Only Republican Newspaper in the County. HENDRICKS & COMPANY TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Indiana, January 30r 1908. And new comes the Honorable (?) and proposes to give a banquet and "toast" to the lucky contestants and a "roast" to the unsuccessful ones. Great head on that man Metsyker. j j J The father of one of the young lady contestants' state that Mctsker reduced his graft offer from $100 to $i0. As this young lady received an increase of over half a million votes during the last week of the contest, it is likely her father "got busy" a few hours before the votes were counted. The twice convicted gambler and arch grafter has his old time poker friend "Javvn" in a new role that of ed-iting the Tribune. Quite a joke isn't it? He certainly has no more interest in The Tribune than John Floscnzier, Barney Ocker and Lorie Capron have in the Plymouth Democrat. J Jß THE PIANO GRAFT. The voting contest was so fairly conducted that not a single objection was raised. When such men as Dr. Lindquist, Dr. Hitchcock Prof. B. F. Carey. Attorney L. M. Lauer. Dr. C. H. Metsker and County Assessor Leonard take charge of the counting of votes, the public is assured of absolute fairness. Furthermore, they did their work in the presence of over a hundred interested friends of the contestants. Independent. No one ruestions the veracity ol those who tounted the votes, but how about the entleman (?) who puts the tickets into the cage before the canvassers sorted to count? The very fact that Metsker wants to make it so strong that his graft was on the square is sufficient to convince any one" that the HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH got the piano, and the manipulating was done before the canvassers began their work. -VINDICATED AGAIN" NIT. And so Metsker the Unholy is a self-confessed liar. Why was not his article of apology, and retraction, entitled "Vindicated Again?" Like all low down, sneaking liars, after he was driven to hi corner by Mayor Logan and Marshal Jacaby. and forced to retract the false statements that he published concerning them boh, be seeks to cast the blame for his 1!, upon another. When taken to task by "Marshal Jacoby, for the false articles which appeared in Thursday's issue of the Independable, he sought to nigger out, by saying that he got mos't of his information from the Plymouth Chronicle. A nice place for him to gather news. To his 125 readers, he tries to put the blame, for circulating the false report, on Mr Wolford. Metsker may be able to escape from law by technical points, but these .will avail him nothing in the opinion of the community of which he is an unhappy member. Tho Republican Party. Once in four years the party meets in National Convention to affirm it.? principles r.nd define its position on new issues. The delegates are chosen in hundreds of smaller conventions reaching into every neighborhood throughout the country. These delegates, coming from forty-six states and the territories are recognized by the convention as free to exercise their individual judgment ' and as equal parts of an unfettered whole. The burden of their deliberations is the political problems of the day. Some of these may present themselves unexpectedly, but a competent party, when this occurs, will rise to the occasion. Upon the Republican party since it was formed has devolved many responsibilities of the first order. It was charged with saving the Union, and there was no way o do it except by a mighty civil war. Slavery was swept away arid reconstruction accomplished. Questions of national development have been dealt with as they take form from time to time. The list from the homestead law down to the statutes of the last Congress is vast and beneficienL This is the business for which the Republican party exists, and in which many eminent men who have passed away have had a share as patriots, not as self-seekers or exponents of self-importance. Weiser's Bugle Note. Dr. William A. Weiser of South Bend, whose ambition to be the Democratic candidate for congress was mentioned some months ago, has had his picture and his platform published in the Bourbon Advance. The platform fills eleven columns of the Advance, and closes as follows: "I close giving three cheers for the red, white and blue, and the state constitution of Oklahoma. We have a Folk, a Johnson and others, but the man who is near the hearts of the masses is Hon. William Jennings Bryan. I am for our peerless leader, one of the world's greatest statesmen and his isuues for our next president. May the Goddess of Liberty through God's power carry us to victory for pure government."

AU Against Reuterdahl. A Washington dispatch says: The

report of the special commission. consisting of Rear Admiral Cap,js and Converse, appointed by the President to investigate criti ''sir.s of tlw navy made by Hen,' Rcim-rdaM and sustained by some of the most prominent officers in the service, is now complete, and will be transmit ted to the President. The reports finds that the charges cf Reuterdahl. except in minor instances, are unfounded. It absolves Lieutenant-Commander Sims, the President's naval aid, who is charged with furnishing Reuterdahl with information. It is shown that the Navy Department invited Reuterdahl aboard the vessels, and his criticism followed these invited trips. It emphatically denounces the attempt to create the impression that vessels of the United States navy are useless junk which should be relegated to the scrap heap. The report leaves Rear Admirals Melville and McCalIat whose criticisms have been bitter and sweeping, in a bad light. It means that they must deny the statements attributed to, .y them or else stand court-martial. Lieutenant Commander Sims has never publicly criticised the navy, and the only charge against him was that he had furnished Reuterdahl with information. He is absolved from this, as it is shown that it was not he but the Navy Department which extended the invitation to Reuterdahl to visit the ships, and it was from observations on these trips that he deduced the facts upon which he based his criticisms. The naval constructors of " the Goermnrnt have bee l vindva;e-! for, .h.'U minor defect in w.ir-hlp building which were known to the public years ago, are admitted, Reuterdahl's criticisms of the navy are shown to be without foundation ;n fact. Foraker Refuses to go to Same Banquet With Taft Senator Foraker has declined the Tippecanoe Club's invitation -to attend the McKinley memorial banquet next Wednesday evening, at Cleveland, Ohio, at which Secretary of War Taft is to be the principal speaker. Senator Foraker has written President Tredwa that it will be impossible for him to attend. He gave no reason for declining the invitations. President Treadway said that he bad received no reply to the invitation sent ten days ago to Senator Dick, who is now in Washington. Secretary Taft, who will be the last speaker of the evening, will talk on "ihe Republic." The memorial address will be -delivered by Dr. Paul F. Sutphen, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church. J. : W. Griggs, who was United States attorney general during President iMcKinley' administration, will speak on "The Grand Old Party," while Congressman D. E. Mcfvinley of California, will discuss 'Ohio and the Pacific Slope." Legislate Against Sombrero. The Mexican sombrero is to be taxed out of existence in the city of Guadalajara. The city council of that place has passed an ordinance taxing each sombrero manufactured and sold in the town $1. The measure is intende'd as a step in reforming the headgear worn by the men of the lower class. It rs said that the cone shaped sombrero is unsightly and out of date; that it belongs to a past age and should now be discarded for more modern shaped hats. It is probable that the legislature of the state of Jalisco of which Guadalajara is; the capital, will enact a similar law. Gov. Miguel AhumanJa favors? such action and he will likely recommend the passage of the law in his next message to the law making body. If the city council finds that the tax of $1 a hat is not high enough to stop their sale in Guadalajara, the tax will be raised to a prohibitive figure. Japan Has Stopped Emigration to Hawaii. Evidence of the determination of the Japanese government is shown by an official order issued to emigration companies Saturday wherein all emigration to the Hawaiian island1 is absolutely prohibited except in the case of relatives of Japanese already residing thre. The order bearing on emigration to the Hawaiian islands has created consternation among the emigration companies who expected to institute a virulent attack upon the foreign office polic in this respect. Viscount Hayashi, however, is determined not to yield to and savs that the . Japanese government having given a promise will not 'recede from it, regardless of political pressure. Standard Inquiry. Resumed. Inquiry into the operations of the Standard Oil Company in its relations, with the railroads, was resumed in Wasihin&ton Thursday before Judge Frnklin J. Ferris, examiner, in the hearing room of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The purpose of the inquiry in Washington is to develop the tariffs filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission on oil by the various railroads carrying freight from Whiting, Ind., Olean, N. V., and other places! yvhere the Standard has located oil refineries. The suit was instituted originall" in St. Louis, Mo., by the Government for the dissolution of the Standard Oil company and for the annulment of its charter. Says; Watson is in the Lead. According to an estimate printed in the South Bend Tribune, Congress man Watson is in the lead for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. To be exact Watson has 5.T7 Charles Miller 330, Hugh Miller 2Ü7 and Taylor 231. As 734. votes are necessary for a choice none, has enough votes to pull through on the first ballot, j

S. PRINCIPALS HOLD MEETING. Preliminary Plans for Field Meet Are Made. A meeting of the principals of the high schools in the Northern Indiana Interscholastic Athletic association Was held Saturday afternoon in the office of Superintendent Wood at th high school building at Laporte. Those present at the meeting, in addition to Principal Deamer of LaPorte, were W. E. Hill of Hammond, M. C. Murray of Michigan City, J. V. Hartman of Mishawaka, and O. O. Whitncck of South Bend. Preliminary steps were taken for the coming field day meet. On the evening of the field day contests in declamation will be heldt with High School students participating. Principal Hill of Hammond is president and Principal Murray of Michigan City, is secretary of the association. The meet will be held at Hammond, Saturday, May 11. Artistic Commerce. Much has been siaid concerning Ihe commercializing of art, of the books that have been written, the pictures painted, under the spell of dollars, but little notice has been paid to the other side of the matter to the artistic quality that is creeping ino commerce and imparting grace and dignity to commercial life. It is not only tha't all over the cities and towns little shops where articles marie in the true William Morris spirit of joy in the creation are for sale, and where not only the articles themselves but the paper they are wrapped in, the string that tics them, and ye st, the bill that accompanies t'icni reveal the "artistic touch," but even in the larger stores there is betrayed that same tendency to 'make of the bartering of goods an attractive and harmonious proceeding. Even the advertisement of today, lurid and unlovely as it appears when cen upon signboards, reveals in its' more diminufive forms a skill in drawing and a Hterary quality in the wording not hitherto observed, while those that are sent through the mails are often treasured for their uniqueness. It has come to be generally acknowledged that a walk through a certain part of the bus-mess district of Chicago is sure to be attended by the most inspiriting glimpses of attractive goods, of artistic interiors, and even of harmonious arrayed disposers of goods, and it is this artistic quality in conimf rcialism that is going to help realize the civic ideal a city beautiful, of an art which, as William Morris said, "will make our streets as beautiful as the woods, as elevating as the mountain sides." Chicago Tribune. Pennsy's Fire Loss. Lighted cigarettes and matches :hrown carelessly around inflammable material, caused nearly 20 5 per cent of the cne fire loss suffered by the Pennsylvania lines east and west of Ittsbur- in 1907, is ?n item brought prominently to the attention of the company officials and employs in the anntril leport just issued by Superintendent of the Insurance Department of II. Newbern and General Manager G. L. Peck. In the report it is shown that during the year 1007 j.ist ended there occurred on the companv system 1,424 fires, the total ioss of wnich aggregated $20,101.03. Of this number seven were caused by th: "lighted cigarette and matches -nJ the los accredited to this cam: aim-: aggregated $49,833.40, an inoun: greater than from any single caitc cnumctated in the report, without exception. Not even the wreck demon.- from wlrch many disastrous fires result could not eclipse thj (gare::? and lighted match losses. Tno next highest loss was $16,716.59, whi-h .va-: sustained in the total btnn'ng cr partial damage of 758 cars through fires originating from hot ashes or coke, in distributing the repo't, the company officials take occati .i to admonish the employes to be iud.'c careful in the use of matches, an I it is probable' that the company may follow the suit of the Sante Fe and a large number of other big railroad systems in promptly dischargin from its service any employe wh i is addicted tj the c'garctte habit. Blood 19 Her Fortune. Mrs. Retta Curry of Greenfield, Ind., daughter of George Knox, the colored barber of Indianapolis', is prepared to establish her claim as being one of the numerous heirs" to an estate of $40,000,000 through the Cherokee Indian blood. A few years ago the "Cherokee strip" was opened to settlement, the Government purchasing the lard from the tribe. The money was placed :n trust and has been drawing interest, awaiting its division among the Cherokee heirs. Mr. Knox, of Indianapolis, who formerly lived in Greenfield, said that he was related to the Cherokees and has now established his claim. Mrs. Curry Friday received papers to &ign that will prove her relationship, it is said. Mr. Curry is the best known colored woman in Hancock county. She is a talented musician and hair dresser and manicurist. She conducts the only establishment of this kiml in Greenfield. Mrs. Curry has aUo a son and daughter who are musicians. Panic in Dowagiac Theater. An audience of about 150, mostly women and children, was thrown into a panic Thursday night by a fire in a moving picture theater opened at Dowagiac, 'Mich. The fire started from the picture machine located near rihe combined entrance and exit, but all in the audience escaped, some getting out through the regular exit and others crowding their way through the stage entrance. No one was seriously injured, but the twostory frame building was destroyed, and several adjoining buildings were threatened.

MADE DEATH DOUBLY SURE.

Lovelorn Warsaw Youth Used Chloroform and Gas to End, Life. Presumably because his love for a well known young woman was not requited, Guy Hash, iged twentythree, committed suicide at Warsaw, Saturday night in his room at Mrs. Melissa Sapp's boarding house, on Jefferson street. The young man was the son of A. J. Hash of Goshen, and was employed as a waiter in a Warsaw restaurant. For two years he had been keeping company with Miss Myrtle Winebrenner, a daughter ' of William Winebrenner, a prominent citizen. He was with her Saturday evening, and it is supposed she refused to marry him, as when he returned to his room he prepared for his death. He had provided himself with chloroform, with which he saturated a towel. Wrapping the towel about his head, he turned on the gas and lay down. His non-appearance at breakfast or during the forenoon did not excite comment, but he did not come down for' dinner either, and about 2 o'clock Mrs. Sapp noticed gas fumes in the house and traced them to Hash's room. When she entered the apartment she found the young man cold in death. The remains were removed to the Rhodes undertaking rooms and an inquest was held Monday. Mrs. Ted O'Conner of Goshen, and formerly of Milford, is a sister of the deceased. A Present-Day Utopia. The happiest and most beautiful spot on earth today is the island of Moorca, ojie of the Sandwich islands in the South Seas, says Hugo Parton, in the Outing Magazine. When ever thirsty a word will send a lithe, brown body scrambling up a tall palm tree trunk, and in two minutes a green cocoanut is ready for you to quaff the nectar of the Polynesian gods. It is worth the trip down there to eat the native "vittals" for you get at every meal things you never tasted before, and each seems better than its predecessor. - To see your dinner of fresh water-shrimps, sharks' fins and roasted sea urchins. The bananas you eat there are eleven varieties baked, raw, fried, nricd, grow a few rods back in the valley, ditto the bread fruit, the pineapples and about everything else on the board. It's nice to have your morning coffee grown in the backyard. Guaves growin such profusion they are used U9 pig food, grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while sensitive plant is considered excellent fodder for cattle. For perfection of the human body the Tahitan is unexcelled, if indeed he is anywhere equajed. They are a large race, both men and women being noticeably taller and more fully developed than Anglo-Saxons. Every man looks like a picked athlete, with sloping shoulders and bared chest. A crowd of them together reminds one of the scene in a "locker building" toward the end of the fall when the varsity squad is narrowel down and the afternoon's practice is just over. I doubt if any Society island :r ever went through a whole day in lis life without having a wreath of lowers on his hcal or z blossom behind his ear. The love of flowers is innate with man. woman and child; they can't jass through a patch of woods without emerging with a garland. Every gay mood calls for flowers n their hats, in their hair, behind their cars and their life is an almost unbroken sequence of gay moods. Scarcely a native on the Island of Moorea can speak a sentence of English, but every one you" meet greets you with a courteous smile and the welcoming words "Ii-ora-na" (Yörana). Are no Coroners in Oklahoma. George 'A. Hcnshaw, assistant attorney general, holds in an opinion just given out that there are in Oklahoma no such offices as county weigher and coroner, and that the persons electetl to those offices in variouscounties on Sept. 17 cannot legally collect their salaries. While the offices were not provided for in the constitution, they were voted for in most of the counties of Oklahoma territory, where they had previously existed under the Oklahoma statute. While the offices were not provided for in the constitution, they were voted for in most of the counties of Oklahoma territory, where they had previously cvistcd under the Oklahoma statute. Judge Henshaw also holds that it will be the duty of the district judge throughout the state, when scntenc ing a prisoner to the state prison, to provide in the sentence that the prisoner be confined in the county jail until a suitable state prison has ben secured. Capitalists) to, Shinef Shoes. An indication of the important part that the nickels and dimes' of the public play in the everyday life of New York is the leasing of the bootblack privilege in the new twin McAdoo terminal buildings on Cortland street for twelve years at a rental aggregating $124 000. This is at the rate of $10,3:53 a year. To handle the apparently insignificant job of shining the shoes of the permanent and transient population of this immense building a corporation called the Hudson Terminal Bootblacking Company has been formed. The names of the men who arc putting up the money; have not been made public, but they are capitalists who have figured in deals involving millions. Help Seattle Exposition. The senate committee on industrial expositions Friday authorized Chairman Warner to make a favorable report on the bill providing for government participation in the AlaskanYukon exposition, which is to be held in Seattle beginning June 1, 100'.. The amount of the appropriation i be made w-s fixed at $7,000,000 to cover the cxhibiton of the United States, Alaska and Hawaii.

State Officials Will Visit Every Play House in Indiana. Following the inspection of Indianapolis theatres, which has just been finished, William E. Blakely, state factory inspector, announced that a general inspection of all the theatres in Indiana would be begun at, once. There are between 150 and 200 theatres in t' e ' state, and it is the opinion of Mr, Blakely that the theatres in the smaller cities of the state demand even a more rigid "inspection than those' in the large cities. After this inspection of buildings out in the state begins notices' will be sent to the managers of the theatres as soon as defects are found. If these orders are not complied .with the theatres will be closed at once. There is necessity for prohibiting portable lighting and heating - ar rangements in the smaller theatres, and this part of the work will be looked into carefully. Under the law of l'J05, which was enacted largely as' a result of the Iroquis horror, all theatres built, or remodeled since that date must.be provided with water curtains as well as the other protective appliances equircd of all theatres of whatever date or construction. Sweetheart of Lincoln Dies. A woman to whom Abraham Lincoln is said to have made a proposal of marriage in 1839, and who refused the offer of the young man who was destined to rank among the greatest Presidents of the United States, died in Sioux City, Iowa, Sunday at the age of 85 years. She was' Mrs. Mary Frances Reiley, granddaughter of Henry Var.derbergh, whom President Waslrngton appointed one of the firs' judges of the Northwest Territory. It was at Quincey,- 111., where Mrs. Reiley spent her girlhood and where" it is asserted she met and Avon the love of the young Lincoln. That his suit was not entirely in vain was evidenced throughout the later years of Mrs. Reiley's life. She idealized the martyr President. The queries of curious friends as. to the episode of her love affair .were turned aside by an expression of the tender veneration in which, she held his memory New Suits Filed. Emery Kincade, has brought suit against the estate of Mary Kauftran, deceased, ami . Henry H. Miller, ad ministrator, for' a claim of $792.86, which had been disallowed.

MAYOR SERVED NOTICE.

On Manager of Monte Carlo Girls to Keep Show Free from Vulgarity. In response to a demand that good morals be maintained in the city of Goshen. Mayor Köhler and Marshal Self Saturday night served notice on T. D. Sullivan, manager of the Monte Carlo Girls," who appeared at the New Jetferson. that the performance "must be kept free from all vulgarity. The mayor and entire police department remained to see the show in the determination to keep it on a plane of respectability. Two burlesques, "The Military Maids" and the "Female Seminary," were given. A Hebrew character comedian Was responsable for the laughs. The Monte Carlo Girls are very lim ited as to number and without talent. The only approach to a violation of the mayor's orders Saturday night was when a- woman done a sensational dance. ' She was not stopped. Between C00 and 700 men were present .to sec an exhibition of such a character that one of the kind will serve all needs here for a long time to come. All of the boxes were occupied, the main floor well filled and the gallery packed. A party of 30 came from New Paris and 11 from Syracuse. Goshen Democrat. Fear Mysterious Enemy. Henry T. Harrington, a wealthy Shrewsbury farmer, and his family, have barricaded themselves in their home at Worcester, Mass., and are well armed with shotguns, believing that they are marked for death by mysterious enemies. On July 31 Harrington was stabbed by a drunken man, who was later arrested and fined for the act. Early this month George Harrington, a son, was shot in the back, the bullet going within half an inch of a vital spot. Two days ago Harry Stanton, an employe on the farm, was choked and left for dead in his wagon some distance from the farm, the horse finding Us way home alone. It is supposed that he was taken for Harrington's son Wiiliam. Endorses Big Appropriation. .The Indiana Rivers and Harbors congress, in the convention just held at Indianapolis, adopted resolutions recommending the annual- appropriation by congress of $30,000,000 for the. improvement of rivers and harbors. A resolution indorsing the plan of Indiana Harbor citizens for a deeowater harbor there was passed to be recommended to congress. Women Who Wear WelL It Is astonishing how great a change & few years of married lifo often make In tho appearance and disposition of many women. Tho freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like tho bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a- faint oeho of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignoranco and neglect. Few young women appreciate tho shock to tho system through tho chango which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses which too often como with marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general health suffers wlien there Is deSirgement of the health of the delicate womarrtjorgans, so surely wheT"these organs re-established in health therce andjiftlvaWiire witness to the Tact In ree?Pid comeTtr yearly a, million womn have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorit Prescription It makes weak wornen strong and sick women well.
