The Indianapolis Sentinel says that

H. S. and G. W. Loring have pur chaser! the Hamlet Times and will continue Its publication. Hamlet is a growing town, in the center of a rich country, which is just being fully developed, and we hope the boys will succeed:

Gen. Buckner is supporting a republican for governor in Kentucky.' No doubt there are many other democrats in the stat who disapprove of juries composed of twelve Goebelites to send men in favor of an honest ballot to the gallows.

Wm. E. Curtis says Dayid B. Hill is managing Judge Parker's campaign for the democratic presidential nomination and be concludes that Hill has recognized Bryan's enmity will defeat bis ambition to be president and he will therefore not attempt to secure the nomination for himself. In an address at Chicago Wednesday night Secretary Shaw said he was in favor of a reluct loa of the tax on bank circulation to increase the volume of currency. He advocated ship subsidies, and declared that the prosperity of the country is unclouded. He says the banks are in excellent condition, and he advocates the procuring of wider markets for American products. 1

That the patentees of the new process for makiDg fuel brick from a combination of refuse and resinous matter by a secret process are in earnest is shown by the completion of 6,000 brick at a yard near South Bend. Each brick contains sixty-four cubic inches and it Is claimed that one brick will cook an ordinary meal, It is also claimed that the new fuel has more heating strength and that it will cost only one-half that of hard coal. Experiments thus far have proved satisfactory.

Perishable freight now goes enormous distances in good condition. Texas steers travel to Devonshire, dressed beef to Birmingham. South Africa peaches reach the Fifth ayenue restaurant refrigerator and furnish, in their season, the dearest item on the bill of fare. Our own California peaches cross the Atlantic, materially reducing the price of what was an absurdly costly fruit in Paris. The refrigerator car and the cold storage ship's bold have made a seeming impossiblity a commonplace of transportation.

.The Indianapolis Commercial-Reporter of August 15 contained the official program of the State Bankers Association meeting to be held in South Bend Sept. 9 and 10. Senator A. J. Beveridge will deliver an address on Thursday forenoon. The junior Indiana senator has made a st idy of the banking and currency questions, and this accounts for his recently being called into the conference with President Roosevelt and the senate finance committee. His study of the financial and commercial interests of the east caused him to be made a member of the sub-committee to provide a

new system of currency for the Phil- J

ippines during the last session of con gress.

The Reliance, Lou Dillon and Dan Patch arc a fair example of the American tendency to get there.

Repeal of the war taxes reduced internal revenue receipts 841,000,000. Yet the treasury surpuls is $52,000,-000.

Secretary Shaw's estimate of the treasury surplus for the fiscal year was $9,000,000 below the actual figures.!

$506,000,000.

The Sultan is sorry that his troops won't obey orders, but if they won't behave themselves what can he do? He has already quit paying them', and be has no one to massacre them. The powers should not be unreasonable. Indianapolis News.

William E. Curtis argues for fair treatment of the Chinese, and says that while we are spending time and money to secure their their trade we are pursuing a narrow course in shutting out merchants, tourists and stu dents along with laborers.

The federal authorities have taken possession of a bridge across the Ohio at Marietta, on account of a dispute between contractors and stockholders that interfered with the transit of mails. It is best not to run against Uncle Sam at river crossings.

When Judge Wood of the Arkansas supreme court, who is opposing the election of Governor Davis for a third term, knocked the governor off the speakers' platform he made it apparent to everybody that he was determined to have a band in the campaign.

We would like to hear from the girls.

In the attempted trial of Professor Langley's airship, the only o'jstacle

encountered was that it wouldn't

work. Of course, the result was a

great disappointment to the interested scientists; but they will probably get used to disappointments if

they keep on trying. Airships are about as disappointing as perpetual motion.

The government's investigation of the numerous land and trust companies organized to beguile the Indians through the lease system has revealed the fact that a number of these land grabbers have unknowingly xne against the "civilized" Indian, and have got the worst of it. In their benevolent assimilation" of the lands belonging to this simple and untutored child of natute the agents and trust companies, it seems, were not careful in ascertaining whether an Indian had leased his allotment more than once. An Indian usually received an honorarium of $25 or $50 for executing a lease. The Indian, when civilized, is not a good bookkeeper and isn't bothered with a good memory. With true western thrift and business sagacity he leased his allotment every time he had an applicant. Having been robbed for many years by the Indian ajents, the enterprising red man took !dvanUe of his opportunity to bani the unite man a few bargains. One Creek "citizen" leased his allotment seventeen times and is still locking for more crrHcants. . . ,

aggregated 34,989,672 acres, of which 17,443,183 acres belonged to the states and municipalities. There, as also the woodlands of private Individuals,

are kept in a high state of scientific cultivation, as the preservation of forests i3 considered to be a matter of great importance for economic and hygienic reasons.

"Prominent residents" of New Roads, La., ambushed a colored friend of Booker Washington and riddled him with buck shot because he had been making some speeches to the colored people thereabouts which the p. r's. didn't like. The prominent residents being capable of this sort of cold-blooded murder it would be interesting to know what the rank and file of the community thereabouts are like. Indianapolis Sentinel.

The people of Lafayette are going to run what they style a "boom train" from "their city to Terre Haute September 15, carrying delegates to the convention to be held then for the purpose of urging congress to vote an appropriation to make the Wabash river navigable as far up Z3 Lafayette. The people of the Wabash valley are very enthusiastic in support of the river project, and Governor Durbin and Senators Fairbanks and Beveridje C3 well as other distinguished Indianlass are expected to te at Terre Haute to eddresa the convention.

- Lawlessness Never Succeeds. Governor Odell, of New York, was the speaker at the Fulton county fair in thüt state Thursday. Speaking of lawlessness and labor riots throughout the country, he declared these outbreaks should be met by force, and lessons taught which cannot be misunderstood. He said: "In all the history of the world lawlessness has never yet prevailed or government been a success which has had Its foundation upon anarchy and crime. Always the good in the community will assert itself and rapine and crime are brushed aside. Therefore the only safety for our accumulations, for our ambitions, rests upon the order and well-being of society. "Our law-making functions are lodged in the people through their representatives, and it would be much better for the government to correct those laws that are distasteful by legislation than to permit their constant violation by any considerable number of our people. Desire for popular clamor and applause which may lead us to sanction and approve measures which may' seem at the time to be vote-gathering instruments should be rebuked by the popular voice of the people. "It is not always popular to speak the truth, but there is a greater satisfaction to the conscience In so doing. Laws which may seem to be oppressive to any interest can always be corrected or abolished if the people so will it, and it is certainly more to our credit as a country to accomplish it through peaceful methods than by the exercise of brute force. "I am a believer in labor unions, and so long as their functions are exercised along lawful lines the right of the individual workman to pool his labor with that ot his fellow man is undisputed. Actions, however, that are out of harmony with our republican institutions should be prevented as much as actions which may oppress labor or depri ve it of its rights and

joyments."

An Emperor's Teachers. Great men seldom remember to give a part of the credit for their greatness to their school teachers, but the Emperor William does. He has paid a high tribute to the gymnasium or seminary and the teachers that prepared him for bis arduous position, which is the most difficult and laborious in all Germany. Men are rising to eminence in all of the professions which require education and mental training as a preparation. They are famous doctors, ministers, lawyers. judges, statesmen, president and monarchs. Their own superior talent and industry are given the credit for theii rise in the world and but little thought is given to the teachers who taught them, nor is there a question if in their plastic state of youth there was

a guiding influence or stimulus from some unknown teachers. William thanks his teachers for both his unu

sual and varied knowledge and his

prodigious power of work and application. He was so loaded In bis youth by his Instructors that industry be

came habitual and easy. With him

learning without Industry would be of little use and every scholar slipping easily through school or college will find that out. Indianapolis Star.

Wanted A Good Home. The generous response to our former

appeals lor homes for the childreu In

the orphans' homes of the state has

given happiness to a very large number of the older children and some of the tiny ones. . There are at present needing homes near five hundred very nice boys and girls from five to eight years of age. Experience has shown that the best results are secured where children of this age are taken into the family for care, love a3d training. The characters are j tit forming then and the dispositions s re more easily controlled than at oldei ages and the cldm cie quickly becomes a member of the f amny. . ' " Child-life is a natural part of every household and the heart yearns for it. The children need the care and love of father and mother. Through no fault of theirs they are denied this care on the part of their own parents. ' Is not your home open for a sturdy six year old boy, or a fine little girl? Address Broad of State Charities, Indianapolis, Indiana. Interesting Statistics. Of the 751 convicts ia the state prison at Michigan City during 1902, according to the biennial report of the state board of statistics, 434 were members of some church and only 90 had ever been members of some fraternal organization while of the' 919 in the reformatory at Jeffersonville 324 were members of some chuch and only 4 bad been members of some fraternal organization.

Nearly half of the voters of Valparaiso cast Sieir ballets. The total vote cast was 614.

Trials of the Pioneers. The Methodist conference at South Bend has been one of the most noted in the history of Indiana Methodism. There has been great enthusiasm and many powerful addresses in addition to the routine work of the conference. Friday morning Bishop Joyce spoke of the trials of the pioneers of Methodism in this state, and thought that the most of those in this conference scarcely realized vhat the old preachers had to undergo. They had no theological, training, or at least the training of theolosrical schools; therefore their preaching was genuine and right from the heart. The bishop said -that he did not wish to be put down as against the theological school, but be did wish those schools would introduce a new chair and call it the chair of common sense. It was needed In the training of young men for the ministry. Some of them actually lost their best traits by too much book learning. The preacher should be skillful in himself and the- school shoula help his skill to reach the hearts of men. It should be the first thought of a preacher to appreciate first that those who come to bear him are always full of heartache and they are looking for consolation extended to them in such a manner as will be effective and will act as a balm for the affliction that Is troubling the soul. The whole thing should be preached, nothing dodged, nothing added to. The path for the preacher is laid out fully by the scriptures and he should get his inspiration there. Holiness should be preached; not the sour, cranky kind, that only makes men feel bad and bitter, but that which is cheerful and gracious.The bishop liked to see young men who were strong within themselves, who had the right kind of judgment, who would study human nature as well as the scriptures and know the people with whom they had to come in contact in the capacity of pastor. The address was quite long and filled with good advice to Methodist preachers especially, and was eloquent and stirring.

Lay Delegates Elected. The delegates to the annual conference at South Bend met Friday morning and elected four delegates to the general conference, which meets at San Francisco in May, 1904. The candidates were as follows: G. F. Keiper, Lafayette: W. E. Carpenter, Brazil; W. F. Roney, Terre Haute; J. W. Trotter, Danville. P. O. Jones, Plymouth; Marvin Campbell. South Beud; B. F. Ibach, Hammond; O. P. Kinsey, Valparaiso; J. V. Kent, Frankfort. The selection was made on the first ballot, the four highest, Hon. Marvin Campbell, Dr. George Keiper, W. E. Carpenter and Judge J. B. Kent, being delegates, and W. F. Ronev, P. O. Jones, B. F. Ibach and J. W. Trotter, alternates.

Bryan Supports a Gold Man. In giving his support to John II. Clarke, the choice of the Ohio democracy for the United States senatorship, William Jennings Bryan has acted in a way hardly to be expected, when one considers the bitterness with which he has heretofore kept up his attacks upon all "gold-tainted" democrats. While his attitude by no means assures a satisfactory basis of compromise at the next democratic national convention, it may be taken as indicating the nossibility of compromise. Open Season For Water Fowls, Under the Indiana game laws amended by the last legislature, the killing of wild geese, wild ducks, brant and other water fowl is legal on. and after Sept. 1 for a period of seven months, to April 15. Frem October 1 to November 10, however, hunters must be provided with permits in ors der to kill water fowls. The permits may be obtained from the State Commissioner of Fisheries and Game. The open season for quail begins November 10. .

Fire at Burr Oak. There came near being a big fire at Burr Oak Friday evening. The Maxey barn, with three other small barns, were burned. Several tons of hay some grain and a buggy belonging to Harry Ruple, went up in smoke. Three or four houses and the grain elevator were on fire at different times, but the whole town turned out, 2nd with buckets and ladders, and no serious damage was done, except the burning of the barns. Tar and Feathers Threatened! A special from MIshawaka to the Indianapolis Star says: 'Thomas B. Lally, who deserted his prospective bride at the altar, was overtaken at Njlcs, Mich., and decUres he is willing to marry her now.' Miss Ganser spurns him, however, and should Lally return he may get a coat of tar and feathers. The sentiment is exceedingly strong here. " Tremble fcr Russia. A new revolutionary party has been formed in Russia to meet force with force and terror with terror. If it suc

may have something else to do besides keeping the Manchunaa door lcelicd.

- Relative Values of Indiana Lands. The state board of tax commissioners last week gave out the figures of its equalization of the assessment of real estate in every town, city, township and county in the state. The figures show an increase of from 10 to 50 per cent, in value of land and improvements in many counties, while decreases are shown in many others Outside of Marion county, Benton county land was assessed at the highest figure. Hancock, Madison, Shelby and Hamilton counties are the others outside of Marion with high assessments. The assessment of Crawford county is the lowest of any in the state. Perry, Brown, Martin, Orange, Harrison, Lawrence and Scott are others with very low assessments. The average value of land in Marshall county is $22.19 per acre; land and improvements, $25.86.

The Northwest Indiana conference now In session at South Bend, directs attention to the first Methodist conference held in America 119 years ago. It met at Baltimore on Christmas day, 1784. Sixty-one clergymen were present, and Francis Asbury was there made superintendent or bishop. The first delegate conference was held in New York in May, 1812, and a general conference to make laws for the church nas been held in May every four years since that time. The next general conference will be held at San Francisco in May, 1904. Bishop Asbury little dreamed to what extent this organization would develop. It is now a church with over four millions of members, and has Immense book and publishing bouses in all the large cities of America, its own foreign missionary societies, and various auxiliary societies, which no church bad when it was organized. More Horses Stolen. norse thieves stole a fine matched team of brown three-year-old horses from the home of Clinton Jones, in Green township, five miles southwest of Argos, Wednesday night. It seems that the thieves had two horses and a buggy, probably stolen somewhere,

but one of the horses was not. a good

traveler and they took him out, turned him loose and hitched one of the Jones horses in his place just before reaching Argos. They drove through Argos at midnight and were seen passing through Lapaz, going north, at 3 o'clock this morning, leading one horse behind the buggy. Mr. Jones and City Marshal Chaney are making a systematic effort to capture them. Pressed Chicken Poisons. Nearly 200 persons were poisoned at the family reunion held at the home of Simon Wbansetler, near Swan, Noble county, by eating pressed chicken kept In tin cans. The guests had gathered at the Wbansetler home to attend a great fatally reunion. The dinner was concluded before the effects of the pressed chicken were felt. In a short time, however, several of the guests became ill and a few minutes afterwards the great majority of those present were sick.
