The following is the amount paid by Marshall and adjoining counties for advertising, blank books, blanks and office stationery for the year 1905: Marshall $1677.14 St. Joseph 2783.53 Starke 2U93.87 Pulaski 2887.32 Thus it will be seen that Starke county spent $20S.2'J more for stationery, blank books etc. than did St. Joseph, while the latter county is more than rive times as large as Starke. Pulaski county spent $101.74 more than St. Joseph and the county is only a trifle larger than Starke. In Starke county the Hon. John L. Moorman is the editor of the Republican newspaper and in Pulaski the distinguished Carl W. Riddick edits and publishes the Republican newspaper. In Marshall county the advertising and stationery costs $1316.73 less than Pulaski. This saving of over $1000.00 is due to the untiring, efforts, of the Tribune in preventing graft by the publishers of the other newspapers. -The above figures were taken from the statistical report of Indiana and can be found on pages 429 and 430. Congressional Review. More money has been appropriated during the short session of the 59th Tii'ress which passed into history at noon Monday than during any previous session. The amount, as near as can be estimated, approximates a billion dollars. Two big battleships were authorized for the navy and the artillery corps of the army was reorganzied and enlarged. A general service pension was granted to veterans of the Mexican and civil wars, and like provisions were made for army nurses For river and harbor improvements the appropriation aggregated $83,000,000. Increased salaries were given to cabinet ministers, the vice president and senators, the speaker of the. house of representatives and its -members, to ambassadors, ministers and consuls; to postoffice clerks and letter carriers. The public made more inquiries for information from the document rooms of .congress regarding the ship subsidy bill, the curency measure and the bill regulating the hours . of service of railway employes than any other pending legislation. Ship subsidy died hard in the last hours. The other two measures became laws as the session closed. . "The immigration bill, one of the measures brought over from the long session, ' was completed' under' the spur of the president that, he might meet the California-Japanese situa tion by giving the administration control of coolie importation through passports. The bill further restricts the admission of aliens to this country. : A bill was passed for the establishment of an agricultural bank in the Philippine Islands. The free alcohol law of last session was modified that farmers may distill the waste products to be denatured and used in the arts and sciences. The right of appeal in criminal cases was granted the government, a measure intended to strergthen the anti-trust legislation by aording a means whereby the supreme court may pass on the constitutionality and construction of such laws. An investigation was , authorized regarding the condition of women and child workers. The interstate commerce commission was authoriz ed to ascertain and report if the ex press companies of the country are evading the railroad law of last ses- , sion by buying, selling and handling on consignment of fruit, vegetables and oysters. Reed Smoot was retained by the senate as senator from Utah, end .ing a four years' controversy. The senate ratified treaties with Santo Domingo and of Alc-ciras. Scores Czar as Despot. Rev. Lyman Abboti at the mass meeting in New York Monday night in sympathy with Russian people s.iid: "We are here because we be lieve that the people of Russia have tl.e right to have their persons and property protected by their govern ment: that this is a fundamental righ and that it is palpably, flagrantly and continuously violated by the Russian government. "The cvilized world justly holds the czar responsible for these high crimes, for they are perpretrated in his name and under his authority. If the Russian government authorizes them it is intolerably despotic; if it is unable to prevent them it is into! erably incompetent. In either case it is intolerable and it is the right," it is the duty of the Russian people to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security. "If revolution is ever justified the revolution in Russia is justified by the causes which have provoked it' Monthly Summary of Weather.

Sweeping Before Our Own Doors. A philosophical contributor to the columns of an eastern . paper considerately declares; that no fault can be found with those humane persons who constantly and earnestly urge the government of the United States to use its good offices for the amelioration of the condition of the natives in he Congo' t Free State" -and to sotp the atrocities perprctrate'd there by tnc hirelings of King Leopold. Those atrocities, even though not quite as bad as pictured, are a shame and a disgrace to all Christendom, and some actions should perhaps be taken by the United States provided this could be done according to laws and treaties, and without giving offense to a friendly nation. The United Stntes cannot assume the role ol international policeman. But there are conditions in the United States that should have the more immediate attention of its people, and are receiving comparatively little. Annually many thousands ol persons are killed and injured on American railways. Slaughter by railway companies overshadows every

thing in the Congo, and very little is done to better the conditions here. The killing and the maiming go on and the number of victims increases annually. The number of persons killed in mines, in works of construction and mills is too great. -; It is alleged that many fatal accidents aw due. to crimnal carelessness on the part of em ployers and a great hubbub was raised over what was called wanton sacrifice of life in the New York tunnel construction, but with the exception of some "pounding on a log" not much has been done. When the Iroquois theater in Chi cago burned,' some years ago, ana hundreds of lives were lost therein, there followed immediate demand that all theatres be made sate. How many places of amusement are not now death traps? An excursion boat burned near New York and some hundreds . of passengers were drown ed or burned to death because there were no means to escape from the vessel. How many boats now run ning would become the same sort of floating hells if fire should break out on board? Finally, there are ten to twelve thousand homicides in this country annually, and lynchings are undiminished in number. : This is a grim and unpleasant re cital, but it is necessary. Any superabundant energy in the cause of humanity can well be expended in these United States. There is always plenty of work at home for willing hands to do. Obviously, the lesson this unex aggerated recital of American blemshes and shortcomings teaches i that we should abandon the foolish notion that it devolves upon "us as a nation to attemptj to cure the ills of all peoples on. earth.'" Instead, . we should settle dow-n to the. conclusion hat the proper course for us to- pursue is to sweep before our'own doors and put our premises in a. condition for which ni apology to the. world at large trill be . required. South Bend Times. ' , . Extravagance at Washington. In a long article recently published !n The Sunday Record-Herald, Senator Beveridge of Indiana who, by a coincidence, will henceforth occupy the desk that Senator Spooner has sat at for many years in the Senate hambcr depicted in a striking man ner the change in the style of living that has Vrome upon Washington with the influx of latter-day millionaires into the poitical and social life of the national capital. The writer too!; the ground that the time was coming when either the rich must give way to well-to-do or the well-to-do to the rich in the halls of Congress that the man of moderate means could not stand the pace that has been set, and that the former modest mode of liv Ing must return or the poor man bow adieu to public life and let the weal thy. legislate for the country. Senator Spooner s resignation gives force to the Beveridge theory. The Wisconsin senator has declared in substance that, the pace is too much for him, and on this point , there is more to be said than is contained in the letter to Governor Davidson. On account of his brilliant attainments, as well as his political standing. Sen ator Spooner has been in demand at the continual round of dinners and other social functions that crowd the Washington season. It is entirely safe to say that the money spent foi private entertaining in Washington the past winter, which has broken al records in its rush of gay life, would in the aggregate, compare with some of the main appropriation bills of the two-billion-dollar congress. Record Herald. Platz Haas Wedding. At the home of Rev. Martin L Peter in Lapaz, the marriage cere mony of Miss Elizabeth M. Haas and Floyd Platz was pronounced last Wednesday evening. They were unat tended. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Haas of Union township and is a highly respected young lady. The groom is a ion of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Platz of Ger man township. The newly married couple will go to housekeeping on the Hill farm known as the "Section near . Lake of the Woods, bearing with them the sincere congratulations of their many friends. To the Public. At the request of a committee composed of '.members of the Bureau of Commerce and Farmers I have decided to lower the toll rates in the coun ty, to take effect on March 1st, 1907 to all points within a radius of miles 10 cents and'to all points over 8 miles 15 cents for a five minute conversation.. I will further sell a coupon book good for $5.00 for $4.00 making a further reduction of 20 per cent for those who wish to buy the coupon book. Yours etc. CA. REEVE.

. .May Abandon the Flyers. Because of the adoption of laws compelling the railroads to carry passengers for not more than 2 cents a mile in the states of Ohio and Indiana the eighteen-hour trains operated by. the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroad companies between New York and, Chicago may be withdrawn; There is a bill before the Illinois' legislature . fixing the same mileage rate and if this becomes a law the maximum fare possible for the railroads to charge will be $18.24 for a single trip between New York and Chicago. Under an operating agreement the two companies charge the same fare on the;r fastest trains. It is now fixed at $30 for each passenger and in addition the traveler is compelled to purchase a Pullman ticket, for which $5 is charged. At the offices of the New York Central railroad it was explained that the increased cost of operation for the fastest trains made it impossible tocarry passengers at the 2-cent rate and at present the question is being debated by the officers of both the Central and Pennsylvania lines. It is certain, that the fast trains will be withdrawn if it is found that the companies can not charge more than the 2-cent rate.

Governor Signs Many Bills. Gov. Hanly has signed the following bills: To prohibit Sunday barbering; to allow a maximum maintenance per diem for children in a county orphans' home to be 30 cents instead of 25 cents; (Baker) to require annual reports to the secretary of state from corporations; to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16 years; to abolish the closed season or hook and line fishing and to protect private ponds; to empower infant wives to convey real estate; to make it a penal offense to permit boys or girls under 18 years of age to frequent wine rooms; to change the penalty for incest to a term of from 2 to 21 years; to prohibit the sale of dis eased horses and mules; to amend the burglary statute so as to include ginseng gardens; to provide that the agent of life insurance companies shall be the agent of the company tie represents and not the agent of the. assured.; to legalize the marriage of i, first cousins now married, and to prohibit such marriages in the future. Wisconsin's Retiring fenator. Senator John C. Spooner of Wis consin, who has tendered his resignation, to take effect May 1, was born in Lawrenceburg, Ind., Jan. 6, 1843, and removed with his father's family o Madison, Wis., in 1859. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1864. He volunteered as a private in the civil- war ,and at he" close of hi service was a brevet major." He vrtiS admitted tb"he bar in 1S67, and scTverJ 'as assistant attoP ney general of Wisconsin until '1870. He. was elected to the state assembly in '1872 and United States senator in 1S85, was again elected to the Sen ate in lfl)7 and reelected in In 1808 he'declined thei position -of See. retary "of th- Interior in President McKinley's' cabinet, and in 1901 de clined a second Invitation of President McKinley to enter the cabinet as Attorney General. His term would have expired in 1909. February a Dry Month, As though to atone for the lachry mose tendency of the clouds of Jan uary, February, just ended, broke all records in thirty-six years by letting fall upon the earth the least amount of moisture recorded in that period. The total precipitation for the month was registered at the office of the Weather Bureau as 0.18 of an Inch, making a deficiency for the month, as compared with the average of thir ty-six . years, of 2.87 inches. The mean temperature for the month struck about the average, be ing 30 degrees. The highest temper aturc on any day of the month was 63 degrees above zero on Feb. 13 The lowest registration of the thermometer was 6 degrees above zero on Feb. 3. Only four foggy days were noted. The number of cloudy days was eight; partly cloudy thirteen and clear seven. This weather is for Indianapolis. Hunters Up in Arms. Steps will be taken this week to perfect the organization of clubs of sportsmen in Lake and Porter coun ties to secure legislation that wil preserve the Kankakee country from threatened invasion by Chicago clubs which are acquiring leases on thous ands of acres of land along the Kan kakee river for hunting grounds. It is said that leases have been se cured on 40,000 acres of land. The activity of Chicago sportsmen has aroused a feeling of bitter antagon ism in the Indiana counties: It is feared that the pre-emption of hunt ing grounds will lead to feuds and a repetition 'of the Tolleston Clul troubles in which several men were killed. Making His Way. Twenty years ago a youngster who had Just been admitted to the bar went to New York City with a recommendation from a country judge His clothes were country made and home grown, and they set so awk wardly about him that the head of the firm said to his partner, "I suppose he is worth $10 a week, but try to make him get acquainted with civilized attire as soon as possible." Five years later he married his employer's daughter and that is the hhtory of Charles E. Hughes, now governor of New York. He has taken hold of the grafters and is trying to bring order out of chaos i.i the Empire state. No More Saloons in Argos. The remonstrance against saloons in Walnut townthip has been successful. The remonstrators have'a majority of about twenty-five and there will be no saloons in Walnut townships for two years. -

Indiana and Ship Subsidies. Representative Watson, of Indiana, whip of the House, was the-most active man on the floor during the three hours spent in roll calls on the bill and amendments. He was hert and there and eevrywhere, lining up members for tHe bill and sending after absentees. The general in chief on the other side was John Sharp Williams. If Williams could have forced all of "the Democratic members to "stay pat" he would have won the fight, but they slipped away from him and he couldn't get them back to the House. It was currently reported that treachery on the Democratic side enabled the promoters of the bill to put it through. Representative Watson admitted that while the1 fight was on he held frequent conferences with' a Democratic member who kept h"m posted on all that was going on on the minority side. Several Democrats faded away after the first roll call was taken and didn't return. Every Indiana man was in his s?at. and each responded readily to the call of his, name. The final lineup of the delegation furnished some surprises. Representative Brick, who stated a few days ago in an interview that he would not vote for ship subsidy in any form, supported th amended bill on every roll call. The Landises, who had been counted for ship subsidy, gave the shipping lobby a shock by voting against the bill every time their names were called. Holliday was against the bill from start to finish. He is the right kind of a Republican he came out boldly and told everybody where he stood. As for Mr. Brickt he has always been in favor of the bill, but he denied it.

Depository Bill Amended. The house has materially amended the depository bill and it is doubtful if the senate will concur. None of the amendments make radical changes in the bill. Numerous amendments offered by different members were tabled. One of th successful amendments provided that the measure shall not go into effect until Jan. 1, 1908, when the county treasurers elected last fall take office With this amendment to the bill does not apply to present county officers. ' Another important amendmeni permits banks tq give gravel road bonds as surety for county deposits f they desire. Another amendment increases the penalty for violation of the depository law by boards of finance. Any member of a board of finance who knowingly violates the provisions o! the bill may have a fine of not les? than $500 nor more than $2,000 asto sessed against him. A jail sentence also is provided. Other amendments and change will be made before the bill becomes aiaw, if 'it is not finally defeated so hat Senator Parks 'till hardly rccbg nlze it as his bill..: J '''' 1 r-- . All the Sporting News.1 -The steady reliability-with which The Chicago1 Record-Herald presents the sporting' news of the whole country each'tfay has made it an authority n this field. It has a large staff of editors and reporters to handle the telegraphic matter and gather the lo cal news in this important depart: ment alone. In The Sunday RecordHerald this department has a separate supplement of four full pagesa newspaper in itself in which all the latest sporting news is presented with numerous illustrations. All that is of interest in baseball, football, racing, athletics, automobiling yacht ing, golf, tennis, pugilism, acqttatio and other sports can always be found here, along with many special article by experts of national reputation The Record-Herald is a favorite among lovers of sport because its sporting columns are written by "men who know." Two Laws to Its Credit Indiana now has a two-cent fare law that is it will have when the laws enacted by the present legislature go into effect which will be about the middle of April when the various acts are published. The assembly has thus done at least one thing for which it deserves the thanks of the people. In truth there are two things for which the state, generally speaking, should be grateful the two-cent fare law and the "blind tiger" law. While these sink into comparative irsignificance when placed beside what has not been done or the objectionable things which are on record the fact still remains that both are good laws In comparison with what might have been accomplished so far, this is lit lie enough, and yet it gives the state something to show for its legislature Also, the people have reason, as is usually the case, to be thankful for small favors. It is further well to remember that the assembly is stil in session and that as long as there is a sign of life there is hope. South Bend Tribune. Notice of Damage Suits. If the house passes Senator Ro m ler's bill which passed the Senate yesterday and which has to deal with suits for damage, for personal injuries filed against cities and town1?, it will be more difficult in the future tV dishonest claimants to prosecute their suits. The bill' by Senator Roem'er provides that within sixty days a person injured on any street of a ciy ot town must notify the proper city officers of such accident and injury and failure to do so is a bar for damages. Open Season for Fishing. A bill has been' passed by the legislature makng an open season for fishing with hook and line in the lakes the year around, which repeals the law prohibiting fishing from March 20 to May 15. The bill will go into effect when the law are published, probably about May 1, and anyone who desires may fish through the ice or at any time of the year without violating the law.'

The Miller Kendall Wedding. Charles Edward Miller and Miss Edith Kendall were married at' the home of the bride's mother on Michigan street, Plymouth,' Ind., at 4 o'clock p. m. Wednesday, February 27, 1907, Rev. Dr. C. A. Brooke of Valparaiso, officiating. The bride, is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Ken dall. Her father, Major Kendall, was one of the prominent figures of the civil war, his incarceration in Libby prison, his escape and recapture within four miles of the union line after he had been in the woods three weeks, is one of the thrilling episodes of the soldiers of this county. He was a prominent business man and was postmaster of Plymouth sixteen years. He died four years ago. I 1 M Mr. Miller is a young farmer of West township and he and his bride will go to housekeeping on the Corse farm, three miles west of Plymouth. The happy couple went to Indianapolis for a wedding trip. The wedding was a quiet one but very pretty; but intimate friends and relatives were present. The out of town guests were Miss Jessie, Brown and Daniel Flood, of South Bend. Mrs. Fitzgerald of War

Mr. and Mrs. William Haab and lit tle child of near Milford were saved from a horrible death by fire Tues day night, by their telephone. With the second story of their home in flames they were asleep on the first floor when the furious ringing of the elephone bell aroused them. Mrs. Haab, in going to the phone discov ered the fire and with her husband and little one rushed from the house ust in time to escape being burned alive, as the upper story fell with a crash a very few minutes after they eft the house. It seems that Mrs. Haab's brother William Harter, who lives Just at the edge of Milford discovered the flames and. with great presence of mind at once telephoned, his phone and that of the Haab's being on the same line of the Royal Telephone Company. By his persistent ringing the family were aroused from what otherwise would have been their last sleep. The Haab home was about half a mile west of Milford.- The house was burned to the ground and none of the contents were sved. The fire wa started from an incubator which was kept on the second floor. There was a small insurance on the house but none on the contents. Tht Coroner's Finding. The Big Four railroad- company has been charged with negligence in connection with .the. Fowler, .wreck. Charles j S.-:)Crniley, coroner t.of Benton county,, has . returnedhis find ing in the case, which, is to the effect that the assistant train dispatcher the conductor arid the engineer, of the freight train and the head officials and manag-ment of the railrpad company were"giiilty tf gross negligence. tie, ai0 nnui maiin.e engineer 01 me ill-fated passenger train1 was' running at reckless speed when the accident happened. The, coroner seems to have made a thorough investigation and to have reported his findings clearly and courageously. The public, however, will, be interested in observ ing whether or not the coroner's re port will end r.U talk of the Fowlet disaster,or whether the inquiry will go further. It. would seem that the charges ofer an opportunity fo something definite in the way of re suits. . Superior Ability in Demand. ' Look here, yonng man. You say you want to get ahead? If that be your ambition, make up your mind to go ahead. Don't always look for the beaten path. Plunge into the untrod deri fieldr.

With minor amendments and after a hard fight against it had been made by Representative Babcock the Fär ber insurance bill passed the House Monday afternoon by a vote of 81 to 15. The bill was at once taken to the Senate and that body concurred in the amendments.. ' , The measure creates a new insurance department under the auditor of state,' providing 'for additional employes and increasing the powers of the department. As passed the bill opposes the desire of the Governor, which was that an insurance commis sioner be appointed by him to head the department. The Senate atid House agreed that this should not be done, it being charged that it would permit the Governor to create a powerful personal machine. iIMi",ÄI,wlli Beware of Ohio Swindler. Representative Lacey, of Iowa, has issued a!v:-iming to old soldiers against th scheme of . an. alleged swindler whö is said to be operat: ing from Columbus, Ohio. . This man, Representative Lacey says, writes to the veteran offering on payment of $15 . to obtain a representative to register for him, so that he may participate in the drawing of lands on the proposed opening of the Flathead Indian? v reservation. Mr. Lacey is emphatic in his declaration that this work is being undertaken merely to exploit the veterans and they should be, warned in time.

Newton F. Watson of Columbia Chy, representing Whitley, Hunt ington and Kosciusko counties in the lower house, was sucessiul in getting the bill he introduced in the! legislature , passed last week repeal ing that section of the criminal codq which makes the dehorning of cattle a misdemeanor. In making his race he told the farmers of his district that he would work for the passage of such a repeal law. "I'm a farmi er myself, and I know how unjus the law was," declared Mr. Watson, "The farmer who keeps a herd o cattle finds it absolutely necessary to dehorn them to keep them from1 injuring one another. But under the old law dehorning was made punish able by a fine. Farmers all over the state wanted the law repealed. It's pretty safe to say that the members of the legislature of 1905 didn't know what they were voting for when they allowed that section to remain in the, criminal code. ; DESTROYS SLEEP.
