A large majority of the board of education of Marion county are republicans and they were surprised last Monday when there was not a single applicant for the position of truant officer. The appointment had to be postponed until the next meeting of the board. A good Marshall county democrat might get the office by moving to Marion county. It seemed strange to find a number of prominent democrats here from all parts of the county Monday begging the board of education for the appointment of truant officer for Marshall county. Office holding seems to be a mania when men worth thousands of dollars ask for a position that pays less than that of an ordinary day laborer. J W. Maxey was re-appointed. C. S.

Mrs. Sophia Strohm, of Peru, who

has been visiting the family of S. Benedict in this city, went to RochesterTuesday morning to visit friends. Rev. Reuben Keller, of White rigeon, Mich., preached an excellent sersermon at the M. E. church Sunday. Mr. Keller was president of the St. Joseph classis of the Reformed church during the past year. Last Mondav the Pennsylvania slKjps at Fort Wayne received orders to build twenty-five bunk cars and a kitchen car to be used for construction gangs to live in, and thev were ready for delivery Saturday night. T. J. Juday, president of the Elk hart county Sunday school association, and a teacher of Elkhart county for the past twenty-five years, the past ten years being principal of ward schools in Elkhart, has tendered his resignation to the school board be cause of ill health. Rav Walburn, Ilarrv Fuller. Noble McCrory, Harry Soice and Bert Strunk made up a jolly crown of youths who went to Chicago Sunday morning on the L. E. W. excursion to see the sights and spend the day with their old school mate Romer Jilson now employed in the freight of fices of the P. Ft. W. & C. railroad. The beef trust is beginning to feel the force of public opinion. It feels exceedingly uncomfortable just now, and it would not be at all surprising if a halt were commanded all along the line. The tactics of the beef trust now are to run clown the price of live cattle by refusing to buy and causing a slump in the markets. In its desperation a reduction in the price of all kinds of meat may be ordered any day. Senator Parks has just finished planting 4,000 catalpa trees on his farm near Bourbon. He bought the trees of Marshall county nurseries, prepared the ground well, and set the trees five feet apart. He expects) to have fence posts in ten years. Mr. Parks has been giving much attention to forestry and believes that tree planting would pay many farmers in this county. An examination of the bills filed with the auditor for this term of commissioners' court shows that C. W. Metsker's bill for publishing a list of forty allowances was $2.35. As the law fixes the price at 5 cts. for each allowance, the commissioners figured fortv times five cents are $2.00 instead of $2.35. It seems that the little editor of the Democrat knows as little about arithmetic as most other things that he claims to know. Was he trying to save money for the tax-payers or make money for himself. Miss Geneva McCrory now attending the Valparaiso Normal school has won honors for herself by being declared the best reader of ten girls selected from the reading class. A like honor was won bv Mr. Tavener of Montana from ten boys selected from the same class. A contest between the two winners for supreme honors was twice declared a tie by a vote of 27 to 27. Miss McCrory was also selected to sing the alto part in a quartet at a meeting of the ''Southern Society." Saturday evening the quartet received special training for the occasion bv Prof. Gant of the music department. The Election in Plymouth. The election here Tuesdav was a surprise to many persons in other cities and in other parts of the county as well as to some persons in this city. The democrats have a safe majority in every ward in this city, yet the republican candidate tor mayor carried every ward, and was elected by 53 majority. The result here is attributed to Metsker, the new editor of the Democrat, who commenced abusing Dr. Knott, the republican candidate for mayor, the next day after hisjnomination and kept it up until the polls were closed. - Metsker was also profuse in his praise or" Mayor Jones, and Councilmen Parker and Reynolds. These old councllmen are the most prominent and have, alway been the most popular democrats in the city. The democratic majority in their ward' was equal to the whole number of republican voters in the ward, yet Dr. Reyolds was elected by a bare majority of seven votes and ex-Senator Parker came within 17 votes of being left. Of course the popularity of Messrs. KoonU and South worth was quite a factor in the fight, but prominent democrats are sure that If the editor of the democrat 4had been given two more days to abuse republicans and praise democratic candidates, both Parker and Reynolds would have been defeated. The election of Astley and Logan in the second ward gives the republicans two good men in the council, and the fact that both the republican candidates for council men ran ahead of their ticket in the third ward leaves the republicans of the city In excellent spirits, " Messrs. Barnhill and McGIothlin candidates , for treasurer and clerk received the full republican vote. The republicans of Plymouth, "are all right." The official vote will be found in another column.

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made. The Health Department of New York has seized a quantity of so-called cheap baking powder, which it found in that city. Attention was attracted to it by the losy price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the Health Department reported the stuff to be "an alum powder," which analysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock. The powder was declared to be dangerous to health, ami several thousand pounds were carted to the offal dock and destroyed. It is unsafe to experiment with these so-called "cheap" articles of food. -They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In .baking powders, the high class, cream of tartar, brands are the most economical because they go farther in use; and are healthful beyond question.

Kyle, of the third ward, went to the stable to feed his little dun pony, the animal was no where to be seen, "Bill spent the day traveling over the neighborhood and other neighborhoods inquiring for his pony, even forgetting to tell people that he was a candidate for councilman and would like to have their votes, but nobody had seen the pony. That night he went to bed feeling verv uneasv. When he arose in the morning he went to the stable. The door was shut and no pony was about the lot. But he heard a noise In the stable and on opening the door saw the pony standing in the stall. The neighbors say Kyle has not yet made up his mind whether the pony was hid under the manger or buried in the corn cobs during the day that he spent hunting for it.
