Hathaway, the congressional nominee selected by the democrats of this district is a citizen of Winamac, about 35 years of age and a lawyer by profession, lie was formerly a member of the Democratic State committee. He has never held office. His county gave him its solid support in the convention. He is a strong candidate and will greatly assist the ticket in this district. OIK SKSTIMKNT TOO. The Columbia City Post states the present situation with commend able fairness in saymg: 'President McKinley was opposed to war. lie was driven from his position by con gress; but evt r since the declaration of war, the president's course has been very commendable. He may have made some mistakes; but where is the man who would not have done so, and in closing peace negotiations he may again err. Ai before stated, he tried to avoid war and now that there is an opportun ity to end hostilities he is more gen erous with Spain than many other leading men would be were they in his place. There is no question but that Cuban independence is now in sured, and Porto Rico will be ceded to the United States. Thus the object of the wir has been attained, and with the accomplishments of those things, this country has also fully avenged the destruction of the Maine. With a coaling station in the Lad rone islands and another in the Philippines, what more d we want? In attempting to bring the

war to a close upon the above terms the president is on the right track, and if it can be done it means an end to the million a day expense and the daily announcement of a death list from fevers and disease among the American troops." The Chicago Journal states that it is in the power of the United States to give the Philippine islanders peace, order, good government, civilization, progress, the opportunity for prosperity, and a universal justice that shall make all the people equal before the law and secure to them the fullest practicable measure of human rights. And it is in the power of the United States to restore to the baneful power of Spain and give these eight millions back to cruelty, injustice,

oppression and a hopeless condition of servitude broken only by the spasmodic outbursts of impotent rebellion. Which will the United States do? Will it give Philippine slanders civilization or savagry? When the republican platform was in course of preparation there was one section "pointing wun pride" to the price of wheat as an ndication of republican prosperity. Before the document could be pre sented, however, that part was eliminated. Ft. Wayne Journal. It was quite thoughtful to elimi nate that section as the price of wheat had taken a sudden drop, ower, in fact, than it was at any time during the panic. It would be ditlicult to point to the price now with pride. For some time there has been a strong controversy between the State college and sectarian instituions, regarding public funds. Mr. Frank Jones, the republican nomi nee for superintendent of public instruction, is a strong State college man. lie will not be popular among those who are enthusiastic supporters of church institutions. Without doubt the most serious question that has engaged the atten tion of the people of Laporte since the incorporation of the city, is that which now confronts its inhabitants in the matter of an increased water supply. There is a place to obtain water from Lake Michigan, but the estimated cost is $175,000. The National Wall paper Trust has capitalized itself at $38,000,000, secured a lead-pipe cinch on the trade and proposes to advance prices from 25 to 50 per cent. Meanwhile old newspapers make a very read able and instructive covering for walls. President McKinley has issued an order to the postmaster general to open postofiices in Santiago and at Such other points of the enemy's territory as may come into our possession, United States stamps t ) be used as if in our own territory. It is said that Colonel John Hay, our ambassador to England, during the two days following Schley's victory, shook hands with over 4,000 people who came to congrattf late him on his country's triumph. Orath of Mn. Rltodea. Mrs. Harriett Rhodes died at her residence on South street, Sunday morning. She was at the time of her death aged 54 years, 7 months and VA days, being born Dec. 24, 1843, in Tiod county, Pa. She leaves a husband, three brothers, a sister and a granddaughter besides a host of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral services were conducted Monday by ltev. Landis. Her body was interred in the Stringer grave yard. The disease which led to her death was a peculiar cne, best described aa dropsy. Every sympathy is felt for her family and sorrowing friends. Rmynr'it IMcture in It. The Delphi Citizen devotes large space this week to preparatory matter regarding the ninth annual convention of the State Catholic lienevolent legion which will be held at that place this week. This article contains an excel lent double column portrait of Mr Peter Kruyer, of this city, the state orator of the legion. More Farmern Fouled. An exchange tells how some sharpers worked the farmers recently. The sharpers represented a Chicago com pany and were selling goods to the farmers at wholesale prices. They sold 1

cloth for two suits of clothes, two overcoats, a lady's cape and cloak, two dressee and two bed blankets for a $68 note, payable in six months, the goods being delivered at once. This farmer bought, as did all his neighbors. A part of the bargain was that they should make suits of clothes and overcoats free of charge. A tailor accom

panied them and took the measure? at a Mendota hotel, where the victims were allowed to select their linings. The gords were sent to Chicago, and when they came back they were marked CO. D. $38, to pay for linings. Of course each farmer had to walk up and pay the amount or not get the clothes. A closer inspection of the goods proved them to be shoddy, and s:i2 would he a fair price for the whole lot, but in six months the victims must pay .is more, with interest. Nearly every farmer in the neighborhood, whose note was good, was worked, and all bit. When will people learn to quit patronizing such as this and deal with their home merchants whom they know to be responsible V BRIDE TIRES OF THE GROOM. Mr. Harry BeM Lph-s IIt Hasband .After Few W Ir, Mrs. Harry Ueno, nee Delia Waymer, has abandoned her freakish husband and returned home. Jieno and the pretty Muncie girl were married in MuDCie three weeks ago after Ueno had been buried several days on a wager. Heno is devoid of feeling. He drinks poison, drives a shoemakers awl through hi6 skull, is nailed to the cross, by having large silver nails driven through his hands and feet, and carves his llesh with a sharp knife without any regard. In addition to this he has been buried several times 6ix feet under ground and after throwing himself in a trance remains In the buried coffin ten days at a time without water or food of any kind. Just previous to his recent burial here Miss Waymer fell in love with the man, and alter he was buried she visited his grave regularly each day bringing fresh Mowers. They have since traveled together. The young woman states that she loved Harry until the newspapers made such a big to do over her wedding, and the notoriety disgusted her, as he seemed to like the advertising he wat getting. He also added to her disgust by giving her a private exhibition at driving the awi in his head and not having proper assistance broke the point of the awl oh in his skull, where it still lemains. Another discovery the woman made was that Ueno has a disposition to sleep all the time, consequently is poor company. Mr. ( pron Near.y DnWH Fernandina, Fla., Aug. Mrs. John Capron narrowly escaped being drowned while bathing in the ocean last evening. A party composed of Captain and Airs. Capron, Miss Neil, Miss Schwartz, Miss IJrown and Miss McDoud and Sergts, Kinney, Scholl, Long, Schulz and Work were enjoying a surf party at the beacn. The waves dashed high and the parly were enjoying themselves to the utmost when Mrs, Capron was caught by the uudertow and whirled from sight in an instant. Capt. Capron plunged into tle surf after his wile, closely followed by Sergt. Schultz, and after a severe fight with the whirling waves the venturesome lady was safely landed on terra tirma, where she soon recovered from her fright and the salt water she had swallowed. Col. Stinlebiiker' Men May Mo The Indianapolis Sentinel of Monday said that it has been reported on good authority that the 157th regiment will again move. Col. Studebaker thinks that within two weeks the boys will be on the march for some northern sea port, wherever (ien. Shafter's army expects to land. Many are inclined to think Porto Rico or Cuba will be the destination. The löTth regiment holds the record thus far of all regiments under (Jen. Coppinger's corps for speed and moving without incurring accidents. Wind Storm at ICoIIIiik Prairie. Laporte Herald: A severe wind storm raged in the vicinity of Holling Prairie Wednesday afternoon. Reports from there state that fences, trees, straw, wheat and oat stacks and various outbuildings were leveled to the ground At one place a woman had stopped at a farm house at the approach of the storm and placed her buggy in a wagon shed. The wind opened the doors of the shed and took the vehicle out of the structure and across the road.

FEARS ENTERTAINED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CROP. Large Amounts of the Grains Still Standin the shock - Oats Threatened Very little wheat is being received at the elevators at present. The rains have stopped threshing and the outfits are idle. Numbers of farmers who have threshed are holding their wheat In the hope of getting better prices. About two-thirds of the crop only has been rescued from the shock. The remainder is still standing out, the prey of the wet weather, and dire consequences are threatened. Grain men are told that the cereal is sprouting and this means of necessity a cut of a material kind in the price that will be paid for it. Said a grain man yesterday, "I am apprehensive of a repetition of the experience of 1896.. That would mean quite a loss to the farmers whose wheat is sprouting." The oats crop is practically untouched and the continuance of untoward weather would mean serious consequences all along the line. The corn crop has not been more promising in years. One can almost M it grow. A farmer from Inwood said yesterday on the streets here that 'corn was growing so fast that the cobs were shooting from the high stalks." First to Plead BMkrattjr. .Joseph Neil, of this county, is the lirst citizen of Indiana to take advantage of the new bankruptcy law. He has been doing business at Laporte and this week liled a petition in the federal court, in which he sas that he owes $1.885 and that all the property he has is s7i7 worth of personal property. He says that he has no way of earning money enough to pay oil his debts and represents that unless he is allowed to take advantage of the national bankruptcy law some of his creditors will get their claims, while others will get nothing. The rules that are to govern bearings in bankruptcy cases have not been certified to the district court yet and the petition will not be taken up until they are. Losaaaporl Factory Kuril-., The Logan Heading factory at Logansport burned yesterday, loss S2.",0U0 Insurance, 10,1)00. The manufactured product comprised hoops, slack barrel headings, etc. During busy season sixty men were employed. OW are the chil dren thissummer? Are they doing well? Do they get all the benefit they should from their food? Are their cheeks and lips of good color? And are they hearty and robust in every way? If not, then give them Scott's Emulsion of cod Ivver oil with hypophosphites. It never fails to build up delicate boys and girls. It gives them more flesh and better blood. It is just so with the baby also. A little Scott's Emulsion, three or four times a day, will make the thin baby plump and prosperous. It furnishes the young body with just the material necessary for growing bones and nerves. All Drusre-ists. c. and Ba. Sccr r & BOWNE, Chemists, NY.
