Frank K. Leonard, who has been acting as deputy county surveyor during his vacation, returns to his work at Purdue University Monday, September 10. Many farmers from Porter county and the south part of Laporte county have changed cars in Plymouth this week on their way to the state fair at Indianapolis. The country school houses will probably open under the spelling reform rule with the prize winners in spelling matches among the boys now at the foot of the classes. The Laporte fair as an agricultural exhibition, was pronounced a failure by all who attended, but the weather and the races were good and shows and fakirs were numerous. Mr. and Mrs. James A.

The time honored scarlet is to take a back scat fo; the pure and unadulterated tinge supplied by nature. This is the dictum of the state board of

health. Mr. Oden P. Caslow and Miss Nellie Roberts were licensed to marry by County Clerk Jones Tuesday September 11. . The bride is the daughter of Henry Roberts, residing southeast of this city and both are among Marshall county's best and most popular young people . Joseph Hendricks who has been employed for several months in the big automobile factory at Flint, Mich., is home for a visit of a week. He says he has been working ten to fourteen hours every day, but he never looked heartier and stronger than now. The man picked up Sunday night and taken to the county farm Tuesday told Superintendent Kruyer that his name is David McMahon, but the name of C. Eckleston was found on the inside of both sleeves of his coat and he has evidently escaped from some insane hospital. According to statistics issued by the clerk of the St. Joseph circuit court the number of divorces and applications for divorce show a decrease ov.er last year. This indeed is very encouraging, but as 117 petitions for legal separation have been entere ' thus far in 1000, it would seen that there is still room for improvement. While we are rather used to revolutions and rumors of rcvo lutions in Central and South America, it must be admitted that this season's outbreak crop is unusally large. With dubious reKrts from Mexico and preparations for five revolts in Centra American republics we can only expect the worst from the countries farther south. The Christian people of Marshall county will have a county meeting and first anniversary dedication of their cement stone church at Plymouth Sunday, Sept. 23, morning, afternoon and evening. State Evangelist T, J. Legg of Indianapolis and President II. B. Brum of the Valparaiso university, will speak at each service and in the afternoon the different ministers of the city will take part. Special instrumental and vocal music will be given. A large attendance from Marshall and other counties will be expected.

Attorneys Martindale and Stevens are both busy with legal work in Bourbon township this week. Robert Eugene Turner, aged 18, of Norfolk, Va., has just been granted a patent on an automatic carriage return for typewriters that skilled mechanics have tried to invent for years. The mechanism causes the carriage to return to the initial writing point automatically when the end of the writing line is reached. James R. Door, of Elkhart county, who placed numerous bombs under the earth on his farm where he supposed the right-of-way of a proposed electric line would traverse, was found insane on Tuesday by several commissioners chosen v Devor himself. A peculiar phase of the finding is that Devor is conscious of Iiis mental derangement and anxious to go to Long cliff where he states he will be free from trouble and worry.

Valuable "Peat" Beds. The most valuable "peat" beds to be fotind in Northern Indiana are in the Tamarack marsh just north of Milford on a farm owned by Mrs Catharine Rodibaugh of Milford. This statement wa. made by the state geologist after he had spent an entire day last week investigating the marsh. He pronounced the quality of the peat the finest in this region. It is free from gravel and of seemingly unlimited quantity. The marsh covers about thirty acres and the peat bogs are found in all parts. ; v Band Concert Program, Thursday Evening, Sept. 13, 1906.

William Jennings Bryan gave out a statement at Lincoln, Nebraska, Monday, in which he said: "The election in Nebraska is not only important because of its bearings on state matters, but also because of its influence on the, nest national campaign. The vote this year will be taken as an indication of the trend of public sentiment. We are entering upon a great fight for the extermination of the trusts and the protection of the public from exploitation at the hands of the railroads. The Republican party has shown its inability to deal effectively with these and kindred subjects Wherever the president has attempted to , do anything he has been compelled to follow th; Democratic rather than the Republican platform and the Republicans in congress have nor supported him. The Republican senate emasculated his rate bill and a Republican congress opposed his meat inspection bill. "The best way to stand by the president is to elect Democrats to congress, for the Democrats have stood by him better than the Republicans have on the most important questions." . The Result in Maine. The principal lesson of the Maine election, as of the election in Oregon and Vermont, seems to be the nonappearance o? the Democratic landslide which was to overcome the Repub;'can majority in Congress. So far there is no indication of Democratic gains on national issues. The people are standing by President Roosevelt and the record of the Republican Congress. The issue in Maine was prohibition. Democrats, occupy-ng their immemorial attitude toward the liquor traffic, sought to take advantage of the well-known disaffection with the State's prohibition system. Money poured in from the liquor interests of the Nation, and doubtless had its effect. But with this corruption fund on one side and the moral and religious forces holding daily prayer meetings on the other side, there was hardly more than one choice, even for those who under other circumstances mi slit like to supersede prohibition with high license. Indianapolis Star. Invention Brings Fortune. From the position of a firennn on a railroad, receiving a salary of $G0 a month, the possessor of a patent on a steani turbine engine for whic he received $1)75,000 from ftne Trans-Atlantic Steamship company is the remarkable change made in the. position of James F. Devlin, a fireman employed by the Northwestern railroad running out of Escanaba. 1 A draft for $975,000 was turned over to Devlin by Attorney A. L. Walch of Lawson, Walch & Lawson, of New York, who purchased' the patent for the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. An aggreement was also signed by Devlin by which he will receive $100 a day for 50 days to superintend the construction of the first engine. Devlin has been employed as a fireman on the peninsula division for eight years and three years were spent in completing the invention. Devlin is 31 years of age.

TAFT ON TRUSTS.

War Secretary Outlines Policy of the Administration. William H. Taft, secretary of war of the United States, Wed nesday night delivered one of the most powerful speeches heard in Maine during the present campaign. The secretary told how Prcsi dent Roosevelt, aided by a Republican congress, had effectively placed a curb on the illegal operations of the so-called trusts and said the administration would continue action in this line. He urged the people to return a Republican house to con gress so that the policies of the president may successfully be carried out. He gave in detail the policy of President Roosevelt and showed clearly how the Democratic minority in congress had attempted repeatedly, though unsuccessfully, to obstruct the president's plans. He said President Roosevelt was the issue in this campaign, not in what he has said but what he has done and what the party has upheld him in. doing. He said a change in the business conditions of the country, in his opinion, had made it wise and just to revise the schedules of the existing tariff. The sentiment in favor of revision is growing in the Republican party and in the near future, he said. the members of the party will doubtless be able to agree on a reasonable plan. He paid his respects to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who organized the fight now being made on Congressman Lit tlefield. After reviewing the pro visions ot the injunction bill which caused the opposition of labor to Mr. Littlefield and Speaker Cannon Mr. Tafi aid that if the bill urged by Gompers was to become a law it would make a privileged class of laborers who break the law by injuring others and would givj them immunity from an effective remedy that lawbreakers of no other class enjoy. Secretary Taft in strong words referred the evils arising from the misuse and abuse of the powerful instrumentalities which the free oportunity to organize and combine capital has placed ',in the hands of the comparative ly few. These evils have become so widespread, Secretary Taft said, that the public demanded remedies by legislation to restrain them and to regulate and supervise more carefully in future the exercises of the mighty means of good and evil which organized capital has proved to be. The Republican party through President Roosevelt, said - Mr. Taft, responded to the demand of the public and effective measures have been taken, to be followed later by a similar action which will effectively curb the illegal operations of the so-called trusts. It is President Roosevelt's policy, said Mr. Taft, to secure by national legislation and executive action effective control of those who manage and operate organized capital so as to prevent them by the misuse of the , powerful instrumentalities that organization of capital affords from unlawfully suppressing competition, establishing monopolies and thereby making impossible the benefit from such organization of capital of a reduction of prices and an increase of conveniences which otherwise would and ought to inure to the public. Government Ownership. The New York Times, a Democratic paper, on Monday printed the following in an editorial in regard to William Jennings Bryan and his theory of government ownership of railroads: "In a country like Germany, with 35,000 miles of railroads, or in France, with 20,000 miles, the fiscal problems involved, in government ownership and operation are not of dominant importnce. With our 212,000 miles of railroads it is different. The undertaking is too big to be entered upon in gayety of heart and lightness of head. Mr. Bryan will find that it is too big when he sits down to elaborate his plan and favor the public with details. In fact, the submission of his theories to serious practical examination is a superflous task. They are so visionary and so wild, they lie so far outside the domain of the rational and the attainable, and they are so absolutely certain of overwhelming rejection by the people of the United States, that his continued presentation and adovcacy of them are interesting mainly because of their effect upon his political fortunes. It has been the belief of many wise observers of American politics that the nomination in 1008 of Mr. Bryan, with his great popularity, would compel the Republicans to nominate Mr. Roosevelt as his oponcnt, it being supposed that under the compulsion of the partys need to put forward its strongest man he would reconsider his expressed determination not to run again. We are of the opinion that Mr. Bryan's Madison Square Garden escapade leaves the Republicans free to respect Mr. Roosevelt's wish, and to select as their candidate some other man. It also forces the Democrats, if they would escape annihilation, to. choose some other candidate than Mr. Bryan.,

Pitman on New Spelling. When Ben Pitman, brother of Sir Isaac Pitman, the father of phonography and himself a writer on phonography, heard that President Roosevelt had given indorsement to simplified spelling he was delighted, says a Cincinnati dispatch to the New York Times. He rapped his fist on the desk and said: "I am pleased. I knew it would come. It may take a century. You cannot change the system, or, rather, lack of system, in a day. For years I have work ed on a new alphabet. I would eliminate the letters c, q and x. They are entirely superflous. I would eliminate the dot over the i and j and use the dot over thevowels a, e, i,o and u to indicate when they are long. Then when the child saw the word 'pet he would pronounce the e short because there is no dot over it. When he saw the word 'pate' he would know that the a is long, for a dot is over it. "Do you know that the twenty-six letters of the alphabet may be used C5S ways; hence the chance of your pronouncing a strange word is in the ratio of C58 to 2G, pretty long odds. The perfect alphabet that I have devised contains forty letters, but twenty-three will answer. However, the solution of the spelling problem is found in the el'mination of c, q and x and the new use of the dot, as I have described. "The sound of s is obtained m nineteen different wrays. Which one will the child choose? I

would spell 'cough' 'kof.' The pronounciation could not be wrong, for there is no dot over the o to denote that it is anv thing but short. Where c is soft s may be used; where it is hard k will do, and k will invariablv do for q. To Oppose Crumpacker. The Gary Indianian, edited b) a Republican,, and which evident ly speaks by authority, publishes this interesting bit of 'apparently well-founded political gossip. The story that the Democrats and labor element had combined to defeat Congressman Crumpacker is verified by the assertion of President Gompers of the Federation of Labor, who has labeled Mr. Crumpacker hostile to the labor interests. Additional verification is obtained from the information that the friends of Judge Darroch have lately been unusually active in labor circles and have formed combinations of great assistance to their candidate. No route has been overlooked that will make the path a hard one for the present incum bent and all doubtful interests are . being arrayed against him. The labor vote in the Tenth district is strong and its otTcct is appreciated on any side. President Gompers agents are scanning the list, figuring on the chances, and if the reports are satisfactory a fierce hatt e can be expected from the combination. What effect it will have on Crumpacker's chances for re-cl ection is uncertain but will be unfolded during the progress of the campaign. The Month of August. August of lifOG, memorable month of a memorable year, will be printed in red letters in the calendar of every American far mer. It has surpassed all its pre decessors as a perfecter and finisher. The splendid rains with which it was ushered in and which covered practically our whole agricultural area, taken in connection with the steadily dif fused heat, made the season ideal. Nothing better could be - asked, nothing finer expected. A great wheat crop had already been garnered, an abundant supply of fruits was in sight, the meadows were satisfactory, the small grains ample and to crown it all August made sure such a growth of corn as has seldom been seen in the matchless valley of the Mississippi. We are to have an other year of great abundance, of peace and plenty, of abounding prosperity, of increasing farm values and wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. There will be millions of smiling farm faces; there will be thousands of happy farm homes. The foreign trade that already astonishes the world will grow still larger, for the American farmer will have en ough and to spare. Fraud in Alfalfa Seed. In accordance with an act of coneress. the agricultural department has obtained and test ed seed of alfalfa from various dealers throughout the country and published a list of those firms whose product was foiind to be adulterated. In all 352 samples were exam ined. Of these 1C0 were found to contain seed of the destructive parasitic plant order, nine adulterated -with seed of yellow tre foil and nine aduterated with burclovcr.

BUSSARD, Agent Van R R. Plymouth, Ind. i The Cuban Revolution. The sensational events of the! last few days in Cuba, particularly the action of President Pahna in suspending the constitutional guaranties, and ordering the arrest of all liberal leaders, have roused the officials of the United States army and navy departments to be prepared for any contingencies that may arise. While it is the expressed intention of the administration to avoid intervention inider the Piatt amendment unless such a step should become absolutely necessary the government is making every preparation to be ready if called upon. One step in this direction was the hasty ordering of the cruiser Des Moines to Key West, where she will be within a few hours sail of Havana in case of need. That the critical situation in Cuba is absorbing the attention of the administration to the exclusion of all other foreign topics is indicated by the activity of the officials in the state, navy and war departments. The president at Oyster Pay is keeping in close touch with every development of the revolutionary, movement in Cuba and is in constant commu nication by wire with the officials at Washington, who are in receipt of detailed instructions from him as to what they shall do. The prime object of the ad ministration at present is to get at the facts, which is no easy tak in view of the mass of indefinite statements that -emanate trom various quarters. The Era of the Young. The present is certainly the "Era of the Young." The world has seen the "stone age, "'the dark age' "the age of iron," and now comes the "Age of Youth." On.l sides we see the comparatively young forging to the front, and forcing themselves into places where a few years ago it was thought could alone be fil'ed by their elders; in fact, it is an open question whether a young man is not ot age-at 1. lie is as able to cope with the world at that age as his grandfather was at 21. The stage may be taken in point. Recently one of New Yorks principal theatres was occupied by a play in which the leading role was played bv a child, Little Hazel Shannon.

Collins, filed a suit in the Marshall county circuit court against Leonora and Rudolph Kloepfer for $13,500.. The filing of this is a sequel to a case that was originally brought in the Laporte circuit court many years ago. One day Miss Agnes Phillips of Michigan City, fell on a defective sidewalk in front of the Kloepfer building in Michigan City and suffered permanent injuries. She brought suit against the city of Michigan City for $20,000. The case was taken to St. Joseph county on a change of venue and a judgment in the sum of $10,000 obtained. An appeal to the supreme court followed. In the higher corrt the judgment of the lower court was affirmed kand later the City of Michigan City was forced to pay the judgment with interest, the whole sum being nearly 12.000. Altogether the case, in costs, attorneys' fees, etc, has run up to over $15,000. The cit is now endeavoring to secure judgment against the owners of the. bidding for what the accident cost them and interest thereon. .The defendants are residues of Plymouth ,which accounts for the riling of the suit in Marshall county.
