reunion. A very pleasant family reunion oeccured at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Stansbury Wednesday evening, August 17. The affair was rather unpremeditated, being thougth of only a day or two before. It was suggested by the fact that all the children were in' Ligonier or within-easy call. The following relatives were present, Mrs. Connor of Elkhart, G. L. ‘Hariling, wife and daughter of Denver, Colo., Mrs. Freeland and daughter of South Bend, E. O. Stansbury of Tuscola, 111., Charles and Harry Stansbury and their families, Messrs. J. C,and J. H. Stansbury, Mr. Bert Stansbury and Mrs. Charles Graham of Ligonier, Mrs. Degenhart and children of Dallas, Texas, Mrs. J. D. Myers, Miss Edith Myers and Mrs. Howenstein and son of Goshen. " A bountiful supper was served on the lawn, after which the guests viewed some of the planets through the telescope, and the evening was spent in conversation, music and reeitations. All present enjoyed the occasion and the party adjourned at a late hour. ' * % ; Should Be Klected. - Philemon B, Green of Ligonier, was nominated Tuesday at Albion as the democratic candidate for prosecutor for the counties of Whitley and Noble. He was placed in nomination by Judge Adair, who paid a glowing tribute to the young attorney for his ability, his character and his worth as a man and citizen. The nomination was made by acclamation, and Mr. Green accepted it in a graceful and cleverly worded speech. ~ Mr. Green 18 about thirty years of age and makes a fine appearance. It is expected that he will poll a very heavy vote in Noble county and that he will be ei‘ect;ed«.—-()alum%v Post. ; Lo B

- LOSE TWO GAMES The Earth Sellers Beaten at Columbia City—Two Good Contests—Need . More Ginger. After winning for six straight games the locals went to Columbia City last Saturday for two conteats and were defeated in both, by a narrow margin it is true, but defeated. The Saturday game was won and lost by some ragged playing upon the part of Inks and Cannon who were in the outfield. Near the close of the game when the Ligonier team was well in the lead with two men on bases and two men out, Inks muffed a line drive that allowed two runs to score. Cannon’s muff of a fly was also a costly error. "StutZman was not in the game on account of sickness and. a Columbia City player was drafted into service. Gillis at‘;id Searls were at the points and with decent support“ would have won the game easily. ‘ The score was 6 to 5. i ! The Sunday Game. | The game Sunday attracted a large and appreciative crowd. Justbefore the game a sudden shower put the grounds in bad condition and a tedious wait was made until the managers procured a few bushels of saw- ‘ dust for the pitcher’s box and to dry. up the mud where the batter had to stand. Mr. Boyd, late of the Knox ’tea’m, was in the bex, and he, with the aid of a very astute umpire, kept Ligonier from making any effective hits at the right time. For thirty years or more we have watched base ball, have seen all kinds, colors and shades of yellow umpiring, but the Columbia City individual who essayed to call balls and strikes for last Sunday’s game was saffron hued to a finish. It would take a painter months to set such a shade%f yellow. With Cannon, the center of the plate had to be split, but Boyd could put them any old place when good batters 'were up and it would be a strike. The ‘only run of the game made by Ligo‘nier was in the second inning when 'McElwain hit one squarely on the nose for a home run. The ball went clear 6ut of the lot. Mr. Cannon who pitched for Ligonier was off color, giving six men first base on balls. He had pyor control but even then but few runs were made. Taylor and Gillis both made sensational catches in the field, saving what looked like sure runs. Thescore was 3 to 1 in ravor of Columbia City. : : The Indian Games. : Tuesday, the Cherokee Indians came to town. That is, themanager, two Indians, several ball players and ‘a couple of helpers, put in their appearance to fill the date, The game in the afternoon demonstrated that as base ball players, the go-called Indians are a distinet frost. Outside of one or two of the infleld and the pitcher who was too tired to pick up a ball, the fellow having pitched for three days straignt, the playing was distinctly yellow. After the first inning it was apparent that the home team would have a walk away. The score~is in no way indicative of the merits of the playing of the two teams. The locals made no effort to shut them out and after getting a good lead did not seem to care if any more runs were made. The game was one of the poorest played here for years. - :

1t is due the managers of the local team to note that they made a most substantial kick to the manager of the Indians (?) and he admitted that he did not carry out his contract in bringing such a weak team. He had to hire one local player and secured the services of Albert Dickenson who made a pretty good Indian, as good as the average at least. The score was 8 to b, with the following summary: _ Cherokee Indians B H PO A E Ote e 0. s sl 2 5 0 0 PD.Peake rf. .. o 1 & 0. 0. .0 Willlems, ¥. . ... .0 § 9 3. ¢ Dickenson;ef’. . . ..+ 0 "0 9 06 0 Mifler, 1. .. i 0000 30 8 0 0 GopPeake; 2. 00l ke w 8 60 0 Martin s .20 oL onigalioal b 1o ) ke 8D i v vn 2 1 g 0 1 Weaver b . . lanaeii 4] 0 1 Hotel . ... .05 18 Wow 9§ Ligonier R H PO A E Gage, 8. iv e 0 0 0 Somerlott'2b . oo a 0 ) fNenrles, 0. i v enanliade i 8 o ] Gie et 00l 0 Paylor, of ¢ .

The novelty of a night game of ball attracted a big crowd Tuesday evening, at least 800 paid admissions passing the gates. It was not base ball that the people saw but something akin to it. Those who participated and who witnessed it seemed to enjoy the novelty and all appeared to be satisfied with the amusement afforded. At first it looked as if the visitors would win the game easily on account of the fact that the locals knew nothing about how the game was played but the KEarth Sellers soon got next to the points of the )game and it was not long ‘until they fwere in the lead. Taylor and Searls was the Ligonier battery and they did efficient work at the points, The score was 19to 13 in favor of the locals. Obituary.

The glassblowers in camp at Loon Lake are extremely fond of turtle soup and the cateh of turtles about the lake being rather meagre, a party of them went to Richmond township a few days ago in search of more abundant foundation material for their favorite dish. As a resultof one day’s work along Fish creek, southeast of Metz, they got 67 big turtles, no attempt being made to catch little ones. The largest one eaught weighed 32 pounds, and the weight of the aggregate catch was estimated to be at least 1000 pounds. One of them had ‘*1864” carved on his back.—Angola Magnet.
