The net earnings were .",- 757,(100, and the net income over all charges was 'i.MS.oiO. The cool weather, while it d.-lays the dotting of winter garments has its advantages.

The Northern Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church ojM-ns at Elwood today. The session promises to be a very interesting one. The meetings will Ik? hekl in the new M. E. church at that place. one of the finest in the state. The American Tiu l'late company has invite! the ministers to visit the mammouth plant at Elwood and they will avail themselves of the opiortunity some day this week. The reiort comes from Tojioka that David Nation has become tired of playing the role of "Carrie Nation's husband." lie is oiuj to move to his farm and do business on his own account. lie was a captain and he prefers the lioncr of having lotn a smasher of the jreat rebellion to that of bcintf the meek and lowly spouse of the saloon smasher. His course iu this matter may have been somewhat influenced by the fact that Mrs. Nation's zeal in the saltxm Miiashinr business was largely produced by the drunkenness of her first husband. David probably has no sympathy with the saloons, but he may prefer that his predecessor's career should not cut quite so lare a figure in his own domestic atTairs. Iu fact he may not care to be con stautly reminded that he had a pre decessor, especially as he was not at all a creditable one. Just after Easter is an appropriate time to call attention to the cruel slaughter of birds that is going on in this country to supply the demand for ladies' hat and bonnet ornaments. A report of a ''committee on North American Wirds' givessomestartling information on this subject. The case of one hunter in Texas is cited who boasted that be and a companion had, in 1S8;, shot 81t birds in five days and 1,0'2.5 in six or seven days The principal birds taken were water birds; but brightly colored land birds' found a ready market, and any white breasted birds could be sold. Special war was waged on the gulls and terns, whose white breasts are just now greatly desired by the plumed hat wearers. The report says: "Ihe close of the year marked a great increase in the demand for gulls, terns and other sea birds for millinery purposes. In one case postal cards offering a regular scale of prices for birds were sent to post masters all along the Gulf coast with requests to place them in the hands of gunners and fishermen. All these birds are useful. The gulls are the scavengers of the sea. The land birds are the destroyers of harmful insects. Without birds life in this world would lose much of its charm. Shall they be exterminated by man's cupidity, woman's vanity and bovs' destructiveness? The Indianapolis Press is the only respectable American newspaper that has found fault with Governor Wood for suppressing the Havana sheet that indecently caricatured President McKinley and General Woxxl, representing them as the two thieves iu the crucifixion scene and Cuba as occupying the position of Christ on the cross. Here is the burden of the Press' howl: One of the fundamental rights of man, as the founders of our Republic conceived them and as we have developed them, is the right of free speech, with the corrective right of a free press Where these are depieJ liberty does not exist and free-

dom is a farce. Thousand of more offensive cartoons than this are published in the United States every year, yet no officer intrusted with power by the people would dare for a moment to think of suppressing the newspapers that publish thern or of imprisoning their authors. We are endeavoring to teach the Cubans self government, and here we have the man appointed to do this using the military force at his command to carry out a whim caused by puerile resentment! Is the picture a pleasant one? We are endeavoring to teach the Cubans respect for law acd order. We rescued them from an unscrupulous and merciless despot at a cost of

many precious lives and millions of money. Shall we now allow any up-1 start who happens to be in j control of a newspaper to undo all ! that has been accomplished by teach- j ing the half civilized natives of Cuba that their rescuers are thieves, robbers and enemies? Cuba is in a transition state that may end in good government or anarchy. It is in the throes of a struggle for existence as a civilized community. When this country was undergoing such a struggle Abraham Lincoln did not; hesitate to suppress seditious speech j and newspaiers. Any patriotic I President would have done the same thing. DUBLIN. Several new patterns of the lawn swing are the products of some of the genius of Dubliu. A. J. Hilby is having considerable repairing done on the property lately bought of Mrs. Jane Hammond. A proposition is now on foot to pay our marshal one dollar a day or l?:s5 ijer year, with no extra pay for any kind of work, which will bring out a large number of candidates for the oflice this spring. I'rof. Guy Jones of Cadiz was down to see his parents Sunday week ago. Miss Myrtle Layrnon was visiting friends in and about Cadiz part of last week. There will no doubt be some from Dublin who will attend the M. K conference the last of the week and over Sunday at Elwood. Tuesday evening the citizens meet in the Odd Fellows' hall to nominate a ticket. lucre will tie two points in this election that will elicit some interest. One is that of the marshal. and the other whether we are to have cement sidewalks. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Lamb of Mishawaka have been here several days visiting their mother, Mrs. Jane Gilmore, and other friends. Ihe sick of our town at present are Jolin tmyiler, Jesse Uiatt. Mrs. Claude Canady, Samuel Sheidler and David Muhon. Some others not so serious. Mrs. Jane Gilmore sold her eighty acre farm, three miles southwest of Dublin, a few tiays ago to Prof. Daniel Ellabarger of Richmond. Mrs. Gilmore did wisely in thi sale as she is entirely alone, her children having all left her and no one to see to anything but herself. She can certainly see more satisfaction if shewere to move where neighbors were not so few and far between. The Liberal Hrethren are soliciting subscriptions for the repair of their eliurch, which will be considerable if itrv uii uotie s tu-y wn-.ii. It is not given out definitely as yet who are now the proprietors of the lumber yard here of the late John Fouutaiu. The lumber will lie left here and run as it has been. ClilT Mason and father sold their tine lot of hogs the other day at Indianapolis at top of the market figures. Morlgage Exemption. Persons desiring to get the benefit of the $7(H) exemption had better come to the court house to get their affidavits made.

Depew, ar rested at the Chittenden hotel on the charge of attempting to beat a board bill, yesterday made a remarkable con fessiou to the chief of police. He stated that his right name is M. II. iK'puy aud that his home is at Minneapolis. While there he was employed as confidential clerk and Ixmkkeeper for Fletcher Brothers of the MiuueaKilis Klevator company. In that capacity he claims he bad the combination of the safe and one night stole l'oo froui the safe and tied. Iu a few months after this he went back to Minneaolis. nnd. as he had taken one of the front door keys with him. he let himself iu and stole goods to the value of $luo. He then collected a lot of old letters and set tire to them, tne tire destroying the entire block. He made his escape again from the city nnd shortly afterward was met by his parents at another place. He informed them of what crimes he had committed in Minneapolis and they aided him iu getting away. His parents, whom he claims are resecfable and wealthy ieple. did this iu order that he might escape prosecution and not disgrace them. He promised to reform ami says that so far as his pareuts know he is supposed to le leading an exemplary life. IVpuy said he had gone to Chicago and thence to Dayiou. where he had a Piukerton tvidge made and forged the names of Allau and William Piukerton to a certilicate that he was in their employ. From Hay ton lie came to Columbus and lie says he intended to fleece a iiuuiIht of persons by pretending that he desired to employ a stenographer and to secure w hat money he could from applieauts and theu jump the city. Bishop Turner's Keconinieotlattniis. Maeou. t!a.. April t. Iiishop Heury M. Turner of the African Methodist church, who has leen conducting services anioug the negro churches here for the past two days. ojen!y advocates the banishment of negro criminals. He thinks the Uuited States government should send all negro criminals to Africa. He deplore the faci that this country bas no steamship lines to Africa. He thinks southern ports in the I'nited States would profit a great deal by the commerce tiiat would Uiu be built up.
