The Evansville affair cost the state nearly $4,000, while the property loss is placed at t40,G00. A thirty-year-old confidential clerk at Buffalo is charged with embezzling over $300,000. This is surely an era of young men and large transactions. Disclosures of extortion by New York labor unions is expected during the trial of Lawrence Murphy, former stonecutters' union treasurer; $200,OOO it is alleged was paid In one year to prevent strikes. The Irish land bill passed the House of Commons by a vote of 317 to 20. This is a remarkable victory for the government and it is believed that when it becomes a law ii will mark the beginning of peace and prosperity for Ireland. It is somen h it surprising to learn that prohibition is making greater progress in Texas than In any other state. Out of 230 counties 130 have voted total prohibition, fifty-nine partial prohibition and others are fallmg into line. Nothing quite so sickening In the way of official corruption has ever come to light as the letters of former Lieutenant Governor Lee, of Missouri begging for bribes and characterizing himself as "a money-seeking fellow -with ad itching palm." The United States has 202,471 miles cf railway, or 46.288 more than the British, German and Russian empires combined.-And the toot of the American locomotive is heard in all climes, quite eclipsing the morning drumbeat that keeps company with the hours.

Booker T. Washington's words, "Whoever, North, or South, black or white, stirs up strife needlessly by ' word or deed, is an enemy to both races and to his country," areas altogether timely as they as , they are absolutely true.

The Lafayette Sunday Times, an independent paper of J. Frank Hanly 's home town, strongly criticizes Mr. Hanly for entering the gubernatorial lists and thus endangering the chances of Daniel E. Storms of the same city for a renomination as secretary of state. That Buffalo clerk who "utilized" nis employers' monev and made $100,000 in real estate speculations is said to be mentally unbalanced. Thecircumsatanee inevitably recalls the historic anecdote of General Grant's whisky that is to say, it suggests that rxost real estate speculators could 0 crazy to great advantage.

The Saline, (Kans.) Index thinks It has discovered a new endless chain. "Every ' farmer boy," it observes, """wants to be a school teacher, every school teacher wants to be an editor, every editor would like to be a banker, every banker would like to be a trust magnate, and every trust magnate hopes some day to own a farm and have chickens and cows and pigs and horses to look after. We end where we begin." It Is said to be the Intention of many of the cotton mill owners of New England and the South to close their works for a few weeks in August so as to make their present supplies i-l cotton last as. long as possible, or until some of the new crop begins to come to market. This is done as a means of knocking out the cotton gamblers, who have established a corner on the

supply now in hand, and have sent the prices up to exorbitant figures, The Kansas City Star, Col. Wm. R. Nelson's newspaper, has begun successfully the operation of its own paper mill, built at Kansas City, Kan., mithin the last nine months. The ca pacity of the mill is forty tons of white paper daily, all of which will be consumed by the Star and Col. Nelson's morning paper, the Times. The paper is made from pulp shipped from Canada. The London Telegraph is the only other newspaper in the world that manufactures Its own paper.

The Goshen Times says there will be good reason for no Beveridge opposition in Elkhart county and any attempt of anti-Beveridge men to get men on the legislative ticket will be headed off.

The efforts of anarchists to cause a cessation of all labor, the world over, is probably due to that tired feeling resulting from the warm summer weather. Next winter when the coal trust, the food trust, and the rest of the family of trusts stare them in the face it Is out of date now to speak of the time honored wolf they will no doubt be willing for laborers to work in order that they themselves may be able to subsist from the charity of the workers. Prominent republicans of Michigan are organising a movement to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of tne republican party. They claim that the party had its birth at Jackson, Michigan., la 1854, though they do not give particulars. A state convention of anti-Nebraska citizens, irrespective of formor political affiliation, was held at Detroit, July 6, 1854, and it is claimed this convention was the first to adopt the name republican. The truth is the republican party sprang into existence in many places about the same time, and It,s birth as a national party can only be said to date from its first national convention, in Philadelphia, June 17, 1856. CHAIRMAN JOHN BOSS. W. H. Blodgett, the political correspondent of the Indianapolis News, has been interviewing the politicians of St. Joseph and Elkhart counties and says the fight for district chairman and member of the republican state committee for the Thirteenth district will probably be between John Boss of Marshall county and Walter Brown of Elkhart. We think Mr. Blodgett is mistaken. John Boss has never tried to be a rx litical leader, 'but we have no doubt he would be a great improvement over little "Frankie'' Boss, who as county chairman, allowed his own township to be changed from a republican majority of 70, in 1894 to a democratic majority of almost 200 in 1902. John Boss is a sensible republican and would not try to reduce the number of republicans in the district. If he was chairman of the organization, the democratic committee would not say, as they did of little VFrankie" Boss, that they would contribute $100 to the republican committee, to have him continued as chairman because democrats could thus have the management of both committees. The Swyart Will Broken, The Swygart will case' which had been on trial at Valparaiso four weeks on a change of venue from St. Joseph countv was decided in favor of the plaintiffs and the property will be divided equally among the children if the decision of the jury stand. That the will would be broken was not entirely unlooked for, as it is ever the case that a jury will break Vwill where it looks as though persons entitled to a share of an estate have been deprived of the same by the testator, because of whim or mental irregularity. George W. Swygert was a wealthy South Bend resident, who at bis death left an estate valued at about $200,000. It consisted of property in South Bend, Danville, 111., and Elkhart. The bulk of the estate, according to the will, was to go to Edward and John Swygert, who were said to be in much better circumstances than the rest of the children, and not so greatly in need of a portion of their father's estate. The complaint charged unsoundness of mind. And the attorneys for the plaintiffs were Congressmen Crumpacker, of Valparaiso and Brick, of Soutii Bend, assisted by Mr. Bates. The attorneys for the defense were Agnew, of Valparlaso, and Drummond and Meyer, of South Bend. Prominent Maccabee Insane The many Maccabees in Elkhart will regret to learn that George J. Seigle, the , supreme record keeper of the order, is dangerously insane, and is practically In the custody of the authorities ?.5 Port Huron. He suffered a paralytic stroke a year ago, and recently his wife '8 condition has been serious, caused primarily by the birth of a babe. Seigle's culminating evidence of insanity was his search for the attending physician for the purpose of killing him, though the physician had twice snatched the patient from the grave.

The Pope and Old Age. The story of the elevation of Cardinal Pecci to the papacy has within the past fortnight been told with such interesting details that the lesson, we may be sure,, has not been lost on the politicians. He was sixty-eight, and frail. There was a warm contest for the office, and some of the younger members of the Sacred College, thinking to have a second try after a few years, voted for the candidate who seemed nearlng his end. Five years under the burdens of the papacy seemed a liberal allowance for him. So they put him In, and he has outlived them all. At ninety-four be has made a fight for his life which has challenged the wonder and and admiration of the world. Take the case of Mr. Piatt, of New York. He is seventy, and some of the younger men la his party have their eyes on his offices. He speaks of himself as an old man, and those who are hoping to succeed him in the Senate try to persuade themselves that he is old. But he takes excellent care of himself, and may see ninety.- He may outlive and continue to outmaneuver the whole squad of scheming, aspiring youngsters. Mr. Quay is seventy, and talks in a guarded way about retiring from office. But does he mean it? Is be really an old man? Fishing in Florida waters in winter and hunting in the Maine woods in summer ought to prolong life. Mr. Quay is neither . a pauper nor a slave. He attends to

business, but at the same time manages to get a good deal of rest and pleasure out of life. Those "kids" in Pennsylvania who are waiting for his shoes may have occasion to exercise a good deal of patience. Mr. Hanna is f 'getting along," and has rheumatism. But he keeps in close touch with his doctors and obeys orders. He may still be on deck twenty years from now. -Mr. Cleveland, nearing the seventy mark, is as sound as a winter apple. General Miles, at sixty-four, is taking horseback exercises which would wear many a younger man to a frazzle. Richard Olney and Senator Gorman, at about the same age, are very alert, and require uo glasses to read about their presidential booms. Henry Watterson, along in the sixties, and after forty years in harness, writes with as much wit and force as he did a quarter of a centeury ago. This is said to be the era of young men. Maybe. In a certain sense it is- But Leo XIII has caused a new line tobe run between young and old men. Many men are young at seventy. The Pope's greatest work has been done since that age. Washington Post. Senator Parks at Indianapolis. Senator Parks was at Indianapolis last Tuesday and the Indianapolis Journal asked him whether he intended to be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Parks replied that he did not know. He said Kosciusko cimnty ha v ing a majority of delegates in the nominating convention Marshall county would have to accede to their wishes and as Kosciusko county bad been very kind to him in the past he did not think he would try to get a renomination unless a majority of Kosciusko county delegates wished him to be a candidate. That he did not want to make a fight for the Senatoren ip If Kosciusko republicans indicated that they wanted a -candidate from that county. In commenting on this the Journal said:"Senator Parks was one of the most industrious members of the senate during the last session. He Introduced more bills than any other senator, bis total reaching well up into the twenties, but, what is more to the point, more of .his bills became laws than those of any other two senators. Thirteen of the measures be Introduced were passed, received the approval of the governor and now form a part of the acts of 1903. None of these laws Is of exceptional importance, but they all contribute to the record of their author. However, Senator Parks 's ' energies were by no means confined to getting his own bills passed. As chairman of the first division of the judiciary committee he occupl sd one of the most responsible positions In the senate and one that entailed a large amount of hard work. The committee handled a large number c! bills, but as a result largely of the activity of the chairman they wers all disposed of with remarkable promptitude. Now Let tht Battle Go Onl . War, said Gen. Sherman, Is hell. So is politics, replied Judge Jewell. Anyhov, the potwalloper is on deck, and, until the great body of taxpayers take the time and trouble to look Into their affairs, they need not complain of rings and bosses of pickings and stealings, of corruption, both In high and low places.

Death of Cassius M. Clay. General Cassius , Marcellus Clay,duelist, abolitionist, statesman, author, hero of a marriage at 84 to a girl of 14, whom he afterward gave up that she might marry a young lover, and known far and wide as the sage of White Hall, died Wednesday night at 9:10 o'clock. The room- wherein he expired is a veritable arsenal. In a hall just outside there is a loaded cannon. The arms were got together to repel an attack of an imaginary vendetta. In his last moments the nonagenarian's former child wife, widowed by the killing of her second husband by a train, v was his devoted nurse. About the dying man were his children, some of whom had not entered White Hall or seen their father for years because of bis hallucination that they were in a vendetta sworn to kill him. General Clay, the "Lion of Whitehall," did things on a heroic scale during the troubled years of his long life.- He was a' great abolitionist when Lincoln was a country lawyer and John Brown unheard of. He was was United States ambassador to Russia after the civil war, and claims credit for the purchase of Alaska. He was a soldier in two wars, a politician and a mighty duelist. It was the early duels of Clay that threw around him the halo of romance when the unfortunate domestic difficulties of his later life brought him again to the country's notice. He was a marked man in bis native State of Kentucky from the moment that he made a virulent anti-slavery speech a student at Yale College in 1832. The bloodiest of the veteran fighter's affrays was that with Sam Brown, a desperado - hired to kill him. Tne proslavery campaign made by Robert Wickliffe In running for Cengress aroused the determined opposition of Clay and his death was .decided upon. The attack took place in a political meeting, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away Brown was lying at death's door minus a nose, an eye and an ear, and bleeding from countless cuts on other parts of the body. This was the work of Clay's Bowie knife, which he useil in preference to a pistol. Clay himself was struck over the heart by a bullet, and only saved from death by the accidental interposition of the sheath of his knife. About fifty other sanguinary "rencounters," as the Kentuckians styled them, marked the course of the general's life. General Clay wal a hero of the Mexican war, was a republican from tbe'foundation of the party until his death, and forty years ago was one of America's most- brilliant political orators. Death of Richard Corbaley. Richard Corbaley, the first white child born in Marion county, and one of the pioneers of Marshall county, died at his home at Waterville, Washington, Thursday night July 16, at midnight, aged 84 years. All the old settlers knew Richard Corbaley one of the founders of the Church of God, tietter known as the Second Day Advent church, and one of the ablest and most eloquent preaches that denomination ever had ne served as county clerk here from September 4, 1849 to April 30, 1855, and was a man who held the respect and confidence of the people of the entire county. ' He owned the farm on which Antlocb church was built and gave the land and the lumber for the erection of the church. Born before Iodianapalis was even a village, a pioneer of this county, a resident of California over thirty years ago, a pioneer of the state of Washington, and always working to make men better, he has livtd in a re marable period in the world's history and had seen this -country grow almost from infancy to be one of the mightiest nations of the earth. He leaves six. children, all residents of the Pacific states except John Corbaley, who now resides at Indianapolis. - Cassius M. Clay and the Czan As an example of the late General Cassius M. Clay's, courageous independence amounting at times almost to Impudence, it is related that when he was presented tD the czar of Russia as a diplomatic representative from the United State he kept his hat firmly on his head, while all others in the room at the time respectfully removed jtheirs. A court attache intimated to Clay that he should remove his hat in the imperial presence. "I'll not do it," was his characteristic reply in refusing to comply with the request. "I take off my hat to no man who does not take off his hat to me."

Ve WiH Wtit d See. Secretary Hay has usually succeeded in solving the diplomatic problems he hta undertaken. The presumption, therefore, is that he will succeed with the llancburian open door issue.

Tucker Divorce Suit, The Crawfordsville Journal says the following in commenting on the divorce suit of Mrs. Gertrude Tucker, against her hnsband, Rev. H. A. Tucker, a former Plymouth preacher. Those who have followed Dr. Tucker's career since he left Crawfordsville are not surprised at the outcome of his marital relations. Mrs. Tucker had many friends in the church here who felt that her husband was tyrannical with her. She was a modest, retiring little woman. It was nine or ten years ago that he finished a three years' pastorate here and went to Terre Haute. Next he landed in Valparaiso and it was there that they separated. She went to Greencastle with

her three children, Paul and two little girls, the explanation being given that she went to educate the children. But they have never lived together since and that has been two or three years. Dr. Tucker retained his position as pastor of the Valparaiso church for a year after Mrs. Tucker left him and then became vice-president and traveling organizer of the Anti-Saloon League. The amount of alimony seems to be excessive for a minister to pay, but it is known that Dr. Tucker is possessed of considerable property. He was in Crawfordsville a couple of days ago looking after a farm that he owns south west of the city a few miles. In this connection it will be of interest to many to learn that Paul Tucker who was a half grown boy here, has grown up to be a very odd appearing and queer acting man. Like his father he wears his hair long and also a full beard which grows in an unkept manner for several inches down his face, He lives on a farm near Greencastle and last summer came to town with his pants in his boots and got married by a justice of the peace. Potatoes to Be No Cheaper.' James L. Keach, the Indianapolis potato king, says there is little prospect for cheap potatoes. "The government reports from all over the country," he says, show the potato crop to be a little better than it was no July 1, 1901. That was the year when we had potatoes at one dollar a bushel. Now the condition of the growing crop being a little better than two years ago, does not mean that they will reach one dollar. It simply means that the crop, as far as it goes is slightly better than two years ago. Last year we had potatoes ruling at from forty to fkty cents. Now they are seventy-five to eighty cents, with the dollar mark as a possibility. It will not be a year for cheap potatoes. The reason is found in the spring floods. The Kaw valley crop, estimated at 3,000 cars, orabout 15,000,000 bushels, was drowned out by the flood and the overflow of the American bottoms near St. Louis, caused great damage. So, while the crop is improved in contrast with the crop of the same two years ago; there will be much less acreage. Home consumption will require the new home crop, which wlllbe about exhausted by the time we begin to draw on the northern crop. Then withe the steady demand and shcrt acreage, there is no prospect for cheap potatoes He Rules Mis Appetite. "He ruled his appetite and overruled his palate," is a-current newspaper reference to the lamented Pope Leo. South Bend has a noted citizen in the person of James Oliver, the famous plow manufacturer, of whom the same in truth may be said. He, too, "rules his.appetlte and overrules his palate." Indeed, he has done this for many years, and at the age of 80 he has the satisfaction of being able to give as close attention to business and looking after the affairs of the great institution of which he is the honored bead as if he were a man of 60 instead of 80. South Bend Times. Four-fifths of a Million Emigrants. The number of emigrants to the United States during the fiscal year just ended exceeded the combined population of Montana, North Dakota. Wyoming and Idaho in 1900, or the present population of North and South Dakota together. And yet we can assimilate upwards of 800,000 foreigners annually without knowing it save from the immigration statistics. The people now coming to our shores are not all desirable, butwe shall no doubt make good citizens of most of them. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for kindness, assistance and sympathy during the illaess and after the death of our husband and father. Mrs. Mary Glass and Family. Notice,To Whom It May Concern: I am frequently, asked by parties if I had signed the petition to stop the sale of excursion tickets from Plymouth to Chicago. Seems that I - am charged of it, will 1 state that I have never signed no petition to that effect," so please do not Include me in the mix up. Youn Truly, W. C. HiLLrr., "Grocery."
