The first attack on the proposed increase in the salaries of assistant secretaries of the several departments which the executive appropriation bill authorizes was made in the House when on a point of order raised by Mr. Macon of Arkansas they were all thrown out. He maintained that such increases if made, should be authorized by a separate bill. The proposed increase in the salary of the .supervising Architect of the Treasury was rejected on a point of order by Mr. Macon, who objected also to an amendment proposing an increase in the salaries of the territory judges of Arizona. Mr. Gaines, in asking Mr. Macon to withdraw his objection, remarked that it was only technical. This so nettled Mr. Macan that he protested: "It is strange that a representative cannot undertake to discharge his duties as he sees them without some one being called upon to read hinr a lecture." Discord as to Macedonia Threatens Serious Results. What is practically the break up of the European concert on the Macedonian question has come as a shock to the chancel leries of the continent and Eng land. The assent of Germanv to the management of Moroccan af fairs by France, the conclusion of agreements to maintain the status quo in the Mediterranean, an dthe opening of negotiations looking to treaties that should accomplish a similar purpose will: regard to the Xorth sea seimt'l to make the possibility of differences arising among the powers remote. The conferences' of the ambas sadors at Constantinople also ap peared to be going on smoothly when a bomb was thrown into camp by the announcement made bv Uaron Marschall von Uierber stein, the German ambassador. that Germany would no longer act with the other powers in in sisting that Turkey consent to their demands. As to the cloud that has arisen between Russia and Austria Hungary over the projects for railroad extensions in Macedonia of the latter state, the right of Austria-Hungary to secure a concvession for the Nobipazar rail- , road line and the justice of Ger3 Jliuui iiuj: iiv.1 an? aiv vv. ognized in England, but it is con tended that the present time is inopportune for the raising of this point. It is now said that the official breaking up of all these interna tional understandings will aggra vate the Macedonian question, reopen the whole near east prob lern, start a contest for railroad concessions which may lead to serious results, and enable Tur key to postpone the reforms for which the ambassadors have been working. Always Made Good. One reason why Genereal Si mon Cameron was able to main tain h'u ascendency in Pennsyl vania politics for so many years was due to the fact that he alwavs made good his promises. In 18C0, John Covode, for many years representative in congress from the W estmoreland district was intensely anxious to be renominated. He had gained na tional prominence and naturally felt desirous of adding to this Edgar Cowan, a bright young lawyer of Greensburg, became a candidate against Covode. He was immensely popular, and stood a fair chance of securing the nomination. Covode appealed to C? reron for assistance, and he got t. Cowan was taken in charge by Cameron, who promised to make him United States senator next year if he would get out of CovodeV way. Cowan assented. The politicians laughed at him for being so easy. But Cameron made good, according to promise. Cowan was triumphantly elected senator for six years, though he had never before held a political office, and had no thought of going so high when he entered the political arena. South Bend Times. Test of Anti-Trust Law. It was announced at Lexington Friday that tests are to be made in the higher courts of the indictments against the agents of the American Tobacco Company. Every buyer of the trust concern was indicted separately and the attorneys say if the anti-trust laws hold good, they are subject to the- largest amount in fines ever assessed against a corporation, not excepting the Standard Oil's $292 10,000 fine. They estimate that' the agents' concern made 4000 purchases each week for 4 weeks, not counting further back than this season, and that, should the maximum fine of $5,000 for each offense be assessed, the total fine would amount to $80,000,000; or, even if only the minimum fine was assessed, it wouldamount to $8,000,000. While this burden would come m met t Ii rnmnnn v T nrri i a prison sentence to which agents might be subjected. v

Hess ot this city, was the unanimous choice for judge, and Reuben R.Carr of Akron, was nominated lor me oifice of prosecuting attorney tor the 41st Judicial Circuit.

Plans for a five day convention are beirfg made by the Republi can national committee.constituting t the subcommittee on arrangements for that gathering The committeemen include Na tional Chairman Harry S. New. S(cretarv Elmer Dover, Charles F. Booker of Connecticut, Clay ton Powell .of Arkansas. D. W. Mul vane, of Kansas, ami E. E. Hart of Iowa. After the committee had made an inspection of the Coliseum at Chicage Friday with rred W Upham. it met at the Auditorium Annex to decide upon contracts for the printing of tickets for the convention. , . It was decided immediately that provision would have to be made for at least five davs. Some of the committeemen thought that they should be on the; safe side and provide for a week's ses sion, but the majority decided that five days would allow even a deadlock convention to run its course. Although thus taking prccau tions for a stubborn fight in the convention, a majority of the committeemen present declared unhesitatingly for Taft, Mr. Mulvane said Kansas would be for the Ohio candidate, Gen. Powell delivered Arkansas, and Mr. Hart handed over Iowa . William F. Stone of Maryland, sergeant at arms of the commit tee, declared his state for Taft, and Secretary Dover did not have to predict, Ohio already having declared for itself. ' Plans for the general seating arrangement at the convention hall were submitted by Arthur G. Brown, the arcihtect in charge of the rearrangement, for the final approval of the -committeemen. They will provide for"ll,180 seats and provide also for the necessary committee rooms and for the installation of telephone and telegraph instruments. "No News in the Paper." Frequently you pick up one of the local papers, and after glancing at the headlines wearily, thrust it aside, remarking: "Nothing in the paj)er today.' Did you ever stop to think what phase "Nothing in the paper today" means? It means that in the day or week just passed that no misfortune has befallen any one in our city; that no fire ha.-: wiped out a neighbor's worldly goods; that the grim angei of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, has taken the life of a fellovvman; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or the misdeeds of some other, has crossed the great divide by his own hand. So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn't announce a tragedy ; give a little thanks instead of grunting because there is no news. Nevada Mail. A Truth Well Stated. No thinking person can deny the truth of Mr. Bryan's statement made in the course of his lecture that while the Bible is full of mysteries, the people who endeavor to live up to what they can understand of the teachings of the good book have the least time to discuss the seemingly contradictory statements within its pages. If all lived up to the admonishments toward right living and high, ideals that are so plainly set forth as to be readily understood by even the intellect of youth, they would have little time to worry about what they did not understand. South Bend Times. Not an Evolutionist. In the course of a recent lecture Mr. Bryan remarked that while he did not object to other people holding to the doctrine of evolution as an explanation of the origin of human life and was perfectly willing that they who wjshed should trace their family trees back to monkeys, he did strenuously object to. being classified among these people.

LOCALS LOSE

TO ROCHESTER PLYMOUTH BASKET BALL TEAM IS DEFEATED BY ROCHESTER IN FAST GAME BY SCORE OF 46 TO 36. The local high school basket ball team, lost an exceedingly fast game to the Rochester five, at the opera house Friday even ing by a score of 40 to oö. Rochester has an exceptionally strong high school team, doing first class team work, anu also in throwing baskets. The line ups were Plymouth Rochester McLaughlin c Barr Alexander f Rees Kuhn g Hambaugh Suitzer g Goss Zumbaugh f Barnhart Held throws made by Rochester were, Barr '.), Rees 7, Barnhart I.

The local boy. say that the Rochester team is composed of first class, congenial fellows, and hope they come again. The Swearing Habit. The Chicago police are to be issisted in breaking off the bad habit of swearing by the enforcement of a rule which makes the :ost of swearing a discharge from the force. This should provide an effective restraint, and it is hoped that the example of the reformed police may have an inlluence upon undisciplined citizens. - Chicago, it seems, has a bad reputation a a swearing center. Howard Sprogh. the attorney for the civil service commission ers, says that "more profane language is heard in public places in Chicago in a day than is heard in an eastern city in a year." If this is so, Chicago is rough indeed. For all the United States is cursed with cursing. Perhaps, Philadelphia from which Mr. Sproglc came, is an exception, but when an American lands in New York after a tour in England the first thing he notices is the profanity. ... He hears it on the docks and he is astonished by it in the, hotels. His trip away from the country makes him realize it as he had never realized it before, and he is shamed bv a custom that he accepted previously in the regu lar order of things. Nor is this a custom or habit that is encouraged in cities only. A resident of one of our college towns who had been taking a tramp in the country, returned recently with the impression that the people talked chiefly in cuss owrds. Profanity was abundant on every hand and aws generally the sign of a lamentable paucity of ideas. Few men who have succumbed to the habit are proud of it and most men wllo have done so would like to be rid of it. They will approve, the rules that corporations have adopted to pre vent swearing by their employes and the attempt that is being made to discipline it out of the police. Possibly they might even welcome discipline for them selves if they are outside the classes named though this is considerably short of a certainty. Record-Herald. Gary Episcopalians Get $10,000. The General Assembly of the Episcopal church has voted an appropriation of $10,000 for til? purpose of aiding in building a church at Gary.

YOUNG THIEF

IS CAPTURED FRANK DAVAL, 16-YEAR-OLD HORSE THIEF, IS CAUGHT NEAR WYATT HORSE AND BUGGY RECOVERED. Frank Daval, the lG-vear-old boy who stole a three-year-old horse and buggy belonging to John F. Baker, was found near i yatt, about 10 miles north of Bremen, Friday even inc. and has been brought to this city and placed in jail, lie had attempted to sell the horse and buggy to a Mr. Anthony for $75. Anthcnv suspected that the outfit was stolen and he told young Daval that he would have to remain on his fa mi and work for him about a week before he would have the money. Mr. Baker and Milt. Hevde of Bremen crossed the young thief's trail Thursday and soon located him. Young Daval had been working for Baker since the first of January. About that time Baker found him lying alongside the road near the fair grounds, sick and moaning with the cold. Baker took him in and gave him work when he grew well enough. Tuesday morning the boy hitched the colt to the buggy, anc drove off with it. When he failed to return that evening, Mr. Baker suspected that the horse had been stolen, and at once took steps to recover his property. Word was received from Bremen that the lad had taken a meal near that place, and Baker followed his. trail from there. The boy and rig were found on the farm of Mr. Anthony near Wvatt. The boy puts up a sad tale. His father and mother are both dead, the father and four brothers having been killed in a mine explosion. He was unacquainted with the roads about the county, and his theft together with other actions show him to be weak-minded. H was brought before Justice Young Saturday evening when he entered a plea of jruiltv. In default of a $200 bond, which was the amount that the ric was valued at he was bound over to the circuit court, and was committed to jail. MR. BURR NOW PROBING. Postoffice Inspector Has a Num ber of Violations Drawn to His Attention. Postoffice Inspector A. R. Burr, of Fort Wayne, is investigating some alleged violations of the jKstal laws which have been brought to his notice by several postoffice officials. The most of the complaints which will receive attention from the inspector are those which come about through the persistency of people enclos ing reading matter in packages of merchandise, a violation upon which there is a hcavv penalty in case of conviction. Those who are the most common violators of the law in that respect are people who mail packages of tobacco tags and coupons for which they expect to receive a premium from the wholesale house. These peo pie invariably place a letter inside the package of merchandise. stating the number of coupons within and the premium desired There are also others, according to the inspector, who should know better than to follow the practice and who are most liable to arrest on account of their fre qucnt offenses. Among the ones who use the mails for a double purpose are jewelers who send spectacles to customers and who generally write a note telling what should be done by the user of the glasses to get the best results. Dry Town to Shrink. I'.ecause beer has ' fallen under the ban of the lav in Diamond, Ind., a mining town near the edge of Parke county, fully one-half the residents of that place are preparing to hie themselves to Brazil in the spring and bring their houses with them Brazil has not yet felt the touch of the remonstrance and there the "suds" flow freely. Almost 1,000 peo ple are preparing to remove to Brazil as soon as the roads become hard enough to bear the weight of the buildings. Diamond is a town of about 2,000 population, the population in this case being a mixture of Italians, Austrians, French, F.nglish, Scotch and Welsh. As Brazil has miners' trains running to all the mines within twenty miles of Brazil, these miners can live in Brazil and reach their work just as easily as if they lived at Diamond at the additional expense of oily a dollar a mouth. The people of Perth, a mining town just a mile south of Diamond, face a similar situation and there promises to be a big ?nflux from these towns. It is probable that the Diamond citizens will buy land adjactnt to the city of Brazil and lay out a new addition on which they will locate their houses. Several stores will cme with the residents. January Interest on State Funds. Reports made to Oscar Hadley, treasurer of state, by the public depositories selected for state funds, sliow that the interest on state funds for January amounted to approximately $2,000. Interest checks from practically all of the depositories have been received, and it is believed the amount will not be less than $2,000, and may be more:

ALL' STEEL PASSENGER CARS FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK. Pennsylvania Railway Will Have Trains of Them Running Soon 85 Such Coaches Now Ready. Within sixty days at most and probably fooner passengers between Chicago and New York will have the privilege of traveling back and forth in anew type of car, the all steel, noncollapsible, noncombustible passenger coach which railroad men say. will entirely; supersede the old style wood and steel coaches. Announcement was made Saturdiv that the Pressed Steel Car company is completing for the Pennsylvan a railroad the largest order of stfeel passenger coaches ever placed. The order calls for eighty-five coaches to be used on the Pennsylvania's main line between Chicago and New York. The order was given some' time ago, but effort was made to keep it quiet until the cars were delivered. Many of the cars are completed the first of them will be delivered March 1, and all will be ready by April 1. The new cars are S'teel throughout. The floors are made of a combination of conrete and sawdust, whtch is noninflammable. The cars are eighty feet long and will be only a trifle heavier than ordinary wooden coaches. The order is the first extensive one for steel cars, although severr.1 roads have ordered two or three steel cars as an experiment and have found them successful. " Pennsylvania Shareholders.' According to figures given out by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to show the importance of the net earnings cf a railroad to a large number of people, the shareholders in the Pennsylvania compan , January 1, numbered 57,226, an increase of 6,370 for the year 1907. During the year the average holding decreased from 150 shares to 110 shares. The number of -women stochkolders increased from 19,2.'2 to 2tf,471, while the number o European investors in the stock grew from 7,753, December 31, 1906, to 9,149 one year later. The increase in total holders for the month of December, 1907, was 1,831. A compilation also has been made which shows that in the companies controlled ami directed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company there are for the lines east of PiütsLnrg 11111 shareholders, and in the companies west of Pittsburg 9,682 holders of stock. These make a total of 20,793 holders in all the subsidiary companies. A few hundred of these holders represent the Pennsylvania railroid proper, but approximately 20,000 are" entirely independent stockholders. These are in addition to the 57,226 investors in the parent company. Shonts SeJttles Meager $50,000 on Daughter After Her Wedding, Just $50,000 was the settlement made by Theodor P.

M'KEE DEFEATS PLAN. Logansport Mayor Secures Injunction Against Leader of Opposition in City Council. When the special meeting of the Ciiy Coiincil was railed at Logansjjort Monhay evening, Dr. J li. Hci'.ierington, the Instigator of the ordinances to impeach Mayo- McKee on :he charge of intoxication, 'was not present. He. was enjoined Monday af ternoon from acting as a councilman until the complaint of Mayor McKee, upon wWich the injunction was issued could be heard in the CircuU Court February 21. Tii is will prevent Ins acting as a councilman at the time set m tne ordinance for hearing the mayor's case 'Feb. 19. , Mayor McKee and his friends have played a haird which was not anticipated by flic loaders of the movement to jupeach him. When the Council meeting opened and the unexpected absence of Dr. Hetherrngton was mied, Roy Johnson, acting as spokesman for ;the opposition, made a motion to adjourn until Wednesday. It was a dramatic moment. The crowd waited for McKee to speak, and when he arose there was loud applause. He moved that the motion be amended. In an in&tant .John-son was on his fcec. He insisted that a motion to adjourn vas not debatable. McKee retorted that an amended moadjourn was "amendable, debatable ind reviöable." You gentlemen have draggevl me into thris thing in a manner you have nov right to do," he exclaimed. You have sr:x members of the Council present, one more than the two-thirds majority required to pass your ordinance over my veto, and I insist that you proceed wtth- your plans. I have acted fairly with you throughout, but you kept oh attacking me. Now go ahead w?thyour work." The four council men, Joe McNary, Roy Johnson, Fred Glover and C. Wiliam Fiddler, voced against the passage of their own measure, and the veto stands untiT the adjourned meeting Feb. 19, which will becalled but a few mlinutes before the time set for the mayor's trial. In the prayer for the injunction filed Monday afternoon, Mayor McKee charges that Hetherington is not a legal member of the Council because he is in the service of three corporations; that Hethcrngfon is prejudiced in the case because lie has expressed certain opinions, and that the ordinances prepared by Hetherington were illegal. Following the actüon of the Council Monday nighjt nothing remain but for Hetherington and the councilmen whom he leads to file the charges anew. Parrots Screamed Lustily and Saved Animal Barn.
