Tbe year 1904, with two big nres, a war and widespread floods to the credit of its first quarter, promises to eclipse the catastrophes of 1W03 Duties of managing the republican national campaign, which were performed by the late M. A. Ilanna, probably will be divided between two ct more men. The number of applications for pensions under the new service rule reaches 1,000 a day and promises to Increase. Estimates of the cost to the government appear to have been too low. At the funeral of the Korean dowager empress the other day, an empty casket, was carried in the procession In order to fool the devil. The Koreans'must think the devil is a Hussion. The checks which pass through the London clearing house in six weeks more than equal all the coin in the world. There is no necessity for so much money as was necessary to do business twenty y ?ars ago. A strong demand Is made in London for the Introduction of German instruction in public schools. It is argued that a knowledge of German is of greater advantage to a majority of pupils, than a smattering of any of the dead languages. The Manchurian ''brigands" have a reputation for skill and courage in guerrilla fighting, aswelias for rapacity and cruelty. If they definitely side with the Japanese, the Cossacks guarding the rrilway will not eat the bread of idleness. Bv a viva voce vote only one memter dissenting, the House Friday decided that the salary of rural route free delivery carriers should "be $720 a year, the bill fixing that salary prohibiting carriers acting as agents for any person whatever. The same Tennessee jury which recommended a confessed wife murderer to mercy, sentenced a man who hid Stolen a bucket of coal to tea years in the penitentiary. The coal belonged to a relative of one of the jurors. Tennessee justice seems to be modeled after the Kentucky article. Japan was the last cation to enter the circle of world powers, but her emperor's pedigree makes 'the pedigree of other sovereigns lookshabby. He is the 122d in unbroken, direct descent, the founder of his house being contemporaneous with Nebuchadnezzar, 666 B. O. Two years ago when George W. gteele was defeated for the nomination for congress in the Eleventh district he immediately started about securing tbe nomination In 1904, remarking wben be did so that he was in the bands of bis friends. He is still there. Senator Walter L. Ball of Muncie, has formally announced his candidacy . for the Republican " nomination for lieutenant governor of Indiana. Although he has but a month in which to make a canvass, his friends assert that he has an equal chaace with Hugh Th.' Miller, of Columbus, and Floyd Newby, of Knightstown, the other candidates. Congress will not authorize a suryey of Indiana Harbor. at this session. The House committee on rivers and harbors refused to reconsider its determination not to provide for any surveys at th?s Time. Representative Crumpacker made every effort to secure an exception in the case of Indiana Harbor, but without avail. The committee will report a bill carrying CS,COO,000.

It Is not necessary for Mr. Hearst to make speeches in or out of congress when he has a substitute tbat beats speeches in securing delegates to a national convention.

Russia now announces that she has no intention of sending troops into Korea. If she bad made a positive and unqualified statement of that kind six. months ago there would have been no It is difficult to see what the democrats are going to get out of the antitrust issue. . Cleveland did nothing to enforce the anti-trust -law, while Attorney General Olney declared it unconstitutional. A comparison with Roosevelt and Knox Is somewhat significant. Bryan says American society is in danger from an open conflict between the rich and the poor. Should It ever come it can be truthfully said that be as much as any other man has been responsible for it. He has been up and down the land for eight . years preaching the doctrine of class strife. The New York Christian Advocate, ou being asked on whichside its sympathies are in the Eastern war, replies discreetly that as between Japan and Russia its sympathies are with the Finns and the Jews. And, come to think about It, these two peoples seem to need all the sympathy there is to spare. The South begins to threaten that if the Parker and Hearst factions do not stop quarreling they will present a southern man and demand bis nomination on the ground that they furnish about all the electoral votes that can be given any democratic candidate and have better presidential timber than either Hearst or Parker. From men of all parties comes the statement that most city governments are weak and inefficient. This is the opinion of the most thoughtful men and it is appalliig to contemplate, It proves that well meaning people do not interest themselves in city.affairs in such a . way as to insure the sort of government they ought to have and can have ir they try Up to a late hour Arkansas holds the record for lynchings, thirteen negroes having been put to death near St..Cbarles, In that state, in the last few days. The experience of the world teaches that goodness has never baen seared, shot, baked and roasted into a race of people. Law and order is a misnomer and civilization only skin deep where people are murdered regardless of law. The Washington Post thus discourseth: ''Newspapers throughout th3 country are printing a statement to the effect that apple pie is the favorite at the National capital. It may be most used, but plum pie is in most demand." Will the Post schedule the name, age, previous condition of servitude and political leanings of the man at the National capital who refused any sort of pie, just so long as it was pie? - V William J. Bryan seems not to have made up his mind yet whether Judge Parker will do or not. When he was asked in New York on Saturday what he thought of the Parker movement he said be had not reached a decision yet. "I have endeavored to finoTout exactly where he stands," said the peerless and twice defeated one. ."I have read in the newspapers that Judge Parker's position on the bench precludes the expression of opinions on bis part, but it is my idea that a man who has so prominently spoken of as a presidential candidate should be able to give his opinions publicly." Probably when Mr. Bryan, makes up bis mind whether Judge Parker will do or not he will let the party know. Senator Barton of Kansas, was convicted at St. Louis Monday, of using bis influence at Washington in favor of a securities company which was in trouble with the postofflce department'. The senator, was convicted on three counts and will ba fined $10,000 and may be sent to the penitentiary. If he does cot g'et a new trial and the verdict or the jury is upheld he will be impeached by the United States senate and forever prohibited from holding any public ofice. It is refreshing to know that a United States senator can b3 punished for violation cf lawjucü th2 iz2 zs an ordinary . . - . individual.

Assistant Postmaster General Bristuw has -30,00 employes undar him, snd about 200 congressmen on top of him.

The New York Tribune says that out of 236 delegates chosen to the Chicago convention 203 have been definitely instructed for Roosevelt. Results of the democratic primaries in the larger counties In New York assure Judge Parker the state vote in the national convention. United States army otEcers seem to be in bard luck. General Funston was called down for talking too much and Fred Grant Is roasted for not talking enough. Plans have been drawn for a canal costing two hundred million dollars, connecting the Black sea witli the Baltic. If this canal is completed it will make the Panama canal look like a Starke county ditch. The trial of Walter Brown, which began at Indianapolis Monday, afternoon, will take about ten days. It is believed that the Elkhart bank investigation will be closed the latter part of next week by the sentencing of Brodrick, Brown and Collins to terms in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. The conviction of Senator Burton of Kansas of having used his influence to uphold a bucket shop has brought out the statement that he has alwavs been suspected of personal as well as political dishonesty. Yet be was sent to the United States senateQby the Kansas legislature to take the place of Senator Baker, one of the honest and able men of the state. Men who are dishonest in politics will be dishonest wherever they have a chance. SENATOR PARKS. The re-nomination of Hon. John W. Parks at Etna Green, Monday afternoon, was a compliment of which any man might well be proud. It shows that the voters of Kosciusko and Marshall counties appreciate the honesty, industry and faithfulness .of a public servant. Kosciusko had two excellent candidates and had nineteen of the thirtytwo delegates in the convention, but the splendid record of Senator Parks during the past four years had won him hosts of friends in Kosciusko county who felt that there could be nothing gained by substituting an unt .--.-Vt t t x t i t Senator John W. Parks. nTTTT TTTTtTTTtTTtTttTTtt tried man for Mr. Parks; consequently when the Kosciusko county delegates were unable to agree on one candidate enough delegates voted for Senator Parks on the second ballot to give him the nomination. Nobody was expecting a nomination on the second ballot and the friends of Senator Parks did not realize that he was nominated until the vote was announced. Mr. Parks will be re-elected by an overwhelming majority. There are hundreds of democrats who feel that Mr. Parks is an honor to the district and they will honor themselves by voting for him, The generosity of Kosciusko county in again giving us a senator will not be forgotten by the republicans of Marshall county. ' The Cost of a. Boy. A man in Peru, says' an exchange, Is lecturing on the "Cost of a Boy," He has no boys of his own and draws his conclusions from his knowledge of what other men's boys have cost their parents. The cost of some boys can not be measured in dollars and cents. Some parents are compelled to pay in shame, sorrow and grief, There are other boys who bring joy and gladness and whatever the cost of such a boy may be it is paid gladly. There are too many boys who give no thought to what hey are costing their parents. Even the best boy scarcely appreciates what an Indulgent , parent does for him, There atT too many boys vrfco riever consider a mother's sohcituda for their well being. The cost cf a toy who mset3 the expectations zl hti pirtnta iz dT7;3 paid c!::::fcl-ly.

Three Elkhart Scoundrels,

We cannot recall an instance where deliberate and audacious thievery was ever more deliberately practiced by scoundrelly bank officials than vas practiced by the men in charge of the Indiana national at Elkhart. The severest penalty the law can inflict is far too mild to fit their cases. Some times banks are wrecked by the inca paclty of officials, or through their in ability to say no to importuning friends or patrons who seek loans on securities of doubtful value. While the results in such cases are none the less unfortunate because the ruin wrought is not premeditated, one can feel some degree of pity for those who work the ruin as well as those who suffer in consequence of it. But with the Elkhart bank wreckers the case Is altogether different. No highway man since the days of Dick. Turpin, nor bandit gang of the James Younger pattern, ever set about schemes of robbery with greater deliberation or more reckless disregard for possible consequences than did Collins, Brodrlck and Brown. To read the testi monv in the trial now in progress is to marvel at the hardihood of the three scoundrels, going in and out be fore teeir friends and neighbors, pas sing as honest men, working diligent ly to promote themselves in the confi dence of the community and thus in crease the bank's deposits, and all the time robbing the people right and left. As was said before, they de serve the law's limit, and the execu tive who pardons or in any way relieves them of any part of the penal ty for their crimes should be im peached and catalogued with them as a most stupendous scoundrel. Indianapolis Independents Letter to -the Public. TnouGnTFUL Reader: Let me press this question home to your consideration. Are such diseases as measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, small pox, typhoid fever, consumption or sickness of any kind whatever, desirable or undesirable in your family, your neighborhood or school district. You say that Is not a reasonable question, for no person desires a visi tation of sickness, and if these diseases come to us it is not a matter of our choice. Abundant proof from the best medical authority, gives me assurance to assert thamine-tenths of all sickness or disease is preventable. Pasteur, the greatest medical scientist and bacteriologist of the age has said that "It is possible to banish all infectious diseases from the earth," Dr. Vaughn of Michigan University, low famous, said before his class over thirty years ago in my hearing, "that not a single case of typhoid fever need be, If all lived under proper sanitary regulations. It is a preventable disease and for every death by typhoid fever some one ought to be hung." Äs a public health officer I am ve:y desirous to assist you, as individuals and communities, in preventing the advent of disease to your homes, and solicit your hearty cc-operation, not only because it Is my legal duty, but from a sense of public good. "Public health is public wealth." For this purpose, by the charitableness of vour county press, I shall offer a few practical suggestions on this line, which shall be, mainly, gleanings from the highest authority. 1 can obtain. , ' Respectfully, J. S. Martin, ' - Health Officer. The Passing of Steele. The last of the primaries in the Eleventh congressional district to select delegates to the congressional convention which convenes in Peru on the 29th Inst., was held in Wabash county Saturday. Trie contest for the nomination was between . Frederick Landis. of Cass, the present incumbent, and George W. Steele, of Grant, who was defeated for the nomination by Landis two years ago, after the most sensational congressional convention ever held In Indiana Landis has won, as horsemen say, "In a walk." Steele was nominated for congress in .the eleventh .district nine times and was elected eigtt times. He also served two years as governor of Oklahoma. " His defeat 07 Landis after the hardest fight of bis life, probably ends his official career. He would be In . better shape politically if he had known when he had enough. Teachers Association. The Northern Indiana Teachers' association meets at Winona, Ind., April 7, 8 and 9 It is one of the largest educational associations in the United States and has a membership of 3,000. The object of the association shall be to advance the Interests of education generally and especially to stimulate the teachers of northern Indiana to more advanced thought and greater activity. A good meetingIs expected. The principal instructors are Hon. George R. Wendling, Washington D. C; William Gurgess, D. D.; Chicago; W. W. Steton, Ph. D., Augusta, Me.; Wilher F. Gordy, A.

PARKS Rfc-NOMINATED

Wins Out on Second Ballot, at Etna Green Monday Afternoon. The republicans of Kosciusko and Marshall county met in delegate convention at Etna Green Mtniay afternoon. It was the largest and most enthusiastic senatorial convention ever held in the district. There were three candidates and a prolonged ontest was expected. , Kosciusko county had nineteen delegats and two candidates, John N Runyan and M. W. Summy. The thirteen delegates from Marshall county were solid for Senator Parks. The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock p. m. by Foster Groves, chairman of Marshall county, and Hon. L. W. Royse, of Warsaw, was made permanent chairmaa and delivered a short but eloquent address which elicited great applause. The first ballot resulted as follows: Parks 13, Runyan 11 4-10, Summy 7 6-10. The second ballot gave Parks 16 4 5, Runyan 12 7-20, Summy 1 19-20 Brubaker 19-20. Senator Parks having received a majority of all the votes cast was declared the unanimous choice of the convention. The announcement was greeted with cheers from both counties and Mr. Parks thanked the convention in an appropriate speech. Fatal Accident at Culver. Clyde Combs, a young man about 25 years of age, one of the proprietors of the Culver Grist mill, was accidently shot Saturday afternoon, death resulting in a few hours. Combs and a companion had rowed to the south end of the lake after ducks, and as the boat struck the shore, Combs leaped to the land, dragging his gun. by the barrel, after him. 'The hammer caught on the side of the boat and was partially raised but not far enough to completely cock it. Whed released the gun was discharged, the heavy load of No. 5 shot entering his side, ranging upward. He was brought across the lake to Dr. Wiseman's office, where anaesthetics were administered and efforts made to stop the flow of blood. He was later removed to his home where he died about 7 o'clock. Combs came to Culver about Feb. 1 and took charge of the old Kaley mill and after much bad luck seemed to have things in good shape when ho met his death. He was married and leaves a wife and one child. The re mains ver2 taken to his old home at Leiters Ford Sunday for interment. Stolls Opinion of Anarchists, John Turner, the English anarchist who still lingers in .this country, deli verinsr speeches in localities infested by. people of his way of thinking, is resisting with vim and energy the decree for his deportation to where he came from.- Hf, is aided by a number orAmericans, some of them men of prominence in New York city. They do not deny thai the language of the law warrants Turner's deportation, but tbey say the law is unconstitution al. They say that Turner is merely a "philosophical anarchist, not a criminal," and that the law is an attempt to suppress the free exercise of speech, and to punish a man for holding ab stract opinions which are not in themselves criminal. This Is poppycock talk. We don't want anarchists of any type or species in this country, whether "philosophical" or criminal. There is no room here for that sort of vermin. South Bend Times. Will Make No More MistaXcs. Says the Memphis Commercial Ap peal: "Cleveland carried Indiana both in 1884 and 1892." , Please don't rub It in. Indiana learned something she'll never forget In those years. She retrieved herself in 1896 and 1900, and starts in on 1904 with a clear record and-a resolve to make no more mistakes.

ALLEGED BANK WRECKER

Walter Brown Must Explain His Connection With Collapse of Ihe Elkhart Bank. The trial of Walter Brown, of Elkhart is now gn in the Federal court at Indianapolis. He is charged with aiding Justus L. Brodrick, president, and W. L.Collins, cashier of the wrecked Indiana National Bank of Elkhart. District Attorney Kealing spent two hours telling the jurors what the prosecution proposed to show. He said that the prosecution would show that Brown not only aided and atetted in the mismanagement of funds, but that the man induced officers of the bank to make gigantic loans to the National Manufacturing Company, Consolidated Paper and Bag Company and Diamond Type Foundry, which firms Brown managed and controlled. He said that the prosecution would show that these three firms alone had received from the. bank an aggregate of $220,988,86 when they had not had a cent on deposst in the bank. He said he would show that Brown, although not a director or officer of the bank, took an active part In the management of the institution and that he himself borrowed from $40,000 to $60,000. Further Kealing said the prosecution would show that Brown presented the notes signed by B. M. Tousley, M. Alford and others, who owned no- property, at the bank, and took away their value In money, although the. notes represented nothing. Remember This.
