TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Build ins. corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postofcce at Plymouth. Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., June 13, 1907. XThe Chicago papers Sunday made mention of the name of Jesse Grant as a probable candidate on the Democratic ticket for the presidency. 0 'A The atrocious crime with which Liberty Cross is charged seems from the evidence to be true. It is certainly no credi to any lawyer to defen 1 a person of such character as Cross. The sooner the community gets rid of this class of criminals the better and attorneys and everybody should lend a hand to send them to the penitentiary. J P JS Mr. Jas. Gilmore was retired from the school board Monday evening, by the election of Theodore .Cressner as his successor. Mr. Gilmore has shown himself to be an ideal member of this board. He was always willing to sacrifice his time for school purposes and devoted much effort toward advancing school interests in this city. He certainly deserves the commendation of school children, as well as taxpayers. Jf J Jß THE CITIZENS OF PLYMOUTH vs. THE COMMON COUNCIL. A petition signed by 124 of the most prominent and influential citizens and taxpayers of Plymouth was presented to the city council Monday evening, requesting that body not to enter into a new contract or extend the old franchise ,with the Plymouth electric company until the expiration of the present contract. Four members, McCoy, Tanner, Deeds and Ness utterly ignored the prayer of the citizens and taxpayers of the city of. Plymouth. Councilman Buck made a motion to defer action of the elec tric, light franchise .for the present at Ieast,and neither of the councilmen Councilman Deeds, moved that the proposed franchise and contract with Mr. Snoeberger be published in each of thethree newspapers in order that the people of Plymouth may read and understand for themselves what Snoeberger wants. The expense for this work will cost the taxpayers about sixty dollars' but what's the difference? It's our own money any way. I M J Jfi J FOR A FOURTH OF JULY. The Tribune renews its suggestion for a public celebration of the Fourth ot July, it will De Detter to nave a celebration at home than for our people to go elsewhere to spend the day It will be well for the people of the country and round-about towns to come here. They will come here if the citizens cf Plymouth will take the matter in hand and make a pro gram of exercises that will be attract ive. I will be creditable to the city to have a celebration of the day, bu it will be no credit to pass the day unnoticed. A procession in the fore noon, with the fire companies, the militia, the civic bodies, etc., in line. headed by the band; a game of bal in the afternoon, and an address later in the afternoon, with fireworks at night, with such other attractions as would be suggested, would make program that will bring large num bcrs to Plymouth and show a prbp er observance of the nation's holiday The merchants should get together, the lawyers ,the preachers, the city officials and all others who are Inter ested, and -commence action immedi ately. Will somebody start the bal a-rolling? UJ J J War on America Urged in Japan. Viscount Tarn leader, of the opposition in the house cf peers, and head of the defense of Kumantoto in the batsunra rebellion, is reported to have said anent the American ques tion: . , "The persecution of the Japanese in San Francico is a most wicked act. Should diplomacy fail to bring about a satisfactory solution the only way open to us in an appeal to arms. Our mind is finnly made up. It is certain that America will yield; for its people are radically commercial in their sen timent." ' ' How much Viscount Tani repre sents public sentiment it is 'difficult to estimate at the present time. The Hochi said that "San Fran cisco outrages" should be considered as of national significance. Continuing it said: "The San Francisco incident con cerns notonly the rights of the Jap anese the.- but the honor of Japan Our demand must be firmr insisted upon, and sentimental considerations set aside' Chicago Tribune. A Wholesome Philosophy. Absolute honesty and a definite will often produce better results without unusual intellectual gifts or opportunity than the keenest intellect can attain without these moral qualities It would be an easy thing, says Laura Drake Gill in Delineator ,to quote cases of noted men and women in whom defects of character have practically nullified the most conspicuous intellectual gifts. A philosophy of life is not what we think about life, but the convictions which govern out actions. It has well been called the "working hypothesis of life." Since well-directed power is the measure of success, it is within the reach of every human being. Play your part well be it great or small and despair will disappear, like the morning mist before the sun. Your part is not to expend your nervous force in cynical criticism, but in the high Obligation to build on whatever foundation of cJlnviction you may possess.

HE MENOMINEE MONUMENT. The Tribune believes that the

board of county commissioners acted properly in fulfilling the provision upon which the appropriation ot 5j2öuu was made by the last legislature for the Luilding of a monument at Menominee village. The prevision required that the board of commissioners of Marshall county 'shall make provision for the control and repair of said monument and chapel when completed. The com missioners assumed the proviso and when the governor appoints the three rustces, as provided for, the appro priation will be forthcoming and work will begin. The trustees are to kee. an account of all disbursements, and make a full report thereof and of the execution of this trust to the gover nor not later than December, 1D09. The proviso requiring the control and repair of the monument and chapel is simply a formality as there will not for many years be any expense required for repairs. There will be no expense to the monument unless light ning should strike it, which is not probable. The appropriation from the state funds will not be felt by the people. The thought that is expressed by a marble shaft is healthful to a people. t stands for some historic fact or public service or heroic deed that is worthy of perpetuation. It expresses the aspirations of a people and is the product ' of a high civilization. The dome of a shaft, wherever the eye meets it, suggests something of the past that has made the present better. While the monument to be placed at the Menominee village will not mark any degree of civilization no: heroic achievement, it will stand for ?. - people that . once possessed oui country. But they fulfilled their des tiny and played their part in the gradtal evolution of the plan of human Kind. The savage state has always preceded the civilized state, and in the econrni'cs of nature they douMess fulfilled their part. They wert here; tee white man tound them here by rightof pre-emption and gradually pushed them off from their possessions. ' They are gonet and will live only in the songs and chronicles ol their exterminators. And this monu Tient will stand as a tribute to their uphappy fate as a people. Jt Head of Jap Society Says There Will be no War. Reports from Washington that a combination exists between the Jap anese of the northwest and the pro gressive party at home are discredited by both the Japanese f consul, S. Hishimdzu, and Brig.-Gen. O. E vood, who is at Seattle, Wash., with :he Kuroki party. Hishimidzu de clared the report tc be absurd and without any" foundation. "Mr. Yamaoka," the consul declared, "has always been a member of the Liberal party and there is no reason why he shoulu enter into any combination with the Progressives. Reports have entirely misrepresented the conference at Washington and can do no good.' General Wood laughs at the idea of any combination trying to bring on war and says that the trouble is due to the agitation of several dis satisfied I persons who thought they saw an opportunity to make Some noise; that Japan does not want to go to war with the United States. C. TTakahaShi, who represented the Seattle-Japanese Society at Washington, said: "The whole question is too absurd for comment. 1 can speak unqualifiedly on behalf of the business men and merchants of the Japanese race. War is not waritsd and, the trouble is due to the agitation 'of a small party wio would like to disturb the high order of friendship that exists between the United States and Japan.' " Gen. Baron Kuroki sailed Tuesday for the Orient on the steatnshi; Kaga. Before leaving Genercl Kuroki, through the American honoraryescort, Gen. O. E. Wood, said that his visit to this country JiaJ been a most pleasant one, and that he leaves with thekindest feeling- for Uncle Sam and .his peopTe. Vetoes 2-Cent Fare BiU. Gov. Hughes Tuesday vetoed the bill instituting a flat pascM.r- r rate of '? cents a mile on eveiy uilroad sytem in the state more thjn 150 iles long. In the course of his veto me-isaire the governor pointed out that "the passage of the bill was not preceded by legislative investigation or suitable inquiry under -the authority of the state. Nor is the fixing of this predicated on reports or statist! :s officially collated which would permit a fair conclusion as to the justice of it's operation with reference to the railroads within its purview." The governor says also, in part: "Injustice on the part of railroad corporations toward the public does not justify injustice on the part' of the state toward the railroad corporations. The action of the government should be fair and impartial, and upon this every citizen, whatever his interest, is entiled to insist. "The fact that those in control of railroad corporations have been guilty of grossly improper financecring and of illegal and 'injurious discrimination in charges points clearly to the necessity of effective state action, but does not require or warrant arbitrary reprisals. "Nothing could be more opposed to the interests of the community as a whole thin to cripple the transportation corporations by arbitrary reduction of earnings." Need Not Count Mail. Rural delivery carriers will not be required to count the number of pieces of mail delivered and collected by them after July 1 next on routes where the records show that 5,000 or more pieces of mail per month were handled during each of the three months included in the quarter ending June 30. Postmasters have been instructed accordingly.

ROMINENT DEMOCRAT HERE.

Benjamin W. Shively Spends Quiet Afternoon in Plymouth. Hon. Benjamin W. Shively courteous, obliging, atlable, was in town iart oi the day Sunday, having come thus far with his family, who took an evening train on the Pennsylvania for he east, where they will spend the summer months at his wife's home in Pennsylvania, and Mr. Shively is left to keep bachelor's hall, keep the house in order, put the cat out of nights and otherwise maintain the domestic tandard-of the household. From the car window the children threw kisses at their papa, which he answered back till the train bore them out of saluting distance. Mr. Shively met a number of friends that had worn the "Shively" badge in 'the last campaign, with whom he chatted for a few moments, and then walked up to the Vandalia station to return to South Bend. Asked whether his last campaign had disturbed his usual equanimity, he replied that he would rather be defeated by a thousand than by a few hundred. for in the latter case it showed that with a little more effort r.nd proper work it might have been overcome. The scribe did not have the temerity to ask the ex-congressman outright whether he had considered the matter of again becoming the candidate of his party, and he carefully" parried sny suggestion leading up to that subject. "It will only be a year till another campaign, and a- governor to elect," was said. "Yes' he replied, "and a year is a short time. I consider the chances better in the district for the one that gets the nomination than they were in the last campaign. A majority of 7000 seemed too much to try to overcome and Democrats here in your county stayed at home because they considered the effort useless. Now, however, they have re gained spirit and will poll their full vote." The ex-congressman probably meant this as a little fairy story for the scribe. Asked concerning the Republican timber that is being talked of for the presidency,' the ex-congressman said: "To my mind, Roosevelt will undoubt c-dly be the candidate of his party. He expects to be the nominee... His hand .'n that direction is clearly seen in the manipulation of affairs in Ohio To my mind1, he will break all prcce dents and will be the nominee of his party." "There have been a number of Democrats brought forward as available candidates other than Bryan," suggested the scribe. "Bryan has the call, and can have the nomination if he wants it," was the prompt and decisive answer. ine ex-congressman scratched a match on the upper region of his trousers, and entering the smoking car the Tall Sycamore of the raging St. Joseph was speeded homeward. Sloop Goes to Junk Pile. After having weathered stormj for nearly, three-quarters of a century the old sloop-of-war St. Louis, has been sold by the Governor to a junk dealer of Philadelphia for $4,210. The vesse was condemned by a board of survey ors at League Island Navy Yard, and it was decided by the Navy Depart ment th it it should be sold, the upset price bung fixed at $3,300. The great amount of copper in the old hulk made it more than usMally valuable. The St. Louis was built at Wash ington in 1828, and was the vessel with .which Capt. Ingraham overawed an Austrian squadron in the harbor of Smyrna and secured the release of an American citizen who was held a prisoner on the Austrian .flagship Capt. Ingraham cleired for action and served notice that he would open fire on the squadron if the man was no surrendered by a certain hour. Before the time limit expired the man was sent on board the St. Louis. Indian ipolis Star. Hoosier Battles With Man-Eater. A thrilling story of a battle with sharks is told in a letter from Fred A. Clickard of Peru, who is now aboard the United States sloop Charleston. Acording to his state ment four men were devoured. Th letter follows: "A Magdelena seven of us. went out to survey .the bay. The third day we were out in a small sailing vessel when we struck a storm and the boat capsized. We drifted for about ten miles before we touched land. Out of the seven men only three of us were able to reach shore. The water was full of sharks, and we think that they got the other four mn. "We were lost from our ship for twenty-four days, and I slept twentynights on the sandy beach around the bay with coyotes barking all night. When we finally reached the Charles ton we were almost 'all in.' The cap tain invited us down to his cabin, where we were given stimulants. We soon began to get better and now we are over the hardships we endured while lost." Have Right of Way. .The postmaster general has issued an order or notice that all rural mail carriers have the right of way on all the country roads, and that all other carriages or conveyances must sur render that right of way to the rural carriers'. That 'was the rule when the mails were carried in four-horse stage coaches ,and everyone had to get out of the way when the mail coach came along. It is a very serious matter for anyone to obstruct the rapid transportation of the United States mails. Get out of the road when the rural free delivery carrier comes along with Uncle Sam's mail. Wants Heavy Damages. John Jarvis of Hobart, who lost both legs last November when he fell from a Pennsylvania train while cnroute home from Whiting, filed suit in the Lake superior court for $30,000 damages.

A Boy and a Thousand Dollars. A New York judge gave his son $1,000, telling him to go to college, and graduate. The son returned at the end of reshman year without a dolar and with several ugly habits. At the close of the vacation the judge told his son that he had done all he could for him. If he had wasted the money that was to iave taken him through college, he might as well leave home and make his own way in the world. It was a rude awakening for ,the .young man, but he "crew that his father was right. And so strong was the good influence of his upright father that he did leave home to go to work in downright earnest. He went back to college, made his way through graduating at the head of his class, studied law became governor of the state of New York, entered the cab inet of the president of the United States and made a name for himself that the country will not willingly let die. It was William II. Seward Dying Man Craves Vengeance. "I don't care if I kick the buckel tonight, but before I do I would like 1 1.-' IU MU llldl Slid 111.

Heavy Taxes on Rich Urged by Roosevelt. President Roosevelt emphasized the theory that the swollen fortunes of the country shall bear the brunt of "a constantly increasing burden of taxtaion." In an address to the members of the National Educational

Association at the Jamestown Expo sition at Norfolk, Va., Monday, he explained in full previously outlined convictions on the subject and came out vigorously for a new taxation programme that will affect both incomes and inheritances. Monday was "Georgia kday" at the exposition, and it was a characteristically Roosevelt affair all through. Besides his address to the editors, the chief magistrate made a speech in honor of the opening of the Georgia state building, iri which he dwelt sharply upon the duty of employers to renumerate employes injured in their servic- The President also claimed that railroads should be held to particularly strict account in this respect,, nc matter whether or not the accident is due to the employe's negligence. While the taxation feature sood out strongly in his address to the newspaper men, the President alio spoke with force upon the necessity of preserving the nation's natural resources and, in this connection, he called attention to the need for additional legislation by Congress. In Mguing for a tax on the swollen fortune the President said that most of the civilized nations already have such a tax in operation. He asserted he spoke with diffidence on the subject, however, because the supreme court, by a vote of 5 to 4, had found one scheme of an inVrome tax unconstitutional. The chief executive added that -not only on that account was the task of creating such a law difficult, but also because it is hard to frame a program that will not permit the "very men whom it js most desirable to have taxed" to escape absolutely. "Nevertheless;" said the President, "a gradual income tax of the proper type would be a desirable permanent feature of federal taxation, and I still hope that one may be devised which the Supreme court will declare constitutional." In the President's judgment, howex or, the inheritance tax is a far bet ter method of taxation. It hits, ho thought, more directly, the nation's swollen fortunes -which, he declared exists solely because of the protec tion given the owners by the public." These fortunes are a constant source of care and anxiety to the public, President Roosevelt said, and it is eminently just "that they should be forced to pay heavily for the protection given them." French. Government Fears Wine growers. The revolt of the winegrowing population in the south of France, which went into effect Monday, is causing considerable apprehension in government circles. By the terms of the resolutions which half a million people at Montpelicr swore with uplifted hands to execute, the depart mental, city, town and communal of ficials must resign and the inhabi tants will refuse to pay taxes unless Parliament affords relief. The situation is all the more grave because it constitutes a unanimous protest of the population, and being unaccompanied .by disorder furnishes the government with no pretext to resort to force. Marcellin Albert the leader of the movement was until two months ago. an obscure winegrower of Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as a "redeem er" and seems to hold the south of France in the hollow of his hand. His orders are implicitly and unquestion ably obeyed, and by the powers of or ganization with which he is endowed, he has proven himself to be a born leader of men; It is realized among the hot-blooded people of the south that such a man might fire a formid able revolution. The government's bill providing for the suppression of the manufact ure of fraduler.i wine came up in the Chamber of deputies Monday after noon, but beyond passing this bill the government can do little as the ex perts who have investigated the con ditions having found that the real depression was caused by overpro duction, for which even the rigorous suppression of fraud will be no rem edy. The only solution they report is the abandonment of much of the wine acreage in favor of regular farm crops and! truck gardening. The outlook has caused much agiItation in the press. The Aurore Lays it thinks the government should v it would retsore tranquility, why liestreat the impoverished wine-growers as if they had been overtaken by a catastrophe and distribute money for their relief. "It would cost several milions," the paper added, "but if it would restore tranquility, why hesitate?" The Echo de Paris says the government undoubtedly has th. right to arrest M. Albert, the leader of the movement, but it dreads the consequence of such action. . The paper further asserts that the government "can not yield to-the anti-republicans illegal and anti-patr:o4ic challenge. Root Will Visit Mexico. Washington, D. C.June 9. Ambassador Crel of Mexico today presented to Secretary Root an autograph letter from President Diaz of Mexico, invit ing Mr. Root to come to Mexico as the guest of the Mexican republic. Mr. Root has accepted the invitation, notifying President Diaz through Am bassador Creel that he will visit Mex ico in the latter part of the summer. His visit will be in furtherance of his policy of encouraging friendly rela tions with dl the Central and South American republics. Little Girl's Complaint Little Helen, at the close of her evening prayer, said: "And O, God make me a rood girl I asked you to yesterday, but you didn't.

Cabrera Slain, Mexican Report President Cabrera of Guatemala,

was assassinated Sunday, according to private dispatches received in the City of Mexico. While the report has not been confirmed, there is good ground lor the belief, in as much as a conspiracy has been on foot for months with the Idling of Cabrera in view. There is also a report here that there is a conspiracy on foot to unite the five Central American states of Costa Rica, Guatemala ' Honduras, Nicaragua and San Salvador under one government, with President J. Santos Zelaya of Nicaragua as the temporary head. The Mexica; gov ernment and the Pan-American Rail way company are backing the scheme, and official Washington is said to be fuly aware of the plans, but is winking at it all. Zelaya, with his army of 10,000 men, last March 25 routed the com bined armies of Salvador and Honduras at Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, and President Manuel Bonilia fled from Honduras with what money he could seize. That war is sajd to have started with a dispute about the theft of a mule by Nicaraguan cavalrymen from a Honduran, but the outbreak of hostilities is said to have been only a cloak for the great scheme to unite the states into one, so as to wrest from their stores of mineral wealth and to build a railroad thai will make it possible to reach the isthmus of Panama trdm New York by rail. Read to Fight for King. Count of Santa Eulalia, Chicago consul of the king of Portugal, would lay aside the arts and wiles of the gallant for the armor of grim war. He has not taken the warpath, but he is eager for the smell of powder. He has read of the troubles that have come to his ruler and has offered his services to his king. He did it in the form of the following letter, dispatched to Lisbon: Sire: It is with indignation 'that 1 see in the American newspapers that there are people in Portugal of such miserable sentiments that remember the destitution of my august sovereign. I do not believe that this news has any influence on the great spirits of your majesty to whom I come to swear fealty and to beg you .to dis pose of m chest and aTm if they can be of use to my lord and king. "Ze. soldier is ze man of ze fewwords he explained, "and " will decline to say anything more. My letter to my .king speaks." Cable stories from Europe telling of an approaching upheaval in Port ugal were the cause of the letter. The king recently announced "that he would 'rule entirely by royal decree The count has remained quiet since his recent return from California, He sought the Pacific coast several months ago at the end of a crisis. when he was compelled to prove his title and his position. He said that Bishop Silva, his guest at the time, still tarrie in 'San Francisco. Chicago Tribune. Rapa President äs a Hunter. George P. Angell, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals, feels rather bitterly toward President Roosevelt because bf the latter's attack on "nature fak ers," and especially the criticism on Rev. William J.5 Long. In the next issue of Our Dumb Animals, the official publication of the society, Mr. Angell will say, over his own signature: "Roosevelt's books are steeped in the blood of wanton slaughter, and .he revels in the telling of the wounding of beasts, the killing of fawns and mother animals, and of the disregard of the unwritten laws of camp life. Far from being the foremost author ity on American mammals, Theodore Roosevelt has written himself down as. being not even a true sportsman. Sues for Shattered Heart. A pathetic story of a broken engagement was told in the common pleas court at Cincinnati, by Fannie Crosbyt a cigarmaker, who sued' Frank D. Brown", a wealthy candy manufacturer, for $20,000 damages. , The plaintiff told of the days when her former suitor was struggling to get his start in life, 16 years ago, and became engaged to her. She related their conversation as they planned the home he was to build for her and of their other air castles. After she had waited 13 years for his sake, supporting herself meanwhile by making cigars, she said he broke her heart three years ago by telling her that he could not stoop to marry a poor cigarmaker. Boj Flies in Own Ship. Columbus, Ind., June 10. Cromwell Dichson, 15 years old, yesterday made a successful flight with an airship of his own construction at the Columbus Driving Park. The airship, which is about thirty feet long, follows the model of the modern dirigible balloon Instead of a motor a foot power mechanism used to drive the propeller, the boy operating it after the fashion of riding a bicycle. Young Dickson remained in the air an hour and apparently had perfect control of the airship, which he directed at will. ADVERTISED LETTERS. GENTLEMEN.

OBITUARY.

Gottlieb SchaaL Gottlieb Schaal was born in Wert enberg, Germany, Nov. 9th, 182'J, and died at his home north of Plymouth June 4 ,1907, aged 77 yearst G months and 25 days .He came to America in 1831 and settled in Crawford county, Ohio, where he was married to Dianna Shupp, October 28th, 1832. In 18S0 he moved to Marshall county, where he resided until his death. There were born to 'MY. and Mrs. Schaal twelve children, five sons and seven daughters. Two sons and one daughter preceded him to the spirit world. There are left to mourn a wife, two sisters, nine children and twenty-two grandchildren, tnree great grandchildren and a large circle of friends. He became a christian when but twelve years of age and was a faithful member of the United Brethren church for many years. He lived his religion in his home, in his business, yea, everywhere. His funeral service was1 held in the Pleas ant chapel cnurch five miles north of Plymouth last Thursday, conduct ed by Rev. O. F. Land.", and interment was made in the cemetery just across the way from the church. Brother Schaal 'was a good neigh bor, a loving husband, a kind father, a devout christian. Yes, another good citizen has gone; but our loss is his gain. Stiles. Mary Elizabeth Siddall was born in Cass county, Ind"., April 20, 1852, and died June 8th, 1907 at her home 6 miles northeast of Plymouth, agetl 55 years, 1 month and 18 days. She was married to Thomas Utiles Nov. 2, 1870. She was a devoted mother to seven children, five of whom with kind and affectionate husband, mourn htr death. The children arc Charles of Tyner, Mrs. Daisy. Miller of Plymouth, Thomas Jr., of Plymouth and Delbert and Essie at home. She leaves also an aged father, five sisters and five brothers, she be ing the first of a family of eleven children to depart from this life.

Eleven Men Lost with Launch. Six midshipmen, a boatswain, and four sailors, eleven men in all, were drowned after midnight Tuesday night somewhere between the exposition pier at Jamestown and the battleship Minnesota's 'anchorage in Hampton Roads. Jews of this, the heaviest loss thai the naVy.has met since the Spanish war, was conveyed to the navy department by Admiral Evans after he had delayed telegrahping for hours in the vain hope of reassuring news. A launch in which the midshipmen and sailors were to return from, the exposition to the battleship Minnesota left the exposition pier at midnight. A gale had lashed up a heav sea in the roads. That is all that k known of the tragedy, except that the kitty box of one of the sailors was picked up, confirming the worst fears. The conclusion reached at the navv department was that either on account of the lateness of the hour of the return trip the Minnesota's launch in its haste had been driven hard into the heavy sea that prevailed in Hampton Roads Tuesday night or that the little boat had been run down by some of the giant tramp steamers that make use of the roids as a' refuge in time of storm. Because of their youth and very recent entry into the naval service the young officers who were lost were not widely known outside of the naval academy. Midshipman Henry C. Murfin Jr., was a native of Ohio and . a member of the second class at th naval academy. Like the otlfer. he had been sent aboard the battleship Minnesota for a summer course of instruction to afford the practical education necessary to suppl ment the theoretical , work at the naval academy. All the lost except Midshipman F. P. Holcomb were attached to the Minnesota. He was attached to the Connecticut and is supposed to have taken passage . onN the Mirfhesota's missing launch. Acting Secretary of the Mavy Newberry sent telegrams to the relatives of Lieut. Randall and other victims of the accident, notifying them of the disappearance of the Minnesota's launch. The Scarcity of Good Horses, The farmer who has good horses to sell can commaird almost his ow;i price for them, for buyers are ransacking the country for desirable animals. Said a buyer the other day: Yes, we are in the midst of a horse famine right. Three times as many horses are demanded in almost every market as are received and prices are high everywhere. The farmers it seems have quit breeding horses. They thought for a time that automobiles were going to relegate the horse to the rear and they thought they could put their money into, something more profitable than breeding horses. The Boer war first and then the Japanese war cleaned out all the extra horses in the country and help ed to bring about a famine. I believe that prices are likely to go even high er. Killed by Burglars. Columbus Crow, town marshal of Shirey City, 15 miles northeast , of Fort Wayne, was shot and killed early Friday by burglars while they were looting a saloon.
