The Only Republican Paper in the County Plymouth, Ind.. March 5, 1903. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the coronation of Pope Leo was celebrated at Rome on Tuesday In the presence of 75,000 persons. The venerable pontiff was not fatigued by the ceremonies. .. ' , The legislature did good work for South Bend republicans in killing the bill proposed by a few foolish office seekers to take appointments away from the mayor and give them to the governor. It should have been labeled a bill to make South Bend a democratic city. i -, Notwithstanding the fact that certain "Wall street iufluences are still bitterlv hostiie to President Roosevelt, the friends of the latter feel assured that the Nevv York delegation to the republican national convention will be solidly for Roosevelt next year. No break is apprehended. Hon. William S. :Haggard, former lieutenant governor of Indiana, has been chosen as editor of the Lafayette Journal, to succeed a gentleman who has just been appointed as assistant secretary of tue interior. Judge Haggard lsa graceful writer, a man of large experience in public affairs, and a gentleman of kindly dis position. 7CPritchara of North Carolina is the last republican senator from the south. The next congress will not have a single republican either in the senate or the house of. representatives from the South Atlantic or gulf states or from any of the "states that were in the southern confederacy, except two representatives frqm East Tennessee. This is the first time such a situation has occurred slue? the war. Governor Durbin is kept very busy nowadays in examining legislative bills submitted to him for approval Up to the close of-Jast; week be had signed 51 bills and-vetoed 2. Ite had ample time to examine them. It will be different with bills now before him and still being added to. Necessarily their examination must be hurried as this is the last ,week of the legislature. But he is familiar with most of the bills that will pass arid will generally know just what he is doing when be allows a bill to become a law. The terms if'thirty members of the United States senate expire on the'3d of March, but curiously enough the political balance of power will remain the same. This is very seldom the case. Never before have so large a number of changes occurred xwithout affecting thfe political complexion of the body. Sixteen of the thirty outgoing senators b?,ve been re-elected. Of the newi members elected four republicans hive been succeeded by democrats and four democrats have been succeeded b republicans. This leaves the large republican majority In the senate unchanged. ; The returns of Arthur Pue Gorman as United Spates senator from Maryland, supplies a long felt want In the democratic Jarty. Since he and David B. Hill retted and Vest lost his health the democrats have been witnout a competent trader upon the floor, and no man ti the party can fill that responsibly i position so effectively as Mr. Gorm. He .was born to command, and when he takes control .of affairs in bis ,quiet way, with his soft voice and gracious smile, no man In public lifer except Allison pan accomplish a purpose so promptly and so accurately jas he. DuriDgtbe interregnum several of the younger democrats have attempted leadership, but liave made a mess of it.

"I certainly cannot treat mere color as a permanent bar to holding office any more than I could so treat creed or blrthplaci" says President Roosevelt to Clark Howell. Commenting 00 this the Chicago Chronicle a democratic pdper, - thinks Roosevelt Is right. But it says that is precisely vf hat southern politicians expect him to do as a 'condition precedent to that reconciliation which was supposed to have been completed by co-operation In waylayiag and whipping that old cripple, Spain. .'-For those politicians there can be no reconciliation on any other tasis than that of reducing the African to a - hopele3 pariah and outcast no matter what his individuals merits may be." President Roosevelt's letter to Ho v. ell has . probably convinced tbs southern people that he V7ill not CTcrve from what h3 believes i3 riht and that in making appointments 1:3 v;lu cct bz influenced by creeds, nationalities or color. His l:tt:r iz not czzz-zl In uncertain 1 -ri'pc.

The Aldrlch bill to authorize the acceptance of bonds other than those of the Unittd States as security for government deposits in national banks has been defeated by a democratic threat of filibustering.

And now Austria sends a diplomat to Washington who has an American wife. It begins to look as if the American girl were wielding a greater influence in international politics than her most aggressive sisters in this country ever dreamed. Now that the president has called an extraordinary session of the senate to consider the pending treaties, it is not probable that Senator Morgan will undertake to talk the Panama treaty to death, but should he do so the senate could arrange to take a few days' vacation, leaving Mr. Morgan at his speech Senator Tillman declared Monday that the democratic senators were the victims of a confidence game played upon them by the most cunning politician in the United States, Matthew Stanley Quay, by deadlocking the senate on the statehood proposition. Tillman says that Quay's real purpose was not the admission of territories, but the prevention of additional trust legislation. There can be no sounder proposition than that of Representative Cannon that "the majority of a legislative body has the right to do business." It seems not to be generally recognized in Washington, but it Is the fundamental principle of parliamentary government. When one man, like Senator Morgan, is permitted to talk against time day after day to prevent a yote on a most important question the majority surrenders it right and one man rules with despotic sway. THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT. . As to the fourteenth constitu tiona amendment it would seem to be no more than just to enforce it by reducing the representation of all states In proportion to the number of adult males they disfranchise, savs the Chicago Chronicle, democratic. There is no more justice in the representation by white men of black men whom the whites disfranchhie than there would be In the representation of railroads and factories and other property which has no power to vote. Poultney Bigelow, the lecturer and newspaper correspondent, sajs that Germany would have no trouble in landing 100,000 troops on American soil in case of war with the United States, before we could pull ourselves together. The military authorities who give out the information as to what Europe could do to us in a few hours' notice are not nearly so terrifying now as they used to be before we saw what our troops could do against Spanish regulars on their own ground, and what the boasted British army could not do in South Africa. The foreign troops which come across the Atlantic, to show the people of this country how will never cost their gov ernment anything for return passage. THE DELAWARE RGHT. Monday the Delaware legislature elected two senators, and the state will be fully represented in the United States senate for the ärst time since 1897. It has bad no senator since 1901. One of the new senators is not only an Addicks man, but an intimate friend and a business and political associate of Addicks. This is J. Frank Allee, who was elected for the long term. The other one is L. Heisler Ball, at present a representative from Delaware. He is an antl-Addicks man, and was defeated for congress last fall by the action of Addicks ' in forcing the nomination of another republi can, Byrne, the man whom the senate recently refused to confirm as district attorney. This gives the republicans two more senators and increases the republican majority two votes in the United States senate, . . The Tribun? Better, Trun Ever. ""The Plymouth .Daily Chronicle, which was launched Dec. 1, expired with Saturday's issue. Its end is like most such enterprises started to drive out an old established paper. It is said to have cost the politicians who backed it about $2,000 for their three months' experience. And the Daily Tribune, the republican paper it was meant to kill, is better today than ever.

A SUCKER A MINUTE

A Story Hard to Believe But it Made Millions for E. J. Arnold & Co. Eight million dollars in two years, Three hundred and thirty-three thousand dollars a month. Fifteen thousand dollars a day. This is the stupendous fortune which grew from a 'shoestring" thrown out to the public from the hands of "E. J. Arnold & Co.," the original "get-rich-quick" swindlers. Arnold & Co." number their victims by the millions, While the public was handing in Its money with reckless prodigality, Arnold & Co., were spending it on trotting horses, carriages, costly paintings marble palaces, opera boxes and society. Never before in the history of duplicity has such a barefaced swindle been so successfully carried out. Magnificent offices were those of Arnold & Co., in St. Louis, in Chicago, In Washington. Your feet sank Into priceless carpets as though into snowdrifts. Turf pictures adorned the walls. A Sunday school quiet pervaded the air. There were desks of quartered oak, beautiful chandeliersbeautiful girls drumming away at typewriters, mail men opening money bags and money letters, cashiers working day and night to keep track of the torrents of mrushing gold. " Arnold the millionaire, was plain Bob Skidmore who in former days had often missed a meal because he did not have money to procure it. He and Gil Lumpkin, a broken down broker who had brains but had been fleeced in Wall street formed the scheme for fleecing the public. They went to St. Louis and rented modest offices in a business building. They argued that St. Louis, being in the center of the country, they would rind their subscribers more accessible. They hired a writer of advertisements who was a . wonder in his way. Small ten-line advertizemeots began to appear. These brought In returns sufficient to pay their office rent. The business grew. From a small trickle of customers it became a torrent an avalance whicn all but swept them off their feet. They grabbed the money with both hands. They hired men whose duty It was to take in the money, count it and hand it over to them. With the appearance of page advertisements in the newspapers the receipts began to run up to $5,000 a day. And still it grew.' The . advertisements ' themselves were wonders in their way. No lover of mysteries and lead-pipe cinches could throw them aside without reading them to the end. Once read, out came the pocketbook, &nd off went a bill to E. J. Arnold & Co., to be used at their discretion. They might use It for cigars, or for rum, or for a square meal at Tony Faust's but you would never know it. "A good thing will be cut loose tomorrow," the typical advertisement would read; "We are on with both feet. Ten to one will be the lowest odds. Get your money down and plunge for the limit. Plunge! Plunge! Plunge! "You can't fool our 'dockers.' Here is what 'Dopy' Dave discovered in the gray dawn yesterday. Lying in the alfalfa inside the track; he saw a stable door open and a horse come out, led by a jockey in his store clothes. The trainer was behind him watching on all sides for spies. -"As before remarked, our 'dockers' know their business. They are wise to every move. 'Humpy Sam was in a tree, and caught the start. 'Dopy' Dave had him at the quarter, pinker ', at the half, 'Nosy' at thelmlle a second faster than the time has ever before been made on the track. "Caa you beat this? "And the horse? We propose to make the biggest killnigpf the year on him today. 'Get in on the game at once, and send in a plunge. It will be 'home alone on the bltsky' for him. Can you beat this? It Is as easn as tackling a baby for a milk bottle." . Tens, hundreds, thousands, yea, tens of thousands of dollars would roll in on such tips as these; but alas! there was no "gray dawn trial." There was no horse. There was no "Dopy " Dave or "Humpy" Sam or "Nosy," or anything like a lead pipe cinch. There was nothing, in fact, but burned up money on the part of the public. And the most astounding part of it all was the hard and brassy assurance of the tipsters. v As time passed on and the golden tide increased, "E. J. Arnold & Co.'' established luxurious branch offices in Washington and Chicago. Their receipts increased to $11,000 a day, which meanf; at least $10,000 daily profits, as they seldom returned anything.

Dr. Lehigh, pastor of the first Baptist church, united in marriage Dr. Emory West Reeves, of this city and Miss Ada Simmons Foote, of Lake Bluff, Illinois.

Celebration ot Pope's Coronation Tuesday evening the young men's society, the choir and the school of St. Michael's church gave a fine entertainment to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the coronation of Pope Leo XIII. The program consisted of songs and recitations by the children, fine music by the choir and tableaux by the young men's society showing by allegory the pope's relation to the nations, his coronation, and giving his blessing. There was a large attendance and it was a fine and appropriate celebration of an important event of the church. THE PROGRAM Piano Duet . .... F. Haines and M. McNeff God Bless Our Pope.....

Takes an Optimistic View. Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary of the Dublin landlord and tenants' conference and who has just returned to Ireland from a visit to the United States, describing this visit said. "President Roosevelt, who is himself half an Irishman, and extremely proud of it, received me most cordially. I believe there is nobody in the United States more anxious than he for Ireland's welfare. "Referring to the Dublin conference, Mr. Roosevelt said: 'I am not speaking now as a politician when I say that, in company with the whole civilized world, I heartily welcome the prospect of a final settlement of the Irish land question." Captain Shawe-Taylor concluded the interview by saying that during his visit to the United States he met Irishmen of all shades and degrees of political opinion, and he added: "I have the highest possible authority for making the statement that a final settlement of the land question, by removing the barrier now existing between Ireland and England, will greatly improve the relations between tbe United States and England, and will also link in closer friendship Canada and the rest of the British empire." Sayre Trims Allowances. The general appropriation bill was taken up by the House Monday in committee of the whole, with Representative Ralph Bamberger, of Marion county, as chairman. The various items were approved with little discussion or amendment until the appropriations for the Appellate Court were reached. The committees that prepared the bill left out any allowance for stenographers for the Appellate judges. Mr. Mummert moved to amend by allowing each judge $500, as was done two years ago. Mr. Sayre fought the amendment and won by an overwhelming vote. The Supreme Court judges' allowance of $500 for stenographers was incorporated in the bill and was not disturbed in committee of the whole.

Sunday at the Christian Church. . The Christian church, worshiping temporarily in Kuhn's Auditorium, had a good day Sunday. The Sunday schcol which meets at 10 a. m. reached the highest number present in the history of this congregation. The sermon at 11 o'clock was by the pastor, O. E; Palmer, hissu jectwas; "A Step Between Me and Death." It . was taken from the language of David to Jonathan when Saul was seeking to take his life, when David felt that his life hung by so slender a thread. It was really a crisis in David's life, and the chief thought of the sermon was that many of the crises of human life hang upon small events or circumstances. "Who knows how many of the people we shall meet tomorrow may be passing through a spiritual crisis? The words we speak, our influence, manner and conduct may determine the result ot these crises. Many times the seeming trivial events tip the scale one way or another in the settlement of the weightiest of human problems. May the great God give us wisdom and grace to live such staunch christian lives and be so Christ-like in our deportment that, in so far as we may figure In these events, we may be saviours to men everywhere in the crises of life." The.sermon elicited the closest attention throughout. The Christian Endeavor consecration service at 6 p. m. was especially interesting, and again at 7 o'clock Mr. Palmer preached a strong sermon on "The Philanthropic Mission of Christ." Boys' Class No. 3, of the Christian Sunday School, Miss Alice Place, teacher, was entertained at the home of theSupt., Mr. J. Ellison Miller, last Thursday night. It was an occasion of honor to the boys for having the largest average attendance of any class In the school during the month of February. The boys report a fine time

Board of Commissioners. The commissioners met in regular session Monday morning and at once proceeded to business. There were more than the usual number of applications to sell liquor and it is evident that those who think it necessary to tip the flowing bowl will not be deprived of the privilege if they keep within the law. Licenses were granted to A. H. Titus, Bourbon; Frank Melvin, Bremen, Albert Haslanger, A. H. Morsches and John W. Wolford, Plymouth, Ira J. Kreighbaum, , Tyner, Thomas McCullough, Lapaz; Andrew A. Vorhees, Culyer; Leroy Kanouse, Argos; James T. Poülson, Tippecanoe. The accounts allowed at last session were audited and found correct; several roads were vacated and viewers appointed for roads petitioned for; the report of Superintendent Kruy er of the county farm was examined and approved: the viewers of the O'Keefe ditch in Center township were granted more time; George Heyde was appointed constable of Walnut township; Nathan Watson was appointed justice of the peace to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Louis Vernette, cf Bourbon township: allowances made by Trustee Brewer, of Walnut township, were approved and other matters of minor importance considered before adjournment today. Industrial School and Prison. Governor Durbin, Tuesday, informed the friends of the Goodwine bill for the separation of the Girls' Industrial school from the Women's Prison, that be would not sign it as it passed the general assembly. He did not veto the measure. At once a new bill was introduced in the senate containing features the governor thought- should not have been omitted from the other bill, and the new measure was passed under a suspension of the rules. The bill will be hurried to to, the house for similar action, because the separation of the institutions is re garded by many as the most important legislation before tbe general assembly. The bill was prepared by the board of state charities. Argos Items. Miss Malinda Hoffman visited with J. P. Hoffman and family Sunday. Mrs. Thornberg, of Walnut visited Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. J..' P. Hoffman and, family. The Argos Schools opened last Wednesday morning as there were no new cases of scarlet fever reported. The W.

CRIMEPUZZLESOLVEI

( Authorities Know Who It Was That Robbed the Chicago Postoffice of 675,000. CLEARING UP A EIG FUS STEAL X.ets the Light on a Daring Deed That lias Long Ba fried tbe Secret Service Chicago, March 2. Attorney Richard Wade was found guilty Saturday of receiving stolen property and disposing of it. The value of the property is fixed by the jurors at $1S3, entailing a penitentiary sentence. Wadewas on trial with Margaret Winter and Thomas McXelly. Mrs. Lulu Moll changed her plea to guilty and was a state witness. By direction of Judge McEwen the jury found McXelly and Mrs. Winters not guilty and dismissed them, leaving only Wade to be tried. Wholesale Robbery of Furs. The property in question was a shipment of furs stolen in Clinton, Ia., by Charles Moll, husband of Mrs. Moll. Furs valued at $8,000 were shipped from Clinton in one night. Mrs. Moll obtained the storage receipt from her husband, and told Wade of it Hesaid he could dispose of anything, "from a postage stamp to a frame house, for iX) cents on the dollar," she said, and he and the woman secured the furs and shipped them toChicago. Wade then sold them to a' State street furrier. 8olvea a Much Larger Problem. AH the foregoing, however, is only the prelude to a more Important matter. Since the close of Wade's case State's Attorney Deneen has announced that he has come into possession of proofs showing who robbed, the Chicago postoffice on Oct 20, 1901, of postage stamps valued at $74,G01. The state's attorney, through a full confession made by Mrs. Moll learned how the proceeds of the postoffice robbery were divided, who dug the tunnels under tue building, who bored the holes in the floor of the steel vault and where the plunder was stored. Bad Luck In Store fer MolL Mrs., Moll broke down In State' Attorney Deiieen's office and admitted the truth of the evidence against the postoffice robbers. Charles Moll, husband of Lulu Moll, and one of the most daring and dangerous crooks known to the police of the United States, is now serving a term In the Michigan penitentiary for burglary in Lansing. Richard A. Wade sprang Into prominence when he defended Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Carter H. Harrison. WOMAN IS SUSPECTED XOW CleTeland Polle, However, XI are Vet Found Bnrdlckii Murderer, Buffalo, N. Y., March 2. The body of Edwin L. Burdick, who was mur dered at his home on Ashland avenue last Thursday night, was yesterday taken to his former home inCanastota, N. Y., for burial. Mrs. Burdick, her three children, and two close personal friends went with the body. The authorities have not given out any late Information as to their work in attempting to run down the murderer. The police are inclining to the theory, however, that the crime was committed by a woman. The lines upon which the police are now working indicate that their belief is that the murderer will be found among the close acquaintances of the dead man. The district attorney openly expresses the opinion that somebody in the Burdick social circle murdered the club man. The circle was composed of a number of married couples young or In the prime of life. They were intimately acquainted socially. The circle has' been disrupted by more or less scandal. In fact several divorce suits have grown out of it, according to the district attorney. The finding of a tuft of hair on Burdick's body, which at first appeared to be a promising clue, ' apparently has fallen .flat The police have found the weapon with which Burdick was murdered. It Is a steeltipped golfer's "putter." Where they get it the officials refuse to say at present HE RED ITT IN TBE KNAPP CASE HieMoth m Descendant of Commodore Perry, the Her of Lake Erie. Hamilton, O., March 2. Alfred Knapp, the inultl-murderer of women and children, has prospects of a short life. His trial will ,be pushed and court will hold a special session to push. it. Insanity will be the defense plea. Knapp denies all stories about shipping the body of Hannah Goddard to Indianapolis.. He also denies the story that he has a child in the asylum at Fort Wayne. It is a curious fact for the advocates of the heredity theory that the mother of Alfred Knapp is a grand niece of Commodore Perry, the hero of Lake Erie. She is a native of Dearborn county, Ind. Cyrus L. Knapp, the father (of the prisoner, formerly held the office of recording scribe of the Patriotic Sons of America at Indianapolis. His father fought in the Mexican war. Knapp does not use tobacco in any form and was not known as a drinker. He is quite a reader and Is kept supplied with reading matter other than news. Bant Fe Men Get a RalM. Topeka, Kan., March 2.
