The lumber trust of $20,000,600 will devote its attention to keeping the price of lumber up to the high notch. The trust controls some 200,000,000 feet. This is, perhaps, one of the “good” trusts. It is announced that the Indiana IleiHiblica-H'EilitoriahAssoeiatiOTiis to meet in Indianapolis Feb. 25 and 26, ** 1909. The sessions will be held at the Claypool Hotel. The banquet will be given on the evening of the2sth and the business sessions will be held the day following. The only possible excuse for thinking that the President’s salary should be increased from $50,000 a year to SIOO,OOO is, that it might be easier for a President to name his successor. Since the advent of RoosevelLism—- - so-called reform—there is a sort of disposition for the President to be the whole thing—and too, it has the mistaken endorsement of millions of people. A strengthening of this centralized power might be very materially aided by a salary more in keeping . fith royalty. ~, V ' ~ * 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. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I,then tried Electric Bitterg, and they cured me. -1 now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well.” 50 c. at J. S. Walters drug store.

The 1 sentence of President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor to one year in jail for contempt of court, John Mitchell, vicepresident, and former president of the United Mine Workers, to nine months on the same charge and SecretaryTreasurer Morrison of the Federation to six months in jail, by Justice Wright will be viewed, no doubt from many standpoints and as varied as the prejudices or bias of those giving expression may obtain, it seems, however, that the unexpected did not happen. It is believed that these cases, had they been disposed of before the recent national election, that union labor would have taken some of the advice of their chief, perhaps. Joseph D. Oliver; of South Bend, at the head of the largest plow manufacturing concern in the world, believes that B. F. Shively should be elected to the senate. Mr. Oliver is a prominent Republican'. "Here is. what .hesays:.. ■ “It would be very agreeable to me,” said Mr. Oliver, “to see Mr. Shively elected to'the'United States senate, since there is no possibility of a Republican being elected to that position. It would be not only an honor to the city and county if Mr. Shively were elected, but it would be a mark of prestige in the records of the state of Indiana. He is at least the peer in character and ability of any other man seeking the position and I regard him* as eminently fitted to represent the state of Indiana in the senate in a manner creditable to himself and his constituents. Matters of special importance to this state are liable to engage the attention of congress within the next tew years and it will be of the greatest importance to Indianians if they can have a man of Mr. Shively’s ability and experience to represent them. I trust that the members of the legislature will see their way clear to electing Mr. Shively,” For That Dull Feeling After Eating. I have used Chamberlain’s Stomach and- Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have doiie me more good than any tablets It have ever used. My trouble was a h%avy dull feeling after eating.—David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the, liver and bowels. They are far superior to pills but cost no mpre. Get a free sample at J. S. Walters’ drqg store and see what a splenI pid tpetjicine itTs.

President Roosevelt will perhaps be remembered longer, after lie leaves the White House, for his propensity to rush into print than any President in history. The metropolitan press must find it a profitable business to get the President stirred up—it sells papers. Every since that revolution in Columbia which landed the canal territory for this government, there has been a suspicion abroad in the land, which it would seem, will not down untit congress goes to the bottom of the whole business. There have been made some very positive ollicial statements about the matter which only covers the ground so far as certain individuals are concerned. The big newspapers which have become involved will go the full length, perhaps, before they eat crow, and the finish will be interesting; and the results wholesome if the unvarnished truth shall come out in the open from the Columbia revolution down to the purchase from the canal company.

The Syracuse papers are loud in their denunciation of the Wawasee Protective Association in its tight to prevent the cement company from entering the big lake for marl. The papers pronounce it a selfish purpose on the part of the cottagers, and it will “kill the town” if the cement company is prevented from obtaining marl from the large lake, they say. Os course, there are always two sides to matters of this kind. In this tight it’s self-preservation on the part of the contestants. On the one hand, it is the priority of right with those people who purchased properties on the shores of Lake Wawasee and improved the value of the location as a pleasure resort. The Portland Cement Cos. is purely a commercial enterprise and is on earth (and incidentally i the water) for the dollars regardless of the consequence of how far it may affect the price of property on the lake or in the town of Syracuse—the cold business turn of the enterprise in its natural trend is the first cause of the company. The company’s interests are not to be considered beyond its legal rights, because of the priority of property rights incident to the large body of water. Basing the proposition, of course, upon the mere supposition that the success of one party to the contest must necessarily be at the expense of the other. The town of Syracuse, while it may be retarded in growth and property depreciated from the ultimate defeat of the cement company, if such should be the case, her people could not in any reasonable sense expect the cottagers to sacrifice anything for them, merely as a third party interested in the controversy. This seems to be a fair statement of the case in its present status.

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS HAVE EXERCISES — ; ' (Continued from Ist page,) of the old fashioned fire-place, to please the little ones and awaken memories in the minds of the older ones, when on Christmas eve, the then prevailing fire-place was made ready for Santa’s ingress through the big chimney to till the various sized stockings with dolls and toys, candy, and now and then a big red apple to help fill the long stockings—times have changed since then, and it requires less expenditure in this day to fill the stocking- t\vith candy than with apples. But to return. Over the rostrum was a canopy of colored paper forming an arch beneath which the pupils took up their places while rendering their part of the program. At this there was. no distribution of candy, etc. The Rpv. Mr. Fisher is the pastor, and P.' D. Burgener is the Sundayschool superintendent.' AT THE BRETHREN CHURCH ° The Brethren Sunday-school, the largest in Nappanee, had an overflow house to hear their program, which was one of merit because of the large variety of talent which takes part in the Christmas eve exercises. The program was somewhat interfered with by reason of the illness of so many*,of the children who were confined to their homes with the measles. The rostrum was nicely decorated witli an arch of green paper hung with bells. On one side was the inscription “Merry Christmas,” and on the other, “Peace on Earth.” At the door was a plate for a free-will offering, which on Christmas was distributed to the poor, including clothing contributed for the same purpose. The distribution was made by Wm. Widmoyer’s class The children had received their usual treat on the Sunday previous. The Rev. Mr. Oberholtzer, is the pastor, and James Cosper is the Sundayschool superintendent. AT THE GERMAN BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday-school of the German Baptists held their exercises on Christmas night. An interesting program of music and declamations was rendered by the pupils who also received the usual remembrance in the distribution of candy, etc. Rev. Daniel Wysong is the pastor, and Mrs. Elias Blosser is the superintendent of the Sunday-school. AT THE MENNONITE CHURCH The Sunday-school at the Mennonite church on North Main street rendered the usuar interesting program on Christmas forenoon. Presents of candy, oranges, etc., were distributed to the pupils of the various classes following the program. The exercises were listened to by a large congregation. Bishop Burkholder and Rev. Ezra Mullet are pastors of this church and George Hartman is the Sundayschool superintendent. AT THE AMISH MENNONITE CHURCH A paqked house heard the formal and interesting program at the Amish Mennonite church on Christmas forenoon as rendered by the Sunday-school. At the close of the program the pupils and everybody present were treated to a gift of candy,- fruit, etc. This is one of the large Suuday : schools. Rev. Henry McGowan is the pastor, and Edward Lape is superintendent of the Sunday-school. MENNONITE BRETHREN IN CHRIST The Sunday-school of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ church had no Christmas exercises, but the treat of candy, etc., was given the pupils on the Sunday before Christmas. Rev. Jesse Moore is the pastor of the church, and Frank Baker superintendent of the Sunday-school.
