Wak/' arusa has been ort the boom hs the result having had a newspaper, the patronage of has attracted competition. - The forthcoming caucus of the Democratic minority iu congress on the 10th inst. will perhaps decide the question, so far as the caucus is concerned at least, whether the Democratic idea shall or shall not be shorn of its whiskers. There has been given out information to the effect that Ora Strine, the wife murderer, will recover to face in the court the grave charge of murder. Score one for that Elkhart doctor who knows how badly a man can cut his own throat and live. The South Bend Times will install a Hoe perfecting press this coming March. This will necessitate a stereotyping department and an engravers’ department, in addition to several new type setting machines. This means that the Times will have the most perfect plant in the State outside of Indianapolis. In the proceedings of the town board of trustees rt will be observed that it is the purpose of the authorities to stop the gambling machines and devices of every nature. For this the board is to be commended. They have shown a willingness to untie the hands, so lo speak, giving him an opportunity to suppress all sorts of gambling, slot machines, etc., without depending on anything but himself and his own eyes. That the marshal will do as he is empowered, authorized, and directed to do,, there is now- no reason to doubt. The issue was as easily disposed of as made. In its greeting to the New Year the Eikhart Review utters these lofty sentiments: “Thereare certain common obligations that each should discharge more pirdently, more wisely, more persistently in the year we greet. The laws of social relations and of obligation one to the other press upon us certain duties that passing years make more ueccessary of wise and conservative performance. .Civic duties, citizenship and social relationship, business ties, home obligations deepen and broaden with each advancing twelve-month, and the individual of to-day has a wider-range of influence, a finer adjustment to his fellow man, a deeper obligation to humanity than the man of even a year ago. We sometimes forget that the whole circumference of a man’s being is enlarged with the expanding reach of intellect, opportunity and achievement.” The stealing of the remonstrance _.papeLfro m DeLong-by-“Dode” Prickett last Thursday morning is an act which should not be “winked” at by this community if there is any law which may be applied to the perpetrator of the dastardly trick. It is the general belief of the people of Nappanee that Prickett’s past offenses have been such, that this time he should be made an example of, notwithstanding that his people, highly respected in the community, have much sympathy because of the disgraceful conduct of their son whom they have shielded from the law’s wrath heretofore. Any man who can be such a “tool” is dangerous to the community. There is double reasons, therefore, why this matter should not be condoned, even though it be true that Prickett received legal advice before stealing the remonstrance and returning it on Monday after it was believed to have been to late for service. While everybody believes that Prickett did not do this act without compensation it will be, perhaps, a difficult matter to reach those back of him, if there be any such. It would be a crime against the community Dot to make an attempt, at least, to punish this offense against common decency if not against the law, no matter whether it proves toLe of any real service or not to the applicants for saloon licenses. The

scoring this man Prickett got from the pulpit Sunday Is enough to make all the yellow dogs in town bark at him when he appears on the streets of Nappanee, because of his infamy. COUNTY REFORM LAW GOOD THING. J Goshen Democrat. For those who ever had any honest misgivings as to the real beneifts derived from the county reform law, if there are such, no further proof should be needed-to convince them of the worth of that measure than the result of the letting of the contract for the county printing a few days ago. For the year 1902, the printing will cost Elkhart county less than $2,000. Under the old system when there were numerous petty grafts to satisfy the county would have been put to four or five times the expense for the same, work. A few years ago when every county ollicer could order what be wanted from $5,000 to $12,000 per annum was spent for printing, supplies, etc. Competitive bids render this holdup scheme impossible. The days of favoritism have passed. Asa matter of fact nobody opposes the county reform law but those who are individually squelched by it. The politician who hoped to pay his political debts by using the patronage of the office to which he was elected is of course disappointed that he cannot do so. Firms who had been robbing the county and living at the expense of the people will likewise be slow to recover from their disappointment. Had Elkhart county been managed by the present county council several years ago, the condition of the finances here would have been far different than at present. Had business men like John W. Fieldhouse been selected as county commissioners instead of notorious political tricksters and tools for corrupt agents, the system of robbing would have been abolished. Some of the Republican office-holders hate the county council. They cannot conceal their enmity and bitterly condemn the members, especially Mr. Zook and Mr. Weaver. These two gentleman are Republicans and both have taken an active part in politics, but they are not going to enter any bargain. Office-holders had been in the habit of running things with a high hand for so long here that they are loth to give up their snaps. But with the county council now directing things nobody is going to get any money who is notbrTtitled-to it. The people should have learned long ago that it pays to put persons of integrity and business ability in office. Two much economy cannot by practiced in public affairs. The practice of blindly going to the polls and voting for party candidates is decidedly poor policy. There have been many improvements in the court house officers in the past few years, but there is still plenty of opportunity to better things. If Banner Salve.

Sues The Former Cashier. ■Fremont Fulkerson against John Ludwig is the title of a case coming from Elkhart, in which the plaintiff alleges that the defendant, while acting as his cashier, collector and bookkeeper, collected SIO,OOO, which lie failed to account for, says the Goshen News- Times. The complaint in the case was very brief. The plaintiff in the case is proprietor of the Harvest Queen Mill Cos. at Elkhart and defendant has been in hisemploy as bookkeeper, but has recently accepted the management of a Minnesota mill. It is acknowledged in Elkhart that the amount of the actual shortage claimed is only about S7OO, but the suit for the large amount of SIO,OOO was brought to cover a series of transactions.

School Board Files Answer. The defendants in the case of the State of Indiana on relation of O. 6. Sims against Fred T. Atkinson, John Buzzard and Jacob H. Dell, members of the school corporation of the town of Wakarusa, filed an answer to the writ of quo warranto in the Elkhart circuit court this morning, says the News-Times of Thursday. They admit the incorporation of the town of Wakarusa in 1897 and the organization of the school board in November, 1901, when the defendants were elected members, and admit that the population of the town is less than 1,500. They ask affirmative relief and ask to be given control of the schools of Wakarusa. The case is the one in which the point at issue is as to whether the recently organized school board shall have control of the schools and school property or whether they shall continue in charge of Trustee Eby, Stanford Willard, the superintendent employed by the trustee after the death of Supt. Willard E. Miller of GosbeD, was discharged fiy the school board and for the Urst several weeks of the school year everything was in confusion in the Wakarusa schools. lie was succeeded by A. W. Miller, who held possession but one week, resigning the position. Charles Steele, of Forth Liberty, a St Joseph county teacher, is now in charge of the schools/ under the direction of the school board. If the plaintiffs wiu in the present litigation the possession of the school buildings and the management of the schools will revert to the trustee. Heads Should Never Ache.

Walters’ drugstore Business of The Circuit Court. The case wherein Maude Carpenter applied for a divorce from David E. Carpenter was turned down by Judge Ferrall. The court took occasion to lay down a point or two which indicates that “any old thing” don’t go in court. In this case, it seems that the man Carpenter was married to ; the woman in November in Judge Blake’s court at Elkhart, in answer to a paternity charge. Carpenter immediately left for parts unknown. The complaint for divorce setup the plea of cruel traetment and abandonment. After hearing the evidence Judge Ferrall stated that the wroDg was done before their marriage; that the statutory grounds of abandonment for two years and cruel treatment had not been proven. When the attorneys informed the court that the woman would have to go to the poor house unless she found relief in divorce, the prompt answer came that the courts rulings could not be made by sympathy, that law and the evidence governed. The case was passed without further notice. The case of George W. McLaughlin against the Union National Savings & Loan Association of Indianapolis, to cancel a mortgage, was disposed of on Thursday. The court after hearing the evidence in the case gave |he loan association a judgment for $407.87, against McLaughlin. Mr. Dodge made a motion for anew trial which was overruled, thirty days were given to tile a bill of exceptions and the case will now be taken to the supreme court. The case of Samuel D. Coppes against the same concern, which involved the Coppes Hotel, was taken up and disposed of finally with a •judgment in favor of the defendant company for $2,651.40 and foreclosure. In the case of Dr. E. W. McAllister et al. vs. Indiana Anchor Fence company, in the St. Joseph circuit court, the injunction was dismissed as to I)r. McAllister; change of venue to Elkhart county granted on affidavit filed by plaintiff. Phoebe J. Garman was granted a divorce from Frederick Garman and $250 alimony. Questions Answered.

Fort Wayne and Goshen to be Connected by Electric Line. The proposed scheme to connect Goshen and Ft. Wayne by an electric line touching Churubusco and Lake Wawasee, is again being agitated according to the Fort Wayne Sentinel which says: “James Lynch, one of the St. Louis gentleman who was in the city some weeks ago in the interest of the project, has written a Fort Wayne tleman to the effect that the company is about ready to incorporate with a capital stock of SOO,OOO under the Indiana law, and that it will be known as the Fort Wayne and Goshen railroad Company. Mr. Lynch has been at work at Goshen arousing interest in the plan and he has a strong petition signed by citizens of that city askiog for an election for the purpose of voting a subsidy of $30,000 to aid in the work. “The line as projected would be about sixty miles in length and Mr. Lynch with his St. Louis associates, are very enthusiastic over the outlook. AmoDg those who are said to be interested in the company are Banker Hubhell, of GosheD, and O. Gandy, of Churubusco. Attorney Stonex, of Goshen represents the St. Louis capitalists.” H. F.
