Plymouth, Ind., May 7. 1903. Honesty and common sense should be used in dealings betweea capital and labor. These words were spoken by President Roosevelt last week at Omaha, eb.

Governor Durbln's threat to recommend to the general assembly the removal of the state university from Bloomlngton bad the desired effect. It brought the citizens of the pUce to their senses.

The Brooklyn Eagle has put MrCleveland in nomination for the presidency as a democratic candidate. But do the Eagle and Mr. Cleveland be long to the democratic party at present in existence.

The average output of pig-iron for the month of April was nearly 38,000 ton a week, and all records are being broken in this industry. The freight blockade has partially let up, which has given a new impulse to the iron and steel trade. There were elections for town officers in all the towns of Indiana Monday.

While there were party tickets in

most places the elections have very little political significance, as -local

issues and personal popularity gener ally determine the result.

Irving M. Scott, "the man who

built the Oregon." died recently at

hu hnmn in San Francisco. He was

j - v m v - at the head of the Union Iron Works

in that city where he began at the

bottom of the ladder in his boyhood.

The battleship Oregon, was built

junder his supervision, which gave him a wide reputation.

Whatever the democratic Jarty may

think of it, Groyer Clevelaad Is Its'

foremost member, and not the least

of bis merits is that be sometimes agrees with republicans on important

issues.

The wall street magnates are growlinf ominously at President Roosevelt because of bis strong and antitrust views. They are making threats of revenge and talk of fighting his renomination. II we are to judge a man by the enemies he makes then Roosevelt is all right, as he is in sympathy with the common people. Intelligence comes from Sweden that Prince Oscar Bernadotte, son of the reigning monarch, has taken up tbe work of" an evangelist and devotes much of his time to holding prayer -meetings and distributing tracts. , As these are held to be pursuits most singularly at variance with the ordinary princely relaxations such as getting drunk, gambling and pursuing ballet dancers, it is the general impression in Europe that his royal highness is crazy. , ' The suspicion that ex-Congressman Charles L. Henry bought the Indianapolis Journal with a view to securing an election to the United States senate possibly with a view to succeedAlbert J. Beveridge-would seem to be wholly groundless Asa rule the control of a political paper-is not considered conducive to political advancement. A paper tbat expresses opinions of a positive character and only that kind of a paper couüts for anything nowadays will inevitably take enemies, and making enemies is not helpful in the matter of getting office. Mr. Henry doubtless understand this as well as any politician' in this great commonwealth. South Bend Times.

Chicago people look to Jane Addams of Hull House In many emergencies. The other night the little woman was aroused at midnight to meet a committee of firemen in the parlor. Stables had been burned in the nefghbor. hood, and horses were Injured, but not killed. There is a city lavr which requires a special order of court to shoot a horse within the city limits. This order could not be obtained until morning. Horses were suffering with no hope of relief but death. "Miss Addams, can't you give us an order to shoot them?" asked the burly fireman. "I have no legal authority, but I will. take the responsibility," gald the little woman. They drove over to the place and she stood by to gee the injured horses t hot. -

It is said that Lord Dunmore, at the head of an English oil company, with a capital of 10,000,000, is buyEng oil lands in Indiana, Ohio and Texas with a view of shipping the crude product to England. Another Lord Dunmore once operated. in this country, but not in the oil fields. As royal governor of Virginia from 1771 to 1775 he got into a war with the Virginians before the revolutionary war began, in which h3 burned Norfolk, plundered the coast and otherV7l:e made himself so odious that he was driven out of the country. In 1776 he returned to. England. The present Lord Dunmore is doubtless a Cececndent of bis, but it is to be fccped bo hoped he will get along with Amcricrs titter than hi3 ancestor

Pennsylvania Supreme Court de

cides that Christian Scientists cannot

practice art of healing or curing dis

ease in that state, holding that their

methods are Injurious to community

and opposed to policy of health laws.

"If President Jefferson's doubts and

wonder," says ex-President Cleveland,

"had been allowed to control his ac

tion, we might have lost the greatest opportunity which has been presented

to our people since the adoption of the

constitution." Expansion has not

been restricted to any one party. It is the American conception when the hour of duty strikes.

The Brooklyn Ea?le thinks that no

prominent supporter of Bryan should

be nominated, for president by toe

democratic party. This leads the

Washington Post to ask if it would be possible to elect any democrat who did not support Bryan. These two views of the matter will- require a great deal of consideration by the party if they are harmonized so as to bring success.

James B. Marcum, who was shot from behind and killed in the corridor of the courthouse at Lexington, Ky., on Mcnday, was one of the best known lawyers in eastern Kentucky. He is said to be the thirty-first victim of a fud growing out of an election concoruest in one of the mountain counties of Kentucky. Sixteen of the killings occurred during the last year. Yet Kentucky has an organized government and ranks as a a civilized state.

The addresses of President Roosevelt and ex-President Cleveland at St.

Louis present some marked differences

in point of rhetoric and these are, iu

a sense, characteristic. Nearly all of 2rl i. -Clevelaccik sentences are long ones, several of them containing as

many as 100 words and some of them 150 words. President Roosevelt's sen

tences, on the other hand, are all

short and snappy. The longest sen

tence in his address contains less than

sixtv words and most of them are

shorter.

It is estimated that the World's

Fair receipts will suffer a million dollars or more because of the extremely "raw deal" given the visitors at St.

Louts by the hotel keepers, hack lines

and in fact every one who could extort money from the visitors at the

dedication. The regular pricei were increased frequently 100 per cent and often 1.000 per cent. The Planters' Hotel sought to charge Gov. Durbln and his staff $10 a day each for five days, whereas the contract was only for three days, and the Indiana party left hurriedly to catch its traio, with

out paying, promising to come to

terms of settlement on their return home.

Some of our largest steamships are

being placed on the Pacific ocean.

The acquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines has had much to do with

the trade carried on the Pacific. A

few years ago there were no first-class

modern steamships on . the Pacific

The new steamship Minnesota which was recently launched at New London, Connecticut, is destined to run

between Seattle and the Orient, by

way of Honolulu. This and her sister

ship will only be exceeded in size by

Cedric and Celtic of the White Star line. These vessels are 630 feet long

and have a displacement of 37.000

tons. They have a speed of 14 knots

an hour. The distance from Seattle

to Yokohama is 5,800 miles, which

will require about fifteen days to mat

tbe trip.

Thx Town Elections. The elections in the towns of Marshall county Monday were favorable to the republicans, although politics usually cut very little figure in such elections. . . Culver elected the republican ticket, Argos elected three republican trustees, Bremen elected Jacob Kaufman, republican, for marshal and two republican trustees. Bourbon elected the entire republican ticket except marshal. The majorities for the republican candidates for trustee were as follows: Parks, 22; Mitterling, .47; Glingie, 67. Minzrd .was elected treasurer by 38 and Steinbach clerk by 9. Hetzner, democrat, bad 6 majority for marshal.

The commissioners met Monday morning early and went to work in earn set notwithstanding it was the list day for p-yin taxes and the board of education tad a truant cffleer to elect. At coon Tuesday they had audited all accounts, had granted a Ealoon license to Ziders at Arges, had been to Gei man township and decided to put in a sixty foot bridge over a small stream, decided to replace the Strawderman bridge over Yelbw river with a new bridge and were almost ready for ad

journment which they did in the after-

Beattie-Reeves. One of the most elaborate, beauti-1

ful and largely attended weddings and receptions ever held in this city was the event at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Stephen E. Reeves, on South Michigan street, Tuesday evening, May 5,

1903, when their youngest daughter, Celia Maude, was united in marriage

with Clyde Robert Beattie, a promi-

nent young business man of Plymouth.

It was also the 35th anniversary of

the marriage of the father and mother

of the bride, and Rev. W. R. Mikels,

who married Mr. and Mrs. Reeves

thirty-five years ago, spoke the words

which united their daughter in mar-

riage with the man whom she had

chosen as her partner for life. Rev.

Mr. Mikels was assisted by Rev. A. P. Delong, present pastor of the M. E.

church here, and Mr. Mikels was the pastor here when the church was

built, in this city.

The full and impressive ring ceremony of the church was used. Little Helen Lauer was ring bearer and Etta Matthews, Honor Gibson, Mary Hartman and Helen Armstrong were ribbon girls. Professor Hahn played the wedding march. Miss Laura G. Reeves was bridesmaid and Mr. Otto Stahl best man. The bride was beautifully gowned in white satin moire and the groom was dressed in conventional black. The room was brilliantly lighted and there was a profusion of flowers. The bridal roses were as fine as ever seen in this city and were the gift of Miss Edith Stout, of Dayton, O., a close friend of the bride. After the ceremony and congratulations a splendid supper was served to which almost 200 guests did am=

ply justice.

The bride and groom are both well known and very popular. They will make their home in this city, where they already have a nice home prepared. After the wedding everybody shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, congratulating them on this beautiful and unique commemoration of their 35th anniversary. The presents were very numerous,

useful and beautiful and the event

was one which will be pleasantly remembered by all. Among those present from a distance were Mrs. Bills, of Sheffield, I11., sister of Mrs. Reeves; Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Shideler, Mr. and Mrs. Brink and daughter, of South Bend, and W. F. Beattie, father of the groom, who resides south of Rochester. He Has Learned Something. President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated iron, steel and tin workers, seems to have learned seme very salutary lessons from the strike of 1900, says the South Bend Times (democratic). In his report to the meeting of the convention held in Columbus last week, he made the assertion, "that the convention shall decide that the employer is not our enemy, but is our friend and partner. He has invested his money, his time, his experience and business sagacity. We have invested our time, experience, skill and physical effects, and from mutual investment there should come to each

a fair share of the proceeds of profits

derived from them. The Investor of capital has certain rights which we must grant, but at the "same time he must recognize and grant to us conditions which belong to us, because without our co-operation be cannot succeed, and as a corollary we shall be without employment if be be not with uf . The time has come and I believe It is propitious, when capital and labor, in organized capacities, must unite to oppose and defeat the purpose of their common enemies." - ' . . . PrttidtntiaJ Thnber. Mr. Bryan Is publishing in the Commoner a series of sketches of '' democrats whom he considers available for tbe presidency, ne has already served up United States Senator' Stone ot Missouri and Congressman Williams of Hlinois. There are a number of others to follow. Mr. Bryan has announced with emphasis that be is not, and will not be, a candidate for the democratic nomination next year. But he expects to have a good deal to say about the nominee. If he keeps up his present gait until the convention meets a year from next June, he will certainly have said a good deal. As lit Stosltd lib Victim. "If I bad authority L, would have Truman Beam choked to death as he strangled his victim." With this sensational declaration Justice Dille Saturday afternoon held Truman Beam to await the action of the grand jury as the allege'd strangler of Martha Lawrence aged 19 years at Valparaiso. t The physicians testified at the preliminary examination that Martha Lawrence ,could not have died from her own hand but that every indication bore out the theory that she was strangled to death after an unequal struggle with her murderer.

MADE $I0,C60.CCÖ AFTER SEVENTY

Capt. John Ford. Who Died at Creigh-

ton, Pa., Accomplished a Made. Capt. John B. Ford, whose death

occurred last Thursday night at his

home in Creighton, Pa., a suburb of

Pittsbug. at the advanced age of

ninety-two years, made a fortune of $10.000,000 after being left penniless

at the age of seventy-two. He. was

for many years one of the most extensive manufacturers" in Indiana.

ne was engaged in glass and Iren

manufacturing, and was for years Interested in the shipbuilding interests which flourished here before the war. It was Capt. Ford who demonstrated

to the world the fact that plate glass

could be successfully manufactured in

America. He made In New Albany

in 1871, the first sheet of plate glass

ever manufactured Inthiscountry and established there the first plae glass

factory ever erected on the American

continent.

Capt. Ford was a most remarkable man. ne was born in Danville, Ky., in 1810 and came to Floyd county Indiana in 1832. He remained there just fifty years. His first venture as a manufacturer was a small cutting

box factory in New Albany. Some

years later he established an extensive iron manufacturing plant and later a glass works plant which grew to be one of the largest institutions of the kind in the world. Plate glass, window glass and glass bottles were manufactured in the same plant. In 1882 Capt. Ford failed in business here. At the age oi seventy-six years he left New Albany without a dollar. He went to Pittsburg where he interested capitalists in the glass manufacturing business, ne continued In that business until three years ago when he retired with a fortune of $10,000,000. Capt. Ford was succeeded in the glass manufacturing business in New Albany by the late Washington C. DePauw. Fir.c Stock Sold. C.T. Mattingly shipped two very tine calves, a bull and a heifer, to Medaryville Monday. They were sent by express to II. V. Clark, a prominent breeder who is willing to pay a good price for the very best stock. The calves were double standard polled Durhams which gives them more than ordinary value for breeding purposes.

A question of importance arises

right here. It is this. Why do Marshall county farmersallow the best stock to go out of the county? Or why is it that so much more attention Is given

b7 most of our farmers to good hogs

than to good cattle? There is certaiuly profit in raising good cattle and cattle enrich a' farm to a greater extent than any other stock. If farmers will take the trouble to observe the sections bf country where land sells for $100 per acre, they will find that farmers there keep the very best cattle and raise and ship large numbers every year. The First Expansionist It is somewhat remarkable that In current discussion of the purchase of Louisana territory all the credit for the transaction is given to Thomas Jefferson; It Is true that as President he was prompt in embracing the opportunity to purchase Louisiana when it was presented, but he did not originate and had never before favored the. Idea of acquiring it. His plan went no further than securing by negotiation the. free navigation of the Mississippi - river. Two American statesmen publicly advocated the free navigation of the Mississippi river before . Jeflerson did. These were James Madison and Alexander Hamilton. The former proposed to secure it by treaty and the latter by territorial expansion. When Jefferson be gan to advocate the free navigation of the river he was willing thaUts western bank and its mouth should remain under foreigu ccctrol. Hamilton favored ownership of the river and the country beyond. In 1799, four years before the purchase of Louisiana, Hamilton 'said he had long regarded the acquisition of the territory as "essential to the permanency of the Union. V He was the first American expansionist and the earliest advocate of a continental republic. He blazed the way and Jefferson followed. All. honor to the man who consummated the purchase of Louisiana territory, .but let us not forget that his political rival recognized the importance of the acquisition years before he did. Indianapolis Journal. .Crushed Undtr Log John Williamson, a well known resident of Kosciusko county, was found crushed to death beneath a log in the sawmill yard of Gaskill & Son, at Burket. Mr. Williamson had been hauling logs on Thursday and arrived at the mill yard some, time la advance of a number of other log haulers. His lifeless remains were not discovered until the latter arrived to unload their logs. Indications plainly show that Mr. Williamson was caught under the log as it rolled from his wagon, he bein unable to reach a safe distance

The Triumph is the standard by which all Sulky Plows are compared . By its simplicity, ease of management, great durability and lightness of draft it has popularized Riding 'Plows . . It has many 'exclusive and indispensable features.

THE TRIUMPH enters the ground point down with heel up, and in raising from the furrow the point raises first, with heel down. These movements are produced by simply operating one lever. Other sulky plows use two and somtimes three levers and cranks in their effort to produce the same results. It is equipped with an adjustable lifting spring, which aids in making it easy to handle and largely overcomes the weight of bottom and beam. The children and old folks can operate the Triumph. Come iu and see this twentieth century marvel of simplicitythis perfect Sulky Plow.

A DiKitrous Runaway. . - . . Dr. J. A. Cunningham w?-.ag home Tuesday afternoon jw. :fdre 5 o'clock, having a' surrey whlowJ had got repaired hitcHed behind his medicine wagon. The team wastrottlofif along quietly , when just as he reached the Michigan street viaduct something gave way, the wagou crowded onto the team which became frightened and began to run and kick. In attempting- to hold thera they wheeled squarely around almost upset tbe wagon, threw Mr. Cunningham, out and then ran north as fast as they could. They crossed the riyer bridge at a terrible gait and dashing up Michigan street ran into Mrs. Adam Listenberger's buggy which was hitched in front of Ryan's store. They struck the buggy with such force that the harness was completely torn from the horse attached to it and the buggy wa3 thrown about fifteen feet and badly wrecked. The collision trc-e the .ccdicmo rjon and one of

the horses fell so badly -tangled in tne harness that it took several minutes to extricate him. This stopped the runaway and strange to say the team was not badly hurt but the damage to the two buggies and the harness was considerable. Mr. Cunningham was considerably shaken up but escaped with a few bruises. . -

' DcruJdwn's New Church. The new United Brethren church at Donaldsonwill be dedicated Sunday, May 10, by Bishop E. B. Kepnart, of Pennsylvania, assisted by Rev. W. M. Weekly, of Pennsylvania. Dfnner and supper will be served by the ladies in the basement of the church and there will be services morning, afternoon and evening. The new church is one of the best, largest and most conveniently arranged that can be found in any of the small towns in this section of the state and the people of Donaldson,

without regard to sects or parties aie naturally proud of it and extend a cordial invitation to everybody to attend the services next Sunday. Do the Squire Thing. "The only thing, to do." said the president, at Colorado Springs, "is to do the square thing." . This is such an excellent guide to conduct that it might be well have it emblazoned conspicuously in all the federal offices of the country. Of course, it would require a strenuous campaign of education to get some of the country 's hired hands to believe it, but presistent Instruction by the judges of the federal courts might accomplish the result.
