In order to accomplish this the assistance of the business men and ladies will be necessary. ) The committee decided to call on the merchants, manufacturers, professional men and leading citizens Tuesday for small donations to meet the expense of hiring a band to play for one hour during the -evening, to procure the neeessary red fire and tc pay the prizes which are to go to the contestants in the masquerade. * It is proposed to raise $lOO for these purposes, and the task will not be a difficult one. ; The premiums offered for the masked characters in the parade are small when compared to the delights afforded the participants in their efofrts to out rival each other. : : The band concert alone will draw the usual big attendance from the country and'combined with the mausical program the ‘other attractions will bring to the streets the population of the city. e !

- THAT NEW TARIFF BILL Some Features People Will Do Well | to Consider Before Casting a Vote . Next Month = . ’ s It is estimated that the bonus bill would have cost the taxpayers about four billions, scattered over a gereration or more. The president and Secretary Mellon can not see how the people could pay the price, but they have no hesitancy in approving the new tariff bill, which will take from the people’s pockets, in increases in the cost of manufactured articles, almest four billions “each single year until the awakened and outraged public drives the law and its makers out into ‘tHe cold. Mellon himself will be the greatest beneficiary, an all likelihood, of all the men ' who will fatten their present wealth off of the needs#of the people. This modern Shylock controls, as merely a‘ part of -his great wealth, all of the‘ aluminum manufacturing in the land. Hix influence has raised the tarirf rates on imported aluminum wares to such a high point that ‘there will be no importations; his companies will . have no competition and the prices can be lifted to -double the present figures and the public will simply have to pay. There is no es)cape. ‘Under the new law, with the ‘help of a little joker, the import duty on ‘aluminum wares is 71 per ‘'cent, ‘while under the Underwood law it was 20 per cent. The latter rate protected the American aluminum :worker and put much revenue in the Treasury; the new rate keeps out the foreign wares, hence the Treasury will get no revenue there from, while .it' gives Mellon’s companies a complete monopoly. They have suffered so little from foreign: competition in thep ast that they have exported heavily, selling their goods in Europe in competition with cheap labor. Mellon is a director in the Alumium Company of America, of. the Aluminum Cooking Utensil Co., of the Aluminum Ore Co., of the American Mental Co. of the Northern Aluminum Co., of the Pressed Metal Raditor Co.,| and the United States Aluminum Co. Under this prohibitive tariff rate a peculiar result obtains: The Treasury will receive no revenue, while| the Public will be mulcted shamefully, yet will have to pay othertaxes to the Treasury to make up for those lost because the tariff is so high as to prevent importations. E “The new wool tariff is so outrageous that it will take almost a billion dollars each ygar in additional prices, over what they should be, from the pockets of the econgumers This amount alone, in four years, would pay the entire bill for the soldiers’ bonus. &hé people, who would like to see the boys get the 'bonus, will have to pay this bill, and yet the soldiers will go without their recom. pense. One of the most ironical frauds in the wool tariff is the fact that it taxes as pure wool every fake and fraud that by any stretch of the truth can be classed as wool.~ A workman’s blue winter shirt, which he fondly thinks is wool,' has placed on it a duty of 108 per cent, though there is no real wool in it. To call it wool is an insult which even 4 sheep should resent. The goods uSed tc make these shirts usually contains from 80 to 85 per cent of shoddy and the remainder is co‘lon. Many folks think the word sh-ddy merely means a poor grade of wool That is correct as far as it goes, but the fact is that shoddy is made from the ragpicker's rags, pulled- to pieces by machinery and again spun and .dyed. The long fiber and the life of the original wool are gone and the garment in which it is used is of short life, poor quality and of little warmth. oo

GEORGE D. GABY RETIRES AFTER EIGHT AND ONE HALF YEARS ¢ FAITHFUL SERVICE - | Many Improvements Introduced Dur. ing Mr. Gaby’s Administration of 2 ~ the Office - : . Today William §S. Milner becomes postmaster of Ligonier having received his commission for four years last Saturday. @ The formality of checking out Postmaster' Gaby who had served with such satisfaction for eight ‘and a half years has been accomplished. * : Those with an ordinary memory will have no difficulty in recalling the many improvementsd inaugurate since Mr. Gaby took the office. Eight years ago the service at the ‘postoffice was confined to nearly a day light schedule. The office equipment was small and decidedly = provineial. - oHlders of boxes had no night nor Sunday privileges and the rules for conducting the officg, were primative in the extreme. i Through the efforts of Postmaster Gaby and his able assistants great improvements were made. Modern improvements and .devices for handl-: ing the mails were introduced. The office was removed to a more central location in a room especially fitted up for its location and the mail service became_what it should and will continue to be a model of efficiency. The lobby o fthe office has not been closed for nearly eight years and the mail boxes have been accessible to patrons at all hours of the day and night. And there has never been a minute when George D. Gaby was not ready and willing to accommodate persons receiving and dispatching mail here. . The new postoffice procured through the efforts of the postmaster is well lighted and heated and adapted to the purposes for which it is used. 'To say that ‘Postmaster Gaby leaves the office with the. full confidence and respect of the public is but uttering a truth. ' Postmaster Milner with his lonl service in the office as deputy and hi genial disposition will make the office. over which he presides a credit to the city and an honor to himself and his assistants. N an As in the. past every patron will receive a square deal with no favoritism to! any one and with service and courtesy for all. - :

PATERNITY OF TIEERMAN CHILD LEFT IN DOUBT BY COURT . - JUDGE AT SOUTH BEND, Case Will No Doubt be Appealed to " Higher Court by Tierman and : ° His Indignant Wife, : Judge C. L.-Ducomb in city court Saturday’ at South Bend found Harry Poulin not guilty of the charge preferfed by Mrs. John P. Tierman that he was the father of her third child. The decision handed down = covered six typewritten pages of legal cap. Judge Ducomb made it distinct in his comment that he is finding the defendant “not guilty” in the striet sense of the word. He said that he believed there had been intimate relations between Mrs. Tirman. and Poulin. -Th fact, however, that Professor Tierman had lived with = his wife throughout the entire affair created the reasonable doubt that. made it leagally compulsory to find - for the defendant. : The decison of Judge Ducomb brings to an end a ‘case that held the attention of the city court for eight days, after having been = buffeted among the justice courts on'changes of venue. : ; ~ No case in the history of Indiana has been given so much .prominence as this legal battle, the fight of Mrs. Johm P. Tierman to convict Harry Poulin _as the father of her third child being one of the most unusual in’ legal: procedure. - Until the night of September 2, when Harry Poulin ‘was arrested on a warrant issued from the court of Justicée A. W. Hosinki, the friends of Professor and Mrs. John P. Tierman had no idea but that the eight pound baby in the . Tierman household was a legitimate child. They were therefore dumbfounded when on Sunday morning, September 3, the daily newspapers blazoned ' out with the sensational ReWE. oo
