CITY AND VICINITY

TUESDAY Chaa. D j aa and I. A. Leave! went to Wabash today on business. Mrs. David if ilton, near the depot. is reported seriously sick. FrankCostigan, Prea. of Canton Bridge Co., was here yesterday on business. Miss Rene of Evanston, who has been nursing Mrs EL. L. Brown returned home today. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Uim r turned home today, from a two months’ visit with relatives in Ohio. Mrs. F. Monnett, of Evanston, cams yesterday for a few davs’ vis > with her daughter, Mrs. H L. Brown. Here is a temperance lecture. Out nf every one hundred alcoholics who have pneumonia, seventy die. while of one hundred nonalcoholics so attacked only twenty three die. Mrs. James Maloy, sick with pneumonia at the home of her son, Dr. Bernard Maloy, at Steger, Id , ■was improving at last reports The reports regarding Mrs. Bernard Maloy, however, are still 'Uniformly discouraging. Will Imes, of Hammond, visited his family here last night and to■day left on a trip to New Orleans. Ha will visit his sou Bib, the youthful j >ckey, who has a horse riding engagement there, and also transact soma other business matters. Shelby Comer, of 7 or 8 miles north, came in and produced ticket No. 620, which made him the owner of a fine new Majestic range, at £ D. Rhoades’ hardware store. As it happened Shelby did not need the range, having bought one just like it in October, but Mr Rhoades showed him '‘something else just as good," and he went home ‘‘happy as a lark” And probably a good deal happier than those two particular larks of little judgement elsewhere mentioned as braving the terrors of this arctic winter in this vicinity. By the way this very ticket on which Shelby drew the range was one of those he received when he bought the other range, in October.

And now come "Jin” Wright Doo Kannal, and various other nuhappy victims of the confirmed hunting habit, who pick up and turn over every winter bird in Jasper countv at least once every year to examine them for indications of being qnails in disguise, and they scout the idea that the two meadow larks seen last week bv H. J. Dexter, are indications that spring is coming down the pike at a sure aud rapid rate. These same lorn larks, they joint iy and severally declare, have been hereedhwinter, and that they have seen them with their own eyes and turned them over with their own feet. Moreover they declare that some meadow larks stay over every winter and moreover they plainly intimate that in their opinions meadow larks are no more reliable judges of the weather than a man who does not know enough to come into the house when it rains. And in view of the fact, which they seem to have fully established that these larks had no more sense than to stay in Jasper during such a winter as thia, we are disposed to agree with them in this very unfavorable view of their weather judging abilities.

February is keeping up the the pace all right. The first day was 10 below z«ro, The second brings a howling blizzard.

WEDN.SDAY Mrs. Bertha O’Neil of Chicago came last evening for an extended visit with her parents Mr. and Mrs. E M Parcels. The 3:30 p. m. train north yesterday was snow bound at Brookston, and over three hours late when it reached here Mrs. Grace Churchill, of Randall Minn., is visiting relatives here and Monticello and went to the latter place, this afternoon. Mr and Mrs Frank Burns, a young couple married last summer left today for their future home in Pulaski cou »ty, where they have rented a farm near Oik po-t office

Last night was another very cold one, the lowest temperature recorded by the U S thermometer being a little below five degrees below zero At 639 this morning it was three Lelow The union revival meetings at the M. E and Presbyterian churches still continue and with excellent attendance considering the bad weather. The meetings have been in the Presbyterian building for a number of evenings past, and will begin tonight in J the M. E church The only favorable prophecy for February weather yet seen, that seems btsed on sound reason, is in one of the Indianapolis papers, which asserts that there wi 1 not be as much co d weather in February as there was in January, because it is two days shorter. But even about that prophecy there is a goo I deal of guesswork.

Ben Preble has sold his barber business, on Cullen street, to Leonard Tullis ,<.f southwest of town, who has quit farming and just had a public sale. Mr. Tu lis will move to town and take personal charge of the shop, retaining the services of Sam Hendrickson who is now working in the shop. Mr. Preble intends to move to North Dakota in the- spring,—if we ever have one

The beautiful snow had its beautiful complexion badly covered up with dirt yesterday, which came in with the blizzird from the northwest. It is a puzzle where the dirt came from, but perhaps someone one out in that direction will discover they have lost several acres of more or less valuable soil, aud then the puzzle will be solved.

Even in Sou'hern California the people are not always satisfied with the kind of weather they get, though'"tbiß time it seems their pleasant weather is too plenty to be profitable. The usual winter rains have not appeared and the people are becoming greatly concerned thereat. It is also stated that all the churches in Los Angeles were to make a concerted prayer for rain. Disclaiming any intention to epsak irreverently, we still would suggest that if the prayers of the good people out there prove effective in changing meteorological conditions, we wish, after they get their own weather prayed into * shape to suit them that they would bead off a few of the blizzards and cold wave* that are afflicting the old Hoosier state.

Mrs. B. Forsythe returned home last evening after a week’s visit at New Philadelphia, Ohio. Charles Harmon went to Pontiac, 111., his o’d home, this morning, for a few days visit with relatives.

Warren Washburn returned to Goodland today after a short visit with Lis mother, Mrs. Martha Washburn.

M s Michael Schneider, of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived today, called by notice that her aged mother Mrs. John Bislosky Br., west of town, was very low. The Ist day of February was a cold wave; the second day a blizzard, the 3rd both cold wave and blizzard. Surely February is keeping up the pace. Rev. J. A. Cochran, of the F. W. Baptist church it jnbw holdings revival meeting at his Parr congregation, with a good attendance and much interest manifested. Hun. Wm. 0. Wnitney, of New j York, secretary of the navy under Cleveland, and one of the ablest Democrats in the country, died Tuesday, while under aenestbetics, preparatory to an operation for appondeoitis.

Sylvester S. Morris, a farmer living near Burdick, in Porter county, hanged himself in the jail at Valparaiso, early Monday morning. He was insane, and was being held pending the commencement of proceedings to send him to an asylum, He was 55 years old.

Architect 0. R. Weatherhogg was over from Fort Wayne, today, holding another meeting with the library board, to settle some details of the specifications for the proposed building. The question of healing the building was principally under discussion, and evoked quite a variety of opinions. Leonard Tullis had a public sale Tuesday, at b'S place about seven miles southwest. It was a good sale in spite of the bad weather, most of the property selling at gefod prices. The sale footed Up about SBOO. Today Wesley Price, in Barkley has a sale, and tomorrow, J. H.

EDITORS GREETED

Senator Beveridge In Thoughtful Strain Sounds a Stirring Campaign Keynote. j FORWARD IS THE WATCHWORD The Principles of Republicanism Eloquently Outlined by Indiana's Brillant Junior Senator—Senator Fairbanks Sends Cordial Words of Greeting and Congratulations. Notable features of the annual convention of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association were the greetings received from both of Indiana’s distinguished senators. Senator Beveridge had accepted an invitation to be present at the meeting, but his attendance was prevented by physical indisposition. He however sent a letter addressed to the association through President Stivers and Secretary Montgomery, the reading of which created great interest and enthusiasm. Senator Beveridge said:

“It had been my purpose until yesterday to be with you at your annual banquet. But during my recent indisposition from the grip there has been such an accumulation of official work and duties here that I find it impossible to leave Washington at this particular time. You may be quite sure that nothing else would prevent me from meeting the Republican editors of Indiana iace to face.

“While all the meetings of your association are important, this one is particularly so, for another national campaign is approaching In which the Republican press of the state and nation must bear the heaviest part of the great work of presenting the views of our party to the whole people. A Suggestion of Purposes. “While it is impossible in the brief limits of a letter or even in such an address as the proprieties of the occasion would permit at the banquet table, .to set out in detail the record of our Republican administration and the relation of what we have done, are doing and propose to do for the welfare of the country, it is possible to make a suggestion of our purposes in general and of the spirit which animates us and differentiates us from the opposition. "First of all, the Republican party has come to be the party of conservatism. It is the party of progress, too, but of conservative progress. We believe that the good accomplished in the past should be preserved and that the evils which have developed along with the good of our industrial and commercial system, are so radical and ill-advised that, were they put in force, they would also destroy the good with the bad. From this position of moderation and good sense we will not be swerved by any temporary clamor—by the agitation of thoughtless men or the attempts of the reckless to array our people into classes. We are one nation, one people—with all of our interests woven inextricably into the great fabric of our common prosperity. And so, in our policies we have kept in mind this dependence of every citizen on every other citizen, and of every industry on every other industry. From our viewpoint labor and capital are the different sides of the same shield, beneath which In safety reposes the well-being of the American people; from the viewpoint of our opponents labor and capital are hostile forces.

“We have been and must continue to be the upholders of law and order. A general review of our legislation will show that the laws we have passed have been for the benefit of the whole people and our administration of ail the laws of the country, no matter by what party passed, demonstrates that we enforce the statutes of the country with fearless impartiality. “Our foreign policy has been one of peace with all nations; and this policy has-never been interrupted by us save when the Interests of humanity and the safeguarding of the republic’s future have Imperatively demanded a sterner course.

“So that a description of the spirit which animates the Rejßiblfcan party might be summed up In these three words: Conservatism, progress, peace —and as the necessary result of all of these the steady and continuous prosperity of the whole land To the test of this high standard all our work for the nation may be put; and It will be found that our record measures up to Its high requirements. Appealing to the Firesides.

"Careful observers have noted the steady increase among the people of that thoughtfulness, poise and reserve which alone can make a republic permanent and successful. And it is to this growing tendency of the people to consult their sober second thought that we appeal. Mature reflection Is the wisest counsellor which either a man or a party can have, just as prompt action Is a man’s or a nation’s best servant when a wise course has been carefully determined. And so it is that the record, purposes and spirit of our party will Increasingly appeal to the firesides of the nation where all large questions are discussed and determined. and where the verdict is really made which Is afterward registered at the ballot box.

“It Is for these reasons that T confidently say to yon. the Republican editors of Indiana, who must carry oar measaae to every home In the commonwealth. that your task this year will not be fruitless; but that your

labors will be rewarded by an emphatic vote of approval of the Repubj lican party, to which we are ail in common equally devoted. I have no fear that this statement will inspire overconfidence, It is not necessary to j frighten good soldiers by the sugges- | tion of a possible defeat. Men like the Republican editors of Indiana, and inI deed the ranic and file of our party, are the kind of men to whom the knowledge that they are striving for wise and righteous principles and policies is sufficient Inspiration for sleepless vigilance and unrelaxing effort They are the kind of men who do not need the stimulus of fear on the one hand, and on the other hand, are not to be drugged into neglect of duty by the prospect of certain victory. Going Forward Confidently. “Let us then go forward to our work with the strength which comes from the knowledge that we are right; with that calmness which is always the evidence of ‘ real might, and with that pleasure in our labor which the belief that we will be successful always brings and with that enthusiasm inspired by Theodore Roosevelt who as the maker of the record which must be our platform, will be overwhelmingly elected president of the whole people of the United States whom he has with devotion and impartiality so faithfully served. He is a commander who has never known defeat. Under his leadership we will this year achieve another overwhelming victory for sound policies, right principles and conservative and farseeing American statesmanship. "Will you not present to your association collectively and to each member of it Individually, my kindest regards, and remember me very especially to the wives of the editors who at the last banquet were such an attractive element of it and whose responses won such merited applause? Say to all the members of your jissoelation that I shall hope to meet each of them during the coming campaign and add my efforts to theirs in behalf of the oause for which we are all coworkers.” Senator Fairbanks' Greeting. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks sent the following telegraphic greeting from Washington to the Republican editors on the same occasion: “I wish you would kindly express to the Republican Editorial Association the very great regrets of Mrs. Fairbanks and myself that we are unable to be with you tonight We hope that you may have a most delightful meeting. No one can overestimate the splendid work which the Republican editors of Indiana have done in upholding and advancing the cause of good government. All honor to them! Health and happiness to you each and all!” .

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

Indiana Republican Editors Make a Declaration of Principles. At the recent annual meeting of the Indiana State Republican Editorial association the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote: "The Indiana Republican Editorial Association assembled In regular meeting for 1904, declare continued unfaltering allegiance to Republican principles and policies, which have brought such great prosperity to the American nation and carried the blessings of liberty and just government to all Its inhabitants. "We reassert the Republican doctrine of equality of every American citizen before the law and in the use of the elective franchise. “The Republican press of Indiana heartily approve and indorse the courageous, wise and patriotic administration of Theodore Roosevelt as' president of the United States, and we most emphatically favor his nomination and election for another term in the office so ably and acceptably filled by him, and we pledge our most earnest efforts to this end. “The Republican press of Indiana, recognizing the wise counsel and splendid ability of Senator M. A. Hanna as chairman of the Republican national committe cordially express their appreciation of the same and express hope that he will continue In the same capacity for another term. “The wise administration of state affairs under Governor Winfield T. Durbin has our hearty- approval and we commend his successful efforts to bring additional honors to Indiana through an efficient state administration. We note with, approval the seconding of Governor Durbin’s good work by the state officers, in whose record of efficlence we have just pride. "We send greetings to our senior and junior senators, Fairbanks, and Peverldgo, who have brought honor to Indiana by their great ability In the United States senute, and wo declare our loyal support to Albert J. Heverfdge for his re-election to the senate by the next legislature. "The ability, wisdom and patriotism of Indiana’s representatives In congress Is a matter of just state pride. The loyalty of our Republican congressmen to the cardinal doctrines of the party of Lincoln, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt has our enthusiastic approval, and we applaud their ability as advocates and defenders of Republican principles and policies. “Hon? James P. Goodrich, chairman, and his associates on the state central committee have our united support and co-operation In the essential and Important public service of keeping the state of Indiana In the Republican column, with our banners yet higher advanced, and every pledge the public welfare, through the agency of our party, sacredly kept and fulfilled.’ ■man—i
