Officials of the war and navy departments declare that the extension of the eight hour law to all government contracts would cause endless . emi ! - barrassment and great damage to both branches of the service. They say it would virtually nullify existing con contracts and cripple the army and navy in every emergency. The suit which Coroner' Maxwell has decided to brio? against former Sheriff Dudley, of Sullivan county, will bring the anti-lynching law to a test of its constitunality. The local Judge has shown that he sides with Dudley and will probably decide against the coroner, and then the case will be carried into the Supreme Court. Independent papers are outlining a -scheme of some leaders of the republican party to defeat Roosevelt for nomination. Don't attempt it, men. Mr. Roosevelt is the choice of the people,-and' he will be accepted as their candidate unless some untoward circumstance over which the politicians dö not exercise control defeats it. Elkhart Review. In President Roosevelt's last message, read in congress December 2, the following passage is found: In my judgment, the tariff on anthracite coal should be removed, and anthracite put actually, where it now is nominally, on the free list. This would have no effect at all, save In crises; but in crises it might benefit the people," The opinion prevails in Washington that negotiations with Colombia regarding It i Panana canal are on the point of being broken off and that the president ' will soon announce his cho'ce of the Nicaragua route. 'The choice of routes is left entirely with the president, and if he makes this decision it will be owing tothe mercenary attitude and unreasonable demands of the Colombian government.

The indicatlonire that the Color ado legislature will bayetenough pol

itics on hand to prevent It from pas sing-very many undesirable laws. -The Colorado legislature Is now com posed of one house, two senates and fifty deputy sheriffs, the outlook for an entertaining session is rather prom ising. L. P. Newby.,,of Knighstown, farmer state senator, announces that he will be a candidate for lieutenant governor next year. Three years ago he was a was a formidable candidate before the republican state convention, but Sena tor Gilbert got on to the luckv side of the situation' and beat him out. Somebody asked Senator Ilanna if he was not. afraid of the letter he had from' an Ohio ' pensioner which sald the writer had cast a spell of rheuma tism on the senator because he - bad not secured an increase In pension for the Ohioan. "Pshaw!" said Ilanna. "If I could get rid of my rheumatism by getting pensions I would camp out at the pension office " Sixty million dollars were added to the savings of depositors in the sav ings banks of !New York city alone in 1902, says the American Economist. A large part of that amount was the surplus earnings of so-called workingmen. Never before in our history have the laborers of the metropolis made so much money and never before have they been aMe to save so much. ' Mexican silver mine owners go right ahead buying new machinery and preparing to do a big busineess regardless of the uninviting outlook for the white metal. But then silver is use ful for a lot of things besides thirtycent dollars, and no doubt they will find a reasonably profitable market for their product. A good deal of trouble has arisen from the desire for an unreasonably profitable market. Of the prodigious sum of $1,622,014,000 received b railway companies of the United States in the year just reported upon by the Interstate Commerce Commission, $610,713,000, or three-eighths, went for wages, $420,000,000 for other expenses of opera tion, $309,000,000 for interest and taxes, and $65,633,000 for permanent improvements and miscellaneous expenses, leaving $131,G26,000 for divi dends about 2-6 per cent, on the stock and $94,764,000 for surplus or reserve. The Root bill for the reorganization and equipment of the militia on the same basis as the-regular army, while it has attracted . little . attention, U a most Important measure. The militia will be armed the'same as the regulars. A second volunteer force of 100,000 men naving experience In any branch of the, .federal or state sejvice, but whose labor in time of peace will consist of an occasional drill, will be retainedfor special service without much pay. The change which that Jaw will make in the National Guard can be understood when it -Is stated that only 4,000 of the 115,000 men have the modern service rifle of the Unted States. , , Under The Pacific ,'.' . - The agreement recently made by the Attorney-General of the United Statesand the officers of the commer cial Cable Company as d the terms on which the new Pacific cable was laid, cleared the way legally for the com pletion of an undertaking of the widest Interest. Until the present year the world chasm?" as the Pacific basin has been poetically called on acoount of its great breadth and sur passing depths, defied the cable-layers; they found it more economical to take the longer way round the earth. ' There Is something sentimental In thi3 conquest of the Pacific seas. A little strand about an inch in diameter contains, not only the delicate copper wires through which the electric current travels, but the material for protecting" them against the environing forces of nature. A casing of hemp, tar and rubber prevents leakage of the messages, steel wire shields the coatings from accidents, and the whole Is enclosed in a bituminous compound to keep it dry. Great ingenuity was required In lowering the cable to position.' t ' ; ' The reference of the poet Cray to the "dark unfathom'd caves of ocean' is recalled strikingly by the pathway of this cable, vrnlch IoIIotts the bed of the sea at a distance belo?r the surface' greater, in places, than the altitude of some ef the highest mountains. ' ; How lonely this cable will be among the works of man I Except where it crosses the British cable a little this side of Honolulu, and wheru a German cable may meet it at Guam, Its abode for thousands of miles will be In the most intense of nature's solitudes. Yet over this slender thread, In the long stretches of future tics; messages to startle the world will 'surely pass.

Sol Hathaway, editor of the Indianapolis Independent, probably knows as much about tobacco as any other man in Indira and be declares that the Indianapolis News and the Senti nel have become the avowed organs of the tobacco trust. Referring to the News article which has been printed in this paper he says: ' To be consistent the News should at once urge the removal of the restric tion placed by law against the sale of Intoxicants to minors, for "in matters of this kind it is not such a bad idea to leaie things to parents and teach ers. " '--.:. - We hope Senatov Parks will not be disconcerted by the presence of fthe trust's agert and his hirelings in the senate and house. ..- Neither should he fear the. influence of' any -paper that' tries , to bolster up. a traffic that is doing more to , undermine the young" manhood of Indiana in one year than the free and 4 unrestricted sale of whiskey could do in five yeajs, for it is an eyil that is in dulged, in by boys and even children in secret until ruin is wrought, while indulgence in intoxicating drinks brings about its own discovery and gives parents a chance to interpose and save their ooys. Mr. Parks can fortify himself with facts and figures concerning the evil effects of cigarette smoking by consuiting the records of the several insane' jiospitals in this state, as well of chiefs of police in the various cities. All the facts, all the argument, every principle of decency involved in the issue of right vs. wrong, is on his side of the cigarette question, and no man or Wwspaper or legislator can oppose the measure he has introduced and es cape suspicion. The tobacco trusG is a powerful organization, and will spend thousands of dollars for the privilege of carrying on Its deadly traffic in cigarettes In Indiana for two years more, but we do not believe it can buy enough members to defeat the measure if Senator Parks can get a fair and square vote on it in the senate and house. State Health Board bulletin. There were 642 cases of smallpox during December, with seventeen deaths in forty-one counties: This is shown by the December bulletin of the state board of health issued Thurs day. The bulletin shows that forthe twenty-third consecutive month smallpox was the most prevalent disease in Indiana. In December, 1901, there were 495 cases with two deaths iq twenty-eight counties. The severe epidemic smallpox centers ; for the month were Knox, Clarion, , Vigo, Washington, Adams, Allen, Monrde, Randolph, Ripley, Lagrange, Hancock and Lawrence counties. v 4 The number of deaths reported during the month was 2,634 which makes a death rate of 12.3. , In Dtjcember, 1901, there were 2,683 deaths. The death rate in the cities during the month was 14.5, and in the country, 11.1. The." deaths .from important causes were as follows: Consumption, 319; typhoid fever, 91; diphtheria, 57; scarlet fever, 11; measles, 1; whooping cough, 18; pneumonia, 367, diarrnbeal diseases under five, 23;cere-bro-spinal meningitis, 14; influenza, 19; puerperal fever, 8; cancer, 96; violence, 120; smallpox, 17, , Good Times. A pointer toward the promise of continued good times Is the action of some of the great railroads of the country in announcing plans' of im provements. The Chicago Tribune thinks these are fairly eloquent in their significance as bearinsr on the industrial outlook. .Tbe New York Central management will spend $4,000,000 this year for general improver ments on the Boston and Albony road: It will also spend $25,000,000 on the reconstruction of its ' New " York city terminal and ' In 'the Installation of electric service there.' ' Tfie tJnlon and Southern Pacific; roads will spend $40,000.000 reducing grades and shortenInf; lines. The Pennsylvania will begin' next ; month the expenditure of $50,000,009 for Its New York terminal its Y7&hlngtotr Station and improve-' rnVnts at Pittsbürg.' Here Is;$i20,000,000 to be spent in the near future by föurVpiincipal roads. To- this must be i added millions tddre that other roads will spend for Increasing their facilities i' " " There wis 'a great meeting at thä Methodist cburcti 1 Tuesday evening.' Rev. George Switzer, of Laporte, was present and " preached one of his characteilstlc sermons from the text, "I am the door, by me if any manenter in he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture." .

- POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Some Utile " Keynote From Governor Durbm'j Message. The best politics is exemplified in fidelity to official duty and the protection of the interests of those whom we serve. Each individual taxpayer of Indiana is a stockholder in the great business affairs that so largely form the respon sible duties of state administration. The steadfast purpose of the com monwealth should be to free itself of debt ane interest and then, maintain this condition. . The individual free from financial shackles and tbe commonwealth independent of bonds and1 bondholders, combine both abstract and concrete evidence of prosperous conditions and relative to the state are inviting to Investments, business . enterprise and substantial citizenship. There is an approximate identity between the individual in debt mortgaged by fixed charges of interest, and the state, which is but the composite of its citizenship, with bonds and attendant coupons inexorably sapping tolls from tbe treasury. There, never was a greater demand for careful and economical business administration of local public trusts thau at present. The careless and and shiftless handling of public revenues inevitably produces extra vgance and deficits, and in this age of practical economics there is no room or reason for prodigality political pen sions or selfish interest. Not only in the receipt and disburse ment ef taxes and fees is there care and judgment to be exercised, but a paramount obligation to loyalty to the requirements of the statutes must be enforced. Any haphazard, tentative policy of dealing with the finances of thepublicisa monstrous wrong, and can hut result In extravagance, waste and official scandal. ' Letter From James M. Confer. Dr. S. A. Johnson received a most interesting letter from James M. Confer, formerly of this city who l.as been serving his 'country in the navy for the last three years. A month ago he returned to the West Indies from a long European tour of the seaports of England, Ireland. Scotland, France, Germany, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Holland and Belguirn, all of which he gives a most interesting description. He ha& been on the Battleship Illinois and enjoyed tbe recent drills in the West Indies. . He was transferred to the Cruiser Chicago after tKe drills, which has sailed for a long tour of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The Chicago is noted fdr its long and interesting . voyages. James thinks the nayy is a great place, and he has served his country with honor, and his native town can well feel proud of him, and hope that it may send forth many snch brave ycung men. Poultry Exhibition. The Marshall County Poultry association will hold its second annual exhibition in Plymouth next week commencing on Wednesday forenoon and lasting till Saturday night. This promises to be the best exhibit of pure bred poultry ever held In Marshall county. . The association will coop the show In a neat and attractive manner. Coops will be furnished for a very low rental. Anyone haying poultry to exhibit is requested' to-write to the secretary, It behooves every farmer and breeder to attend, this exhibit and see what: can be: done in the way . öf breeding fine specimens of poultry. Admission this year is absolutely free to come and encourage the members or the association by your presence. i.. Entries will close at noon of Wednesday Jan. 28 Judging will be done on Thursday and awards placed that evening." : - ; Belgian Hares and other pet stock will be on exhibition. Primary Dection Bill Htdied. There 'Is a fa?ble which tells of the unhappy experience of a man who entered matrimony with a luxuriant head of hair. Liylng in tbe days when poiygamy was1 winked at, he took a young wife and an old one. The young Insisted on' plucking all the gray hairs observed; the old in pulling out all the black hairs that struck her eye. ' Between the two he soon became as bald as a plate. Legislators and politicians tiraw an Interesting comparison between the man who lost bis hair and Senator Thompson's bill föf the purification' of primary elections which, between the well-meant efforts of its friends and the clever eliminations of its enemies, secret and avowed, is in peril, it'is declared, of losing every thing about it Eave the enacting clause and a few ulfs," "ands" and "it is provided." The committee to whom the biil has been referred and other leading politicians find fault with almost every section of it and if the biil passes it will be in a shape that its author would not know it if he should meet it in tha read.

MORTUARY

Mrs. H. H. Tyrrell. Mrs. H. H.Tyrrell died at her home in Bourbon Saturday, January 17, 1903, aged 59 years. ' Deceased was born and married in Goshen, but had been a resident of Bourbon about 37 years. Her maiden name was Chamberlain. , Her death was caused by heart trouble, with which she had suffered for some time. Her condition became critical a: few days before her death. Surviving her are her husband and five children, Louis, Burt, Clarence, Eva and Noyes: two sisters, Mrs. G. Hubbell, of Goshen, and Mrs. Mary Grosh, of To ledo and one brother, Jerome Chamber lain. Funeral at Bourbon Tuesday. Killed at Culver. Eli Klingelsmitb, of Cass county, a Vandalla brakeman, met death bp. tween two cars near Culyer Saturday afternoon. He was on freight No. 25, north bound. Near Culver, the train was to pick up a car and Klingelsmith stepped down to uncouple the cars. In some manner he got caught and was mashed so badly that he died shortlv after the accident. m He was taken to Culver bv the members of the crew where medical attention was given, but he was hurt internally and survived but a few minutes after reaching that place. Tne crew left him in care of an undertaker, after notifying the local offices and proceeded on the run. The body was taken to Logansport Sunday morning and was shipped to Ridgeville where his relatives live. Klingelsmith was a young man and was well liked by all his associates. He had been in the employ of the Vandalia about a year. He was in line for promotion and would shortly have been given a better position but for his sudden death. West Township Smallpox Cases. T!"e case of Amzl Hemlnger who was attacked with smallpox over a week ago, Is severe, but he will prob ably pull through all right. His family and another family were exposed, and while none of them have yet taken the disease It is probable that several of them will be in bed in a few days. Both families, nine persons in all. are quarantined and the school at West school house is closed. 'Trustee Hall has taken all precautions necessary to prevent contagion and there is no danger of the disease spreading. The Doctor of the Future. Thomas A. Edison, the wizard elec trician and inventor says: ' 'The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct bis pa tient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and preven tion of diseases. Surgery, diet, antiseptics these three are the vital things of the. fu ture in the preservation of the health of humanity. . There were never so many able minds at work on the prob lems of disease as now, and all their discoveries are tending to the simple truth that you can't improve on nature. Would Tax Dogs. Representative Sherman has prepared an odd dog tax bill. It provides that township assessois shall collect 50 cents for each dog on making their rounds, and that the rest of the tax shall be levied as other taxes, according to the value of tbe dog. The appraisement shall be by tbe owner of tbe dog, but tbe bill has a proyision that Mr. Sherman believes will make the dog owner report the value high enough. It provides . that . the owner of a dog shall be paid the price be sets upon tbe animal in case the dog is killed by somebody. . , Letter' to Mr. Werntz. Plymouth, Ind. ' jJuAjt Sib: You buy your horse shoes and nails; ydur grandfather, if he was a blacksmith, made 'em; You can't afford toT hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good, or better perhaps, ready' made , to your band, for a little more than the cost of Iron. - What do' yöu think of a painter ytib goes on buying his linseed oil and white-lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charging' his time for Work that is far better-done than he can do it; done by machinery; done as your horseshoes and nails are made. Mistake isn't it?' He is wasting his charge In the world. There is no better stuff to do business ' with than good horseshoes and paint; and no better work than putting them on. Good yorseshoes well put on: It's the putting 'em on that makes you a blacksmith; no matter who rnaf es 'em. Who wants to go back to old times, and maKe his own horseshoes? ; - V Between us two, that painter don't know how to make good paint he used to; but paint has run away from him. . Yours truly, F. W.
