It has no party obligations or affiliations to em- _ barass it. It asks nothing of any party g such. It gives the news without re- - gard to the fortunes of democrats, re.p\iblicans or any other organization. It isngp neutral, but it gives its readers a chance to read all sides, or, at least, to know the facts as they really are, with- ~ put coloring or suppression for party reasons. The number of persons who like that kind of a paper is increasing EYery year. e v With this week’s issue of the Michigan City Dispatch, its former publisher, Harry Francis, makes his bow and yetires and his successors, Dr. Thomas Harrison and son, of Lebanon, Ind., take his place. As Mr. Francis, the founder of ihe Dispatch, who has so ably edited it during the prosperous ten years of its existence, hids good bye to his associates of the press and the editorial sanctum to serve the public in other capacities, we see him leave with regret, yet we bid him godspeed feeling assured that, as he has been loyal to his party and the public in the past, he will continue to use his talents for their welfare in the future. The new proprietors start in with a good field befure them and every indication of winning the confidence and respect of their coanstituents. e————— TYNER CITY. “‘Hank Ford has gone to South Bend on business.

RECLAIMING SWAMP LANDS. At the Palmer House, Chicago, on Friday of last week, about one hundred prominent persons met to taxke meas- , ures concerning the drainage of the Kankakee swamp lands. Mr. Clem l Studebaker, of South Bend, was chosen chairman, and Mr.J. W. Yonche, of LaPorte county, secretary. After an address by Mr. Studebaker in which he set forth in detail the ohjects of the meeting, a gensral discussion took place as to the importance of the project in hand, and the best imeans of insuring its adoption. The following petition to the Indiana legislature was read, approved and signed by those present: To his excellency, Alvin P. Hovey, Governor of Indiana.—To the Honorable, the senators and representatives of the general assembly of the state of Indiana: The undersigned ecitizens and property owners of the state of Indiana, respectfully and urgently pray for relief at your hands in the matter of the drainage of the marsh lands in the valley of the Kankakee river. This valley contains abcut 1,700 square miles of marsh and malarial lands, which are not only worthless for farming purposes but a constant and serious menace to the health of a considerable portion of the inhabitants of the state; while adjoining territory, notwithstanding the unhealthy influence of these swamps, is worth from SSO to §BO per acre for farming purposes. Your petitioners are informed that, by the expenditure of less than £50,000, this large area can be ryeclaimed, and thereby remove the baneful influence of malaria and increase the wvalue of these lands from thirty to forty millions of dallars, and their taxable valu- ! ation to a corresponding extent. | The point at which this expenditure is needed is at and near Momence, 111., about six miles west of the Indiana line. on the Kankakee river, where a channel 200 feet wide by 13 feet deep must { be cutin a limestone bed or rock which | crosses the river at that point. As a guarantee against possible interference in the prosecution of this work by the State of Indiana, or its contractors within the limits of Illinois, the attorney general of your state has recommended and advigsed that all owners of property along the Kankakee river from the Indisna state line to a point west of where the chanuel is to be cat, shall execute deeds of trust to the auditor of ¥ndiana and his successors. These deeds have already been executed and delivered to the state of Indiana, so that the work proposed shall be done without claim for damages on the part of the grantors. Believing that the sanitary relief and actual increase of wealth to the state of Indiana will commend our petition to vour early and favorable consideration your petitioners will ever pray. Clem Stugebaker, A. Bierma, W. R. Shelby, W. D. Howell, Isaac D. Dunn, Harvey Pettibone, J. F. Talcott, Franklin Sanders, John Brown, George Horn, J. Dinwiddie, J. D. Little, John Fisher, J. L. Conboy, And others, The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That it is the gense of this meeting that the first and and most important step to enable the land owners to drain and reclaim the 1,700 square miles of swamp and overflow lands of the Kankakee valley, in the state of Indiana, is the cutting of a channel of sufficient width and depth through the ledge of rock which extends across the ' Kankakee river at Momence, 111., so as to afford an outlet for the marsh; and to 1 accomplish this we request an appro= priation be made by the state of Indiana from the state treasury of such a sum ag will bring about these improved conditions. ' County committees weTe then appointed as follows: Lake—John Brown, Joseph A. Little, Oscar Dinwiddie, Porter—W. D. Howell, Dr. John Blackstone, DeForest L. Skinner. LaPorte—J. L. Conboy, Charles Pets, George Dennison, St. Joseph—Dixon W. Place, Asa Knott, Clem Studebaxker, Starke— William H. Coffin, W. H. McLanghlin, Dr. Henderson. Jasper—lsaac D. Dunn, William Danhexke, George Hohn, Newton—John Brady, John Sink, James DeWolf. These committeemen will circulate the petitions among their townsmen, then return them to Chairman Studebaker who is authorized to select a committee of five including himself as chairman and Youche as secretary, to present the petitions to the legislatuye. P The supreme court of this state has decided that a township trustee is not entitled to receive out of any fund more than $2 for official service during any one day. 5o when he had been paid $2 for a day’s service he is not entitled to %2 more for the same day as overseer of the poor. . i Citizens of Westville, LaPorte coun- | ty, have been honored by **White Cap” warnings. The Indicator says that . three of the regulation notices were ‘ posted up in which certain persons were | warned in solemn words surronnded by | awe-inspiring orunaments, such as the ‘ sxull and eross-bones, to mend their | { ways, or leave town. | 1 RS ————————— ‘ ‘ DR.
