Brooke for twenty years connected with the Plymouth Republican and for many years its editor, congratulates the Tribune for the fight it has made against the organized ring of bolters and expresses the opinion that we will win out and save the Republican party of Marshall county. Mr. Brooke writes that he and his family

are well,, happy and prosperous in Salt Lake city. Because Mahlon Metzger, of Mentone, wrote to the postmaster of a small town in Kansas and told him that John Blue, who had removed to that place from Mentone, was' a "dead beat," Blue is asking $2,000 damages for slander and on Thursday filed a complaint in the Kosciusko circuit court. Both of the interested parties now reside near Mentone, and Blue alleges that he has ben injured to the extent of $2,000 by the letter written by Metzger. A boiler explosion occurred at the Smith Cane mill at' Mentone Thursday morning at lb o'clock, but fortunately no one was injured.

Mr. Clemmer lives between twenty and thirty rods north of the mill. Hearst in Indiana. Louis Ludlow says William R Hearst will soon pen political head quarters in Indianapolis and the fight to wrest Indiana from the con trol of the bosses and to capture it for Hearst will then begin in earne-1 Richard M. Isherwooc' of Delphi will move down to Indianapolis, take charge of headquarters and direct the battle that is to be waged in the Hoosier state in behalf of Hears: and reform. The headquarters will be maintained in the name of the Independence League. Mr. , Isherwood. has been employed to repre sent the Hearst interests generally in Indiana and he will be a very active man from now on. He is in constant touch with Hearst and the latter's managers and, judging from the ex tensive preparations that are on foot. Tom Taggart and his followers will have to watch out or the Hearst, goblin wil be sure to get them. Once before William R. Hearst had political headquarters in Indianapolis. That was during the spring and the early summer of 1904, when he was trying to secure a delegation from Indiana to the Democratic na tional convention. His headquarters that year was in a palatial suite ot rooms in the Claypool Hotel. He spared no money or any other mean to secure success and there was con stantly about the headquarters a r.t inue of hangers-on who had read about the "Hearst barrel' and were anxious to tap it. The Hearst campaign that year was conducted on a scale of magn'fi cence. Ex-at;ditor of State J. O Henderson, one of the best -known and most highly esteemed Demo cratic politicians in Indiana, was then the general manager of the Hearst interests in this State and Mr. Isherwood was his first lieutenant. Mr. Henderson is no longer an active Hearst man, and Mr. Isher wood, who enjoys the personal ac quaintance and confidence of Mr. Hearst, has taken Henderson's place at the helm. He has not decided in what Indianapolis hotel or building he will open headquarters, but it i safe to say that he will not be ham pered by any lack of funds, either in the selection of the apartments or the employment of assistants tr help to advance the Hearst propaganda. Two years ago Hearst had the old-line Democratic politicians in Indiana by the ears and he prob ably will give them something to think about when he gets his new Indiana organization in working or der. Reward Goes to Depositors The Chicago Clearing House Asso ciation Tuesday sent to James Keeley, managing editor of the Chicago Tribune, a check for 5,00n, '.ho amount of the reward offered by the association for the capture of Paul O.- Stenshnd, the former president of the Milwaukee Avenue Stare Bank, who WAU arrested in Tangier and who is nnw serving a sentence in the pen at Joliet. The check was by Ke'ey for the Tribune at once turned ove- to the receiver of the bank to be included among the assets and ultimately distributed among the depositors. In addition to sending this check to the receiver of the bank the Trib tine, which bore the entire expense incident to the pursuit, capture and return of Stensland, has made a pres ent to the taxpayers of Cook county of the total amount expended in the capture, which amounted to ' nearly $2,000.

Markets and Speculation.

The wheat market is feeling the effects of a dull and circumscribed speculation and is ruling heavy and weak, this something of aa argument why speculation should be fostered rather than discried.for upon the fi nancial success of producers general ly largely hinges the success of the country. It is true speculation possesses the elements of a gamble on futurity, but what is there in this life that is not a speculation on the fut ure? Life itself certainly is, else why should we care for futurity in a com mercial sense? Yet we all endeavor to lay up something for that "rainy day" that is in the future possible if not wholly probable. Criticise and deride speculation as much as we may, we must acknowledge it is fa concomitant of the world of the world worldly. Therefore, those who look upon speculation as gambling pure and simple must be credited with narrowness rather than broad ness in a conception of the real meaning of the word. There is no question whatever but if the specula tion in all the pits on 'change was active instead of dull we should haye not only better markets but better prices and we should all be the better off, for even a rabid speculation rare ly carries values exorbitantly high the old law of supply and demand as a value arbiter invariably steps in and asserts its supremacy we have evidence of this in the whitened bones scattered along the speculative shore of those who have in the past attempted to override the natural law of supply and demand in the reg ulation of values. So there eer ex ists a menace to the man or men vhn through speculative manipulation en deavor to create either low or high values as measured by suppli:s apd demands, this the safeguard of 'the avenge speculator. Then why should speculators, of which the world has many, be so conservative about speculating, more especially as it is true current prices can not be termed unreasonably high or low -i anything rather fair ones in all the pit? -Chi cago Chronicle. Secretary Taft, in Cuba. Secretary Taft returns from Cuba deserving of the thanks of all his country for his good work. Carrying out President Roosevelt's policy with tact and firmness, he has saved fuba from itself and he has saved s from Cuba. He has -made it possible for Cuba to make another try under good auspices and with added experience for sane self-government He has made it possible for us to do Cuba the greatest service without taking unnectsary burdens upon our own backs. - With Governor Magoon in Havana and with Secretary Taft continuing to give oversight from Washington there is no reason. why the jealousies and ambitions of the Cuban parties should not subside sufficiently within a few months to make possible fair elections. The Cubans know,' at any rate, that without fair elections they will not gain" back their government, and they know that Secretary Taft cannot be cajoled or deceived. Besides his executive work Secretary Taft has done his best to stimulate the substantial classes in Cuba which have always heretofore eschewed politics to change their attitude and tike a hand in the operation of the government. These classes have felt heretofore that it was to their interest to stand from under and let the factional disputes take their course, hoping in that way to suffer the least injury from them It wil mean much for tht future of Cuba if the secretary's advice is accepted and the government passes from the hands of the forces of disorder to the hands of the forces of order. Trade Pastors "Sight Unseen. , A prominent Methodist .church of St. Louis, and High-Street Methodist church, of Milncie, have exchanged pastors, "sight unseen." In two weeks the Rev., Marion Crawford, of St. Louis, comes to Muncie to take charge of the High-street congregation, and the Rev. DrE. B. Randle goes to St. Louis to assume the pastorate mzUe vacant by Mr. Crawford Neither the St. Louis nor the Muncie congregation has seen the.manwlio is to preach to it, both having accepted the recommendations that the ministers have been able to present. Dr. Randle, has been pastor of the Muncie church for nearly five years. The arrangement between him and Mr. Crawford was a personal affair, in which'' the congregations merely acquiesced. This condition is said to be unique in the history of Methodist churches, which usually are particular about first hearing a candidate for a pastorate before accepting him, unless the choice is made by the conference, when the congregation must accept any preacher who is sent. Dr. Randle's going is entirely of his own volition. His congregation, which is the second largest, in the United States, was anxious to keep him, but Dr. Randle said: "I have been here long enough. The church will profit, and po may I, by a change of pastors." Sam Jones. Sam Jones was one of the unique characters of America. Probably no man of his day affected so many of his fellow men in their habits of life as he, and no one can question that the results were widely beneficial. Indeed, there are not many Americans of any time who made such impress, though some, like John B. Cough, Peter Cartwright and others, may fairly be compared to him in the efr fects of their oratory. One may not think of Sam Jones as an orator, but he was one. And he was one in the truest sense of oratory, for his words and acts were all chosen with reference to the effect he desired to produce. Oratory that is not effective in producing the conviction desired by the speaker is not oratory at all. Indianapolis Star.

Admiral Evans on Heroes.

..M...ita iwuicy u. r,vans was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1863. He served in the civil war and in the war with Spain, and has been attached to the navy more than forty years. When a man has had such; an experience his reflections on "Heroism in the Navy" will naturally arouse much curiosity . What it will be inquired, were the acts that apealed to him as being heroic? and it is a signifi cant iact that most of those which he chronicled in the Sunday Maga zine of The Record-Herald were acts that have brought small reward either in money or glory. The con duct that made the deepest impres sion on his mind was that of Dr. Longstreet at the assault of Fort Fisher, and he tells his story as fol lows: As far as the eye could reach the dead and wounded lay upon the sand and those who had lost much blood cried out for water. Dr. Longstreet was trying to relieve this thirst by taking the canteens from the dead and pasing them around among the brave lads; but the bullets were sing ing around his head, and I begged him to lie down. He kept on at his work, and had just said, "We will have you all off the beach tonight,1 when a bullet struck him in the head killing him instantly. The admiral's comment is that when he thinks of Longstreet's con ititutional bravery, his sense of duty and manly courage in trying to jolly along his comrades who were half dead from their wounds, he feels that no braver man ever lived. "The help," he says, "which in a crisis like this was the first to come, the simple, kindly, quiet devotion to duty, looking back at it now, has im pressed me as the one thing of more value in the lesson of heroism than all the rest." It was undoubtedly an unconscious heroism that Longstreet showed, and it was of a kind fortunately, that is not peculiar ;to armies tor navies, but that is frequently noticed in civ il life. The heroes may not be threat ened with the bullets of an enemy as the doctor was, but, like him, they jolly others along, are actuated by a 'simple, kindly, quiet devotion tc duty" and are ready to sacrifice themselves as a matter of course They find many chances and take them, and die heroes as truly as though they had - volunteered for some conspicuous, service on "the field of battle. Record Herald. The Canal By Contract In digging the Panama canal the Government has decided to do as great private enterprises do when they have work of this kind, namely to intrust it to a competent contractor. Bids will be adverttised for and nobody barred. Any one in the world with a capital of $5,000,000 that can put up a forfeit of $200,000 and file a bond for $3,000,000 who will un dertake the work as a whole, can bid and the best bid will get the contract. This is the business like way of doing. Mr. Shonts. sets out at some length reasons why the con tract system is better han an under taking by the government in the un precedented industrial activity which makes competition so strong that the Government would be years in getting proper men, apd so forth and so on. All of which is not so much to the point. In no case can the government the State do work as well as it can hire it done. With us at least politics has so enervated public methods where it has not corrupted them that a private enterprise can do the same work in far less time and at far less cost. It is. a hard saying, but it is undeniably true and the reflection incidentally affords one of the most powerful arguments against government owner ship that can be made. It is to be noted consequently that the deter mination to dig the canal by contract is a blow at the socialistic "ownership" idea. Decision Favors Lawyer. Because a case is disposed of by agreement of parties without trial does not release a man from his ob ligation to pay his attorney, accord ing to a decision rendered by the appellate court. The decision was given in the case of John M. Bailey against Herman Cordes for the sum of $200 claimed to be due Bailey for acting as attorney for Cordes in a divorce suit. Mr. and Mrs. Cordes became rec onciled and the divorce suit was dismissed, whereupon Cordes, believing that Bailey had not earned the entire amount agreed upon, refused to pay it. The case was carried into the Marion superior court, whece judg ment was rendered for . Bailey. Cordes then apealed to the appellate court, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed on the ground that Bailey "rendered the services as he was called upon to do, and the fact that be did not, go into court, that the case was disposed of between the parties without trial, was presumptively to Cordes' advantage." Farmer Crushed to Death. While supervising the loading of gravel at a pit 2 miles north of Monticello, Wiliam Cowger, a prominent farmer of that locality, was caught by ?. caving in of a sand bank and crushed to death before he could be rescued by a fellow workman, who witnessed the accident. Cowger was 55 years old and leaves a widow and five children. The unfortunate man was buried under the sand only a few minutes, but was in a dying condition when uncovered. A Thrifty Woman. A special from Evansville says: Mrs. Polly Weed, six times a widow, was married here to William Baker, her seventh husband. She is 65 years old and Baker is 48 years old. They will live here. From her six previous marriages Mrs. Baker has acquired property valued at $25000.

STRIFE EVERYWHERE. Yet, Streaked With Blood, the World is Getting Better. The world is called upon to listen again to the harrowing tales of the murder of Jews in Russia, this old world that is entitled to peace; this old world whose every square fool of surface has been baptized with human blood, stands again with bowed head and listens to the shrieks and screams of the maimed and dying. How long, O Lord, is this thing to continue? Is there to be no end of strife? Is peace and love au irridescent dream, flashed through the brain only for the entertainment of the moment? Are men forever and a day, to tear and rend their fellows simply because of color or creed? Better a hundred times that we have one vast struggle, one gigantic butchery, and turn the world over to the conquer ing race after havnig annihilated ev ery other race, than that this thing go on from year to year. Can it be that, after all, civilization is a failure? He who taught the Golden rule knew not what he was saying? That God made the world and deserted it? Gloomy, you say? Yes, it is gloomy. But are not the moafiings of the stricken that reach us through these ten thousand miles of space gloomy? Are not the awful scenes, printed upon the mind's eye, of little children's sufferings. gloomy? Is not a funeral pyre in which are burning to death a hun dred men and women, gloomy? After these nineteen, hundred years of preaching and praying, is it a cheer ful thing to be told that a thousand innocent people innocent of all things save tliat they followed the law of nature, which says that kind shall beget kind is it a cheerful thing to know that in a "civilized' country a thousand human beings were shot and clubbed to death within one pleasant month? ' In the Congo country we have the bleeding stumps of arms showing what the white man has done to the natives in the way of punishment for not bringing in rubber. In this fair United States we have men shot down and hung because other men have committed crimes. In South Af rica we have a whole race of people killed and driven from their homes because of a few diamond mines. In Turkey and Bulgaria and such countries we have whole cities devastated because of superstition and we are today parleying with the sultan and begging him to receive our ambas sador upon terms of equality. In Russia, unspeakable Russia, we have the ground strewn with corpses be cause the tribe of people which gave he world its Christ, ask to be allow ed to live and breathe. Isn't it enough to produce a little gloom? But what of the future, you ask? Is there no hope? Yes, that is about all there is Hope. It is the same Hope seen by the three Wise Men who followed the Star. It is the same Hope that was given to the world nineteen hundred years ago. Perhaps it might riot be well to figure upon the progress so far made. and then to calculate how long it wir be until we have no more of thi blood-letting. It might dim Hone. The victory of the battle fought in the hearts of men cannot be deter mined in a day, nor in a thousand years. Slowly as it may seem. streaked with blood as it is, the world is getting better le us hope. We who are here today shall not live to see the end of strife, yrt by ur daily actions we may contribute to the Great Resnlt that looms up somewhere in the distance. Dayton News. The Wealth of Alaska. Alaska is an interesting region. In area she is twice as large as Texas, with California thrown in, but her resident population numbers only about 30,000,000, though in the sum mer she has from 10,000 to 20,000 more whites. In fur, fish and minerals she is rich. Since her annexation she has furnished $50,000,000 of furs, $00,000,000 of fish, and $70,000,000 of minerals, chiefly gold and silver. Her output of gold was $9,000,000 in 1904, was $16,000,000 in 1905, and will be fully $20,000,000 in $906. In gold production Alaska has far passed the Klondike and the rest of the Canadian region. A few years ago the Klondike and general Canadian country produced from $20,000000 to $25,000,000 of gold a year, but this had shrunk to $10,000,000 in 1905, and will probably be down to $8,000,000 in 1906.

Gambler to Turn Monk. After a career of ten years as actor, book agent, capper for gamblers and followers of the race track, Harry Monohan, known generally among the sporting fraternity throughout the middle West, has repented and decided to abandon that kind of a life. He will enter the monastery of the Trappist monks at Dubuque, la.. He will depart for Iowa Monday and it is his purpose to spend the remainder of his life in their cloister, where chastity and obedience ?.re enforced. Monahan was. born inNew York city thirty-three years ago and his parents were wealthy. He was graduated from a Catholic college and then took up the study of law, being admitted to practice in New York State. He came to Chicago eleven years ago and opened an -office on Dearborn street. He abandoned law six months later and formd the acquaintance of many followers of the races. He acquired wealth, but became reckless and lost heavily through wild plunges. Years ago he again became penniless and decided to follow the county fairs. He became a nervous wreck. He traveled throughout the midklle .West with gamblers and three years 'ago engaged in a shooting affray in Wisconsin for which he served six months in jail Trustees Want Ditch Law Chinked. Sixty-five trustees of the eleventh district, adopted resolutions favorinj change in th; ditch law, at their recent meeting held at Marion. They ask that the present school book law be repealed and that the dealer buy the books direct from the publisher aid release the trustees entirely fibm the book business. They derr and. that the ditch law be amended by substituting the name of the trustee instead of the surveyor in respect to posting notices, lettering contracts, reporting costs, apportioning assignments, making record and putting up notices and filing assessments with auditors. Tey further express themselves as in favor of the abolishment or amendment of the reform law as to the township affairs. Another Chronicle Lie. In regard to the suit begun against Election Commissioners Burkett and Jones to have the circuit court issue a mandate to put the bolters ticket cn the ballot under the emblem of the eagle, the Chronicle says: "It was necessary to begin this suit at the earliest possible time in order to have it tried and get a decision from the supreme court before elec tion." F. M. Burkett was appointed elec tion commissioner June 23, and the suit could have been commenced then, just as well as more than three months later. Why the Chronicle will lie persistently in the face of the records must seem disgusting to even its most abject followers. Glacier Active; A Llenace. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 16.
