The first iron clad that was ever built was a sailing vessel called the Finis Bellum (End of War.) It was thought to be impregnable and irresistable, but as compared with the Iowa or Indiana it would hardly make a good squirt gua. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army, who lately returned from a trip to Clevaland, Buffalo and New York, says he was greatly impressed by the display of patriotism in the cities he visited. There was a general disposition, he thought, among all classes to support the president in any step he might take to settle the differences witk Spain. The army, he said, was thoroughly equipped in every particular to move at short notice, being so concentrated at the principal posts Piat it can be transferred to any desired point without delay. Don't forget, in the midst of war alarms, that a municipal election is rapidly appr iching and that it is the patriotic duty of every citizen to vote next Tuesday for the men whose presence in the council of this city will mean the most in the way of material advancement for the community. During the next four years there will be much of vsat importance to this city to be done by the men who will be elected next Tuesday. It is important, therefore, that the men who will be thus selected will be men of capacity and public spirit, broad minded and unselfish, pledged to public improvement. Brigadier General John J. Coppinger, who has been assigned to Mobile, has a remarkable history. Born in Ireland in 1835, he wandered into Italy when a young man, enlisted in the Papal guards and fought stubbornly against Victor Emanuel. He came t America with letters from Archbishop, Hughes, and in 1861 was made a captain in the Federal army. His record in the war was a brilliant one, and when it closed he was colonel of a New York regiment. During 1866 tor 868 he fought many battles with the Indians. He was commissioned as a brigadier general by

President Cleveland against a storm of opposition. About ten year ago he married a daughter of James G. Blaine.

The United States has fought five wars in the 55 years since the Declaration of Independence. In each one we have triumphed. In that period England has fought six wars not including conflicts with savages in India and in Africa, and she has lost two one with Germany and one with the allied powers. Prussia in the same period has lost two out of five wars. Austria has lost two and gained two. Spain has lost every war she has undertaken in that period unless her ten years warfare with Cuba may be called victorious. It is reported that some enterprising individuals, said to be from Cincinnati, have been working the old negroes of Chattanooga and viciniity recently on the ex-slave pension racket, and that they got away from the city just in time to escape arrest. They have been collecting 25 and 50 cent pieces or what they could get from old slaves, on the plea that it was to be used in "buy ing" congressman to vote for the tex-slave pension law," which, they explain, it pending and needing a few notes to become a aw. Several hundred dollars were obtained from these innocent old negroes in this way before the fraud was dis covered. The Cincinnati Enquirer indulges in these sensible observations: "In respect to the war the people of the United States are in the hands of their government. This mut be. There is :io other way of conducting the business of 70,000,000 men women and children. The best way to carry on war is not a matter of common information. We are obliged to depend on those who have been placed at the head of affairs for knowledge and judgment as to whether for example, it is best to blockade Havana or bombard it. Not being a nation of generals and admirals, the editors and other commentators cannot be expected to know exactly how muck resistance can be offered by the guns which defend che insular capital. Whether the city must be taken by the cooperation of land and naval forces, or by a land force alone, with the navy as an auxiliary, are serious questions upon which the itverage man is not conclusively advised. It may be that the students of war and the administrators of civil and military and naval affairs have not yet the means of determining." Let the people bear these points constantly in mind and govern themselves accordingly. Tb Kathbone Kntertainme-.it. The Kathbone Sisters gave a very interesting entertainment at the K. of P. hall Friday evening, in presence of several hundred guests. The quartette contributed the opening number on the program, and was followed by a recitation by Miss Alice Place, which was well received. The quaitette again responded, and Prof. Kedd presented a most interesting paper od "Woman." He compared the woman of ancient history with the woman of today, showing the advantages she has attained: theo she was man's slave; today, she is his equal; achievements are open to her there is scope for her ambitions. Mr. Kedd closed with a few interesting thoughts as to her work in the Rath bone organization. Miss Agler gave a recitation which was comical throughoutan old lady's experience in the marrying of her "Hannibal". Little Rose McLaughlin played a solo and Glen McLaughlin gave a recitation. Miss Shakes rendered a guitar se'ection and the phonograph, which Mr. George Vinall placed at the disposal of the ladies, closed the program. Ice-cream, cake and coffee were served as an en joyable ending to the entertainment. Don't Want Him. Camp Mount is profoundly agitated over the report from Washington that Henry W. Lawton, a regular army offieer, will supplant Brigadier General McKee. The Indiana army officers have united in a protest to Senator Fairbanks, and will petition President McKinley to retain General McKee. Governor Mount also recommends the re tention of McKee. It is hinted that the militia officers may resign if Law-

I ton is appointed.

Nino long months we've toiled and studied toiled and studied side by side. Little dreaming of the parting, or Inw fast th' moments glide; Till in April our Professor "in thai MBK" OM morn did say That orations should be written and committed before May. Some of them were straight-way mastered, pencilled good, and flowery, too; Hut some others were not started, so of course they would not do. Some were short say eighteen minutes, others lasted fully live. And to make thetr's most eitective. each of them did truly strive.

Hut the Juniors had that flower now we Sen iors always said That that class was just like plaster, now we found them more like lead. Stubborn, headstrong, hateful, cranky, not a one to us would yield, So we dropped the llower question and retired from the field. Next we broached the dreaded subject that a ring a broad plain bandShould be placed upon the finger of each Sen ior's steady hand. No decls.on on this subject has been made unto this day, And we left this undecided- soon some one w a heard to say: "Let us have a Latin motto." "English," all the rest did yell.

It is generally known that the la-t legislature changed the election law somewhat, one of the changes being the substitution of a blue pencil for a stamp. The new law also provides that a circle one and one half inches in diamenter shall be placed at the top of each ticket and shall contain with in it the party device. The law plainly states that to vte a straight ticket a cross should be made withiu this cir cle and nowhere else. The law also clearly states that to vote a mixed ticket a cross must be made within the square at the left of the name of each candidate the vote wishes to vote for. The law says a cross must be used. A straight mark will not suthce. Whenever the election board finds any mark other than a cross, either in a large cir cle or in the large square.it must regard it as a distinguishing mark and throw such ballots out when it comes to countlng the vote. Hirers I I. . t u. Company "M" held an election of olli cers Wednesday afternoon at Camp Mount, Indianapolis, and the following were chosen as oihcers of Company "M": Captain, John C. Capron; First lieuten ant, Claude Fish; Second lieutenant, Charles Fogle; Orderly sergeant, Will J. Lankinau; First duty sergeant, Bert Harris. The selections are good ones. Orderly sergeant of a company is one of the most important positions in a company. It requires firmness and good judgement, as well as ability, and Sergeant Lankinau has all those qualifications. The selections give general satisfaction in the company, and we predict that Company "M" will be one of the best companies of the Third regi ment. Married. Married, at the home of the bride, 8 miles northeast of Plymouth, Wednes day evening April 27 'U8, Mr. Freeman Ii. Hahn and Miss Princess Seymour, both teachers of this county. The ceremony was performed by J. D.Coverston, and witnessed by a large number of guests. After a bounteous supper was served they were given an old fashioned belling. The happy couple received many fine presents. Two Hundred A mbu lancet. Mr, Clem Studebaker of South Hend while in Indianapolis Friday, re ceived a telegram from Washington ordering two hnndred ambulances to be delivered as soon as his big plant at South Bend can turn them out.

FAVORAELE TO GEN. M'KEE.

(.ovt'inor Mount Recl vee Advice from HMater f';iirl;lik-. (iovernor Mount was in communica tion Friday with Senator Fairbanks! Washington wit a regard to the rumor that Brigadier ien. McKee will be replaced as commander ot the brigade by Lieut. Col. Lawton of the regular army. The governor was awaiting a favorable response to his telegrams urging that (len. McKee be retained. He received ; such a response, but refrained from giving out. When asked expressly as to to what he knew on that point; he said: "My dTieec from Washington are that everything looks favorable." Just before he made this declaration he was in conference with (ien. McKee. The latter was asked what information he had. lie replied slowly and deliber ately: ! have no information on that point whatever, except what 1 receive from the newspapers.' It was understood that the comman der of the troops and the governor were discussing the question of closing the camp on Sunday. It was given out as an authoritative by the governors secretarv that no conclusion was reached. After (ien. McKee's visit it was announced that all men who are rejected from the service on medical examination by application to Gen. McKee for an order on the adjutant general will receive transportation home from the latter. It is feared that tins courtesy comes a little too late as most of the rejected men ire all home now.
