ZEbe tribune. Unly Republican Newspaper In the County. HENDRICKS& COMPANY PVSilSHSUS.'

TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bis sell Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postofhce at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Indiana, May 28, 1908. Another "scrub" editor want- the nomination for Congress. This time Barnhart of Rochester bobs up. What unlimited gall some of these pencil pushers have any way. Wonder if the unholy editor won't jump in next? JS Jt J The action of the common council Monday night in compelling the Inter urban Railway Co. to rim cars to the south city limits on Michigan street is commendable. The franchise given them is very valuable and if the company is not willing to give the city of Plymouth something in return the council should annul it. We venture to say however., this will not be done and it the i.:ie comes up from the south the road will - be built north otherwise we will have to wait awhile M J IT WONT HELP MOORMAN. When the reporter for the Independent rehashed the article mailed to him by District' Chairman Moorman, aspirant tJ the nomination for Congressman, telling all about "he" Miller, and "he' Moorman, and "he" Hendricks, said "he" Metsker did a rank injustice to the literary ability of "he" Moorman. We are sure that in the original copy Moorman used no such dictum. Either that or "he" Metsker dreamed that he was fram ing up a bill for "he" legislature. It is a known fact that throughout the entire 13th district, only two Republican newspapers are left which will make any endeavors to further the candilacy of Moorman. Thes; two papers are the Winamac Republican and Plymouth Chronicle, both of which papers have ''spite" as their only excuse for being. Chas. W. Miller is a winner. He is a clean cut politician. As the Tribune has oft repeated, he will be nominated unanimously, unless some beastly trick is worked by the old Brick machine which is highly improbable. It may be, that when the committee meets to act on the resignation of Moorman, that a ruse will be tried, namel--to have the Brick convention, with the old delegates, who are known to be most'y of machine tendencie . c -tiled to nonJnate Brick's su C( jsor. This will be running too great i risk with the party, however, and the convention will likeTy be fair. At present, the only papers in which any, pro-Moorman sentiment can be found are the Warsaw Union, Goshen Democrat, South Bend Times, and other Democratic paper" and once in a while the Plymouth Independent copies articles from the above newsoapers. f The article which appeared in Wednesday's Independable said that a $60 per year, job had been given S. E. Boys, editor of the Chronicle, because he oelonged to the "down and out club. It is: too bad that such a shot as that had to be taken at Mr. Boys, just to combat the impression that' the said article cam; from the pen of John L. Moorman. tjC A Good Man for Congress; The Republicans and Democrats of the Thirteenth congressional district have a serious duty before them in the selection of candidates for congress to be voted for next fall. It is the more so for the reason that the district has a reputation in congress to maintain and because the welfare of the district depends so largely on the character of its representative. A congressman must have ability to secure attention from his fellow members and to co-operate and reciprocate with them in gaining ends desired, and he must have the faculty of identifying himself so closely with the work of congress that he will be worth considering by all the interests. Some men with acknowledged ability do not posses this faculty. They might be In congress a quarter of a century and not accomplish anything, simply for the reason that they cannot mix and get into the swim. The plain duty of the tv?o leading pa-ties, or any other for that matter, is to nominate men who, if elected, . will be able to do something, men of experience in public affairs and the ability and disposition to make their experience available. Unless this is done the district, and not only the district but (the state, is: likely to suffer from inattention to its needs on the part of congress nd to become a minus qitanty when the forces that count for anything are called upon for action. The Thirteenth district should, in short, have a high class man in congress, one who could not or would not be overlooked, and the nomination of any other kind of a candidate probably means defeat.

STATE REFORMS

INTEREST NATION AT EASTERN CONFERENCE INDIANA INSTRUCTS OTHEP STATES HOW TO OPERATE GIRLS' SCHOOLS & WOMEN'S WORKHOUSE. In4. ;;n t stood well at the i nc 1.1 the Xit'onal Conference of Chan'.vs and Corection at Richmond Va., say Amos W. Butler, secretary of the "Indiana Board of State Chniiics, who hu just returned from P:ch mond. Representatives from other t.ites sought irequent conferences with indiana representatives in regal to the laws and charitable instiiu'ions of this State, but the one thing w seemed to interest them more than any other was the separation " th? girls' school from the Women's pri ¬ on. Among the many states which made inquiry as to the separation of the girls' school from the prison and the placing of the girls in an histitu tion outside the city where they do not feel the stigma of prison life was Massachusetts. Massachusetts nj otlnr States also made diligent in quiry in regard to the law by which c. i-i r i. .. i a Dtaie worKnouse ior women Jiau been established in Indiana. Ths was regarded as one of the most advanced moves in the charitable work of the United States. The Indiana Stat workhouse for Women is at the Woman's prison, and was created by an act of the last Legislature. Indiana was well represented when it came t making up the committees Among those who were appointed to committees and other positions were Alexander Johnson, Miss Laura Gree ley, the Rev. Francis II. Gavisk, Frank Flanner, H. E. Barnard. Mary Carmichael, John II. Holliday and Hilton U. Brown, of Indianapolis, and Marcus C. Fagg, of Evansville; A. E. Carroll, Ft. Wayne, and M. M I'irnard, Jeffersonville. A number oi former Indiana men who have attain ed prominence in other States attend ed the conference. Among these was Ernest P. Bicknell, formerly of Ind: anapolis, who was elected president of the conference; Dr. Walter Lindyyt formerly of Morgan county and at present superintendent of the Cali fornia Hospital, at Los Angeles; Dr H. W. Wiley, United States chemist. formerly of Jefferson county and Dr Frank Fetter, former' of Indiana University and now at(Cornell. The problems of the South took up a great deal of the time of the coiilerence, according to Mr. Butler, i'-ic South is now taking up the question of preventive measures and is consid ering the establishment of manual training schools,, and the. enactment of laws to prevent child labor and to compel attendance at school. These measures are being considered for the benefit of the blacks as well as the white "people. The American Prison Congress will l-e held at Richmond, Va., November 14, and plans for, this were pretty generally discussed at the national oenference. The attendance at the national conference greatly, exceeded that of former years', and there seems to be more interest now in the prison congress than ever before. FRIENDS BOOM CONN. W. S. Wells Says Northern Demo crats Want Elkhart Man in Senate There is a strong sentiment among the Democrats of northern Indiana in favor of C. G. Conn of Elkhart for United States Senator, according to W. S. Wells of Allen county. Mr. Wells, who was a member o the lynver House of the State Legis lature in the last session, nas recently been renominated. C. G. Conn was a candidate for Governor in the last Democratic state convention. "The Democrats of our part of the state want to see Mr. Conn in h United States Senate,' said Mr Wells. "He is popular not nly in his own district but ail over the northern part of the state." THE REV. W. A. QUAYLE IS ELECTED BISHOP Chicago Minister Chosen on Tenth Ballot at Methodist Conference; The Rev. William A. Quav,ie, o Chicago; was elected b'shop on the tenth harlot cast at the Methodist General Conference, in session a Baltimore. The ballot was taken Saturday afternoon, and the result was announced when the conference convened Monday. Dr. Quayle was formerly pastor of Meridian-street church, at Indianapolis. Dr. Yuayle is pastor of St. James church, Chicago. Many Plymouth people have listen ed to this man, one of the greatest talkers in the country. . Dr. Quayle delivered the address at the High School commencement in this city last June.

Buy Tickets or Pay Extra. On and after July 7 passengers on Ohio railroads will be charged a penpity of 10 cents unless they see the ticket agent 'before he goes on to the train. This is provided for on an amendment and applies to railroads doing business ia that state only. Th amended law permits the Ohio railroads to charge an extra 10 cents where the passengers fall to purchase a ticket and it provides that the ticket offices must be open not less than thirty minutes before the departure of the train. If the passenger can show that the picket office is not open it will be unlawful for the conductor to. charge the penalty.

COUNTIES LOSE

BY NEW RULING IN LATE OPINION BY ATTOR NEY GENERAL STATE WILL GET INTEREST ON $1,300,000 FOR FIFTY DAYS OF EACH YEAR. In an opinion just given James Binghahi, Atfbrney-Gencral, holds that the State Treasurer in settling with county treasurers shall not be required to accept depository certificates for common school tuition fund and, in effect, declares that a part of Section 19 of the public depository law is inoperative. This means that the State will receive interest on $1,300,000 for a period of fifty days each year, which otherwise would be distri buted among the counties. This part of the depository law was introduced at the request of bankers' out in the State, but on account of a little mis take in the wording it will fail to have the desired effect. That part of the law in question is as follows: "In all settlements made by the several county treasurers of the state with the Treasurer of State the Trca uerer of State shall accept from the county treasurer certificates of deposit isued by any authorized depository of any county in the State in payment of any settlement due the State on account of the common school fund collected by any such countv treas urer to any amount approximately equal to the sum of money to be re turned to any such county by the State on account of the common school distribution, which certificates of deposit shall ie returned to the county in the settlement of any amount due such county on account of such distribution" Those who framed this portion of the law evidently intended that it should apply to the common school tuition fund, and not tothe common school fund. This is evident because it is the common school tuition fund that is received from the counties, and then distributed back to them The common school fund remains in tact in the counties. It is increased by distribution by the State, but is never diminished. However, the At torney-General holds til at the term "common school fund" used in the law must be taken literally, and that it can not be construed to mean com mon school tuition fund. If the law had been construed to mean the common school tuition fund not only would the interest on these funds have been diverted to the coun ties, but the State Treasurer would have had a great additional amount of unnecessary and inconvenient busi ness to attend to. For example, the treasurer of Perry county would have estimated that he would have $3,000 of the common school tuition fund coming back to his county'at the time of the semi-annual distribution. Then he would have kept the $3,000 in money in the Cannelton Bank, which is the Perry county depository, and would have forwarded a certificate of deposit for tili amount. This certi ficate of deposit the State. Treasurer would have placed on file to keep un til the time for distribution. When the time for distribution came if the amount due Perry county had been $3,500, the State Auditor would have forwarded to the Perry county treasurer a warrant for $3,500 This warrant would have been taken from the county treasurer's office to he Cannelton bank, thence to a Louisville bank, thence to an Indianapolis bank, thence to the State Treasurer' office. Then the State Treasurer would have sent to the In dianapolis bank the $5,000 certificate of deposit and a check for $300. Then the certificate and the check would have retraced the path of the warrant The system would have been equally cumbersome- with respect to many other counties which transact their business through banks at Cleveland, hicago and other cities outside the State. The only apparent object of the system was to keep the common school tuition fund in the county banks all the time. AMERICANS TAKING ISLANDS. Canada Sending a Representative to Watch Interests in Far North. Because a map just issued from Washington givt-s "American names to a number of islands in the fat north to which Canada claims title, Capt. Bernier is being tustled up into the Arctic to look after the domin ion's interests:. Sir Wilfred Laurier referred to the map in the lionise Wednesday in ex plaining why a $750,000 appropriation for the royal northwest mounted po lice is urgently needed, zdding that Canadian jurisdiction in parts of the Hmlson Bay country and various spots on the Arctic coast are threat ened by the operatiouis of American whalers. "If we had sent mounted police to the Yukon 20 years ago we would nave more territory there than- we have today," he said. Is Paresis Germ Found? The statement made by Dr. John D. O'Brien of the State Hospital at Massillon, Ohio, before the conven

tion uif the Medico-Psychological Association that he had discovered the germ of paresis and that this dread disease is curable has now been reiterated by him in an intevievv. He says he has definite result to prove this conclusion in cases wh ch he has treated, although professional courtesy prevents him from nentioning the names of the persons under treatment. He refers to one case as that of a Washington newspaper man, and to a Nashville engineer, both of whom are completely cured and back to work. He began his experiments by taking serum from the spinal columns of living patients.

SPLITS NIGHT AIR WITH ITS SHRIEKS.

Strange Wild Beast Terrorising Fanners anf Others Near Akron, Indiana. A strange wild beast, with a cry that resembles the shriek of a frightened woman and with eyes that shine in the darkness as if they were balls of fire, is causing terror among the farmers who live near the woods and swamps northwest of Akron, Ind. The beast was first heard by the farmers ten days ago. Its cry was described as wierd and piercing. One man said he first thought it was' the shriek of a woman, but as the cry came from a swampy woods he can eluded that he was mistaken. Next day he investigated and found tracks large and broad enough for a bear's. Several men procured dogs and guns and trailed the beast along the roads and across fields, but finally lost its tracks in a swamp. Another search was made last Saturday, but without avail. On Monday night scores oif people heard the cry in the woods a quarter of a mile west of town, and on Tuesday morning fresh tracks were found. No one seems to have heard the beast on Tuesday n'ght, but on Wednesday aotbut dusk. Miss Clara Orr, who lives one mile north, heard a commotion in the pigpen. When she went out t learn the cause of the disturbance she was startled by , seeing a strange animal with eyes glowing like coals of fire among the hogs. She screamed and ran to a neighbor's Jacob Saygers. He and his hired man armed with shotguns, at once went to the pen. The strange beast was still there. Both men fired at the same time. There was a screech and a snarl, and a dark mass leaped the side oi the pen. The men fired again, but the beast went on toward the woods apparently not crippled. The pellets in the cartridges were small and probably only stung the animal. Tracks were found later leading from the pen to the woods, but al though a party of hunters searched diligently until dark the "varmint" could not be found. Inquiry has been sent to several circuses, in the belief that the beast has escaped from a menagerie. One man when got a glimpse of the animal said it was as large as a leopard, another believed it was a nuge Canada lynx, but his belief was discredited by examination at the tracks. Some people are, of the opinion that the "shrieker" is the ranie animal that was seen in the "Hell's Neck" part of southern Indiana several months ago, and that it has' worked northward in the wooJs on the banks of the Wabash and other streams. It is 'about 230 miles from the "Pocket" to Akron. The whole neighbrhood is excited over the strange animal, and timid people will not go near the swamps r wouls at night. RAILROADS WIN IN COURT. Indiana Commission's Temporary Injunction Against the Railways is Set Aside. Judge Anderson in the Federal Court Friday dlissolved the tempor ary restraining order issued against the Cleveland, Cinncinnati. Chicago & St. Louis Railway company and the Lake Erie & Western Company. The Indiana Railroad commission secured the restraining oroders against the two roads to prevent them discontinuing their interchange of traffic with other roads at Muncie, Marion, Peru and other points. The roads contended that the interstate traffic of both companies was affected by the restraining order, and that the Railroad Commission had no authority to prosecute any action against the defendants in relation to its interstate business. The Muncie Reit railroad ComMtiy was one of the petitioners against the Big Four in the injunction proceed ings. It recited that its sole business was the switching and handling of freight and passenger traffic between various railroad companies, and that the defendant company had served notice on the public that it would discontinue the interchange of traffic, thereby greatly affecting the business of the petitioning company. TWO QUESTIONS DEFERRED. Congress Postpones Venezuela and Wireless Matters! Until Winter. Two subjects the Venezuelan question and the proposed international treaty for the control of wireless telegraphy have been postponed until the winter session of congress. The senate has been ready toi adopt a resolution giving the president power to take such steps as seemed advisable in dealing with President Castro for his alleged actions in depriving American citizens of their rights in Venezuela. It has withheld action because the President and Seceretary Root were not ready to define a policy until they had opportunity to consult with Russtdl, the American min ister at Caracas, now at home on leave of absence. The wireless treaty is earnestly supported by the government experts in the war, navy and commerce and labor departments, and .s vigorously opposed by the existing wireless companies. The company wishes t investigate further.

Case Against the Buttercup. Dr. W. N. Chalfant, who recently announced the theory that many of the cases of measles are due to the poison contained in the common field buttercup, now adds to the indictment against this flower of hitherto good reputation by asserting that jit h probably the origin of cancer and other maladies. He has found that it contains a number of active poisons, one of which, if taken internally, may cause death.

Never Without Peruna

So Writes

There Are a Multitude of People- in the United States Who Have Been Restored to Health By the Use of Pe-ru-na. There are a multitude of people in the United States who have been restored to health by the use of Peruna. There is no use trying to deny thia fact. As a rule, doctors dislike to admit it. There is now and then a courageous doctor who does admit i t, however. In such cases Peruna is prescribed by the doctor himself. Even though the doctor suffers pecuniary loss by such a transaction his patient is benefited, which ought to be the doctor's chief concern. We do not claim that doctors generally prescribe Peruna. But we do claim whenever Peruna is intelligently prescribed it rarely disappoints either the doctor or patient.

Colds and Stomach Trouble. Mr. C. O. Con vers, Pres. Cold Storage Ice and Coal Co., Hot Springs, ArkM writes : "I h 1 been troubled with a very serious case of catarrh for a number of years. Haying tried many prescriptions by good physicians, I found myself no better. "On the advice of a friend who had used Peruna with good results I purchased a. bottle. The results were so good that I continued using it. Have, perhaps, in the last three years used a dozen bottles, which have kept me from the trying troubles of catarrh. I am never without a bottle of Peruna in my house. "One always gets relief from colds and Indiges

Catarrti of Bladder. Mr. Michael Rooney, 2ti Fifth St., Watervliet, X. Y., writes: "If I had known of Peruna years ago I should have been saved much suffering. Under carelessness and exposure in my younger year my system got into a very bad condition before I was aware of it. "My doctor thought that I had catarrh of the bladder and duly prescribed for me, but nothing did me any good.
