More immigrants have arrived at Ellis island this month than ever before during the first two weeks of April. Are these new citizens to be classed among "undigested securities?" More and better immigrants are anding upon American shores tbis year, from the lands over the sea. We have plenty of room for foreigners of the right kind. It is said those who have put in an appearance this year are much above the average in intelligence. Mr. Carnegie's prediction that the United States and Great Britain, including Canada, will some day be one politically, as they are racially, may perhaps come true. At all events, whenever Canada, England or other division of British territory asks to be annexed to us the request will not be denied. ' The more the postoffice department is investigated the worse it appears. And it seems that the civil service law has bad the effect of keeping in the offenders and giving them a monopoly of robbing the public After all, the good old doctrine of rotation in office has some notable advantages, Indianapolis Sentinel. Uncle Jim Hill declares the northern securities decision to be preposterous and intimates that the financiers in Interest will find a way to evade it even if it be affirmed by the supreme court. We may thus see that compliance with the letter and spirit of the law is not obligatory upon our captains of industry and finance. It is creditable to the ways and means committee of the Arkansas house of representatives that, despite powerful political pressure, it has reported a recommendation for the impeachment of Gov, Davis. It will be creditable to the state of Arkansas if the impeachment is consummated, unless all the charges made against Go?. Davis are false and unfounded, which is hardly probable. Probably three years will be required to complete the work to be done by Judges Chipman and Howard by way of codifying the laws of Indiana. The act under which these gentlemen were appointed requires them "to r.port, progress to the next general assembly At that time it .will probably be found that a good deal of the work imposed upon them is unfinished and that an extension of time will become necessary. They receive $3,500 a year until the work is completed. In tones tremulous with indignation and apprehension the Honorable John W. Griggs pronounces the decision in the northern securities case to be "revolutionary." The Honorable John W. Grigg3 may be remembered as the statesman who, as attorney general of the United States, excused his failure to enforce the Sherman law by the declaration that there were no such things as trusts and that the Sherman law wouldn't reach them anyway. Naturally he is somewhat shaken up the St. Paul decision. The $400,000,000 Northern Securities Company, . which holds the stock of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington railroads, must pass out of existence and the other proposed holding companies will not now be formed. Community of ownership will henceforth be possible only when confined 10 individuals and the various plans for the concentration of ownership in corporations will have to be revised. These are said to be the concisions reached by J. Pierpont Morgan after careful study of the merger decision. For some time to come the banker will devote his energies to solving the new problem thus unexpectedly brought up. From the legal standpoint that a corporation is a person, the governor of New Jersey on Friday exterminated more persons than any one ruler ever killed in one day before. By a stroke of his pen he wiped out of existence 927 New Jersey corporations having an aggregate capital on paper of about 240,000,000, but they represented more wind and water than anything else. New Jersey is a paradise for all sorts of corporations, from extracting sunshine from cucumbers to making philosophers' stcne3 out of "red clay. Under the laws of the state the governor may by proclamation dissolve any corporation that is in arrears for state taxes two years. This year there were 927 in arrears, and the governor E-ulTed them out cf lcal lif3. The country will not lzzz tnythirj by c!::: crccutien.

Developments in the Missouri bribery business Indicate that the sessions of the state legislature could appropriately be held in the penitentiary. When the Missouri legislature elected an alum senator the evidence was all in plain sight. No argument has yet been found that can penetrate Missouri Bourbonism. The decision of the United States courts against the Northern securities merger bears out the President's statement that practical efforts to define and regulate trusts are steadily pushed. J. Pierpont Morgan of late has been investing a good deal of money in New York city real estate. That sort of property can not be watered, but in resisting evoporation it beats a merger. . The dowager Empress has interfered with another reform movement in China. Some of these days the old lady will do that once too often and then she will probably die with her boots on. i Uncle Sam is losing no time in looking up the conditions for actual work on the isthmian canal. One of the first steps will be to provide the best safeguards (for the. health of the multitude of laborers. This Is the season of the year when the greater financiers look at the wheat fields of the West for omens of the future rather than to the ups and downs of the Stock Exchange in Wall street. This year the wheat field omens are excellent. The Bible is now widely read in India. At Singapore it is stated the British and Foreign Bible Society will sell the Scriptures in over seventyfive languages and dialects. The Bible has also been translated into sixty-six of the languages and dialects of Africa. Governors will be elected next fall in Ohio, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi. Five of these eight states have democratic governors now. The probabilities are that this ratio will not be maintained. Rhode Island is. normally republican and Maryland has of late years been doubtful. If the rather snappish Interview which Mr. Cleveland is said to have given to a representative of the New York World is correct, it would seem that the ex-President does not appreciate some of the efforts that are being made on his behalf with a view of vindicating him next year. However, one should not form a hasty opinion, but should wait with reasonable patience for the denial. r Postmaster General Payne has returned to Wasbington and announces that the postal department will be thoroughly investigated and all guilty persons punished. If this is done without fear or favor and the foolish civil service rule of once in office always in office, is abrogated in all the aepartments, the government can get good service from its employes, otherwise we shall always have jobs and stealing in every department. The merger decision is being worked for all it is worth by the speculators who hope to make fortunes out of calamity. A sharp decline in securities took place in New York Monday as the result of the effort of the bears to cause a panic. The result of that decision will not be disastrous to any enterprise that is based on real business principles and organized for legitimate business. f The quakings that some combinations are undergoing is pretty positive proof of the supposition that they were organized for purposes of speculation or persecution not for real business purposes. Elkhart Review. An American civilization far antedating the generally accepted limits of pre-Columbian peoples has been traced In Peru by Dr. Max Uhle, director of thie anthropological excavations and explorations of the University of California In that country, where Inca traditions had led scientists to believe Peruvian civilization existed only a few centuries before the coming of the Spaulards. The work of Dr. Uhle has established the facti that a great civilization flourished 2,000 years earlier, at the least, and that a cultured race of higher development than the Incas was In existence before the Trojan war.

The total of Uncle Sam's gold funds stands at $632,000,000, an increase of $7,000,000 labt month and $96,000,000 over the showing a yearago. Mr. Brvan must confess to a large capacity for guessing wrong. There is now no doubt that the friends of Carter Harrison in Chicago seriously consider him as a presidential quantity. They have telegrams from all parts of the country, they say, and from democrats in high authority, who declare that his reelection gives him prominence in national politics as a possible leader of the democracy. The Fedora Club, named after Mayor Harrison, is designed to be the center of a movement to push his name as a presidential candidate. It is said that all of the Bryan contingent could be rallied to Harrison, despite his Infamous record as mayor. On March 14, 1900, there were in operation 3,617 natioral banks with authorized capital stock of $616,308,095. On March 31, 1903, the number of banks was 4,859 and their authorized capital $739,178,695. Of the new banks organized during the period named t enty with a capital over $50,000 were in this state. Those fortynine hew banks had an aggregate capital of $3,030,000. In the country at large during the period from March 14, 1900, to March 31, 1903, the amount of bonds on deposit as security for circulation increased from $244,611,580 to $342,160,770. The figures are Indicative of general prosperity and a healthy increase of circulation. The Weather We Expect Taking one year with another the rainfall and the temperature will average about the same, and if one year is abnormal the next year brings the average right once more. On this theory we are entitled to look for a comparatively dry, warm spring and summer and a late fall. The hope is founded upon th wellknown meteorological fact that the weather "evens up," so to speak, The wet cool weather of the past few days leads some people to fear that we shall have another wet, cool summer, but there , is yet plenty of time for dry, warm weather. Last year was excessively cold and wet, as dealers in summer garments can testify to their sorrow. All summer long there were scarcely three consecutive days of warm weather. For the most part the mercury hung around the 60 mark and the rainfall was far beyond the average. The spectacle of young men tripping through the streets wearing Panama hats, crash suits and low-cut shoes while a fine, cold rain was falling and the thermometer registered 50 or thereabouts was common enough during July. It was only in August that there was anything like summer weather, and that was a brief visitation. - CerUinty of Future Life. On the subject of a future life a Chicago minister puts forth this thought, which while not purely original is certainly worthy of great consideration at this time when so much attention is given to this particular phase of existence. The idea is that life itself i3 a mystery that cannot be solved. - It is beyond the comprehension of the most astute reasoning power of man. Then when w? know that we live here, yet know not how, why is It any great wonder that we should live hereafter. "Is it any more wonderful that we should continue to live than that we should begin to live?" is the query raised by the Chicago clergyman. If God made this life and calls it good, why should he turn about and destroy. There are natural results which bring an end to life upon the earth, but is it not consistent with the whole plan of life to have faith that a resurrection will take place and that life will continue in the mysterious beyond. Another thought is thrown out In this connection which rather destroys the arguments or belief of the infidel and that if as we have existed here without a God why cannot we exist hereafter without a God. The conclusion of every sane and serious mind Is that there is another life and that we shall know each other there as we have known each other here. . . Northern Indiana Pair fates.

MORTUARY

Mrs. Jacob Kelver. Elizabeth Kelver, widow of the late Jacob Kelver, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Katherine Miller, Englewood, Kas., April 6, 1903, aged 83 years, 6 months and 21 days. Deceased was born in Fairfield county, Pennsylvania, married Jacob Kelver, July 25, 1839, at Logansport, Ind., and for more than 60 years they traveled life's journey together. They came to Marshall county 38 years ago and settled on a farm just west of Plymouth, which was their home until they were separated by the death of Mr. Kelver. There their children grew to manhood and womanhood and went out into the world to make homes for themselves and that was the home of Grandma Kelver until a few months ago, when she went to Kansas to reside with her daughter. Mrs. Kelver was one of Indiana's pioneer women, who was always a true helpmeet to her husband and was a good mother, friend and neighbor. She leaves three sons and one daughter to mourn her death---William, Henry, Daniel D. and Mrs. Katherine Miller. The remains arrived from Kansas on the 3:05 train Thursday morning and funeral services were held at her old home two miles west of Plymouth, Friday at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by Rev. A. H. Zilmer and the remains were interred at Oak Hill cemetery. Mrs. Adam Vinnedge. Mrs. Frances Vinnedge died at her home in this city at 11:30 a. m. Saturday, April 11, 1903, aged 63 years, 5 months and 18 days. Only four months ago we chronicled the death of Adam Vinnedge, one of the old settlers of Marshall county and now his companion has gone to join him in the unseen world. Frances Thompson was born in Center township, her father, James Thompson, being one among the first settlers west of Plymouth and was as well known as any man in Marshall county. She grew to womanhood among the pioneers and was a remarkable type of the best women of America. She was well educated and possessed a vast amount of general information and was recognized as a lady in any society. She leaves one son, Harry Vinnedge, of Chicago; two step-daughters, Mrs. Ball, of Walkerton, and Mrs. Hudson Ulich, of Ohio; one brother, Clark Thompson, of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Black, of Belmont, Oka., and Mrs. Harriet Marks, wife of Scott Marks, of Chicago. Her death came as a shock to many friends, for while she has not been in rugged health she was not considered seriously ill until a week before her death. Funeral services will be held at the residence on Laporte street at 2:30 p. m. Monday, conducted by Rev. W. S. Howard, of the Episcopal church, of which deceased had been a member for many years. The remains were interred at the Stringer cemetery by the side of her husband, where also rest the remains of her father and mother and other members of her family. George Rosenbury. George Rosenbury died at the home of his son, Charles Rosenbury, in this city, Sunday evening, April 12, 1903, aged 80 years and 16 days. Mr. Rosenbury was born near Wooster, Ohio, and was one of a family of fifteen children, four of whom are yet living the youngest being 78, and the others 82, 86, 94 respectively. The father of the remarkable family Mr. Oliver Rosenbury died at the age of 82 and the mother at the age of 85. George Rosenbury was married when a young man to Miss Margaret Stansbury, at Canal Dover, Ohio; and they were the parents of fifteen children, five of whom are now living. They are Clemen Rosenbury, of Kansas City, Charles, Oliver and Schuyler of Plymouth, and Mrs. Jacob McDuffie of Big Rapids, Mich. Deceased came with his family to Marshall county, Oct. 31, 1853, and from that time until his death resided in or near this city. He owned a fine farm for many years just northeast of Plymouth which was his home for many years. His wife died there in 1888, and since that time he has made his home with his children. He was in many respects a remark able man. Endowed with great physical strength he was capable of doing a great deal of work and was one of the best stone masons in Northern Indiana. Industrious, honest, conscientious and kind hearted, he was an excellent husband and father and to all the deserving who were in need, he was a friend indeed. He had been for more than thirty years a member of the Methodist church and as a christian possessed the confidence of everybody in and out of the church. Nobody ever doubted the religion of George Rosenbury, and in his death his church and the community lose a man whose place will be hard to fill. His death was caused by a general

breaking down of the system which resulted in heart failure. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday conducted by Rev. A. P. DeLong. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery.

Marion Loyd Walker. Marion Lloyd Walker, eldest son of Mrs. Amy Walker, died at his home in Union township Friday night, April 10, 1903, aged 14 years, 9 months and 11 days.

He was the son of "Will" Palmer, who died a few months ago. He was about 20 years old and his death was not unexpected. FIFTY YEARS OLD. Plymouth Kilwinning Lodge, No. 149 F. A. M.

Bailey in bis usual logical and eloquent style, and the exercises closed with "Auld Lang Syne." Freemasonry ia Plymouth has been a success from Its organization to the present and few lodges in the state have produced so many eminent Masons as Plymouth. Argos Items.

E. E. Myers pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist church. Plymouth, Indiana. Murphy-Fites. Walter G. Murphy and Miss Vernal Fites were united in marrage Wednesday evening, April 8. The nuptial knot was tied at the home of Rev. Martin Luther Peter, Lapaz. The groom is a highly respected young man ot Njrth township. The bride is the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fites, Lapaz. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were kindly remembered with presents. The bride was gowned in a steel gray serge; the skirt being trimmed with white lace medaiions. the waist with a deep yoke of white silk, tucked and edged with a deep flounce of chiffon, trimmed with applique. The young couple will go to housekeeping, northeast of Plymouth, near the groom's home. Their many friends wish them joy and happiness.

Schiefer-Qui vey. A pretty home wedding was solemnized Wednesday at 4 o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Weaver, in Ft. Wayne, when their daughter, Miss Florence Evelyn Qulvey, was united in marriage to Edgar H. Schiefer, of that city. Rev. J. N. Field was the officiating clergyman and Miss Tillie Lindeman presided at the piano. Mendelsshon's wedding march was played as the couple took their places before a tasteful arrangement of palms and ferns, and Mendelsshon's Spring song was played through the marriage service. The bride's dress was of Persian blue cloth with point lace trimmings. A wedding supper was served after the ceremony, the guests at the tables sumbering thirty. Both young people are well known, the bride being prominent in musical circles. Miss Carrie Qulvey, of Jackson, Mich., and Miss Kelty, of Valparaiso, were guests from out of the city. Miss Qui vey was born in Plymouth and her parents resided here until she was quite a girl. She has many relatives and friends in this vicinity. .Chaplains in the Army. There are 55 chaplains in the American army and they are not very evenly divided among the christian denominations. The Methodists lead with 14; Roman Catholics come next with 11 and the Episcopalians the same number. The Presbyterians follow in order with eight, the Baptists have four, the Lutherans and Congregationalists two each, the Dutch Reformed, Christian and Unitarian denominations one each. Tbis does not particularly indicate that certain religious organizations have any pull ,as chaplain appointments like most others come through political influence tnd are made by the secretary of war on recommendation of senators and representatives in congress. Voters Should Not Elect Rascals. Since the discovery was made that the Missouri legislature was controlled by an organized gang of crooks and thieves, people In the state who are likely to suffer from the corrupt legislation are asking if laws passed by men convicted of bribery cannot be declared void. They are informed that there is no way of going bebind the returns and that the laws must stand unless separately overthrown by the courts in regular course; yet, still they fail to understand why a measure created by rascals and passed by fraud shonld be binding upon them. And certainly it doesn't look right. Labor as a Moral Force. There is a belief among certain persons that children can be reared without labor. This is not so and can never . be so. Women , cannot successfully rear families by proxy. They cannot turn over their children to nurses, governesses and school teachers. Many women do this, however, and society here and ; there gathers the dragon teeth in the harvest of crimes against society and moral laws. Work is the greatest moral force in moral laws. Work is the greatest moral force in the world. Mothers who desire to see their children happy, to see them useful, to see them worthy members of society should hold fast to the docotrine of labor. Cleveland Leader. ( More Bunco tor the Farmers. The department of agriculture reports that thousands of letters are beins: received at the department from farmers in various parts of the country asking about a new grain called ."corn-wheat," that some bogus seed firm is exploiting. The department; adyises the farmers that there is no such grain as corn wheat, and it is probable that no hybrid of corn and wheat could eyer be produced, or at any rate none that would be fertile. The grain that has caused the citation is properly called Polish wheat, and his come value as food fcr

Forcible and -Truthful Words. 4 Here are some words uttered , by President Roosevelt that contain a great deal of truth snd force. They apply as he used them to trusts. But they apply also to all forms of united endeavor for the promotion of individual or class interests, for the exercise of greater power by concentrating it in fewer administrative hands, ne spoke in words that ring with the true reality of all social relationship, and declared that "the law is not to be administered in the interest of the poor man as such, nor yet in the interest of the rich man as such, but in the interest of the law abiding man, rich or poor. We are no more against organizations of capital than against organizations of labor. We welcome both, demanding only that each shall do right and shall remember its duty to the republic. Such a course we consider not merely a benefit to the poor man, but a benefit to the rich man. We do no man an injustice when we require him to obey the law. Just Listen to This! And love! Love is the natural beautifier. It logins with the foundations. It makes young the heart, installing it as a veritable fountain of perpetual youth, to pump gladness and enthusiasm through every vein. It imparts physical pose as well as mental. As every , impulse Is filled with tenderness, so does every act become gentle and the bearing that of genuine culture. As every thought is pure and unselfish, so does it leave the Imprint on the face. As optimism becomes a habit, so do the corners of the mouth go up, and wrinkles keep away. As faith and gladness are ever present, so do the eyes flash wide, and the creases of contraction are avoided.
