Indian as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., August 27, 190S. The temperance question is the paramount issue in Indiana. It is not a political, but a moral question. It is a question of law .and order. It is a question of whether the brewers and saloons or the people shall rule. County local option is an adv mce in tem perance legislation. It is bitterly fought by the selfish brewers and saloons. It is the logical and proper unit. All the people of a county pay taxes to build court houses, jails and poor asylums and to pay for county government. The farmers boys visit the county seat, are tempted and ruined by the saloon. The farmers are vitally interested in the moral atmosphere of the county seat as well as their home town ship. Vote for your homes and your boys. v To get rich is the sole ambition of many men. From early life until old age when they are call ed to turn up their toes to the daisies, all their energies are bent toward hoarding up wealth Many such men have no com punctions of conscience as to the means they adopt to secure it. TheV grind the face of the poor, take undue advantages in all their transactions with the public and are never so happy as when -they are piling one dollar upon another and adding to their wealth. They see no pleasures in life except that sense of 'ciling that they arc growing r.cher every day. How foolish! R.Krke feller is supposed to be the wealthiest man in the world. He has spent the major,, port ion of his life in accumulating his great wealth at the sacrifice of his self respect and detestation of tens of thousands of poor persons from whom much of hrs wealth was secured. Soon he will -occupy hut three feet by six feet space of the earth, the same that is ac corded to humanity in general. Of what comfort to him will his riches be then? He rrght a well have hoarded brickbats and old tin cans for 'all the good it will do him. Money is of no wort.h except as it adds comfort and pleasure to the possessor and benefit to the public. Rochester Sentinel. j Charles W. Miller. The Republican nominee for congress in this district, Charle W. Miller, should receive the united and earnest support 4f the Republicans of the district. Differences of opinion as to the convention which nominated Mr. Miller should be laid aside and all should work for success at the polls. Mr. Miller is a Republican of prominence and is an able man. No one doubts for a moment but what he will be found a strong supporter of every Republican measure wfaich ' may come up for consideration in the national law-making body. A - voter has but one way to express his political sentiments, and that is by voting for the congressional nominee and the national electors of his party. Mr. Miller being the congressional nominee, stands for the principles of the Republican party. Moreover, it is un-Republican to carry convention fights into the campaign. There is no surer way of turning the district over to the opposition, and a Republican had as well vote against Mr. Taft as against Mr. Miller. The convention which nominated Mr. Miller was marked for its brtterness, w!ich was unfortunate. The friends of Mr. Miller's opponent in the convention strove nobly to nominate him, and they will not forget that without the support of Mr. Miller's friends the man whom they supported could not have won in the election. In plainer words,- Mr. Miller has the same right to expect the support of Mr. Moorman's friends in file election rs he would have had to expect the support of 'Mr. Miller's friends in the election. It is time to forget the animosities of the convention campaign and turn to the more serious business, of the coming .campaign. The- former was but preliminary work; this is permanent, and fraught with deep responsibilities which no voter can escape. This is to be one of the greatest campaigns in the history of the party, particularly in Indiana, and every voter is expectetf'to do his duty. Starke county should give Charles W. Miller as big a majority as any other candidate on the ticket. He lias a right to expect this majority and he will receive it Let every Republican put hüs shoulder to 'the wheel and roll up the biggest majority for Mr. Miller that was ever given a congressional candidate in Starke county. Starke County Republican.

Sunday at Iake Maxinkuckee . m - - there was a gathering of LefTerts that sort of surprised the natives. Nobody ever dreamed that there were so many Lcfferts in existence. Then there were relatives of the LefTerts, married children of the LefTerts and grand children of the LefTerts. Only two persons of this particular tribe were there who were born in the old country and they were Henry Leffert of Logansport and Mrs. Michaels of Decatur, 111. All the rest happened into the world within the borders of the United States. At the election of officers the result was as follows : President, Harmon Leffert..

CREMATION UNPOPULAR.

America Disposed cf 4000 Bodies That Way Last YearFrance of 451. The French branch of the International Cremation Society has iust published a report in which it deplores the fact that in snite of its efforts cremation is not popular in France. The number of incinerations is larger each vear, but the increase is so small as to be scarcely perceptible. In the provinces this form for the disposal of the dead is scarcely used at all. Practically all the cremations in France occurred in Paris. America, says the report, has the largest number of cremations There are thirty-six crematories in the United States, and these last year consumed a little less than 4,000 bodies. Germany is next in order with fifteen crematories and an incineration list of 2,977. The Argentine Republic, with 976 cremations, occupies 3d place, Switzerland cremated 721 bodies. Seven hundred and five were cremated in Great Britain, but there were only 451 cremations in the four crematories ol France, in Paris, Marseilles, Lyons and Rouen, Italy, with thirty crematories, only incinerated 442 bodies. WINTER TO COME EARLY FROSTS ARE REPORTED IN THIS DISTRICT HOWEVER PROGNOSTICATORS DECLARE FOR AN EARLY FALL. Farmers near Elkhart report two light frosts so far for August, in the last few nights. Xo damage was done. The present cold spell makes the weather- a much-discussed topic. Many people who claim the title of amateur weather prophets say that all indications point to an early winter and also to a cold one. Tanners in general report that the crops arc from one to two weeks earlier this year than usual, which is considered a certain sign that nature is get ting ready for an early fall. Home grown garden truck has also been in the market earlier than in previous years. Also certain flowers, which invariably fail to bloom until almost September are said to be dying. The premature fall of leave from shade and forest trees, which has been noted to' some extent here, is causing alarm in Indianapolis, where various au thorities give reasons for the early shedding of foliage. Some say the long drought of the summer, some say the maple scale or the San Jose scale, some say the wet early spring and some say lack of nourishment is responsible, while others combine all the above causes, still others eliminate only the scale lroni tht combination of causes. Will Freeman, secretary of the state forestry commission, says that the trouble is 'too much rain." "It is this way," said he, ' e had a very wet spring and the leaves came ut very fast and developed prematurely. They have lived their time, have been scorched more or less by the hot summer and have gone into early deceay. It is the case pretty well all over the state and in the for ests as well ass in the cities and towns.". ' TO OPEN IN THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY. Republicans Will Fire First Gun in Democratic Ft. Wayne. Formal announcement is now made that the Republican campaign in Indiana will be opened August 2G at Ft. Wayne. James E. Watson, candidate for gover nor, will deliver the party key note, which will treat of all the issues and explain the Rcpubli can attitude toward each. Per sons in a position to know say that temperance will be a feature of the speech. The Republican plan of county local option will be compared and contrasted with the township and city ward as the units. By firing their first gun at Ft. Wayne the Republicans will demonstrate a desire to camp early and late in the enemy's country. FtT Wayne and its county (Allen) are not only Democratic, but comprised in the 12th district, the home district of Thomas R. Marshall, opponent to Mr. Watson. Mr. Marshall is as well known perhaps in Fort Wayne and Allen county as he is in Whitley county and Columbia City, having. practiced law there. 'Wie Ft. Wayne meeting will be held in the Colosseum, the largest meeting place in the city.

LIBRARIES IN

H00SIER STATE INDIANA RANKS 2ND IN COUNTRY IN NUMBER OF CARNEGIE LIBRARIESCREDIT DUE CLUBWOMEN Interesting information in re gard to the Public Library Com mission of Indiana is contained In a pamphlet which has just been prepared by the commission. It is stated that the commission was organized in 1899 in response to the demands of Indiana club women and others that the State encourage more and better reading. Discussing the work which is being done the pamphlet says: "The commission furnishes 25 towns of less than one hundred inhabitants with libraries. Of these one had nine libraries or 3G0 books; another fourteen liblaries or GG0 books. There are over one hundred "associations in places of less than five hundred population. In ten communities the population ranges from thirteen to ninety-five. The books are sent to sixteen rural schools. In 1907 the commission had 1G9 libraries containing 5,825 books. At the present tnneUliere are 194 libraries containing (5,485 books; 12G are general collection, containing forty books each; G8 are for use in the study clubs ; 12 of them contain from eight to ten books on agriculture. The annual expenditure in the traveling library department is $1,900. "The general libraries contain readable books of non-fiction, both standard and current, and a good suppy of nature stories, his torie, travels, biographies and stories for the young people and children. "The study club libraries consist of collections on the history, literature ami art of the various nations, collections on athletics, domestic science, nature study, sociology, music, Shakespeare, Browning, Tennyson and otlvers." Taking up the training for lib rary work in Indiana, the bulletin says that in 1899 there was only one Indiana librarian who had graduated from an accredited library school. At present there are in the state eighteen librarians who are graduates of library schools outside Indiana ; more than thirty who have graduated within the State and one hundred and fifty. who have taken the summer library courses conducted by the public library commission. Approximately 100 personal vis its have been made to local lib raries of Indiana by public lib rary commission workers during the last year. Library buildings in ' Indiana are discussed as follows: "In 1899 there were seven spec ially erected library buildings in Indiana . At present there are over seventy such buildings, with several additional ones in process of construction. "The greatest number of library buildings in this State meet the demands made upon them ex cellently. Nearly all Indiana lib rary building have special child ren s rooms, rooms for reference work, assembly room for public occasions, an adult readers' room and a librarian's room. Many Indiana library buildings show ineresting provisions made for lo cal history collections, meeting rooms for clubs, class rooms for visiting schools, museums for natural history collections, art galleries, game rooms for boys, and a few buildings have smoking rooms for men and conversa tional rooms. "The cost of specially erected public library buildings in Indi ana ranges from $1.800 to $150,000. "Indiana stands second among the States in the Union in the number of public library build ings erected with funds present ed by Andrew Carnegie." FAMILY BROKEN.

SMITH IS A GOOD NAME.

Is Readily Written and Easily Pronounced Compared With Others. Th ere are those who deliotit to make fun " out of the name "Smith" and that plain cognomen has tor years furnished food for the punster and the humorist, but when seen neatlv recorded among a dozen other names, none of which can be correctly pronounced bv the man with an or dinary understanding of the Eng lish language, it serves as a great relief and is really refreshing af ter la'bonnfr over a loner list of translations. A glance will show that the letters S-m-i-t-h, when properly arranged, form a verv good word for the man who has to record it and the one called upon to pronounce it. Preparing Statistics. Wm. T. Walker from the office of the State Statistician at Indianapolis, is in this city today, preparing a report of various statistics of this city. State Tax Rate. The state tax rate this year will be the same as last vear, 12 cents on $100, total tax rate -33.35 cent.f Poll tax 50 cents state, and 50 cents for school. TO STRAIGHTEN THE KANKAKEE PROJECT IN VIEW TO STRAIGHTEN RIVER IN FIVE COUNTIESWILL SAVE HALF MILLION PER YEAR. For the last thirty years various plans have been offered for the benefit of farmers along the Kankakee river in Indiana, whose lands are affected by spring over flows, but as yet no material ben efits have resulted. The overflows occur with about the same fre quency that they rtid forty years ago, each year rendering practi pally useless hundreds of acres of the richest bottom land to be found in the state. r The most practical project for the drainage of lands along the Kankakee- and the one upon which it is believed, rests the hope of r i i . . idinrc:i urii uc-uui, in volves the straightening of the river from near its source to the Illinois line, a distance of sixty miles east of LaPorte by the pil140 miles by following the wind ings of the river. The undertak ing would embrace the counties of LaPorte, Newton, Lake, Por ter and Jasper in Indiana, and if successful in carrying off the surplus water, as it doubtless would be, would benefit the farmers on both sides of the river to the ex tent of more than a half million dollars annually. The Kankakee river rises in the marshes southeast of South Bend and almost throughout its entire length in Indiana, it flows through a valley from eight to fifteen miles wide. . The river banks are very low, accounting in part for the frequent overflows which at times cover the entire villey. Last spring's destructive flood awakened the farmers along the Kankakee river as never before to a realizing sense of their help less condition in this matter, and there is a general sentiment among land owners for some sure and lasting methods of relief, re gardless of cost. TAKING OUT 1ST PAPERS. Number Declaring Their Inten- , tions Greatest in Year 1904. More foreign-born persons declared their, intention of becoming naturalized citizens fn 1904 than in any other year since 1898, according to reports which have I ust been compiled by Mrs. Mary Stubbs Moore.chief of the Indiana Bureau of Statistics. A presidential campaign was on in 1894 and it was in this year that Pres ident Roosevelt piled up his big majority. To become a voter in Indiana it is necessary only to take out first papers, m which it is declared that the applicant in tends to become a naturalized citizen. This is supposed, to be the reason why the number who take out first papers each year, especially in campaign years, is far in excess of the number who become naturalized. The number who have taken out first papers since 1899 is as follows: 1899, 404; 1900, G65; 1901, 1,912; 1902, 8C3; 1903, 531; 1901, 5,090; 1905, 1,377; 19CG, 1,37fr; and 1907, 279. It is shown also that the immigrants of the so-called undesirable class are most eaer to take out first pap ers. Sociologists have named the following countries from which immigrants are said to be desirable: England, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium. Ireland and Scotland. The "undesirable" immigrants, they say, come from Russia, Italy and other European countries. In 1904 the percentage of immigrants from the socalled desirable countries who took out first papers was only 29.7. n 1907 the percentage from the desirable countries was 53.8. Cadet Beaten. A member of the Culver Black Horse troop resented an Insult at Mentone, and struck tire man who slung the slur. He was badly beaten, his nose being broken.

G. A. R. GAINS

IN MEMBERSHIP DESPITE INROADS OF DEATH ADDED 128 MEMBERS IN LAST SIX; MONTHS FINANCIAL CONDITION GOOD. That the G. A. R. Posts of In diana have made an aggregate net gain in membership of 128 in the rast six months in spite ot the inroads made by death is shown by the semi-annual report of the Indiana Department G. A. R., which has just been completed by Col. J. R. Fessler, assistant adjutant-general. The total .net gain during the two semi-annual periods - previous to the last one, which ended June 30, was only thirty. "Tin: department is in excellent conditions," said Colonel Fesler, "and all the posts are doing well, with promises for even greater gains during the next period." During the last six months, as shown by the report, there were 298 deaths in the G. A. R. ranks. The number of deaths each year is increasing. During the first period of 1905 there were only 19G deaths. The number of deaths in the last period of 1907 was 300. The number of losses by suspensions during the last six months was 253. The number of losses from this source in the previous period was 402. Comparison of these figures is encouraging, be cause it shows that the G. A. R. men arc more prompt in paying their dues and, apparently, arc taking more interest than usual in the organization. Most of the suspensions are a result of the nonpayment of dues. The number of G. A. R. posts in, the State at the end of 1907 was 377. . During the last six months three posts. have been lost and three gained, so that the number of posts remains the same. The total number'of G. A. R. members at the end of 1907 was 14.045. The gross gain in the last six months was 755 from the following sources: Muster-in 291; transfer, 101 and reinstate ment, 033. The losses during the six months amounted to G27, due to the following causes; Death, 298; honorable discharge, 13; transfer, G3, and suspension, 253. The total number of members re maining in good Standing June HO.Jast, was 14,173, which is 128 more than were in good standing at the end of the previous per iod. A report on the relief work shows that the posts have expended $539.23 for charity dur ing the period. The rftimber of members or their families relieved was 72, and the number of personsnot members, relieved, 16; The financial report of the posts, for the last six months also is encouraging. The balance on hand at the end of last vear was $05,41 G.0-C The receipts from all sources during thev last period were $12,365.07. The total receipts during the previous sixmoniths term were only $11,602. Disbursements during the last period were $13.440.46 and the amount on hand June 30 was $64, J49.44, This amount was held in cash. The posts, in addition to this sum, held $6,388.69 in collaterals. The total value of the property of all posts at the end of the last period was $111,357.23 During much of the last fiscal per!ul W. A. Ketcham was commander of he Indiana Department. He worked hard for gains in membership and Captain John D. Alexander, since he has been in command ,has been foil wir. g the same course. SOME PENSION FIGURES.

REPORT OF

SOUTHERN ROADS. Earnings for First Half of Au gust Less Than Last Year. Railroads of the United States reporting for the first half of AuH gust show total gross earnings of $12,222,876 for the two weeks, a decrease of $2,248,280, or 15.5 per cent., as compared with the cor responding period of the preced ing year. For a like period in July the gross ea-rnings were $11,916,976, a decrease of $1,699,651, or 12.6 per cent, as compared with the corresponding penod of the preceding year. The report for the month of June, however, showed a decrease of 19.3 per cent, as compared "with June of the preceding year; May showed a decrease of 22.8 per cent., and April a decrease of 20.7 per cent.

A number of counterfeit dollars and half dollars have been circulated in Danville and silver money has been the subject ot close scrutiny, particularly dollars 'bearing date of 1876. The spurious coins appeared a few days ago and a United States secret service man was sent immediately to investigate the imatter. BIG INCREASE ON VANDALIA MAY LAND CONTRACT FOR TRANSPORTING 15 TRAINS DAILY FROM THE SOUTHWEST CHANGING ON PENNA. The Supervisor of Signals on the Vandaha railroad, from Lo gansport, was in Plymouth Wed nesday, preparing an estimate of the cost of a "Y", to intersect the Vandalia tracks at South street, and join with the Penna. tracks east of the. interlocking tower. The purpose of this new connecting track would be to accommodate a new and heavy transportation contract, upon which, the Pennsylvania Co., is a favorable bidder. The transportation will amount to about fifteen freight trains per day from St. Louis and the South west, destined for Cleveland, Buffalo and yew York city. This traffic is at present handled by the C. A. &"C. railway, and t Pennsylvania company is expecting to land the contract. This would mean an immense increased, industry for the Vandalia, and for railroad men in this vicinity. The Supervisor also stated that, if the contract was landed, the new interlocking tower would be replaced by a new and faster electrical machine. Society to Have Blue Book. South Bend society is to have a blue book, telling who's who. The publication will be issued from the press during the next two months, and among other things it will describe all per sons who are socially prominent in the city, giving the names of clubs to which the sociallv inclin ed belong. It will also make netition of the social conquests made by the parties described. A well-known young woman of the ity is compiling the work. All Look Alike.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body parses through the kidneys once everv rliree minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work day and night. When heahhy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of fliis impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptom pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, pout, gravel, disorders1 of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the fill ers rigftvt you will have no trouble with your kidneys. John Glass, farmer, R. F. D. three and a half miles south of Plvmouth, Ind., says: "I doctored for kidney coTTuplaint for a long time and spent a good deal of money for same but was never relieved and cured until I commenced using Doan's Kidney Pills which I purchased at the People's Drug Store at Plymouth. I was in such a bad condition when I first coirrmencetj using Doan's Kidney Pills ttfiat 1 could hardly ftraighten up. The kidney action was- weak and bothered me so nights that I could not rest. I suffered fron: severe (headaches and occasional spellh of dizziness and fainting sensations. I was weak and run down from the disease. I can truthfully state that the use of less than eigfht boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills corrected all the kidftey idtisorder, aches and pains. I have recommended the use of this remedy to others since being cured myself."

On the petition of the First Trust and Savings company as representative of the Associated Clearing House banks of Chicago, Myron J. Carpenter, formerly president of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad was Thursday named by Judge C. C Kohlsaat of the federal circuit court at Chicago, as receiver of the Southern Indiana railway. This railroad is the principal line of the Walsh group of roads and owns practically all of the. stock of the Chicago Southern railway, built to give a Chicago outlet for the coal mined on the Welsh lines. Naturally the receivership will be extended to include the Chicago Southern. A petition of intervention Iras been fded and the necessary order will be made by Judge Kohlsaat Saturday. So far there has been no default of interest-by the Illinois Southern Railway company another part of the Walsh system, and it is understood thlat John R. Walsh is fight-f ing to keep this particular line out of receivership. For weeks Mr. Walsh lias been struggling to avert the appointment of a receiver for any of his roads, but it was as a man catching at straws. The matter is of vast importance to Walsh, who is now under sentence to serve five years' imprisonment for misap plying the fujads of the Chicago National lank, one of the institutions he controlled. The misapplication consisted in loaning the banks monev to these railroads, alleged to be unsafe security. In May the Walsh roads failed to pay $40,000 taxes due the state of Indiana ami various counties. townships and municipalities in this state. Legallv this made the year's taxes of $SO,000 a lien against the- roads. Any county could take possession of the rail roads and such a proceeding was actually lcgun in one Italian a county, but Walsh s attorney managed to get the appointment of a receiver postponed until the September term of court. Besides all this the roads owe over $800.000 floating indebtedness. FOR RENT September 1st, seven room house. Well,' cistern, cellar and stable. Four blocks from town. Apply this office.
