Elmer Crokett, of the South Bend Tribune,' was in Indianapolis Monday night, and the Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday coutained the following: ' From Information that Süds its way tu the capital from the northern end of the state some Interesting light is thrown on the situation in the Thirteenth. It is learned thai Rome C. Stephenson, of Rochester, is regarded as the real Beyeridge candidate for the chairmanship, although it was at first understood that Frank W. Boss, of Plymouth, bad been brought out bv the rriends of the junior senator. The btory goes that Mr. Boss was first approached by the Beveridge people with the suggestion that he could be elected district chairman if he would say the word and that be said the word; where-üpon it developed that he adhered to the position that the state committee should be an impersonal organization and then an effort was made to induce him to stay out of the race. He decided to stay in to the riuish and then the element that had firt assured him of support is said to have brought out Mr. Stephenson. Mr. .Stephenson was considered a candid ite for the chairmanship two years ao until just before the convention, when he withdrew and was made chalrraah of the convention, while "Walter Brown. Elkhart, was elected committeeman. Mr. Brown Is a candidate for re-election and the fight is at prsent a three-cornered one, although a combination between the B'ss and Brown forces is pointed out out as one of the possibilities of the Cimpaisn." ; If Mr. Crockett had said that Mr. Boss posed as the Beveridge candidate until the deceit acd dupliclty of the of the Boss Brown combination was S3 fully shown by the Plymouth Tribune that it could no longer be denied by anybody, he would have told the exact truth. The Tribune believes in honesty in politics, and that no dishonest party can ever succeed permanently. The Tribune will have no quarrel with Brown, Bass and Crockett on account of their mauly support of any candidate, but it absolutely refuses to be a party to political deceit. Sir Claude MacDonald, British minister to Japan, is mediating between that country and Russia. The mikado is said to have named bis terms, which are now being submitted to the czar. The chief demands are the evacuation of Manchuria with free trade in that province, and that the country touth of the Yalu River be recognized as in Japan's sphere of influence. The theft of a $1,500. diamond brooch from Mrs. Dowie in New York recalls the fact that Elijah of old came to the court of Ahab In "the rough camel's-hair garment of the prophets and with nothing of value in his train, while Elijah II travels In a Pullman car and his wife wears costly gems. Times have changed, and the prophets with them. Indianapolis Journal. AVLen a man or woman develops an unusal degree of sagacity In using the forces of intelligence, organization and up;rstition, certain people think him or her imbued with the divine. Dowie is a great orgauizer, and knows how to appeal to reverence, and as a result has been deified by a large number of people who never think, but follow any shrewd leaders with infatuated blindnes Elkhart Review. Sinie Mr. Cleveland retired from the Presidency, Uncle Sam has paid the expenses of the Spanish War, largely increased his army and navy and put his interest bearing debt on th bright side of the billion dollar Iinj down to $912,000,000 aud debt less cash in the treasury to $317,000,000." Last month he paid over $6,000,000 on account of his debt, spent $54,000.000 less during the last fiscal year than his income, and now has an a:tie cash working fund of $86,000,000. Senator Fairbanks, who was chairman of the American contingent of the British and United States joint high commission that met in 1893 in. Quebec to take up the Alaskan boundary question, is well pleased with the decision reported in th despatches from Lonaon. He says: "The decision of tbe Alaskan boundary commission is eminently satisfactory. It sustains the entire American claim and is essentially a complete justification of the position taken by the American members of the United States and British 'joint high commission which met in Quebec in 1898. The United States will now be permitted to hold &11 tne territory in Alaska purchased of RuIa in 1867 without further dit pute.

"Free-trade is an empty name," says Premier Balfour, and, he .might have added, brings an empty stomach. While Iloltzman carried the Second ward the banner republican ward of Indianapolis by sixty-one plurality, the republicans made a gain oyer the thirty day poll in the banner democratic ward the Twelfth of 805; an average cf forty-seven votes to the precinct.

An Indianapolis dispitch says that the rumor that the Sentinel may go into the hands of a receiver is the cause of the ieading democrats of the state,organizing to form a stock company, to purchase the state organ. The Sentinel evidently made a most costly mistake . In abandoning the morning.field for the evening. With the Alaskan, boundary dispute out of the way, we shall probaly never have another one with Canada. The settlement of the boundary line In the Northeast occupied many years, and caused much friction, as did also that of the Northwest later. .With the Alaskan boundary settled it is not perceived how any similiar dispute can arise in the future. In.theeyesof Joseph Chamberlain the" Protective Tariff of the United States Is an "abomination." It does not seem to have occurred to' this Bvitish statesman that our tariff system was devised to please the people of the United States and no one else. The framers of the Dingley law had in view the interests of this country and not the interests of foreigners. In his last speech at Chicago which referred, to the easy-going and selfsatisfied citizen who does not take an interest in politics because he is good enough for himself, but indifferent about others. Ex-President Cleveland hit many who exert no positive influence, but are negative in all ehat concerns the great business of government, which, in a country like this, belongs to the whole citizenship. From the register of the treasury comes the gratifying statement that "thcamount of United States bonds held by foreign individuals is so insignificant that it may be said that the national credit is entirely upheld by domestic money." This fact shows how a portion of the balance of trade in favor o this country has been paid. Foreign holdings of government bonds have been purchased by Americans and returned to this country. The race ror " the mayoralty ot Greater New York between Seth Low and George B. McCtellan is said to be almost an even thing, with the chances perhaps a trifle in favor of Low. The main obstacle in McClellan'spath is the attitude of the Brooklyn democracy. There seems to be no letting up there.' Brooklyn gave Low over 26.000 majority two years ago against one of her own sons, Edward M. Shepherd. If this should be increased Low will certainly be elected. The registration is very heavy," which indicates that deep interest is being taken in the campaign and that an exceptionally large yote is likely to oe polled. These words of Presidents Roosevelt referring to Gen.Shermanj aie worthy of preservation; MIt is well to keep alive the memory of those men who are fit to serve as examples of what is loftiest and best In American citizenship. Such a man was Gen. . Sherman. To the very few in any generation is it given to render such services as he rendered; but each of us in bis degree can try to show something oi those qualities of character upon which, in their sum, the high worth of Sherman rested his courage, his kindliness, his clean and simple living, bis sturdy good sense, his manliness and tenderness in the relations of life, and, finally,, his inflexible rectitude of soul and bis loyalty to all that in this free republic Is hallowed and symbolized by the national flag. " The New York ' Post, In commenting on the National Irrigation congress, held in Utah, says: "Through the convention's proceedings it has been made manifest that, in the cornlag session, congress will be askei to giye additional aid to the great work of transforming the desert into fertile lands. But the steps thus far taken under the new irrigathi law have shown that the undertaking Is subject to ereat abuses by reason of faults existing in public-land distribution. The government is constantly being de frauded' by speculators who absorb

either for ranches or for purposes of speculation lands that properly should go to actual settlers, The great west is espescJally interested in the outcome. It has direct and positive advantages to gain from a fair distribution public lands. To bring to the western states bona fide settlers and their families means added prosperity and richer harvests; to give.the public lands to speculators and cattle-ranchers means squandering a portion of our national wealth and a wrsteful spending of the west's greatest resource its farm soli. It is estimated tut t.e vrCwerd t.e cf ceiratien t i c ecrCw3 tvie .,!ppi 4vO.C3 heme sr3 cnm..lly"

When Premier Balfour said that "a nation depriving Itself of the power of bargaining could neyer make a good bargain, "he hit the nail squarely on the head." - - - - ' .

Fuslonists of New York are much encouraged by the registration, which snows notable gains in the republican strongholds and corresponding decreases in the Tammanv wards. The Canadian members of the boundary arbitration board appear to be acting like children. , Tiuir medU cine is not so bad that they should make such a horribly wry face over it. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Dunlop, English sisters, who discovered the Syrian version of the four gospels, the oldest biblical manuscript known, have arrived in New York to lecture on their work. Cash grain situation on the Chicago market favors the bulls, the prices for spot wheat advancing more than fu tures. The price of corn continues weak and provision stocks decrease slowly. Dr. Dowie is chagrined by the behavior of his first audience in New York, which satisfied its curiosity and departed in the middle of the service at Madison Square Garden, despite his orders and Zion guards. Mr. Thomas Taggart, of Indianapolis, has been Invited to take part in the democratic mayoralty campaign in New York City, and says he will address the Gothamites, and do bis best to win the election for the Tammanyites. On October 1 the per capita money In circulation reached the recordbreaking figures of $29.75, Since October 1. 1902, the amount of money in circulation has increased nearly $.129,000,000, while the per capita circulation has increased $1.11. There seems to be little prospect of war between Russia and Japan just now, but why there was almost certainly to be war a week ago and almost certain not to be now isn't very clear to a person taking a long-distance view of the situation by cable. The Indianapolis Sentinel is now booming James L. Reach, the democratic chairman in the recent Indianapolis city campaign, for chairman of the state committee. To make room for bim, the Sentinel Is also booming State Chairman W.H. O'Brien for the democratic nomination for governor. Attorney General Miller has decided that state banks have no right to reduce their capital stock, notwithstanding the legislature has enacted a statute that appears to give banks this right. At the attorney general's office it is held that the statue is confusing, and that there Is really no law providing for this reduction. America Is given two islands which dominate the Portland Canal and Port Simpson by the Alaskan award officially made public. This will enable the United States to command the terminus of the new Canadian transcontinental railway. The Canadian commissioners, declared their country betrajed and refused to sigh. -. ' ' About the most useless suggestion that has been made in regard to currency legislation is that congress pro vide for a commission to inquire into the subject and report its findings. This would mean merely a large appropriation to pay the salaries of a commission and crops of clerks, and another considerable, addition to- the government printing bill. . .Sot one member of congress in twenty would ever read the report. . There is a consensus' of opinion among those who have made a study of the industrial situation that troublous times are ahead. A gradually falling market and steadily increasing wages have created a situation where large employers of all kinds have found it .necessary to call a halt. A great many men are oeing laid off by railroads and manufacturers, especially unskilled laborers, and many employers declare that the maximum limit of wages has already been passed. The Indianapolis Journal says newspapers throughout the state have taken up the suggestion that James L. Keach, of that city, should -be elected chairman of the democratic state committee, and the comments, especially from the democratic ppaer3, are. generally fatoraole. Even the papers with radical Bryan tendencies seem inclined to welcome him back into the fold and forgive and rorget his bolt" in 1896 and 1898 because he has shown that he can manage a winning campaign.

A Revolving House. Here's an idea! Everyone knows, or at least everyone ought to know, of the health-giving properties of sunShine. How to give as many rooms of a house the benefit of it is a problem which confronts the intelligent modern builder, and one seldom solved to entire satisfaction, since it is obviously Impossible to do altogether without a northern exposure. The solution has been discovered, however, by a Parisian architect, who has built a house, the structure revolving at will on a central pinion, thus allowing every part to be exposed to the direct rays of the sun. A central stationary apparatus, above which the building revolves, allows the Introduction of water, gas, electricity, etc., and permits a pass ige for drainage pipes. The building, which is erected on the Mediterranean coast, can be turned by two men and the cost of adding this special feature does not exceed 10 per cent, of the cost of an ordinary bouse of equal size. It will probably be a good while before this revolving scheme will be generally adopted ic the building of private residences, but it seems not unlikely that it will be of practical use in constructing hospitals and homes for invalids. - It is at least an ingenious scheme for capturing sunlight. Indianapolis Journal. The U of Salt. Such humble things are useful for the toilet or in aiding health that the greater part of the world does not know of the helpful things that are close at hand. Salt, plain table salt, is an article -that is useful in many ways besides that of helping to make food savory, It is especially beneficial to bathe tired or weak eyes, and a pinch in warm water will cure the disfiguring inflammation that comes from overwork or from being in the wind. Salt in the water will also overcome the redness of the lids. A little salt should occasionally be placed in the water, with which the teeth are brushed, as it helps to harden the gums. When it is used for a gargle it will overcome sore throat if used soon enough, and it is excellent to allay any slight Irritation of the th'roat. Indiana Hens Were Busy. 1 Indiana hens laid more than 600,000,000 eggs during the year, Farmers have actually reported this number, and there Is probably a large pro? portion of the total egg production of which no account is kept. According to Mr. Johnson's reports, the Noble county hens get- the laurels for Industry. Tnrough their combined efforts 1.617,000 dozens of eggs were placed upon the maaket from that county alone. The hens of Ripley and "Washington counties comes in for a share of honors-, the two counties having each produced more than one million dozens.

Hats Olf to Germany. Germany has beaten us, tor a time at least, in rapid railroading with an electric car running at the rate of 124 4 5 miles an hour over twenty-eight miles of rails. That Is the long distance record, though as yet America must show the highest general average in piactical electric railroading. An American locomotive has run five miles at the rate of 120 miles an hour, but when the German builders reach the promised 140 miles an hour, steam locoraorives will be hopelessly distanced. It is a question if such velocity is required or will be available on surface-roads, Indianapolis Star. A Place for Charley Schwab. : . Poor Schwab! Besides being harshly judged, for buying champagne for French maidens, he is bounced as head of the steel trust and todav stands accused of wrecking the ship trust, ne has fallen from grace in the eyes of the money-bags, but if Charles M, could bust the meat trust and a few other "charitable" combines, the American people would feel impelled to buy bim a house far more elaborate than was the one presented'to Dewey. Keep on wrecking, Charley if you can. LaPorte County's Distinction. LaPorte county has one distinction that Is not an enviable one. It is one of the tea counties in Indiana having more than 100 saloons within its limits.

MORTUARY

Conrad W. Sult Conrad W. Sult, one of Marshall county prominent farmers and business men, died at his home in this city Monday afternoon, October 19, 1903. aged 63 years, 9 months and 2 days. Mr. Sult was born in Marion county, Ohio, January 17, 1840, came with his parents to Marshall county when he was nine years old. afterwards went to LaPorte county and was married in that county in 1861 to Miss Julia Plake, who was his companion for more than 42 years and is now left to mourn his death. Mr. and Mrs. Sult moved to Marshall county in Jauuary 1862 and for more than forty years, Mr. Sult was identified with the best interest of the community in which he lived. He improved a fine farm near Wolf Creek Mills and later in company with Mr. Brink erected the planing mill in this city. After a few years here he sold his interest in the mill and returned to his farm, making it one of the nicest country homes in that part of the county. He was one of the prominent members of the Methodist church and was for three years superintendent of the Wolf Creek Sunday school. Several years ago he again purchased the planing mill and sash and blind factory in Plymouth and engaged in the sale of lumber and coal, and continued in the business until his death. March 12th, 1903, he was stricken with paralysis and carried to his home. He partially recovered from this but was not able to regain the use of one side. Monday morning came the sudden and fatal attack which terminated in his death at 3:30 in the afternoon. Since his return to Plymouth he had been one of the prominent workers in the M. E. church of this city and a member of the official board. He was an honest man, a good citizen and a Christian in the true sense of that word. He leaves to mourn his death, the wife of his youth, two children, Mrs. Flora Lambert, and Mrs. Nannie Young, seven grandchildren; one brother, Levi Sult, of North township, and hundreds of friends in this city and county. Funeral services were held at the residence Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m. conducted by Rev. C. A. Brooke, and the remains were interred at Oak Hill. Gust Peterson. Gust Peterson died in South Bend, Sunday night, aged 27 years. He was a son of Rev. Andrew Peterson and wife, residing north of Donaldson. The remains were brought Plymouth Tuesday and taken to the home of his parents. Funeral services will be held at the Swede church Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m. Closes Pastoral Relations. Rev. C. E. Weiss, for five years pastor of the German Evangelical church of this city will terminate his official relations with that church this week and will deliver his final sermon next Sunday. Mr. Weiss has accepted a call from a church of the same denomination at Petoskey, Mich. In severing his connection with the church here, Mr. Weiss has only in view the prospect of a larger field of labor and greater opportunities. His relations with his church have always been cordial and pleasant and his financial support has been prompt and satisfactory. Mr. Weiss has been popular with our townspeople and has been highly regarded by the ministers of other churches. He joined with them in the union services last summer, the last one of the series being held in his church. The departure of himself and wife will be regretted by his church and the community. It is understood the church is endeavoring to get an early supply for its pulpit. nn TRADING STAMPS WITH SALES

The Missionary Convention. The Womans' Foreign Missionary Society of the South Bend distiict held its first session at the M. E. church Monday evening and was greeted by a large audience which was much interested and instructed for an hour and thirty minutes. After devotional exercises and music. Miss Ida Haines delivered an appropriate welcome address, which was responded to by the district president. Mrs. Abernethy of Rochester. The children's exercise, Mother Goose and her Family as Missionary Workers, under the management of Mrs. Brown and Miss Haines elicited general applause. The little girls and boys all did well, and the lessons they gave as to how they would help the missionary cause were amusing, but were calculated to make older people think. Miss Grace Todd ave an excellent talk to young people detailing some of her experience as a missionary in China. The closing music by Miss Lura Wilson was very fine. The convention met again at J o'clock Tuesday with a good attendance. The minutes of last year's annual meeting were read and other routine business transacted. The auxiliary gleanings for the year were given. There were papers and discussions of much interest, on the subject of missions. There was a memorial seryice Tuesday afternoon, a question box, and many good short speeches interspersed with good music. The principal feature of the meeting Tuesday eveuihg was an address by Miss Grace Todd. The closing session was held Wednesday forenoon. Everybody's liable to itching piles.

There is no intelligent, patriotic citizen in the country who does not know the president was wholly right in respect of the Miler incident, and that he could have acted otherwise only In disregard of his sworn declaration as president to uphold the law. If he offended any by so doing, they were only such as would condemn any loyalty to plain duty. It is not probable that among intelligent, fairminded American workmen there are many who will condemn the president for fidelity to his official trust, especially at a time when such fidelity in others is rarer than it should be.

. . ti rv. t :ÄC ' JL The Program of Congress. As a general thing, men in congress hesitate to take up much new work with a presidential campaign impending. They are probably right, from the political point tif view, in thinking it safer to stand still than to move in. any direction. It is easier to explain having done nothing than It is to explain having done an unpopular thing. So what the majority in congress will be chiefly concerned with is how the republican party may arrange to carry a sufficient number of states to retain, control of the government. The democrats will devote themselves chiefly toputting the republicans "in a hole."" And 'between them it does hot seem likely that much will be done. Fortunately, this will not of necessitybe a bad thing for the country,, and we shall, have a maximum of politics and a minimum of business. The session, may, therefore, be interesting, but it will not be important. There will be much jockeying for position, avast deal of eloquence, a strenuous attempt to make it appear that much is being done when nothing is being done, and a careful avoidance of making anything that looks like a positive rccord.IndianapolisNews.
