A Congressman' Salary. When the members of congress a few days ago were stricken with'buck fever" on the question of raising their yearly salaries from $5U00 to $7500, a great many people were oi the opinion that they made a mistake .arguing that the office is one of such high honor that the pay should be larger. Let us see. A term in congress is of two years' duration. During that time the congressman probably spends nine months on his country's business. For these nine months he draws $10,000 in salary, $2400 for clerk hire, $250 for stationery, and whatever his mileage to and from Washington amounts to at ten cents a mile. Not counting his mileage, he receives about $45 a day during his actual working term. Then he doesn't allow his services to interfere with his business to any great extent, so it would seem to an unprejudiced observer that he is getting pretty good pay for his services afer all. It looks as though most any poor man could afford o take such a job, even if he did have to live in Washington, where rents and other expenses are high. It is extremely doubtful if one-half of the men sent to the lower house could make as much money in any other pursuit. In the upper home, of course it is different. Since the senate ha become known as a millionaire's club a majority of its members have enough money to keep the wolf from the door if they shouldn't get a cent from the government. All of them seek the office for the honor there is in it, and the question of salary should be the farthest from their

thoughts. Springfeld Gazette.

Hsndricks and Aspinall Resign. W. G. Hendricks and Dr. N. II. Aspinall, who were elected chairman and vice chairman of the Marshall county Republican central committee

j January 1.1, l'JOG, have sent in their

resignations. As the campaign is now over and there i no political work of any importance to be done before luos, which the committee will be called to do they decided to leave the work in the hands of the respective township committees to take such action as they deem best. All of the township committees

have been notified and Mr. Hendricks

and Dr. Aspina'l will now be work

ers in the ranks ready at all times to do everything in their power for the success of Republican principles in county, state and nation, and especially in Marshall county which can always be made Republican when Republicans work in harmony for the success of principles instead of for the success of individuals.

To End Cuban "Revolutions." It did not need Secretary Taft's report on the Cuban situation to convince most of us of one thing that we are likely to have an intervention job on our hands at more or less regular intervals until the end of time unless wc end the whole trouble by assuming final and complete authority over the islannd. This is not an agreeable conclusion, but it is an inevitable one. It is clear that whenever any party or faction in Cuba becomes dissatisfied with the administration in power it will simply organize a "revolution", begin burning chicken coops and thus compel United States interference. A provisional government will run th:ngs until the Cubans compose their differences; then the administration will be turned over to a new Cubin government, which will be attacked by another band of "insurgents' and the process will be repeated ad infinitum.

A Foolish Ruling. The foolish ruling of the postoRlcr department will make the patrons of the South Whitley office pay nearly three times as much per quarter after January 1, as they have been paying for boxes. South Whitley is but little larger than Argos, but a big manufacturing firm is located there which sends out an immense quantity of mail, making the receipts of me post office very large, consequently the people will be asked to pay for allowing the concern in their town. The old rates were as follows: Call boxes 15 cents, small lock boxes 30 cents, medium sized lock boxes 40 cents and the large lock boxes 50 cents. The new rates are as follows: call boxes 45 cents, small lock boxes 75 cents, medium sized lock boxes $1 and large lock boxes $1.50.

Marriage Licenses. John Phend and Margaret E. Jordon, Oliver Ringle and Clara C Leeper, Marion W. Sarber and Dessie McCullough, Conrad Danner and Bertha J. Rush, Edward C. Wilch and Mary O. Logan, Delbert A. Voreis and Lucy B. Hissong, Albert Lee and Florence Harlem, Harry E. Woodward and Nellie I. Gam, Stephen E. Lazio and Lela M. Rensberger, Lester L. Zehner and Minnie M. Snyder, Francis Hepler and Margaret M. Pfriffer, Howard Waltz and Marie Finney, Arthur J. Kurtz and Zella M. Dillon.

Favors Decided Increase. Congressman Charles B. Landis is in favor of increasing the salaries of school teachers. He says: 'We have hundreds of young men and young wom-n ambitious to devote their lives to teaching and we have splendid facilities for educating them, but after they get into the work they find it so unrenumerative, as compared with other lines of activity to which they can turn their efforts and energies, that they abandon the profession of educating the youth of the land and take hold of something at which they can do better. The result is that the number of high grade men and women for the more advanced positions is something extremely limited. Unless the compensation is raised the brand of talent that has ever been using the profession as a stepping stone will greatly deteriorate, as there are so many places now awaiting bright and promising young people who wish to work the very day they graduate from our public schools and colleges. I am in favor not only of an Increase but a decided increase. I'd place a high premium on well equipped teaching talent in our public schools."

Reformatory Inmates Entertained. A company of entertainers gave an entertainment in the chapel of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville, December 25. and more than 1,000 of the young men and boys confined there enjoyed a varied program of music, song, recitation, etc. A fine dinner followed, in which roast chicken was the staple. No presents are received by the men who are expected to notify their friends th3t the rules of the institution do not permit the receiving of gifts. Handkerchiefs are excepted, but even these are not delivered to the men when received, but are kept till they need them. Letters, of course, come in larger numbers than usual to all who have not forfeited their right to receive mail.

Freed Fröm Boni's Debts.- - ' Mme. Gould, the former Countess Boni de Castellane, has been victorious in the suits brought by creditors and money lenders against her with the object of making her jointly responsible with the Count for the latter's debts. Thirteen of the fifteen cases were dismissed by the court with costs against the plaintlfT. Only in the cases of two art dealers did the court express the opinion that Mme. Gould should be held responsible, as the objects purchased in these instances for the most part are still in her possession. There are still three cases to be passed upon. In dismissing the thirteen sutts, the court held that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that the debts were contracted for the common bene.rit of the count and countess. The latter, the court declared, had more than fulfilled the obligations under her marriage contact. During her wedded life, she had retained nothing for herself, her entire revenue being collected by her husband and employed, according to his own admission, either for household expenses or ror the payment of his personal debts.

Shaw To Go To the Senate. Secretary Shaw is to get out of the Cabinet this winter, but he is not going out of politics if lie Can help it. The slate fixed up is to have Shaw sent to the Senate to succeed Allison. Cummins is -the only man who stands in the way. Cummins is not a candidate for Senator rhrs year, but left in Governorship might be a candidate to succeed Allieon. To get him out of Allison's way, ft is suggested that railroad interests, represented in pontics largely through J. W. Blythe a;e willing to sacrifice Dolliver, get Cumnrhvi orxt of their way in politics by giving him DolliTer's seat in the Senate leave the road clear for Shfw to taxt Allison's place.

- New- Postoffice -Rule. - ' - - - Excess postage is a thing of the Last, notice to that effect having just been received a tthe postoffice. Now if the persons forgets to put a postage stamp on a letter or does not put on the required amount of postage, the government does not bother to let the person rectify the mistake, but sends the letter to the dead letter office. In the past when a letter or other postal matter lacking the proper postage was dropped into the office, the government delivered the letter or other postal matter to the addresses on the payment of the delinquent postage. In . this way carelessness was fostered. Now the object is to teach carefulness.

Wants Appropriation. President Stone of Purdue university, issued his annual report last Wednesday, containing estimates of the needs of the institution for the next year. The legislature will be asked to appropriate the sum of 303,000, which includes $170,000 for a building and equipment for the department of practical mechanics; $12M00 for building and equipment for engineering labratories and $5,000 for converting present shops and labratories into class rooms. Attention is called to the condition of the ex periment station building, and it is recommended that a new building be provided for this important part of the university.

An Erroneous Idea. There is a man in Wyoming who declined a political office because he thought he could not be a Christian and a politician at the same time. He has an erroneous idea. A man may be a Christian and a politician at the some time. It merely depends on the kind of politician he is.

A Great Device. From a railroad train running at speeds varying from fifteen to thirtyfive miles an hour telephone conversations were held with Louisville, Cincinnati, Madison, Ind., and other points by means of a new device invented by Dr. Adams, of Louisville. He is said to have refused a $100,000 offer by Chicago parties. Men , who were on the train for the purpose of testing the working of the system declared that it is the greatest railroad safeguard since the invention of the air brake, as it enables train dispatchers to communicate directly with crews on moving trains and gives such crews the same facility of communication with each other.

Wanted. Farm hand who can handle horses and stock and do all kind of farm work. Phone 132, or '.pply dlw? Peter J. Kruyer.

Wouldn't Support Children. Charles Goff was sent to jail at Crown Point Monday by Judge McMahan for an unusual cause, and one which has never occurred before in the Lake Circuit court. Goff and his wife' were divorced some two years, she being given the custody of their five children. He was ordered by the court to pay the sum of $7.50 per month -towards their support. This he has failed to do, and the judge sent him to jail for 114 days.

Mouse Causes Girl's Death. Miss Lulu Tace, twenty-one years old, was so severely burned at the home of Clyde White, in Wells county Tuesday nigh't that she died Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock. Vv'hiU and Miss Tace were hunting a mouse which took refuge back of a box in a bedroom. In the search a lamp was upset and Miss Tace became frights ened and jumped over the lamp, her clothing catching fire. She ran into the yard and her clothing were all burned off when a blanket wa-3 wrap, ped around her. She was literally roasted alive.

Pastors Appeal to Hanly. The clergymen of. Laporte, were thrown into consternation Friday by the publication of the statement that Mayor Darrow had given the saloon keepers permission to keep' open their back doors on Sunday until 0 o'clock. They declare they will begin a vigorous fight for law enforcement and will appeal to Governor Hanly for co-operation in stamping out liberalism as it pertains to open saloons

on Sunday.

New Terror in Northwest. Danger of starvation is now added to the horrors of the fuel famine in the northwest. The already inadequate railroad service has been interrupted by the cold and blizzards on the western prairies and now several towns are not only suffering from lack. of fuel, but are short on food. The situation at Ambrose, N. D., is declared to be desperate.

i '-Bids: for County Printing.' Bids for stationery, books, blanks and other county supplies for the year 1907, were opened at the auditor's office Saturday afternoon.

Boys put in a bid of $93.40 for 4th class but it was not made in accordance with specifications ' and and was therefore rejected, and bid-; for the fourth class will be re-adyer-tised.

Dewey's Views. Admiral Dewey has very clearly expressed his views as to the condition and needs of our navy. He shows that in( fighting strength we Boys Kills Elk in Indiana. An Elk was shot in Indiana Tuesday. It was a monster and was killed by a boy with a small rifle. The boy had seen the animal a number of times and had no trouble in getting in easy gun-shot distance before Vie drew bead and polled the trigger. He shot it in a park in Richmond It had been sold to a restaurant man for Christmas ?teaks.

Monument Dedicated. A handsome public monument, erected on the court house corner, to the Montgomery county soldiery of all wars, was dedicated Saturday afternoon at Crawfordsville. The Grand Army paraded to fusic Hall where the exeVcises were held. James D. Wilson, county commissioner, presented the monument to the public and it was accepted by E. R. Brown, department commander of the Indiana G. A. R. William T. Whittington delivered the principal address.

Hitchcock Standing Pa. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, who was called before the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, declared that his order withdrawing 4,000,000 acres of land belonging to the civilized tribes will stand and the land will not be restored unless the investigation as. to the legality of his act, now in progress, develops that h,e exceeded his authority.

Can't Stop Talking; May Die. ; For nearly a week John Frsh,'d farmer who lives near Warrensburg, O., has been talking constantly and is unable to stop. He cannot sleep,' and is powerless to pause in his monologue, wheh is coherent and reveals no symptoms of insanity, long enough to eat. He is growing emaciated and is almost at the point of collapse. Physicians, who are unable to do anything to relieve him, fear he will die. I

Tobacco Test for Novels....; The other day in a public library in London an attendant noticed a young girl sniffing suspiciously at the books. When he asked the reason of her strange conduct she told him frankly. "I sniff at a book," "she said, 'to see if it smells of tobacco. If it does then I know it's a book a man has been reading and that it's a good

one.
