July 2, 1903. f Julging from the reports of the temper of the people in general at Wilmington, the best the law and or der people can hope for is that the re cent lynching will be be speedily for gotten. - As a result of the boom in the price of cotton, 11,000 acres have been planted this season in Porto Rico. It will'not take Americans long to et at cotton possibilities in the- new pos sessions. It seems that the Socialists in Ger many gained no less than 900,000 votes at the recent election. The kaiser will doubtless see that the party is one to be reckoned with in the future of the empire. Dick Welles, a young bay horse, rtn the fastest race ever run in the United States, at Washington park, Chicago, Tuesday afternoon. He ran six furlonsrs in less than one minute and eleven seconds. There is one democratic politician who is very quiet bow. Nobody ever h:ars a word from David B. Hill, ne knows that talking now will not help bin if there is a chance for the election of a democratic president in 1908. The anthracite board of conciliation has agreed on a set of rules governing the settlement of wage disputes in the Pennsylvania mines. There is. eery evidence that the peace that follows war" in the an thracite region is to be a good long one. The Louisiana supreme court has affirmed the constitutionality of the act passed by the legislature of that state at its session, punishing with imprisonment at hard labor wife desertion and failure on the part of the husband to support his wife and children. The treasury statement shows a surplus of $52,710,936 for the year ending June 30, 1903. This is a large gain for a single year, after paying all expenses and taking off the war taxes. An economical managemont of the government expenses will enable us to pay tbe nation's debt in a few years. The figures of the new railroad mileage completed during tbe first half of 1903 show that the greatest extension was in Oklahoma, 240 miles, next Texas with 205 miles. All of the older states were awav behind these, even New York reporting only two miles and a half of new road. The figures indicate that the principal railway extension during the next few vears will probably be in tbe southwestern and northwestern states. "Golden Rule Jones," mayor of Toledo, delivered an address in Chicago on Sunday before students in which he alluded to the United States flag as 'a bit of cloth reverenced by some people because of superstitions, " and called the army "a cankerous sore which threatens the life of the government." Jones is simply trying to say something that will cause people to talk about him and keep his name oef ore the public. The striking freight handlers in Chicago have issued a circular giving the names of a number of nonunionists who have continued at work, and calling on trades-people not to sell food to their families. "We would ask that no groceries, meat or any of the necessities of life be given or sold to these men's families until they wake up and become men,"s&ys the circular. Attempting to coerce men by starving their families is almost as bad as government by injunction. Soldiers' Burial Law Affirmed. The Indiana supreme court has just sustained the law which requires the township trustee to bury at the ex pense of the county any veteran of the civil war who has not sufficient funds to pay the expenses himself. The case decided came from Knox coifntt, where the county commissioners refused to pay a trustee for the burial service. The Knox court held with the commissioners and the opinion of Judge Hadley reversed its decision Earnings of Indiana Farms. The average return on all cultivated lands in Indiana is about $9 per acre, and from cereal crops alone about $10 pir acre. There are over two thousand farms in Indiana which show a return of a little over $20 per acre, Jaad many others from $12 to 618; Statistical returns from all the states show that the average gros3 returns from all cultivated lands in this country is a little lec3 than $10.50 per iXTe, and from cereal crops alone only C3.02 per acre.

Laziness Kills Many People. It is a well known fact that the

heart is a muscle. If the muscles of the body are allowed to become flabby the heart becomes flabby. A flabby heart may be trusted to pump the blood through the system ordinarily. out a sudden irisnt or emcnrencv, a sudden expenditure of energy, as in running up steps, or any unusual exercise, is liable to overpower the heart. It suddenly stops and the man falls dead. Tobacco tends to produce a flabby heart. Whisky tends to produce en largement of the heart. Lazy, Indolenfhabits weaken the heart and thin the ventricles. That man who Indites editorials, dictates letters, but takes no muscular exercise, is in danger, of falling dead . The life insurance man bad better steer clear of him. It is of vastly more importance to know what his habits are with reference to physi cal exercise than to know whether bis grandmother died of heart disease, or his grandfather had rheumatism. The doctor might a great deal better interview his wife and discover exactly how the man behaves himself, than to examine the blood for microbes or the urine for urate crystals. If a man must be strenuous, let him be strenuous all around. He should take a little strenuous physical exer cise every day, as well as strenuous mental work. It is even dangerous to neglect to take daily physical exercise. Fatty degeneration is killing more men today than smallpox. With all the hullaballo about pest houses and vaccination quarantine and medical boards, our country Is not in half as much danger from the ravages of smallpox as it is from the deteriorat ing. disintegrating influence of physi cal laziness. Albany Times-Union Happenings Over Sunday. A South Bend man shot himself and bis wife, and another South Bend man attempted to kill his wife, who is only 18 years old and was married last Christmas. A Congregationalist preacher ia Chicago preached a sermon favoring lyncbipg and burning men at the stake. Ä vornan in Chicago stabbed another to death with a hat pin. A man at Vincennes attempted suicide because his wife danced with other men more than himself at a private party. St. Joseph, Mich., people stopped a Sunday ball game, but entertained a boat load of marrying excursionists from Chicago. Tom Johnson declares he is willing to run for governor of Ohio again. These are some of the important happenings recorded over Sunday. A Joke on the Voters. The people of Amesville, Ohio, thought they were playing a smart joke when they nominated for mayor a drunken tramp and loafer and dwarf, and elected him to that office. The election was taken by most people as a joke, and the fellow was promised a jug of the best whisky that could' be bad if he would keep sober until after election. It was expected that he would resign in favor of the ex-mayor, but the fellow not only kept bis pledge and kept sober but he kept the office, and there seems to be no way to compel him to give jt up." The use of the ballot is a serious civic duty, and it is too sacred to be juggled with eyeu for a joke. It is all too often made the vehicle of expression of personal prejudice and party zeal without regard to after consequences, but it is a new plan of misuse to make it the vehicle of humor and sarcasm. Elkhart Re view. Black Rain Causes Fear. Barbour county, West Virginia, had a black v rain Saturday, which made streams so black that cattle refused to drink the water, while horses and cattle in the fields appeared black after the storm. On Stewart's, run tbe water was so black that many people thought the Berryburg coal mine had been opened through tbe ill and the water was coming from it. The black rain extended all over the county The clouds were of inky blackness and volumes of black smoke seemed to gush from them. There is much speculation as to the cause and many persons were frightened by the phenomenon. Worse .Than Murder. The circumstance that a colored citizen has bean chased into the river right here in Chicago will naturally cause citizens of Belleville and Dela ware to suppose that he had killed somebody. The surmise- would be incorrect, however. The colored citl-" zen was guilty of the more .heinous crime of working in the Alton freighthouse after 'Larry" Curran had ordered a strike. Of course his life was forfeit ipso facto. -Chicago Chronicle, Dig Family Rtunicn. A reunion of the Voreis and Miller families was held at the home of Wni. Voreis, In Green township, Sunday, June 28. Representatives of the family to tbe number of 200, from this and adjoining counties and from several States were present. It was a notable reunion of old settlers and their descendants, and many reminiscences aim cot forgotten were recalled. . An organization was effected and annual reunions will be held.

A Remarkable Family. ' While a considerable number of Our fellow Citizens celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of John Wesley, general attention is justly attracted toward the remarkable family from which that striking character descended. ". A more notable stock is scarcely to be found in this modern age. Father and sons contributed materially to christian literature, while one of the daughters wrote , poetry which rises sometimes to a higher level than any produced by her father or brothers. The mother was the dominant figure of 'the home. ' She was a woman of vigor, common , sense and faith. She was equally concerned with the intellectual and moral training of her children, who numbered nineteen. Although educated in different bchools, the uniiy of their religious convictions was steadfastly maintained largely by the mother's Influence. Charles Wesley, one of the greatest of hymn writers, was the eighteenth child of his parents. - He is believed to ; have written more than 6,000 hymns, many of which will endure as long1 as the sentiments they embody. Perhaps his sister's talents would have acquired greater spontaniety had she been less encumbered with culture. She modeled her style too rigorously upon Latin and Greek patterns, which are obviously ill suited to modern evangelization. A pathetic incident In the story of this remarkable family was their ill luck in marriage. Except Samuel and Charles all of the Wesleys married unhappily. Mehetabcl Wesley, her sensible mind steeped In classic lore, was married to a plumber who was both ignorant and debased. With consistent patience and un repining fortitude she bore her lot without revolt against the basic laws of the faith of which her family constituted the foundation stone. It is customary to look upon Charles Wesley as preeminently the poet of the family and upon John as preeminently the preacher. John Wesley was himself an ardent poet and is one of the few poets able to employ extensive learning with originality, force and grace, This fact must be ascribed in no small measure to his assidlous study of German religious poetry, which contains so large an element of folk song and which blends power with polish more than the religious verse of any other people. The Wesley family supplies a picturesque and benign chapter in the troubled course of the eighteenth century. The robust tree, many branched, musical with poets' voices and melodies culled from many lands and divers times, rises green and companionable, a virile monument to piety in an English desert. Chicago Chronicle.

Lynchings North and South. Something Is radically wrong. Despite tbe earnest attempt to create an anti-lynching sentiment in this country, this form of crime goes on in Increasing enormity. The record for this year, just half over, is forty-nine lynchings It furnishes a sad commentary on our boasted civilization. It is no longer in place for the North to reproach the South for its tendency to take the law in its own bands, for the North is rapidly becoming as guilty as the South. Con sidering the fact that the North Is not so subject to the cause that usually leads to these vicious outbreaks, it might be said that the North is equally guilty with the South. Lynchings seem to follow tbe rule of other calamities they frequently come in bunches. This would indicate that the torrent of Indignation arous ed by lynchings has no deterring ef fect on evil doers. Rather does it seem to quicken the morbid, depraved minds of these human" perverts and to lead them to the commission of the crimes for which their fellows suffered the public's vengeance. Indianapolis Star. Injunction Against Boy cots. Injunction against the boycott In its various phases is not a new thing, but Judge Ray, of Minneapolis, seems to have covered the subject just a little more completely than any other judge on the bench. In issuing a temporary injunction against an electrical workers' union he holds it illegal for the strikers to conspire to Injure tbe contractor's business; to interfere with such business by threats directed against customers or prospective customers to notify custom ers that contractors are "unfair;" to go on premises where contractors arc employed to interfere with their busi ness; or to order union men to quit work on premises by reason of the fact that contractors jnay be employed thereon. In other words, the court holds that .the strikers have a perfect right to quit work and leave their employer In a body, but just there is the end of their rights, so far as his business is concerned. All there things are part and parcel of an ag gressive purpose to injure tne business of an employer that fails to agree with the uuion. The caso will, of rx)urse, be contested in the higher courts, but, if this injunction be upheld 3 good law, the terror will bo extracted from tea averse strike.

Cadet Heim U. S. N. A. Schuyler neim has successfully passed the examination for admittance to the U. S. N. Academy at Annapolis. Md., and is now the cadet repreeenting the 13th congressional district of Indiana. Schuyler's friends are pleased to learn of his success in entering one of the government's most noted educational institutions. He is the first young manfrom Marshall county to secure a cadetship. Schuyler has just entered his twentieth year. He was reared on a farm near Plymouth where he attended school and lead an industrious, active and studious boy's life. At the age of 15 he graduated with honors from the common school. He then entared tbe Plymouth High School, from which he graduated with the class of 1902. He then began teaching m one of the consolidated schools of German township, where he met with marked success. Schuyler, with the aid of some of his friends corresponded with Congressman Brick, regarding his desire for the appointment, But on account of the large number of candidates for the position. Mr. Brick concluded to leave the choice to a competitive examination which was held at Plymouth, on the 29th of last April, and which was conducted by three disinterested examiners of whom Prof. Redd, of this city was one. Here a number of4the ablest young men of the district, several of them students of noted schools competed for the appointment. After the per cents were made up, Schuyler Heim was declared the winner and was promptly recommended to the navy department for appointment as a cadet. He has now successfully passed all the examinations and Marshall county is proud of him. Everybody has the fullest confidence in his patriotism and Integrity, and we hope that he may

July 1, 1903, aged 89 years, 3 months and 20 days. Mr. Slayter's health had been very good for a man of his age up to the evening of April 12, when he complained of a pain in his side. Dr. Holtzendorff was immediately called. Since that time he has been confined to the house. On the evening of June 11, at 6:30 o'clock, he had a stroke of paralysis of the left side which rendered him helpless and speechless in which condition he remained until his death. William Slayter was born in the state of New York, March 11, 1814, moved from there with his parents when one year old to North Hampton county, Penn., and lived there until his 15th year; moved from there with his parents to Starke county, Ohio, at which place he resided until 1836 when he started on foot and alone and came to Elkhart county.

Bloody Interests. The Chicago clergyman who is conditionally in favor of lynching and who said as much in his pulpit last Sunday should consider the effect of J that sort of teaching. Taking shelter under the old-time American antipathy to kings hut really catering to anarchistic sentiment, the yellow newspapers indorsed and advocated assassination for a year or two. They were particularly active in that line during the summer of 1901. They argued that kings were monsters at best and that whatever might be said of what were called good kings the bad ones, at any rate, had no right to live. At this juncture an anarchist emerged from a crowd at Buffalo and iilled the president of 'the United States. Preaching assassination has not taken up so much space in the yellow newspapers since that time. So it Is with lynchings and burnings. The victims of these outbreaks are monsters, but there is no assurance that the mob spirit will always address itself to them alone. Mobs do not reason and riots are not controlled by a nice sense of discrimination. The men who Indorse lynching in one case Deed not be surpriseb if their bloody instructions lead to results which they do not expect. Chicago Chronicle. ITS IMPOSSIBLE To DisproAe Facts. It is Decidedly Easy to Verify Plymonth Opinion. Nothing by way of an introduction can be added to the experiences and opinions given below, which could increase their value. Plymouth people can safely be left to draw theis own ' conclusions based on such convincing proof as this citizen offers. What is there lacking in evidence like this to satisfy a dyed-in-the-wool doubting Thomas? Mrs. Jane Martin, of 1018 North Center street says: ''I have had attacks of kidney complaint for a long time. .When they occurred my back ached across the loins often so severely that if I attempted to stoop sharp twinges through the kidneys were sure to follow the movement. They were so persistent and so stubborn to resist the use of medicines and standard remedies that became despondent and came to the conclusion that I was doomed to suffer the rest of my life. At last someone advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pillsand a box was procured for me at J. W. Hess' Drug Store. A few doses convinced me that they were going to the root of the trouble and a continuation of the treatment :'or some time stopped the backache. This positively proves to me that Doan's Lidney Pills can be depended upon to oct as represented. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents; Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. YM and take no other. Remember the name, Doan's and taie no other.

MARRIED Berlin-Ulrich. At 4 o'clock this (Tuesday) afternoon, Mr. John F. Berlin and Miss Christina Ulrich were united in marriage by Rev. C. E. Weiss at the home of the bride's parents, in this city. The ceremony was performed in the presence of about ninety invited guests. The rooms were artistically decorated, there was a profusion of flowers, the bride was elegantly gowned, the wedding march and all the accompaniments were fine and the presents were numerous, beautiful and valuable. There was an elegant wedding dinner, and it was indeed a joyous occasion for all the guests. The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ulrich, and the groom is a young railroad man of Fort Wayne. After a brief wedding tour the happy couple will make their home in Fort Wayne. Breece-Anderson. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Anderson, in this city was . the scene of a pretty wedding June 30, 1903, when their daughter, Miss Ada Anderson was united in marriage with Mr. Otto Breece. Rev. J. E. Hartman of the Reformed church, was the officiating minister and the hour of marriage was 8 o'clock. Miss Dessie Ritchie was bridesmaid and Mr. Arthur Yockey, of Portland, Ind., best man. The bride was elegantly gowned in pale blue silk and carried a bouquet of pink and white roses. The rooms were artistically decorated and the ceremony was performed under a beautiful floral bell. After congratulations a splendid wedding supper was served to about forty invited guests and two hours were spent in social enjoyment. The bride and groom are both very popular young people and received numerous, useful, beautiful and valuable presents. The groom has been for some time a trusted employee of the basket factory in this city, coming here from Edgerton, Ohio, and is worthy of his fair and popular bride. Mr. and Mrs. Breece will go to housekeeping at once in the Whitlock residence near the Washington school, which they had prepared and furnished before the wedding.
