U TAR D RBIEGST %7 Dug:ﬁj&tyor of Huntington, was arrested the other day, charged with intoxication. The complaining witness is a county officer of the same political party, who was recently f(ined before the mayor for visiting a house of ill repute. Dugan will be tried, Tuesday. Business will no doubt be better soon The supply of manufactured articles is becoming exhausted by the long suspension of factories and the natural demand for these articles will despite all contrary forces that may exist, start the wheels of industry tc bumming again. : Os sixty-seven queens of Franc only thirteen have died without leav ing their history a record of misery Eleven were divoreed, two executed nine died young, seven were 800! widowed, three cruelly treated, thre ; exiled; the poisoned and brokenhearte: = make up the rest. The Elkhart Truth, Congressmal Conn's paper, thus corrects a false ru mor that has been in circulation: “Al effort has been made by some of th newspapers of northern Indiana tc create the impression that Congressmal Conn was one of the bolters agains the Wilson bill. An examination of th Record will show that Mr. Conn wa present at all of the roll calls an yoted with his party to make a quorur and for the consideration of the Wi son bill. What is the use of#% ni . ati ” A unsrep[esentat o S The LaPorte Ass#® the competent, bilities th this country, is illusambi e fact that less than ten g®s ago the Mayor of Chicago was a g Tumber shover at Pullman, and his e wages were $1.25 a day. He “sawed wood” by attending strictly to business and making himself a valuable man wherever he was put. The result was he grew rapidly in favor, was promoted often, and soon engaged in business for himself. His success was great because he proved himself worthy and he deserved all he received. He was - one of the few who are anxious to do -~ & little more for his employer than ~ was absolutely demanded of him.| That kind of meg vy A eSS auurmation about a joint lette of X advocating that something more b T » done to aid residents and busines i . owners who live and work in a Mo . area atfected by a plume of con ' taminated ground water., y T ¥He Tndianapolis News says: «There is an interesting rumor here about the political aspirations of exCongressman Shively. There was much surprise when Mr. Shively regs tired from Congress voluntarily. He was young and ambitious, had m:tde( a splendid record on the ways and | means committee, and his colleagues’ were unable to account for his declining further political honors in thel Lower House. But it seems Mr. Shively had only let go to secnre‘ a better hold. He is now a candidate | : for either Senator or Governor of In- | diana. He isn’t certain which, but |, hopes to land one of these choice .3] % plums.” ’ ] Shively will undoubtedly be heard | rom again. As to his remaining per- | anently in private life, hardly seeins | } bable. He is not built that way. 1

e A The German Emperor is having 2 new crown made. The old one is get- \ ting worn, and the Kaiser no doubt finds it up-hill work to do a good job of reigning with it. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage has announced that he will retire from the pastorate of the Brooklyn tabernacle in March next, which will mark the completion of his 25th year as pastor of that church. There seems to be a movement on foot to re-instate ex-Master Workman Powderly in office with the Knights of Labor, but he is reported as saying that he would not accept the place again if it were offered him. Although horses are extremely cheap now there may be still further declines in values. The extensive application of electricity as a motor power is causing a gradual decrease in the demand for horses.

He holds that labor i’ saving machinery has made such progress that one man is now able to Z do as much work as twenty 75 years 1 ago, and he believes that over produc- ; tion is responsible for the idleness of " | millions today. This, he holds, would ’| be done away with if two hours should be made the day's work limit. lr Fifty-two prisoners are now waiting behind the iron barred gratings of ¢ | Cook county jail, Chicago, chargec ¢ | with murder, Besides this large num- , | ber of men who are to be tried so .| their lives, over 500 other prisoners y charged with almost every ecrime ol O the calendar are in the jail awaiting trial.— Ex. e| A large per cent of these criminal . | were doubtless impelled to outlawr) ;. | from poverty and lack of employmen , caused by the hard times.
