Steamers with perishable cargoes to tne yalue of $2,000,000 are now in danger of being crushed by the ice in the Yukou, and a considerable hole may be knocked in tne profits of the Alaskan season. The Santa Fe Railroad has let the first ontract toward building a 250mile cut off, which is expected to bring the Pacific coast twelve hours nearer Chicago and save the company $400,000 a year in operating expenses. Rumor has it that David B. Hill bad a conference with Colonel Bryan, Charles A. Towne, and Senator Teller in the city of New York a few days since. "What occurred, or what was done and said, is left to Conjecture. The Elkhart Truth says Walter Brown hints that he will have no band wagon after the chairmanship contest is settled in his favor and those who want to get in mustclimbln now. It is the opinion of the Tribune that he has no band wagon now. . Resolutions reported to Ihe American Public . Health Association at Washington strongly urge the restoration of the army canteen, declaring that its abolition has been detrimental to the health aod morals of the troops without advancing temperance. Three more persons one of them a woman have been indicted for complicity In the Oregon land frauds. Graft is getting so many -jars in so many different parts of the country that there should be at least a tendency among the grafters to be more cautious and less grasping. The Prussian war department finds that In every 1,000 young men arriying at the age of military duty, seventeen are suffering from heart disease. Strickler, who has been studying the subject, declares that the cause of the great prevalence is the increasing degeneracy and nervousness of the youth of the land. In his Incisive speech at the close of the meeting of the Civic Federation, at Chicago, Mr. James H. Eckels made this emphatic declaration: The highest duty of organized labor and of organized capital is to observe and support the law The law guarantees to the individual the right to use and sell his property as he sees fit, provided he keeps within the law. When organized capital or organized labor seeks to deny to the individual tbatrignt it violates the law." Reports from over half of the ninetytwo counties in Indiana '"show that Hoosier farmers are beginning the harvest of one of their bumper corn crops. There is hardly a county in the list that does not report an unusually heavy crop, with the products in prime condition, and the whole output from this state will go a long way toward enriching the farmhouse treasuries. Much of this com wealth will Have an immediate effect on general business interests, as it will be taken to the market- as soon as the farmers gather it. . Nearly every day seems to disclose more riches in southwestern Indiana The latest evidence of this oil field that is now being developed in the Princeton district. Five wells have been drilled up to date without a dry bole, and there are indications that tha field will rival the productiveness ot those in northern Indiana. Kot only is" there quantity, but quality goes with it, as th2 oil is a rich, dark fluid that caa be used as a lubricant without refining. More oil met and more capital are arriving in the district daily, and the activity promises to become continually greater. Southwestern Indiana is singularly blessed in the way of mineral resources as well as agricultural and horticultural possibilities, and there seems little doubt that the near future will see it become one of the richest and most active parts of the Mississippi valley. - Taking the careers of United States senators, as known to the world, and partly told in their brief biographical sketches in the congressional directory, it appears to be true that the education of experience counts far more toward success than the preliminary training. If a man has the faculty of politics, the gift of practical application, the early training of a university adds to his strength and breadth. But In too many cases the college man seems to rely too much upon a superior "education," when, ia fact, he is not educated at all. so far the business before hira is concerned. In Ehort, a university education and an education fittln j a man. to cepo rcith the beet bralzs cf the czmte ere d..erezt thicks.

Some late developments wou'.d seem to indicate that high finance and low morality are rather congenial companions.

P. C. Gorman, brother ot the United States senator from Maryland, has been dropped from the rolls of the Treasury Department "for the good of the service." Senator Morgan of Alabama is reported to be busy looking up data for his argument in favor of aNicaragüan canal. If he succeeds in finding any more we "will know that there still are new things under the sun. The Russian engineers who built the Manch irian end of the Transslbcrian Railroad are accused of defalcations amounting to several millions. The Russians are rapidly taking their place among the civilized nations. Mrs. Booth-Tucker was said to be the ablest of all the Booth children. She bad that rare quality of perfect sympathy. She was well educated, had no class prejudices, and was just as much at home in the parlors or a house in Fifth avenue as In the one and only room of a squalid family. She was a great force in public meet ings. When a criminal is undone he turns upon the newspapeis. Parks, the walking delegate convicted of black mail, has now taken to abusing re porters. But for them he would yet be enjoying continued income from blackmail, and it is to the reporters thatth3 public owes its gratitude. Parks may rail, but it will do no good. Elkhart Reyiew. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert's continued illness at Battle Creek, Mich., is giving his friends much concern. He was about to make his formal announcement as a candidate for govern or when be was stricken with an acute attack of rheumatism, render ing him so helpless that he is unable to use his hands. The latest advices from the sanitarium do not give much promise of his early recovery. Any republican of Elkhart county wishing to be a candidate for legisla tive office could not do better than announce as his platform the re-elec Ubn of Senator Beveridge, that brll liant young statesman who has made such rapid strides in public estlma tion and in making a prominent place for himself in the United States senate, and who with Senator Fair banks from the strongest senatorial team that ever represented Indiana. Goshen Times. The feeling of Gen. William Booth, of the Salvation Army,- at the death of his daughter will be widely shared: I am suddenly prostrated with grief in the presence of what appears at the moment to be an indescribable calara ity and au unfathomable mystery. I cn only look up and say to my heav enly Father, "Thy will be done." She was indeed, as he says, a noble and consecrated woman, but he loss is not as he feels irreparable. The world gbeson, and it goes on to better things. She is cut off from her work, but what she has done lives after her and others will come to carry forward all that she might have borne. It is so with the lives of good mn and women in whatever sphere of i fort. The inspiration of their example has already raised up witnesses, so that when they are called to leave, at what ever time, the field of their, labor is better prepared than ever it was and their work remains as a help and heritage. Smallpox Symptoms. Genuine smallpox commences with a high fever which very much resmbles bilious or remittent fever, and after the first day there is usually a severe and unceasing pain in the center of the back. This is one of the surest indications of the disease until the eruptions be gin to appear the second or third day at the roots of the hair. They are hard pointed pimples at first and can be readily felt with the hand. The disease is very contagious, but is not carried in the air. The virue clings to everything its touches and is carried in the clothing of attendants and of those who come in cor tact with It, and also in the fur of cats and dogs that are with those who have the disease. -May Be Reynold's Murderers. The hank robbers, Flaherty and Den j is, arrested atlshpeming, Mich., after a fight with a sheriff's posse, and' indentitied by Chicago police officers, are the same men who made a sensational escape from jail at Joncsboro, 111., last autumn while under investigation for complicity in the murder of young Wesley Reynolds at Westville. They are known to haye been engaged in many bank and store burglaries throughout the middle west and held at Jonesboro for a robbery committed at Cobden but while the detectives working on the Westville case were hopeful of fixing that murder upon them the two men, one of whom was wounded, struck down a guard, broke throujhan iron door and got array. Roth were wounded in their ht at Ishpemicj:

For the Rural Carrier. The effort to obtain an increase in

the compensation of the rural free delivery, carriers at the coming regular session of congress has the support of a strong public sentiment. On the present basis the rural carrier performs a service for which he is not fully re munerated. He is one of the few employes in the government service who positively is underpaid, and the time is ripe for action by congres in his behalf. - The rural free delivery system has passed Its experimental stage and has become a thoroughly established in stitution. The pay of $50 a month for carriers may have been sufficient when the system was put on trial, but the growth of tne business of the Postoffice Department outside the ur ban districts has shown the need of a readjustment. The work required ol the carrier has increased many fold since the first years of the operation of the service, without any increase in the compenratloo allowed bylaw, the result being that it is difficult to get competent persons to serve on many of the routes. This condition brings the question directly to the attention of the people who are benefited by the rural free delivery system for efficiency of ser vice becomes a subject of as much im portance to the public as the matter of adequate renuneration is to the carrier personally. Year in and year out the life of a carrier on a rural free delivery route Is as exacting as that of a soldier more exacting, it might be said, than the life of the regular soldier in time of peace. Sleet, snow, rain and wind serve as no barrier to the regular de livery of Uuncle Sam's mail through out the country districts. The people along the routes expect letters and . their daily newspapers when winter storms prevail the same as at any other time, And rarely are they disappointed, for the rural car rier as a rule has been a faithful" ser vant in spite of poor pay. There have been many instances when acts of real heroism have beea performed, and some day the carrier will find a place in the romantic literature of the country. An important item of consideration is that the small amount paid is not for the carrier alone The regulations require that be shall have a horse. The horse is not furnished by the gov ernment, and the cost of feeding and keeping t je animal must come out of the sum paid as salary. Indianapolis Star. Items Here and Elsewhere. The United States will sell about $10,000,000 worth of fruits to Europe this year, The capital of the railroads is more than twelve times as great as that of all the banks. There is nearly four times as much gold in the United States Treasury as there is in the Bank of England. Consumption was unknown to the Americans until it was Introduced by slave -traders and colonists, but it is now more frequent and deadly than in America.

The West Is All Riht - The Washington correspondents

who have recently returned from "the irrigation trip" through the West bring back glowing accounts of the prosperous conditions which prevail in that section.-They state that, after making all "due allowance for the "booming" tendencies of the Western people, one may feel sure that the paesent outlook is remarkably bright and ti.at the recent depression in the stock market has not reflected real conditions in the heart of the republic. "It is doubtful if the people of the East," said one of the party, Mhave any conception of what is going on west of the Mississippi. In a fiveweeks' journey through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado. Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Indian Territory, I heard not one dissenting voice from from the universal acclaim of pros perity. I talked witn. men' in all walks of life, from the farmhand to the bank president. Traveling men said they could not get goods to their customers fast enough. Farmers said that crops were bountiful and prices all that could be wished. Railroad men said their only trouble was to handle the immense volume of traffic. Manufacturers said their only difficulty was in getting the additions to their plants completed so they could catch up with their orders. The warehousemen had no more room in their elevators; the bankers had vaults filled with deposits and a ready demand for money; contractors and builders had work in sight for a year ahead; even the cattle in the Melds and the horses in the streets looked sleek. The mortgage on the farm has been paid off and the farmer has money to loan. Industrials are making mouey and railroads are paying dividends. The earth has been prolific; buying, selling, carrying, developing,.all aw going forward with a hum of industry that can almost be heard. Confidence is strong and faith in the future is firm. The Boy In Science. A Denver dispatch notes the discovery of a large and Important group of sun spots by a fifteen-year-old boy of that city, son of a local astronomer. It is added that the boy made his observations with a six-inch telescope in the observatory iu the city park. The Incident shows what important results and achleyeraents may be lost to the world by unduly restraining the activities of restless and ambitious boys. It must be that the Creator, or nature, if you please, implanted these qualities for a good purpose, and aside from the question of the moral propriety of repressing them, there is the question of what the human race may be deprived of by that course. Everybody knows the capacity of the average boy for accomplishing things by luck. In the matter of angling, for Instance, a barefooted boy, with only one suspender to his trousers and equipped with a hickory pole and a home-made line, will often catch a fine string of fish in a few hours, where a city sportsman with a complete and expensive outfit will toil all day and catch nothing. One may call this luck, but does it not show a certain . Kinship between boys and the natural world? One of the most valuable gold mines in Colorado was discovered by some boys who were playing "mumble-the-pei?," and the larg est cave in Indiana was discovered by a lad who chased a rabbit into a hole that led to the cave. Indianapolis Journal. Must Pay the Fiddler. Joseph Armey, of Kosciusko county, was the leading spirit in the campaign that resulted in the dredging of Yellow river several years ago. He circulated the original petition for the improvement, and championed the case from the commissioners' court to the state supreme court, and back again. In the course of this litigation be claims to have paid out nearly $1000 attorneys fees, and he has brought suit against those who signed the petition with him to recover their proportionate amount of this expense. There are about fifty of these petitioners In this locality, and while the amounts asked of some of them are insignificant, they have unanimously resolved tö resist his demands. They have retained Deahl & Deahl, of Goshen, N. J. Hayes, of this place, and Samuel Parker, of Plymouth, The plaintiff has employed an equally imposing array of legal talent, and the case will be fought for all there is in it. The main point involved whether the petitioners for a ditch, a highway or other public improvement are equally liable for the attorneys' feeshas never been passed upon the higher courts, so the outcome of the suit will be awaited with interest. The case has been venued to Elkhart county. Bremen Enquirer. Profitable Oil Wells. About 1000 wells have been put down in Jasper county, each producing an average of four barrels per day. One of the wells flows ten barrels per day, but the rest are pumped. The lubricating oil is put through the refinery and the residue mads into asphaltum. One company has a contract to furnis'a a city firm with 300 barrete of oil per day. Laid in that vicinity b03 greatly appreciated in value, farms that sold at Z5 to C20 per acre now betes, worth fron C75 to Cv 0 per cere

It Is "Up To" Japan. If the Japanese statesmen are as astute as they are endeavoring to make up their minds whether to fight right now or Jet Russia have her way in Manchuria and Korea, which would mean the confinement of Japanese activity to the islands, leaving the whole of the mainland to be' absorbed in time by Russia. In the nature of the case there must be war or peace on these terms. Japan is squarely up against the situation her statesmen doubtless foresaw when, at the close of her successful war with China, Russia stepped in and vetoed the Japanese intentions of establishing themselves in force in what had been Chinese territory. From that very day Japan has been preparing for the present emergency by straining every nerve to build up a strong navy and a well-

drilled and well-equipped array, and by seeking the sympathy and alliance of such European nations as might be Interested in preserving the existing status of affairs in the Chinese sea. Russia has been no less actively and surely preparing for it by building the great railroad across Asia and increasing her navy as rapidly as possible, by building fortifications in territory that did not belong to her and by organizing the civil and military administration of what is properly a Chinese province. Even now, while her diplomats are seeking to delay at Tokio and her ministers are assuring the world that there will be no war, she is putting the finishing touches to these preparations by rushing more trainloads of troops and ammunition across Asia and hurrying more battleships and cruisers to Chinese waters. And when she is ready, Japan can take her choice between fighting or getting clear out of the way for good and ail. If Japan intends to fight, every hour the struggle is put off is to her disadvantage. If she Intends to retire without a struggle, she can do so with as much grace right now as later. Indianapolis Journal. All Saints' Day. It is strange how many there are that never fail to observe Hallowe'en In their own peculiar way, who yet lose sight of the great festival which will be observed all over the world, says the Indianapolis News. The day is full of tender associations. It enforces the doctrine of immortality In a peculiarly affectiog and moving way, for it brings to mind the thought of the "communion of saints," and bids men remember that the dead and the living are bound together by the closest ties. Moreover, All Saints' Day teaches important lessons on the subject of saintllness. After the church has celebrated festivals in honor of the great saints of old, it sums it all up by appointing a day in remembrance of all those who have kept and died in the faith. As we note in the soldiers' cemeteries the grave-stones marked "unknown," so on this day our thoughts are with the humble souls, whom the world never looked on as saints, but who, nevertheless rougbt an honest and manly fight, and "now rest from their labors." A Great Sporting News Journal The Illustrated special sporting section of The Sunday Record Herald thoroughly deserves the attention of every one interested In sporting news. It is always beautifully illustrated and embraces four full pages, covering with the thoroughness that satisfies to the utmost the whole realm of sports. Baseoall news, racing news, bowling news, cycling news, pugilistic news, golf news, yachting news all the sporting news is given with the greatest degree of fullness and interest. The sporting page of the dally Issues is also exceptionally popular a self-evident fact to those who have noted the general vogue of The Chicago Record Herald among sporting men.

Had You Thought ol It? It you were offered $1000 a year for your services, and were asked to deposit $40 as a guarantee that your duties would be promptly and satisfactorily performed would you accept? of course you would. $40 is the small amount of money required to take a six month's course in the Huntington Business University at Huntington, Ind., so as to prepare for such a position, and $1000 per year is the salary that the United States government is offering for stenographers. Business firms in large cities are just as much in need of office help as is the government, yet there are thousands of people who have never thought of how easily they can make themselves capable of earning a large salary. The person who is lazy or skeptical will not give this information a second thought, while the person who has higher aim in life than to merely eat and sleep will in: vestigate this opportunity, and he will not wait about it, either. Young people in 'this locality are wide awake enough to know a good thing like this and we hope to hear of their giving this matter immediate consideration. O.
