Plymouth, Ind., October 29. 1903. EDITOR S. E. MORSS. The Indianapolis Journal the state organ of tbe republican party, says of Samuel E. Morss: that while the democratic party was at the high tide of its success in Indiana he guided the fortunes of its chief newspaper, and the large Influence thus given him was used as far as might be in the direction of purer politics and better government. Turning to his personal side. Mr. Morss was one of the most lovable men in Indianapolis. Cordial of manner and kindly of heart, he was well beloved by his employes and associates In his newspaper, as well as by a very large circle of personal friends. Thoroughly well informed, a forceful and interesting talker, aud withal a philosopher and troMi-humored observer of men, his society was much sought. His ideals were not all political by any means, and in the general field of public-spirited, good citizenship he was very active and very helpful, and no worthy public movement failed to receive from him valuable support.
Peace has been agreed to by the waning factions of. the. New York democracy, but it may be an armed peace.
One thousand people are now killed e.ch year in the streets of New York, and these do not include the political dead who get squeezed by the machines.
A Frenchman wno has written a
bock on American politics says teu per
cent of the voters of the United States
fceli their votes. He must have studied politics only in New York and Chicago. Lucius Teter, cashier of the Chicago Sayings Cank, gave good advice to the banker? cwnveued at SanFrancisco. He told them to advertise. He showed further that he was fully conversant with the subject when he added that only newspapers of large circulation amnig the masses should be used for bank ad vert i?ing.
Partial Investigation of alleged land frauds in the northwest is said to show that at least five United Slates senators are connected with the scandal.
THE SMALLPOX SITUATION
Interior Department estimates for the next fiscal year are found. to be $3,000,000 less than the appropriation due to a railing off in pensioners and
termination oflndian treaties.
Government officials admit they
have evidence of a gigantic scheme to
grab 60,175,165 acres of western public lands, involving a, transaction of $20,000,000 and the names of, several
prominent men.
Postmaster-General Payne declines
to say whether theie will be any more
removals in the postofflce department,
but most people believe the number
will be considerably increased within the next ten days. .
The battleship Missouri bids fair to leave the armored cruiser behind In
the matter of speed. The battle of
Santiago demonstrated the fact that
speed is one of the most valuable
qualities in offensive as well as In defensive naval warfare.
It may fairly, be claimed that med
ical science is making headway against
some of the most formidable diseases
of former days such as yellow fever,
smallpox and cholera. Of 28 cases
ot smallpox in Connecticut last year only one ended fatally.
The Interior Department
covered some new and
land swindles on the Pacific
has " dis-
very ingenious
slope.
Volumes might be written about the various swiiidks that have been attempted in relation to public lands since the government was organized, and it seems too bad that tbe amount i f brain power that has been spent in figuring these schemes out could not have been put into honest productive nd astry. Indianapolis Journal.
The Wakarusa Tribune expiesses its opinion as to tbe district chairmanship contest as-follows: There Js a hot contest on for the republican chairmanship of the thirteentn district. A man is needed that will not sacnßce principle or good government to party ends. A -patriotic man' is wanted with the love of his country
Mbeart. A ,,bos" is hardly tobe desired especially one who has stirred up strife and has used the office to aid his friends and punish his enemies.
The death of Samuel E. Morss, owner and editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, came as a shock to the city of Indianapolis and in fact to almost tbe entire state. -He was one of the lest newspaper men in the United States, possessed an excellent educatioa, and for more than thirty years his career as a journalist and politician had been a brilliant one. For twenty years he had been one of the chief advisers in conferences and conventions of the democratic party in Indiana.
Id general the New York papers assure Dowie that he will not secure converts because New Yorkers are too worldly wise, and that he will not secure investors because New Yorkers have Wall street, which is quite sufficient for all their wants. Senator M. A. Hanna, speaking betöre the National Civic Federation a few days ago said the industrial success of this country depended more on the peaceable adjustment of labor disputes than it did on the election of a president of the United States.
The Elkhart Review says Walter Brown will be re-elected district chairman. The Review gives the statement of . the Indianapolis Journal which we published last'week as the basis of its opinion. It thinks" Boss will be able to turn over to Brown
enough votes to elect him.
Although
is being
the assertion
made continually that the use of automobiles is driving tha horse out of business, reports from 325citiesin the Uuited States show that the statement is far from true. Each city gives figures which prove that the use of horses is increasing rapidly and there is a greater demand than ever for them. This is the report made at tbe recent national convention of master norse shoers, '
The Postofflce department may not be always successful in getting convictions in the courts, but It can dismiss from the service "grafters" and those that connive at or neglect irregularities, and the work of cleaning out tbe department is going on right merrily. It would not be very surprising to see a new order of things some day that would require department clerks and officials to put in a reasonable day's work each day.

The British postal servlc-i pays a big revenue because it is so well conducted. No people on earth use the mails
so much as Englishmen. Last year

The most extensive straw vote attempted for the presidential" election of next year is that of the Chicago Farm and Home," with a great agricultural clientage,. wh!ch has been taking a vote among Lts subscribers to ascertain their preferencefor president, and tbe result was something

James Epperson, state mine Inspector, who has recently returned from a trip through the mining districts of southern Indiana, predicts that there will be a shortage of cars this winter with which to transport coal from mines. There was a shortage of cars last winter, but tbe inspector thinks It will be worse this year. "Another trbublV'said be, "Is that, the railroads cannot always handle the cars after they are loaded.

A case, repotted by the attending physician and bis counsel, as smallpox has appeared at the Vandalia House in this city, which is duly quarantined and protected from the public.' A similar case occurs in the family of Mr.. Harris, rosidi eg on the
bank of the river in South Johnstown
Another case exactly the same, is in
the family, of Jerry Ilimes, who is
brother of Mrs. Harris, the mother of of the case above referred to, who lives
in South Plymouth, just across the
street from tne cemetery. Two or
three weeks ago, the mother of the
two children of Jerry Hirnes now af
flicted had the same disease, as I learn
from her own words, hence her chil
dren, and the Harris cbild, all evi
dently took it, as tbe families, being
relatives intermingle freely.
Mrs. Jerry Himessays, she took her disease from her grandmother, Mrs. Cannam, who died about four or five weeks ago, when the fever was at its
highest, at the home of Mrs. Bowles,
her daughter, ana also the mother of
Mrs. II:mes. I visited Mrs. Bowles, who verified her daughter's words,
only she said, the attending physi
cian of her mother, Mrs. Cannam had
stated her case to be a chronic eczema. The other children of 'Mrs. Bowles,
besides Mrs, Himes, jave not taken
tbe disease, evidently because they
were all recently vaccinated tor small
pox, but Mrs. Ilimes was not vaccinat
ed, i because she being timid refused it. These cases are all quarantined, and contagion is being prevented from
them as far as possible, under the re
quirements oi tne taw xnis is a plain statement of tbe facts, concerning these cases upon which tbe pub
lic are now interested, after thorough
examination and investigation being
made.' They are listed as smallpox.
under the instructions or the State
Board of Health and required to, be
treated as such by the subordinate
Boards of Health in counties and towns. Some physicians of good authority may diagnose them as something else; but it matters but little to health officers what any disease is denominat
ed It is enough for them to know
that it is contagious and a menace to
the public health. Tbe above diseases
referred to. are unmistakably conta
gious, and although the most of them
may be light and only slightly fatal,
yet they are loathesome and very dis
agreeable for the body is covered with
maturating pocks from head to feet,
and nobody wants to be afflicted with
them. If these cases are not thor
oughly looked after now at the ."ap
proach of the winter season, we will
have a serious time In the cold weather where such diseases, after having' obtained a (ootbold are almost uncon-
trolable. I earnestly enjoin all people
in this city through their attending physician or by some responsibla mem ber of the household, if no physician is In attendance, to Immediately report every case of any sort of eruption that has been attended in its initial stages with a fever with any suspicion of contagion about it, to the locaihealth officers of the citv, either Dr. Brown, Dr. Stephens or Mr. Lucius Tanner, who I am sure will promptly attend to their duties. . . . The above statement of facts nted be no cause of alarm to the public, when the ihealth officers are fully awakened to a sense of their responsibility and are attending to their duties promptly the public are safe. It is only when they are negligent, and the matter is kept bidden, that the public is In danger. " , r J.S. MartÜV Sec. County Board of Health. - Athletics in General.
Rev. Mackintosh. a Presbyterian
minister, savs tbe reason that most of
our prominent meiwere country boys is because tbe lad who lives on the farm is more fully developed in every direction, ne gets plenty of exercise and this is largely the reason why he can concentrate his mind upon a subject when the time eomes. He also compares the followers of Monasticfsm to the Greeks who have left more to posterity than any otbef race. Mr. Mackintosh emphasizes that to be an athletic man was -not merely to be a member of some athletic team but to indulge in all manly exercises." Pure air, water, food-and moderate exercises are, he claims, the four requisites for a healthy person, both in mind and body, He emphasizes the importance of deep breathing. Bryan, one of the greatest political speakers in the country, be says, can make four or five speeches daily for weeks at a stretch ana his voice and nervous system never fall him because he breatnes plenty of pure air. While Mr. Bryan is on a platform waiting until the in
troductory speech has been" made he
usually spends his time in taking deep
breaths, which invigorate his 'whole
system. .

MARRIED
Carl---Woodbury.
Promptly at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, October 21, 1903, Mrs. Frank Humrichouser started to play Mendelssohn's wedding march, and the guests assembled at the home of
Mrs. M. F. Woodbury, two miles
north of this city, saw her daughter. Miss Ellen Gertrude, accompanied by
her brother John, stepping to a
beautiful bower that was arranged at
one end of the room. There she was
met by the groom, Mr. Fred L. Carl, and Rev. W. S. Howard using the ring
service of the Episcopal church, made
the happy pair one, after which they received the congratulations of their
friends.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
with palms, smilax and cosmos. The
presents, consisting of silverware,
dishes, table linen, furniture, books,
pictures and many other articles,
showed the good judgment of the
donors, as all were useful and valuable.
After the ceremony the guests to the number of about ninety, repaired to
the dining hall where a sumptuous
wedding supper was served. The bride's dress was white organ-
die with embroidery, and was indeed handsome. The groom appeared in
the usual black. Miss Woodbury was
one of the popular teachers in the Culver schools, and the groom is the machinest in charge of the pumping
and tool stations of the Vandalia rail-
road between Terre Haute and South
Bend, with headquarters at Logansport.
Amid showers of rice, and with the
best wishes of their friends, the happy
couple left on the evening train for
their home in Logansport, where after Nov. 10, they will be "at home"
to their friends at No. 1212 Linden Ave.

Tom Taggart Ever a Wag.
Our old friend, Thomas Taggart is
reported as thinking that Tammany
ought to win in New York because of
the effect that a democratic victory would have on the national campaign next year. If Mr. Taggart's view had prevailed among the republicans
of Indianapolis Mr. Taggart would
not now be engaged in the pleasant
work of 'helping to distribute the
loaves and fishes and assisting to se
cure the appointment of men who
just have to be appointed." But
our friend was ever a wag, and so we conclnde that he reallv does not think
-no matter what he may say that
the welfare of the people of New York will be promoted by turning the city
over once. more, to the Taminünv
thieves and scoundrels. The New
York Evening Post is now printing a
series of letters written by Tammany
men to one another, which clearly
demonstrate if anv demonstration
were needed that graft and corruption flourished under the Tammany
administration as they never flourished anywhere else at any other time. If
the city had back the millions of dol
lars stolen by the Tammany gang it
could come pretty'near getting along
without levying any taxes at all In

New Engines Will Be Rapid. If engine 613 were on train No. 4,
just leavlug Peru and mv train was at
Muncie Junction, I would pull into
tbe siding, because a rear end collision would occur before I reached the coal
docks." This is the way a Wabash
freight conductor expressed his ideas to the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette of
the speed of the new Atlantic engines which have just been turned Into tbe
service. He said further that the new
engines do not run on the rails, but fly along the right-of way It is true
that the new engines have speed, be
cause engine No. 613 came from New
Haven to Fort Wayne with 400 tons
of freight m five minutes, when passenger train No. 3 rarely covers the
distance in less than ten. Tbe officials
of the jCompany, are - placing.a great

be realized. "

Mrs. Kate Devinney. Mrs. Kate Devinney, who had been an inmate of the county infirmary for twenty years, died Wednesday evening October 21, aged 72 years. Her maiden name was Bailey, she was born in the state of New York, but came here sixty years ago. Hers has been a checkered career, with very little sunshine although she had better care during the past ten years than it would have been possible for her to have in a private family. Funeral services were held at the infirmary at 2:00 p. m. Friday and the remains interred at Oak Hill.

Man Wanted to Be Hanged. At Indianapolis this week, a well-
dressed man, about 30 years of age, approached Bailiff Mendenhall and
asked to speak with the judge. Tjik"'
ing Judge Alford to a remote-romer J
of the room he asked : Judge do they give, private hangings, at Michigan
G'.ty?'!: Judge Alford asked .him what
he meant by private hangings. N The
man answered that he wanted to know
whether , a man who wanted to be
hanged, .could not go up there without waiting tor a trial; that'if he could do
so he would like to go up and be banjf-i
ed. The judge saw at once that - he
was dealing with a crazy man and told
him that it was necessary for him to
stand trial and be convicted before he
couldjecelve capital punishmeut. The
man, with a dejected look, turned and
left the court room.
