Ukhk is reported as belncr stronclv in fawr of reform. So is the Sultan of Turkey. Lath reports of the Turkisk Armen ian troubles do not show that the con dition of the Armenians is much in proved. Tin: sign on a passenger car door which reads, "Passengers are not al lowed to stand on the platform," must not be misconstrued by party irmiinees. In Calhoun county, 111., the democrats convention declared for the free coinage of s;lver, and nominated a candidate for county commissioner who stood on the platfoim squarely. A Stati: conference is soon to be held at Indianapolis by the political friends of Governor Matthews, to try and perfect an organization, with a view of pushing him to the front as a presidential candidate. It is sai.l that when the United states government moved to Washington in the year IS'H) the property was all carried in seven boxes, while the chief executive got lost in the woods in the neighborhood of Washington. It is sail that John 1. St. John has retired from prohibition work. lie has made enough money out of this work to buy a gold mine, and he is now so busy working the mine, that he is unable to give any of his time to the cause that gave him the lift. Ik there is any sentiment that is general in this country at the present time it is, that it has become fully time that the government of the United States ought not to permit the lives and property of American citizens to be at the mercy or subject to the insults of any foreign power. Tin: populists of Milwaukee believe i.n getting all there is in it. In the platform announced by them they have added a clause that is truly unique. Thev demand that the city shall furnish free medical attendance for the poor of that city, and also in case of death, that their funeral expenses shall be met from the citv's fund. The press of international affairs has lead to a scheme on the part of the vice regent and Dowager Empress of China to move the capital of that country from Pekin to some more secure place in central China, and to effect an administrative Pi-organization. It begins to seem, if Ciinaof her own accord will not become civilized, that the other nations will compel her to take such I measures as shall lead to a civilized condition. The things that are now happening to China may seem to the Chinese government great hardships but there is no doubt that she' is going o benefit thereby. She now seems to be going through a transitory stage which might be termed a time of purification by lire. Tin: bud moral effect of trashy liter ature is becoming more apparent every day. The last apparent evidence to this affect is the burning of a six-year old boy at Fast Liverpool. Ohio, by a number of other small boys. The boys were dressed in the guise of Indians, and no doubt believed they were doing a brave deed. There is no calculating the effect of evil literature upon the morals of the nation. The resulting eviljis simply inestimable. It should have been suppressed years ago. Fkom la'.e reports it seems evident that Japan is about to make a practical declaration of independence of the other nations of the earth so far as warship building is concerned. Japan now proposes to build her own warships. This proposition comes in a characteristic Japanese spirit and conclusively proves that the Orient ii being affected with a truly progressive western spirit. Japan will have to buy her armour and guns abroad for some time, but will undoubtedly soon be in a position in which she can make her own armor and build her own guns. It is encouraging to note this. It is all well enough to have a missionary spirit, and for Christians and churches and preachers to advocate the sending of missionaries to the benighted and uncivilized portions of the world to preach the Gospel of Christ. Uut inasmuch as .besides the laudable

desire to christianize the heathenism of heathendom, there ought lirst to be an ambition to christianize the heathenism of Christianity, it would undoubtedly be better for some parts of our land, for instance, if more determined efforts were made towards missionary work at

home. i The real power in this governmen is public opinion. To affect public o, inion is to control he government. Any man sincerely interested in politics must be allowed lo determine for himself upon considerations which can only be known to himself, what course is best to take in all important questions at issue, strict party ties will not hold any intelligent man to act contrary to his studiously formed convictions of what is right and best. If he finds that the machinery of politics is so con strued, as to practically exclude him from acting and voting with t'ie party to which he technically belongs, if he is an honest man he will lend his hand to put this machinery out of gear. The unassailable principal of political action in ttiis country, is, that prompt and thorough and universal discussion of every subject, and a patriotic willingness to do what the public welfare demands is the true line of safe action. The people are now informing themselves most thoroughly, by universal discussion on this financial question and with public opinion in its present chaotic state, any party makes a mis lake when it attempts to mark out an arbitrary line ot action. POLITICAL LINES. A Political Discus-ion Took Place not Down on l!n- 1'roxrsiiii. It might be pertinent to this subject to remark, that a political di cussion took place in front of the Imi:im:mi:nt office Sunday, and those who were entitled to opera chairs in the front row, received the benelit of their money. 1 he Harvey-1 Iorr debate was not in it The subject, while not appropriate for a sermon from the pulpit on a Sunday morning, was handled without gloves and contained food enough to require several days to digest it. The defender of the free coinage of silver was "up to snuff," and in our es timation met the Gattung gun of the single standard advocate with grape and cannister. It was truly a great battle. The loud booming of the breechloading "sixteen" pounder would scarcely die away, when the sharp report of the GaUling would be heard. The advocate of the gold standard stood in the middle of the walk, with his heels lirmly planted on the pavement in a manner that denoted preparation for a charge. lie would emphasize his telling points in such a forcible manner, that before he had time to clinch the point driven home, the silverite would jump down olT the railing and lire such a volley of statistics that it would take several moments for the debater who worships at the shrine of the "golden calf," to recover his equilibrium. Oh, it was line ! And had it not been for the fact that we had a pressing engagement on hand, we would have heard the closing argument presented by these two financial gladiators. Dt-cr II milium Expensive. The new game law in Michigan makes deer hunting expensive, in fact, almost prohibitory to the non-resident. Uy it the non-resident of the state must pay $'ZÖ for a license to hunt deer in any one county and the tax must be paid in the county where the camp is located or where the temporary residence of the hunter may be, and if he should step over into another county he must procure another license at the same price. Mach iicen.se allows the hunter to kill live deer and no more. It is in ihe coupon style and each deer so killed must have a detached coupon attached to it when shipped or exposed for sale The resident of the slate pays fifty cents for the same privelege, and is allowed to kill the same number of deer. The time is limited to twenty-five days, or Nov. 1 to 23 inclusive. Chasing by dogs is strictly prohibited and no deer must be killed while in the water. Killing of fawn is prohibited and the hunter must use great care that the deer is of maturity. Pits or falls, traps or artificial lights to attract them near the hunter are prohibited. In a matter of business it is hardly thought the distinction between the resident and non-resident of the state would be sustained by the court but as a matter of mere sport it is believed it would.

She had been a stillerer from dropsy for several yeais. She will probably recover. A stabbing affray occurred Monday night at Wolf Lake, Noble Couty, in which a man by the name of Lyons received fatal injuries. John Moore is the man who did the stabbing. The light was the outcome of a dispute over the possesion of a house. A man by the name of lloover owned the house and wanted it for Moore Ids son-in-law.

They are getting 10 ba;r;4ls per day. Mrs. John Parr residing four milts south of - Sheridan was accidently burned to death Saturday. It is supposed that her clothing became ignited from a gas stove, she was alone at the time. The court of liiquiiv in regard to silver ware stolen by militiamen at Peru opened at that city Monday. Military ethics control the court and the punishment will be in accordance with the crime. The trial of Frank Work for murder in the lirst degree opened in the circuit court at Shelbyville Monday. He is charged with striking his uncle Soloinan Swango on the temple with a heavy dray pin last August, from the effect of which he died in two hours. The Terre Haute police are looking for a certain professor and a Mrs. Marshall, who recently located there and advertised to cure all diseases to which man is heir, as trance mediums. Mrs. Alice St. John, one of the victims, pud them 8100 Saturday, for which they were to cure her of a nervous com plaint within forty days. The profes sor also persuaded her to give him 10 with which to uuy a winning lottery ticket. Win.

Mrs. Sarah Iluzzard, of Wayae town ship, Huntington county, has brought suit for 810,000 damages against Peter Minnich, of Warren, for injuries alleged to have been caused by using a cancer cure prescribed by Minnich. Mrs. liuzzard applied the cure to an insipient cancer on her nose and as a result a large portion of that organ was eaten away.

JSoth hal been to town and urmkin? and on re turning home quarreled over a week's wages, which Isham claimed was due him. It is claimed that Isham seized an axe and attaced Feet, who ran into the house, secured a shot gun and 'gave him the contents of both barrels. The shot struck Isham in the thigh severing an artery, from which the yictim bled to death. Isham worked for Feet and boarded at his house.

He had them both arrested on a charge of adultery and placed in jail. Urown was bailed out by his brother but the woman will probably remain in jail until Thursday, the day the trial is set for, unless she is forgiven and taken home by the injured husband, which is possible, as she seems very penitent.

BURIED 340 FEET.

A Charred Oak Struck ly Well Borers in California. San Francisco Call: The drill of the Santa Barbara Ice company, which is boring a well in the lower part of town, has passed through a charred log some two feet in diameter at a depth of 310 feet. A careful examination of specimens obtained indicates that the longburied tree is an oak similar to the species growing above ground today. Much speculation is rife as to how this tree came so far beneath the surface of the soil, but an intelligent scrutiny of the Santa Clara Valley gives a clear geological explanation of certain conditions attending this discovery. Each end of the valley at Santa Barbara on the one hand and at Goleta cn the other has ; some past time been an inlet of the sea. The lower lands receive! the wash fron a groat extent of mountainous country. The detritus from the hills, constantly carried down by winter floods and deposited below, at lcnstS filled up these inlets and gradually advanced the shore line, as it is doing today wherever the wash from the hills follows Its own course, whilo constantly burying from sight the vegetation of a past day. This charred log once lay at the bottom of the sea. It was found in a stratum of blue water sand, and determines the great depth of what was once a fine harbor, extending probably a mile or more back cf the present beach. This theory is confirmed by the fact that both at Goleta and Santa Barbara the soil is to an extraordinary depth nothing but black loam, occasional streaks of clay and sand having been encountered. Similar trees, as well as beds of seastells, have been encountered in well boring at great depths in Goleta. Old Indian traditions tell of a monster disturbance in the past. Some great convulsion of nature must have sunk the entiro valley, for this tree lies 300 feet below the sea level. The one new fact established by this find is that the aborigines of a very remote date made fires. HOW HE CHANCED HIS MIND. Sad Ta'c of a Tramp Who Wished to re Itoosevelt. Am President Roosevelt's callers the ctL .orning at police headquarters wer, i who attracted considerable atten'i :.. says the New York Sun. They arri about the same time, although they did not come in together. One of the two was Recorder Goff. The other did not give his name, but he was as fine a specimen of the Wandering Willie type as ever adorned the pages of a comic paper. The tramp arrived first. He strolled into the waiting room and took a seat with the air of one perfectly at home. He was hardly seated before Recorder Goff came hurrying in. lie walked up to the tramp and asked: "Is President Roosevelt in?" "Huh!" said the tramp, turning his watery eyes in the direction of the recorder. A powerful odor of bad whisky swept over the recorder as the tramp spoke to him, and, with a look of disgust, ho passed on to the inner room. Then Mr. Roose dt's bodyguard. Tierney, discovered he tramp and pounced upon him, "What are you after here?" he shouted. "I want to see Mister Roosevelt," said Willie, "an I'm a-goin to stay right here until I do." "Oh, you are, are you?" said Tierney. and, grabbing the tramp by tha collar, he rushed him out to the head of the stairs. There the hall man was waiting for him, and he was bowled down the two flights of stairs and out into the street. Way It's Done In Connecticut. In a Connecticut town some years ago there lived a peculiar couple, who selected the names of their children apparently with a view to educational exercises. There were fourteen children In the family, and they were named for the numerals in regular order, beginning with "One." The father was locally famous as a mathematician, and during the early years of his children they had a daily tuition which seeded extraordinary to their playmates, who were provided with everyday names. "Three and Four go out to the woodbox and get mother some kindling," the mathematical father would say, appearing before a group of his numerical offspring. Three and Four would keep on playing ball or whatever game happened to be engrossing their attention, but a diminutive person who commonly answered to the name of "Seven" was sure to drop his play and start for the woodbox. Linked by Lightning. A Brunswick, N. J., writer says that Stephen Ayers was walking home from the Griggstown church with a young lady, rain began to fall, and the young man raised his umbrella. A few rods from the church lightning struck the ferrule of the parachute, and descending from the stick, paralyzed Ayers' left arm. The young woman happened to have hold of his arm. The umbrella dropped from Ayers hand, but when the girl tried to release her arm she could not. It was several minutes before they were able to part the linked arms. Tiny dark brown scars were left on each of their elbows. Ex. Whlto Poppio for Hoc Sting. Remedies for bee stings are numerous. A beekeeper advises always planting white poppies near the hives. If jne Is stung by one of the insects he takes a white poppy, cuts off the head and applies to the wound some drops of the milky juice It contains. The pain is allayed at once and no inflammation Is produced.

AYe have been informed that a report has been circulated at Uremen and Nappanee to the effect that half of Bourbon was destroyed by lire Sunday night, and that the Uourbon fair would not be a success in consequence. There is not the shadow of foundation for such a report and how it was started can not be told unless the Waisaw liar has turned his genius in a new direction. With reference to the fair the advisability of having it continued during j Nuuruay is oeing seriously consiuereu. It is reported a great success. A report from there at noon said there were already a good many Plymouth people on the grounds. The success of the Uourbon fair is the result of a concentrated effort on the part of the people to make it so and shows what can be dono by a definite purpose to succeed and unity of action on the part of all interested parties.
