The fact ha* been proven time and again that those who advertise their business and invite the people to trade with them are the energetic, pn*hing, active business men of the place In which they reside, and that they are the most liberal men with whom to deal. At the same time they make the effort to *npply their customer* with what they want. Therefore, we urge upon all reader* of the News to always consult Us column* before buying anywhere. Bargain* are offered through il* columns every week, and these can be learned by examining the pages of this paper. = ■ *Thk farmers of Kosciusko county are in favor of territorial expansion. At Mishawaka, the business men are talking city government. That is what Nappanee ought to have. Simon Pokaoon, chief of the Pottawattatnles, is dead. He was not only an interesting historical character of his race, but he was also a good Indiau before he died. There is not likely to be any change made in the present liquor law during this session of the legislature, either in favor of the liquor interests or in the interests of the temperance workers. Our subscribers will note after reading v tbe News this week, that Nappanee is still on the “Air Line” railroad. Through the courtesy of Mr. William Dallih the News Is able to print his letter to President McKinley on the great scheme he has in contemplation. Indiana seems unable to And a way to clean out the gamblers and race-track touts who gather at Roby and other places near the Illinois line. —Chicago IVibune. The greatest difficulty seems to be that Chicago’s supply of gamblers is longer than any moral law or statute of the State. '— Every citizen who thinks he can afford to pay one dollar a year toward main tai ning an Ha pro ve me n t assoc iatlon in Nappanee should not hesitate to sign the membership roster when it is presented" to him. There is no longer a question as to the value of an organization of the kind In Nappanee. It has been tried to some purpose. Secretary Alger admitted before the war investigating committee that it was some forty days after eongress had voted the sr>o,ooo,ooo war appropriation before any of it was used in preparing the army for war in the hope that the war jylth Spain would be averted. To be sure, this was just a trille slow for this government, but it seems to have been too speedy for Spain, at any rate. The anti-lynching hill before the State legislature by recommendation of the governor failed to become a law. There may have been plenty of good intent in the proposed law to cause the officials of a county to he on the alert to prevent lynchings, but the fact that the taxpayers would have to contribute directly for any negligence on the “part of a sheriff or any other officer was one of the objectionable features of the bill. Lynchings arc seldom If overdone by citizen.taxpayers, and tbd fact that the county would have to pay $5,000 to the heirs of the victim of mob violence would be no checkmate on irrepressible people. There is just a possibility that 95,000 to some good-for-nothing man’s family might lie a temptation for neighbors to put him up at the end of a rope instead of giving him the customary wbitecap lashes. Crip’s Ravages Doomed. t much misery and so many deaths have been caused by the Grip, that every one should know what a wonderful remedy. for this malady is found in Dr. King's New Discovery.

What was known as tbe quail bill, which proposed to prohibit tbe kill* ing of quails in this' State for a period of three years, failed to pass in the lower house of the legislature. Some people wanted the birds to become so plenty that they could save ammunition, or even go out and kill the birds with a club. It is supposed that the men who raise bird dogs at S2O each were “agin” the bill. This is only a supposition, however. The proposition in the legislature to provide for the payment of a bounty of one cent a pound for the purpose of fostering the beet sugar industry of the State found its proper stage when it reached the senate—death. There are always those who wish to engage in anything which may be profitable In the employment of capital, and there seems no necessity for bounties except to further bleed tbe taxpayers for special favors to men who live in certain localities where sugar beets may be grown with profit. The thermometer registered from 10 to 14 degrees below zero on Sunday morning, and from 6 to 10 degrees on Tuesday morning. These/were the coldest mornings Nappanee people have experienced during the present winter. This is somewhat remarkable when It is remembered that there has not been a single day’s sleighing during the entire winter, thus far. However, there is plenty of time jet for both sleighing and zero weather. The wheat has suffered considerably from the thawiDg and freezing process which it has undergone this winter. If Gen. Eagan’s plan of defense, the plea of excitement, is to brlDg. him leniency for the-language used against Gen. Miles, then the newspaper man who writes bitter and defamatory editorials, carefully reads the proof, revises the tame expressions, etc., may also plead “excitement” when a suit for libel Is brought against bis paper. Later—tbe plea of “excitement” seems to have had little or no effect, for the court martial at Washington, D. C., found tbe general guilty as charged and bis army career Is at an end. President McKinley may modify the penalty, through the pica of friends that Gen. Eagan’s mind was temporarily unbalanced. The Elkhart 'Truth ventures the opinion that there will be a warm time in Goshen when the bills come in for the improvements now being made in the court park. The city council has employed an expert landscape gardener from Chicago and great preparations are being made for beautifying the court house yard. The citizens of Goshen have been given to understand that tbe county will bear one-half of the expense of making these improvements, but the county commissioners say one cent will they appropriate for any such a purpose. The commissioners were in Elkhart yesterday, continues the IVuth, and two of them were heard to say that they were distinctly opposed to spending any Money in making Improvements in the court yard. At a recent meeting of the federation of labor at Kansas City, a proposition was madq—perhaps as a feeler —but not carried out, to introduce a resolution declaring that not another railroad strike should ever be ordered. The grounds upon which this was to have been advanced and argued, was that all other labor was by such a strike vustly injured, to a greater.cxteot thau a successful strike brought good to railroad employes or to the lalKr cause in general. Perhaps, the step In such a diroction was too much for the strike agitators, but it will come sooner or later through the conservative membership, for the time when a strike of any kind will benefit labor, Is of the past. The strike is as antiquated a weapon in the hands of labor as the old muzzle-loader gun would be in the hands of an army against foes equipped with the latest breech-loader. The laboring man must give his time of study in a different direction than the use of strikes as a means to better bis condition or to' increase his earning capacity. The study must be turned into that channel toward assisting in devising plans whereby the surplus of labor may be very materially reduced. Unemployed men aud irornen is the onfy problem that confrdnts those who already have employment. —Food does more harm than good when not digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. It prevents wasting diseases and cures stomach troubles. It cures indigestion, sour stomach and belching, and allows a worn-out stomach rest. It acts instantly. J. S. Walters.

The owners of metropolitan newspapers and advocates of trust-breeding laws, are being pinched by tbe paper trust—tbe greatest trust of all trusts. With a capital of around $55,000,000, this monopoly only stops at a point where tbe Canadian paper mills can not reach them, in competition. It is the same old story that originated with the late General Hancock. It makes some difference whose ox is gored, don’t you know. Notwithstanding the unprecedented demand for paper duriog the year just past, none was brought into |tbe United States for the very reason that the, tariff is prohibitory. This was tbe fact, notwithstanding tbe increased price of paper. The Newspaper Publishers’ association bold that there is no need of a tariff at all for tbe reason that the cost of importation is a sufficient protection to tbe American paper mills, and the only argument that can be brought Id favor of retaining tbe present tariff is that it is necessary in order that tbe trust may continue to pay interest on its bond Issue and dividends on its enormous issue of stock. Tbe people in general will be glad that if any class of business is to be “pinched” by a trust it will fall upon those whose persistent advocacy of trust laws has schooled the- people to believe them to be a necessity instead of a luxury. * • Miss Marie C. Brehm at the M. E. church last Thursday evening, presented a very forceful argument in favor of woman’s suffrage. There was sufficient of that dry humor and satire in tbe lady’s talk to relieve tbe subject of that staleness so often charged by the anti-suffragists. In short, the aDties—if there were any present—received a number of rounds of grape and cannister shot, metaphorically, which must have cut quite a swath for the cause espoused by tbe lady. She exploded tbe fallacious conclusion that the home and its sacred influence were in great danger in case woman was given the ballot which would bring ber in touch with corrupt politics. Miss Brehm simply called to mind that tbe manly and womanly instinct which inclines mankind to reach one of the highest aims of life—the formation of a houuv—could not be changed in tbe twinkling of an eye; it is nature which is Godgiven. This very something is the basic principle of which the suffragist movement seeks to protect from the ravages of diseased society as maintained by the ballot in the bands of man only. This is not the language of tbe lecturer, but simply tbe thought she gave to her auditors, among many other good things. And she also showed that there Ih no sphere in which woman has put forth brain or muscle in earning a livelihood but that man has already invaded it; then why this complaint from man about woman’s fitting herself for various professional and mechanical pursuits? There was one impression left by Miss Brehm on her auditors which will bear correction, and that is simply for an omission in reference to the proportion of young women who gradute from our high schools as compared with the number of young men. And, right here, Miss Brehm might add one more good hit for hfer cause as a coming necessity to sustain the intelligence and physical being of our coming generations of men. Simply, we are fast becoming a nation of shop-workers. This is where the schoolboys of the United States are drifting, while the girls finish with the high school education and fit themselves for places where a fair education and adaptability are a necessity, and thus the youug man goes it on his muscle while the young lady rides on the wave of her success by reason of a cultivated rniod. A young man should never trust to muscular training, wholly, until the mind has first had its training. Otherwise, it is not good for a nation of people. If heredity counts for anything, and we believe it does, then it Is a very bad thing which is to be visited upon the generations to com?. Herein, then, is something which will only be fully corrected by those who use the ballot in the Interest of the home. The compulsory education law in this State is a fair beginning, when taken with the law against the employment of young boys and girls in large factories,, There is yet room for good work in the direction.

The Indians have always been a brutal and a cruel nice.” Then he laughed gleefully, forgetful of the fact that there was still time for the dentist to add sls or S2O to his bill. —Chicago Post.

' •* -4 ' is not all alike by any means. It pays i to have good printing on any kind of stock one wishes to use. Printing, however used, is the life of business. Everybody wants a good business, hence, they must show by the kind of printing they use that they are in touch with the things that be—the elements of success. _ Otherwise the stranger who comes in contact with the printed matter of the business man whose printed stationery is “slovenly” executed, or is without design in its construction, or who perhaps writes his business letters under the marks of a rubber stamp, has measured your business by the class of stationery used, and such measurement loses to every business man more money annually than the very finest stock and best executed work would cost him. If who use job printing will weigh this matter carefully, the light of its truth will never grow dim or go out while you remain in business. OUR PRINTING is guaranteed to fill the requirement of all—even the most fastidious may be suited, not only in the class of work * but in the selection of stock as well.
