AN OLD FAVORITE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALAAAALAAAAAAAAAAAALAAAAALAAAA THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD By Theodore O’Hara _———————— -=) THEODORE O'HARA, a soldier and poet, was born " EE at Danville, Ky., Feb. 11, 1820.

HE muffled drum’'s sad roll has , i beat i The soldier's last tattoo! * No more on life’s parade shall meet : That brave and fallen.few, On fame's eternal camping ground Their silént tents are spread, And glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead. No rumor of the foe's advance Now swells upon the wind; No troubled thought at midnight haunts > Of loved ones left behind; No vision of the morrow’s strife : Thé warrior’s dream alarms; _ No brayving horn nor screaming fife At dawn shall call to arms. - Their shivered swords are red with rust, ey Their plumed heads are bowed, Their haughty banner, trailed in dust, Is now their martial shroud, And plenteous funeral tears have 5 washed. | The red stains from each brow, And the proud forms, by battle gashed, Are free from anguish now. The neighing troop, the flashing _ - blade, 5 : The bugle's stirring blast, The charge, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are passed; — Nor war's wild note nor glory's peal Shall thrill with fierce delight - Those breasts that never more may feol - ; = The rapture of the flight. * Like the fierce northern hurricane . - That sweeps'this great plateau, Flushed with the triumph yet to gain, Came down the serried foe, Who heard the thunder of the fray Break o’er the field beneath, : Knew well the watchword of that day Was *“Victory or death!” e

The Ligonier 1 @he Ligonier Banner: J. E. McDONALD, Editor Published every 'lfbursde.y aud entered in the postoflice, (Ligonier, Ind., as second-clgs matter : 'PHONE No. 13. Any man, Demoerat or Republican, who is elected to public office by vote of the people has a right to respect and honor. The fact that in this country we have no press censor or penalty for lese-majesty should not expose our public officials to unwarranted attacks upon private character. A man’s public acts-and official policies are proper subjects for oratorical invective, but his private life is his own and, if honorable, should be held inviolate. More respect for our president, be he Democrat or Republican, will have a wholesome efféet upon all citizens and conduce to a better Americanism.—Kansas City Journal. ‘ R RRBRR - “ One who has had an inside view into the things that burden mankind declares the mortgage to be a self-supporting institution. It always holds itsown. It calls for just as many dollars' when grainis cheap as when grain is dear. It is not affected by the drought. 1t is not drowned out by the heavy rains. It never winter kills. - Late springs and early frosts never trouble It. Potato bugs do not disturb it. Motks and rust do not destroy it.” It grows nights, Sundays, rainy days, and even holidays. It bringsa sure crop every year, and sometimes twice a year. It produces cash every time. It does not have to wait for the market to advance. It is not subject to speculations of the bulls and -bears on the board of trade. I[tisa load that galls and frets and chafes. ~ It is a burden that.a man cannot shake off. It eats with him at the table. It gets under his pillow when he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulders during the day. Itconsumes his grain erop. It devours his cattle. _lt selects the finest horses and the fattest steers. It lives upon the first Truit of the season. ‘lt stalks into the dairy where the busy housewife toils day after day and month after month and takes the choicest cheese and the choicest butter. ‘lt shares the children’s bread and robs them of their clothes. Itstoopsthe toiler’sback with its remorselegs burden of care. It hardens his hands, benumbs his locks and oftentimes sends him and his aged wife over the hills to the poorhouse. It is the inexorable and exacting taskmaster. Its whip is as merciless and cruel as the lash of the slave driver. As a permanent ‘‘fixture” it has, not altogether unjustly or inappropriately, been described and denounced as “a menace to liberty, a hindrance to progress, and a curse to the world.” The aim of the thoughtfud, calculating toiler should be to shake off this incubus in the years of hig prime and not permit it to weigh him down in his declining years. . - = ‘ T R RRRRR The Nashville Banner thinks that the digsatisfaction of the eastern independent press with Judge Parker is because he does not relegate to the rear all thatsupported Bryanism. It says: : The New York papers have seemed to demanl an entire relegation of all Demeocrats who were among Mr. Bryan'’s - earnest supporters to the rear while the campaign management be given over entirely to those Democrats who rejected the Nebraskan. It isfor this reason thatthey have displayed a critical and hostile spirit toward Mr. Thomas Taggart, the committee chairman. Their policy is intolerant, narrow, and would be ruinous if Judge Parker-could be induced to follow it. = It contends that Parker’s view is that democratic divisions are thus: It makes no difference in the present campaign how Democrats stood in 1896 and 1900. It is the reunited party that is endeavoring to elect Judge Parker, and that can best be done by completgly ignoring past quarrels and dead issues. : b

o - R RRRRR i The (Jhi"ca.go Chronicle advises all of its readers to see the World’s fair. This is good advice and does credit to that paper, printed as it is in Chicago. The Chronicle is quite considerate in saying this: The World’s Columbian exposition in Chicago is generally the standard of comparison, and while one-half of the visitors consider that the I.ouisiana purchase exposition surpasses-the Chicago exposition, the other half is just as certain that the Chicago exposition was the flner of the two. It is not at all impossible that both opinions are correct. The St. Louis exposition is projected on a scale three or four times as great as the Chicago exposition, its architectural merits are fully as great and its exhibits are probably just as vast in quantity and attractive in quality. : On the other hand, it is probably true that in point of natural beauty the Chicago exposition excelled. It is not St. Lounis’ fault that it is not situated on Lake Michigan, that it has no wooded isle, no court of honor of erystal water and no entrancing vistas of architecture, lagoon and foliage. The white city will always remain an unapproachable dream of loveliness, at least to Chicago people. This does not prevent us from appreciating the marvelous work that St. Louis has accomplished nor from advising every man, woman and child in Chicago who can afford it, to visit the Louisiana purchase exposition. To do so will be equivalent to a liberal education. : Moreover, these gigantic displays are, for some unknown reason, falling into desuetude and this may be the last opportunity that this generation will have to see one of them. - : : o ; * R E OBRR First, let me tell you why we oppose Roosevelt. In our opinion he is erratic, meddlesome, spectacular—just the man likely to do something to injure our country. The fact that at this'very day the republican party leaders are kagping Roosevelt quiet shows how dangerous even they regard him. How ‘more of a menace to the peace of our country will he be if the people elect him, for he will surely regard his election as an indorsement of his personality. 1t is difficult to predict what may happen during his administration. He has such an exalted opinion of himself that he is absolutely above taking advice from any man or number of men. Should he be elected the business world for four years would be on the anxious seat, never knowing what next day might bring forth.—Herman Ridder to Democratic Editors. = : ; : b B®R2R R 5 , ~ Two dollar wheatis now predicted. Roosevelt should issue a supplement to his letter of aceeptance claiming credit for this great prospective increase in the price of the cereal.

Class rushes, hazing and all the other dangerous demonstrations supposed to be the necessary accompaniments of the “higher education,”’ are just at present occupying the attention of the young collegians. Incidentally they are also filling the hospitals temporarily and filling the minds of anxious. parents as they read over the list of wounded. At Purdue wuniversity in the annual ‘“tank scrap” last week, there were fifty students hurt, five seriously. If such things should occur at the Roby race . track, there would be a demand for the governor to call out the militia.—Mishawaka Enterprise. Long L_io-?t:; ;;E;afi;ualties. * The railway casudlties in the United States for the year ending June 30, 1903, were 86,393—9,840 killed and 76,653 injured. One passenger was killed of every 1,957,441 carried and one injured for every 84,421 carried. For each passenger killed 58, - 917,645 passenger miles were accomplished and for each injured 2,541,096 passenger miles. Oneemploye in every 364 was killed and one in every 22 injured. America could fight one big battle like that of Liao-Yang each year and yet suffer no more deaths and casualties thanshe is now suffering from railroad accidents.

Tribute to the Union Soldiers. John M. Thurston pays the following: tribute to the heroes of the civil war: . “*Sometimes in passing along the street I meet a man who on the left lapel of his coat wears a little bronze button. The coat is often old and rusty, the face seamed and furrowed by the toil and suffering of years. Perhaps above it hangs an empty sleeve and below it stumps a wooden peg. But when [ meet a man who wears that button I doff my hat and stand, uncovered in his presence—yea, to me the very dust his weary feet have passed is holy ground for I know that man in the dark hour of the nation’s peril bared his breast to the hell of battle to keep the flag of our country in the union sky. Maybe at Donnelson he reached the inner trench: at Shiloh held the broken line; at Chattanooga climbed the flame-swept hill or stormed the Lookout Heights. He was not born or bred to a soldier’s life. His country’s summons called him from the bench, the mine, the store, the office, the college, the sanctuary. He did not fight for the greed of gold, to find adventure or to win renown. He loved the peace of quiet ways; and yet he broke the clasp of clinging arms, turned from the bewitching glance of tender eyes, left goodbye kisses on tiny lips to look death in the face on desperate fields. And when [the war was over, he quietly took up the broken threads of love and life as best he could, a better citizen for having been 8o good a soldier.”’ :

- Operated Heroically Upon Himself. An unusual feat of operating was performed by Dr. C, Fisher, head physician of the Wabash College at Little Orleans, Ind., upon himself for blood poisoning. KFor nearly a week he has been suffering from a violent infection of the left foot, and last night it became alarming, extending as far as the knee. With the assistance of the hospital nurses, Dr. Fisher, without taking an anaesthetic, cut from the instep to the toes, down to the tendons and bone, scraping and gouging among the diseased tissues. He suffered great agony for nearly half an hour, while the operation continued, and was exhausted at the close. By his promptness and thoroughness he is in a fair way to save not only his life, but his leg and foot.—South Bend Daily Times. Noble County Bride Deserted. The morning papers carried the story of desertion by Fred B. Hoover, who several weeks since married a young woman of Albion, who had known him a few months. He took her to Chicago, saying he was going there to buy $12,000 worth of jewelry to open a store, but he left her ata strange hotel without explanation, funds or friends near at hand. Here is the groundwork for another divorce case, one of thousands of such cases, because the laws are so lax and society so lenient with the Hoovers. The young wife must return to her old work with sorrows weighing down her life while life lasts.- There is certainly no punishment legalized that fits this crime.—Fort Wayne News. : ; §

.The Latest in Thieving. The latest and most novel experience in thieving has recently come to the experience of the Lake Shore railway company. On Tuesday and again on Friday of this week service between Elkhart and Chicago was interrupted on one Associated. Press wire and one leased wire. A man was started out to search for the trouble and succeeded in finding it near Pine, where it was discovered that 300 feet of each wire, or the portion reaching from one pole to another had been cut out. This was done after climbing the poles. The wire used by the company is heavy copper and the 600 feet stolen would have considerable value.—Elkhart Review. ;| , Work of Fish Pirates ~ John Schlabach, while seraping on the Island, drove over the cave and his mare dropped in, and it took some work to get herout. John supposed he was back of the cave but upon examination it was discovered that the cave had a partition which looked very much like the back wall and it is presumed that this secret apartment was used by our friend Morrison to keep fishing tackle that the game wardens are looking for, such as nets, spears, ete. The mare was almostentirely covered or buried alive, the hole being seven feet deeg. —Cromwell News. ‘lq

A Pleasant Surprise, S -A'pleasant surprise was planned on Miss Mabel Bourie Tuesday evening at the hionye of Mrs. Jacob Sheets on Cavin street in the way of a kitchen shower, After placing the kitchen utensils; which had been presented, upon a table, Miss Bourie was requested to open them. Several of the presents were rather unique but nevertheless aeceptable, A twocourse luncheon was served after whieh music by Miss Anna Sack, and a booth where fortunes were told, furnished amusement until a late hour. . - |

Milford serves all alike, and arrests are never made for drunkenners herv. There has not been a fine asIsessed in this town -for such an offense for a half-dozen years, and yet the offenses are rare.

That’s the way to run a town.—Milford Mail. I Freight Thievek Caught. ~ After a running pistol fight and a ‘hand to hand struggle, Chief Rank and Detective Mann of the Lake Shore road, captured two members of ‘a gang of freight carrobbers near LaPorte. The prisoners gave the names of John J. Spellman and Edward James, and are Dbelieved to have 'rtolen hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise from Lake Shore & Michigan Southern trains recently, and were robbing a car in a moving train when seen by ‘the conductor, He notified the detective departinent. Rank and Mann started in search of the robbers, whom they found hiding in a corn field. The robbers at once showed fight, and then made a dash for liberty, Rank and Mann giving chase. A running fight ensued, the officer§ emptying their revolvers at the fugitives, who returned the fire, For two miles the chase continued, and resulted in the capture of both. Spellman confessed to being leader of a gang that the railroads in this vieinity for years have been trying to break up. .

Skeleton Identified. : The finding of a skeleton in a field near Auburn by a surveying party has it is believed, solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Jasper Matthews, a bricklayer who was last seen one night five years ago as he left a resort on the shores of Hamilton lake in a boat to go te his home. The skeleton was'identified by means of a revolver, keys and arule found near by. A bullet hele in the skull strengthens the belief which has prevailed since his disappearance that Matthews had been murdered. A day or two ago while Surveyor Orewiler of Steuben county and a force of men were surveying for aditch about three miles northwest of the log cabin through a tamarack marsh, Mr. Orewiler found lying close to a log theskull of a man which is believed to be that of Mr. Matthews. Relatives of Matthews were at once notified and identified the articles found with the skeleton as his property. A
