Tbe garnishee bill bas gone down
in defeat somewhat defaced, but it will re-appear at the next General Assembly and at least '' afford employ
ment for a lobby on both sides.
Senator Quay has-been forced to
give np his statehood fight in the United States senate" and the remainder of the cession will be devoted to appropriation bills and treaties.
South Bend got a new city charter at the last election which was expected to furnish more oöces for republicans, but the democrats carried the next election and now the men that did not get office want appointments taken out of the hands of the mayor of South Bend and given to Governor Durbin. If this is done it will make South Bend a democratic city beyond the hope of redemption.
And now the independent papers tell us that the 'Iowa idea" is free trade backed by democrats who have joined the republican party on other principles. Just give these new recruits a little time and they will be sound on protection also. In fact a majority of the democratic party leans strongly in that dirction now, but are too bashful to admit it after having been free traders for 'almost a lifetime.
In the advance sheets of consular , reports No. 155S our cmsul at Berlin makes an interesting report cn'the main features and probable effect of tne new German tariff. The new duty on grain will amoun to about 100 per cent, while a prohibitive duty of $4.06 ' per barrel Is placed on flour. The duty oniorses is raised from $4.76 per head to a figure varying trom $21 to $85. Similar increases are made in other importrnt exports from the United States, such as shoes, lumber, machinery and railway materials. The new duties will not go Into effect until 1904, by which time it is believed some of these rates may be "traded down" by reciprocity treaties.
An ExpUmtion. The editor of thipaper was called away from home this week, and a new man having chargs temporarily made a mess of thlc gs. ' tVe are sorry for the write up of the Washington birthday exercises at the ; Presbyterian
church. It was certainly an enter
tainment of a very high order, and
the editor of this - paper certainly
-knows that Philip Melancthcn was
do t a Presby terian ; ; that John Brown
did not teach abolitionism to William
Lloyd Garrison and that 'Teddy
Soules" was not a United States sen ator. We hope this explanation wil
be sufficient, as the article referred to
was printed before it was seen by us.
Trouble Ahud For Gamblers,
A sweeping bill against gambling has been introduced' in the legislature
by Representative Hastings, of Wash
ington. .Should the bill pass, and
II r. Hastings bas already been assur
ed of the support of many members of
tbe body, it will be a solar-plexus blow for the gambling fraternity in In
diana, v.
Mr. Hastings states that the purpose of the bill . is to get directly at
those officers of the. law who are re
..miss In their duty. In a number of
counties, ' he says, instances have
1 i m arisen la the past year or two which
bave jbeen discreditable to the com
muni ties concerned. -Officers of the law sworn to act against gamblers
have lain low and have permitted gambling of the most flagrant nature to go on under their noses. This sort
of thing is a blot upon tbe statt-, he maintains, which should be erased at once by a measure to compel officials guilty !of such violation to do their
whole duty.
Men Interested In reform legislation
of a practical nature have expressed their hearty approyal of the measure to Mr. Hastings and : he is assured of the warm support of the so-called law and order element.1 Mr. Hastings points out that there is nothing In
uie mrwufc iu wuicu au man engaged In a legitimate occupation may object. It is directed straight at the heart of viciousness of a particular character and is so worded that it cannot help but be effective. The bill is simply' drawn. It requires officers of the law, whenever they receive information' that gambling exists in a certain place, to go there at once, take the names of all engaged in gambling, remove all apparatus and destroy clj -apparatus immediately. If Vneji izX to', comply vjith these provisions it is provided that they shall forfeit, for the benefit of ths common fcciccl fund of ths ctte thz sura of C1CO -ft each failure

Alfalfa in Marshall County. C T. Mattingly, one of the progressive farmers of Marshall county has been experimenting with alfalfa and believes it can he successfully grown here, although he is not certain of it. There has been very little alfalfa raised east of the Mississippi river, but Mr. Mattingly has learned that when other conditions are right tbe ground must be infected with alfalfa bacteria before a large crop can be raised. Mr. Mattingly wrote to the experiment station at Purdue in regard to the. matter. They referred him to the Illinois Agricultural University at Urbana. The experiment station there Informed him that the soil would be furnished him at 50 cents a hundred pounds, just the cost of procuring and
drying it.
About 200 pounds of this infected
soil is sown with the alfalfa seed on every acre of land. Mr. Mattingly
says every man owes something to the community In which he lives and he
Is willing to spend some money that
others mav profit by his experience.
If alfalfa can be produced here suc
cessfully, it will be one of the most
profitable crops thae Marshall county farmers can raise. Mr. Mattingly is
always thorough in whatever he undertakes and the farmers of Marshall
county will; know within the next year, or two years at least, whether or
not this crop can be raised success-full?.
If it can, the farmers will be wear
ing diamonds in a few years and if it cant Mr. Mattingly is the only man who will suffer loss.

Memorial of Major William M. Kendall, Adopted by Cyrene Council No. 499, Royal Arcanum, Plymouth, Indiana. When it was made known that Major William M. Kendall had
suddenly died, alone, at his store about ten o'clock Monday evening, Feb. 17th, a feeling of gloom and sadness was manifest throughout the city of Plymouth and vicinity. There was a sense of personal loss which quickly found expression in words of sympathy for the stricken wife and children. All said a noble citizen had been taken from our midst; a good man had fallen, which is one of the highest tributes of respect and esteem that can be given to any man. He has lived in our midst a full half century, and few men, if any, were more generally or favorably known. He came to Plymouth with his father at the age of twelve years, his mother having previously died, and his father dying two years later, he was left an orphan at the age of fourteen years. Being a good penman, apt in figures and a bright, energetic boy, he secured the position of deputy clerk of Marshall county and held the place for three years. He inherited a noble spirit of patriotism from his New England ancestors, and though having been married but a short time, when the call to arms was made, he bade good-bye to his brave young wife and entered the service of his country. His first act was to raise a company of volunteers, comprised of equally brave young men of Marshall county, which was afterward known as Co. D, 73rd Indiana Regiment. He was elected captain of the Company and at once went to the front. He participated in many battles, and was finally captured with others of his Company, held a prisoner for about 22 months, during which time he was commissioned a Major of his regiment. In recognition of his faithful service to his country he was mustered out with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, by brevet. His military record was that of a brave and valiant soldier. In civil life he was careful in the performance of duty. He served as post master of Plymouth for a period of sixteen years, being first appointed by President Grant in 1869. He also served one term as president of the Board of Education. He filled these positions with his strong personality and acceptably to the public. Some men move like a band of music as it passes down the street flinging out pleasing strains on every hand to those who may listen. Such a man was Major Kendall. He had a pleasant smile and a kind and cheery word for the children as he met them on the street. They expected it and he never failed them. His friendship was of an enthusiastic nature. He believed with Emerson that the only way to have a friend is to be one. He was true to his friends. He enjoyed especially the comradeship of the old soldiers of the civil war and took great interest in the younger soldiers of the Cuban War. Perhaps no place was more dear to him than the Sunday School of the M. E. church of this city, of which be was superintendent for twenty years. The children of those days will long remember his interest in their spiritual welfare. He was a man of strong religious convictions. He was a member of the M. E. church fifty-seven years, and an influential officer for over thirty years. He believed that "Whatever creed be taught or land be trod, Man's conscience is the voice of God." He had well settled convictions in regard to the great questions that agitated the public mind, and never hesitated to give a reason for his opinions, but was considerate of those with opposite views. In politics he was a strenuous republican. His chief delight was with his family and home, which was always a rendezvous for the young people. The charm of his earnest, genial presence has been an inspiration for years to our people, and though he has crossed the border, its memory will linger as an earnest of his goodly life and his manly example. Few men have been more worthy of the esteem and confidence of their fellow men than was William M. Kendall, and our community can ill afford to spare him. In conformity with his usual care for his family he became member of Cyrene Council No. 496 Royal Arcanum, carrying an insurance on his life for three thousand dollars, which will be promptly paid. In the Council Hall his opinions and advice have been conservative and beneficial. Brother Kendall leaves a widow, Mrs. Hattle E. Kendall, one son, Lee M. Kendall, and two daughters, Misses Mary and Edith, to whom our fraternal sympathy and condolence are tendered.
The funeral rites for our brother were simple and unostentatious being only of a religious nature a fitting sequel to his purity of life. To have lived such a life is of vastly more value than gold or gems to our order and the community, and its influence for good on the young and rising generation is beyond compute. The world is better on account of the life of Brother Kendall, and his memory will remain forever green in the hearts of his brethren and all others whose pathway through life was made smoother and brighter by his love and friendship. "We shall miss thee Along life's trouble track: Thou art at rest from All the storms of life. Sacred, set free, and sainted now to us Is thy familiar name, And ever more, to all our life, A deeper tone is given Since thou hast entered heaven."

Saturday Club's Annual Meeting. The annual Washington's birthday festivities given by the Saturday Club were this year celebrated at the home of the president, Mrs. Mary L. M. Thayer. The Saturday Club has been in existence about fifteen years, and has
grown in strength and that glad bond
of sisterly affection which only those
who have long been associated togeth-
er can understand.
This year the entertainment was of a unique order, and no pains were
spared on the part of its members to
make it as complete as possible. The
entertainment committee, Mrs. Eva
Blaln, Mrs. Eva Underwood and Miss
Florence Smith, arranged a diplomatic reception at the home of Martha
Washington. Mrs. Washington was
represented by the hostess who, with colonial costume, pompadoured and
powdered hair, represented that
historical lady in a highly creditable
manner.
Each lady represented a different
country dressed in national costume
and presented the compliments of her
nation in either song or recitation, afterward being graciously received by
Mrs. Washington. The different
countries were represented as follows;
Spain, Mrs. Rena Armstrong; Ger-
many, Mrs. Ella Simons; Turkey,
Miss Olive Thompson; England, Mrs.
Mary Winings; Canada, Mrs. Gertrude
Reeve; Italy, Mrs. Ada Corbin; Den-
mark, Mrs. Ada Butler; France, Mrs. Anne Martindale; Ireland, Mrs. Fanny
Jilson; Columbia, Mrs. Ida E. R.
Smith. The other members were
dressed as colonial ladies and were in
the receiving party.
After the presentation all were in-
vited to the dining room where a
bountiful supper had been been pre-
pared. Covers were laid for twenty,
a number being absent on account of
sickness. Cards at the back of the
chair indicated where each lady should
sit. Menu cards were placed at the
right and souvenirs in the form of
large red cherries containing appropriate quotations were placed at the
left of each plate. Tall candelabrum
were at either end of the table, candle-
sticks at intervals and a centerpiece
of tiny colored candles arranged in a cut glass dish half filled with water
and made to float in some mysterious
manner, shed a soft light over the
table resplendent with cut glass, sil-
ver and dainty china. Conundrums
and historical questions, written on
buff colored cards tied in the con-
tinental buff and blue ribbon, were
given to the ladies to answer between
courses. A toast was given by Mrs.
Sarah Toan, subject, Martha Washing-
ton, also one on the Saturday Club by
Mrs. Julia K. Blain which, in her
absence, was read by Mrs. Armstrong.
An excellent paper on George Wash-
ington was given by Miss Alice
Klinger after which, while the ladies
were still seated at the table, Mrs.
Underwood sang "Mount Vernon
Bell" from the library opposite.
After supper a pleasant evening
was spent in listening to music given
by Mesdames Thayer, Oglesbee, Cor-
bin, Brooks, Simons, Armstrong and
Jilson, with Miss Florence Smith as
accompaniest.
The program for the evening closed
with the "Virginia Reel" and all
went home feeling that they were in-
deed glad they were members of the
Saturday Club.
A Pleasant Surprise.
Tuesday evening friends to the
number or twenty or more sprang a
surprise upon Miss Ora Vinall at her
home on North Walnut 6treet. Miss
Ora, however, was equal to the emer
gency and provided an eyening of in
teresting entertainment for her young
lady and gentleman friends. Progressive pedro was tbe principal . number
on the program, and at the end it was discovered that Harry VanGilder had
captured the first prize,' a nice book.
and that the youog hostess could re
tain the booby prize. Otto Klingerman v gained new courage from being
in attendance at this delightful eve
ning, as he escaped winning the
booby prize for the first time this win
ter. . Ot says he guesses he can now afford to keep going to parties awhile
loEger. A dainty luncheon was served,
and at a proper and seasonable hour j
MifS, Vinall 's guests bade her a happy
good night and went to their homes
happy orer the pleasant evening they
had enjoyed. A Mystified Stranger.
. A stranger visiting the cemetery at
Bedford read with surprise the following incription on a tombstone: , "A
Lawyer and an Honest man," The
stranger scratched his head and look
ed at the monument again. He read
the inscription over and over. Then he walked all around the ' monument and examined "It closely. "Another man in the cemetery approached and
asked him: "Have you found the
grave of an old friend?" No," said the stranger, 'but I . was ' wondering
how they came to bury those two fel
