Call for Democratic Convention. The democrats of the sereral townships of Marshall county are hereby called to meet on Saturday, December 28, 1101. for the purpose of appointing delegates to Thirteenth congressional district coorentioD to be held in South Bend on Wednesday, January 8, 1002, the ob ject of said district conTention being to elect a member of the state central committee for the ensuing two years. Each township is entitled to the following number of delegates: Union 2 Center 4 Green 1 Bourbon 2 Tippecanoe 1 German 2 North 1 Polk 2 West 1 Walnut 2 Total 18 Said meetings in each township shall be at 130 o'clock and at the following places to-wit: Union at Culver. Center at Plymouth. Green at Whippoorwill school house. Bourbon at Bourbon. Tippecanoe at Tippecanoe. German at Bremen. North at Lapaz. Polk at Tyoer. West at West school house. Walnut at Argos. At said meetings each township is requested to select a member of the county central committee from each Toting precinct and report the names of such committeemen selected to the secretary of the county central committee. C. U. Vink, Chairman. Harry E. Grube, Sec. Harry Stover, a young man out 27 years of age has been nominated for mayor of Marion by the republicans. Evidently Marion is not as conservative as most cities. Henry A. Barnhart, publisher of the Rochester Sentinel, handled the Grange convention in his paper last week most enterprisingly. Mr. Barnhart knows what the public expects of a newspaper and he never disappoints. The people of Fulton county should manifest an appreciation of such enterprise as has characterized the Sentinel. Speaking of the present congress the Washington Post gives this bit of interesting information about the boasted harmony in the Republican party: It is doubtful if any congress has ever assembled in which the majority party was so divided in opinion as to subjects and character of legislation as is the republican majority in the congress that meets today. Upon all the great ques tions that have been before the country since the last congress expired, and upon which this congress has been expected to act, there are radical and seemingly irreconcilable differences. BEGINS Einum TEAR. The Marshall County Independ nt entered upon its eighth year with its issue last week, being established in 1894. It has had remarkable growth such that today

it is monarch of the field in which it circulates. Its success against odds at the beginning can be attributed to the fact that it is essentially a newspaper. It has hued to the line, giving the news at all time. It has representatives in all parts of the county and is the only Marshall county publication that keeps a regular solicitor and news gatherer in

the country. It today leads all other Marshall county papers in circulation. At present it occupies its own building, located in the town center. That it is wielding a satisfactory intluence is evidenced by the large family of regular readers in all portions of the county. It begins its eighth yeir with the best prospects in all its history and will seek to make itself even more appreciated than ever before, STROM SKR VIC KS CI.OSKI. Rev. H. Ostrom gave his closing address Sunday night. He and the singing evangelist, Mr. I Iillis, have labored among us for two weeks and these two weeks have been pro ductive of much good, for many souls have learned to know God. The songs of Mr. I Iillis have kin dled new hope in the hearts of the weary and have added an inspira tion to the hopes of the young. Rev. Ostrom is unequaled by any pulpit orator, who has ever come to Plymouth, His addresses have not been passionate appeals to the emotions, but they have been powerful appeals to the intellect. Not once has he tried to persuade men by frightening them with picturing the horrors of the next life which man would suffer if he did not become a christian ; but always his sermons have been full of the love and right eousness of God. Emphasis has been laid upon the necessity of giv ing one's life to Christ not alone for the hope of getting into heaven, but in order to make this life glori ous. For if one lives a righteous life in this world, he need have no fear of not entering heaven. The evangelist's method of pre senting the gospel has been consis tent with the teachings of Christ. He cannot be accused of being irrational in his statements, nor illogical in his conclusions; for in all his talks great stress was laid upon making clear, forceful statements and then in draving logical deductions. He convinced men of the errors of their lives and of the evil consequences of sin by stating facts. He made no radical statements without substantiating them with incontrovertible evidence. His seemingly inexhaustible supply of vivid illustrations did much toward clinching in the hearts of his hearers the truths which he had established by a logical course of reasoning. His arguments for knowing there is a God, and also for having a consciousness of his ever abiding presence, were powerful. His appeals to the heart and reason of man were so wonderfully filled with the boundless love of Christ, that his hearers were made to realize, as they never realized before, that Christ died to save them. Christianity was shown to be a process of refinement. Man was made to feel that he is a great creature, capable of wonderful victories, if he were only willing to trust to God to make him great. The loving words of the evangelist awakened the hopes, uplifted the ideals and aroused the latent energies of all who heard him, for he brought to his hearers the realization of the marvellous possibilities of a human soul. TI1K SCIIL.KI VKKDICT. The verdict of the Schley jury is no verdict at all, as effort has been made to satisfy both sides in the controversy, thus leaving the matter as it stood before the trial. Dewey, who is in a position to take a position in opposition to the navy, evidently expressed his candid sentiments. The other two members of the investigating committee being more or less under the discipline of the department and perhaps more or less jealous of Schley doctored their report enough to exhonerate the navy. It matters little what the decision of the investigating committee, a just public sentiment will re ward Admiral Schley as he so richly deserves. Stop the Cough and Works off" the Coll.

WHAT IS YOL'K LIFE?

SUBJECT ABLY CONSIDERED BY REV. OSTROM. Tli lnllrrtli- Mm 11 IU All to l Im Determining m l.ife-.Mniu Spring f lirit iitn' Life 1h Set in the Will of iol A iiiioiiiH-emeiit litre iveii. There is peihape no question which awakens with greater forcf the dormant energies of a poul, thun thn thoughtfnl coueideration ot "What is your life?" Surh a question brings one to the realization that unless he popeespe a (iod-like character, hie lit standf for naught. A Chrit-'ly character is the foundation stone of a noblman'n life. What a man really is, his lifejut as hi heart knowe it to be, is a marfp character. A ri.in'e motive has much, if not all, to say regarding hi life; for while he might, pooeibly for a time live two li?es on a pet ret life at d the other one for the world, ptill in tim nun of the lives woti'd neeesarily become absorbed by the ptroDw'e-r life and tt ere would result a character, which would ptand bp an expression of the min'p ruotivep. Hereditary iuhienrep and environments have much to do in determining a manV character, but they are powerlep when compared with the ability of (lod to mould the character ol hin who hap voluutan'y given hiß life to Christ, willing that Jesus should work in him. (od has the power to crußh the evil influence that hereditary and environment may be exerting over a man's life and traoeform ttie person into a newcreature, who shll be unelTected by either of these two influences the only condition being that the man po earnestly desire5 a Christ-like character, that he willt- that (Jod phall enter his heurt, and then by cleansing it from all impurities completes the transformation. When a man has become right with (Jod, then this nlluence will be for good, for the niainsping of Ms life is set in the will ot (iod, and t.hu- he is empowered to do (Jod's purpoee. When man stops to think that each secret thought of bis leaves its impression upon some one's character, for the thought leads to a deed, he is brought to the realization of what a responsibil ity he is assuming if his life is not in harmony with Christ's. For he thinks of the bliffhtning influences that the deeds of a non-christian may exert over someone's life, and realizing his own weakness he cries out to (jod, "O, comei and be the guidance of my life, that my intluence shall be to uplift humanity." The sermon of Friday night was an appeal to the reaou of mau to accept Christ. The more we understand of the christian religion, the more we are convinced that it is intelligent. It is a high tribute to the human intellect, that (iod saves men through faith, aod this faith is no guess so, hope so condition of the mind, but a know so. Faith is the thorough assurance of the realization of a human desire, also desire being consistent with the will of (Jod, be cause be who has the desire is living in harmony with Christ. It's natural for a little child to believe in (Jod, for pin has not crept into his life and choked the work of truth out of his heart; but as the child grows up, he may allow the sorrows, the social conditions or the business cares of this world to break down the natural harmony that should exist between God and man. Thus his power of faith which be possessed when a child has become dwarfed, just as the arm of man would become weak and paralized for the want of exercise if the man would carry his arm in a sling and refuse to make use of it. God never makes a promise to man, but that he keeps it he is worthy to be trusted for back of every covenant is first, God s power. He is all powerful thereby possessing the strength to perform his works. Second, God's wisdom. No mistakes are possible when a man is under the guidance ot the Infinite. He cannot be prevented from fulfilling his promises because of any schemes of man. And third, the most wonderful and blessed of all, is God's love. He has made the promises and Is fulfilling them bacauee he loves us so. O, the power of his love it is incomprehensible "He loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him might have life everlasting. The service of Friday afternoon concluded the series of addresses that Hev. Ostrom had been giving in the afternoon of last week. Theee five sermons have been of wonderful benefit to those who availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing such masterful discourses. They have brought to us the realization that in order to be true christians we must give ourselves, all of self, to Christ; they have convinced us that there can be no compromise in Christianity. We must either be for Christ or against him, we cannot serve two masteis at the same time. Soma Kolter Heilert ion. The gospel of Christ taught by an earnest, capable man cannot but bring about results, for good in any community. The practual lessons in the life of Christ and his early disciple when pet fourth by an educated man contain so much that tends to the betterment of mankind and the uplifting of humanity that the visits of such en one are like the oases In the desert of doubt and uncertainty in the minds of so many of our people. Church going is a habit not easily formed, but unfor tunately very easily broken and in this community some very good and influential men have not formed the habit of going, or If they even did, very soon lost the habit. Why is It that they are

non attendants at our peveral churchep? A year or two ago one of the orogrt-p-sive minister? feubraitted a neries of qnePtions on the point and read the .iiiswers without the name-' of the party answering, and the consensus of opinion seemed to be the lack of that quality 11. the pulpit to interest the average r:on attendant, who wanted practical religi"U in the wertnou or lecture instead of dogmatic or theological discussion. There 6ceme,; to 'je a trend of opinion that our weekly sermons did not rise to the point of instructive quality on the practical side of lit e that uiad it worth while to attend, when the ;unday papers of the great cities abounded in that very quality that, was lacking in the r-ermon. (Jet nearer the practical aod utilitarian side of liie, was the cry and your churches will be tilled. Throw dogma, creed anddisension to the winde teach "charity for all and malice toward none," and your congregations will become larger and better and will do more for hum uiity. We can hardly pick up a daily without seeing an account of some philanthropist coming to the aid of his native or adopted home in a most substantia! donation, legacy or endowment. The wirter has no recollection of any munificence or magnanimity ever being displayed in his life by any of our city s rich men, or any substantial gift by will or devise within a great, many years by any ot that ilk here. The reputed rich men of Fl) mouth as a rule are closer fisted than the men of moderate means. They hang on to their dullars like "grim death to the gentleman of color", and when they dir their tax evaded thousands go t their next of km to be harrMtd usually in the same old way for self. Tne men who have piled up tnousands of dollars here, are not ovtrburdened with philanthropic aims nor defires, and we have the tl ret rich manV gift yet to receive for a public park, public library or public hospital. Who will be the first to start the idea, that he who does nothing for charity or the home wheie he made his dollars in life or by will has not done his duty? Who will start a hospital endowment? Divorces while you wait. The divorce grind in the courts of Indiana is nr. and in every county the dockets predominate in domestic cases. The subject is old and no new thing can be 6aid for or against the eavy granting of divorcee, but the best argument yet devised to prevent divorce is to make marriage harder make each party to the contract pass the test of a board of examiners as to health, ability to support and maintain families, and with moral conditions and envronincnt. Collusion to obtain divorces ought to be made impossible by strict investigating into the merits of each case. So long as divorces are granted ou the payment of nominal cost and for trivial oflenses, just 60 long the sacrednessof the home and marriage relation will be regarded lightly, aod just In proportion as they are made harder to obtain, just st will the plighted trash assume a higher, nobler and better

aspect. FOOTS I T TIIKKK MILLIONS. The Clem St mleltaker Ktat KxrenU Original Valuation. The largest bond ever tiled in northern Indiana and one of the very largest in the state, has been filed by Mrs. Ann Studebaker, Col George M.Studebaker, Clement Studebaker, Jr., and Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle, j iint executors of the late Clem S'udebaker'u estate. It is for 62,500 0CO and is furnished by a Hiltimore trust company. JJy the terms ot the will 6.0 X) shares of the 10,1 H" held by the late Mr. Studebaker in theStudebaker Manufacturing company, were given to the three children, share and share alike, with certain amounts in cash aDd SlO.fOO to each of the seven grandchildren, as well as certrin residence properties. The 10,185 8haresleft to the widow at par value, which is far below their real value, and 135,000 stock at par value in the Mishawaka Wool Hoot company, together with a large block of very valuable South Uend Gas company stock, also about 2,500 acres of farm land and about 8200,100 insurance, with some business blocks, etc., foot up SI, 185,000 after all bequests are met. The Tippecanoe Flace mausion belonged to Mrs. Studebaker. It is safe to say that the late Clem Studebaker'8 estate was nearly 3,000,000 under present valuations. Turk M. Martin' View. Chairmen of the Democratic State Committee Farks M. Martin, of Spencer, says, in an Indianapolis News interview, he sees no reason why the democrats will not be in a better position to make a winning light next year than they were a year ago. He thinks the democrats will have plenty of issues, but that the silver question is dead or at least setded for many years. The question of bimetalism, be believes, is also a thing of the past. He is not certain, he says, but that the gold standard is fully established, but the money question may come up from time to time in some form. The present session of congress, he says, may make political capital for the democrats. It, is the intention of Chairman Martin, after the reoreanization of the state committee Jan. 8, to retire from active politics. He has been state chairman during the last three campaigns and also chairman of the second district He Is not a candidate for district chairman. "1 have promised myself," said he. "at the eud of every campaign not to take such an active part in the next fight, but w.hen the time came around 1 was always in the thick of it the same as before. I suppose it will be the

Much of Chairman Martin's time is taken up now with his duties as stale tax commissioner, 60 he is not In position o give his attention to the stat organization. He believes that not more than four members of the present committee will be members of the organization next year. ONE DOLLAR A PLATE. Will H the Price mt the Jackson Day Itanquet. The committee on arrangements for the Jackson day banquet to be held at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, on the evening of Jan. 8, has decided to make it a dollar banquet. Several party leaders were in favor of giving a S3 banquet, but the committee after some discussion, decided that it would be unfair 10 the party masses to place the price ßo high. The tickets will be printed and ready lor distribution by the first of next week. Tickets will probably be put on sale at the Grand hotel and arrangements will be made to place them on sale in all the surrounding counties. In case Mayor Hose and Governor Montague reach the city in time on the day of the banquet the committee on reception will arrange a public reception for them at the Grand hotel in the afternoon. The committee is as follows: XV. II. Hawkins, Uert Cochran, Toomas Coyle, Richard Caleman, Dan Pyle and Dr. Tom Dugan. The meeting will be hf Id at 8 o'clock. Going Aftnr Iturbin. The failure of Governor Durhin to obey the constitution of the United spates in refusing to return V. S. Taylor ana Charles Finley to Kentucky will be made the subject of congressional inquiry. Congressman James M. Robinson, of Indiana, has introduced a resolution directing the judiciary committee of the house to Investigate and report as to whether the constitution and statutory provisions in reference to rendition of fugitives from justice are being ignored by the governors of any of the states of the United States. This will open the whole subject of Governor Durbin's alleged remissness of duty and doubtless will create a good many lively scenes in the committee before it is disposed of. New (inm Law I)iii;er. Confidence men have discovered a way to use the Indiana game law to lleece unwary farmers. James Mortimer of I'ulapkl county was the victim of two men who represented themselves to be Chicago bankers. They were well posted on the state game law, and they requested him to grant them a written permit to hunt, on his farm. They wrote out a permit for three days ot sport for $5 which they paid and one day last week this permit turned up at one of the banks as a promissory note f of 500 which had been sold to an Innocent purchaser. Ten other farmers near North Judson have been swindled in the same way. The YnngM Delegation In ConfrfM. It, is claimed that Indiana has the youngest, delegation in congress.
