THE NAPPANEE NEWS Nappanee, Elkhart County, Ind. Entered at the Post-office: at Nappanee Ind., as second-class matter. A Paper For Ihe People. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One copy, one year... $ 1 50 One copy, six months 75 One copy, three months 40 By Gordon N. Murray. Vice-President Fairbanks has announced his intentions to engage in the practice of law at Indianapolis on his retirement from office. The present town board of trustees j may have an opportunity to handle another job of paving before they retire from office. The North Madison street property owners have paving under consideration for 1909. Thts coming :&at.u*day is the^wiadup day for the last saloon in Bremen. There are a number ofapplicants for licenses, though, which indicates that there will be a contest of the present blanket remonstrance now oh file at -Plymouth. ' . * ______________________________ The city of Elkhart is to receive a re-districting for election purposes as a number of precincts now over-run 300 voters as shown at the last election. The law requires that not more than 300 shall be the maximum number to a voting precinct.

It is said that a special local train (freight) was run over the G. It. & I. road out of Ft. Wayne Thursday to distribute beer to the “dry” towns along the line and adjacent to the road. It required seventeen cases to supply Piereetou alone. Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: “The good Electric Bitters have done is worth' more than five “hundred dollars to me. 1 spent much money doctoring for a bad case, of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters, ajpd they cured me. I now, take them as a tonic, and the/ keep me strohg and Well.” 50 c. at J. S. Walters driig store. —Tablets at the News Bookstore.

It will be of interest to people who buy oysters in bulk that that the pure food law is to be enforced against watered oysters, that is, oysters shipped with ice in the keg which melts and not only leaves impurities but gives the customers the benefit of water at 40 cents a quart. The Elkhart Review does not take kindly to Congressman Barnhart’s selection of a private secretary. That paper did not take kindly to Mr, Barnhart’s election. „ The Truth of the same city is trying to head off any boom for Mr. Shively for senatorial honors. It would seem that our Elkhart contemporaries are haying a hard time of it being suited. Walter Wellman in the RecordHerald says in one of his letters, that It goes without saying that Mr. Perkins is to have influence with the incoming administration, but it will not take the form of a request for tariff protection.

This is significant since it was Mr. Perkins who he sum of $1,000,000 for the campaign fund after Oct. Ist. Mr. Perkins belongs to the steel trust and the steel trust knows Where the ineofbingadministration will head in at on the tariff revision. The new local option law will be applied in Whitley county, the home of Gov.-elect Marshal. The petition calling for an election is already in circulation and it is being signed by people of all shades of party affiliatlon. lt Is the intention to make the county the first one to go “dry” in the State under the new law. Elkhart county will, perhaps, try her hand in the coming spring. The temperance people are anxious to apply the test at an early day. ' • Evidently, the Poles and Hungarians employed in Amboy, N. J. National Fireproofing company’s works have taken promises too seriously and they went out on a strike with the militia guarding the works. They ssy they were promised a raise in wages in the event of Taft's election. The matter was finally settled by thp promise that when present contracts had been filled which are based on the present scale of wages the pay of the men would be increased.

This talk of Gov.-elect Marshal being the next Democratic candidate for president Is’ rather premature, to say the least. However, the people of Indiana hope to see the governor make such a record as their chief executive that in two years from now lie may be classed among those men who are available for the highest office in the gift of the people. But making presidential candidates four years ahead of time maybe a pleasant pastime but it is attended with too many uncertainties to be taken seriously.
