As this is comparatively an off year in Ohio, John R. McLean & giving Toru Johnson a good deal of rope. When McLean opens his bar'l in serious rivalry, Mr. Johnson will have a dizzy sensation. . -' ; The fact that anthracite coal is being imported from Europe by the big dealers in New York will go far towards settling the strike in this country and reducing the retail price of the article. The Washington Tost .n independent democratic paper savs that Tom L. Johnson met about as much opposition iu the Ohio convention as a man usually does when he is called to shave a corpse. The President has been in Maine lately and by his presence. and his utterances drew especial attention to his position. The approving response of the people of Maine is shown; in republican pluralities double those usually secured in an off-year" election. Maine gave a republican majority ot 27,000 Monday. All of the republican candidate for congress were elected. The democrats elected one member of the state serate and about one-fifth of the lower house of the legislature. The republicans elected twenty-nine of the thirtv state senators. The people of the United States are essentially a reading nation. There are reported by the census 18,226 newspapers and periodicals of all kinds in the United States, an in crease of 22.3 per cent from the cen sus of 18'JO. Of these 2.226 are dailies; 12.970 weeklies, and 1.817 monthlies. A new trust that promises to be most dangerous to corporations has just come to light in St. Louis. Vhen legislators combine and put up the price of their votes, anyone can see how menacing the trust principle becomes. Legislators should be left free to dl viele territory and sell votes on their own terms. The United States embassy at Lon don has issued another circular warn ing Americans against having anything to c.o with alleged family es tates or money in the Bank of Eng land awaiting American claimants, as all such publications are apt to be fraudulent. Yet gullible people will continue to be fooled by the same old storv. The refusal of the Wisconsin dem- ( crats to indorse Bryanism merely re tiects the general discord and demoralization in their nirty 'throughout the country. Ohio's democrats say they are just as orthodox as arev those of any other state, and they have just indorsed the Kansas City platform and have praised the candidate who stood upon it. The democracy is a house divided against itself, and must be prepared for the fate which that conditi n usually brings. The Cincinnati Enquirer will have its quiet fun with Mr. Tom Johnson. It has a bit of it when it says "the democrats of Wisconsin and Iowa held conventions the same day of the meeting in Sandusky." Again, evidently to show that Mayor Tom employs a valet, it says that the public criticism because' the valet rode with himln his automobile is far-fetched since "it would have been a cruelty out of keeping with the 'humanitarian character of the mayor' to require the valet to'walk." "Optimism is fashionable. This is one of the best possible fashions that can be introduced. To practice it one must say all the good possible to and of relatives, friends and enemies. Broid compliments must be received, as a part of the game, with as much gusto and appreciation as 'one can summon. Even truth must be sacrificed in this effort to be optimistic. The fad may have its good points, but "to be too enthusiastic over everything may lead to a thread of insincerity, either in one's' self or in the opinion . of others. President Roosevelt 's comparison of trusts to the Mississippi river was original, striking and instructive. The great river can be to some extent regulated and controlled, hut it cannot be dammed or stopped." A flood comes down the Mississippi river," said the President. "You cannot stop it. You can guide between levees, so as to prevent its doing injury, so as to' insure; its doing good. . So you cannot put a top to or reverse the industrial tendencies of the age. You can control and regulate them so that they will do no harm. .

LOUR CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE y James II. Bibler, who was nomina

ted Tuesday by acclamation for judge of the Forty-first judicial circuit, be gan the practice of law in Rochester twenty years ago, has remained there ever since, and has won a place among the foremost lawyers of the district. He" is a man of the people, and . if elected will be the tool of no party or clique. He is in the prime of life and was a good lawyer ten years before his opponent was admitted to the bar. " The Age of Steel argues that the anthracite coal roads do not naye a monopoly because there is anthracite in the Rocky mountains. It appears from reports that there are 12.000 acres of good anthracite coal in the Yampa district in Colorado. " It is estimated to represent 17,524,000 tons. But so far as the East is concerned this coal might as well-be in Europe. Republican Judicial Convention. The republicans of Marshall and Fulton counties met in the republican club room, in this city, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of nominating candidates for judge and prosecuting attorney of the Forty-tirst judicial district. Both counties were fully represented and many prominent republicans were present. W. II. Stacy, of Fulton county, was chosen chairman of the convention, with W. G. Hendricks, of the Plym outh Tribune, and Albert W. Bitters,. of the Rochester Republican, as secretaries. non. John W. Farks was made chairman of the Marshall delegation, and Mr Walker chairman of the Fulton delegation.' The committee on rules, of which Hon. R. C. Stephenson was chairman, reported that no nominating speeches should be mr.de. When the counties were called Fulto presented the name of James Henry Bibler as its candidate for judga, and Marshall county having no candidate, Mr. Bibler was nominated bv acclamation. The counties were then called for the nomination of a candidate for prosecuting attorney. F. M. Pickerel, of Argos, presented the name of Charles C. Campbell, of Fulton county and there being no other candidate he was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Bibler was then called to the platform. He thanked the convention for the nomiatnion and if elected he would discharge the duties of the office of judge without favor or partiality and as a judge would know no party, and have no enemies to punish or friends to reward. Speeches were made by II. G. Thayer, R. C. Stephenson, Hon. John W. Parks and others, after which the convention adjourned. Senator Beveridge Coming. Senator Beveridge has been "roughing it" during the summer in a little log'caWn, far up in the Sierras in California. He has been living in true wild Western style, wearing slouch hat and blue flannel shirt The senator, however has not spen all his time enjoying the mountain scenery, as he has been preparing his .speeches for the fall campaign. He has started East, but before returning to Indiana he will make three speeches in the West, opening the campaigns in as many states Utah, atOgden, September 11; California, at San Francisco, September 15, and Colorado, at Denver. September 18. He then will come directly to South Bend for his first engagement. The state committee, in whose hands he placed himself at his departure for the West, has arranged a schedule of about five speeches a week for him, to extend until election day. To Test the Townshtp Reform Law. A transcript was filed in the supreme court Tuesday by R. W. Mc Bride in an appeal from- Hendricks county, testing the township reform law. to determine whether the school township is subject to the authority of the township advisory board." The township trustee of Lincoln township, nendricks county, bought $575 worth of school furniture from the American School-furniture company without the advisory board having first appropriated the money. The successor to the trustee that bought the furniture refused payment on that ground and the furniture company brought suit. Judge Cofer held that the school township is not controlled by the township advisory board, which only controls the civil township. Teller May Lose His Power. ,- Senator Teller's power may be brought to an end in Colorado as the result ot the action of Denver democrats and the Gilpin county republicans. The democrats Refused to hear the senator after having invited him to spe-ek Saturday night.' "At the same time the republicans of Teller's borne county adopted a resolution saying: - ; . "His unfairness is so manifest that the people of the state will repudiate him for his '"unfalthf UP conduct and m place him with those who have proved themselves more eager for pelf and power than for the furtherance of political and personal convictions."

' The Voice' of Maine.' The latest returns from the Maine election Indicate a republican plural

ity of 29,000, against 24,759 in the "off year" election of 1898, and of 34,000 in the September election of 1900. It is the largest "off year" republican plurality ever scored In . Maine with the exception of the year of the tariff deluge of 1894. The result is significant because the democratic managers made a special effort to get out a full democratic vote, a greater effort, in fact, than they have made since 1&92L. The platform, was "framed to catch both Bryan andanti-Bryan democrats. An allaged anti-Bryan democrat was put at the head of the ticket, who went through the state with Mr. Bry an. Hon. Bourke Cock ran made sev eral speeches in the state, and several sound-monev democrats from Massachusetts, and even, democrats from democratic states like Hon; Champ Clark, of Missouri,' were in Maine to encourage the democracy and assail the republicans. Large audiences led the democratic managers to believe they would cut down the republican plurality and the chairman of the democratic state committee Saturday night telegraphed that the republican majority would not be more than 10,000. Many democrats arc noting the republican ticket this year. A "Dead Man" Wanti to Marry. - An interesting story is being told of "Jim" Younger, according to the Kansas City Journal. It is said that when the bandit was sick In the Minnesota penitentiary a daughter'of one of the deputy wardens prepared . delicacies for him", "Jim" fell In love with her, and when be was paroled secured her consent to marry him. Her parents at first objected, but at last yielded. When "Jim'' went to get a license, however, the official to whom he applied told him that in the eyes of the law he was a dead man. and that he couldn't issue a license to a corpse. "Jim" can be legally re stored to lite only by a pardon, and past experience teaches him that this is a difficult thing to get. It looks, therefore, as though he and his sweet heart will have to forego the felicities of matrimony. A southern Missouri paper inquires what would be done with a man who should kill Younger. "In vthe eyes of the. law he is dead," he reasons. "It would be absurd to try a man for killing another man who is already dead.". Perhaps the murderer would be technically a ghoul and would be prosecuted for grave robbery. The fine logic of the law leaas to strange conclusions some times. Dethroned His Reason. - Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 9k Wil liam Slago was at the throttle of the Pennsylvania, railroad locomotive which last week struck. a little girl named Kline in Maishall county. Slaeo left his run at Fort Wayne, tut had no sooner reached his home, where he was greeted by his own daughter, about the age of the Kline child, than he began to develop symptoms of de mentia. His Insanitv became ot such an alarming type that it was found necessary to take him from his family and he is how hopelessly insane.. ! S:?.go has become the victim of the delusion that his own daughter was the victim and that her body has been carried to the graveyard. Physicians say that the impression made on his mind by the mangling of the child's body dethroned his reason. He was one of the best known passenger engi neers in the service of the Pennsyl vania. Fifty-First Annual Conference. The'first service of the fifty-first annual M. E. conference will be held at Rensselaer this evening. It was the conference sermonj by Rev. J. . Greene, of Terre Haute. The wel come address was made bv Judge S. P. Thompson, of Rensselaer, response by Presidijg Elder Schell, of Crawfordsville.: The real workof the conference began Wednesday morning. Many eminent ministers and educators from other states will be present. Rev. Dr. Beck, presiding elder of the Valparaiso district and former presiding elder here, will retire from active work and reside In South Bend. Rev. S. P. Colvin, a former Plymouth pastor, is the oldest active-minister in the conference. He Is still vigorous and has been one of the most active and influential men In the conference. He is one of the best ecclesiastical lawyers in methodism. ' ; Rev. W. E. McKenzie left for conference, with his salary paid in full and about $300 for the benevolent societies of the church. St Joseph also Hustling. Congressman Hamilton, of Niles, has succeeded in inducing the naval station commission to promise to visit St. Joseph on its forthcoming visit when Micaiean City 's prospective sites are to be viewed, and the St. Joseph papers are urging their people to activity m the matter. It will be well for Michigan City to keep Its eyes on St. Joseph, " for the people over there possess hustling qualities, and now that they are alive to the situation they may be depended upon to make the best possible endeavor for the naval training station; '

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE

It Has Lasted Over Seventeen Weeks and the Loss Is $100,000,000. The great anthracite coal strike in Pennsylvania rounded out its seventeenth week last Saturday with an approximate loss Gf $100,000,000 to those concerned. According to an es timate based on figures obtained at the. national headquarters of Mine Workers the loss is that much at least, and is probably even greater. The strike began May 12. It may be prolonged indefinitely unless there is legislative interference. The miners are sustained with a stream of erold and silver that flows into the head quarters one day and out the next for the defense of the strikers. Under these circumstances the miners can hold out as well as the operators. The story of the "hundred million loss" can be obtained from the following- figures:Length of strike 17 weeks. Number of miners involved, 147,000. Average weekly wages of a miner, $7. Average weekly output of mines, 1,250,000 tons. Normal market price of anthracite, $4.50 a ton. Normal cost of production, $1.50 a a ton. . It operated, the mines would have produced, approximately, 21,250,000 tons in the period covered by, the strike. At $4.50 a ton the market value of the coal would have been $S3. 625,000. The total weekly wages of the strikers is approximately, $1.029,000. In seventeen weeks the miners would have earned $17,493,000. The total cost of producing the coal ready for the market would have been 31,875,000. This, taken from $93,625,000 the market value -would leave $63,750.000 for the operators. From this, however, must be taken the cost of transportation of the coal from the mines to the markets to get the loss of the operators as operators as four railroads practically control the entire production of the region. The loss to the business men of the district is approximately $14,000,000, on the basis that the strikers would hae spent three-fourths of their weekly wages for the actual necessities Of life". The loss to the mining propert3; from idleness, according to estimates sent out- from the anthracite region will be more than $6,000,000. The operators have spent nearly $1,000,000 in policing their property and importing non-union men,, while the State of Pennsylvania has spent more than $300,000 keeping troops in the field. . Presbytery at Michigan City. The Lögansport Presbytery will hold its fall session today and Wednesday t Michigan City. Representatives of the ministry and laity of all the Presbyterian churches of th2 state will be in attendance. Lojransport presbytery includes the churches of South Bend, Plymouth. Logansport, Monticello, Rensselaer, Crown Point Valparaiso and Laporte, embracing 41 churches with 34 ministers. The aggregate membership for the present year is 5,245, there having been G14 additions to the rolls since the last report.- The benevolent contributions include $2,400 to home missions, $1,G64 to foreign missions, $1,054 toward the sustaining of the weaker churches of the presbytery and synod and $55,000 for local support. Wants the Golden Egg. The president entertains sensible views on the trust question. He does not believe in killing the goose that lays the golden egg of prosperity. Hear him: - "Those men who advocate wild and foolish remedies which would be worse than the disease,' are doing all in their .power to perpetuate the evils against which they nominally war, because if we are brought face to face with the naked issue of either keeping or totally destroying a prosperity in which. the majority share, but in which some share improperly, vhy, as sensible men, we must decide that it is a great deal better that .some people prosper too much than that' no one should prosper enough. So that the" man, who advocates destroying the trusts by mea:ures which would paralyze the industries cf the country, is a quack and at worst an enemy to the republic." Deacons Were Provided For. . At an Episcopal churc'a function in which Bishop Potter recently took part several deacons happened to be present. One of them called the bishop's attention to that passage in the liturgy which reads: "O, all. ye priests of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, !' and complained that there was. "no' "mention of us deacons. " . "Yes, indeed, there, is," rsplied the bishop; "don't you remember, "O, all ye green things upon the earth, J bless ye the Lord. Brooklyn Eagle. Restores - vim, vigor, mental and physical power, fills' your body .with warn, tingling life.' That's what Rocky M ountaln Tea does. 35c. -

A Trip to -Goshen and Nappanee. Ed. Tribune: Thinking It might be of interest to some of your many readers, I will try to give a glimpse through my pen point of what I sawin a 1 rip completed Thursday overland to Goshen via Nappanee, Ayr, Foraker and Waterford, returning via Elkhart and South Bend. My wife accompanied me and we went by the zigzag route, starting east, skirting the north part of the reclaimed swamp lands in Bourbon township; tine farms, too, they are beginning to te. Thence north and east through as fine a farming com.nunity as there is in northern Indiana. As we traveled along we pondered on the quantity of luck there is in the vigorous use of an active brain and strong right arm. It is so easy to select, from appearances of the houses and their surroundings, those who trust all to the proverbial luck, from those who lend a hand to aid luck. In some parts of the route there was a noticeable lack of shade trees and I thought of the many tine shaders slashed unmercifullv a few vears ago by telephone line men who abused the privileges given them. In Nappanee we had a pleasant few minutes' visit with old friends, Samuel Craige and Samuel Fravert, and was an hour too late to see a brisk tire that destroyed a good dwelling. At Goshen we found many changes, and but few of those with whom we were acquainted, since it was an even thirty-two years today since we first arrived in Plymouth. By the way, I met your friend Mr. Dooley driving on the boulevaid in Nappanee, and he said, putting out his hand, "Glad to see ye, bye; how's Plymouth?" I said, "Shut your eyes and you can draw a correct likeness." Said he: "How's politics?" and I said, "Like the politicians quiet." He seemed disinclined to talk much, but I thought to stir him up, and said: "You was a sure Kellison man in the judicial flgbt, Mr. Dooley." He gave me a look that spoke volumes and replied, "1 was that! I was anything to bate Martindale." I said,' "Well, Mr. Kellison is a nice man: "Yis," said he, "Mr. Killison is a foine mon, but he do be naadin' a wabito'fixin' about the head." I asked him, "What's wrong with Martindale?" and he said: "It sames to be. the stoomic .of the mon that's wrong; but then he do be givin' it stuff all the time to fix it.." I asked if he thought Wolford and his gang could pull the young man through that they nominated. He gave me a look showing his contempt, and said; "The pinilthery goslin. Wuddent he look foine sittin opp in fhrunt talkin an' tellin' the law to the loikes o' Jopdge McLarin an' Killison an' Connor, an' the rist?'' I was in a hurry, and asked him what he was doing here in Nap, and he said he was "worrukin". "I'm. on - the.boord of trade most of the toime. " I smiled and he said, "Shoore lam paintin'the rufe!" On our return trip we were royally entertained : hy the.. "South Bend .Spring-wagon and Carriage company," of whom we purchased a wagon for use In the mail service. We attended the Elks' carnival in the evening and pronounced It good: It took us' back to the scenes in the streets af Cairo at the Chicago world's fair, to hear the girls scream as they rode the great swaying camels. There are many delights in traveling, and overland beats them all; but there's no place Uk'e home. Blushes Over Her "Smallest" It happened . on a West Madison street car.. She was a slight, delicate young mother guarding her very tiny babe, which she held in her arms with great care, as with some difficulty she stepped on to the car. Seating herself her Srst care was for her little one. Immediately approaching her, the conductor, waited for her fare. She with some difficulty produced a $5 bill from her purse and ; reached it with her free hand across the babe.' The conductor did not at first take It, but nodding toward it asked gruffly: ".Isthat the smallest you've got?' Tbd likle mother blushed a deep scarlet, stammered a moment, and replied. A Why I've only been married a year." Chicago Record.. i
