Great Actress to Be Seren—Florence Rob‘ erts to Play an Engagement at the Jefferson in Goshen By far the most important an-| nouncement coming from the Jeffer-' son theater in Goshen so far this season is that Florence Roberts, the great emotional actress, will appear there Friday eveniug, October 20th, when she will be seen in ber latest play, “The House of Bondage.” It is in this drama that Miss Roberts is declared to have the greatestrole she has portrayed in her entire career. She will be supworted by a superb cast which includes Arthur Forrest and Tharlow Bergen. ° Miss Roberts israted among the =ery greatest of- the American amotional actresses, taking rank alongside Mrs. Fiske and Mrs. Leslie Carter. A few seasons ago when Miss Roberts played “The Strength of the Weak” atthe Jefferson she took her audience by storm and her ‘L return, under these conditions, is awaited with much more than the ordinary amount of interest. Ligonier people wanting seats should phone or address the Jefferson box office. By many people Miss Roberts is regarded as the finest actress who has yet acted in the Jefferson, not excludiog even Mrs. Leslie Carter. *“l'ne House of Bondage’ was seegured for - Miss Roberts by her manager’ John Cort, after long drawn »ut negotiations. It is said tobesa 7lay in whiech the emotional powers »f Miss Roberts are given full scope o»nd in which she achieves the most brilliant results. ad : People who go to the Jefferson to ~see Miss Roberts may anticipate ‘an evening of great acjing for in addition to the star, Arthur Forrest was especially selected for the part he plays. , s ‘ Hypoecrisy in Polities : - When J.

; Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall _ Tom Marshall one day last week delivered a rousing speech at Biufiton, As elsewhere, he was aeccompanied by his wife. She has been with him in all his meetings since the campaign began. That she 'is a lady of rare accomplishments is evidenced by the following statement of thé Bluffton Banner: While much of the success of his campaign is due to Thomas R. Marshall himself, nevertheless, no small portion can be ascribed to the pleasant traveling companion of his work, Mrs. Marshall. A women of rare grace and ability to adapt herself to all conditions, pretty and a good conversationalist, she greets with her| with ber husband the many men and women who gather to receive them as they journey from town to town. Mrs. Marshall is not she stated, active in politics- She. accompanies Mr. Marshall because it is her pleasure to be with him and because she has always done so. She is howeyer, greatly interested in the politics of the day, and while she rarely ap- l plauds her husband during his addresses, her eyes and animated features betray her thoughtseven better. 2 Mrs. Marshall does not .believe in woman suffrage. She stated she had no desire whatever to vote and was more than willing that affairs of the nation should be handled by the sterner sex. Nevertheless, she does think that a close relationghip of the women with the principals is necessary and tends to better politics in every instance. There is no doubt but that an influence exerted by such women as the wife of the democratic candidate for governor is feit by all with whom she 2omes in contact. The trip through Indiana has been a pleasant feature of their life, and while she has no doubt whatever but that her husband will be the next governor of Indiana, she added that if there was such a thing as his not ‘being elected,she was -amply repaid for her exertions put forth. Her treatment by the people with whom she stopped has been of the most royal nature. When che atrived in _Bluffton she was received by many “women with whom dinner was ‘served, and later greeted by throngs of ladies frg{m the city and country, This, Mrs. Marshall states, was but a repetition of what she has met with everywhere. 2 g Something Doing in Ohid & Chairman Mack refuses to recede frm his figures that Mr. Bryan will - earry New York by a hundred thousand majority, and says that he will not be satisfled with a vote less. .Bome people are hard to satisfy. Out here we shall be satisfled if Mr, Bryan’s majority in that state is as large as it is in Ohio, which is pat ting it close to the fifty thousand

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908.

"Looks Good in Ohio After spending a couple days in Ohio, Walter Wellman has come to the conclusion that the. Buckeye state is one of the most doubtful states in the union. Wellman finds that the laboring men are drifting to Bryan in spots and the spots are large and numerous. There may be anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 such changes and there may be more of them. It is impossible to get at the figures accurately. Taft is out on a tour of the state trying e break up the drift to Bryan, but it is probable that he will only make a bad matter worse. The state has twenty-three electoral votes and they will help out Bryan in nice shape. It 1s not alone in Ohio that the labor vote is tending Bryanward but all over the county. The republicans are count--Ing on gains among the farmers, but there are changes there also. The farmers are not to be fooled this year. They are getting a lesson in the price of wool, sheep, hogs, hay and cloverseed. They know the republican party has not been making good in the last year. The panic and the subsequent hard times in the cities are bound to reducs the prices ™of farm products, and the farmers know this, and they know that the republican party was in power and could not prevent such a condition from coming upon the country.—Colum-= bia City Post.

: Be Sure You Know How It is only two more weeks from next Tuesday until election day. It is the duty of everybody to vote on that day and every voter should be sure before that day rolls around that he knows how to vote. While it is presumed that everybody knows how under the Australiani system, it is a fact nevertheless that in the past many mistakes have been made in every county in Indiana. | At this time it is considered no; harm to remind the voters how to| mark their tickets. This year the voter will be given three tickets when he enters the voting place. The national and state tickets will be on one ballot printed on red paper. The county ticket will be printed on white paper and the township ticket on yellow paper. If you wish tovote a straight democratic ticket simply puta cross or X in the circle contain~ ing rooster and nowhere else. Do this on each of the three ballots and fold them up separately - with the initials of the poll clerks on the outgide. If you wish to vote a mixed ticket, mind that yon do not put a elxs in the large circle, but make yolir cross in the small square in front of the name of whom you wish to yote. Remember that if you put a cross or any kind of a mark in the large circle and make a mark any‘where else outside the circle the ballot will not be counted. A voter who is in doubt about any point should consult some one in whom he has confidence and get posted. , : A Card This is to certify that all druggists are authorized to refund your money if Foley’'s Honey and Tar fails to cure your cold or cough.

- The County Option Law . Several counties are exceedingly anxious to test the new connty local option law, but as the law will not be in force for some weeks they will have tc bide their time in patience. Some strange things may happen when it goes into effect. It is believed by many that the law will make dry nearly every county in the state. It has surely operated well in other states and it may do equajly as well in Indiana. Some argue that it will not. Many wards and townships have gone dry under the remonstrance law but in many instances it took much labor to secure the requisite nuinber of remonstra tors. Not a few who signed claim to have done 8o under duress and would cancel their act if they had an opportunity to do so at the polls. However that may be, county local option is now the law and it behooves all good citizens to give it a fair test. Good laws are usually retained in force; bad ones become obsolete.— ‘Rocnester Sentinel.

Republican Rog : Nappanee will get a fine new business block next year—provided Wm. Howard Taft is elected president of the United States next November. On the other hand if Williams Jennings Bryan is the peoples choice the building will not be built. * ' * The building referred to will be built by the Wisler Bros. on the northeast corner of the publicsquare. There are excellent prospects for Nappanee’s growth next year, barring: unforseen contingencies-—Nappanee Advance. ' The above is a sample of republican rot used to inflame voters. The Nappanee News says that Wisler Bros. don’t even own the lot in question and that the construction of any kind of a building is not contingent upon any election. The News says further: ] “Perhaps the election, which ever way it goes will not stop the progress of the National Bank building ond the three store rooms now under way. Nor will it interfere with the possible construction of the block on North Main street this summer. It may be, after all,that the Wislers never said anything of the kind.”

: Not Guilty Special Judge V. W. Van Fleet of Elkhart, sitting in the circuit court at Warsaw, who heard the evidence in the case against Roy Massena of Piercetou, charged with embezzling $1,500 while serving as deputy treasurer in 19056 ard 1906 under J. J. Babeock, instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the acetsed which was done and a short time later the young man was discharged. At the conclusion of the taking of the evidence, F¥riday afternoon, Judge Van Fleet excused the jury and addressed counsel for the state. He said that he could not allow the accused to go to the penitentiary even if the jury returned a verdict for conviction, because he did hot think the defendant proven guilty by the evidence. In the meantime the people of Kosciusko county are wondering who got the money.

Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,, writes: “I thank God for my present health, due to Foley’s Kidpey Cure.

: Cost of Living ~ With those who must purchase all their living there has not been a time within the past thirty years when it was so- difficult to make both ends meet as at the present time. Those who live in the country and raise almost everything they cousume, and with norents to pay, have but little knowledge of what is in stove for the wage earner in the towns and cities. There are laboring men in the town of Milford who seldom miss a day from their usual routine of work, and yet will lose their homes on which they have paid many installments because of the extreme prices and only fair wages. The average laboring man with a family of three children, and who must pay rent, can not see many flowers in his path, between this and the time the snows of winter begin to close in upon him. With flour at 74 cents per sack, meat from 9 to 16 cents, butter 22 cents and eggs 20 cents and all other groceries in proportion, it certainly looks discouraging to the man who must pay rent and keep his family. These are dark clouds it is true, but while the laboring man is meditating about his future, he must not forget that he is ; exempt from many of the demands ‘that come to his neighbor ocross the street, and who owns his own property and has a fair income. The laboring man who does notown his own property has no property tax to pay, he is exempt from preperty insurance, he has no water tax, no light tax, is not called uyon to assist in public improvements, has few demands for charity, has no painting or incidental expenses, his church demands -are light, he pays only a small proportion into the school fund that educates his children. The burdens of the laboring men are heavey and wherever possible all should help to lighten th'em. but he, too should appreciate the many advantages received from those whose financial conditions are a pace better than his.—Milford Mail. . :

Parents Should Take Warning The shooting of a boy eight years old by a playmate of twelve in Mishawaka only emphasizes again the folly of parents allowing children to to have or handle dangerous weapons of any kind. And it suggests the unwisdom of giving children imitation fire-arms and allowing them to play as if they were real. A parent who gives a boy.a toy.pistol or an imita~ tion air gun or anything in the form of a real shooting iron makes a grave mistake. The habit of threatening to kill begins very early with some children and while they are ignorant of the meaning of the word'“kill” they go through the motions in a way that is suggestive of a desire at least to use deadly weapons. —Parents should be cautious about providing their children with anything in the nature of a fire-arm until they have grown to an age when they can give instruction and enforce obedience. Then they had better withhold them —Elkhart Review.

National Corn Exposition Prizes The Farmers’ Guide of Huntington Indiana, has decided to offer special premiums to the boys of Indiana, who exhibit corn at the national corn exposition, Omaha, Neb, December, 8-19, 1908. The Guide is interested'in the Indiana youth and is especially anxious that they make a strong showing in the classes of the Omaha exposition. Members of the corn clubs of Indiana ‘should interest themselves in this offer and make every effort to capture with it some of the valuable premiums offered by the exposition. The Guide premiums are open to boys of Indiana under 21 years of Bge, exhibiting in regular classes open to them at the national corn exposition, Omaha, December 8-19, 1908 Northern Zone Indiana— Best 10 ears of corn,any. color.

Spending the People’s Money There. is a contant and gréwing tendency in the direction of a pronounced increase in the.amount of money expended by public servants. There is scarcely a solitary department of public service that has not materially increased the cost of maintenance during the past dozen years. This prodigality on the part ot those who are in charge of the work extends all the way from township, county, state and on to the nation. [t really lodks as though this country had become a nation of spendthrifts when the money of the people is the thing considered. Even at this, the people would not object if they counld see that they are getting a goodly return. for the money that they are forced to pay into the public treasury. Thousands of dullars even millions, are spent every year for which there is no adequate return. This is wrong in principle and works a great injustice to all the taxpayers. , . One need not go far from home to learn something - about where the money goes. Asan illustration, take the governor’s office of this. state. During the past dozen years the expense iof that office had increased four<fold. There was a_ time within the miemory of most any young man when the entire expense of the office was $12,500, while now it is a raise of fifty thousand. It would be a difficalt task to discover whether the office is more efficient than it was a score of years ago, when it was filled by Hovey and Chase or by Gray or Matthews. The state is not better governed now than then, nor have the responsibilities of the office been increased four-fold, as have the expenses. _

The spirit of the times has had something to do with the increase in cost of public service. The American people are prone to be prodigal of the resources of the land and free in dealing out the money that comes into the strong box of state and nation. Then. politics has-had much to do with the increase in the expense of condueting the affairs of the state. The politicians have come in too close touch with the pie counter, and not finding enough to supply all the demands, they have proceeded to create new jobs at the public feeding place and thus rewarded those who were presumed to have rendered valuable party service. e The time is certainly fully come when the entire public should not be required to pay the expenses of a campaign by giving party workers the preference for public jobs. In this instance no one party is gqilty‘ of. all the sins of commission. The party that does not do it asa rule% simply lacks the opportunity and consequently is not entitled to any forced virtue that it may chance to have. But one thing is sure and certain, no evil will cure itself, nor is any party likely toremove from its body politic the cancer of patronage and extravagance that has become fastened npon it. Nothing short of the knife:in the hands of the people will prove effective in curing the disease. : : ; ~ If the people will'study with busibess care they will discover many places where a saving can be made in the use of public funds, and they should not be slow in demanding ‘that the men elected to office carry out a system of economy that will redound to the beneflt of the taxpayers. Infact,no man should be himself to 8 course of retreechment A e AL et e eT SR A SEE Si

in the use of the money of the people. Let it be insisted upon that no party debts shall be paid at the- expense of the people. Insist that men, both elected and appointed to office, shall be measured entirely by capability for place and notby the amount of service rendered party. The man who is not ready and willing to save a dollar to his townshipis not a fit person to hold office. It is not so much the single doliar that is at stake as it <is the principle of - strict economy in the use of public, . funds. In fact, the dollar may be the entering wedge to larger extravagances and sets a precedent for a prodigality that may in the final wind.up create official scandal and all the time. the people are footing the bills.—Muneie Press.

| . Fireless Cooking, : The principle of fireless cooking is a modern discovery and, simple as it is, it was a long time coming. It consists ‘in the fact that slow heat, continued for a long time will produce the same results that a high degree of heat will in a shorter time. In fact, slow heat produces better results, for all good cooks know that as a general rule slow cooking is the best. The phrase fireless cooking is somewhat misleading since, of course, there can be no cooking without heat, but the basic principle of fireless cooking is that while there must be fire to begin with it need not be continuous. Ftis demonstrated that heat, once generated to the cooking degree is continuous, and, under proper conditions, cumulative. The untensils are simple, the object being to exclude the air and confine ‘the heat in-a vessel containing ‘edibles which have been heated to the cooking point. To-accomplish this there is necessary a closed box or other receptalce.into which the cooking yessel may be placed and securely packed with paper or other nonconducting material. The box should have a lid, but in the absence of a box a trunk or even a bushel basket will do. The inside packing is the main thing. The article to be cooked—meat, fowl, vegetables or what not —should first be brought to a cooking point over a fire and then quickly covered-in a cooking utensil, placed in the packing box and securelo covered. The seasoning shoula be done before the cooking begins.

Once placed in the packing box and covered, the cooking utensil is to be left alone for two, three, four or five hours according to circumstances. ‘There is no watching necessary, no ‘turning, no basting. It cooks while you wait. The original heat,: if se}'curely confined, continues and the result is a slow cooking which one would hardly believe possible without seeing it. & Fireless cookers have been adopted 'in the regular army and are found highly satisfactorv. Any ingenious housewife can contrive one out of an empty box or an old trunk. :x'n up scraps of newspapers make extellent packing materials. The box or.other receptacle, after being packed should be set in & moderately warm place.Fireless cooking is & trick which the the ancients did not know.—lndianapolis News. = . : In most oufs tﬁnmgnp?onm rom & negle - improperly treated aofg. : %ﬁh;;!s Honey and and prevents serious results, It . ¢oste you no more than the unknown ga;smiﬂ#‘h genuine in the yel- ¢ PRRT LWi
