Tbe continued Increase In Irish immigration, notwithstanding the prospect for tbe British government's land program becoming a law, woiid make it appear that the Irish prefer coming to this country where there is' more land and less law. Talk of Cardinal Gibbons as a possibility for the papacy is very pleasing to Arnerican Catholics, but the chance of bis election Is very remote. The College of Cardinals will probably jnake the selection from the Italian cardinals, as usual. The state auditor of Ohio announces that since July 1, when tbe last outstanding bonds were paid the state is out of debt. Fiye other states are in the same condition, viz., Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska. New Jersey and it will not be long before Indiana w 111 be added to the list The kind of physical culture the late Horace Greely believed in. and practiced, was to take an ax, go out in the woods, and chop down a tree to make a fuel. It was largely for the purpose of getting plenty of out-door exercise that he bought himself a farm, naming it Chapauqua. South Bend Times. During a law-suit, the attorney of tne self-styled Elijah No. 2 John Alexander Dowie, admitted that he was worth several million dollars. By proclaiming himself a prophet Dowie has drawn to himself a great number of followers who in the blindness of their faith turned over all their savings to him. Dowie is a man of genius and dariujr. That he will eventually overreach himself and come to grief is taken for granted. South Btnd Times. Professor Paul Milyoukov. the Russian who is lectur'ng at the University of Chicago, describes the popular movement now going on in Russia as Tike "a flood, which from being gentle presently becomes violent." He characterizes the Russian government as a "mere police state," and declares that all of its obstructive- measures will only serve to intensify the coming struggle. "The living forces in the nation," he says, "cannot be fettered in such away." Mrs. Harriet Lane' Johnson, niece of President Buchanan, and during bis'administratlo j the popular mistress "of the white house,"d!ed recently at the age of 70 years, By her will she bequeathed the sum of $100,000 for a monument to tbe memory of Buchanan at bis birthplace in Pennsylvania. $60,000 to Johns Hopkins university, $300,000 to found an Episcopal college in Washington and large sums for a home for invalid children at tbe capital. ' The Constitution of Indiana says that 4 -In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy trial." This guarantees to persons accused of crime something which, as a geueral rule, neither they nor their lawyers desire. Sympathetic and persistent delay is wnat they generally work for. The speedy trial and conviction of criminals would go far to educate tbe people in greater respect for tbe courts and in doing away with lynching?. Indianapolis Journal. Jeremiah B. Sullivan, the democratic nominee for governor of Iowa, is taking particular pains to make it clear that be did not favor the free coinage of silver in 1896 or thereafter. He says he took a very active part in the movement to prevent tbe democratic party from committing Itself to that proposition. He held his own county in line, and made a yigorous fight in the state convention. After the deed was done, and the party bad been committed to the unlimited coinage idea, his intense party feeling impelled him to acquiesce in the decision of the majority, but without yielding his personal judgment or conviction on that particular subject. If there is anything more silly than tbe illustrated stuff put out by the Chicago Sunday papers, ' we should like to see somebody try to show it. Those alleged funny features are simply nauseating. South Bend Times. Of late years not only the Chicago papers but ether metropolitan sheets have fallen into the idea that what the public wants is foolishness. The "New York Sun, the New York Times, tbe Indianapjlis Journal and tbe Indianapolis News are notable exceptions to this fault. These papers have the good sense not to inflict the colored supplement curse on readers. Ninety per cent of the feature matter printed in the big city papers is the virorst kind of trash, and Is not vrorth the time that it takes to read the to d Wzzz.

Justice Brewer is exactly right in his declaration that a participant In a lynching party is a murderer pure and simple. The only difference Is that the" lyncher, being the more cowardly of the two, wants a crowd to help him dothe work and bear the responsibility.

Gov. Cummins, of Iowa, denies the statement recently telegraphed from Washington that he had written a letter expressing a willingness to be a candidate fcr vice president. 'The governor declares he has written no such letter, and is much annoyed' by the fabrication of the Washington correspondents. Tbe declaration of Associate Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, . that every man who participates In a lynching is a murderer, may suggest something to various judges that they had not thought of before. And if they execute their thoughts a few times some of the best cltizeus may thfnk twice before they become unduly excited. Crawford Fairbanks, the well-known Terre Haute capitalist and brewer, has just returned from New York. While mingling, with tbe money changers of Wall street Mr. Fairbanks became profoundly impressed with the idea that Grover Cleveland is the available man for the presidency, in opposition to Roosevelt. Wall street's attitude on that question is by this time pretty clearly defined. Senator Piatt, of New York. Is seventy years old and haz been active in politics for nearly a century. He has been often reported as going to retire voluntarily from party leadership If not from politics absolutely, and when asked a few days ago why be had changed his mind so often, he replied, Well, to he perfectly frank, each time I seriously thought of getting out some one hit me. I concluded that I would not be driven out." Old Marshall County News. When this county was organized In 1836, merchants, grocery men, hotel keepers and all retail dealers had to have a license to do business. The license fee was five dollars. The first licensed hotel keeper was John Compton, In 1836. 'In July of the same year, Charles Osterbaut was authorized to "keep tavern" at his place two miles south of Plymouth. In January, 1837, Robert Beattie took out license for the same purpose; and at about the same time James and William Owens were licensed to keep tavern in Green township. The first estate administered on was ihat of Mary Pattingale, Adam Vinhedge was the administrator, ne was, we believe, an uncle cf Adam Vinnedge, who died in this city recently. Tbe first white child born in the county, was Cyrus Taber. - The first Indictment in the county was against Robert Beattie for belling liquor without a license. He pleaded guilty and was fined two dollars and costs. The first blacksmith in the county was Uriah Metcalf. - The first newspaper, the Plymouth Pilot, was published by John Q. Howell, in 1851, Mr. Howell now lives in Kewanna. He visits Plymouth two or three times every year and is a wonderfully well preserved man of his age. The first county clerk was Jeremiah Muncy; Adam Yinnedge was tbe first sheriff; William Dunham, the first auditor; John Houghton, tbe first treasurer; Silas Morgan the first recorder; Daniel Roberts, the first surveyor; John Johnson, the first coroner, and Grove Pomeroy was the first probate judge. , . The first grist mill in tbe county was at what was known-as the "Old Forge" about seven miles southwßt of Plymouth, where Zehner's mill was afterward built. The first Iocs ted physician was Dr. Thomas Logan, who resided near the present Wolf Creek mill. . The year 1850, has always been known in Marshal: county as tbe sickly season; seventy-eight deaths were caused by flux and typhoid fever, diseases almost unknown hi this county during tbe past twenty-five years. Most of the deaths from typhoid fever were in Plymouth and the central part of the county. Most of the deaths caused by flux were in tbe north part of the county. When we reccllect that this was 53 years ago and the population of the county was small the number of deaths is remarkable. Too Late fcr tht Resurrection. The late Dr. Board man, a famous Philadelphia clergyman, used to tell of preaching a funeral sermon at one time when he took up more time than usual without being aware of it. The undertaker was a rather nervous man and became fearful that Dr. Boardman would make it a very late funeral. Finally he whispered to ?. member of the. preacher's congregation. "Does he always preach as long as -this?" "Longer sometimes," was the reply. "That is a fine sermon on the resurrection." "Oh, yes, it's a good sermon, I suppose," cold the funeral director, "but if b3 preaches much locjcr I won't b3 eels to get the body turi:d In time for thz resurrection'"

MORTUARY .

John Hoham. John Hoham, one of the oldest and most widely known citizens of Plymouth, died at his home in this city at 8:30 a. m. Sunday, July 12, 1903, aged 83 years and 24 days. Mr. Hoham was born in the city of Strasburg, Alsace, Germany, June 17, 1820, left home and went to work on a farm when he was eleven years old, came to the United States when he was twenty years old landing in New York after a voyage of fifty-six days. From that city he went, to Lyons, N. Y., and worked one year on a farm for $100. He then engaged in farm work and lumber work for three years near Buffalo and saved about $200. He came to Marshall county in 1844, bought 80 acres of land on the old Indian reserve near Lake Maxinkuckee, built a log cabin and lived alone until 1845, when he was united in marriage with Mary Moller, a native of Germany but living at that time in Fulton county. After their marriage Mr. Hoham and his wife resided on their farm in Union township eight years and during that time increased it to 160 acres. In 1852, Mr. Hoham sold his farm in Union township and purchased 200 acres in West township where he resided about five vears, when he purchased three acres of land one mile southwest of Plymouth to which he moved and erected the first brewery in Marshall county. For about ten years he carried on the brewery business in connection with farming and stock raising when he sold the brewery to his brother-in-law. John Klinghammer. In 1857 he purchased from Henry Carter, of New York City, the block on the south side of Laporte street between Center and Michigan streets, paying for it $15,000. On this property he erected nine one story business houses, which with those already on the property, made twelve in all. In 1869 he embarked in the hardware trade and after five years disposed of this business for $13,000. In 1872 almost the entire block of his business houses was destroyed by fire while he was attending the funeral of a friend at Laporte. With that energy which had always characterized him, he at once began to rebuild and within three months had completed six business rooms at a cost of $20,000. These business houses he continued to own until his death, also his residence property on Center street and other valuable property adjoining the city. Until within a few years of his death, Mr. Hoham's life was a very active one, and his business enterprises were very successful. He was a public spirited citizen, always alive to the interests of Plymouth and the city owes much of its advancement to him. His first wife died in 1875 leaving nine children, seven of whom are living. They are Oliver C., John E., Fred B., William E., Mrs. Kate Palmer, Mrs. Magdalena Loesch and Mrs. Louise Haberkorn. In 1876 Mr. Hoham was again married to Miss Margaret Hansen a resident of Plymouth, but a native of Denmark. To this union five children were born four of whom are living: Mary, George K., Harry and Luther. Mr. Hoham was almost all his life an active member of the German Evangelical church and was for twentyfive years one of the leading Sunday school workers of that church in Plymouth. During the civil war he was a pronounced union man and furnished a substitute who served in the union army. In politics he was a republican and while a resident of West township, served four years as township trustee. Aside from that he never sought an official position. His death came after an illness of three months, but he was only confined to his room ten days and died as calmly and peacefully as an infant going to sleep. Besides the children mentioned above he leaves a widow and one sister, Mrs. Magdalena Klinghammer and many other relatives and friends who mourn his death. Funeral services were held at the German church at 10:30 o'clock a. m. Wednesday, conducted by Rev. C. E. Weiss, burial at Stringer cemetery.

W. D. Lillybridge. W. D, Lillybridge, for thirteen years a jeweler and dealer in musical instruments in this city died Monday morning, July 13, at the home of his sister in South Bend, aged 42 years, 4 months and 9 days. Mrs. Lillybridge was visiting in Chicago and Mr. Lillybridge, had gone to South Bend to visit his sister. He was taken suddenly i11 just before 10 o'clock Sunday night, with heart disease and died after an illness of only four hours. Deceased was born in Wayne county, New York, on the day that Lincoln was first inaugurated president. His father enlisted in the union army and

a few years after the war was over came to Indiana and settled near Monterey. There deceased grew to manhood on a farm, and later learned the jeweler's trade. He came to Plymouth thirteen years ago, and a few years later married Miss Sarah Schlosser, with whom he lived happily until his death. Mrs. Lillybridge was visiting in Chicago and the telegram announcing her husband's death almost prostrated her as it did his mother who was at the home in this city. Mrs. Lillybridge went at once to South Bend and brought the remains of her husband to this city on the noon train today. Funeral services were held at the residence on Sophia street at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday, conducted by Rev. J; E. Hartman and the remains were interred at Oak, Hill. Besides his sorrowing wife and mother, deceased leaves a brother in tbe state of Washington, and the sister at whose home he died in South Bend. The stricken relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sudden bereavement.

Council Meeting. Tne city council met in regular session Monday evening. Two numbers. Messrs Astley and Logan were not present. The question of sidewalks was discussed. Several persons notified to build sidewalks have refused to do so and the council decided that hereafter when persons do not comply with an order to build sidewalks the council will proceed under the new law similar to the Barrett law and will advertise and let such improvements, just as they do paving. This will cost the owners of property about twice as much as it would without going through all the formalities of law. It was also decided to receive bids for painting the three Iron bridges, which span Yellow River, with carbonized coating, the same as the black section on the railroad bridge over Michigan street. . Tbe resolution to pave Center street from Laporte street to Suit's corner was called up for passage. Council Gibson voted no. It requires four votes to pass a resolution or ordinance for paving, consequently the motion failed. It will probably be called up again when all members are present. Sixty-Seven Years Ago, The first marriigc license issued in this county was dated June 21, 1836, and was issued to John W. Cruzan and Miss Matilda Henderson. The marriage ceremony was solemnized June 23, 1836, by William G. Pomeroy, Justice of Peace. In 1836 there were 118 farmers in Marshall county, and three persons were engaged in commercial pursuits. In 1840 there were 317 farmers, eight store keepers, one learned professor, two insane persons and forty adults that could nof read or write. There were three school houses in the county in 1840. In 1836 John noughton was countytreasurer, and his report shows that tbe taxes collected on real estate and personal property amounted $466.40. The treasurer's salary that year was $21.07. . - John Dixon was the first merchant in Marshall county. Who he was or what became of him nobody now knows, but he sold goods three months on the ground wbeie a part of Plymouth is now located. Carrying Concealed Weapons. The law of Indiana says that "every peason'not being a traveler, who shall wear or carry any dirk, pistol or any other dangerous or deadly weapon concealed, shall, upon conviction thereof be fined In any sum not exceeding $500." This law is violated by thousands of persons every day in the year. Ei-Attorney General Taylor in discussing the recent outburst of crime attributes part of it to the carrying of concealed weapons. The late legislature refused to pass a law emphasiz; ing this crime. The ex-attorney general would have pistols and revolvers, etc., made contraband, and subject to destruction, not re-ale and consequent increased circulation. His proposition ought to be acted upon. Boy Died of Lockjaw. Frank Newman, aged 12 years, died In horrible agony last Friday morning likMisbawaka, the result of blood poisoning and lockjaw, produced by a blank cartridge wound in the palm of his hand, inflicted on the Fourth. The boy had been ill for five hours. Every muscle became rigid, his jaws were set and the lad's body was. contorted Into every conceivable shape. He' died writhing in agony. Physicians pronounce it one of the most malignant cases of lockjaw they baa ever seen.' The wound had nearly healed. Will Not Trie Hirn BicX. On the 20th of May, Edna Glenn Bailey, daughter of Alexander G, Bailey, of Soutth Bend, was married to Harvey Tutt, the marriage being a social event. Three days after the marriage Mr. Tutt suddenly disappeared, and was recently found in a Minnesota town. He claims that he went away while mentally irresponsible. Hb trids declines to receive him.

Our Trade Not Greatly Harmed. Recent acts of foreign governments apparently hostile to American products have not, in point of fact, affected our interests very unfavorably. Not many days ago the British government prohibited the importation of swine into the United Kingdom. Persons not accurately informed in such matters jumped at the conclusion that this act would seriously affect our trade. Some of our Chicago packers who were interviewed on the subject promptly replied that Chicago's trade would not be affected, as no hogs were shipped fromvhere to Britain. To this It may be added that the export trade of the country will not be affected at all, as no hogs are shipped from any port thereof to Britain. In fact, we do not ship many hogs out of the country. Tbe official returns for the last two calendar years show that in 1901 we shipped out 15,909 hogs, valued at $169,097. and in 1902 only 4,582 hogs, valued at $47, 186.In tbe last three years we have not shipped any hog3 to Britain and not enough to be mentioned in the official report to any other country of Europe. Our shipments are almost entirely to Canada, Mexico and the West Indies. We ship plenty of pork, bacon, hams and lard, but almost no live hogs. It now appears that the new German regulations are affecting German dealers more than American shippers. A Berlin dispatch states that these regulations place them at a great disadvantage in the export trade meaning their export trade in American meats. Though the meats may be Imported only to be Immediately reexported, they must be inspected, and the official charges are sufficient to kill the trade. The German dealers heretolore have supppiied Austria and Switzerland with American meats, but under the cew law the Belgian and Dutch shippers are getting this trade. This injury to German trade is not attended with any additional prbtecttion to German producers of meat. It is purely an injury to German dealers which neither hurts American shippers nor helps German producers. Chicago Chronicle. Democracy and Judge Gray. United States Circuit Judge George Gray, of Delaware, is frequently mentioned as good euiocratic presidential timber. His latest boom comes from the anthracite regbn of Pennsylvania, where a canvass shows, it is said, that practically all of the democrats among the officials of the miners' union are heartily iu favor of his nomination. So high does Judge Gray stand in the estimation of his countrymen that as presidential timber there will be few to deny his good qualities. But as for his being democratic presidential timber, that is another question. It was Judge Gray then United States Senator Gray who at the democratic convention of 1896, when free silver became "paramour t," was one of that issue's most bitter opponents. His active alliance in the campaign that followed was given to Palmer, as one can learn almost any week in Tbe Commoner. It was also Judge Gray, who was a member of the Paris peace commission in 1896, and who thereby helped launch ihe United States into an era of expansion. One needs no further facts to prove what his attitude must have been toward. the "paramount" issue of the Kansas City platform of 1900. Record Herald. The RareSt Wild Beast Exhibit The number and variety of perfect wild,beasts,birds and amphibia massed in the consolidated menageries of tbe Great Adam Forepaugh -and Sells Brothers' United Shows, which appear here on Thursday, July 30, is enormous and unprecedented. And there are many stupendous, curious and beautiful creatures never bef jre placed on exhibition and nowhere else to be seen. Included among these are the only school of . trained seals and sea lions, the giant male hippopotamus, an Ethoipian gnu or horned horse, a Niger antelope, an African eland, a full-grown, snow-white polar bear, a pair of saddle back tapirs, and a monster double-horned Sumatra rhinoceros. Plenty of time is given to inspect them, both before and after the grand arenic performances Don't slight them in undue anxiety to secure a seat. There is plenty of room under the bigr hippodrome tent for all comers. Board ot Review Work. The board of review and equalization adjourned last Friday morning after a session of forty days. After equalizing individual assessments as far as possible, they reduced the assesments of Center and Bourbon townsliips ten per cent. ' The real estate in Bremen was reduced fifteen per cent, in Culver twenty per cent, in Green, Walnut and Tippecanoe townships ten per cent, in North five per centj, and tbe improvements in North wfcre decreasecT twenty per cent. Polk township real, estate was increased Ave percent, Argos real estate and improvements were increased twenty per cent, and the real estate of the fllage of Bourbon was Increased

twentnper cent.

Hillis Should See the Figures. The Rev. Dr. Hillis,' of Brooklyn, receutly advocated a "church trust" or combination of churches, on the ground that it would be more economical to conduct a few large churches than a large number of small ones as at present. He urged that it was a waste of money to support many small churches where one would apparently answer the needs. This sermon came under the eye or the Rev. Jesse Tidball, a Presbyterian pastor of Kewanee, 111., and, having a little leisure on his hands, this gentleman hunted up the statistics of Brooklyn churches and, did a little figuring, with results that are rather destructive of Mr. Hillis's theories. Mr. Tidball takes four large and four small churches and. dividlnj the expense by tbe number of members, finds that it costs much less to save' souls and keep them in the snail than in the large churches, the annual expense varying from $41.50 to $378. City pastors often have duties to attend to and little time for vulgar statistics, but the next time Mr. Hillis goes into the financial features of religious work he will do well to engage in, preliminary examjnation of church books. If he does not, some country pastor will do so, to his discomfiture. Indianapolis Journal. The Undesirable Big City. Instead of boasting about their rapidly increasing populations, the taking in of surrounding te.rritorv to make their precints as large as possible, the greater cities of tbe country would do mankind a much better service were more attention paid to providing the people with better facilities for living decently and in safety. Until the problems of pure water, perfect sewerage, abatement of the smoke nuisance, pure air, properly ventilated buildings, complete systems of transportation and others too numerous to memtion, are effectually solved, the big cities of the country will continue to be undesirable places for the human .family to abide in. South Bend Tribune.

Don't Cuss; Give Thanks. If we all could follow the philosophical advice of Col. Ileury. Watterson this would-be a hapyy world. He once remarked. ''When I stub mv toe, I do not damn the universe fer my carelessness: but, instead, I thank God that I did not break rav neck." Pigecns in Long Flight. Fortv-one birisof the Mishawaka Homing club were entered in the long race from Martin, Tenn., 400 miles distance in an air line. They were released at 5 o'clock Sunday" morning, but had a rather strong wind from the northeast to contend with all day. Ordinarilyfcthe wonderful little racers over the aerial course would have reached home tbe same day in a 400 mile contest, but tbe wind was against them. The first bird to reach its loft came in at 5:30 o'clock Monday morning, indicating that the pigeons were near home when they ceased flying Sunday evening at duskr Dixon Lake Ripples. Elmer Stevick visited his mother last Sunday. The farmers are busy threshing in this vicinity. Mrs." Clara Zehner visited at C. L. Andrew's last Tuesday. Quantities of fine berries are being picked in Mrs. Stevick's huckleberry marsh. - Ralph Mackle'n, from east of Plymouth, launched a neat little sail boat on Dixon Lake lake last Friday. Misses Lottie York and Edith Andrews visited Mr. and Mrs. D. S. York, north of Tyner, last Saturday and Sunday. . . . Bennie and Lois Force, of near Plymouth, and Mrs. Deblin and little son of Kalamazoo, Michigan, spent Saturday at Dixon Lake. A CASE OP IT Many More Like it In Plymouth. The following is but one of the many similar occurring daily in Plym outh. It is an easy matter to verify its correctness. Surely you cannot ask for better proof than such conclusive evidence. James E. Cox, painter, of Center street, says: "For over five years too frequent action of the kidney secre tions ' gave me no end of annoyance. This was particularly observable at night and resisted the effects of all medicines I used. One day while.feeling dull and miserable and hardly able to get around I happened to read an advertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills and I reasoned if this remedy performs half what It promises it may at least help and I went to J. W. Hess' drug store for a box. It reliev ed, I bought a second and if the re sults obtained from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills had not been positively beneficial.I would be the last resident of Plymouth to publicly endorses the preparation."

Uphold the Law. The law must be upheld no matter who likes it or who doesn't like it. Namby-pamby business should be relegated to the rear in this country. The Indianapolis Journal touches the pith of the subject when it says: 'We are drifitinr into a very dangerous notioD that any particular crowd of men, possessing strength either through numbers or wealth, may with impunity set themselves tip as superior to the law. It is time that we, as apeople, should bring ourselves upstanding and think on these things. Tbe laws aref our laws all the time, not our laws when we like them and

the other fellow's laws when we don't. If enough of us do not like them there is an orderly and regular way for changing them. But while they are laws they must be enforced, not in a few places, but in all places, not against some that come in conflict with them, but against alL that violate them; not in a halting, hesitating, quibbling fashion, but promptly, sternly, relentlessly, by men who are blind to everything but grim, cold, passionless justice. Friend or foe, weak or strong, if he violate the law, let him suffer the full penalty imposed by the law, with deliberate, unswerving action ot the whole machinery of justice. It is only thusthat respect for the law because it is the law can be inculcated and maintained, and without such respect for the law which is but the orderly expression of the popular will no man is safe in life or property." The Law as to Court Costs. To those who have been filing suitsin court and waiting probably a year or so for settlement of the same before paying the accumulated cost, the new law will be a revelation. The sheriff's salary is now held up by the board of commissioners until he paysin all money due him for serving papers This he must demand, under the new law, of the party making it, .as soon as he has done the work. In a great many states a party filing a suit must deposit enough with his complaint to pay cost as it accumulates, or nothing will be done with his case till he does. It seemsour state is drifting to that end and if it t'nallv does the result will Ve wholesome in preventing suits brought by by irresponsible people who never expect to pay any cost. Rockefeller's Gift to Mcdicil Science. Mr. Rockefeller has given $6,000,000 to Rush Medical College. It will be remembered that Mr. Rockefeller had it impressed upon him, most painfully, that medical science can not yet cope with all diseases, when a favorite grandchild died. He at once provided for an institution foj investigation of the disease which Is very fatal to children and probably he has endowed Rush College with the same idea of advancing medical science to a point at which other diseases not yet successfully treated will be understood, their origin known and their cure made more sure. A Timely Word. The weaker the system, the more? enervating the heat and the greater the danger of prostration. This is a truism a proposition needing no argumeut. A word in favor of the systemic effects of Hood's Sarsaparilla is timely it is a fact that this peculiar medicine strengthens and tones all tbe organs and functions and builds up tbe whole system. We believe you will do well to take Hood's during the heated period. A Very Great Fall. Former Senator Charles A. Towner from Minnesota, now a Wall street business man, is hailed as successor to Bourke Cockran, in Tammany nall.-Record-Herald. Think of what "a fall" is expressed in the above paragraph! Only a few years ago Charles A. Towne was known as a leading republican, but through disappointment In not bein renominated for Congress from a Minnesota district he became "soured," became a Populist, then a "free silver" Bryanite and has now become a member of the most corrupt democratic organization this country has ever known. Bourke Cochran, according to reports, has left America and became a naturalized British subject, and Towne is to take his place! The fall is great very great. WarsawTimes. Indiana Veterans. Adjutant-General Neeley, of the state G. A. R., has issued a general order to the veterans of the state relating to the coming national encampment to be held at San Francisco the week of August 17. Department Commander Grubbs has joined In the call.
