Plymouth, Ind., October 30, 1902. In a short time the country will have definite figures on how many votes can be cast by a party without an issue. . The secretary or the national prohibition committee says the party is out to win. It will still be that way after tLe election. General Corum says .Major General D. ß. M. Young- will be the next lieutenant general of the army upon trie retirement of General Miles next August. Minister Wu Ting Fang has received edict of the emperor directing hiiu to return to China as soon as possible, and appointing him a minister of commerce. Mr. Cleveland still insists that the tariu is the paramount issue in politic, but Mr. Clevtlacd has suffered b f-re fr.m cenfus-ing the has been with the is. As one result .of ;tfce financial management of the republican party the aunual interest on the national debt is $-),000,ouo less,, than it was before tlie war with Spaing notwithstanding the issue of a war loan of $200,000,ooo. The strike arbitratiou committee held its first session at Washington Monday, having btfore it John Mitchell and a lull representation of operators. The committee arranged preliminaries for investigation and decided to begin personal inquiry as to conditions in coal fields at Scranton Thursdav. Foster Groves, our candidate for county clerk may not be known to all the voters in Marshall county, but the hundreds of men who are well acquainted with him will vouch for his integrity and ability. He is in every respect qualified for clerk and is in every way deserving of the support of voters of all parties. Every man who goes to the legislature in Indiana should actively interest himself in laws that will tend to preserve the remaining woodlands of the state and lo encourage the planting of trees and the growth of forests. Forest lands can be made to pay a good yearly profit without injury to themselves, but l is to benefit future generations that their development calls for the loudest. "When you gc to the polls next Tuesday recollect that Peter Burgener, republican candidate for county auditor, is one of the best men in Marshall county. He speaks German as fluently as he does English and is in every way qualified for the office of county auditor. There are scores of good reasons why Marshall county should have a republican auditor; think of tr.em before you vote. Mayor Jones of Toledo in an address on Sunday classed -President Roosevelt's settlement of the anthracite coal strike with the signing of the emancipation proclamation by President Lincoln. lie said further that "in bringing about the settlement of the strike Theodore Roosevelt became a man." This.? is j high praise, and the natural inference is that a president who through his actions becomes more than president is a good enough president for any body. . Predictions ol .pe political status of the next congress aro now bdng made. There isxfo doubt among republican leaders that there will be a substantial republican majority in the next bouse to give President Koosevelt the undivided support of congress to the end of his first term. Chairman Babcock, who has bad direct charge of the republican congressional campaign, says the republicans will carry the next house by a larger majority than they ütd in 1898, the last "off year' election. In Indiana the republicans claim nine districts, concede three to the democrats, and regard one as doubtful. A non-union miner was married Saturday at Shenandoah under the protection of a military guard, and during the wedding festivities that followed it was neces&arty to surround the house with soldiers, No carriages .were obtainable for the wedding party because the livery men of the town refused to hire their vehicles to a nonunionist. It is such things that make the true fiicnd jof labor grieve; that frequently make public sympathy a doubtful quantity at the beginning of a strike, and sometimes lose it altogether during the progress of the contest; that add more strength to employers in their contest with labor than all the combinations that capital lias ever forcX J

W. II. Ilawkinsf, late secretary of the democratic state committee, has

sued the committee for $869 back salary. The suit has caused quite a flurry among the faithful at Indiana pol is. President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, has been studying the almost total absence of insanity among negroes. He believes it is because, being newer to civilization, the race has not run through so many di f ferent and crucial experiences as the white race. What is true with the individual's business should be true where the tax payers' business is concerned. They will secure business managers, that is county commissioners and other officials by going to the polls and engaging them by a ballot. Is it not wise to engage only the best men available? Vote the republican ticket next Tuesday. Prof. Ira Howerth, of the University of Chicago, told an audience the other day that woman was yet in subjection, a slave to man, and that it behooved man, if he would be himself elevated, to emancipate her without loss of time. The professor m?y now regard himself as an acceptab'e presidential candidate for the woman's party. In the isthmian canal negotiation the Colombian government seems to have imitated the example of real estate owners who Increase their ask ing price according to the supposed anxiety of the bidder to purchase. As the prospect for the construction of the canal improves Colombia suddenly discovers that she did not ask nearly enough for concessions. More than fifty girls are studying scientific farming in the Minneapolis college of agriculture, The course they take Includes botany, chemistry, physics and geology, requiring in the first two years two terms of each. They pay special attention to cooking, laundering, household economics, furnishing houses and social culture. They learn to plan buildings and to lay out grounds. By this means it is hoped that farmers can be provided with wives who will know enough about making life in the country at tractive to keep the boys from emicrr:tmr tn thp towns and Htips. A statement recently issued by the register of the treasury discloses some interesting facts regarding the hold ings of United States bonds. There have been times in our history when government loans had to be negotiated abroad and when our outstanding bonds where held largely by foreigners. It is not so now. Out of a total of $782,924,330 registered bonds only $16,022,850 are held by foreigners, and of this aaaunt $12,578,000 are held by foreign insurance companies which are required to keep them on deposit in the various states where they do business. This leaves only $3,444,850 of United States bonds held by foreign individuals or banks. VOTE FOR CONGER. Next Tuesday the voters of Marshall county will elect county officers. Among the Important offices Is that of county treasurer, and no party ever presented a better man for that position than William II. Conger. Mr. Conger will, no djubt, receive the votes of many democrats who admire him for his character and ability and believe that he is in every way deserving of the position to which he aspires. Every republican should, therefore, make it a point to get to the polls next Tuesday and thus secure his election. In this connection we want to say again that every man cn the republican ticket is worthy of the support of all good citizens. Heim, Burgener, Groves and our candidates for all other officers are among the best men in Marshall county and men who vote for them regardless of party will never regret it. VOTE FOR PETER HEIM. There is much evidence in sight that the voters of Indiana have determined to !elect the best men to the legislature. We have published an article from the South Bend Times, one of the leading democratic papers of the state, showing that this should be done; and Julius Rowley the democratic leader of Fulton county is out in an open letter against Mr. Gast , the democratic candidate there because he is cot fitted to fill the position for which he has been nominated. We believe that the best democrats of Marshall county will act as sensibly as their neighbors in other counties and vote for Peter Heim, the man who can do the county some good if he is elected. Think of this when you go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for your own interest and the Interest of the people of the whole county. Vote for Peter Heim. Card of ThanXs. We desire to sincerely thank our neighbors and kind friends for their assistance and sympathy during the illness and death of our son. . Üb. and Urs. F. W. IioswosTn.

BEVERIDGE HERE

Indiana's Gifted Senator Addresses Large and Enthusiastic Aeeting at . the Court Yard. Senator Beveridge arrived on the 12:03 Lake Erie train from Indianapolis, and found that in order to fill his appointment at Hammond in the evening he must leave Plymouth on the 2:25 p. m. train. This gave him only twenty-five minutes for his address, nis voice was in bad condition, but after talking a few minutes, his logic and eloquence warmed up the immense crowd and there was great enthusiasm. He touched most of the principal points at issue and gave more information in twenty minutes than many other speakers would give in two hours. He showed that this is today the mtst prosperous country on the nlobe and that the republican partv is trying to deal justly with all classes and will be able to maintain this prosperity, that it will curb the trusts and all other monopolies without destroying business in general. He saidTheodore Roosevelt is a man of deeds as well as ot words, and men of all parties can trust him and do trust him. Elect Good Men for Legislators. The South Bend Times, the leading democratic paper of this part of the state savs: "Nothing more Important con fronts the citizen at this moment than this duty of selecting his repre sentatives. If he wants to send men to the legislature to vote away priceless privileges to favored corporations be ought to make sure that the men ha proposes voting for are the men who will thus conform to his wishes. But if he thinks public rights ought to be preserved, if he wants to stop monopoly encroachments; if he believes that public utilities ought not to be turned into means of oppression and extortion; if he feels that the bestowal of privilege Isacrimegaainst society and an invasion of individual rights; then hi ought to make sure that when he casts his ballot it will be for men who will not betray him. He can make sure of this only by as certaining in advance how the various candidates stand and what they themselves believe and to what they are pledged." To this might be added the wisdom of Including the county offices in the list. Independent Estimates on Indiana. - The Chicago Record Herald's In dianapolis correspondent gives that paper his guess on the election in In-dian-i, The results of the congressional elections are approximated in the following table: Dist. . Congressmen. Plurality1 J. W. Spencer(D) 100 2 R. W. Miers(D) 2,700 3 W. T. Zenor(D) 3,500 4 F. M. Griffiths(D) 2,300 5 Ellas S. Holliday(R) 1,250 6 James E. Watson(R) 1,800 7 Jesse Overstreet(R) 1,800 8 George W, Cromer(R) 1,200 9 Charles B. Landis(R) 1,700 10 E. D. Crummacker(R). 5,700 11 Fred Landis(R) 300 12 J. M. Robinson(D) 800 13 A. L. Brick(R) 900 This estimates gives the democrats the first district by the narrow margin of 100 votes, and a gain of one member of congress. The first district has always been very close, but republicans claim a larger majority than than they had two years ago. As a rule Indianapolis estimates are not reliable. The Next Congress. The New York nerald, an independent democratic paper, has made a prediction of the political complexion of every member In the next House of Representatives, except in fifteen districts, which are marksd as doubtful. That prediction elects 200 republicans and 171 democrats a' republican lead of twenty-nine. If eight of the Herald's doubtful districts, should be carried by the democrats and seven by the republicans the latter would have a majority of twentyeight. If the whole fifteen should te carried by the democrats the republicans would have a lead of fourteen or nearly twice the republican majority in the House which elected Thomas B. Reed speaker In December, 1889, and gave the House the Reed rules and the country the Sherman anti-trust law. Bars League of Education. The postmaster general at Wastu Ington, Fiiday signed fraud and lottery orders against the Leauge of Education of Chicago and its officers and agents in their capacity zz such. It was for the distribution -of prizes of unequal value by means of lottery or chance and using the mail for obtaining money by means of false and fraudulent pretenses. am I i i i ' i i i Card of ThanXs. We cannot express our thanks in words to the many friends who assisted and sympathized with us during the long illness and at the death of a loving T7lfe and mother. But their kindness will be always remembered. TTilliaix Everly and DAC-3irTZ3.'

Billions of Bushels of Corn. The 'agricultural statisticians at Washington are able to figure out with certainty that the corn crop of this year, that is safe from frost will exceed 2,500,000,000 bushels, which will meet the demands of the world this jear, and the next if the crop of 1903 should be a failure. This product of tne farms is a tremendous contribution to the wealth and the food supply of the nation. In amount it exceeds last year's crop by 1,000,000,000 bushels and that of 1900 by 500,000,000. Last year, corn by reason of its sctrcity sold as high as 90 cents in Kansas, and the average price was 60 cents a bushel. The whole crop sold for $929,000,000, bnt in 1899 corn sold as low as 10 cents in some regions. The great crop of this year means wealth to tne producer, or at least more ease and less debt, if it can be sold to advantage, which it will be sold to advantage, which it will be if the consumption ,can be increased through the prosperity of the country and a large exportation to foreign countries. When all industries are being worked to their greatest capacity, when money is plenty and the people havait to spend, and when the foreign trade is being expanded, and a judicious reciprocity with other countries swells the exportation of food stuffs, corn can be expected to maintain a good price, or to decline a smallei per cent than the per cent added to the crop. The conditions of industry and commerce are such In this country today and prospectively that the enormous corn crop will be

carried easily and sold at prices which will insure a profit to every producer on his work and land. We Do Not Get the Islands. Americans sometimes do energetic work in the way of getting sick men to the polls or to legislative bodies where their votes are needed, but) they have seldom equaled the work dune to defeat the ratification of the treaty for the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. The ques tion has been pending in the Danish Parliament for several months, and ratification or rejection of the treaty had become a very live issue. The final vote, taken on Wednesday, resulted in a tie, 32 for to 32 against, and the motion to ratify the treaty was therefore lost. The dispatch says. "The result ofWednesday's vote was doubtful until the last moment. One member had not taken a definite stand and it was uncertain whether the two sick members would be able to attend. The ages of these men, Thygeson and Reben, .are ninety-seven and eigtyseven years respectively. Both had been expected to die for several weeks past. They were both bedridden at their homes, 150 miles from Copenhagen, but they were brought to the city. Prominent anti-sale political leaders were sent to transport them here. The sufferers, who were accompanied by physicians, were carried into a saloon car which was rolled on to a ferry boat on which It crossed from Jutland. On their arrival at Copenhagen they were met by leading anti-sale men and were driven in carriages to a notel. There the two old men were guarded and nursed over night and were eventually carried to their chairs in the Dandsthing hall an hour before the meeting. They had a prompter on hand to assist them in voting." The two old men voted nay. and but for them the treaty would have been ratified. It is doubtful if American politics could furnish a more remarkable instance of hustling for votes. Indianapolis Journal. "Any politician can draw a platform, but it takes a statesman to draft a law. So said Secretary Shaw In his Tomllnson Hall speech, and political history proves it. Trees Belong to Property Holder. The supreme court decided that shade trees in front of a man's residence although located on public property, belongs to him. The case in which the. decision was made was one in which a property owner sued a telephone company for cutting off the limbs of his trees. The decision is of interest to all property holders and corporations. The law, . however, hclds that a property owner who has trees jrowlng along the highway must not allow limbs and branches to grow until they intefere with the travel of pedestrians or vehicles. The Township Tickets. The interest voters are taking in the state, congressional and county tickets should not absorb their attention to the extent of entirely overlooking the various township tickets. While the other tickets- are of vast importance this importance should not minimize the necessity of supporting also the republican township tickets. Sunday School Teachers' Library. The Presbyterian Sunday schxl has recently added a teachers' library of one hundred volumes. This In addition to the now already large library of nearly one thousand volumes, will be'appreciated by the large number

usinj it.

MORTUARY. Mrs. William Evcrly.

Amanda Alice, wife of William Everly, died at her home in this city Saturday October 25, 1902, aged 47 years, 2 months and 8 days.

Mrs. Everly had been a sufferer for many years, out she bore her affliction with fortitude and until a few days before ber death hoped that she might regain her health sufficiently to live a few years longer with her family. With the natural eye she looked out on the river of death appalled by the force of the waves; but as she gazed afar with the spiritual eye she beheld no disturbance, but on the contrary she felt that she was moving with the true poetry of motiou according to the eternal fitness of the plan of an ill-wise God. So completely was she filled with the spirit of God, that with her earthly ills almost constantly present, she exemplified the life of a dutiful wife, a kind, loving, affectionate mother, a teigbbor aud friend beloved and respected by all who knew her. She approached the close of her life on earth realizing that Jesus was her attendant and was taking her from midnight into the eternal brightness of a noon day sun; leaving evidence in ber own language by often singing and repeating these words: "The cross now covers my sins, The past is under the blood I am trusting in Jesus (or all My wii) is the will of my God." She leaves a devoted husband, one daughter, an aged mother, three sisters, two brothers and many other relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death. Mrs. E. A, Cook.
