Tbe Republicans of Kosciusko and Marshall counties will meet in delegate convention at the town of Etna Green in Kosciusko county, on Monday, March 28th, 1904 at 2 o'clock p. for the purpose of nominating a candidate Tor senator, of which the delegates selected will take due notice. March 14, 1J04. L. W. Royse, chairman Kosciusko county, Foster Groves chairman Marshall county. With the Bristow report, the Smoot case, the Springfield riot and various other exciting episodes in his own domain, Uncle 8am has troubles of his own on hand just now. The world knows that there is a far Eastern war, but it does not know much about the results. Between Japanese secretivecess and Russian whitewashed reports the public is left to guess at the truth. Japan's trade with your Uncle Sam last year amounted to nearly $67.000,000 while that of Russia aggregated less than $31.000,000. Aside from any of the finer considerations involved, it is only human nature for a man in trade to sympathize with the patron who puts the most shingles on his roof. The latest report as to what the democrats are going to do at St. Louis is that Jndge Alton B. Parker is to be the nominee for president and Senator Francis M. Cockrell oi Missouri for vice-president. Senator Arthur Pue Gorman is to be chairman of the national committee and have charge of the campaign management. February had a bad record for fires Jo;tne United States, The aggregate loss foots up over $90,000,000.. The three largest conflagrations were in Baltimore, Md., Rochester, N. Y and tbe Wisconsin state capital. In January the fire loss amounted to 21,700,200, all told, making the entire loss for the first two months of the year over $111,000,000. The lynching of negroes is becoming a mania. North, south, east and west seems almost equally affected. Unless stringent measures are taken to stop these terrible affairs we will eventually have terrible race wars and a state of anarchy m America that will make us despised by other nations and set the country back a century in prosperity and influence. The story is now going the roJnds that Senator Fairbanks may be the next chairman of the republican national committee, to succeed the late Senator Ilanna, instead of being made the nominee for vice president. Several western papers have printed the rumor, which is Interesting chiefly because it is'a new contribution to the mass of speculation concerning national political affairs. In the eleventh or twelfth century - the Japanese were the most dashing pirates of the East; in fact, we might almost call them the vikings of the East. They used junks small ships with a scrap of sail, but the little vessels In which the Danes once raided our own coasts, or as the craft which the Penzance fishermen haye today. With these junks the Japanese reamed the seas, going everywhere along the Chinese main, ravaging the coasts, trading and bringing home priceless works of art from China. A democratic boom for General Miles for president has been launched In Iowa, and the general's political managers are starting the movement In other states. It Is expected to enlist the support of the wing of the party in the west opposed to the Hearst movement. General Mile3 has tlrcays been a republican and while he will probably aaiiate with the democrats in opposition to Rcccevelt, the c-pcricncs cf ttz democratic rorty tilth ITcro Greasy 3 ti:;ir cmdicitrcl izzz'.tczl ttM prctatly pr tziz rc-icii::a cf Cczuzl lilies.

China would be willing to let her Integrity take care of Itself if somebody would only guarantee tr. take care o! China.

Wages in the United States on the average are more than twice those in Belgium, three times those of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, and one and a half those in England and Scotland. The democrats need an issue for the campaign this year, and it begins to look as if they would be compelled to fall back upon the old question of the tariff. The wiser among them will ao so with reluctance, but it not easy to see what else is left to them. The Republican state convention will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, April 26 and 27. It will consist of 1,488 delegates, and 745 votes will be necessary to nominate. It is expected the contest for the nomination for governor will be a warm one from this time on. Russians are avoiding a decisive engagement until 300,000 troops shall have been concentrated in the far East, meanwhile being ready to allow the Japanese to occupy Port Arthur and Vladivo;tock, and possibly Harbin and Mukden. The report that Port Arthur already has falleu is pronounced incorrect. The Indianapolis Journal says Editor Metsker has no more use for Hearst as a candidate for president than he would for a Chinaman and tbe chances are that when he gets through shooting hot shot into the Hearst boom in Marshall county it will have collapsed like a toy balloon ou old settlers' day. It is well known that a man is usually judged by the company he keeps and if Reed Smoot is ousted from his seat in the United States senate it will be becauso of tbe storm of public censure raised by the defiant attitude of his Mormon friends. Mr. Smoot is not a polygamist and he has a good record as a citizen but he trains in very bad company. It is time to begin to think about city officers who will be elected the first Tuesday in May, The question ought not to be who wants to be mayor, marshal or councilmen, but who ought to fill these positions. Every citizen ought to give this matter earnest and-, thoughtful consideration. These officers should be honest, upright, leyel-headed men who will reflect credit upon the city. what is Involved. The Philadadelphia North American gives this clear statement .of the real bearing on Mr. Smoot of the hear0 iog now in progress before the senate committee of privileges and election: President Smith's disclosures are important chiefly as bearing upon the case at trial the eligibility of Reed Smoot, who was duly elected, to a seat in the United States senate. Against this man, it must be understood no accusation of unworthy conduct has been sustained. The somewhat violent aspersions of women's organizations do not alter the facts that he has never practiced polygamy, and in public and private life has been a citizen of exemplary character. The charge, therefore, is not that he is personally unfit to hold tbe office of senator, but that the system which he represents, condones and defends is so radically opposed to the law and public policy that his participation in the making of laws would be an absurdity and a dangerous precedent. WANTS 10 SUCCEED FAIRBANKS. Louis Ludlow, the Washington correspondedtof the Indianapolis Star says an arrangement with an important bearing on republican politics in Indiana, was made in Washington last week. Congressmen Hemenway is now positively and actively a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Mr. Fairbanks. The last step in the creation of bis candidady was an agreement reached between nim and Charles L. nenry of Indianapolis at a conference in Mr. Henry's room at the Willard Hotel the night before the latter left Washington for Indianapolis. At that conference Mr. Henry agreed to keep out of the senatorial race and to throw the weight of his pcrconal influence to nemcnTray.

nature of ; things, one would .not be a candidate against the other. Delavan Smith of Indianapolis, who has also been in Washington during tbe last ten days, will likewise support Congressman nemenway as successor to his cousin, Mr. Fairbanks It is proposed, as part of the general plan, that Mr. Henry shah either be made vice-chairman of the national committee, if that can be brought about, or placed in charge of the western headquarters in Chicago. The fact that Messrs. Henry and Smith, who control respectively the Indianapolis Journal and the News, and maintain very confidential relations with Senator Fairbanks, are for Mr. Hemenway for the Senate, confirms the statement heretofore made in these dispatches that' Senator Fairbanks has decided to accept the vicepresidential nomination.

There are indications that the miners have oted ic such a way as to avert the threatened strike. It is now up to Senator Smootto prove that plural marriage in Utah is purely a Smithsonian institute at the worst. President Roosevelt makes it plain that the trusts will now have to obey the law as decided by the supreme court. The Prohibitionists propose to nominate General Miles for president. They are evidently trying to kill the boom started in favor of Miles for the democratic nomination. A rumor is current in the principal cities of tbe east that the Russian fleet escaped from Port Arthur, March 11, and joined the four cruisers of Vladivostock squadron. A big battle is hourly expected. Although the position of Pension Comrrissitner is not always an easy, pleasant or popular place to fill, there seems to be no lack of men who are willing to do their best when Mr. Ware is ready to turn It over to somebody else. When Congressman Brick received his first nomination over fifty ballots were necessary and he won by a very narrow margin. His three subsequent nominations have been by acclamation. ' This is a record of which any man might well be proud. It Is said that Judge A. B. Parker, of New York, whom the re-organizers seem to think will be the democratic candidate forp.esldent, emits a dry cough when an interviewer ' approaches him and will not even commit himself to the weather. The reoreanizers are getting a good many favorable press comments on their efforts to save the party from those who have been voting the' Democratic ticket In recent years, but up to date the Bryan-Hearst alliance seems to be gathering in most of the delegates to the St. Louis convention. The supreme court of the United States holds that congress has full power over insterstate commerce, that the anti-trust law is constitutional, that it applies to railroads as to other corporations, and that it forbids, not simply unreasonable, but all contracts in restraint of trade. It was well known for several weeks before the meeting of tbe Convention at Knox that Congiessman Brick would be renominated by acclamation. It seems to have been settled by the republicans of all the congressional districts in Indiana that the old members of congress must be returned this year that there must, be no 4 'swapping of horses while crossing a creek." That Mr. Brick will be reelected by a large majority is not doubted, even by the democrats of this district. ' The decision of the United States supreme court, fully sustaining the validity of the Sherman anti-trust law is one of the greatest and most far reaching ever made by a court in this country and will be hailed with joy by ordinary business men and common people everywhere. Justice Harlan, 0 who wrote the opinion on the power of cc egress to control trusts has covered himself all over with glory. It is a masterly interpretation of law and is a feather In the cap of Attorney General Knox, who acting under the direction of President Roosevelt instituted the proceedings and carried the suit to a successful issue. Mr. Knox 13 proving himself one of the greatest lawyers that ever c:ld the petition cf United Statca attcrneyrzzzzzl. V

PRICK RENOMINATED

Chosen by Acclamation. Dr. Knott of This . City Elected Delegate to the National Convention. The republicans of the Thirteenth congressional" district met in convention at the new opera house in Knox at 1:30 p. m. Tuesday. A. L. Brick was nominated for congress by acclamation. Dr. D. C. Knott DR. D. C. KNOTT, Delegate to Republican National Convention. of this city, and Elmer S. Smith of Pulaski county were chosen delegates to the national convention. Lyman Brackett of Rochester, was nominated for presidential elector. O. J. Danielson of Hamlet, and F. H. Wurzer of South Bend, were made alternate delegates to tbe national convention. Council Proceedings. The city council met in regular session in the city hall Monday evening. Mayor Knott called the meeting to order. x 'Prosper Ball and John B. Bowell presented a petition to extend the gas franchise to July 25. The gas men notified the council that Mr. Freece will be in the city Wednesday evening and agreed to meet at the call of .the mayor, to consider and investigate Mr. Freece's proposition. The exteation was preposed. John L. Snyder, the street cleaner requested the council to raise his salary to $2.00 per day. The request was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. Sherman Harris presented a bill for claim of $46.15 for damages done to provisions in his cellar during the re cent bigu water. The claim was referred to a special committee. The finance report is as follows: Amount on hand ,$2362.91,. Bills allowed $833.91, leaving a balance or $1493.22. A bill of W. W. natch & Sons, a large sum for extras and interest was referred to Councilmen Reynolds, Astley and Parker. The Webster Avenue sewer bond's were sold to Fraok Jacox at par. The Center and South streets pavement bonds were taken at par by W. W. Hatch & Sons. Adam E. Wise1 and Peter Jeffirs requested the council to provide a temporary drainage for the east end or Williams street. This request was referred to a committee. No other business to be transacted, the council adjourned. Newspaper Statements Don't Count. And so Dr. Probert, all around crook and swindler with a penitentiary record in Wisconsin, a bank swindling record at Bourbon, Ind.. and Eau Claire, Mich., and a snide medical diploma mill at Niles, has turned up a swindler again in a bank enterprise at Dayton, Ore., and is missing. The people out there think he may have suicided. Farbe it from' their thoughts. He has probably only gone to the next county seat to repeat the operation and further prove that several suckers are born every minute and that people would rather trust a glib stranger than home grown honesj ty. Heaven alone knows how much more of a rotten ipprd Probert has than is already enumerated, but it has had wide publicity and yet that doesn't seem to count. South Bend Times. On the Vice President's Mind. "Representative Watson, of Indiana, was reminded of a story they used to tell on Adlal E. Stevenson when he was Vice President of the United Statas. 'Stevenson was walking along the street one day, "he said, "when there started a discussion of the inconsequential of the Vice President. " 'He wears a hat the same size as any other man, one of those discussing the question said, 'and wear the same size shoe as any other man, and he has not a darn thing on his mind but the health of the President. ' New York World. New York Republicans. The men who control the affairs of the republican party in New York are vise enough to know that Roosevelt is the only candidate who can carry their state this year. They know that if he were defeated for nomina tion and some other candidate taken inhlspface at the behest of Wall street, New York would be put in the democratic column without question. The president had reason to expect the endorsment of his party in New York, and the action oi' the committee should presage tbe adoption by the state convention in April of a hearty resolution of indorsement and the selection of delegates pledged to work fcr h!a nomination.

Going To Jerusalem? This will be a great year for the stockholders of the Jerusalem & Joppa railroad, Twelve thousand Sunday-school workers are going over this queer little line from Joppa to the ancient capital of the Holy Land. They are go ing on a sacred pilgrimage. They have left America and will reach Asia in April. The road is only thirty-one miles long, but it runs dining cars. Longdistance eaters sometimes finish their desert in the depot at Jerusalem, though it takes the little wood-burning engines an hour and a half to pull the train over the line. While this is annoying to the camel driyers who do the freighting of the Jerusalem Transfer Company, it gives the Jerusalem beggars a chance to pull themselves together after their onslaught on the first passengers to alight. ' The Sunday-school pilgrims will travel 10,000 miles. And in all this distance they will suffer less inconvenience and hardship than was suffered by pilgrims in the tenth century after they had landed in Joppa. They did well to get away with their lives. The Sunday-school pilgrims, taking tents with them, will be able to-escape the Jerusalem flea and the coolfing of the few and bad Jerusalem hotels. This will enable them to drink to its depth the inspiration of the wonderful land. They will come home broader men and women for their contact with a wider' world, and deeper Christians for having walked where the founder of Christianity was wont to spend his days. Coal From Marsh Soil. South Bend capitalists are interested in a new method of manufacturing artificial coal. The material is dirt soil from the Kankakee marshes in Laporte and Porter counties, and the promoters believe that their method will supersede tbe use of coal in Indiana. Samples of the briquettes made by artificial means were submitted to the state factory inspector. Samuel Robinson of South Bend is the chief promoter of the . new enterprise. When mixed with chemicals, the soil of tbe marshes is subjected to enoraous hydraulic pressure. The product is harder than coal and more combustible. It contains a larger percentage of carbon, but makes less smoke than anthracite, its inventors claim.

Why We Haye Laws. :There seems to be no hope for me," complained the prisoner. "They've brought out evidence I had no idea they could prod ace. They've demolished the alibi I expected to set up and I guess we'd better quit. 1 don't care to spend any more money on the case." . 4 We ' 1, yon.i e a fine sort of fellow, ' ' replied the lawyer. "What does their evidence amount to anyway? I've discovered a place in the law where a comma is used in place of a semicolon, and, more than that, there's an 'n' turned upside down in the third clause. We've got the finest kind of chance to get you off on a technicality." A FATAL MISTAKE is Often Made by the Visest oi Plymouth People. It's a fatal mistake to neglect backache.

With the passing of time the aching increased and every morning I commenced work with fear and trembling for I learned that sach day's was similar to the preceding one as far as my aching back was concerned. I knew what I would be obliged to endure and this dread of itself is sufficient to cause irritability and nervousness in any man. A friend advised me to try a standard remedy extensively advertised but I failed to receive any benefit.

EVILS WROUGHT BY PROMOTERS

Widow Killed Herself When Bottom Dropned Out oi Watered Stock. Mrs. Joseph Kuntzman, of New York city, killed herself because she had lost her fortune. When her husband, Joseph Kuntzman,, who was a law partner of former Secretary Root, died seven years ago, he left his widow more than $600,000. By the advice of Wall street finan-v ciers, Mrs. Kuntzman invested her money in steel stock, shipouilding securities and other inflated stocks. She lost every dollar and her handsome home besides. I wish I were dead and my troubles over, " said Mrs. Kuntzman to her two daughters. A few minutes afterwards she swallowed carbolic acid. Let us change the statement in the first paragraph of this article. Mrs. Kuntzman die not kill herself. She was murdered. By whom? By then" nancial promoters who inflited the stocks which they sold to a confiding public to widows like Mrs. Kuntzman. These promoters did not conspire to murder their victims. They conspired to steal only. But they are responsible for the ruin and suffering and suicides that followed their wholesale theft. When the house-breaker enters your house tosteal he is prepared to commit murder if nesessary. When men conspire to water stocks and sell the water, receiving therefor dollars which stain the palms of theirhands bloodencrusted, tear-staiDel dollars they should be prepared to do murder if necessary. The only difference letween such robbers and the house-breakers is this. One set robs and kills against the law. The other set robs and kills according to law. . Struck It the First Time. A story is told in the House Democratic cloak-rooms of 'Representative Bankhead's appearance, at one of the registration places of Alabama. He found the registration officials busily engaged in ascertaining a negro's qualifications for exercising the right of suffrage. One of the requisites, under the new constitution, is ability to read or interpret any part of that document. Mr. Blankhead was standing at one side observing the proceeding, when a registration official approached in great perplexity. "Mr, Blankhead," said he, "this is a very smart negro. We have asked him every question we can think of. He answers them all. Can you suggest anything?" "Why don't you ask him to explain a writ of certiorari?' responded the astute Alabama memqer. I That was done. The negro scratched his head for a time, very much in doubt what to say. " 'Deed, boss," he finally replied, 'I guess you've done got me. I doan know what dat Is 'cept it be something to keed a nigger from voting." Washington Post.Blue Island, 111., Jan. 14. 1901. Messrs.

One by one the pioneers of Marshall county are passing to the realms unseen by mortal eyes. This week we have fr chronicle the deaths of John Jacoby and Minerva Monroe, both residents of this county j for almost sixty years. John Jacoby died at his farm east of this city Tuesday afternoon. Fiftyfour years ago he and his bride, who was Miss Serena Ray. went to a humble home on the farm where Mr, Jacoby died and there they lived happily until parted by death. Their wedded life was blessed by a family of seven children, five of whom are living-John Jacoby was born in Schuylkill county, Pa., moved with his father's family to Ohio when he was nine years old and from there came to Marshall county in 1847 and for 57 years made his home near where he died. The principal feature of his education was of a practical kind which taught him at an early age to follow the plow, but be was well informed and throughout his long residence in this county he enjoyed tbe confidence and esteem of all who knew him. The small farm which he purchased before his marriage was increased to almost 300 acres of which was in a fine state of cultivation at the time of his death. He was a thorough and systematic farmer, honest and Industiious, enterprising, always a firm friend of public improvements, one of the best types of the men who have made this county one or tbe best in Indiana. In politics be was a republican from the foundation of tbe party until bis death and was also a prominent member of the Reformed church. Mrs. Monroe was one of the oldest settlers of Polk township and at the time of her death had resided there over 56 years. Iler maiden name wasLemert. She was the mother of Edward, Fred, Charles and Robert Monroe, Mrs. Frank Johnson, Warren Johnson, and Mrs. Charles Walburn, of this city was her foster daughter. She was a true, whole-souled pioneer, honest as the day, kind-hearted but conscientious and always stood firmly for what she believed to be right. She will be missed by her family and a lanre circle "of friends. List of Unclaimed Letters.
