"Jacob Joel, of Crawlordsville, was in town Monday interviewing the dele

gates to the state convention. He is a candidate for state treasurer and has

the indorsement of Montgomery and

manv of the surrounding counties. He

is a plain, common sense, honest ap

peaiing gentleman and if nominated

will no doubt make a good treasurer.

The managers of the St. Louis Exposition are alarmed by the discovery that the act of Congress providing for the exposition prohibits the coming into the United States of any Chinese for any purpose whatever. This provision wouid, of course, prevent an exhibit by the Chinese government. This is only one of many embarrassments that are likely to flow from unreasonably proscriptive legislation

on this subject.

One thousand more clerks will be dismissed from the census office the last of this month. The Indiana sen

ators and representatives have been

looking after the interests of the

clerks whose places they secured, and

have been informed that the selection of those to be retained will be made

entirely upon the merits of the clerk.

This relieves the congressmen of the

responsibility of selecting from a

dozen or more clerks two or three

whom he desires to be retained.

Edward -Thompson, ex-postmaster

of Indianapolis, who has had a stormy career in Cuba, where he went three

years ago reached Indianapolis this morning. He has been postmaster at

Havana, Cuba, has been accused,

thrown into prison, held on the is

land of Cuba to give testimony in the

Neely trial, has been fined for a tech

nical irregularity in the Havana postoffice, has been released and his fine

remitted. Vindication came, but it

came too late.

The census bureau has issued a re

port on sheep and goats on ha. a June 1, 1900, and their wool and hair clip

in the fall of 1899 and spring of 1900.

There were in the United States June 1, 1900. 31,91.29S ewesone year and over; 8,018,275 rams and wethers one

year and over, and 21,668,238 lambs

spriDg of 1900 44,092",948 fleeces, of an aggregate weight of 276,991,812

pounds of unwashed wool. Of goats the census reports a total of all agos of 1,871,252, of which Texas contains

the largest number, an aggregate

exceeding one-third of all in theUnited

States.

NOT ALL NEGROES.

Referring to the speeches of two

prominent democrats of Indianapolis,

Frank- Burke and Henry N. Spaan,

denouncing colored men in unmeasured

terms, the Indianapolis News says:

And their objection to the negro

seems to be that he is politically corruptthat his vote can.be bought.

This charge coming from white men

is cynically cruel. Who was it that taught the negro the money value of

his vote? To whom does he owe his

education in the vile arts of political corruption? With whose money has he been bought? Poor, ignorant, feeling in many cases his inferiority to the whites,' seeing his supposed superiors buying and selling votes among themselves, what wonder is It that the negro came to the conclusion that he too would be justified in making money out of his vote? Moreover, the men that have been bought in Indiana in the corrupt campaigns of past years have not all been negroes we doubt whether they have been chiefly negroes. So if it it proposed to drive all vote sellers and vote-buyers out of the democratic party, our friends can not consistently stop with the negroes.

It strikes some people as queer that

the party that tried to perpetuate

human slavery in theUnited States and still refuses the colored man the ballot should be so extremely sentimental about the Boers and Filipinos.

Professor Hatfield, of the Northwestern university, says that Evanston has vulgar standards of life, and that the people of that classic suburb have more real admiration for a BradleyMartin dinner or a Vanderbilt ball than for genius. 1 '

The worst charge that Bourbon democrats of Indianapolis bring against the entire negro race is that some of them sell their votes. It might be asked who buys them, and is not the man who buys a vote as bad as he who sells it?

The immense wheat crop of last fall

in northwestern Canada is proving be

yond the ability of elevators and rail roads to handle it. ' The surplus ex

portable product of the two provinces

of Manitoba and Assiniboia is esti

mated at fifty million bushels, and it is selling in Liverpool at a price that

threatens to cripple the American wheat and flour export trade.

We can produce more meat than we

can consume, but have never raised one-seventh of the sugar we eat. Probably Germany can never raise the meat it needs, and, judging from the past, we shall never produce a large part of the sugar we need. Under these conditions would it not be well for us to cut our duties to Germany for sugar and get a cut which would would give us Germany's meat market. Indianapolis Journal.

The first annual encampment of the Service Men of the Spanish War will be held .t Springfield, 111., on April 2 and 3. The organization is composed of officers and men who served in the war with .?pain, and is Intended to fill the place of the Grand Army of the Republic among civil war veterans. Among the charter members of the first camp formed are President Roosevelt, Major Generals Otis, Wilson, Wheeler. Fitzhugh Lee, Funston,

Fred Grant and others. Camps have

been formed all over the country and In our new possessions.

President Roosevelt is finding it

difficult to get a first assistant post

master-general that suits him. The men he wants will not have the office, and he will not have the men who want the office.

The sentence of Neely, Reeves and Rathbone meets with general approval, but some of the papers that were loudest in denunciation of the steal and declared that the republican party would never allow the thieves convicted, now complain that the sentence is too severe. But it is to be hoped that the supreme conrt will not set aside the verdict ; These men are scoundrels who deliberately set about to plunder the government while they were receiving salaries larger than they deserved, and they should be punished so severely that other government employes will take warning.

According to a statement just issued by the, civil service commission, the District of Columbia gets much more than its share of the appointments in the government departments. The law requires that the places be apportioned to the states and territories according to the population. But it would appear that the closer the state or territory the better the chance of its citizen for a job. The district is

credited with 511 appointments,

though entitled to but 28; Maryland is entitled to 119, but has 241; Illinois is entitled to 482, but has only 361; Minnesota is entitled to 175. but has

only 110; California is entitled to 148, and has but 109 and Indiana has forty less than its share.

It vi ill not be long until the demo

cratic party will be the champion of a

high protective tariff. Where South Carolina leads democrats follow an 3

South Carolina proposes to raise tea

and wants a protective tariff.

All the circumstances of the Inter

view that has just been held between

the Boer leaders and Lord Kitchener indicate that it had an important purpose. If not the opening of peace

negotiatious it was probably a pre liminary step in that direction.

John II. Baker will offer his resigna

tion as judge of the federal court at Indianapolis at the close of the May

term. Judgs Baker, announced when

his son, Francis E. Baker was appointed judge of the United States court,

that he would retire at the end of this

term, and he always does what he

promises.

It is believed at Muncie that while

Neeley's relatives are poor, he has

money enough to pay his fine if he

chouses to do so. If he got over a hun

dred thousand dollars besides his salary

while he was in CJba, as tue books

show be did, he ought to have money

enough left to pay a fine of $56,000.

Senator Fairbanks will be practically

in charge of the Chinese exclusion bill during its consideration in the senate. He is the second member of the committee on immigration and it is probable that Senator Penrose, chairman, will not be able to be in Washington during the consideration of the measure. The senator from Indiana will present the bill in a speech showing the necessity for continuing to exclude the Chinese.

The sentiment against gambling is

growing constantly. A bill introduced in the Ohio legislature by Representa

tive Earhart, of Richland county,aims

a severe blow at gambling rooms, slot machines, and other gambling de

vices. It provides a penalty of from

$100 to $500 fine or from ten to ninety

days' imprisonment, or both for any

person who sets up or keeps or permits to be kept any slot machine, or permits to be played any game of faro,

roulette, equality, keno, slot machine

or any other gaming device of any

pattern, or who displays any obscene, indecent or lascivious pictures. It

also provides that the possession of a slot machine, or gambling pharaphernalia, shall be prima facie evidence

against the person, and makes real estate or other property owned by the person a lien for any judgment render

ed against him.

To The Sunday Schools.

Fellow Workers: I congratulate

the many Sunday school workers of

Marshall county upon the splendid

convention and institute just closed,

and keeping the Sunday schools of Marshall county in advance with the

tide of progress shown In other coun

ties of this state. We invited the Field Workers Congress to Plymouth

because we wanted the inspiration

that the many efficient workers would necessarily bring. We needed to be

aroused to a nobler endeavor and to greater efforts. Many of us are apt

to fall into the habit of taking our

ease, and this applies to religious mat

ters as well as to every day methods

of business, and we find it quite easy

to form these habits but more diffl cult to break them. I ence heard it said that a celebra

ted actor kept a man concealed behind

the screens to kick him just before he went upon the stage In order that he

might be stirred up to his best efforts

The Field Workers' Congress has had

the effect to stir us to better efforts,

not that our religious people are not

the best in the world, nor that our

Sunday schools are not among the best in the state, but there are not many of us ready to hold up our hands

and say before God. "I have done my best." What we' need in the Sunday school is every man in his place, and every man doing his duty faithfully. We are glad to have the first Field

Workers' Congress of Northern In

diana in our county. It has a tednency

to lead us to a higher life, teach us to

be more devoted to the Sunday school,

and give us a better knowledge ot

of what to teach and how to teach it.

It was a joy to greet our visiting

friends and welcome them to our city.

our churches and our . homes, and to

assure them by many acts ol kindness that Plymouth's welcome bubbled up

like pure fresh water from the hillside

and was seen in the indelible counte nance of Its people.

Manifestly the Sunday school, what

ever It may have been in the past, is no longer a a unorganized assembly of

a children's hour, but is a multiform

organic power, solicitous for the moral

and spiritual elevation of the individ

ual, the family, the church, society and state. The Sunday school associations of the world are putting men' and women In the field, the best educated md of the greatest experience who

give their whole time to convention and institute work, establishing schools and unions for the better preparation of teachers, and by means of the hundreds of normal courses and institutes thousands of trained teacher?; are taking their places In the Sunday-school. It may be interesting to know that there are enrolled in the Sundav schools of the United States nearly 14,000,000 and that a World's association and international, state, county and township institutes are annually held. They are strong, factors for education and training. , More than 8,000 institutes were held

in Indiana alone in the past ten years and more than one hundred and fifty

in Marshall county, one or more within easy reach of every Sunday school worker, where he might receive in

spiration to faithfulness and knowledge of the highest ideals, and the best methods of furthering God's work through the Sunday school. There are schools for ttie training of Sunday school teachers in thirty-six states. The greatest bible school in the world is held each summer in the adjoining county, the eighth annual session of this conference will be held this year August 1727. The Wiaona bible conference was held seven years ago with twenty-five members. It has steadily increased until last year it had in attendance more than 1000

ministers and 1500 layman, and this year a much larger attendance is probable. In addition to the bible insti

tute the Sunday school association is

arranging with the managers of

Winona, to have from two to four

normal lessons each week during the

entire Winona assembly, and arrange ments are being made with Prof. II

M. Hamil, the world's greatest normal teacher to take chanre of the

work.

There are enrolled in the Sundav

schools of Indiana 334,000 persons

There were enrolled in the Sundav schools of Marshall county in 188,

4,813; and in 1893, 6,455; in 1901,

7,655; showing a gain in the county in

eleven years of 2,842.

But growth in numercial strength has not alone been the supreme

thought of Sunday school work. A systematic study of the bible has been

brought about by the internationa

lesson, while the normal work of the association has developed the power

and thought of the lessons, so that there has never been, in all the history

of Sunday schools, such thorough,

forceful, analytical, and spiritual ap

plication of the lessons as there are to

day. There has never been a time

in the history of bible teaching when Christ as the central figure of all the

lessons has been held out so prominent

ly as in Sunday school lesson? of today.

The best thought of the finest minds

are now being directed along: these

lines as never before. The Sunday

school looks confidently upon his advanced system of the work as a strong

leverage to future usefulness.

The friends and associations 1 have made while in this work will ever be esteemed and held in kindest remembrance. And I shall refer to my ser

vice as county president as being

among the most t pleasurable years of my life. I shall hope to give to the work so much of my time as business

will permit; u and I bespeak for my successor, the Rev. Mr. Crews, the

greatest success. JonN W. Parks.

Old Fishermen Smile.

A few weeks ago it was announced

that Fish Commissioner Sweeney

would inaugurate a war of extermina

tion of worthless fish in the lakes of

this part of the state. For the pur

pose it was reported that Mr. Sweeny

would use a seine 1,000 feet in length,

and with a larsre force of men will

seine the lakes of Northern Indiana.

All the dog-fish, gar, carp, and tur

ties brought out in the seine will be

destroyed, while the bass, pickerel,

pike, perch and other species of food fish will be restored to the water. It is said this wojk will be under the personal supervision of Commissioner

Sweeny and that his 'war of extermi

nation of worthless families of the finny tribe will begin within a few

days. Old men who have had exper

ience with the net in the lakes in this vicinity, state that the pulling of a

thc:sand-foot seine iS a herculean

task. In fact they smile at the idea

of it. A Rochester Story.

One of Rochester's clever citizens tells a funny story on a C. & E. passenger conductor. A colored man, ac

companied by his wife and baby boy

came up from Peru and took an after

noon train for Chicago. When the

colored people entered the passenger

coach the young coon set up a terrible squall and kept up the racket until the husband requested the wife and mother to let the baby nurse. She attempted to do so but the obstreper-

ons kid would not accept the profered

feast. Just at this moment the con

ductor came in to collect fare, and the mother said in an emphatic manner.

"Now you take it or I will give it to

the conductor. The conductor looked

at the luscious protuberance and then at the face of the devoted mother and

smiled, while the brakeman joined In

a general roar.

1 - Aged Woman Routs Robber. Mrs. Frances Shafer, seventy-three

years old, frightened away a burglar

who attempted to gain an entrance to

her home at El wood, Ind., just before midnight. She heard a noise at a

door and later at a window, and open

ing the blind, saw a man's face press

ed against the pane: She was alone

in the house, but not the least fright

ened. Going to a bureau drawer she procured a revolver, threw the. win

dow up and fired two shots at the

man, who promptly took flight. The

old lady's friends congratulated heron her nerve.

Mrs. Elizabeth Louise Dunlap was the daughter of David and Mary Williams, the seventh of a family of ten children, three brothers and seven sisters. She was born at Lanlenthie near Swansea InSouth Wales, Oct. 27, 1825. In 1834 she came with her parents to America and settled at Port Byron, Cayuga county, N. Y., where she grew up to womanhood. Here she received an academic education, which became the foundation for a more liberal education in after life. At the age of twenty-two she left her home in New York came to Chicago and was married to Mr. Levi De Steese March 7, 1847. To this marriage were born three children, one son and two daughters. William De Steese,of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is the only surviving child. Th daughters, Mrs. Mary Kingsbury and Mrs. Florence Covert-Miller both grew to womanhood in Plymouth and were well known and highly esteemed by all. Mrs. Kingsbury died and was buried at Iowa City, Iowa, in Jan. 1900, and Mrs. Miller died in Chicago and was buried at Plymouth in April of the same year. Mr. De Steese died in Chicago and a few years later his widov married Dr. George W. Cooper, came to Plymouth with her husband and daughters and began the practice of medicine in 1868 having graduated from a homeopathic medical school in Chicago in 1S67. After the death of Dr. Cooper deceased married Dr. W. J. Dunlap in 1877 who died in 1880. With the exception of two short intervals Mrs. Dunlap spent the last thirty-four years of her life in this city where she enjoyed a good practice and von to her a large circle of friends. She was a woman of high honor, kindly spirit and- genuine culture. She loved her books until the very last. In early life she united with theBaptist church, but upon coming to Plymouth and finding no Baptist church she united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which sha remained a faithful and

consistent member until her death,

imnng ner long illness she was tenderly cared for by her grand-daugh

ter, Miss Edith Covert, who has made

her home with her since the death of

her mother about two vears ago. She leaves of her immediate relatives one sister, one son and three grand chil

dren. The last fifteen months of Dr. Dun

lap's life were months of intense suf

fering, but through it all she was

graciously sustained in a happy state of mind, and passed peacefully to her

reward Friday March the 21st, 1902. Funeral services were held at the

M. E. church Sunday afternoon con

ducted by Rev. W. E. McKenzie.

The house was crowded with friends who came to pay a last tribute to one

who was respected by all who knew her. Senators Are Good friends. A good deal of surprise is expressed that newspapers in some parts of the country should be printing stories that there is a quarrel between Indiana's senators over the championship of the state convention. As a matter of fact, neither senator has sought the place, and neither cares for it Sev

Chester DuComb, who was accidentally

shot while out duck hunting, Saturday, was, amputated between the

wrist and elbow, Dr. Hansell, assisted

by Drs. Daughterty and John Moore doing the work. The shot in the leg

created merely a flesh wound, but the

wrist bone and arteries of the right

arm was broken and mutilated to such

an extent that amputation was necessary. The young man withstood the shock remarkably well and will re
