A hard fight was made agaiust Adam Wise, the demoeratic nominee, the republican managers staking evervibing upon the loeal option question, Wise openly declared that it elected, he would vote witlhi the majority of

his party, for the repaal of the county Incal option statute, while his oppo- | uent promised to vote to sustain the law. The issnes were clearly dmwn.i and Wise won not by the narrow majority that even some of his friends | predicted, but by the largest majority given a democratic candidate f_-»rg representative in thirty years.

Stahl voted with his party at all the stages of the fight over the local option bill last week. He was in most excellent company . and made a record thathis friends can certainly commend. With forty eight other Demoerats he voted for a compromise measure that will repeal the county unit feature and substitute the town, city and luwhsh_ip unit in accord with demoeratic idess aud democratic prismim-s. “The bill is now iu the hands of the senate where the-republicaus bave a majority of four and if it does not pass it will not be the fault of the Pemocrats in that body. RS xaww Mr. Stahl need niake no apologies to any bbd_\ for his course in voting for the loeal option law passed by a vote of 52 to #4 last Thursday. When he was nominated at Albion last yvear he accepted the honor in & neat speech in which he said that he stoed upon the demoecratic platform, that he would abide by the democratic caucur and support the party measures. He has done just a 8 he said he would. He has notbeen swerved fromn his duty notwithstanding the well directed efforts of the republiean local option erowd. He understands that a party platform promise means something and he has carried out the promise. The Democrats of Noble county made po mistake when they nominated Joe Stahl and the people knew what they were doing when they elected him. : . e®RRD - The death of Jacob H. Shauck of Keundallville removes & citizen once a strong and potent factor in public affairs in this county. There were fow men in Noble connty twenty-five years ago and even later who did uvot know Jake Shauck either personally or by reputation. He came to this country soon atter the civil war,having served in the 64th Ohio. He was a farmer and as such was elected to the legislature in 1878 by the Democrats. He took up his residence at Kendallville where he took an active part o politics, and in 1891 was nominated for sheriff and elected. He served two terms making a model officer. Mr. Shauck was always aggressive in politics. He had his own ideas of public policy and party mangement and was never backwafd about expressing them. He wasa man of strong prejudices and a staunch friend. He had his faults like many other men, but he had many good qhalities of heart and mind. , o

Robert D. Barr of Kendallville is dead. The summons eame last Sunday, and yesterday another strong flgure in Noble county history was laid in his last resting place. FKor thirty years Bob Barr, nobody ever knew him by any other name, has been a prominent character in our public affairs, He early developed into a masterful lawyer and he soon enjoyed a big practice especially in the loeal courts and early in his career he took an active interest in public affairs, and for years was a potent factor in party politics. He was a staunch Republican in prineciple but for many years has been a free lance in local affairs, weilding & wide and marked influence with the voters. He was a man of strong likes and dislikes, always ready to aid a friend bat never willing to compromise with anyone ‘whobad done him a wrong. He would go to the end of the road for a man that he liked, and for a principle that met his approval. His last few years Bad been darkened by a terrible sorrow. The loss of a favorite son, who had grown to manhood. was a blow that broke his spirit. Robert P. Barr had many good qualities. He had many good friends. A resident of Noble county since 1885,he spent all of his active life with ourgpeople. He will be

- Shouid Kalse More Appies ; ‘ Apples are such a wholesome and aniversal food product that it s ‘very much to be regretted that the price of this tootheome fruit has reached a point where it hias become a luxury. No doubt the general health of the public must in the end suffer because of the high prise of apples. Belling at 5l cents per peck, not Very many, persons can permit the children to have their fill of apples. A half dozen hearty boys and girls will consume a peck of apples at s single sitting. Apples can be raised in abundance righy here in Indiana if a wholesome care is taken of the trees and the fruit; from the titme of budding until it is fally formed. The day whea the orchard can safely be left to chance is past. Attention must be the price of a goodly ecrop of apples. And this attention will be amply recompensed when the orchard yielda its bounviful harvest of the most wholeI’wmo and universal fruit that nature ever gave to man. Apples can be profitably raised at 00 cents per bushel. At this price in the loeal orchard, the consumer should be able to get an abundance at oH cents per bushel. At this price apples would become a common article of diet which would provéa distinet gain to the general health of the publie.
