Tbere.are 40.000,000 Japs. Remembering South Africa, Russia will not count on a little war. The annual report of the director of the mint shows that the institution is not only making money, but. strangely enough, doing so at a profit. General Reyes, In behalf of Colombia, demands that former conditions on the isthmus be restored and bis country allowed to put down the rebellion alone. William Jennings Bryan said in a speech at Berlin that bis experience with American consuls abroad compels him to believe that the Republican party contains good men .

The Rursians and the Japs may not mean to do so, but they are really occupying an undue amount of space In o- , ft , ' xthe public ' prints, considering how little they are accomplishing. War may not come between Russia and Japan, but it is evident they both intend to be fully prepared for it. The military movements are significant and the orders for commissary supplies are on a stupendous scale. It is said that the Ohio law making counties pay damages in lynching cases has greately checked mob law in the Buckeya State. When mob law must be paid for, a great many people can perceive how very demoralizing it is. II. T. Newcomb, economist, declares In address before American Academy for the advancement of Science in its session at St! Louis that the application of the golden rule will close the breach between capital and labor. There are today 7,500,000 day laborers in this country. One and onefourth millions belong to national trade unions and another million to trade unions not yet national in their scope, and the remainder comprise the army of unorganized labor. Well-written, able and convincing arguments in favor of the ratification of the Panama treaty have appeared in the Atlanta Constitution, St. Louis Republic, Cincinnati Enquirer, Brook lyn Eagle and a number of other equally prominent and Influential Democratic papers, North and South. Senator Gorman has broken his basket of eggs. lie tossed his bead to high when he saw the Panama prolhm reappearing, and over went bis presidential aspirations. He failed to recognize the fact that the south is almost as solid for the canal as it is lor the democratic party. Elkhart Review. . A United. States Senator whose name is not given utters a warning to republicans that they should heed. lie points out two dangers apparent but often ignored, apathy from Gverconfidence, and the seeming disregard of issues that are forcing themselves in the contest. He declares Roose velt's nomination a certainty and de clares it the proper and popular se lection. But he sees danger and warns against them. The road supervisors of the state of New York have resolved, in state con vention to ask the legislature to ap propriate two million dollars per year for three years, for the systematic rebuilding of the roads of the state. This six millions is but the beginning. By that time it is expected that the issue of $50,000,000 of state bonds for the same purpose will have been rati fied at the polls by the people of the state, and . the work can then be pushed rapidly. Thursday, January 7, the Russian Christmas may prove to be an Important date. It is the date set by Japan as the expiration of the limit beyond which no answer to her last diplomatic note will be received, and dispatches from Kishineff say It Is the date fixed for another massacre of Jews. Prominent British Jews have been trying to secure joint action by the British and American governments to avert the expected massacre, but the subject is a delicate one to handle. Since Senator II ale, of Maine, has t expressed hl3 determination to vote for the canal treaty its passage no longer remains in question, ne doesn't like It, but he says that "Col ombia ms holding us up apd meant to rob us; Roccevelt and Hay were ctli-J to do n they did.1 Ho further rcraarlee, "I have ccea no uey f:ci tlx l:!n-!rj creep to ratify

t-3 1:;-.7 --3 cr3 ill t::i cl it."

It is reported that-Japan has forty war ships waiting for the word to tight, therefore Russia's conservative attitude just now is not surprising. Secretary Hay will go to ThomasTille, Ga., to recuperate his health as soon as he has recovered sufficiently to endure the fatigue of the journey. Chicago banks will distribute to their stockholders In January $1,150,000 in dividends. General dividend and interest disbursements, in New York in January are estimated at nearly 9134,000,000. -

John C. Wingate, of Wingate, was Friday appointed as state tax commissioner by Gov.-Durbin. 'His term ex pi red last March and he has been an active candidate to succeed himself. A number of other candidates appeared for the place, "which is regarded as one. jot the most desirable within the gift of the governor, aod which pays $2200 a year, and is regarded as a very desirable position. ' Panama says it will assume its proportion of the Colombian exterior debt as soon as Colombia recognizes Its independence. After their experience with the $10,000,000 which they didn't get, this may be a proposition which the Colombians will regard as worthy of serious consideration. It must be remembered that getting out of debt enables a nation as well as an individual to borrow mere money. A review of the climate and agri culture of last year, , which, ranks as one of great agricultural produce, re veals some curious facts. Canada reaped the greatest wheat crop ever grown in the. Dominion. Australia, on the other hand, had to endure the worst of all the disastrous droughts it has known, and the grain harvest was nearly ruined, and many millions of sheep, with thousands of cattle, perished. An additional sum of $3,000,000 will be required to conduct the rural free celivery service until June 30, when the current fiscal year will end. There are now in operation about 20,000 routes. On July 1 it is estimated that the number of routes will be increased to about 23,000. It will take $15,000,000 to maintain the service In the next fiscal year. With. the number of agents now employed it will re quire about $3,000,000 additional to enable the department to. establish the service during the fiscal year 19045 as rapidly as routes are examined. Should congress provide fcr an Increas ed number of agents, as recommended by Fourth Assistant Bristow, It will require about $4,000,000 additional or $19,000,000 to maintain and install the service during the next fiscal year. Party Reorganization. Apropros of the reorganization of both parties in Indiana now at hand, John B. Stoll. editor of the South Bend Times, makes the following suggestion: It ought to soon dawn upon the minds of the managers of both polit ical parties in this State that winter is not a good or propitious time for the selection of committees that are to serye during the campaign that is to come on in five or six months. It would be infinately preferable to select the new committeemen after the State or national nominations shall have been made, for the reason that such selections could then be made with special5 reference to possibly changed conditions, relations and cir cumstances. The old committees could do all that needs to be done and do it with a better understanding, predicated on practical experience. Truth is, there is a great deal ot crudeness in the machinery of all of our political parties. It stands very much in need of scientific reconstruction." Ar. Rockefeller's Geld. A good many people seem disposed to criticise those colleges that accept the Rockefeller gold.! This is not as its'jould be. It will be granted that Mr. Rockefeller is not a popular mac, there Is good reason why he should not be popular. B'vit It is carrying public prejudice too far to condemn the colleges' for, getting endowments. Millionaires' money is only good as it is used. Unpopular as Mr. Rockefeller is, he is spending money wisely when he devotes it to the cause of education, instead of lavishing iüon bimeslfand his family, as some millionaires do. Chicago University will live after Rockefeller has been forgotten.

Fatal Wreck on the Pennsylvania. One of tue, worst wrecks In this vicinity for a long time occurred on the Pennsylvania one mile west of Larwill this morning. , . There was a head end collision between the limited fast train No. 5, and a freight train. The, engines of both trains were almost demolished. The baggageman on the limited was killed bis car being telescoped and the engineer of the limited train is so badly crushed and mangled that he will probably die. Nine other railroad men were hurt, but only two or three of them serious

ly. Most of those injured were taken to Chicago. Dr. Aspinall accompani ed them from this city. The collision was caused by the en gineer of the freight train mistaking an order. He read it 6:30 when it was 5:30 a. m, that the fast train was due at Larwill. A mistake of an hour is a bad one and is certainly due to carelessness . on the part of some body. . - . 5 Three persons are dead as the result of the wreck on the Pennsylvania one mile, west of Larwill Tuesday , morn Ing, they are Oliver Herbert, engineer, Elmer Stafford, fireman, and R. Snyder, baggageman. The wreck occurred on a grade and the limited was oing at a rate of forty miles an hour and the freight about ten miles an hour at the time of the collision. The freight train had orders to sine t'aek at Wooster for the fast line, but the engineer attempted to reach the siding at Larwill before the limited should reach that station. Both trains were heavy and when they met the two engines were telescoped together for several feet and two coaches and four freight cars were smashed. Tne engineer and fireman on the freight train - saw the danger in time and jumped, avoiding serious injury. The ' passeuger train crew were unaware of any danger and the engineer and fireman were buried underneath the wreckage of the engine. They were taken from underneath it In a dying condition an hour after the wreck. They lived but a short time. The dining car conductor on the limited was sitting in the first seat of the second coach when the collision occurred and was pinned in bis seat by the wreckage and Injured about the back and shoulders. The electrician, porter and barber on the train suffered minor Injuries. ' None of the passengers were seriously injured and some of them who were in the sleepers were unaware that a wreck had occurred for hours aftewards. What Tramps Cot Indiana. Statistics compiled by Secretary Butler, of the State board of charities, show that there has been a decrease in vagrancy in Indiana. In the last fiscal, yaar, 1,042 fewer tramps were cared for than in 1902. Twenty counties, however, show an increase in the number of tramps detained in the jails. In the year 3,008 men and 51 women vagrants were admitted to the jails, a number which Secretary Butler says is far too large Of this number. 11 .negroes were admitted, oneof whom was a woman. Ninety-seven were children;. 1.742 were between the ages of 17 and 35; 7C9 were between 36 and 50; 427 were more than 50. Lafayette had the largest number, 585; Laporte second, 452. The jails and workhouse in Indianapolis admitted 190. During the year more than 100 vagrants were admitted at the jails at Logansport, Goshen. Marlon aud Franklin. Twentynine counties report that no tramps have been received, 18 of which bad the same record the preceding year. The tramps cared for cost the taxpayers $5,242.52, of which $376 82 was paid to the sheriffs for board and $1,481.70 went for the "in-and-out" fees. The average expense for each tramp was $1,71. The total cost for fees and board is $1,045.10 less than in 1902. Find bold In Duck's Oizzaid. In the gizzard of a duck cooked for Christmas dinner at LaCrosse, Wis., a family residing near an old sand bed in the southern fjortion of that city there wr.s discorored a dozen irregularly shaped pieces of pure gold, varying from the size of a pin head to a pea. Jeweler J, E.Geiwitz tested the metal aod declared it solid gold. It is believed the property where the goose fed was once the bed of the Mississippi River. Other similar chunks of gold were found on the property bur ied In the sand. The matter is being investigated by experts, and it is expected discoveries of a sensational nature will develop. " Prtiid:r.tcfCir.XUSLtd. Horace Sr .Hubbard has brought suit on a five-thwsand-dollar note against Justus L. P.rodrlck, president of the wrecked Indiana National Bank in Elkhart, and his two brothers, Charles B. Brodrick und John H. Brodrick. The money was borrowed In 1895 of Samuel D. nubbard, now dead.

Funeral services were held at the Stuck church at noon today and the remains interred at the McElrath cemetery. Mrs. John Zehner. Sarah J., wife of John Zehner, died at her home in Argos, Dec. 25, after a long illness. Deceased was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, her maiden name was Wickizer. She was a sister of Andrew, Jacob, James and Pulaski Wickizer and Mrs. Edward Cavender, who recently died at Rutland, and an aunt of Mrs. Clarence Slayter of this city. She came to Marshall county with her parents almost 50 years ago and was among the oldest settlers of the county. She was about 64 years old and leaves a husband, three sons and four daughters. One daughter Mrs. Minnie Jordan and one son Solomon Zehner reside in Oregon. Both got here for the funeral of their mother which will be held at the Christian church in Argos, of which she was a faithful member, Tuesday, Dec. 29, at 10:00 a.m. Henry P. Langdon. Henry P. Langdon died at his home in this city at 5:10 p. m. Tuesday after an illness of only five hours; apoplexy being the cause of his death. He had been feeling unusually well up to noon Tuesday when he suddenly found that something was wrong and told his wife that he felt like he had a stroke of paralysis. A physician was called at once, but he was beyond the reach of medical skill; a blood vessel at tbe base of the brain had broken and within an hour he was unconscious and died as above stated. Deceased was born at Bridgeport, Conn., March 16, 1853, came with his parents to Inwood when he was a small boy and had been a resident of this county over forty years and for more than 30 years a resident of Plymouth. He was united in marriage with Miss Sarah DeLoney about 22 years ago and she with four children, two sons and two daughters survive. He also leaves three sisters and one brother. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church at 9 o'clock Thursday morning; interment at the Catholic cemetery. Profits of United States Mint, The annual report of George E. Roberts, director of tbe mint, will show that during the past year the government made a ?ood profit on the manufacture of silver dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. In fact, the clear earnings of the mints more than paid the expenses of running them last year, indicating that the mint service is one of the very lew branches of the government that is self-supporting. The total expenditures for tbe mints Including tbe salaries of the director and the numerous employes, were $1,805,000 last year, while tbe earnings were $8,699,000, a profit of sometbiiig like $6,800,000 The great' bulk of the surplus came from the seigniorage on the coining of silver dollars, amounting to nearly $5,500,000. This is the profit that Uncle Sam makes in purchasing the crude silver and coin ing it into dollars. This source of in come will cease in a few weeks, how ever, as the stock of silver bullion in the treasury is practically exhausted and no authority exists for the secre tary of the treasury to buy more. It also means that the coinage of silver dollars is soon to come to an end. Many of the South American countriesdepend on the mints of the Unit ed States to produce their gold and silver coins. A slight charge is made for this service, the profits last year amounting to $15,00 as tbe result of turning out a batch of coins for' Colombia and Venezuela. Pope Grants Dispensation. Catholic clergymen have received notices from Bishop Alerding, of Fort Wayne, Ind., bishop of the ' Fort Wayne diocese, that the pope has granted a dispensation from abstinence on New Year's day. which this year comes on Friday. This is an unusual decree. A dispensation from abstinence on New Year's when falling on Friday, has not been granted in the memory of the oldest Catholic and possibly not in the history of the church. A universal dispensation for Christmas has been granted when that holiday falls on Friday, the feast being considered of sufficient importance to justify the decree.
