TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bisscll Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth. Indiana as second-class matitr. Plymouth, Indiana, August 20, 2908. The brewers should be careful not to give Democratic committees all their money before the campaign 13 fully opened. The "boys" will want something on election day. There is some talk among local people of organizing a company to build an electric line, beginning at Plymouth, running northeast past the, Lake of the Woods through Bremen and Nappanee and joining the Winona line att Gilford or Milford Junetion. This line would touch territory rich in every respect, and the line is entirely leasible. It is the belief of the promoters thatt the towns along the route proposed will work for this line. Bremen Enquirer. Good idea, why not try to push : '-ng? J It painsf us to note that Editor Metsker has not yet recovered from the shock and fright, which he ex penenced upon recently running his automobile into Mr. Randall. Such talk as somebody trying ta pan off as an alderman at Logansport, is only the ravings of a whisky or otherwise crazed brain. Anyone with lialf sense would know better. As for the bills calling for a mass meeting, they were ordered by a responsible person not connected with this office who also furnished the 'money; for paying the bvys who clr culated the bills. 4 tv t)t SIMPLY A SUGGESTION. An injunction suit has been filed against the city, to restrain 'the councilman from granting the electric light franchise to C. D. Snoeberger, which they had set themselves) on record as -being in favor ol doing. This arises from the complexity of bids which were submitted, and the various results obtain? d by persons comparing them, the results being generally more or less in accordance with -views they had previously taken on the question. The TrihtlTl i h rtilir r fiunr f( " - - - . a J . . w . v . W awarding the contract tol the lowest bid Jer, regardless of personal grievances or prejudices. It seems, as the situation, now standi, that this will be impossible to do, without a long drawn legal fight. In this fight enemies will probably be nade, and friendships blasted. Therefore why not have the council reject all bids now in its hands, and in asking . for, new bids, supply each bidder with a blank bij form in which' the wording is identical, let the council prepare as many propositions as it sees fit, leaving blank spaces for the bidders1 to supply numbers, figures and prices. In this way the council will not have different propcsiitons, different grammar, and "different ing all figures' to compare, but havpropositions etc. alike, will only have to compare , figures. In this way the matter could Dex correctly decided, and to the satisfaction of all. J Jl J8i J Senator Beveridge Will Open Republican National Campaign.

The controversies he has had with Mr. Bryan in the public prints arc thought to have equipped him with an understanding of the problems of the hour.

I am certain you are going tol be elected, because if the Re publicans would put up an Indian squaw this year they would be successful."

PLEASED WITH

HOSPITAL SITE DR. J. N. HURTY THINKS COMMISSION DID WISELY IN SELECTING PARKE COUNTY FARM-CONDITIONS ALMOST IDEAL. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the sitate board of health, has returned from Parke county, where he visited the site for the new tuberculosis hospital. He is enthusiastic over what he saw. "I regard the site as almost ideal," he said. "About ane-third of the 500 acres is woodland, another one-third is rolling pasture land ond the remaining one-third Js bottom land. Raccoon creek flows through the western edge' of. the reservation. This is an unfailing stream of beautiful clear water. Conditions' exist for making a fresh water lake of considerable size. The ground water supply is good and abundant as sliown by a well specially driven and by the examination of other wells in the neighborhood. The commission did wisely in accepting the Parke county site. It may not be as accessible as might be desired, but this! is not a condemning condition. Rockville can be reached in a little more than two hours from Indianapolis.' The doctor thinks that it would be good business and true economy for the general assembly ta make a healthy appropriation for the new institution. He said: "I think the appropriation for the necessary bui'drings and supplies should not b: less than $300,000. An act appropriating this sum would be a good piece of business and a decided economy. Unlike the nsane and the feeble-minded, a large proportion of consumptives are returned to health, cured and strong, and more than this competent to teach others how rrot to have consumpion and other diseases. "For fear that same might t'.iink that the expenditure of this sum h trot warranted, I will say that if onehundredth as many lives were lost through poisoning with arsenic as are lost through the poison of con sumpt'xri, the people would nat heshate at any expense like that of protecting and furthering the public health. Down on the Farm. Two ideas about the farm arc generally accepted. One is that the crops make the substantial basis of national wealth. The other is that life in the country has few charms far the" boys and girl. The hours oi labor are long. The horizon is limited. The pleasures are few. And - just over there is the city with its constant excitement, its wider outlook. There isi not much question about the prosperity of the farmer, considered as a class. The crop reports' tell their own story. The progress made in the development of agricultural resources during ictcnt years has been remarkable. Some of the greatest ol government undertakings have to do with the improvement of facilities for agriculture. The future, therefore, i full of promise for this class of citizens. Better facilities for farming and better farming fhrough the use of these facilities have been the watchwords. Machinery has been perfected ti reduce personal toil. Soils have been studied to increase their effVciency in production. The whole trend of inr ;nthe far nas b"n 'vit the economic idea uppermost. But the comfort and happiness of the farm dwellers have not been so much :ared for. Even now the farmer's lot 3 far better than ever before. Better roads are ta be found in increasing number. Rural free delivery lhas mtde communication easier. LeJtters, daily and weekly papers and other periodicals are brought to the door. In many places the telephone has advanced from a convenience to a household necessity. Often the trolley line is found by the roadside. On large farms the automobile, in some form, peared. But there is food for thought in certain words of President Roosevelt: "Agriculture is not the whole o! country life. The great rural Interests re human interests, and good crops are of little value to the farmer unless they open the door to a good kind of life on the farm." It is another illustration of the keen perception by the presidnet of national value's lying outside the domain of politics. The "conservation of resources" and now "better, happier, more contented, and more efficient men and women, boys and girls on the farm" make a pair of non-political policies which proclaim a largeness of view marking a great man among our presidents. The appointment of a commisison of five members to make investigations and recommendations is a notable forward step. Their reports wSll furnish material for a stirring message to congress. There is something distinctly attractive in the field of inquiry. A well grounded statement of exact conditions, showing also the possibilities and how to make possibilities realities, will mean much for rural ire in America. The chance for wealth from the farm- is plain. What is needed is greater contentment resultant from a happier social condition for the farmer and has wife and children. Chicago Tribune. Better Rate on Coal. Better rates on coal shipments are promised in Indiana. The high price of coal is due largely to the fact that the railroads charge exorbitant shipping rates. The Indiana Railway Commission lhas taken up the matter and promises a reduction in the cost of shipping to different parts of Indiana.

SUE BANK'S BONDSMEN.

Warsaw Tangle Seems to be Getting Into Worse Shape. Bondsmen of the closed Kosciusko County bank have been notified by the county, auditor to appear at the at the court house Aug. 25th for the purpose of reaching some underStanding with regard to the with drawal of $27,000 of county funds tied up in the closed bank. The decision of Trustee Warren Darst, of Oxford, O., not to cash any more checkos presented by the county has been the cause of threats being made to sue on the bond furnished by the bank as' public depository. Counsel for the small depositors on the other hand threaten to sue if further funds are paid to the. county be fore a dividend is declared. Forty-Three, Pounds of Cents. Henry G. Sponsel, an Indianapolis baker, found a unique way of making his wife remember her forty-third birthday anniversary. At a surprise party, given in her honor, his present to her took the farm of forty-three pounds of pennies. Thn a prize was offered to the person guessing nearest the value of the pennies. Some guessed very near, the amount being $58.73. CHARGE CASE OF FRAUD CONSPIRACY CHARGES MADE IN SUIT FOR RECEIVER- " SHIP AGAINST MT. STERLING OIL COMPANY AT SOUTH ' BEND. Alleging, conspiracy at d fraudulent misappropriation of the funds of th Mount Sterling Oil Comoany, suit was filed in the St. Joseph circuit court Thursday by E. Newton McCormick of Lexington, Ky., against the oil company and its directors, William Kizer, Dudley M. Shively, Samuel M. Robinson. Dr. Frank T. Conklin, Samuel B. Robinson and the real estate firm of cialey & Robinson. The plaintiff will ask for an accounting and the appointment of a receiver for the company. "Mr. McCormick is represented in the proceedings by Attorney Eli F. Seebir. The complaint will set forth that the 'Mount Sterling Oil company was organized in 1900 and that in 1901 the company's leases and property were sold to 'Pittsburg parties At that time the company had about $30,000 in its treasury and it is these funds the plaintiff af.eges the defendants have mis-app.opriated and dissipated. They were enabled to do this, he alleges, for the reason that they had exclusive charge and contron of the affairs of the company. It appears that the plaintiff is the owner of 500 shares of stock in the company of a race value of $100 a share. For additional cause of complaint Mr. McCormick charges that during the time the defendants were officers and directors of the Moainit Sterling Oil company, for he purpose of absorbing the profits and earnings of the company, they voted themselves large salaries and traveling expenses. The defendants, it is alleged, own 3,500 sbare of the company's stock and that they conspired together to rertcrer the stock olwned by plaintiff valueless. It is further charged that practically all of the stock held y defendants wUs not paid for. WILL VISIT COAL COUNTIES. Federal Geologists Will Investigate Mining' Conditions in Indiana. To begin a thorough investigation of the coal fields of Indiana and the rate of production the rate of waste amd many ether phases of the colal mining industry in this slate, Prof. George H. Ashley and Prof. . E. F. Lines of the United States Geological Survey arrived in Indianapolis Wednesday. The men are to work in conjnction vrth W. S. Blatchley, state geologfist, who is to issue next year a comprehensive report on the Indiana coal fields supplementary to his mammoth coal fields report of 1898. Prof. Ashley was chief assistant to Mr. Blatchley from 1890 to 1900 and asiised him in gathering the data for that report. The geologists will visit the seventeen coal producing countees, starting at Terre Haute Friday and going probably from there to Linton. TWO CENTURY SEARCH ENDS. Remains of Discoverers Who Were Victims, of Massacre, Found. A party of Jesuit Fathers has ju3t returned to St. Boniface from Winnipeg, Man., after finding tthe re? mains of 30 discoverers, who under Jean Banriste de la Verandrye, son of the grycat discoverer, Sieur de la .Verandrye, were massacred by Indians in the lower end of Lae Woods in 1737. The location of the bodies of the party has been sought by the church of Rome for almost two centuries numerous parties having undertaken the search. All the bodies were found in a remarkable state of preservation, all having been decapitated. They will be brought to Winnipeg and placed in a vault. A momumtnt will be erected later by the church. Fell Dead at Elkhart. While sitting oh his front porch in Elkhart, Thursday evening John Fred Kuszmaul, who went to Elkhart from Plymouth, fell over dead. He had been in failing health for six months. His wife survives him. His body will be taken to Edgerton, O., for burial. The deceased was born in Defiance in 1856.

LAW APPLIES

TO TROLLEYS INDIANA RAILROAD COMMIS SION BELIEVES INTERURBAN TRAINMEN ARE SUBJECT TO SIXTEEN HOUR RAILROAD ROAD LAW. That the "sixteen hour law" passed by the last legislature applies to in terurban lines as well as steam rail roads within this sitate was the con struction placed on the-, law in an opinion sent out by the Indiana rail road commission in response to an informal inquiry made of the com mission Aug. 6. The information was smught by traction employes. ine opinion lor trie commission was written by Henry M. Dowling, former assistant attorney general, and now one of the railroad comf missioners 1 he sixteen hour law provides that It shall be unlawful for any superintendent, train 'dispatcher, yardmaster, foreman or other railway official to permit, exact, demand or require any engineer, fire man conductor, brakeman, switch man, telegraph operator or other em ployes engaged in the movement of passenger or freight - trains, or in switching service, in yards or railway stations, to remain on duty more than sixteen consecutive hours." The Railroad commission hold that the classes of o'ftieials a'nd em proyes, set forth in the act, include both those connected with steam and electric lines, and that there is noth ing in the language of the statute which necessarily antagonizes the idea that it was intended to apply alike to all roads. "While the legislature might, per haps, constitutionally pass an act to protect traveflers' and employes on steam lines only," says the opinion, "yet it is scarcely probable that it would deem it proper or necessary tb exclude, from the safeguards provided for steam railway passengers and employes, those who took passage upon or would be employed by elec tric lines;" The comission says that the act of 1907 is based upon the act of 1903. which provides ( better protection -of th -traveling public and limits the hours oi service of trainmen on the railways of the state. The commission points out a .num ber of statutes where it was stated expressly that the acts should not ap ply to interurbans and in closing says: "The fact that the word 'train is employed in the 'sixteen .hour law' does rrot necessarily indicate that it would not apply to a train consisting of a single interurban car. In one of the statutes, approved on the' same day with the act in question, the title clearly indicates the legislature used the word 'train as including a 'car,' the language being 'an act to promote ?he safety of employes and travelers upon railroads by compelling j com mon carirers by. railroads and, inter urban railroads in Indiana to provide certain aafdty appliances for locomo t'ves, cars! and trains and to operate tra:ns with reference thereto.'

Swimmer Tried to Diva as in Youth and Collapsed. Joseph Berwanger a well-known business man of Logansport, fell from the top of the Indiana Union T. action company bridge, east of the city, Sunday and he would have been drowned but for the timely assistance of Percy Summers, of Toledo, O., who wa Berwanger's guest at Camp Freezeoait. The top of the bridge is thirty-five feet above the Wabash river anl Berwanger wagered that he could jump into the water without getting hurt. He walked out on ' e high trestle atrired in his bathing suit and peered over the edge into the water. Summers, who was swimming blow, looked like a pigmy to Berwanger and he lost his nerve. He was drawing back from the trdge when he became dizzy and toppled 01 er. His body struck oji the edge of the bridge, balanced there for a moment and then plunged downward. He landed flat on his stomach. He sank and would have drowned but for Summers, wbx brought the limp body to the' surface. Berwanger wa3 revived after hard work.

TRESPASS COMMISSION OFFERS ASSIST ANCE TO RAILROADS IN SAFETY MEASURES 173 LIVES LOST IN THIS 1 WAY LAST YEAR. Pointing out that 73 persoais lost their lives last year while trespassing n railroad tracks or cars, the Rail.cal Commiss on has issued a circu iar ta the railroad companies having lines traversing the Stated asking their co-operation in establishing protective measures. The commis sion regards trespassing on railroad property one o: the dangerois prac ticcs of the present day. W. J. Wood is' particularly inter csted in the subject, being chairman of the committee appointed by the convention of railroad commissioners from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana to collect data and information concerning fatalities of this kind with a view to drafting a model law to be enacted by the Leg islatures of the various States. The circular just issued fellows an appeal to the pxess of Indiana' that it use its influence toward impressing the people of the State with the dang cr of walking on tracks either at pub lie dressings or elsewhere. The comni'sion wishes to print the ward "Danger" in red ink, in th mind of every man, woman and child in the State. The circular to the railroads follows: v "One hundred and sevejnty-tliree persons were killed while 'trespassing on the tracks or cars of the railroads in Indiana during the year ending June 3u, 1903. While the railroads are not to be held responsible for these deaths as they are for accidents re sulting frotm negligence, it is an act of humanity and a mortal, if not a legal obligation to prevent this loss so to do. Accident reports for July and August indicate a large increase in theäe fatalkies, and fatalities at highway grade crossings. Nine States of the Union make ex plicit prescriptions with reference to walking on railroad tra:ks; and thre as all should do, expressly forbid it. The State of Indiana, Burns 1908, Sec. 2280, makes it unlawful only af ter warning: "The offense defined by the statute consists in entering un lawfully upon the lands of another after having been forbidden to oo so l . 1 - . m uy uic owner or occupant, i ne un lawful entry in defiance of the command of the lawful occupant consti tutes the offense." Stite vs Burns, Vol. 213, Supreme Court, of Indiana, Page 427. "In a recent special case in one 0 the large cities of the State where railroad tracks were notoriously and daily used by large numbers of citiz ens as thoroughfares, the commission called on the division superintendent to take steps under this statute to abate this practice. We are now ad vised by the railroad company "that warning signs are placed at the prin cipal streets, tht the mayor' has promised use that he will have police men placed to notify people that they are trespassing, and that we do not feel it necessary for a member of the commission to come to this city for the purpose of taking up this question with these people." "Success and progress in the indi vidual case demonstrate that the same work should be undertaken in order that like results) may be achieved at many places in this State. "This commission is of the opinion hat a more systematic, general and determined effort should be mjde by the railroad companies and local au thorities to keep trespassers . off the tracks. We recommend and direct that you shall place warning signals, indicating "danger," in red letters, at such places in towns, cities and coun try, and on such bridges and trestles as are often and repeatedly used by the public for footways or thoroughfares. We recommend and direct that you shall seek the co-operation of local authofritieSj using this circular, if advisable, after placing the warnngs referred to, and that you advise the commission of the results of your efforts, to th', end that we may use our official influence to aid you in. any case where local authorities refuse to enforce the law. You will take this mglst important matter up at once and advise use as indicated herein." Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy. Can t bear he touch of vour clot hin c.

INDIANA SHOWS BIG GAIN

REPORT COMPILED BY BU REAU OF STATISTICS SETS FORTH AN INCREASE FOR 4 YEARS AMOUNTING TO ABOUT $200,000,000. The taxable property in Indiana in creased in value about $200,000,000 frorh 1904 to 1907. This showing is made in figures jiist compiled by the Indiana Bureau of Statistics. In 1907 the total value of the taxable property in the state was $1,767, 815,487. The increase is apparent in every kind of taxable property assessed either by, the State, Board of Tax Commissioners or by the county boards of review. It is regarded a an indication tthat general values have increased throughout th state during the past four years, The counties having the largest total valuations are Marion, Allen, Vigo, Lake, St. Joseph, Vanderburg, Madison, Tippecanoe, . Grant, Delaware, Wayne and Laporte. Ohio county h'ad the " smallest valuation, Brown county had the next Jo west. The total taxable property in 1907 was valued -as follows: Assessed by locasl boards in counties Lands and improvements, $600,172,175; lots and improvements, $430,428,775; personal property, $428,450,338. Assessed by State Board of Tax Commissioners Telegrap,,, pipe line, telephone, express and cloning car property, $23,776,414; railroad and in terurban property, $224,987,815,487! The assessed valuation of the land areas in the state increased in the last four years also. Not only was tncre a slight increase in the tota number of acres assessed and an in crease un the total -aluation of such lands, but there was a jump in the average value per acre from $12.97 to $24.56, an increase of $1.59 per acre. According to Mrs. Mary Stubbs Moore, chief of t'he .Bureau of Sta . . . . . iisiics, ire increased valuation of lands may, be traced to two causes First, the State Board of Tax Com missioners between the years 190and 1907, reassessed the value cf the lands. This reassessment comes every four years and usually results in an increase; second the growth of the cit'es in the state has caused the land that was formerly farm land assessed on thz farm, land basis, to be. annexed to the erne and thus as sessed on the basis of city lots.The total number of acres of farm land a.ssessed in Indiana in 1907 wa 22,403,502. That in 1904 was 22,335,629. The increase since 1904 :s 67, 87ä acres. v 'Phe 'total valuation o faran land in 1907 was $550J84J9Ö That in 1904 was $513,094,456. The increase Since 1904 is $37,090,340. Mcther Nature a True Optimist .Mother IN autre never cries' ovet sprit milk.

FIVE-CENT FARE IN EFFECT. J

Cleveland Goes Back to Old Plan Unless Tickets are Bought Five cent cash, fare and three cent ticket fare went into effect Thursday at Cleveland, O., on the line of the Municipal Traction Company. After midnight conductors were Instructed to collect five cents from all who offered cash in payment for fare. Tickets were sold in lois of five or more. The new plan offers opportunity to conductorsi disposed, to profit at the expense of the company. They can collect the fares of those who pay five cents and then purchase ticekts ihemselves at the rate of three oents.turning .these into the company. President DePont, of the Municipal Traction company, says the five cent fare will continue until all lines are equipped with pay as you enter cars. He believes the addrtiorral revenue from the higher cash fare will be sufficint to overcome the present deficit. Dodges Picnic Passes Throuih.

MONEY RETURNED TO CORPORATIONS FUNDS ARE BEING RETURNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW PASSED BY LAST - SESSION OF CONGRESS CONFERENCE HELD. Corporations that have sent contributions to the Republican national campaign fund are having tfieir checks returned by mail by the national committee, in accordance with the law that was passed at the last session of congress, prohiiting the use of corporatiton cash in financing political campaigns. This fact was developed late last week when peorge R. Sheldon, treasurer of the "national committee, arrived in Chicago to attend the conference of the' executive committee that signalized the formal opening of headquarters for the party in that city. So far as finances are concerned, the conference brought out two features, one tfhait corporations will not have any hand in the financing of the Taft campaign; the other that full publicity -will be given the list o campaign contributors, no matter how large or how small the amount given to the funds. Those who attended the conference were Frank H. Hicthtock, national chairman; William! Hay ward of Ne braska, national seoretar; George R. Sheldon, national treasurer; Fred W Upham, assistant treasurerR'kfiard V. Öulahari, director of the publicity bureau; General T. Coleman DuPont director of the speakers bureau; Vic-' tor Rosewater, national committee man from Nebraska; Charles Nae" of Missouri; Frank O. Lowden, na tional committeeman from IlPnois, and Senator Borah of Idaho. Mr Hitchcock also talked with Senator Hemenway of Indiana, and Senatot Dolliver of Iowa on conditions in the west. Chairman Hitchcock has announc ed the' appointment of Victor Ro?ewater as head of the publicity department at the Chicago ena of the cam paign.' Mr. Rosewater is an editor in Omaha and was selected after a careful search for 'the best man avail able for the place. . t After the conference Nariona' Treasurer Sheldon said, in speaking of (the amount required for . the cam paign: . , The report that we shall rely on the state committees "to collect ottr funds Is erroneous. We shall collect our own funds' and, to meet the expenses of the campaign, we shall need & large sum. We estimate that between $400,000 and $500,000 will be neces sary for' the traveling expenses n ine campaign speakers. . cne piece of literature placed $n the hands of each voter will cast over $200,000 Campaign buttons will cost $60,006 or $70,000 more.
