It is now equal to any Indiana paper outside of Indianapolis. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen has adopted resolutions against syrup uhetic strikes, at its national convention in Denver, and thiL feature of labor controversies is evidently on the wane. The St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks that the cowboy who rode his horse sitting backwards in the procession that greeted Roosevelt in one of the towns of Idaho, represented a a democrat looking for an issue in 1904. The signing of the iron wage scale for the year by the Amalgamated Ass(ciation of iron, steel and tin workers and the representatives of the iron manufacturers will bring about aa as -urance of peace in this branch of industry. Richard Henry Stoddard, the famous poet who died recently, left an estate valued at 82,-000, and it is said that he saved this amount from an income outside his literary work. Poets who depend upon poetry for a living, never leave a fortune for their heirs to quarrel over. Chairman Jones, of the democratic national committee, grows black in the face when the name of Cleveland Js mentioned as the possible presidential candidate of that party. He asserts that the ex-president dia not support the tickets in 1896 and 1900, and. in fact, that "he never was a regular democrat.' Judge Hannecy, who seemed to be the principal Issue in the judicial election In Chicago, Monday, was defeated for re-election. Hannecy is an able j idge but he was in the boat with Boss Lorimer. Hannecy was supported by one republican organ, the Inter Ocean, and one democratic paper, the Chronicle, but he was opposed by the other papers of the oity. The report that there will probably be a reorganization of the': postoSije department on a modern business la i 1 a welcome one. The postoffice department is or should be a strictly business enterprise, and with honest and competent business management there is little doubt that the annual appropriation for its maintenance could be materially cut down. The request or the Ft.. Wayne bar tenders to the mayor that the saloons be compelled to close at 6 p. m.on Sundays, and the announcement that the mayor had already ordered the saloons to close on Sunday mornings, lead to the suspicion that the mayor is not entirely familiar with the provisions of the Nicholson law. Possibly a little study of the statutes and penalties incurred for their violation might prove of interest to him and of advantage to the citizens or Ft. "Wayne. It is said that, notwithstanding his rapid movements, the president has kept in dally touch with Postmaster General Payne regarding the pending investigation of the department, and that he fully approves of the motives and methods of the postmaster gen eitl. The president will be in Washington in a few days, and he will probably take occasion to let the public know there Is no truth in the statements of some correspondents that the conduct of the investigation has not been satisfactory to him. Some surpris3 is exppessed at the action of the war department in ordering fifty modern field guns with carriages and equipmant from a firm In Germany for use in the United States army. The reason given for placing the order abroad is that the United States ordnance establishment and all the private factories in the United States are now overloaded with ordnance work and that about fifteen months' time can be saved by ordering the guns in Germany. That may be true, but there does not seem to be any war emergency. Indianapolis Journal.

The suffering atd distress at Topeka have proved to be greater than the community can provide for, and the governor has issued a proclamation asking for money contributions from outside. So doubt there will be a generous response from the country at large.

v Intimations are thrown out that the new paper soon to be issued at Indianapolis by George F. McCulloch, the Interurban railway king, virtually means the transfer of the Muncie Staf to the capital city. E. E. Martin, until recensly connected with the Indianapolis News, is to be managing editor, Havana's Decreasing Death Rate. According to figures just made public, the death rate for the year 1902 at Havana was 21:19 to the thousand of population, which is better than that of many cities in the United States and very considerably better than the death rate in such southern cities as New Orleans and Memphis. It is, in fact, lower than the rate reported for Washington, which is regarded as one of the most cleanly and healthful of American cities. The improved sanitation of Ha .ana is one of the most successful and beneficent reforms that followed the removal of the island of Cuba from Spaniah rule and is the direct result of the ''cleaning up" process inaugurated and carried into effect by the United States military authorities. Once the most filthy and insanitary of modern cities, the breeding place and pestbouse of vellow fever and kindjed diseases, Havana became under American supervision as cleanly and wholesome as any city in this country. It is doubtful if any city of its size in the tropics can make anywhere near as good a showing for health as that presented in the report of the death rate of 1902. A Curious Case. At Thorntown Saturday night, a brute of a man whipped his little 3-year-old stepdaughter most cruelly. The act aroused such indignation that plan were quietly laid" to whitecap the brute. The marshal heard of them and took the man to Lebanon, where on trial he was fined $50 and sentenced to serve thirty days in jail. That seems to be Just punishmentpunishment adequate to the offense and It was administered promptly, while the public sense of outrage at the offense was still smarting. There will be a general feeling that the brute was well punished. But we wish here to ask why It was that the indignation of the people of Thorntown did. not express itself in having this man arrested and punished, as he was finallyrthrough the fears of the marshal, and not through the impulse for. justice? Why did these good people, instead of this, "quietly lay plans" to disgrace themselves and their state by another whitecap case? What is there in Indiana nature that should make its reputable people think of lawlessness, as here illustrated, instead of law? The event proved that the, law was ample to punish this crime, and that it could act as quickly as lawlessness. Yet no man's thought seemed td tun to the law, while that of many turned to lawlessness, and law was only invoked through the marshal's desire to save the disgrace. of whitecapism. Here is a social study that we commend to the people of Thorntown and of the whole state. Indianapolis News. Rx:!rcid News. Operating officials . of Important roads are discussing the advisability of llmitinsr the speed of trains. Since the new Atlantic type of locomotives were put in service the bursts of speed have brought on a discussion In official circles as to tha policy of permitting such things. Lake Shore, the Wabash, Big Four and Pennsylvania engineers have been turning things wide open, making great spurts of speed, and these new engines have shown that one hundred miles an hour under favorable conditions is not an impossibility. The natural ambition of an engineer to have made the fastest rur on record and the crown of heroism that the public gives the winner of of such a speed tesi are said to be too potent to be overlooked. It is said that the railroads are contemplating the issuance of an order to make schedule time between all points, whether late or not. The thing most aimed at Is that the pride of the train officials in having their tjains oa time at the terminals will make them more careful about reaching intermediate stations on time, which is quite as important as reaching intermediate stations on time, which is quite as important as reaching terminals on schedule. The point with trade operating official! is that tae fear of disaster to life and property ould cans, the railroad to be more caatioc3 about rtmnirg trains to lost. Ccon Lis So:!. -'' .

MORTUARY. Mabel P. Zilmcr. Mabel Pauline, one of the twin children of Rev. A. H. Zilmer and wife, died Friday May 29, 1903, aged 1 year, 1 month, and 17 days. Death came after a short illness of catarrhal fever. Mabel was a lovely little girl and her death has filled the hearts of her parents with sadness. Many friends sympathize with them in their grief. Funeral services were held at the Church of God Sunday forenoon, conducted by Rev. J. L. Wince, of Pierceton. The remains were interred at Oak Hill.

George L. Cummins.

George L. Cummins died at his home in West township Friday afternoon, May 29. 1903, aged 49 years. His death was caused by a general breaking down of the system. He had been in failing health for ten years. Funeral services were held at the home in West township at 10 a.m. Sunday, conducted by Rev. Browns, of Culver. The remains were buried at Oak Hill with Masonic honors. He leaves a widow and two children, a sister, Mrs. David How. and a brother in Ohio.

Mrs. Margaret Wolf. Mrs. Margaret Wolf died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kate Edwards, in Culver, Thursday May 28, 1903, aged 75 years, 7 months and 23 davs. Deceased was the widow of Gideon Wolf and was for many years a resident of the city of Plymouth. She was a woman of considerable force of character and had a wide acquaintance among the old settlers of the county. She leaves two sons and several daughters, all of whom are married except Daniel W. Wolf, the well known school teacher.

William Scofield. William Scofield died at his home in North township, Monday morning, June 1, 1903, aged 69 years, 5 months, and 27 days. . Few men in Marshall county were better known than William Scofield, who came to this county in 1857, from Franklin county, Ind., settled in North township on land he had previously selected, taking shelter in a log school house with his wife and one child until he could erect a board "shanty" which served as a residence until he could build a better house. He was then young, well and strong, industrious and ambitious and soon he had a number of acres cleared and in cultivation and for twenty years before his death had one or the finest country residences in Marshall county, located on a farm that is among the best in northern Indiana while as a farmer and stock raiser and successful businessman he had few equals and no superiors among the farmers who began life only with a limited amount of capital. He was the owner of almost 1,000 acres of valuable land in Marshall county. For the past five years he had been afflicted with heart disease, dropsy, and a complication of diseases, culminating in cancer of the face from which be was a great sufferer for many months previous to his death. William Scofield was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, but moved with his parents to Franklin county, Indiana when he was less than one year old and that county was his home until he moved to Marshall county in 1857. His father was a native of Maryland and his mother a native of Virginia, but both were descended from English ancestry and William Scofield had the lineaments and traits of a fine English character. Reared on a farm among the pioneers of Indiana, his education was limited, but his judgment was sound and he possessed a stock of common sense and experience that books could not have given him, although he was a reader and more than ordinarily well informed on many subjects. He was married three times. First in 1855 to Miss Julia Jackman, of Franklin county, who came with him to Marshall connty and proved a valuable assistant in helping him make a home. She, with two childreu, died of scarlet fever in 1862. In 1865 he married Miss Lydia Emerson, the daughter of one of Marshall county's pioneers. Four children were born to this union but only one, a daughter, is now living. In 1876 his second wife died, and in 1879 he married Miss Mahala Miller, who with two sons and one daughter mentioned above and a sister, Mrs. McManaman, of Swayzee, Ind., survive him. William Scofield was a man of extraordinary executive ability and when in good health usually accomplished whatever he undertook. He served his township as trustee and was a delegate to several state and national agricultural conventions of imporance. After the disorganization of the county agricultural society, he and his neighbor, John Seltenright, pur-

chased the fair grounds refitted them and held successful fairs for thirteen years in succession, paying all premiums and doing all the work necessary at their own expense. Mr. Seltenright died a few years ago and now his friend and partner has joined the great majority in the realms unseen by mortal eyes. Funeral services were held at the Fairmount church five miles north of Plymouth, Wednesday at 10:30 a. m. and the remains were laid at rest in Fairmount cemetery. Plymouth Commandery Knights Templar, of which he was a member, had charge of the services at the cemetery. Memorial Day. The day sei apart each year for honoring the memory of the fallen heroes of the republic again returns and with it comes the patriotic and tender observance f strewing blossoms upon the places where they peacefully sleep, of recounting anew their deeds of valor and vowing once more allegiance to the flag they died to save. It is a most sacred occasion and pity it Is that the American people do not feel it a solemn, religious duty to give up every pleasure and every kind of secular employmant on this day and consecrate the hours wholly to the memory of the warrior dead. The baseball game, the picnic or the pleasure excursion is not the way to pay tribute to loved ones and great ones gone before, yet there is almost as much Memorial day desecration of of this sort going on in the country as there Is of sacred observance of the true character of the day. South Bend Tribune. The Grand Army and a majority of thinking people all over the land now endorse the sentiments expressed by the South Bend Tribune; but fourteen years ago when the editor of the Plymouth Republican advanced the same idea in almost the same words, he was denounced as an unpatriotic crank by many old soldiers and a majority of the general public. The world moves and common sense and the right is always vindicated. More Surplus to Lock Up. The receipts of the national government during the expired eleven months of this fiscal year have exceeded Its expenditures by $39,000,000, round figures. The surplus it is expected will be increased to $45.000,000 during the fiscal month of June. This is an interesting outcome in view of the repeal and reduction of "war taxes" which produced about $77,000,000 the year before. The expenditures for the expired eleven months of the" year have been more than $34,000,000 greater than they were during the same months, the. year before. Had they been do greater, as might have been the case if congress had been as economical. the surplus would have been $73.000,000,000 instead of $39,000,000, in spite of the estimated tax reduction of $77,000,000. This shows that the Panama canal can be built without anybody feeling that it cost the government a penny, if the congress which meets in December is reasonably economical and will keep expenditures down to what they should be after spending all that is necessary to run the government. ' Blodgett Visits Gcor $e Scoville. W. H. Blodgett writing from Bass j lake, Starke county, to the Indianapolis News, says: 4George Scoville, the man who defended Guiteau, the assassin ot Presinent Garfield, liyes on a farm, half a mile back from the lake. A great many stories have been writ-1 ten aboüt Scoville, how he has be- j come a recluse and how he was shunned by his neighbors Then they made him insane, and one over-ambitious New York reporter caused Mr. Scoville to commit suicide. The facts are that Mr. Scoville is leading the j peaceful life of a farmer. Though I somewhat eccentric, be has a great many friends, is a member of the township advisory board and takes a good deal of Interest in local political affairs. v "Mr. Scoville dislikes to talk of Guiteau and his crime." j List of Unclaimed Letters.

Child Locked in Trunk. Mr. and Mrs. FJarrison reside in the north part of the city and have three small children, two of them, a girl and a bov being twlus. Mrs. Harrison went down town Tuesday and leaving the children at home until her return. Julius Vinall's little boy went over to play with them and the children decided it would be fun to put little Ruth, one of the twins, in a trunk. They did so and put down the lid which closed with a spring. The children soon realized that they could not open the trunk and called to the neighbors for assistance. The ladles who came to their assistance . were so excited that they could not at once open the trunk, but a man came along with a chisel, the lock was broken and the child was taken out almost dead, but was a revived after a few minutes and in an hour or two was all right again. Ten minutes longer would have caused the child's death." "

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications bb they cannot reach the diseased portion of ihe ear. There is only one way to cure deafneee, ind that is by conatitional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the icflammtion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ia nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous services.

Our Exports of Manufactures. The high-watermark in our exports of manufactured articles was in the fiscal year of 1900, when the value of the goods we sent abroad was in round numbers $434,000,000. By 1902 thetotal had fallen to about $404,000,000. Thus far this 3 ear, however, a slight increase is noticeable, equivalent to a little less than 2 per cent over last year. The exports in the month of April were especially good, reaching about $40,000,000 and surpassing any other single month m our history with the exception of March and May, 1900.

A SIMPLE QUESTION. Plymouth People are Requested to Hon estly Answer This. Is not the word of a representative citizen of Piymouth more convincing than the doubtful utterances of people living everywhere else in the Union? Bead this: A. B. Personett, barber, Young's LaSalle street, barber shop, residence Washington street, say1?: "Anyono who follows my calling requires a good sound back; for the long hours spent at the chair particularly on a busy day brings a steady strain on the orascles of the loins and if that part of your anatomy is not in the best of condition you cannot perform a day's duty with any degree of comfort. With the passing of time the aching increased and every morning I commenced work with fear and trembling for I learned that each day was similar to the preceding one as far as my aching back was concerned. I knew what I would be obliged to endure and this dread of Itself is sufficient to cause irritability and nervousness in any man. A friend advised me to try a standard remedy extensively adver-, tised but I failed to receive any benefit. Finally noticing that Doan's Kidney Pills were for the kidneys and the kidneys alone I went to J. E. Garwood's drug store for a box and commenced the treatment . It absolutely stopped the last attack. Should others recur I now know what to do to get relief." For cale by all dealers. Prices 50 cents. Fcster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.
