The Only Republican Paper in the County Plymouth, Ind, December 25. 1902. Dewey's fleet is so distributed that it may said tourround, at a short distance, the blockading ships of Germany and England. Tue arrangement is an excelleut one for an Amer ican celebration of Christmas in the Car ri bean. Bv refereace to our news columns it will be seen that Hon. Charles F. Griäta of Hammond, is dead. No man in Northern Indiana had more friends than he had, and his death in the pjime of life seems a great loss to the state. Hundreds of friends in almost every county in Indiana will feel al must like they had lost a relative. There is a fair prospect that the bill which the United States senate passed at the last session of congress for the creation of a department of commerce may become a law at the present ses sion. It is understood mat there is a large majority of the house in favor of the bill, but that majority has not yet had an opportunity to pass on ihe measure. A reminder of Jerry Simpson's pros parity has reached the United States senate cloakroom from New Mexico. It is in the for.n of a large box of beautiful apples grown on Jem's ranch in the Pecos valley. . The former Kansan is a strong advocate of a statehood for New Mexico, and possibly the apples did not hurt the cause he has at heart. A recent rosterot the United States troojs in the I'Lillppines snows that there are none whose service there be gan earlier than September 1900, and a considerable number who arrived there in 1902. Three years is about the limit -f time that American' soldiers ought to serve there continuously, and it will probably be the policy of trie government to change them as orten as that. The Monroe doctrine is coming out of the Venezuela affair with borne additional rivets. No one who knows the American character can doubt that this Country would ght for the principle to the last ditch. Uncle Sam' idea is that the buccaneers of Europe must leave America out of their field of operations as far as territory is concerned. There will rever be any departure from this doctrine as lon as the republic stands. The Monroe doctrine never was as strong, as weil understood and as weil respected by European governments as it is today. The London correspondent of the New York Tribune wires: t4The Washington government by its statesmanlike management of its relations with Venezuela and the European powers, has commanded the confidence of strjng and weak states and retained its paramount authority over the questions relating to tropical America." The question which is raised in regard to the constitutionality of a law providing for the use of voting macaines is at least an interesting one. When the constitution was framed voting machines were not dreamed of and the provision that all elections by the pejp'e shall be by ballot" had no reference to them. The context s.iows that it was intended to differentiate popular elections from elections by the general assembly, the former being by ballot and the latter via voce. The real object of the provision was to secure secrecy and independence in popular elections, and a voting machine would do that as well 23 the Australian ballot system does. It is probable that the Australian bal- . lot law is unconstitutional because it deprives voters from voting,. for: any except the names of persons on the ballot, and a man ought to have the priyelege to vote for whom he pleases. Secretary Wilson belieyes that the danger of the spread, of the foot and mouth disease among cattle is now practically over. He says the epidemic is about stamped out. although there is still some serious work to be done to remove the danger of its recurrence. It is now confied to eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Islani. There have been co cases in Maine and only three cases in New Hampshire near the Massachusetts line, which were treated promptly by the slaughter of the entire here of cattle in which it appeared and the establishment of quarrautiue against the Infected districts of Massachusetts. Vermont is free, twenty or more herds of cattle having been killed there. There have been no signs of the disease in Connecticut. New York, Pennsylvania or New Jersey, and all of the states named have been carefully inspected by the vetrinary surgeoc? of the Agricultural department. '4

Gen. B. F. Tracy, who is a repute

lican, and was secretary of the navy under President Harrison, says the democrats have no other capable leader in sight tbanGrover Cleveland, and he thinks Cleveland will be the nominee in 1904. The , St. Louis Court of Appeals decides that the boycott is an illegal conspiracy in restraint of trade! that capitalists may refuse to use their money unless they become public charges, and workmen may refuse to work if they keep out of the poorhouse.J The Indiana . Bituminous Coal Operators association has asked the Indiana delegation in congress to use its efforts in bringing about a treaty of reciprocity between the United States and Canada, wherebv the bituminous coal of each country shall be admitted free of duty into the territory of each other. It does not look as if it would be necessary for the state to adopt the suggestion of Mr. J. L. McCulloch, of Marion, and appropriate $50,000 for the development of Indiana's gas and oil resources. With oil at$1.07 a barrel and a demand tor gas that the supylf can not hope to equal, it looks as if private enterprise could be depended on for all the development that is possible. The Lafayette Journal feels quite jubilant over the recognition of that citv's local statesmen. Itsavs: VHenry W. Marshall will occupy the speakers chair in the next Indiana legislature." The informrtion comes from the powers that be. .With Mr. Storms in the office of secretary of state and Mr. Marshall in the speaker's chair, Tippecanoe county people will feel at home over at the capital." The coming session of the Indiana legislature will be asked to appropriate a sufficient sum of $5,000 to $10,000, to pay for the construction of a suitable statue to be placed in the national capitol at Washington in honor of the great military hero, George Rogers Clark. The bill probably will be placed in the hands of Senator Barcus. A committee of Indianians in the national capital this week had the matter under discussion and the bill is now being prepared. It is the intention to have the statue made bv an Indiana sculptor. One soldier of the civil war, bent nearly double with disease contracted in the line of duty, has refused a pennon of $12 a month granted bv the government. John A. Daley, of Topeka, Kan., filed papers for a pension, and when the bureau wrote h!m a favorable reply he declined to accept the money, saying his purpose in appealing to the records of the department was to establish his rightful identity as a soldier of the Fourteenth Indiana Infantry. He said the fact had been questioned, anri he wanted to prove it in the most effective way. Judge Penfield, solicitor for the state department, thinks The Hague arbitration tribunal is destined to become a great factor in shaping history. "It will be a forum, he says, 4in which a succession of great lawyers and publicists will appear and discuss great questions. The moral power and functions of the court will be increased with its increasing usefulness. Its justice will be more and more sought, And there the people of all states interested in maintaining the legal rights of individuals and in maintaining peace and justice will have a hearing." As four Asiatic, two American and nineteen European states united in creating the court it should command the confidence of the whole world. Inconsistencies of Union Labor. President Gomper's emphatic approval of the boycott as one of the methods as organized labor can no more be defended than can the blacklisting of workingmen by those who have employed them. To boycott a man's business because be may ride in a street car belonging to a company with which a union has a grievance is a serious infringement upon the rights of the individual, because it is intended to destroy his business. It is an outrage upon the Individual for an employer to notify other employers not to give work to a discharged man an outrage which Mr. Gompers de nounces. It is of the same character, however, as the boycott. The man who favors one cannot consistency denounce the other. Indianapolis Journal. Blamed For His Own Death. A freight brakeman running over a road on which there was a low bridge that had alrready killed 19 brakeman, was held by the supreme court to have assumed the risk of being killed by it in case he should fail to lie down when his train passed under it. " Suit was brought to recover $10,000 damages for the death of William A. Francis, who was knocked from his train by the wagon bridge over the Monon railroad track at Putnamyille when he was setting a brake wheel on top of a box car half asleep. The supreme court affirmed a judgment for the defendant.

In Memory of. Wesley Reynolds.. -

The bov who died at Westville How many know his name? How many prize his courage? And who will keep his fame? That boy who did his duty; Who had his trust to hold; Now stands beside the heroes Who lived aud died of old. No crowd was there to cheer him; No army urged him on: No thrilling surge of battle Swept thro' the cold, gray dawn; No fair maid gave the guerdon That added to his might lie only did his duty, Did what he thought was right. There was no foaming Tiber, Brimmed with a raging tide; No lithe and lusty comrade To guard him at the side; ! No hope of bay or laurel; No vision of a throne He only did his duty. And fought his fight alone. No drums were calling calling; There were no bugle strains The strains that send hot courage ; A-gallop through the veins. Naught bnt a sense of duty To hold him to the strife, And yet he kept bis courage And rendered up his life. O, boy who died at Westville, A homely tale is yours! A tale of common courage, Yet such a tale endures. The proudest tablet graven; The highest shaft e'er set Might fail to guard your glory But some will not forget. Chicago Tribune. BEN GARVER SUICIDES Drinks Carbolic Acfd and Dies in Court House at South Bend. Benjamin F. Garver, of Bremen, a witness for the Lake Shore railroad, in the Judy damage case now being tried in South Beud, drank carbolic acid and died in the jury room at South Bend Saturday morning. The horse and sleigh which Dr. Bowman and Noah Judy were driving when they met their death on the Union street crossing at Mishawaka, were hired at the Garver livery barn. Mr. Garver was severely cross-questioned while giving his testimony Friday evening, became considerably rattled and contradicted himself. Court adjourned before his testimony was concluded and it is supposed that he was afraid that he would again get mixed up and might be indicted for perjury, consequently he committed suicide rather than go on the witness stand again. Mr. Garver was burner a farm near Burr Oak, esght miles southwest of Plymouth, Ind., on July 25, 185". He was married in 1SS9. He removed to Bremen 12 years ago from Plymouth. Previous to his residence in Plymoutli he had lived for some time in Kansas. Mr. Carver practically retired from active business about two years ago. He had been a stock dealer and had met with considerable prosperity, owning a good farm near Bremen and residence property in that towu. Besides his wife he leaves a son .10 years of age, a daughter aged eight, and a number of brothers and sisters. The brothers are Daniel Garver, of Rochester, Minn.; Henry, of Bremen: David, residing near Linco'n, Neb.: William, Jacob, George, and Fred, living near Argos, Ind., and Thomas, of Burr Oak, Ind, The sisters are Mrs. Dreese, of Plymouth, and Mrs. Alice Wise, of Berrien Springs, Mich. Funeral services were held at Bremen at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A Courageous Prosecutor. For years and years the courts and prosecutors of the city of New York were criticised, censured and damned for being too lenient in the treatment, of gambling institutions, A year ago the people of Greater New York eleced a courageous lawyer named Jerome to the office of prosecuting attorney. He declared in every speech delivered during the campaign that if elected he would enforce the law without respect to persons or their station in life, ne was elected. As an honest, upright man he has proceeded to discharge the duties of his office in accordance with his before election declarations. Recently he caused to be raided the most aristocratic gambling institution in the great city. . Instantly an indignant howl was set up over this 'daring' effrontery.". It appears that a whole, raft of young millionarler are patrons of this gambling palace. Mr. Jerome claims the right to proceed against these blooded gentlemen just the same as if they were of the common herd. Some of the papers, Influenced or controlled by these young millionaires ortheir daddies, fiercely denounce District Attorney Jerome for bringing these chaps Into court and compelling them to make answer to questions bearing upon the subject under investigation. Christmas Gitt to 4.000 Men. Four thousand employes of the Crane company at the main factory and five branches on the West Side, Chicago, were made happy by the announcement last week that the company would make them a Christmas present of $135,000. This sum is an outright, gift, and will be divided pro rata among employees of the Crane company, so that each man will receive a share of it equal to 5 percent, of his annual wages, Two million Americans suffer the torturing pangs of dyspepsia.

Mrs. Jonathan Pickerl, of Argos, died yesterday. ' Geo. Eckert wüf sell at public auction at Linkville, Tuesday Dec. 30, at i and 7 o'clock p. 'm., a lot of merchandise. M. Steiner & Sox, Auctioneers. It will be noticed that in many of the farmers' meetings held this season the protection of birds is a leading topic for discussion. Opposition to the slaughter of birds is not a matter of sentiment with intelligent farmers, but one of farm economics. t They have discovered that most every kind of bird Is an industrious destroyer of insects which destroy all kinds of crops at some stage of their growth. Among those who went south to spend Christmas were Miss Ida San ner, Rochester; Mrs. C. Heck, Peru; Mrs. Deemer and daughter, Pearl, Argos, Mrs. I. Holly and son, Roches ter; Mrs. Hester Almack, Peru; liar old Railsback and family, Walnut; Mrs. Jessie Blocher aud Mrs, Peters, Wabash. In sorae way it is pssible that every person living in this city could be made happier on Christmas Day. The best way to try is to equalize the ap portionment of gifts by making a substantial present to a person in need, who is really not expecting anything for every one made to a friend who floes expect something. Grove Stockton, of Stockbndge, Michigan, the inventor of a gas for lighting and heating purposes, which be believes will revolutionize heating metheds, was in Plymouth this fore noon. If this gas is all that is claimed for it Plymouth residences and business houses can De heated for about half what fuel now costs. The commissioner of interna revenue has issued a circular to collectors notifying them that on and after the 1st of January, 1903, every person who sells or offers for sale any soda water drinks, orothjr beverages to which is added distilled spirits, or wine, or any compound thereof" must pay the especial tax of a retail liquor dealer. 'The tax is $25 a vear. After lingering three days in much agony City Marshal R. E. Coulter and Justice of the Peace A. E. Musgrave, of Farmington. la., who were shot on the street there Friday afternoon by George Stilwell, died Monday. Stil well chot Coulter and Musgrave because M usgrave - issued an order for his arrest and Coulter attempted to serve it. A mob then hunted Stilwell down and kilUd him. Home for -Holidays.

Le!a Day's Funeral. The funeral of Lela Day at Donaldson, Sundav, was largely attended and the remains were laid to rest in a verv rich casket. The original name or the child was Sumner. She was taken from the orphans' home and adopted by Mr, and Mrs. Elias R. Day when she was two years, old. They loyed her and cared for her as if she had been their own child. The skill of the best physicians in Chicago and the loving care of her foster parents, could not save her life, but it sends a ray of sunshine into the hearts of an entire community when such love and " devotion is witnessed, and Mr. and Mrs." Day will return to their home in Dakota feeling that they did all that could be done to save the life of their child and that they have the sympathy of all who know them. A Household Name. - Royal Baking Powder" Is a household word pretty much the civilized world over, and the article itself has become a necessity in thousands upon thousands of families in nearly every civilized country. The success of this splendid preparation is due to the fact that it is exaeely what it is represented to be a pure cream of tarter baking powder. One of Its great recommendations is Its high leavening power. That, of course, appeals to every housewife. It secures a light baking with the least amount of attention and trouble. It can be counted upon. But it has a virture beyond that it is "absolutely pure." Royal' Baking Powder contains nothing deleterious. It can be used with perfect confidence and with the certainty that, so far as it is concerned, the baking will be thoroughly wholesome. Terrible plagues, those itching, pestering diseases of the skin. Put an end to misery. Doan's Ointment cares. At any drug store.

A Needed Reform. William O'Keefe, treasurer of Mar:

shall county, expresses himself, In an interview, as favoring a law which will compel treasurers to deposit funds intrusted to them in that bank which bids the highest for them, and to account to the public for the interest. The deposit, he thinks, should be made in the name of the county, and both bank and treasurer should he required to give bond. It is not easy to imagine a more important rrform than this. Mr. O'Keefe points out many of the evils that it would remedy. Of course, the most obvious advantage of the change wmld be that the people would get all the money coming to them. The interest on county funds belongs to the peo pie just as truly as do the funds themselves. It is further insisted that the reform would stop the defalcations and thefts which are now far too common, which is, of course, true. The money would never leave the cojtrol of the county, and it would be impossible for the treasurer to treat it as his own. Further than this, in cur larger counties, the treasureship would cease to be the prize it now is, and so there would be no struggle for it, and no such sums of money spent to secure the nomination and election. The system of pet banks would be broken up. and no bank would control the office or its incumbent. We have had a great deal too much of this in Marion county. From every point of view the reform is desirable. The legislature could do nothing that would commend it to the people more than the . adoption of Mr. O'Keefe's suggestion. He is entitled to great credit for putting it into operation in Marshall county, Indianapolis News, From the Circuit Conrt. The December term of the circuit court convened Monday afternoon, Hon. narry Bernetha. judge presiding- . The court made no permanent appointment as bailiff but continued John Fogel, sr., as bailiff until such time as he was ready to make the appointment.

Letter to Tribbey & Koontz. Plymouth, Ind. Dear Sirs: Porterhouse, so much; neck, so much; all the way between. Just so with paint. Devoe Ready Faint is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck;- the between, some say, is good enough for them. But Devoe costs less, not more, than between. Lead and oil is between; it is the old fashion paint. But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe Ready Paint is the paint. If you paint in three years, you do It for looks. Devoe daes not wear out in three years. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co.
