Step are being taken to secure a right-of-day through Cass, Piflaski, Starke ami LaPorte counties, tor an electric line, which wil'l connect Logansport with LaPorte. The same company also contemplates a road from Wabash via Rochester and Culver, to Bass Lake, where it will join the Logansport line. Attorney Charles H. Peters of Knox, is making the preliminary arrangements toward securing a right-of-way. He appeared before the county commissioners of Starke county, ;Monday, and asked that the counly donate a strip of land 50 feet wide along the east side of the county for a Tight-df:way. 'Mr. Peters said that he had reasons to beLeve that a roaki from Logansport to LaPorte would be -constructed within a year. He also -stated that the townships of North Bend, California, Center, and Davis in that county, would be asiked to vote a subsidy to the company. Arrangements at LaPorte. Atty. Peters while in 'LaPorte a few days ago, said that he would appear before the county commissioners of that county at their next meeting for the purpose of securing the necessary righ'-of-way in LaPorte county. The corporation will be known as the Logansport, Bass Lake and LaPorte Electric company, but for sfoo-rt it will be called the "Bass Lake Route." The total amount of mileage o be built. es. 60 miles, which will make the cost of ;ihe road about $900,000. When asked who the backers are, Mr. Peters said that he was not COL. Y.T. DURBIM STATE CHAIRMAN TO SUCCEED JAMES P. GOODRICH AS DIRECTOR IN REPUBLICAN PARTY. Licenses to Employment AgenciesStatistician Peetz Sends Out Blank Forms. Indianapolis, 'March 13. According to arrangements made by the Republ.cans during the sessaon of rtie legislature a meeting of the Republican state committee will be called sow time during the next 30 days when a state Chairman to succeed Jame-s P. Goodrich will be chosen to fill out the unexpired term ending in 1910. The preliminary plans Jor tfne meeting, it is understood provide for .the election of Win-field T. Durbin of Anderson, former governor, for tht place. Harry S. New, of Indianapolis former national chaiirman, it is said is also talked of for the place, although he is reported to be not at all anxious to assume the chair. Durbin on the other hand, it Is said, has signified ihis willingness to fill out the unexpired term and has said that he is willing to give it the time and attention required to shape up the preliminary affairs for the state campaiti of 1910. Charles F. Remy, former reporter of the supreme court, also has been mentioned -for the place Mr. Goodrich decided socm after the last election that he would noi seek to rema'n at the head of the state committee. He his held the po iiaon for a number of years. Now, however, ousiness demands his attention. He Js receiver for the 'C. C. & L. railroad and manages to keep busy without giving any attention to politics. State, Statistician Peetz has sent to the printer the blank forms to be used in issuing licenses to the em. plovment agencies of the state, according to an act of the legislature. The act carried an emergency clause and since it was signed by Governor Marshall virtually all of the agencies of the state which expect to continue business have conferred with the statistician concerning the provisions of the act. The law neglected to state the length of time for which licenses were to be issued, but the Intent, it is interpreted by iMr. Peetz, was for the licensrs to run -for one vear. A license fe-i of $25 is required. Moves to Logansport A marriagf license was issued Thursday af'ernoon to Wm A Holland, and Miss Florence Kleckner of this city. Th couple are well known heTe and were named Thursday afternoon. With Mf. Holland's mother the couple left for Logansport Thursday evening, where Mr. Holland will conduct a fruit farm for McCaffery & Co., of LKgansport.

INTERURBAN
THIS COUNTY wow at liberty to give their names. When asked if the Indianapolis Union Traction company was backing the project, as rumored, he said that he preferred not to answer. Tht incorporators of the company will be James C. Fletcher, John W. Long, Peter Vanderweele, Henry C. Schrecker and C. H. Peters, but they are simply acting for the real men behind the road. The right of way is now being purchased. Would Go Through Culver. The same company also contemplates a road from Wabash via Rochester and Culver, to Bass Lake where it would join the LogansportLaPorte line. Several years ago a Hne was surveyed over this route, but the peiidd of iater-urban road building ceased and nothing came of it. Beyond a doubt in time there will be electric lines connecting this part of Indiana iwath the net-work of lines in the central part of the state. The time may be close at hand, but affairs of thfs kind move slowly and the people must wait with patience their final consummation which may yet be a decade away. Sudden Death of Mrs. Graham Rose. Mrs. Christina Rose, died unexpectedly at her home three miles north of Bourbon at 11:30 o'clock a. m. Saturday. She had been ill only about a week wfh yellow jaundice, but complications set in wh?ch caused her death. On the morning of her death arrangements were being made to have Mrs. Rose, taken, to a hospital in Fort Wayne for treatment. Her condition seemed about the same until about 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, -when -she sank into unconsciousness from -which she did not recover. Mrs. Christina Rose was 50 years of age at the time of her death. She is survived by her husband, and seven dhildren, who are: Walter and Fred who reside east of Bourbon, Mrs. Flora Plummer 6 miles northwest ol Bourbon, Mrs. Edith ReichaTd, Bourbon; Lura, Plymouth; Carl, and Mary who reside at home. One sSster, Mrs. Jacob Fohz of this city, and three brothers, George Schrocder, Bour. bon; Fred Schroeder, deputy sheriff, Plymouth and Charles Schrocder north of Bourbon also survive.

Mr. Holland is in, charge of a large fruit farm owned by Mr. Qiarles McCaff rey & Co., of that city. May they have a long and happy life is the wish of their many friends. The Discoverer of Kerosene. By a singular coincidence, on the same day that the great Standard Oil suit was ended in Chicago, the man who frrst refined petroleum so as to make it a commercial illuminant died at Richmond, Staten Island, N. Y. He was Mr. Broadhurst SchieffeKn, whose grandfather founded a drug hotrsc in New York city that is still in the hands of the family. Mr. Schieffelem was born September 21, 1S24. After t xperlmenting nearly a score of years, Mr. SchicfTeleiri in 1600 succeeded in refining petroleum so as to make it a commercial success, anJ his laboratory activities irr the development of oil products made him ..xi authority. People still living remember the small kerosene lamps which in 18G1 began to take the place of other illuminants. The oil then cost seventymore light for the money than any more light for he money than any other substance known, even as it does now at ten cents. Think She Has Eloped. The Elkhart ipolice have been askeJ to search for Mrs. Rosdna Succi, 19, who has left her husband and taken all she could carry, as well as her five-months-cld child. The sudden disappearance of a married man of her acquaintance is believed to have something to do with it. Move to Oregon. Mr. rod Mrs. E. D. March and son Verne, who have been residents of this city for the past year, went to Burns, Ore., Tuesday where tf.ey will make their future home. Mr. March has Ibeen employed ait the Basket Factory here.
COPIES OF THE NEW LAWS.
They Are Expected to be in the Hands of the County Clerks by f April 15. With -the exception of 'the Wood Senate bill concerning a police matron for the city of Lafayette, on which executive action has been delayed because of the bills being lost in the rush of affairs of the closing night of the General Assembly, all the acts of the recent session ;re now in the hands of the State printer. It h probable that the bound volumes will be in the hands of the county clerks and the clerks' receipts i:i the hands of Governor Marshall by Apr. 15. The acts as sent to the printer by the Secretary of State make 10S new laws. Two hundred and fify-six pages have been 'officially O K'd, and 192 of these pages have been run off the press. The volume of the acts of 1907 contained C97 pages of act and 300 laws. Deputy Secretary of State Frank Grubbs who has chaige o: the work in tire absence of Secretary Fred A. Sims, said that virtually all of this week will be required tin preparing the index for the volume. Mr. GrtiDbs is doing all the official proof reading. The first volume of the acts of '07 was received at 3 o'clock on the aitcrnoon of March 23. ana it required 17 days to issue the remainder and place them in the hands of the county clerks. Men's Chorus Entertained. The Presbyterian men's chorus met 31 on diy evening and ftcr practice were all invited to the home of their organist, IMiss P.?'e Bender. Here instrumental and v...l music together with several games made a very pleasant evening. The guests were then invited to the Oining room. This was decorated with carnations and smilax and numerous lighted candles made the room most -cheerful. The chorus is now m its 'fourth year aitd still maintains a lively interest. They have added another violm in the person of Miss Hazel Neff and expect to do heavier work in the future. CABINET MEMBERS WILL TRAVEL PRESIDENT BELIEVES IN VALUE OF FIRST HAND INFORMATION. Secy, of War Will Go to Panama, Secy, of Interior to Alaska Other Travelers. President Taft is a strong believer in he vlri of first-hand information Experience has taught him that this is much more to be relied on than reports from subordinates, however efficient, and.-if -plans which he has made are carried out, his advisers will soon be known as the "traveling cabinet." Tours of rnKpcctiox: have already been planned for several heads of departments. Secretary of War Dickinson will rrake an early vf-it to the Isthmus of Panama to inspect the canal. Secretary of the Interior Ralliner will go to Alaska to investigate conditions in that territory, particularly in regard to public lands. Secretary of the Navy Meyer probably will v?sit the various navy-yards of the country to acquaint -himself with existing local conditions. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson expects to visit the various- state experiment stations this summer, also inspecting the packing-houses in the west. Ju't what program Mr. Taft has outlined lor Postmaster General Hitch-cock, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Attorney General Wick.rsham, Secretary of State Knox ami Secretary of Commerce and Laboi Nagle i not known, but the nation's energetic "traveling man president", as he has been called, doubtless- will find some way to keep all of them moving.

They formerly lived at Twin Lake ,and are well known here.
MAY HAVE COME FROM CHICAGO
MAN FOUND IN WOODS NEAR LAPAZ REMAINS IN SAME CONDITION. Is Unable to Converse With Any-one---Ticket May be Clue to Place Started From. The demented man found by Sheriff Voreis living in the woods north of Lapaz, Tuesday afternoon, remains in the same condition as when found, unable to talk with anyone, or give any clue to his home, name, or destination. He still spends most of the day in standing at the window of his cell in the jail, holding to the bars, and looking out of the window. The only clew to his name, was obtained when he wrote "Sven Emanuel Nelson" on a paper given him by the deputy sheriff, Tuesday evening, shortly after his arrival with the sheriff. What may be a clew to his starting point, is a hat coupon found in the felt hat which he wore when found. The hat check is from the Nickle Plate railroad, and indicates traveling from Chicago, eastward. It is possible that the man was traveling eastward on the Nickle Plate railroad, and left a train on that road at Hibbard, where he followed the Vandalia railway north to Lapaz Junction, near which place he was found. What to Do With Him? The question of what to do with the stranger, is perplexing the sheriff. Perhaps an insanity inquest can be appointed, and admittance secured for fhe man to Longcliff. No one has been reported missing in this vicinity corresponding to the Swede's description. Thursday Sheriff Voreis received a telephone call from Ed Hass, sheriff of Kosciusko county, who thought the fugitive in the local jail might be the Rev. A. C. Rand, who mysteriously disappeared from his famly at Warsaw, on March 4th, and has not been heard from since. The description did not nearly correspond however. Give Farewell Party. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Seiger were surprised at the home of her Sister, Mrs. M. M. Logan on west Jefferson street Wednesday evening by a party of about thirty friends, who had gathered to bid the cotiple Goodbye. Mr and Mrs. Stiger leave for Maza North Dakota on next Tuesday, where they will reside in the future. During the evening, progressive pedro and flinch were played. Mrs Charles Zumbaugh won first prize in the pedro game while Charles Vangilder was handed a lemon, which was the consolation. Mrs-. T. E. Houghton took first prize at flinch The friends presented Mrs. Stiger with a beautiful bracelet as a token of their friends-hip and esteem. All present wished the couple godspeed and success in their new home. To Attendf Reception. Mrs. Pauline Summers of Valparaiso, Grand Matron cf the Eastern Star parsed through this, city Thursday, entrou'te to Indianapolis where she will artend a reception given in her honor at theOennis-on hotel, by the Queen Esther circle of thai city, this evening.

It is not generally known that Indiana has a law, passed in 1883, making it. a misdemeanor to point a gun or pistol at any one, in fun or otherwise, and imposing a rime for this offense agacn'st common sense. The Supreme court, in deciding one of the cases taken up on appeal under this law, thus characterizes it. "The purpose of the act of 1883 prohibiting one penson from pointing a gun or pistol at another, k to reach two classes of persons, those who in anger or malice threateningly point such a weapon at another, anki those who do so withou tanger or malice. One class is composed of the wicked, the other of the foolish; in one case the act proceeds from wickedness, in the oher from lack of sense." Wife of Missing Minister Collapses.

Whereas God in His infinite wisdom has deemed it best to remove from our midst our beloved snster, Florence ;Mattox, Be it Resolved: That we, the Methodist Sunday School, extend to Mr. Charles 'Mattox and family o'f deepest sympathy at this time c great grief and sadness which has come into their lives, in the sudden taking trcm lifcof their beloved daughter and sister. When the skies are clouded over for some dear one that has bteri taken from the household of one of our own, we feel the graciousness of -sympathy for each other, and our hearts are tender for the grief ctr?cken father and loved ones. This Sunday iSchool can but feebly express he great sympathy we have for him and say that we tender to h!m such balm of consolation as comes only from Christ. Wc realize thai our dear Florence, a member of the Saint Elmo class. faded as a flower lingered as the leaves, and before life's autumnal winds lrOpped into the great eternity from whence she came. Her eighteen short years of Mit closed as trustfull-' as she had lived them. Her devotion to her father was symbolic of the Jeep affection of which her nature wasv capable. To know her was to love her. Diving her short illness her fortitude was remarkable, ever feeling that even her comfort must be forfeited rather than request a favor from her loved ones. She appreciated every thought and step given in administration to her wants. Her artistic, retiring temperament found solare and pleasure in her music, through which medium, the lisiene; knew she was voicing the depths of her soul. Her lips were opened last Sunday morning to sing the first verse of Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me. Shortly before she became an angel he said to one who loved her, 1 thought 1 vas an angel, was not that strange? Jesus is everything. He is the best friend of all. O father and loved ones, may your -faith be as hers Judge her love by her life. For our life is but love in act. Pure was hers; and the dear God abovewho knows what His creatures have'need of for life, through much patient strife, lei her sonil to peace. Because no sts.r ever rose and set, without influence somewhere, the'Saint Elmo girls feel rhat the sweetness of Florence's life shall never -lea'e their hearts. No life can be pure in its purpose and streng in its' strife and all life not be purer and stronger thereby. Born to soothe, to solace, to help and to heal the sick world that leaned upon her: this was Florence. Therefore, -be it further Resolved: That this resolution "be placed upon the minutes of this Sunday School and that the secretary be instructed to forward a copy to Mr. Charles Mattox. By !Mrs. Frank South worth for St Elmo Class and Memorial Committee The above was adopted by the M J. Sunday School Sunday. New Suits Filed. Alfred W. Miner and Eva E. Miner have trought suit against Henry T. Cassidy and others, compla'nt to quiet title, and to real estnte. Cora K. Myers has filed a etitioi to be appointed trustee of Esther M. Myers.

ren's Staff, Cornwallis's Surrender, Washington at Valley Forge, Our Flag, all cm dainty "Place Cards' A-ith quotations. The crowning feature of the refreshments was the large cake represcnting'Our Flag"the colors of tKc flag being bought out in the cake which the hostess cut and served to the guests. The "Cannons were an invention of the hostess, and as this is a time of peace, and no smell of powder was on them, the guests were allowed to take them home as souvenirs. This organization was started in Washington in 1890, and now has a membership of miry thousands in the United States, and some in other countries. Any wxmian, eighteen years of age who can prove direct descent from an American soldier of rhe Revolution, is eligible to membership. The organization is doing: much good in the way of inculcating patriotism, especially atnonfl srhool children, and inspiring reverence for the national flag. Daring the Spanish-American war they rendered much service to the medical department of the United States, especially in the way of choosing nurses and sending supplies to th sick. They have been instrumental in erecting monuments to the heroes of the Revolution, and ether work of this' nature. The Literary programs are instructive, and usually pertain to th history of our country. Above all the Daughters strive to be true Americans, .worthyyf their ancestors. TABER CASE . COLIPROLHSED
