Plymouth. Ind., May 28,1903. " Reports are current that Secretary of the Navy Moody will soon retire from his present position, and that President Roosevelt has him in mind for a place on the supreme bench or a United States district judgeship. Mr. Moody is credited w ith a fine judicial mind. Clarence S. Darrow, the noted Chi cago lawyer, and attorney for labor trade unionism in an address before the Heiry George association, declaring that many of the organizations are ignorant of the nrinciDles on which a & they are foundeJ. The people of New York are happy over announcement by the governor that no direct taxes for state purposes will be imposed for the year begin ning Oct. 1, 1903, nor for the follow Jng year if the state income from other sources holds up. This has b:en made possible by an increase in the state's revenue of $5,005,750 under a new liquor Ux law. John Mitchell, president of the Miners Union, is after the grafters who cause strikes to be declared on the merest pretext and then declire the strike off iu consideration of $25 or 50. A number of such eases have been brought to the attention of hon est labor leaders who are justly in censed over such sbady transactions and disreputable deals. . Let us all hope that the prediction contained in this observation by the Elkhart Review may not be verified: 'Chicago workmen afe simply strike mad. The worst of it is that before next May a lot of them and their fam ilies will be living on the charity of the societies of that city, and the philanthropy ot the employers whose wages they spurn will' be the only thing thac will give them food and shelter." -' - . Evidently the scandal in Gen. Tyner's department of the post office had some basis. One man. assistant attorney Miller, has been arrested for giving favorable decisions to get-rich-quick concerns, and other arrests are likely to follow. Every case of bribery or malfeasance jn office should be carefully investigated, and if public officials are doing that sort ef business they should be held to account. Elkhart Review MoDday was the centennial anniversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo Emert son. He was born May 25, 1803. A movement to raise $150,000 to erect an Emerson Hall at Cambridge was conditioned on the amount being raised before his birthday. The sum was completed on Friday by a subscription of $1,000 from Alice Longfellow, daughter of the poet, and of 1509 from Mrs, Bayard Taylor. These names recall great literary memories. Our democratic friends seem to be considerably pertubei because under ine apportionment ac& passea dj me last general assembly, the next legislature is pretty sure to be republican. It would be a pretty difficult matter to devise any other result, bat it will be remembered that the last legislative apportionment devised by Indiana democratic leadership made Mr. Turpie senator when Indiana hid gone score than 10,000 republican at the preceding election. It will be remembered that the proposal to give General Grant a third presidential term tarnished a terrible fright to those who make a business of shuddering in the Interests of the republic. Some of the same persons are sow vociferously demanding that Mr. Cleveland accept a third presidential term at their hands. Perhaps the fears of the gentlemen are allayed by the fact that running for the presidency and being elected president are two different things. The signing of the treaty between the United States and Cuba is an important step in establishing permanent relations between the two countries. The incorporation cf the Piatt amendment, word for vrcrd, ia a cutter of. great importance. This provides that Cuba shall never enter into nrrr treat v nr nt.hi pnmrit. wirh nv foreign power which will impair or tend to impair Its Independence. The government is not to assume nor contract any public debt to pay the interest upon which debt a reasonable tlnkinj fend provision for the ultimate payment or- delivery of revenue of the Island, after paying the government expehces, shall be inadequate.

The democratic party has an irre

pressible conflict in lt3 ranks and the line of division grows more distinct as the contest of 1904 approaches. - Senator Hanna, in an interview at Cleveland, said he thought the Ohio state convention should devote its en ergies to the nomination of a good state ticket, and that the matter of an indorsement of President Roose velt for another term should not be brought up. The Chicago Chronicle wants a battering ram used on the. -protection tariff wall." It will be remembered that it was a bull, and not a ram, that played smash in the government's china shop the last time the country made an experiment with the sort of political measures which find favor in the eyes of the Chronicle. The Indianapolis Journal declares emphatically that all the stories about Fairbanks and'Mark Hanna having any financial interest in the Journal are absolutely false. Charles L. Henry says he is the sole owner of the paper and that it is not any man's personal organ nor an instrument for grinding the axes of any man in pub lie or private life, but that it's chief aim, as heretofore, is. to furnish the news and to represent public and party interests to the best of its abil ity. ' The Jackson Democratic club of Kansas City, Mo., has adopted resolu tions relative to the state ad minist ra tion, in which it is declared that the party in Missouri 4 'has become base and cojrupt, " and that "the admin istration of the government of the state is grasped in the clutches of a debased and conscienceless ring of rapacious boodlers, who have trailed the fair name of the state in the dust of dishonor and shame." A pretty frank confession, that, of party putridity. It is fitting that the monetary com mission should study the question of finance and currency from international points of view. It will not be many years before checks and drafts will exchange as freely between financial institutions in the United States, Eng'and, Germany and France as they do now in each land by itself. In readjusting our currency these probabilities might as well be consid ered and settled before compulsion en forces some quick and ill-considered change. Elkhart Review. Daniel V. Miller, an attorney in the postoffice department at Washington. has been summarily dismissed on a charge of accepting a bribe from a Kentucky racing concern, and will be Indicted and tried on the charge. Still the great Washington corre spondents tell us that the charges of corruption in the postoffice department were inspired by the jealousy of men who have been dismissed from office or have not been given the promotions they desired. If this is true it verifies the proverb "when rogues fall out honest men are rewarded." Free silver has lost a scholarly advocate in the person of Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews the chancellor of the University of Nebraska, who in an address before his class in ethics, practically announced that he no longer entertained the views be once held concerning free coinage. This change in his views bad been, he said, gradual in its development, but his opinion is now fixed and definite. Chancellor Andrews says he" had been led by the arguments of public men, and particularly by a celebrated geologist of Europe, who had, after much study and investigation announced that the supply of gold was being exhausted and the world's mines would soon cease to yield a sufficient quantity of that metal. This made it necessary that there be another standard of yalae. Time has proven to the mind, of the chancellor, however, that the output of gold has greatly increased and the supply now seems inexhaustible. It seems that it was John J. Ryan who cansed the arrest of Miller of the postoffice department and Joseph M. Johns, prosecuting attorney of Parke county, Ind. Ryan who was at the head of the turl investment company bearing his name, swore that he bribed federal officials through Johns, who is prosecuting attorney of P.vrke county, Indiana, to allow his concern to do business through the mails. His competitors gave the same officials, he said, 25,000, as against his paltry $5,000 or thereabout. When he refused to give a certain senator $25, 000, a fraud order was issued against his concern. A little later all the concerns that had been conducted because they had bought immunity from prosecution failed and his company vro3 wrecked In the general crash. Ryan admits that he operated for some time at St. Loul3 before the post office inspectors got ' after him and later he was called to 'Washln'jton. J '..:,'.. , -J i ' George G.

. Socne'Trixl On. -The second trial of ilelvlfl Boone,

colored, charged-with the murder of Grocer John Koonsman in South Bend, was commenced In the St. Joseph cir cuit court Monday morning. Anthony Deahl is assisting Charles A. Davey In the defense of Boone. At the former trial the jury disagreed. Both sides are now confident of victory Lively at the Age of 106. A special from Niles, Michigan, says George Ollie, of Carthage, N:Y., who is visiting his grand daughter, Mrs.John Wright, at Niles, Is one of the most wonderful men in the world, if for nothing else than that he is at 106 years old as lively as a kitten and as happy as a boy of 12. He never wore glasses, he reads omniverously, he quotes Shakespeare with dramatic intensity vand feels it too; he has never had rheumatism, walks without' a cone and saws wood the year round. Mr. Ollie is a native of England, but is now quite accustomed to this country, having lived here for a trifle of eighty years. Keach Against "Beer" Campaign. Chairman Keach, of the democratic city committee, came out flat-footed Friday against what be calls a "beer campaign. " He declares he will have none of It this year, if he can prevent it. "And, furthermore," said he, "I hope that in this contest for the nomination for mayor we shall not have any free beer. I hope we shall not see the spectacle of any candidate 'set ting up' beer furnished free of cost by any brewery, and I do not care which brewery it Is. I haven't any intima tion that any candidate will resort to such tactics. If any candidate should undertake to pnrsue that plan It will be for the voters to pass judgment on him at the primary polls. This Is to be a question of good city government. Free beer has got to keep out. ' ' Indianopolis News. Connty Officer! Get Per Diem. An opinion was handed down by Judge Jordan, of the supreme court Friday. In the case of Seiler vs State ex rel. Dekalb county, on the con struction of the tax law, which gives members of the county board of re view $3 a day for services on the board. The supreme court recently held that the county assessor, auditor and treasurer are each entitled to this per diem, as well as the two members appointed by the circuit court and that the county could not recover such allowance from the auditor after It was paid to him, and Friday, in a long opinion as to the construction of the statute, denying the petition for a re hearing, adheres to its decision. A Chicagoan Spoiled. A Chicago man ought not to be allowed to live in any other city. It spoils him for life in Chicago. Here is Lyman J. Gage, ex-secretary of the treasury, complaing that the comparison between the Illinois metropolis and New York, Washington and other eastern cities is "painful." ne lived happily for forty years in Chicago without ever finding out that it was dirty, but a few year in Washington have been like the fatal apple that gave Adam the knowledge of good and evil. Mr. Gage knows dust and smoke now when he sees them, and he is unpatriotically critical. He even goes so far as to intimate that they ought to be suppressed. New York Sun. Big Pacific Ship. ..- 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. 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 15 days to make the trip. . WcrUd Mexican Dollar Racket - Mrs. Zaza Robinson, her husband, Frank" G. Robinson, and a man who calls himself Henry Cohen, were arrested at Fort . Wayne last Thursday on the charge of swindling. Their plan of operation was to get change at various stores for Mexican dollars. When arrested the woman had a bag containing 700 Mexican coins. She is a dashing, handsome brunette, and when at work she leaves her wraps in charge of one of the men while she goes into a store, as if she liyed in the neighborhood, and buys some trifling thing for 5 or 10 cents, putting the mouey down with the eagle side np. Thy trio secured about $300 in Fort Wayne during the last' two weeks. They confessed to having been arrested thirty-seven times, operating their gama in the West. They immediately employed an attorney, and it was discovered there was no law under which they could be prosecuted. They were ordered out of town, and left at once. They have been vrorking the same game in the towns in the West for core than three years, and have accumulated several thousand dollars.

John 5 Wesley' Achievments. " People who flatter themselves' that

the astonishing individual effort of this age in every line of endeavor was never equaled before In the world's history - overlook John Wesley's achievements. He compiled fifty-vol umes, taking the best of the great authors, ne wrote a grammar in five languages. He preached in almost every known language, lie wrote four volumes ol church history. He wrote an English dictionary. He gave 233 volumes from his own pen in addition. He edited 100 more yolumes. He was inspiring to students. His sermons are clear, solid, compact, scriptural, aimed at a mark. He was the first university extension among men. AH this in addition to his tremendous work of organization itself an achievement involving an' executive power and grasp of affairs quite equal to anything developed among the nineteenth and twentieth century statesmen, "captains of industry," or great leaders of any sort. To say that John Wesley was strenuous hardly expresses the Idea. . He was a vast, irrepressible force Indianapolis Journal. , The City Council. The council met in regular session Monday evening, transacted routine business, discussed and took action on some matters of neighborhood interest, took up the gas ordinance which had been discussed at previous meetings and after making some amendments granted a franchise to the parties applying to put in a plant for lighting and heating purposes. The ordinance requires work to be commenced within six months and that the plant shall be completed within one year. The bids for paving Sophia street according to specifications heretofore published were opened. The bid of Hatch & Sons was found to be the lowest. This is the firm that paved Michigan and Laporte streets. Their bid was $1.52 per square yard for paving and 22 cents per lineal foot for curbing. There were six bids ranging up to $1.73 for paving and 32 cents per foot for curbing. The finance committee reported $12,157.26 on hand. Unsettled Labor Conditions. It is probable that conditions in the American labor world were never more unsettled than they are at present. Notwithstanding the large advance in wages that has taken place during the last few years, there is a general demand for further increase. Many strikes are on and more are threatened, while employers are almost unanimous in declaring that the limit has been reached. A Chicago paper of yesterday gave, a list of more than a dozen strikes now going on in that city, involving 18,650 men, and many more are threatened within a few days. The situation in New York is much the same, and more or less unrest prevails every where; All interests profess to want peace and yet all are tending fowards industrial war. : Quite a fight Monday Night Thre was a lively row in the billiard hall of the Gem cigar store Monday night. Frank Murphy and Roy Lackey got into a rough and tumble fight in which Lackey got worsted. Night Policeman Lauer arrested Murphy and as he was taking him away, Lackey fired one of the heavy wooden balls through the plate glass window of the cigar store, which fortunately did not hit either Lauer or Murphy. Had it struck one or the other in the back of the head there would have been a case of murder to try. Lackey was arrested later and both he and Murphy appeared before Justice Solomon Zehner Tuesday morning entered a plea of guilty to assault and battery and were fined $1 and costs. The parties then shook hands and the matter was settled. Working the Southerners. It turns out that the Indianapolis chambermaid who has won considerable fame and not a few dollars by her reputed refusal to make up Washington's bed, actually performed that service and because she was discharged frcm the hotel for some other cause she spread the report that it was on account of her refusal to make up the "nigger's" bed she was given her walking papers. . The landlord says he heard nothing about this reason until she had left his employ and he says he knows that she mad'i up this bed the same as others under her care at the same time. So it appears that the chambermaid is working the southerners in gooo shape, Lbt cf Undated Letters.

Bee Stings Cure Rheumatism. Dr. Perc, of Marburg, in an address before a brilliant gathering of physicians the other day, announced bis discovery of the important fact that the sting of a bee is a sure cure for rheumatism of the joints and muscles. In cases where the patient is suffering severely Dr. Perc says the sting has no effect at first, and must be re: peated frequently. Finally, when the sting can be felt and the place that is stung begins to swell the rheumatism disappears. In describing his method Dr. Perc says he generally allows his patients to be stung by only a few bees at first and then gradually increases the number. It is his qustom to have the sufferer stung about seventy times at a sitting, and in one case that of a woman who was severely afflicted he says it was necessary to have his bees sting her 6,952 times before a cure was effected. The public will doubtless be glad to hear of this simple and pleasing method of lighting rheumatism. Who would not gladly be stung 6,952 times in order to get rid of an ache in some joint? Busy people might put in their Sunday afternoons being stung, and those who hate to call in doctors may with a little practice perhaps train bees of their own to sting as directed. The sting cure makes it important that no large family should be without a hive of bees. In emergencies, of course, one of the children might be sent to the neighbor's to borrow a few pints of bees, but it will always be best to have one's own bees where they can be pressed Into service at a moment's notice. Record Herald. . Webster's Arraignment of Russia. . Daniel Webster, in an impassioned address fifty years ago, when Russia was about to demand of Turkey the surrender of Kossuth and his followers for execution, gave utterance to the following burning words: "I see that the emperor of Russia demands of Turkey that the noble Kossuth and his companions shall be given up, to be dealt with at pleasure. And I see that this demand is made in derision of the established law of nations. Gentlemen, ' there is something on earth greater than arbitrary or despotic power. The lightning has its power, and the earthquake has its power, but there is something among men more capable of shaking despotic thrones than lightning, whirlwind or earthquake, and that is, the excited and aroused indignation of the whole civilized world. Gentlemen, the emperor of Russia holds himself to be bound by the law of nations, from the fact that he negotiates with civilized nations, and that be forms alliances and treaties with them. He professes, in fact, to live in a civilized age, and to govern an enlightened nation. I say that if, under these circumstances, he shall perpetrate so great a violation of national law as to seize these Hungarians and to execute them, he will stand as a criminal and malefactor in the view of "the public law of the world. The whole world will be the tribunal to try him, and he must appear before it and hold up bis hand, and plead, and abide Its judgment." Webster's speech seems applicable to Russia today. , A Sid Suicide, Last Sunday night Joseph' Clover, aged and afflicted, was taken to the county house near Kokomo for' care and treatment. His stay there was short. - He committed suicide by disembowllng himself with a table knife that he kept from supper. He left a widow. .Before dying he said he had outlived his usefulness and believed it a duty to' avoid depending on others for support. It's folly to suffer from that horrible plague of the night, itching piles. Doan's Ointment cures quickly and permanently. At any drug store, 50 cents.

AUDITOR CANNOT VOTE. An Opinion Involving the Election of County Superintendents. Attorney General Chas. W. Miller, Monday afternoon gave an opinion bearing on the elections of county school superintendents, which will be held in the ninety-two counties of the state next Monday. The ruling was in answer to a question by Superintendent of Public Instruction F. A. Cotton. The question was whether the county auditor may have tbe deciding vote in an election where one-half of the trustees present voted for one man and the other half scattered their votes among two or three candidates. The ruling was to the effect that as the auditor can only vote m case of a tie, and such a condition would not constitute a tie, he would not have the right to cast a vote in such a case. F. A. Cotton thinks, however, that he has a method where such a condition can be gotten around. His plan is this. In all cases where the vote is split and so distrsbuted that a deadlock ensues, one of - the trustees who is in the majority can move that the candidate receiving the highest vote on the next ballot be declared elected. In case there are ten trustees voting, the five who stand together will vote in favor of the resolution, and the five whose votes are scattered will i vote against it. In such a case the county auditor may cast the deciding vote, which will pass the resoluticn that will make possible an election. farmers Joyful. The fine, warm showers of the past few days have been most gratefully received by the tillers of the soil in this region, and they have been of vast benefit for, previous to their arrival the. oats crop was suffering to some extent as was clover, on clay soil. Tbe rains, while coming in showers only, have been quite general throughout the West, though in many places considerable damage has been done by the high winds that accompanied them as well as the floods which in some instances followed them south and west.

Penrod was born in Tuscarawas, O., December 1, 1861, died May 20, 1903, aged 41 years, 5 months and 19 days. She leaves a father, mother, Joseph and Sarah Penrod, three brothers, Noel U., of Bremen, Daniel A. of California Junction, la., and J. F., at home: one sister, Mrs. Hugh Logan, of North township, besides a large number of relatives and friends. She moved with her parents from Ohio to Linkville, Ind., in 1866 and has lived there all her life. Her last sickness was of eleven weeks duration, her suffering was great, but she was very patient The funeral was held at the U. B. church five miles north of Plymouth, on Friday, May 22, conducted by Rev. Wm. Summers, of North Manchester, Ind. The remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended, which showed the esteem in which she was held. Domestic Service by the Hour. The Women's Education association of Boston has determined to solve the servant question. It will train young girls for a month or six weeks in a house in the most fashionable district and will then hire them out by the hour. Domestic service by the hour will be a picturesque pastime for the maids and a dismal failure for the mistress. It may be justly feared that many of the projectors of this rosy scheme are unfamiliar with the conditions of housekeeping. To have the maid-by-the-hour drop everything on the minute and walk out with her stipend will demoralize more homes than such a system will help. Housework is not only "never done" but possesses a continuity and coherency which will not tolerate hourly dislocation. If one cook spent an hour geiting the oven "het," as they say in New England, and the next cook-by-the-hour thought it "het"' too hot what would become of the family baking?---Chicago Chronicle. Two Horseshoes for Luck. Lyman C. Egbert and son, of New Carlisle, were in South Bend last Saturday and left for their home in the afternoon just before the storm came up, says the South Bend Times. They got as far as the culvert near the Rockstroh farm northwest of the city, when the culvert was struck by lightning as they were crossing it and one of the horses they were driving was knocked down and both shoes torn from the hind feet. The animal immediately scrambled to its feet and the party went on their way rejoicing over their marvelous escape and with only a few moments delay, which was utilized in hunting for the shoes, one of which was found, but the other had entirely disappeared. It was indeed a remarkable escape for both, men and horses and one they'd not care to take chances with again. How's This?
