More money is paid out to pensioners in Indiana in proportion to Its population than to those of any other state in the union. Over g2,675,000 goes into circulation every three months, or 10,700,000 every year. John Alexander powie is arranging for a five months trip around the world in 1904..

Gobin has resigned as president of DePauw university and Dr. Edwin Hughes, of Boston, has been chosen to succeed him Dr. Hughes is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware Ohio, and is 36 years old. Mayor narrison, of- Chicago, was very insistent that the president's reception there should be strictly nonpartisan, ne will not find any partisan politics In the presidents speech, which we give our readers on the last page of this paper. The need of reform in Chicago is emphasized by the fact that a member of the city council was held up in broad daylight by three thugs and robbed of $300 in the presence of about 50 astonished people who seemed powerless to prevent the robbery. Dr. Sherman Johnson, of this city, has bought the office fixtures and furniture of Dr. Ringle, cf Tippecanoe, and is new located there.

Unfortunately, however, there is a great boom in the ready-to-eat all day product, and as a result the poor are getting poorer and so 'are the fat. There is the basis for a pretty good farce in the story of a German cishier who robbed a bank of $70,000 because he had not been elected one of its di

rectors and then forced the board to agree to pay him $6,250 and promise him a pension of $900 in order to get their money back. President Roosevelt received a great welcome in Chicago and Evanston Thursday, surging crowds in the streets giving him greeting. He was cheered by thousands as he entered the city and applauded by the workingmen as bis train sped through the manufacturing. districts,! . Melville W. Miller of Lafayette, the new assistant secretary of the interior, is highly elated over the fact that the record for pension appeals decided was broken in March, his first month in office. The number of appeals decided was 1,600 which is 300 more than ever decided in one month. During the month of March Wm. Stafford's 28 hens laid 576 eggs or nearly 21 each. Mr. Stafford is firmly Impressed with the opinion that poultry raising will pay big and it will not be surprising if he quits measuring boards and devotes his time exclu sively to the festive v hen. Argos Reflector. Now that the warm days are here the absence of the familiar figure of Hon. Charles H. Reeve, is commented upon. While he has been in declining health for several years he was generally out in nice weather, and eyerybody is sorry that his condition this spring is such that he cannot leave his room. A Philadelphia girl has sued a hospital doctor at the rate of $322 a square inch for skin e removed from her to graft on another patient. If some of us could settle at this rate for every time we've been skinned, some o( our most strenuous competitors would prove to have been our best friends. President Morrissey, of Notre Dame university, arrived home Thursday night after an eleven weeks' stay in Texas where he went for his health, ne is greatly improved and will at once assume charge of his duties at the university which have been in the bands of Vice-President French since February. jForbes, the seed man, received 50 bushels of Canada peas Tuesday morning and they were all sold before noon Thursday. Canada peas are proving a profitable and popular crop with the farmers of this county. They can be sown very early and hog can be turned in on them in July and fatten rapidly without any grain. All they need In addition to the peas is plenty of water. Th members of the Wabash Grocers' Association have voted to continue the union delivery service for another year, the experiment haying proved such a success that the grooers have no desire to return to the old plan of owning and running their own wagons. This is the second year of union delivery there and the grocers declare, that the service is better and the cost much lec3 than under the old plan. z-T7'

The general public, which suffers most in the end from strikes, will be able to cast aside any immediate anxiety concerning the strike of the softcoal miners. Spring is at hand, and a very little coal will do for the present. The reception of President Roosevelt at Chicago was in good form and taste. The politicians kept in the background, the people were enthusiastic and behaved well, and the university exercises lent dignity to the whole occasion. II. L. Foglesong has been quite sick for several days. His illness started with the grippe, which settled in his hip and he had to submit to an operation a few days ago. ne is doing fairly well at this writing Friday. Walkerton Independent.

Geiselman, better known as Walter Geiselman, died at his home at Culver Friday night.

George M. Ray, for twenty years editor of the Shelbyville Democrat, was convicted of fraud bribery and corruption in county affairs and sent to the Michigan City prison. He was released on parole Friday night and will locate in Chicago. Ray is a man of ability, but like many other men wanted to get rich quick regardless of loss to other people. A party of '1,800 British emigrants left Liverpool Monday, bound for the northwest territories of Canada, where the fine wheat crops of recent years are proving a great attraction to settlement.

The wedding will take place within two weeks. Mr. Morrison was recently divorced frenn his wife, Mrs. Clara Morrison, who is now believed to be living in Detroit. Laporte Herald. A Great Invention in Plymouth. There are washing machines and washing machines, indeed it is said tbat more patents have been taken out for washing machines and churns than for any other fifty articles or machines in the United States. But a man who has been dealing in washing machines for many years declared in Plymouth this week that the only real washing machine he ever saw, is the machine inyented by David Wiser of this city, which was on exhibition at Kubn's meat market last Wednesday. This is a washer and gasoline stove combined. When the machine is In motion a stream of hot water- and

steam Is constantly pouring through the clothes and every garment is washed clean with very little effort. When the washing Is done or even while it is in progress a gasoline burner can be turned in such a way that a meal can be cooked in the shortest possible time, and the machine is so light and so compact that a woman can carry it anywhere. It can be used In the house or out doors, makes no muss and Is really the wonder of the age so far as such a combination is concerned. It can be made and sold for $8.00 and If capitalists can be induced to take some stock it will be manufactur9d in Plymouth, if not Mr. Wiser will have to establish his factory in some other city. He believes that when Its merits are understood-100 machines can be made and sold , every day. It will, however require a company 'with a c ipital of a few thousand dollars to do this. It is worthy of investigation. While we are looking for outside factories it is worth while to consider those at home.

Christian Endeavor Convention, The Christian Endeavor convention of the second Indiana district was held in Plymouth Thursday and Friday. The attendance was not quite so large as was expected, but there was a good interest and some very fine papers and addresses. The Endeavor is a great field for work and the speakers generally emphasized the necessity of work by the youDg people; holding very properly that the future of this country is now in the hands of the young men and young women as they will soon have to take the places of older persons in dominatiog the work and t'ne thought of the world. Rev. Mr. Medbury, of Angola, Chaplin of tne Third Reg. I. N. G., was the great sneaker of the occasion and is a man of enthusiasm and ability. The following resolutions were adopted just before the close of the convention: Resolved, That the program committee be selected from the district instead of from the society where the convention is to be held, and that the district secretary appoint that committee before the adjournment of the convention. Resolved, That in as much as we all recognize the great evil ot the rum traffic and the need of united effort in opposition thereto, the C. E's. of the district will co-operate with societies that have for their aim the distruction of this great eyil. Resolved, That we express to the several committees our appreciation and gratitude for their efforts which has made the convention a success: Resolved, That we express to the people of Plymouth our thanks for their kindness shown us during our stay among them.
