Kill might have known that something would happen at home while he wa knocking around with czars and kings. Indianapolis News. There are Indications that the Soathem democrats In congress are not in sympathy with Senator Gordian 's attack on the administration's Panama policy. They are exceedingly anxious for the canal because, aside from the general considerations, they believe it will be very beneficial to the south. The president of the Indiana Jefferson League writes a letter in which he says that the Democratic masses are demanding that the Democratic national platform of 1904 does not repudiate a single plauk which is contained in the platform of 1896 and 1900." It would certainly be superflous for any convention to repudiate the greater part of that platform. A paper published at Valley, Mills Texas has an editor who has been studying the people and conditions in that section of the solid south and he rises to remark that "lots of democrats believe in a protective tariff and some men who vote a democratic ticket believe in sound money and protection also. These men are republicans but like the Irishman's turtle, haven't sense enungh to know it." The bigger crime against property a man commits the surer bis parole, if the recent records are taken as proof. Dunlap, the Chicago man who planned to rob bans of our millions, has been paroled by the parole board jl Illinois. Andrews, of Detroit, who robbed a bank of $1,600,000, was lately paroled by Governor Bliss. 6uch acts of leniency are not conducive to respect for law and for its punishments. Elkhart Review. State" Chairman Goodrich has issued a call for the reorganization of the republican state central committee. If this is done on the basis of fairness to all and under efficient and representative leadership, the party will be in good condition for the great struggle of next year. As the democrats are fast "getting together" in this state, the outlook for an, Interesting fight is most encouraging. With good candidates on both sides, as we trust we shall have, and an honest and intelligent discussion of vital issues, the people will be prepared to enjoy the campaign without serious appehension of ill consequences f rom the victory of either party. Indianapolis News. According to a report made by BrLjader General Burton, who has just completed a tour of inspection of the various branches of the national soldiers' home, it was shown that during the past year 33,157 old soldiers have been cared for. The annual per capita expense of this maintenance was 3141.70, which is an increase of 20 per cent, daring the past three years, ascribed to the general advance in the cost of food products. Of the inmates. 25,169 are drawing pensions of from $6 to $72 per month, tggregraoing a total of $3,174,734. Eleven members have cash balances of more than $1,000 each to their' credit.

KILLED AT DONALDSON Buggy Demolished By Fast Train and Miss Grace Myers Killed. Christmas Eve, Henry Myers, aged 18, with his sister aged 16, and Miss Maude Covert aged 18, left their home three fourths of a mi!e south of Donaldson to attend the Christmas entertainment at Donaldson. They were in a buggy drawn by two horses and driving merrily along reached the railroad crossing at Donaldson just before seven o'clock and did not see the fast train from the east which was behind time and running a mile-a-miuute, until the horses were on the track. Miss Covert realized the danger jumped from the buggy and escaped unhurt. The horses crossed the track, but the pilot struck the buggy completely demolishing it. Miss Myers was thrown about 60 feet, one limb was broken, her body badly bruised and her skull fractured. She lived an hour and twenty minutes but was unconscious and not able to speak. Her brother was thrown about fifty feet and was badly hurt but no bones are broken and he will recover. It is said that the train did not whistle as it approached the crossing. Miss Myers is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Myers who moved from Argos to a farm near Donaldson last March. She was a bright amiable girl and her parents have the sympathy of everybody in this hour of greatest sorrow. Funeral services were conducted at Donaldson Sunday at 10:00 a. m., and the remains were taken to Argos for interment. Work Will Save the World. There have been many in these later days who. like Kipling, have written of a heaven where we shall labor "each ror the joy of the working," but few of us seem toxealize that that heaven is witi us, even now. There is no greater happiness in life than unselfishness, and no unselfish'iess is so great, so satisfying, so complete as the unselfish putting of the best of our mind, our heart, our love, our soul into the work we have to do, And the great reward is not in money, or position; In fame or baubles; in titles or ribbonsthe reward is in ourselves. ."We find the reward in proportion as we lose ourselves In our work. From the very beginning when God created the world for the use of man, to the time when He gave his only Son to be the Great Worker for the goodness and happiness of mankind, has this been true it shall be true unto the end, for by Work alone can the world ever win salvation.

MARRIED

Shridcr--UIrich. A very beautiful ceremony was witnessed Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ulrich, of West South St. Their daughter Miss Amelia K. was joined in wedlock to Mr. Ernest H. Shrider. The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was used. The bridal party marched to their place under an arch of green tastefully arranged, while Miss Louise Wolford played very skillfully on the piano, the highly appropriate Mendelssohn March. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Ray G. Upson. The bride was gowned in crepe de chine, trimmed in chiffon, and carried white roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Pearl Holem was dressed in blue silk muslin trimmed in white applique, and carried pink roses. The groom wore the conventional black. After the ceremony, the guests sat down to a table laden with the choicest viands. The presents were many and valuable. The young couple went to Chicago to spend a few days with Mr. Shrider's sister. The many friends of these very popular young people wish them the greatest happiness in their new venture. True Situation in Panama. The situation in Panama is precisely this in a nutshell. The government of Colombia wa notified several months ago by representatives In its congress from Panama that if the canal treaty was not passed the people of Panama would revolt. The treaty was not passed, was rejected, in truth by Colombia and the promised revolt followed. In speaking of this matter President Schurman of Cornell university, who is an experienced diplomat, says that our government would have been blindly negligent of its duties did it not it once recognize this new republic of Panama, which was organized as much to protect our interests as those of the people of the isthmus. It is right, too,, that our government should stand between the republic of Panama and the republic of Colombia and demand absolute peace. There will be no conflict over the affair, South Bend Tribune. Elkhart failure Grows Worse. The first statement of figures that shows the existing financial condition of affairs of the Indiana National Bar k, of Elkhart, -and which are considered as semi-official, were made public for the first time Wednesday.

Further figures show that Walter Brown and President Brodrick arc indebted to the bank in the sum of over $400.000, The liabilities of the concern will reach $620,000 deposits, while the assets will not exceed $162,000, showing that the creditors will not receive much more than 25 cants on the dollar. - " A New Fur Region.

BIBLE AND THE BALLROOM.

Elkhart Minister Takes Dancing for a Topic in His Pulpit. The Rev. W. W. Denham, of the First Christian church Elkhart, who who said that if he could not give sufficient reason why he and others should not dance, he would accept the first invitation that came to him, preached Sunday night on "The Bible and fhe Bali Room, or Why I Do Not Dance." "We hold," he said, "that if anyone has a right to engage in this form of amusement, the preachers of the gospel have an equal right. If there be those who have not the faculty of discernment between the influence and value of tbe Bible on the one hand, and the counter influence and detriment of the ball room on the other, then go your way. Dance if you will, for God will make allowance for you anyway. "We are not surprised that the modern waltz has beeu tabooed. The positions assumed therein are immodest and conducive to criminality. Why don't ihe men dance by themselves? We have always regarded it as a nuisance to gallop a mile or two to Ret a hug or two. If the men should dress as indelicately as do the women, the women would throw up their hands In horror. Is it any wonder that spiritual havoc is wrought In the bull room? Does the danciug Sunday school teacher convert her class to Christ? We do not say that every person, or even a majority, of those w'so dance are vicious or degraded, but the ball room is inimicable to the highest attainment intellectually, morally and spiritually.' 'Why don't men dance by themselves and women by themselves like they did in Old Testament times? Ah, come, now, boys, would you enjoy it? ' "But the heads of New York society, it is announced, have invented the 'sitting out waltz,' wherein the position is the same, only you sit, instead of dance, during the rendition of the music. "The Sitting out' embodies the same position as dancing-, the only difference is you sit instead of dance. The man's right arm is about the ady 's waist, while his left holds her right. Her left hand is placed uputi nis shoulder, while her queenly head rests loyingly upon his bosom. All they have to do is sit and listen to the music. "Now that is more like it. We have always regarded it as quite a nuisance to have to galiop a laile or more to get a few hugs. A roomful of peoplesitting around on sofas, bugging to music, is more to the popular notion. It give the old rheumaticky brethren another chance to 'waltz.' A man may lose his appetite for dancing, but he has to get pretty old before he loses his appetite to caress a pretty girl, and, seriously, should the men dress as indelicately as do the women the latter would throw up their bands in horror." Indiana Labor Troubles Light, Tbe report of State Labor Commissioner McCormack for 1!03 will show the year to have been comparatively quiet in Indiana, as far as labor difficulties were concerned. The year has seen about one hundred strikes, none of which, the report will say, was of large import. The largest body of men that went out was lnthe strike of the employes of the National Car and Foundry company, two months ago, at Jeffersonvilie. The differences, however, in thiscase, were settled amicably. The most generally advertised labor trouble of the year,- Mr. McCormadk says, was the lockout last summer at the Gemmer pump-works in Märion. This difficulty, he says, was of little importance, but elaborated stories were started by persons unfriendly to - the labor unions. Only aboiit thirty men were out in that trouble. These men refused to work while they were' waiting instructions from tbe national union as to whether they should go to work in the factory after It had. been declared an "open shop." He is gratified to see among the Indiana union men a disposition to consider seriously the results of strikes and to see that they are damaging to themselves, the employer and the community.

QUEEN OF THE ANTILLES

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL CUBA,; ONCE RENT BY WAR, NOW HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS Not Much Opportunity There at Thlf Time for Men From the States Un- ; less Well Equipped With Capital K Great Future Not Remote. Havana, Cuba, Special: Ther are several steamship lines connecting various ports of the United States with this enchanting island. Walking the streets of any of her cities, you will meet citizens from nearly every state. Of an evening when tne bands aro playing on the plaza3 you will meet fair-faced women from nearly every city in the Union, particularly at this time of the year. Some are merely sightseers, others the wives and daughters of men engaged in diplomatic callings, families of men engaged In professions, in manufactures, in commerce and trade, or engaged in agricultural pursuits. Yet Cuba is not an unpleasant place of residence in the summer season contrary to the universal belief of those who have never visited the island, the summers are not uncomfortable. I ara told by permanent residents that they on't feel the heat so much as the hot periods of the states. However, there is a luxurious in lolence In the air itself, and one's energy soon runs down. Since the American army took possession and Colonel Waring's "white wings" cleaned the streets and bywayg, putting Havana in a sound sanitary condition, it is one of the healthiest and cleanest cities in the world. Yellow fever hes been banished forever. Cuba is doing fairly well as an Independent republic, but there is not a little internal dissension, and some day when a cigarette-consuming native fires off a revolver and starts a revolution the people will rise up and ask annexation. Porto Rico, a near neighbor, has prospered so amazingly under our benign rule that Cuba looks toward statehood herself. Cuba's natural resources are being developed largely by American capital; and under American sovereignty, as it were, a still greater prosperity will be assured when complete control is had. There is an agricultural bureau that is flooding America with literature, ztA settlers from the States are sought to reclaim from riotous nature the millions of acres in rich soil now heavily cumbered with forests and a tropical jungle. Lands that were under cultivation wp to the recent war soon grew up In a wilderness and must be cleared anew, so luxuriant is the growth of tree and plant life. There are several small settlements where Americans are engaged In growing tomatoes, onions, etc Irrigation is pretty generally required, but if properly prprided three and four crops can fee guaranteed. The soil is so rich that sugar-cane need not be replanted as in the Statei, but yields crop after crop for tea or fifteen years before running out. Cane culture, tobacco and orange growing are great interests in the Island. Improved methods in the cultivation and care of pineapples have met with gratifying results. Bee-keeping is destined to be a. profitable industry also. Stock-raising Is beset with great difficulties in Cuba, however, and it will be many years before satisfactory results may be looked for. I find that fear of tornadoes is the greatest terror old residents experience. These disturbances occur at certain seasons of the year and often wipe out of existence great estates. If the country ever fills up with Americans these settlers must come from California or the southern tier of states. Most certainly farmers and fruit-growers from the middle and northern states would be pretty sure to make a decided failure In following their usual avocations here. The science of farming and fruit growing and truck gardening would have to be learned all over again. By personal observation I found the soli not any more productive than the lands of south Alabama or west Florida. In fact, the hogs that supply Havana and all the other cities come from the farms about Mobile and Pensacola, and most of them are of "the long, lean "razor-back" variety that run wild in their native country. Several men that I met said they were not pleased with the Instability of public affairs, and they were going back to the States. One man in particular, from near Decatur, 111., said that he had made a careful tour of the South before going to Cuba, and has now decided that there are greater opportunities in the rice lands of Louisiana and Texas, but that in diversified agricultural pursuits he thought the territory contiguous to Mobile and Pensacola the best. He' had been on the peninsula of Florida during the summer months and found that the same army of mosquitoes and Insects that made life In the summer an agony at Tampa, Palm Beach and Sanford were abundant also Iii Cuba. He remarkei that the higher cut-over pine lands near Mobile and Pensacola were always entirely free of these pests, and he believed that section would be the great cattle producing part of the country. Perhaps he had undue American prejudice against livIns under a foreign flag. J. M. KEENEY, JR. - Chicago I Kot Slfgrhted. Chicago, Dec. 2G.

ELKHART COUNTY JUSTICE. How It Affects Different Individuals. This is the way they do up the small fry criminals up in Elkhart county and, in fact in almost any county as told by the Goshen Democrat: Charles Rigney, of Goshen, 22; and Harry Swartz, of Elkhart, 24, who stole a suit case belonging to C. IL Olds, of Chicago, were sentenced from one to three years each. "Harry Searles, 22, who burglarized the Burrell & Morgan mill orlice and secu-ed 53 cents, was sentenced from two to fourteen years and disfranchised for one year. What a mistake these fellows made! Why didn't thoy loot a county treasury and be made much of and get a year or two In prison and all kinds of partisan sympathy? Why dida't they Mose" or 4mislay" a few thousands of school funds and give a swarm of attorneys a job to ferret it out the missing money, not tbe "losers thereof? Again, why not get busy and loot or mismanage a big bank and break up a half dozen concerns, cause a few suicides, breakup all public confidence and create general misery ? It seems quite certain that the Elkhart county small fry who stole from 56 cents up, didn't rise tooths occasion. They might have become prominent in politics instead of in prison, if they had.

This country must build it and control it. It cannot and will not allow a semi-civilized, or impotent or grasping handful of men ot whatever blood to block this great ; purpose. That is all there Is to the the great common sense of our people and of the nations of Europe recognize that.

This country would not be held up and promptly seized the chance offered by the revolution and secession of Panama. Christmas Gifts. There are some individuals who think that they must not give anything unless they can give something valuable.

There are others who, because they cannot afford to give as much as some of tholr neighbors or associates can, do not give anything. ' Both of these are mistaken notlocs.
