Senator Albert J. Beveridge Recommends

. Ex-Sheriff of Marshall County to the Position Confirmation of the Senate is Expected Today or Tomorrow

After a year of campaigning. , , i . . 1-, 1 - -. vr . in wliicu no less iiian a nun mwc of candidates participated, which in the last fe.v month's narrowed down to five active participants, the appointment of postmaster in the citv of Plymouth, nas been finally awarded to Monroe Steiner. The news of the appointment was given iby Senator Albert J. Beveridge late Tuesday after. noun. The a pt join tin en t will, no doubt, be confirmed by the unit ed States Senate today. As soon as the appointment is con firmed. Postmaster-elect Steiner will furnish .1onds in the sum ot $20.('ioo. which will be forwarded to W aslungton. and upon tneir acceptance, the commission oi Mr. Steiner will be issued, and a post ottice inspector sent to i lyto inaugurate- the new regime, in me locat leuerai uepartmcnt. A Beveridge Man. The other active candidates for the !cal appointment were the Messrs. Dr. S. C. Ioring, Heruert liess, l i. oarn, ami me- -. T- . t present incumbant J. A. Yockey. The appointment ot Mr. Steiner marks the establishment of what is known in politics as the Bevc- , idge Republicans, into power in Iar.-'vall county. Heavy politics .vere played in the appointment ust announced, and hunklreds of dan. were proposal, discussed, veighed and dismissed, by the neu who had the naming of the tpl!ntee. The railroads froim tins citv to HM.ianapons, nave profited financially to no smasll extent from the travel of candidates, aiiid would be candi' bites iO the state capitol, to argue .heir cases before the men who "have the saw Strongest Man Wins. The success of Steiner in :)lu eking the federal plum here, is a victory of the fittest. The strongest candidate won. Steiner s success, was premctcu ov rhose who knew, only a week Until a week ago, it is safe to siy tiiUt none in 1 lymonth had km ii wie. Ige of to whom the pDowitmcni would fall. 'Hie lorting men of this city, offered Sets on various candidates, etc, but even the can' Hkkites them selves were not "wise" until a very few days ago. Steiner was a strong supporter of Charles Mill?r in his campaign for Congressnan u the Thirteenth district. The present 'incumbant was opoosed U the Beveridge people, m l s ) senned predestined to defeat. The com mission of J. A. Yockey the present incumbant, expires Thürs lay Dec. 10. Mr. Yockey will continue as post"or t!ie past eight years. Mr. Yockey will continue; os postnaster. until Mr. Steiner is qualfied and receives his commission. The appointment for a period of "our years. The appointment of Postmaster is governed by the politics of the national ad minisration. If the president is Republican, sill of the postmasters of the country arc Republican. It is a relic of the Spoils system, which in time must give wav to -tivil service and compeditive exmination. or by popular election Sketch of Successful Man -Monroe Steiner the Plymouth postmaster elect is a self made man. He began in life without a farthing and although not wealthy, is today ranked eis one of the successful men of Plymouth. He was born six miles northwest of! Lakeville, St. Joseph county, on une 10, ISfil. His parents were Daniel and Elizabeth Steiner. 'Iis father enlisted in the Union irwy, attd was killed the year of Monroe's birth, hsOl, at Tennessee. His mother rs still living at Hibbard this county. As a boy, Steiner worked in the fields. When a young man, he obtained! employment on the ection, and rarneid, as friends relite tot lay ninety-eight cents per day. He learned the auctioneerng art, of Jerry Hildebrand at Lakeville, and made that his business, before moving to Plymouth. He moved to this city 11 years ago, ami -with J. X. Vilon established the auctioneering which he kit er assumed alone, and has continued with the greatest possible success until the present. In 190-1 Steiner was elected to the office of Sheriff of Marshall county on the Republican ticket, by the majority of .'fil. one of the largest majorities any Republican candidate 1ras received in this country which is normally over 100 Democratic, Steiner made his friends in the auctioneering business, and they were friends who stonl by him. He served two years as' sheriff, and then resumed his old trade of auctioneering. Has Cried 1250 Sales. Monroe Steiner has cried moro sales in the past twelve years, -so he insists, than any other man in northern Indiana. He has averaged over l."0 sales per year, in the past twelve years, and is sure

GETS LOCAL

that he has cried more than 1,2."o sales since he has been in t Wat business. Son Will Take Business. The auctioneering business held by Steiner, will 'be taken up by his. son Harold Steiner, who is already a veteran in the 'service. He has 'served his apprenticeship with his father since boyhootd c.nxl promises as saiccessful career as Ins father in the a tic tioneering business. The son is a hustler, and isi making good. He is already 'Tilling the bill," in his sales in Mashall county. Young Steiner will make good in the business turndd over by vis father. Takes Position Soon. It is probable thait Steiner will not take charge of the Plymouth post office until after January 1, which time will be required to perfect his qualification etc. Factions are Disregarded. It is apparent that the recom mendations which were sent to White House Tuesday have been made entirely without regard 'to former factions in the party, and in the numerous appointments to be made in the future Senator Beveridge will continue to ignore factionalism. The postoffice recommendations announced are as follows: Tipton Marion V. Kinder. The salary is $2000 a year. XupjKince Y"r.. Miller. The salary is $1,900 a year. I Ma infield Tay lor Reagan. The salary Is $1,."00 a year. Jonesboro F. M. Xeal. The salary is $1,500 a year. French Lick Wm. Cave. The salary is $2,200 a year. Plymouth Monroe K. Steiner. The 'salary is $?.:W0. Vineennes John W. Fvmison. The postoffice pays $2,800 a year, Yevay Thomas E. Kineaid. The salary is $1,500. Carlisle A. R. Orr. The -salary is $1,300. BERNETHA SETS CASE IN WARSAW CHARGES AGAINST KOSCIUSKO EX-OFFICIALS WILL BE TRIED. Hearing of So-Called Graft Cases Will be Had Before Plymouth Judge. The hearing of the "graft" cases in the Kosciusko circuit court probably will be but a mat. ter of a fuw -weeks, says the Warsaw Union. Judge IJernetha. of Plymouth Was in Warsaw Tuesday and it fs verv likelv he set the cases for trial. fudge F. E. Bowser -was in Plymouth Monday to sit in the Marshall circuit court in order that Judge Bernetha can come to Warsaw. It is likely that the defense in he graft cases, which represents about all of the attorneys of. the Kos-iusko bar will ask that the cases be continued; and it is likely that their request will be drawn out into a preliminary battle for delays. These men, it is whispered, do not want the cases to come to trial before the political campaign next fall. Who will be tried firsit, and when the trial will take place, are not known. It is very likely, howeveer, that there will be either a definite deloy or a defi nite date set, when the judge of Marshall county appears in Warsaw Tuesday. Judge Bowser recently, in order to facilitate matters, named three judges and allowed both sides of the case to eliminate one, so that the one remaining could try the case. Judge Bernetha was chosen in this manner to try the graft cases, aid it is understood he has taken- advantage of the first opportunity to come to Warsaw to get the cases started. Farewell on Miss O'Ryan. A number of her friends, sur prised Miss Flora O'Ryan at her home on Garro srteet Ihursday evening, to bid her farewell, and wish her good luck in her new home. With her mother and bro ther she will move to Ft. Waynt Saturday. Her brother John O Ryan, who was president of the Plymouth Driving Club during the pas tyear has been assigned to a passenger run, as engineer on the Pennsylvania. Before the change he was engineer on the milk train, df -which this citv was a terminal. Miss O'Ryan and her mother arid brother have a host of friends in Plymouth, whb regret their departure. Becomes U. S. Citizen. In circuit court Saturday, lohn Carlson of Donaldson re ceived his second papers becom ing a citizen of the United States. Ed. Monroe and Monroe Steiner were witnesses.

3Ü ADAM1-WISE WINS CASE SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR OF MACCABEE LODGE OF PERU. Allen Shunk Formerly of Plymouth Was Atty for Plaintiff Suicide Insurance. The validity of a provision in a life insurance policy that there shall be no liability in cases of suicide, "whether, member was sane or insane at the time of death" was upheld by a decision of the appellate court yesterday. The Knights of the Modern Maccabees refused to pay a policy on the life of Joseph B. Kunse formerly of Peru, on the ground thiat he hanged himself. The widow replied that he was insane when he did so, and -that the coroner haxl returned a verdict that his death was caused by "suicidal hanging, following or as a result of a demented mind." A provision in the policy that ''no benefit certificate of any member shall be invalid? where the member has been adjudged insane, prior to Iiis death, by any court of competent jurisdiction," was relied on. but the court heM that the suicide defeated the policy. Judge Watson said: "This association had the right to make such a contract. The language is plain and unambiguous and means just what it says. Attorney A'diaim E. Wise of Plymouth represented the Maccaibee lodge in the suit, which was fwwn bv his efforts. The plaintiff was represented by Attorney John- Allen Shunk formerly of Plymouth, and Attorney Annabal of Pent. The case was closely watched throughout the state of Indiana. Surprise on Jesse Miller. The friends and relatives of Jets'se Miller to the number of 40 surprised that gentleman, at his home six miles northeast of Plymouth, on last. Sunday, in honor of his seventy-third birthday.
