Shideler, of the State's Prison at Michigan City, has sent his resignation to Governor Durbin and will return to Marion, his former home, where he will reside and look after his business and political interests. Mr. Shidejer has made an excellent warden and his friends believe that he will be a candidate for nomination for some office on the state republican ticket. In his very interesting historical sketch, prepared for the old settlers' picnic at LaPaz, the Hon. Daniel McDonald brought out the fact that after the creation of Folk township, in Marshall county, a petition presented to the county commissioners requested that the name of North township be changed to Dallas, in honor of the vice-president elected with James K. Polk. The petition was granted, but immediately, or shortly thereafter, revoked in some mysterious manner. Mr. McDonald's paper is replete with interesting historical facts pertaining to the early settlement of the northern part of Marshall and the southern part of St. Joseph county. The citizens of that locality ought to secure its publication in pamphlet form. It is too valuable to be filed away in a pigeon-hole. South Bend Times. END OF HANNA'S BOOM. Harsh treatment from its idol wrecked the Forty-first Ward M. has wrecked the Forty-first Ward M. A. Hanna club and it is no more. Last week the republicans of his ward organized the M.A.. Hanna club with the avowed object of boosting the senator's presidential boom. The committee that was sent to formally inform the senator of the club's existence and its object reported Thursday night. It was a sad report. The senatar had used strong language, the committee said through its chairman, Martin Doran, in telling them in almost so many words that the club was a fool, that he had no presidential boom and wanted none, and That lie would not admit to being boomed by the club for president. The club received the report of the committee in silence that was broken by a member moving that the name of the club be chaged to the James A. Garfield club, which was done without a dissenting vote. The intimate friends of Senator Hanna have understood for some time that private reasons connected with his health absolutely preclude any future participation in active politics by him and of course make it impossible for him to aspire to the presidency. THE ANARCHISTS SHOT. The whole country is shocked and horrifed by the dastardly act of an obscure laborer who, his mind misled and warped by the incecdiary utterances of anarchists, has conceived the insane idea that. in some way the world would be bettered by the extirrnination of rulers and law. The assassin of Humbert of Italy is to him a hero whose act is worthy of emulation and by the attempted murder of McKinley he conceives himself to be a man above his fellows and destined to immortal fame. If the president recovers from his injuries, as there is much reason to hope he will do, he will be even dearer to the masses than heretofore, and his qualities of manhood and capacity as a statesman have given him a firm hold on the affections of the people. His strong grasp of public matters, his delicate and kindly management, his winning personality, his spotless integrity and his loving attentions to his wife are some of the thiogs the people have seen and admired. President McKinley had no enemies except those who are enemies to all regulation or society. There was no reason for killing him except that the votes of the people had for a time placed him at the head of the greatest nation on earth. The anarchist's shot was not aimed at him but at government and resrulated liberty. It is not reason, but the lack of reason. that leads to such attacks. The act itself is conclusive evidence of insanity. The sanity of the American people and the greatness of American institutions can best be demonstrated by dealing with this assassin calmly and under the forms of law. PROSPERITY ITEMS. The last report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, now being distributed, has an interesting bearing on, the amount of compensation received by railway employes for a series of years. " The figures prove that the railroad companies have shared very generously with their employes the prospertiy which has resulted from the header volume of business, and the Vitln -riffle nrVilAh it. Ync Vror wi. rie. The 2ew York Financier gives
a statement of
wages covering" the years 1895 and 1900, as follows:
Class. 1900. 1895. . Gen. officers.. $13,157,420 $12,234,680 Other officers. 8,141,500 4,854,824 Gen.officecl'ks 23,127,228 18,820,959 Station agents 18.553,252 15,G81,380 Othersta.men 45,627,016 38,460,710 Enginemen... 50,713,401 39,490,901 Firemen 29,203,596 22,571,130 Conductors... 30,089,322 23,708,480 Other trainmen 44,844,475 36,504,130 Machinists... 22,924,702 17,724,170 Carpenters... 28,144,452 20,961,980 Other shopmen 59,470,846 44,738,580 Section foremen ....... 18,481,594 16,735,700 Other trackmen 71,664,398 50,513,890 Switchmen, flagmen and watchmen.... 29,599,258 24,254,200 Telegraph operators and dispatchers... 16,176,401 13,615,300 Employes Ac't. floating equip 4,247,915- 3,260,000 All other employes and laborers 63,098,165 40,377,100
Total $577,264,841 $445,508,500 An analysis of the above shows that the railways paid for labor during the year 1900, $577,264,841, which is $54,296,945 more than in 1899 and $131,756,580 more than in 1895. The gross earnings of all the railways of the United States for 1900 were $1,487,044,814,against $1,075,371,460 in 1895, gross earnings therefore increased $411,673,352, or 18 per cent, while the compensation paid for labor increasing during the same period $131,756,580, or 29 per cent., and this increase went to what is known as the laboring class. On most roads, the amount of money paid to officers has fallen off through a reduction of salaries or dismissal of a certain per cent, of the officers where roads were top heavy; consequently there is no room for criticism on the part of employes that they have not shared in the prosperity that has come to the roads. ROOSEVELT DEFINES THE ISSUES. In his principal address in Minnesota on Labor day Vice President Tloosevelt dwelt with special emphasis on two questions the trusts ana the Monroe doctrine. Col. Roosevelt, of course, like all other men of sagacity and sanity, sees that combination, concentration, consolidation is a law of social gravitation against which the statutes of legislatures and congresses would be as powerless, except In a regulative way, as they would be against the law of physical gravitation. This principle operates among capitalists. It is in a directive and regulative capncitv that the state must deal With the vast combinations liich have recently come into existence. The interests of labor and capital are common, he pointed out- The government, state or nation, must "possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great corporations which are its creatures, particularly as regards the great business corporations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency." There is no socialism in these words. This is the doctrine of common sense. Equally pointed anrTintelligent were Col. Roosevelt's remarks on the Monroe doctrine. The United State must let the world know that it will do no injustice to any cutrrrtry and submit to none from any quater. "We do not," he said, "by this doctrine intend to sanction any policy of aggression by one American commonwealth at the expense of any other, nor any policy of commercial dliscrimination against any foreign powerwhatsoever. Commercially, as far as this doctrine is concerned, all we wish is a fair field and no favor, but if we are wise we shall strenuously iusisVthat under no pretext whatsoever shall there be any Territorial aggrandizement on American soil by any European power, and this no matter what form the territorial aggrandizement may take:" This is robust Americanism. It is also intelligent, enlightened Americanism. It means for the United States peace at home and prestige abroad. In proclaiming its hands-off-the American contintent warning to the Holy Alli ance three-quarters of a century ago the United. States not only gave all the people of the Western hemisphere the opportunity to work out their own destiny in their own way, without any interference from without, but by that very act it did more for the cause of universal peace that was ever done by any other nation in the world's history. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Corn Cribbed in 1866. Peru, Ind., Sept. 5 - Lewis Pence, living in the vicinity of Converse, probably has the oldest corn in Indiana. In 1895. after he returned from the battlefields of the South, he built a corn crib having a capacity of 10,000 bushels. In 1866, in this crib, were stored 2,000 bushels of corn, but before the next gathering time the amount dwindled to 200 bushels. Ever since that year Mr. Pence has been storing corn in the same crib, and now it con tains over 6,000 bushels, some of it represented by every year since 1866. The corn grown in 1866 is just as solid as it was when first put away. For a bad taste in the mouth take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. For sale by J. W. Hess.

COLUMBIA CHOSEN Defender of 1899 to Defend ' America's Cup Again. the Newport, R. I , Sept. 6 The yacht Columbia, champion of 1899, has been chosen to race against Shamrock II in defense of the America s cup. .This decision was reached after a conference lasting two hours be tween the members of the challenge committee All members of the committee were present. Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard presided. The discussion was exhaustive. The performances of the two boats were gone over systematically and critically compared. The conclusion was that the behavior of the Columbia was far more consistent than that of Constituticn and that in the circumstances there was no alternative but to name her as the defender. The announcement of the selection of the Columbia was received here with expressions of approval among yachtmen. She has shown herself such a reliable all-around yacht that the decision of the challenge committee is held to be strictly just and impartial. As interested yachtmen view the situation, the Columbia has been tuned up to the point of perfection. Her crew are enthusiastic believers in her capabilities. Their drill and discipline are beyond praise aud nobody who has watched them has any doubt that they will make a gallant defense of the cup. An interesting feature of the affair is the future of the Constitution. August Belmont endured the rejection of the boat of which he is the principal owner with philosophic fortitude. He will keep her in commission so that if any accident should befall the Columbia she would be ready to fill the gap. Mr. Belmont will do all in his power to help the Columbia keep the cup on this side of the Atlantic. He will lengthen her sails, spars or any other that may be needed. England Has Potato Bugs.

BIG HAUL MADE BY TEXAS TRAIN ROBBERS
Texarkana, Texas, Sept. 5 Cotton Belt passenger train No. 1, southbound, due to leave Texarkana at 9:25 o'clock last night, was delayed and did not leave until 11 o'clock. It reached the Texas and Pacific crossing, four miles south of Texarkana, about 11:25 p. m. When it stopped to signal for the crossing six men boarded the train. Two got on the engine and compelled the engineer and fireman to go back and cut the mail and expre-s cars from the train. When this had been done, the six men boarded the engine, left the fire man with the train, and instruct ed the engineer to run to Eylau. a small siding, where a stop was made." While one man guarded the engine five others went to thf express car, forced the doors, and blew open the safe. They took their time at the work, and when they had concluded, r -turned to the locomotive with two sacks heavy with booty. I is said they secured at least $35, 000. Turning to the engineer, one said: "We'll just shellroad you here. You are not the only engineer in this crowd, and I run the machine guess '$e can a few miles without your assistance. When you locate your wagon, figure thv run in on your mileage, as we won't put in time for the run wo make. Putting out the . headlight, the bandit engineer opened the throttle and pulled out. Engin eer Henderson was left with the express and mail cars and the messenger and'postal clerk. He made his way to a section house within a mile or two of the scene, and, procuring a handcar and men to assist in propelling it, started to search for the locomotive . It was slow "work. At a point south of Rowan, within four miles of Red Water, they came upon the deserted engine standing on the main track, throttle closed, lights out and no one in sight. The engine was at the bottom of a grade, and ha$ eitherbeen deserted or had been left at a point further north and was al lowed by its own weight to seek the level trak. Engineer Hen derson got aboard and backed the engine to the express and mail cars. The train was not started until early this morning. Some time after midnight Henderson succeeded in getting his engine and the two cars back to where the first stop was made by the robbers, and the train then proceeded' south to Mount Pleasant, the division point. There a full report was made, and the officials of the company immediately com menced to make preparations to chase the robbers. In the meantime conductor Armstrong and several passengers" had walked back to Texarkana and given the alarm. With- . Jl Al - I ? 1 out ueiay mo snenn organized a posse and started in pursuit, and the conductor returned to his train. The passengers werer not mo lested. While Superintendent Russ of the Pacific Express com pany admits the robbers secured a large sum, he refuses to make a statement. mi i i . xue roooers were men more experienced in railroading than in robbery. They knew the stops of the train and wero prepared for the emergency thus present ed, it was not necessarv for them to flag the engineer when he stopped for the crossing. They were armed, but did not make an unnecessary display of their weapons. All were masked and each wore a coat. The country where the hold-up oc curred is densely wooded, so that the robbers have had an oppor tunity to double on their tracks through the timber and hide tho route they are traveling.

'A Good Beginning Haftes 0 Bad Ending." That saying seems to have been born of the superstition deep rooted in humanity. It is akin to that other saying " He laughs best who laughs last." Perhaps in these and similar sayings there is a survival of the old pagan belief that a display of happiness was likely to incur the envy of the gods and to draw down the visitation of the malice which is twin to envy. It would be a ridiculous proposition to affirm that bad is the necessary outcome of good. But just as many a day which begins with a cloudless sky ends in storm, so many an event in life which promises only happiHess ends in disappointment and misery. This is very true of marriage. The young wife goes heart and soul into home making and housekeeping. She loves to cook and prepare the dainties her husband enjoys. She is so robust and hearty that she can hardly find enough to do to exhaust her abundant energy. That's the way it begins. After a while she finds "that it takes all her strength to care for her home. Then household cares begin to overtax her, and she drops down into a chair many a time and gives way to tears because of her weakness and misery. The sky so cloudless on the morning of marriage has soon become overcast. THE CRITICAI, TIMS in many a woman's life comes just at this period of discouragement and despair. She finds indications of disease of the delicate womanly organs. Her women friends perhaps tell her that the bearing down sensation, the pains in the back and loins indicate disease or displacement. She consults physicians, takes prescribed treatments, all to no avail. And yet this woman's case is curable on the evidence of women who have been cured. Four years ago my health began to fail," writes Mrs. Nellie M. Reycraft, of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon. n I had a heavy dragging and weight in the region of the uterus, pain in back and loins, could not lift anything heavy, rest at night very poor; stomach deranged. One physician said I was overworked, another said I had congestion and falling of uterus. He treated me nine months and said I would not be well until I had passed the change of life. I was only twenty-seven years old then. I became discouraged, and began using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Took a teaspoonful three times a day; began feeling better right away. Am Using my third bottle now, and feel I am in good health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has restored me to health. If suffering women would give it a fair trial they would give it praise." It can truthfully be said that there is harllya form of womanly disease medically curable which will not yield to the faithful use of "Favorite Prescription." More than this, it is a matter of record that many forms of womanly disease pronounced incurable by local physicians have been perfectly and permanently ft

Many medicines offered for women's use are mere palliatives. They numb the nerves and so dull the pain. But they do not re-establish the lost womanly health. "Favorite Prescription "is a purely vegetable preparation. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or any other narcotic. It cannot disagree with the weakest constitution. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. IT IS WOMAN'S WAY to sacrifice herself for her family. Shegoes without the new dress that husband or child may have some coveted pleasure. And for economy's sake she often bears the ills which are undermining her health. It is a false economy. The health of the wife and mother is the most important factor in the home life, and every suffering woman who has been cured by "Favorite Prescription" is a witness to the real economy of this means of. cure. " My health is the best now that it has been for four years," writes Mrs. Phebe Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., N.Y., Box 52. "I have taken but two bottles of your medicine, 'Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' These medicines have done me more good than all that I have ever taken before. I couldn't do my work only about half the time, and now I can vork all the time for a family of four Before I took your medicines I was sick in bed nearly half the time. My advice to all who are troubled with female weakness is to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery' the most wonderful medicines in the world." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are held in sacred confidence and womanly confidences are guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. In a little more than thirty years Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering women. If the dealer offers you a "just as good" medicine in place of "Favorite Prescription " it is because less meritorious medicines pay him a little more profit. His profit is your loss. Insist upon having " Favorite Prescription " the medicine which makes weak women strong and sick women well. THE REASON WHY. Some medical works content themselves by classifying advice under the head of "Do" or "Don't" Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser gives the reason why, for all it enjoins. It is a plain guide to health wrif.en in plain English and dealing with the great problems of physiology and hygiene from the view point of common "sense.
