Plymouth, Ind., September 10, 1903. Senator Arthur Pue Gorman's fin Jsü as a president is in sight. - Mr. Croker, from his British castle, is credited with saying that the Maryland statesman ought to be nominated by the democrats. Congressman Charles B. Landis declares in an interview that be is hot a candidate for governor, 'but will ask the republicans of the Ninth Indiana district to return him to congress. He likes Washington and would prefer to be there. Germany assents, but other powers object, to a proposal of Russia and Austria that coercive diplomatic action b3 taken at Sofia to sever relations between Balgaria and the Macedonian Insurgents, and the plan is believed to have fallen through.. During the past week one of the largest coal mine in Indiana was thrown Into idleness by a lack of cars in which to ship coal. .Yet it is said that very little new equipment is being ordered by the railroads this year. One way to hurt prosperity is to choke it to death. Six million dollars' worth of shoes have been sold abroad by American shoemakers within a year. This shows the exports in that line to have multiplied by twelve In ten years. Mexico, Cuba, and Canada each bought about $500,000 worth, and nearly all the remainder went to Great Britian. Indiana, like some other states, should pass a stringent law prohibiting combinations between fire insurance companies for the purpose of fixing rates. Under present conditions the insurance companies are free to raise rates as high as they please and and the people can do nothing but take their medicine and look pleasant. . The decision of the government authorities to introdace typesetting machines and modern labor-saving machinery in the Government Printing Office is entirely justifiable.' . The Government Printing Office is by. far the largest printing establishment in the world, and it should be equipped with the latest improvements and appliances. It is easier to get a dollar today than it ever was. and yet we are told by the socialist that the masses of the people are worse off tbao ihey were twenty years ago. The earning capacity of working people today is at least twenty per cent, higher per capita than it ever was prior to 1883. What then is the real cause of socialistic agitation? - Colombia, finding that a bluff game cannot be successfully played with the United .States, is now making arrangements for the negotiation of the canal treaty in such a way that their canal treaty will not be violated. The Indianapolis News says: 4,In these preliminaries the Colombians should remember that we have a constitution of our own; that we are the only purchasers on the market, and that we know it." The charge that the administration was too hasty in ordering warships to Beirut on the report, of the killing of the United States vice consul there is refuted by later developments. The situation has become so ' threatening that all the powers are ' preparing to send warships to Turkish waters. The Brooklyn and , the San Francisco reached Beirut Fridav, and it will be no discredit to the United States that its ships are the first to reach the scene of trouble. A general strike of express companies' employes, which Is threatened, would seriously crippi3 tho companies and cause heavy loss to business interests throughout the country. The employes are asking for a moderate increase of pay and claim their request is reasonable. The Brotherhood of Railway Expressmen numbers about 60,000, audit is said they will have the support, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors. The Indianapolis News on Saturday contained over four columns" of Irtrviews with leading bankers of Indiana on the Fowler currency bill, especially the asset feature, which will without doubt be considered at the coming session of congress. In Yiesr of the State Bankeis meeting at South Bend thl3vreek, where the bill, will likely receive additional consideration, the d::cuccion is timely zjs well nsbeing cf general Interest and. instructive.

Snowdrifts are hampering the movement of trains in Colorado. Surely this a pretty big country.

Twelve of the Danville, 111., lynchers have been found guilty and are to be punished. VThe world do move." Senator Tillman is reported as saying that he has had enough of lecturing and will quit the ptatform. But this news is too good to be true. The American Economist says the American farmer is not concerned over stock quotations, ne is too busy hustling for help. There is some uneasiness about Mark Raima's health, the Tom Johnson party beinc: afraid that be is going to get well. Indianapolis Star. Archbishop Ireland, addressing workmen at St. Paul, warned the labor unions that they must not abridge either the rights of capital or nonunion men in seeking their own. Evidences are increasing that the Interior Department is going tobe an able rival of the Postoffice Department in the business of entertaining the country with an investigation stunt. President Roosevelt at Syracuse said a community of interest, equal laws for all and the avoidance of envy, despotism and mob violence are the prime requisites for a prosperous national life. The English papers are almost unanimous in acknowledging that we are the better sailors. It takes forty or fifty years to make an Englishman see the point, but when be does be always buys. Breathitt county, Kentucky, might as well moke up its mind to be good. The Salvation Army is going to march on it in force, and the militia will now have a chance to see how it ought to have been done. The conviction of the riotous lynchers at Danville, 111., is a public benefit. The result will be a check upon lawless punishment of the lawless, and will incite to better enforcement of the law in cases of crime generally. It is now announced that David B. Hill again controls the democracy of Few York state, and that he will determine the candidates that the democracy will select for the national campaign. How will Tammany like that? The late Judge Horace P. Biddle said: "Man has endured more suffering from his brother man than from all the wild beasts of the field, all the birds of prey in the air and all the monsters of the mighty deep, combined. Bishop Joyce, who presided over the Northwest Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose sessions have just closed at South Bend, in his address to the assembled ministers deprecated the spirit of commercialism that looked to the high salaried positions rather than to a field tor the best religious effort. Secretary of State Hay, they say, has issued a very emphatic protest and has demanded as well an explanation from Colombia because of the suppression of cablegrams between Washington and Bogota. It is said that a number of Important messages relating to the canal treaty have been "lost" in transmission. Though Clarke, of Cevel?Jid, voted against Bryan In 1890, he voted for Bryan in 1900 and Is now running on a reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. Bryan considers this sufficiently repentant and offers Clarke the hand of party fellowship. Other goldbugs may expect Bryan's forgiveness on the same terms. Bulgarian reports place the number of victims of massacres by Turks at from 30,000 to 50,000. More than 150,000 inhabitants of Monastlr are said to be in hiding, many of whom are starving. Many Christians have been killed in rioting at Beirut, and an investigation of the conditions in that city is being made by Admiral Cotton. . Carroll D. Wright, the umpire to whom was referred the five disputes between the operators' and miners' representatives on the board of con ciliation appointed under the provisions of the the anthracite strike com mission, filed his findings Tuesday. On the question of the employer's right to discharge men for any cause other than that of connection with a labor union. Mr. Wright agrees wholly with the operators, ne declares that the right of an employer to discharge without giving the cause of the discharge is sustained by the award of the commission. Oezih cf E. P. Ccrnuny. E. P. Cormaay, a prominent citizen of Argos, well known throughout the south part Of the county, died suddenly Tuesday morning, of neuralgia of the heart. He leaves a widow and three children, one son and two daughters. The daughters are Mrs, Sherman Ellis, residing on the Oglesbc3 farm south of Plymouth and Urs. Dillingham, of Warsaw.

CARL MATTHEWS KILLED

His Head Torn to Pieces by the Accidental Discharge of a Shot Gun. One of the most deplorable accidents chronicled in this county for many years was the killing of Carl Matthews, son, of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper N. Matthews, Sunday morning. Carl with Jesse Nier, son of Robert Nier residing in the same block with the Matthews family near Oak Hill cemetery, took a shot gun and went out into the timber near Muckshaw, just south of the city Sunday morning. An hour later Jesse came running home and informed his father that Carl had been killed by the accidental discharge of the gun. Mr. Nier became excited and told his son that he would probably be sent to the penitentiary for life. This seemed to completely unnerve Jesse and he has remained in a kind of dazed condition ever since. Marshal Chaney went to the spot where the body lay and brought it to Undertaker Bunnell's. The gun was a breach loading shot gun, belonging to young Matthews and was loaded with a shell. The load had struck the boy just below the ear and almost the entire back part of his head was torn to pieces. All that young Nier would say about the accident was that they had been shooting chipmunks, had sat down to rest, that the gun was between them, he had a pipe and Carl made a paper cigarette. Carl asked for a match: he took one from his pocket, lighted his pipe and reached the match to Carl. At that instant the gun was discharged and Carl was killed. The story seemed unreasonable and Coroner Kyser who had been summoned from Inwood, adjourned the inquest until 9 o'clock Monday morning. When he returned to conclude the inquest he could get nothing more definite and returned a verdict of accidental shooting. The boys were close friends and almost inseparable companions. Jesse is at his home sick and it may be that when he gets better and becomes more calm, something more may be learned. It is a sad accident. The father of the boy is blind, a brother 22 years old was killed by an explosion at Fort Wayne six months ago. Besides the father and mother, two brothers and two sisters are left to mourn this sudden and untimely death. Deceased was between fourteen and fifteen years of age, and Jesse Nier is just a few months older. Funeral services were held at the residence at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Small Coins Outstanding. There are now outstanding 1,372,630,221 pennies. Many of these, however, have doubtless disappeared Into the oblivion which swallows up the pins. : Since the organization of the government 1,517,326,06 pennies haye been coined. Of these 133,696,847 haye been remelted, but the government does not remeU, them any more, because It is cheaper to buy fresh strips of bronze and make them from new metal. Old, worn and defaced pennies will be redeemed If they are brought to the treasury, but they are destroyed. Many years ago, when things were cheaper, the mints used to coin half cents, but none have been issued since the civil war; There are 7,895,222 outstanding, but probably most of them are lost or in the hands of coin speculators. ; . Of the large, clumsy copper 2-cent piece which was formerly issued 28,717,414 are. still outstanding. You sometimes see them nowadays, but not often. There used to be 3 cent pieces also, made of silver originally, but afterward of nickel. None have been coined since the civil war, but 20,930,5.19 are still outstanding, although most of them must be lost or de stroyed. . ' Last year 31,480,579 5-cent nickels were coined and issued, making a total of 385,072,052 now outstanding, which is about forty-five per capita of the population, although no doabt many of them have been destroyed. Stolen Morse Recovered. Sunday evening a young man driving a hoise that seemed very tired stopped at D. M. Beckner's at the foot of the Jordan hill south of Plvmouth Sunday evening and asked permission to stay all night saying that ho would sleep on the hay in the barn and cover himself with robes he bad in his buggy. He left sometime during night and left a note In the buggy saying that the horse had been stolen from a man named Shelby in South Bend. Officers herevwere notified Tuesday and a telephone message to South Bend elicited an answer that the horse had been stolen Saturday night and the owner would come on the noon train and get him. The horse was fourteen years old and wes not a very good traveler. Förths lztzzt telegraphic reports ess th3 TnrsTJiss.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT

The Horses ; Recovered and the Man Bound Over to Court The man who stole the fine young matched team from the barn of Clinton Jones in Green township, on the evening of Sept. 2, is now in jail in Plymouth and the horses are on their way home, and was found in excellent condition. The capture of the thief and the recovery of the horses are due to the persistent work of Sheriff Bondurant and John R. Jones, county clerk elect. John R. Jones and George D. Hartman, got on the track of the man and team in the vicinity of Bourbon last Thursday, and pursuing him eastwardly In the vicinity of Leesburg, where they lost the trail; but Jones taking it up again Frlcay following him to Milford where Jones was joined by Sheriff Bond u ran i and Charles Moon, Deputy Sheriff of Kosciusko county and a young farmer, W. M. McEwen of Milford, who followed him uu'Jl caught by Sheriff Bondurant and Bryan Wilkins, Deputy Sheriff of Branch county Michigan at the home of S. R. Bell who lives about 10 miles north and east of Montgomery, Mich. The rest of the posse consisting of John R. Jones, Deputy Moon, McEwen and farmer L. Langs, whom he had taken dinner with Saturday, being about half an hour In the rear. The man, who about 60 years old, gives his name as W. H. Nelson, but he stopped with Mr. Jones over night in July and then gave his name as James Whitman. He saw the line young team at that time and knew just where to find them. He had a horse and buggy, but turned the horse loose, hitched one of the Jones horses in its place and led the other. . He traveled in such a wy as to avoid as much as possible all large towns and telephone lines, ne often changed bis course so as to throw pursuers off his track. He was seen going SDuth several times, but bis desti nation was Saginaw, Mich., where he expected tn sell the horses. He drove slowly and took excellent care of the horses, ne fed them at noon every day alwavs stopping with farmers over night to whom he explained that he was a farmer and had bought the horse which he was leading to match the one he was driving. Messrs. Bondurant and Jones reached Plymouth Tuesday. Whitman was taken before Justice Molter where he entered, a plea of guilty and was taken back tov jail to await the session of court in October. Sheriff Bondurant, John R. Jones as well as Clinton Jones, from whom the horse was stolen,deserve the thanks of the entire community for their determined efforts which resulted in the capture of the thief. " Notice. On Saturday afternoon at a meeting held at the band rooms in Plymouth it was determined to hold a meeting at the court room in Plymouth on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12, 1903, at 1:30, for the purpose of organizing a Marshall county detective association, for the protection of horses and other property stolen from members of the proposed organization. Farmers, horse owners and all interested are requested to meet and become charter members, if they so desire, after hearing by-laws etc., read from other counties which have similar organizations. It may pay you big to attend this meeting. Horse owners should not fall to be present. H. H. Bondam. Chm'n. Sherman Orr, Sec'y. Next Conference at Terre Haute. - The Methodist conference In South Bind voted Saturday to hold its next annual session at Terre 'Haute. The ministerial delegates chosen to attend the national general conference in 1904, are Revs. D. M. Wood, E. A. Schell. W. H. Hickman and J. A. Maxwell.' Revs. Wood and Maxwell have both been preachers at Plymouth. Mr. Maxwell was here two years and Mr. Wood was here one year; he went from here to take charge of the Greencastle district " as presiding elder. A Little 'Temperance Lecture. John Korrady will probably be sent to the county poor farm. He cannot receiye proper attention at the jail, and as he has no friends, the poor farm is the only place-for him, Goshen News-Times. And this Is the whisky finish of one among the brightest, and most- congenial young tuen who ever lived in Goshen, Ills earlier associates can hardly realize that drink could bring such a man to the poor house. Nappanee News. ' . Atticks Grcdtd Schools. Dr. D. W.Dennis, of Earlham college, in an address before the Vigo county teachers, said the course of Instruction in the graded schools was wrong because the pupil under 13 was forced to use reasoning faculties that should be spared. Grammar and arithmetic could be taught in a few months after the pupil is 13 years old. By rearranging the system-a student would be ready, for a college at 16 Instead of 19 and 20 years ,ot age. Nature and ksemory studle3 should occupy the eight ycara of tho grades.

Tiring the Kids. Dr. Bryan of the State University says, "Don't tire the kids." He thinks they have too many studies and leave school too soon. He would have fewer lessons and take more time for them by makiug the high school course six years instead of four. Dr. Dennis of Earlham about the same time said that some of the studies of little children are beyond them and should, be transferred to the high school, where they could be learned in less than half the time by the maturcr scholars. . '. The two educators agree in thinking that the younger children are crowded too much, and, as Dr. Bryan puts it. time and energy are lost by forcing a child I to' study a thing before he is ready for it. But many will ob

ject to the leisurely limit of six years for the high school, which already seems too long for those in a hurry to enter college or to go to work. The suggestion is worth consideration, and the one thought underlying it of more thoroughness in the public school course, is always In order. Indianapolis Star. Stirring Indiana Doctors. Indiana doctors are stirring things up in the field of scientific discovery. A few weeks ago one was said to have discovered a method of generating life from matter; then another was reported as having demonstrated that deafness could be cured by radium, and now comes one who claims that the manner of using the thumb is a sure index of mental sanity cr insanity. "The person who does not use his thumb properly" says the doctor last named, "is either a lunatic or is bordering on insanity," but he neglected to state how to use the thumb properly. The doctors should give the lay public a little breathing time between discoveries. Indianapolis Journal. State Militia Entitled to Pay. The war department has published a decision of the comptroller of the treasury in which he hjlds that any portion of the organized militia that shall engage in actual field or camp service for instruction, and the organized militia of any state or territory that shall participate in any encampment, maneuvers and field instruction of any part of the regular army, at or near any post or camp on lake or sea coast defenses of the United States, are entitled to pay, subsistence and transprotation allowances for the time when such militia shall start from their home rendezvous to the time of their return to their home rendezvous.

' Samuel Biggens, section foreman of of the Pittsburg Bailroad, living last bouse on Minor . St., says: "When I first noticed kidney complaint some years ago the attacks were mild, but as time passed they became of longer duration and were more acut until about a year ago when they forced me to stop work and go to bed for three weeks, . I knew from the action of the kidney secretions which were highly colored and contained sediment and from their frequency particularly at night that to my kidneys was to be attributed the wie cause of the disturbance. That combined with severe pain across my loins which prevented me from stooping or doing anything with any degree of ease, led me to consult a doctor. He told me I was : verging on Bnght's disease. Things ran along like this for the last few months until I sent Mrs. Biggens to J. W. Hess' drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills. The treatment positively stopped too frequent ' action of the kidney secretions ant tided me over the last attack of backache. " Sold for 50 cents per box. FosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N.
