Friday, March 3, 1800. The bill providing for a primary election law has passed the house. It was amended so thit its enforce ment becomes optic nal with the voters of the various counties. The holding of the Illinois su preme court that Chicago is respon sible for damage done in the riots of 1S94 is an interesting reminder of the responsibility of the public for the enforcement of law. The Indianapolis Sentinel says to the democratic representatives who are damning its course on the reform measures, that it thinks it has done right and adds in words to this effect "If they don't like it they can lump it. Senator Gorman says there are enough army officers strutting around Washington in uniform, attending suppers and parties, and doing nothing but drawing their salaries, to make up a formidable army in themselves. A Whington correspondent says Senator Fairbanks has prepared an amenci lent which will be submitted to the general deficiency bill, to pay the governor of Indiana S,ooo, to reimburse the state for expenses of maintaining the hospital for volunteer soldiers, at Indianapolis during the war with Spain. Judge Day need never want for office so long as McKinley is president. Thus far Day has proven himself a very able and worthy officer wherever tried. First he was made assistant secretary of state ; then secretary of state ; then a member of the peace commission, and lastly a United States district judge, all within two years. So far as the townships are concerned, the reformers have got in their work. If the anticipated re duction in township taxes is not realized, the tax payer will be at liberty to pass judgment, but until then let him keep still and hope for the best. The new law should have a fair test. If it works well its makers will receive due credit ; if otherwise, the people will see to it that it is repealed. Columbia City Post. The trial of Snator Quay and son which was to have commenced Monday, has been postponed until April 10th, at the request of the state's attorney. Quay affects to be grievously disappointed over the postponement, as he had his witnesses present and was ready to proceed. He is anxious to get the matter off his hands. It is intimated that the reason for asking for more time by the state, was that an effort to tamper with the jury had been made. CAN'T KKK1 MOUMON ROISKKTS OUT. William E. Curtis, Washington correspondent to the Chicago Record, sums up the Roberts case in the following paragraph: The committee on rules and the best parliamentarians agree that the house of representatives cannot expel Mr. Roberts or even try him for polygamy any more than it can try another member for forgery or murder. If Mr. Roberts is convicted of polygamy in the regular courts and a certified copy of the record is furnished to the house, that will probably be accepted as evidence of his disqualification, just as if some other member should be convicted of murder, forgery or arson. COUNTY ItEfOIOI HILL PASSES. The County Reform Bill passed the house Monday by a bare constitutional majority and will become a law. Nine republicans voted agf inst it and two democrats for the bill. Rut for the two democrats the bill would have been lost. The vote stood 52 for and 45 against. aaaaWaaaaaaaBaaa A New York business man baa made a clean, Bare and complete failure.

Edward Wilson arrived from Florida today and will visit with her father, Ebert Deacon, 6ix miles south east of here. The Walkerton postollice for the last four quarters shows a 6utlicient volume of business to entitle it to be placed in the presidential ciass. The plant of the Laporte Carriage company at Laporte, owned by Parkhurst & Wilkinson, was damaged S3,000 by fire Sunday morning. Incendiary. I. It.

Tomorrow he will be taken to Donaldson by hi3 friends for burial. Some thirty young people gathered at the home of Amanda Langfeldt last night to celebrate her seventeenth birth day. Refreshments were served and various amusements suitable to the occasion were introduced. All departed at a late hour wishing her many more happy birthdays. Mrs. Pohl is one cf our remarkable citizens. She is eighty-eight years old and is entirely free from many of the infirmities of that advanced stage in life. Long ago she obtained her 6ecor.d sight and reads and pews as well as any lady of fifty. She performs her own household duties and is never idle. Goshen Democrat: Since the courts have been appealed to in regard to short weight on coal, purchasers are going to the trouble and expense of weighing their fuel when delivered. Two merchants on Saturday weighed coal and found that they were short. It would not be surprising if more cases were heard of. General Miles has had a comparatively easy task in establishing his position on the army beef question before the eyes of the country. He has merely narrated facts and it remains for o.icials of the war department to dispute those facts, as they have been doing all along, and to further enhance their reputations as p erverters of facts. Mayor Quincy, of Boston, has in contemplation the use of the crematory to supply the place of the potters' field. It is claimed that the city could cremate bodies at the cost of SI a body, whereas it costs -S3 to dig a grave. It will be interesting to watch the developments in this exciting discussion, on which opposite opinions ire held by t Iii most prominent persons. Rev. C. E. Weiss of this city has a cat which might well take its place among the upper tens of the feline race at the famous cat shows in New York City and Chicago. This pussy is very large and has black hair which is long and Huffy, like a dogs. She is no relation to the Siberian cats of which European sovereigns are so proud. She is simply a freak. Her mother wan a common short haired cat, quite homely it is said, and unworthy of such an aristocratic and beautiful daughter. The Masonic Mutual Insurance society that was organized in 1807 and was the first of fraternal insurance companies, and the model on which most of such organizations are built, has finally and formally been declared

dead by the courts. It had a ballance of $2,848.87 to pay off claims amounting to about $100,000. The society had many ups and downs and struggled

hard for its life, but had to give up and those who managed it do not believe it is possible to maintain insurance on such a plan. The installation of Rev. C. E. Weiss as pastor of the German Evangelica church took place Sunday forenoon The service was very impressive ana was performed by Rev. Pn. Werheim of South Bend, in presence of a large audience. At the close of the service the newly elected officers, Messrs. John Birkhold, Jacob Haag and F. II. Kühr were installed, who, in connection with the old officers, Messrs. R. C. Kloepfer, John C. Kuhn and Peter Hanson, and tteir new pastor, will do their utmost to promote the welfare of the church. From Wednesday's Dally. Grip is still raging at Argos. Sample Jacox's cough drops. 6dlw Dan Jacoby is suffering from a large carbuncle on his neck. Marriage license appearing on the book for Feb. 28, Geo. Fore and Ora D Ramsay. The child of James Beagle died last night at Etna Green. Mr. Beagles went to the latter town this morning. Mrs. Frank Crumley and Eliza Crum ley went to Rochester today where they will testify in the Osborn Insurance case. Tne rains have worked havoc with the roads in the country. In many spots they have been washed down badly. C. J.Swanson, of Donaldson, was in the city today to attend to the shipping of Mr. Longren's body from the county house. Margaret Caldwell, of Wood county Ohio, who has been visiting Emiline Pearo, of Burr Oak, left for her home this morning. An interesting meeting is being con ducted by II. F. Cordill at the Church of God at Inwood. Two came out for baptism last night. Mrs. Wm. Osborn, of Culver, fel down the outside steps to her house this morning and broke her leg. It has been properly set and is doing well. The Osborn case was before the court at Rochester today. Messrs. Charles Kellison and Harley Logan are the law yers for Osborn and Samuel Parker and E. C. Martindale are employed by the other parties. A bill has passed and become a law allowing all incorporated cities and towns to provide an ordinance for keep ing streets and alleys clean and pay for so doing either out of the general fund or by assessment against the property owners. Yesterday Glen, the two-year-old eon of Mr. Goddard fell in a rain barrel head first. Luckily the child's mother was near and saw the accident. He was extracted with some difficulty and was badly strangled but is at present none the worse for the accident. This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sarber, east of this city, entertained about seventy five guests at dinner. The affair was in honor of the couple's fiftieth birthday. It is a remarkable fact that one is but five days older than the other. A sumptuous repast teeming with all the savory foods and delicate desserts which one could desire was set before the guests. The occasion will be remembered. General Wallace is now engaged in talking about the Mexican war. Some months ago he broke loose in a tirade against General McClellan, and although the subject of bis ire was dead many brave men came forth and defended the dead warrior, and showed that Wallace failed to understand what he was talking about or was purposely untruthful. It is refreshing that he has sought a more ancient subject. Governor Mount has signed the bill appropriating 8100,000 for the com pletion of the soldiers' monument. It is stated that while the governor was inclined to believe that this was one of the things that might wait, in view of the pressing demands that are beiDg made on the state at this time, he did not feel like opposing the action of both bodies of the legislature. Besides Gen. Lew Wallace headed a delegation that called on the governor to urge that he approve the bill. A singular, and so far as we know unheard of, occurrence was related to a representative of this paper Saturday, says the Elkhart Review. The feeder of a press in the press room of the Miles Medical Co. permitted the brake to come in contact with the flying wheel, while it was running, to such an extent as to heat the rim, thereby expanding it and bre iking four of its spokes When the boy stopped the press and took hold of the wheel it was so hot that his hands wero literally blistered. Mr. Dickinson's plan for laying a main line of sewer in the bed of the river is receiving considerable attention by in created citizens. The expense is one of the main objections. There are many bends in the river which would lengthen out the sewer. At a rough estimate $5,000 would not cover its cost. Councilman Morris has a plan for ridding the city of its sewerage which is but a modification, but a very important one, of Mr. Dickinson's. In

stead of placing a pipe in the bed of the

river he propoees to dredge the river in those parts where it is clogged. He would then use the water from the large Mowing well at Zehner's mill to keep a constant current in the river bd during the hot days of summer Should the water of the one llowing well be insutlicient, other wells could be drilled. Where there is llowing water, any amount of sewerage could not cause an epidemic. Ex-Mayor Whiteside, of Jeffersonville, has a contract for supplying the troops at Havana with potatoes and onions. Shipments are made every two days, and by his contract he is required to laud 7,500 barrels of potatoes in Havana each month. The soldiers are allowed daily eight-tenths of a pound of potatoes and two tenths of a pound of onions. Heavy shipments of oil from the quarter master's depart ment are being made daily to the several points in Cuba where camps are situated. Since the burning of the Fertig school house, Trustee Grube finds 6ome forty pupils on his hands without any place for assembling. He is yet undecided as to what desposition he will make of them. Nineteen, he finds, are within a reasonable distance of the Stuck school house and the remainder are nearer the Sligo building. Should he decide to divide the pupils with the two schools the crowded condition necessitated, might work disadvantageous. However, he will arrange matters in the bebt manner possible. From Thursday's Dally. Wm. Meiler is on the sick list. Sample Jacox's cough drops. Gdlw Wm. Kendall is again able to be at his store. Wm. R. Harris is expected to arrive from Kansas next Saturday.

Miss Almira King of this city left lor Lima this morning. The first grade pupils held a discussion yesterday upon this question, lie solved: That the newspaper is coudusi?e to public good. The question was decided in the atlirmative by 6ix points. Mrs. Dr. McKlrath went to Ktna Green today to attend the funeral of her friend Edward Philipps. Mr. Philipps was 8fJ years old when he died and was one of the oldest residents of Kosciusko county. Last evening the Stag Literary club met in the otlice of J . A.

A memberof the Michigan legislature has offered a bill which provides for the iesüing of licenses at $5 a head to 11 those who desire to driuk intoxicants. Liquor cannot be sold to any person who does not have a license. A Chicago paper is of the opinion that such a law would till the depleted treasury of that city. But it will not become a law this season, nor next. Such "reforms" are simply freak notions. Last night a knockout fight occurred between a brakesman on the Pittsburg road and a young man of this city who was trying to 6teal a ride to Chicago. Having ejected the young man from tne box car in a forcible manner, the former turned on the brakie and gave him a heavy blow. Both clinched and soon were rolling over one another on the ground. At this pcint another brakesman ran to the rescue and joined in the fray. A moment later the conductor arrived. Through his efforts peace was established and all parties went on their way, presumably rejoic ing. Again That League Story.
