Eit&blUhed October 13, 1901. Oalj Republican Newspaper In the Couty. HENDRICKS & QILLESPIE, PVBLISSSSS.1 OFi'ICE-BIssell Building, Corner LaPorte ai d Center Streets. Telephone No. 27. Entered at the post-office at Plymouth, ndina, as second-class mail matter. Plymouth. Ind.. March 2. 1905. . Senator Morgan blocks the statehood bill in the Senate, admitting his purpose to kill the measure. The Czar's salary is $7,500,000 a year and yet there is scarcely ary one who would take his job. Secretary Shaw recommends that the treasury vaults have alarms. They should be so arranged to go off whenever a supply bill is introduced in Congress. The Philadelphia Record says: "Women are the most persistent bargain hunters' Having had to give up man hunting bargains are the only game left them. State department, at the suggestion of Guatemala, notifies the department of Justice of an alleged filibustering expedition being formed at Mobile, Ala. Senate inter state commerce com mittee agrees to report a resolution to sit during the recess and take testi-nionj-for the purpose of preparing a measure for regulating railroad rates. Walter Wellman says congressmen have formed a combir.e for a "pork' raid in the shap; of a public building bill to be rushed through as the ses sion closes. Speaker Cannon is making a hard fight for economy. Representative Vandiver, of Missouri introduces a resolution charging that the Carnegie and tBethlehem companies have formed an armor plate trust, and asking tne Attorney General for information regarding prosecutions. The Wisconsin as?mbly is consid:ng a bill to impose a tax of five dol la: s a head for bachelors. The amount of the tax insures that no bachelor will marry to escape the tax. At least those who have talked with their married friends on the cost of a mod ern wife will not. In the memorial speech on McKin ley, Secretary Hay said: "Our his tory shows how surely an Executive courts disaster and ruin by assuming an attitude of hostility or distrust to the Legislature." And yet Mr. Hay did not prevent the President's letter to Senator Cullom on the arbitration treates. Whatever happens to the Wabash Warsaw interurban line, which will connect Logansport with Winona, its extension will be built. Harry Dickey, manager cf the proposed Warsaw Goshen electric line, says that grading for the tracks will be commenced as soon as the weather will permit. A constructing engineer is now in the East purchasing materials for the road, and an army of men will be put to; work building the road and power houses within a short time. A, I. Honon, of Elkhart, Ind., says the Niles, Michigan Star, is the dis coverer of an absorbent remedy for appendicitis. By its use there is no need of an operation for this dreadful ailment. The remedy is no longer an- experiment for Mr. Horton has many splendid testimonials. Phy sicians are closely watching results obtained from the use of the remedy, and they marvel at its simplicity. All that is necessary is to rub the absorbant on the parts affected, and a cure is ccrta n in three days. There is probably no place on earth better than a country -newspaper office to learn how many kinds of people there are. Some get huffy if a statement is sent, others will not pay until they receive a statement. Some will pay withot t a statement and others won't pay whether a statement is sent or not. Some thought they owed more and some thought they didn't owe so much. Some say they couldn't get along without the paper, and others say it doesn't amount to much. But the meanest, scrubbiest in the list is the man who takes it until he is just shut off for non-payment and then spends all of his time explaining how he used to take "the thing" but stopped because it was "no 'count." The little town of'Brookville is famous as the home of men who have made a name in the world. Besides Gen. Wallace and his father, there were Charles H. Test, for years a distinguished jurist; James Lane, the erratic United States Senator from Kansas in the "bleeding Kansas" period; Hiram Powers, the famous sculptor, who gave to the world the Greek Slave; James B. Eads, who built the great bridge of St. Louis and the Mississippi river jetties at New Orleans; Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, who became Governor of Rhode Island after the war closed, and later was United States Senator; Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sierras; James N. Tyner, Postmaster General; Thomas Noble, United States Senator; his brother, Noah Noble, who became Governor of Indiana; John A. Matson and his son, Courtlnnd C. Matsoii, both of whom were candidates fcr governor and both met defeat and Will Cumback, once the caucus nominee for United tat?s Senator. .

The Illinois legislature performed a splendid service to the people" in flipping the claws of the wild t at insurance companies of that state.

Senator Depew, of New York says the bill for regulating railroad rates, as prepared by Hons. J. J. Esch, of Wisconsin and Chas. E. Townsend, of Michigan, shows evidence of lack of judgment in those men for such legislation. When a railroad man like Depew criticises a railroad bill, it is safe to accept it as being a good bill for the people. It is not improbable that there may be more than one state oil refinery. They are not to be desired, but the Standard Oil Company may force them. If competition is to be had in no other way it is bound to come through state legislation. And from this step the next one is to state control of public utilities and too short a step to be looked upon with complacency by a great many people. The dispatches say that the Republicans of Ohio are just now wasting a goo d deal of time in an effort to determine which of their favorite sons they shall support for the presidency in 190S. Inasmuch as they will vote for a Hoosier candidate when the time comes around, we don't see why they should be giving so much attention to the question, unless perchance they look upon the matter as mere pastime. Attention is called to the necessity of filing mortgage exemption papers during the month of March and April. Under the present law those who have mortgages on their property may escape paying taxes on that amount of mony by Illing .lttmcnt with the county auditor. Th; hw is now thoroughly undv-o i :md js t result there are few who are entitled to the privilege who do not take advantage of it. An exchange says: "Limburger cheese laid away in cupboards will drive away ants." Verily I say unto you. it will drive dogs-out of a tanyard; it will drive buzzards away from a carcass; it will drive a herd of buffalo through a barb wire fence; it will drive men crazy if compelled to staywithin 20 feet of its pointed presence. Indeed it will drive away ants and uncles too, and mothers and fathers, brothers, siters and grandmothers, even to the seventh generation ; still some there are who claim to like Lim burger. Elkhart is to have a Chautauqua assembly this summer. Elkhart citizens have subscribed for sixty shares of stock at $100 per share. The Slayton Lyceum bureau, which will dc tht booking, has taken the remaining forty shares at $100 per share. The first assembly will be held at Highland park August 27 to September 4 a session of eleven .days.. The park of thirty acres will be fenced in by using a woven wire fence. An immense tent will serve as headquarters for the meeting and a dining hall will also be under canvass. Even with the most stringent laws that it is possible to devise how is it possible to. prevent a railroad company making it profitable for John Smith to ship his freight of any sort, by a certain route? Admit that he pays out so many dollars,- just as many as his competitor; admit that he takes a receipt for it, and that on the face of things no discrimination is made in his favor by the railroad company, what is to prevent this same railroad company in any one of numerous devious ways from secretly adding to the bank account of this same John Smith? Let this be considered lest we expect too much from legislation establishing commissions and clothing them with certain technical powers. Gocd Advice. "The prime thing that every man who takes an interest in politics should remember that he should act and not merely criticise .the action of others. It is not the man who sits up by his fireside reading the evening paper and saying how bad our politics and politicians are, who will ever do anything to save us; it is the man who goes out in the rough hurly burley of the caucus, the primary, and the political meeting, and there faces his fellows on equal terms, undeterred by the blood and sweat." Theodore Roosevelt. Indiana Appointments. Rankin C. Walkup will be appointed postmaster at Crawfordsille, Ind., on recommendation of Congressman Landis. Congressman Brick has announced the following postofhee apointments Plymouth, J. A. Yockey; Milford, William B. Burris; Claypool, John M. Brown. W. F. Stutz, of Fort Wayne, who is attending l'urdue University, has been appointed a teacher in the Phillpines. The war department will allow him to finish his course at Purdue before being required to report for duty. Collects Cash to Defend Powers. Representative Frederick Landis is attracting attention in Washington by his efforts to raise money to defray the expense of a fourth trial for Caleb Powers, now in a Kentucky penitentiar for complicity in the murder ot Gov. William Goebel. Landis is of the firm belief that Powers is innocent, having arrived at that conclusion after a thorough investigation. He may appear as one of the attorneys for the defense of the Kentuckian in the event that he is given another triaL The only persons who are asked to contribute to the fund are the members of the Indiana delegation in congress. Many members oi the delegation are of the opinion th Powers will be cleared.

Monnett to Fight Standard. --Topeka' Kan., Feb. 24. Former' Attorney-General Frank S. Monnett, of Ohio, a democrat, who has long fought tfie Standard Oil ' company; has been employed by the Kansas Oil Producers' Association to assist in the fight against the Standard. He will arrive in Kansas City Tuestlay, and officers of the association will meet him there for fccnsultation. Monnett has the reputation out here of having made a strong fight against the Standard in Ohio and the producers want to gain the benefit of his experience. It is also stated that Congressman W. R. Hearst is going to send to the scene the lawyer who represented him in his fight against the anthracite coal trust. Carry Petition to Free John Godfroy. Ft. Wayne, Ind., Feb. 2S. Seven of the jury which convicted John Godfroy Jr- of manslaughter ten days ago have already signed a petition for his pardon. Juror Walter Hobson has written a sworn statement that six of the jury never believed Godfroy guilty and do not believe so now. They claim the verdict was a mistake. The general petitions for a pardon were last week signed by 90 per cent of the shop men of Fort Wayne. The members of the jury are circulating these petitions in the county. At least 5,000 names have already been signed. Business and profession al men will sign this week. Skaters Found Dead Body in the Ice. Mishawaka, Ind., Feb. 23. The mystery surrounding Henry Miller's disappearance was solved yesterday when his body wis found in the river by skaters. The body which was removed by the police, is in an excellent state of preservation. The deceased was an old and wealthy resident of this city and it is believed that death was accidental.

Women Abandon an Infant. Valparaiso, Ind., Feb. 27. Last Friday night a baby boy about two weeks old was found on the porch of Stover Hicks, a prominent business man. The baby was in a telescope and was wrapped up in rich garments. Two well-dressed women, who came from Chicago, were seen getting off of an early evening train and it is believed they brought the baby here and abandoned it. Officers are working on the case. First Death Sentence in Lake County. The verdict of death returned against Eward Donahue by the Lake county jury is thefirst death sente ice ever spread on the records of Lake county since its organization. The jury has partially made amends for some of the loose criminal work done in that county heretofore. Although the court room contained many women when the verdict was returned no sympathy was expressed for the doomed man. Five Cents and Three Cents. The Wabash Stock Farm company, one of Solomon Godman's famous credit-making concerns, which went to the wall in 1903 with over $100,000 liabilities and nominally $30,000 assets, will pay a fraction less than 5 cents on the dollar. Godman's Wabash Bridge Company,, with $300,000 indebtedness, and his stock farm company were practically conducted on the credit basis, and the indorsement of the latter for the bridge company wrecked it. Trustee Stewart says the first and final distribution will be March 15. The bridge company will be settled up about the same time and will pay 3 cents on the dollar. Walter S. Bend, receiver of the Star Manufacturing company, which failed last year, closed his trust. The debts were $13,000. Preferred claims aggregating $4,000 have been paid in full, while $9,000 unsecured claims receive 23 cents on the dollar. The Saturday Club. The Saturday club held a very interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. C. E. Toan last Saturday afternoon. The feature of the meeting was a paper entitled: "The Rhine, its Castles and Legends,", which was read by Mrs. Helpman, of Warsaw, when was highly appreciated. A large number of the members were in attendance and pronounced it one of the best meetings of the season. Donahue Guilty. Crown Point, Ind., Feb. 24. "We the jury find Edward Donahue guilty of murder in the first degree and fix his punishment at death.'' Such was the verdict brought into court at f' o'clock this morning in the case of Edward. Donahue. The twelve men had found him guilty of the murder of Armiter Northrup of Benton Harbor and alter eight hours deliberation agreed upon the death penalty. The fate of Donahue was placed in the . hands of the jury at 6 o clock last evening. At no time was there any question in the minds of the jury as to the guilt of the de fendant, but the twelve men wanted to weigh the evidence carefully and they went over all the points in the case as adduced both by the state and thedefense. This task they had not completed at midnight and Judge McJlahon finding how the jury was proceeding instructed them to go to bed and resume their deliberations this morning. This the jury did arising at 7 o'clock and coming to an agreement quickly. Being Tried for Murder Committed 22 Years Ago. Columbus, Ind., Feb. 27. Owing to the many cases that were on the docket for the February term, 'the Brown county court was in session until 11 o clock at Nashville Thursday night. The case, an unusual one, is of the state against Edwin Hardin, who is charged with having murdered William Kelley twenty-two years ago. Kelley was walking in his melon palch, where he had gone to see who was stealing the fruit, when he was shot. At the time Hardin and son Edwin were arrested and charged with the crime. The. elder Hardin was tried. and as no evidence could be secured against him he was acquitted, and the case against his son, who was then a lad, was dismissed. Nothing more was thought of the case until three months ago, after twenty-two years, Edwin Hardin was arrested on a Grand Jury indictment, it having been said that he boasted of having known who killed Kelley. He was arested and his trial began last week. Another strange feature of the case is that while he is in the hands of the law, he leaves the little log jail when he pleases and spends his Sundays at home with his family, four miles from Nashville.
