Senator Parks informed the senate Wednesday that he took as much leasure in voting against the Sunday base ball bills as he did in voting against the Luhring bill. Senator Parks has the courage of his convictions.

Fred Gochenour, of Bourbon township, has a ram trained to keep hunters off his farm. His ramship can back 20 feet and hit the spot like a bullet from a Winchester rifle.

As such he lives forever, canonized and worshiped. He is adored not from afar, but in the hearts of his people everywhere. The Missouri senate has passed a bill to brand foreign lords for the purpose of protecting the young women of that state against bogus noblemen who want to marry money. Ora Wilburn has gone to Fort Wayne which will be his headquarters for a time at least. He has charge of a number of teams grading the second track of the Pennsylvania. Elias Shearer, Mrs. Jacob Casper and Mrs. George Casper were called to South Bend by the serious illness of their father, Samuel Shearer, one of Marshall county's old settlers. Senator Parks says the "grafters" are thoroughly organized at Indianapolis and honest members of the legislature have to be industrious and vigilant to head off their schemes. It is rumored that John D. Rockefeller, jr., has during the past few weeks lost $10,000,000 in Wall street. The story is probably without foundation. The price of oil hasn't gone up recently. Senator Burns, of South Bend, died at noon Saturday. His death has been expected for several days. He was sick when the legislature convened and was not able to stand the work he was called to do. The dates of the fairs in the Northern Indiana fair circuit are as follows: Laporte, beginning Sept. 4; Rochester Sept. 8; Bremen, Oct. 6; Bourbon, Oct. 13. The dates for Crown Point and Valparaiso have not been set. In a recent editorial Mr. Bryan says, "Populism helped to save the democratic party from annihilation, " Most democrats are of the opinion that populism came nearer to wrecking their wobbly ship than did any other cause. The 12th of February, Lincoln's birthday, was a legal holiday in nine states, Illinois, Connecticut, .Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wyoming. Were it not for the fact that the birthday of Washington comes 11 days later in this month and is a general holiday throughout the union.

President Roosevelt has decided to bar lighted cigars out of the white house and with the view of making known his desires regarding the matter has hung over a mantel in the public reception room the familiar sign, "No Smoking Allowed." The United Brethren are expecting to entirely remodel their church building this year. The present, plan is to

move the present house back and turn it half way round, and build an addi tion in front. The estimated cost of change is about $3,500.---Bremen Enquirer. "Just let twenty big hogs out on a soft field any day and then throw down a peck or so of corn in a sack and see them go for it, and you'll know what a game of football looks like to a farmer " was the expression of a farmer while witnessing the sport recently. A bill has passed both branches of the Michigan legislature without a dissenting voice which makes it a crime for a hunter to carelessly shoot another while in the pursuit of game. The punishment is fixed at not more than 10 years imprisonment in the penitentiary and a fine not exceeding $1,000. Smith Jones, the youngest life convict in the United States, who was convicted of murder in Warwick county fourteen months ago and sentenced to imprisonment for life, has been sent from the prison at Michigan City to the Plaintield reform school. The boy was only thirteen years old when he was sent to prison. A. M. Barron, of South Bend, formerly of Elkhart, is working on a plan which has for its object the consolidation of all the electric lighting, gas and water plants in Indiana which have proved unprofitable to the stockholders by reason of various causes such as bad equipment, poor installation, poor management, etc. A fact not generally known is that no bill can pass in the Indiana legislature without receiving a majority of votes in both houses of the members elected. Thus, in the senate the total vote on a bill may be only forty, but in order to pass the bill must receive twenty-six votes, the full membership being fifty. In congress a majority of the members voting will pass a bill. Senator Gochenour has introduced a bill that if enacted into law will allow only the people living outside the incorporated towns in a township to vote for trustee. A trustee has no jurisdiction over the affairs of a city or town except as poor officer but is generally elected by the vote of the cities and towns when there are any in a township. The senator thinks this unfair, hence his bill. Hon. Samuel Parker went to Rocheser Friday to hold court for Judge Bernetha. He spent Thursday at Indianapolls visiting the legislature and watched with interest the proceedings of the state senate of which he was once a leader. He took dinner with Senator Parks, who, he says, seems to be fully up to the average of that body and is regarded as a man who votes conscientiously on all bills presented. The February weather forecast made by Hicks was very discouraging. We were to have bad weather from the beginning to the end of the month and the storms of the 10th, llth, 12th and 13th were to be something awful. Hicks has come just as near guessing the weather as he usually does, yet there are scores of men and even newspapers who will continue to pin their faith to Hicks and publish his forecasts. Marshall county has only 1694 acres, or less than three square miles, of first-class standing timber. According to the returns of the assessors, only 174 trees were planted in the county in 1902. There must be an awakening to the necessity of tree planting. Nothing has contributed more to the prosperity of the county in the past than the native hardwood timber, but the supply is now practically exhausted. Miss Margaret Kuhns, the returned missionary, from Japan, who lectured at Walnut Grove church Wednesday evening, spoke in most of the M. P. churches in this county and has aroused great interest in foreign missions in all the neighborhoods that she visited. She was in Plymouth last Thursday and went south on the Lake Erie. She will spend the remainder of the month in counties south of here. Her home is at Youngstown, Pa. Prof. Seboeck gave a fine entertainment at the M. E. church Thursday evening. It was in fact one of the best entertainments ever given in the city. Seboeck 's reputation is worldwide, and it was fully sustained here. There was a good house but not large enough to pay expenses, and Prof. Hahn had to go down in his own pocket for $39.00. The audience was de1ighted and Prof. Hahn certainly deserves credit for bringing to Plymouth one of the world's greatest musicians.

NOW WITH THE JURY

Great Anthracite Strike Case at Last Submitted to the Commission. DARE0W CLOSES THE LONG DEBATE With a Speech That Occupies Most of Two Sessions---Mitchell Present at the close---Judge Gray's Talk. Philadelphia, Feb. 14.---The anthracite coal strike commission, after being in continuous session for three months, closed its open hearings yesterday with all day Clarence S. Darrow in behalf of the argument by miners. The commission will meet in secret in Washington next Thursday and begin the consideration of its award. It is expected that by the end of this month the arbitrators will be ready to make their announcement. If an increase in wages is determined upon, the increase is to date from the 1st of last November, the commission having decided upon that date on Oct. 31. After the session yesterday the commission held a short conference with the lawyers for the several sides, and asked them to hold themselves in readiness in case they are called upon by the commission. Tenor of Darrow's Speech. The crowd that heard Darrow speak yesterday was fully as great as that which listened to Baer and Darrow Thursday. He took up the entire time of both sessions five and one-half hours. He touched upon almost every phase of the strike, and when he closed he was greeted with long applause which Chairman Gray did not suppress. President Mitchell was in court all day, but did not have anything to say to the commission in parting. Darrow's speech was a bitter arraignment of the coal operators and the non-union men, and a general assault along the whole line of the position of those who antagonize organized labor. Among those who came under the lash of his criticism was General Gobin, commander of the state troops in the strike region during the strike. Opposed to Union Incorporation. Referring to the incorporation of unions he said: "I am not willing to admit for a single moment that anything can be gained for manhood, for righteousness, for the good of all by going into some petty legislature and ask to merge the individual flesh and blood man into a corporation created by the state. Why, we were told in the argument that the state of New Jersey---of all the places on earth the state of New Jer-sey!---had introduced a law to compel labor organizations to incorporate." Then he roasted New Jersey. Gray speaks for the Commission. After the long applause which was accorded Darrow had subsided Chairman Gray, on behalf of the commission, said: "It is due to counsel and to those who represented both sides that I should say that we leave you---or rather you leave us---with a feeling on our part of regret that the long association which has been so pleasant to us is about to be broken. It speaks well for counsel on both sides that no unpleasant episode has occurred * * * The work is now ours, and I know that we have your best wishes that we may have a safe and a righteous deliverance." DUDLEY IS 0PTIMISTIC Says Prospects for the Future of the Green Ise Are of the Most Rosette Hue. Dublin, Feb. 13.---The Earl of Dudley, lord lieutenant of Ireland, at the annual dinner of the Royal College of Surgeons here made a very optimistic speech, during which he declared that the prospect's for the future of Ireland were very encouraging. Agitation has been largely abandoned; and he hoped earnestly that those who were responsible for the government of Ireland would never again be compelled to enforce the exceptional treatment which they had been obliged to impose early in 1902. Never in his life had he signed anything more gladly than last week's proclamation. The country had shown a genuine desire for a just, final and amicable solution of the land question, and he believed the recent land conference would prove an epoch in Irish history, the mainspring thereof being toleration, moderation and co-opera-tion; and with these principles there was nothing Ireland could not accomplish. Ladrones Attack a Town. Manila, Feb. 13.---A hundred Ladrones attacked the town of Nanjan, Island of Mindora, Wednesday. Constabulary repulsed them after a scattering fight, which lasted several hours, during which one Ladrone was killed and one was wounded. Twenty women and children living in the town were injured. Senate and House in Brief. Washington, Feb. 13.---With the exception of a few minutes during which some routine business was transacted, the session of the senate yesterday was behind closed doors, and the Panama canal treaty was the subject of consideration. After being in executive session for five hours the senate adjourned. The house made slow progress with the sundry civil bill, covering only twenty-seven pages and leaving forty pages still to be disposed of. The delay being occasioned by political discussion. Little Girl Found Dead. Clinton, Ind., Feb. 14.---Grace Hensaw, aged 10 years, child of George Hensaw, who lives six miles northeast of here, was found dead near its home. There is no clew to the cause of death. Commemorative of Lincoln. Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 13.---Exercises commemorating Lincoln's birthday were held yesterday in the public schools throughout the county. Services were held in many churches last night. The principal address, "Lincoln as a Citizen," was delivered by Dr. W. O. Stone, president of Purdue university.
