Charles B. Landis was renominated for congress by acclamation by the republicans of the Ninth district on Thursday. “Newspaperiety ” ra aTTU'w” Ahis' apf ab-‘ breviation for “newspaper notoriety,” a thing that some people never seem to get enough of. Senator Hanna’s estate is valued at three million dollars. It has fallen away considerably. At first they had it twenty-five million. It is announced that Congressman Charley Landis, of the Ninth district, will be a candidate for United States senator, providing Senator Fairbanks ac cepts the nomination for vice-president. General Charles Dick has been selected as the successor to Marcus A. Hanna as United States Senator from Ohio. Mr. Dick has served in congress and is well and favorably known in Ohio politics. The Panama canal treaty has been ratified by the senate and preparations will begin at once for building the great waterway, which will mean so much for the commerce of the United States and that of other nations. As long as political ranters maintain their positions upon elevated platforms, their puffing of hot air can do no hurt, for, being lighter than the surrounding atmosphere, hot air always ascends. Florida Times-Union. Hon. Charles P. Drummond, of South Bend, is one of the democratic gubernatorial possibilities. He is a brainy man and one of the democratic party’s hardest hitters on the stump. If nominated he would put up a vigorous campaign. Some newspapers continue to denounce vaccination as a fraud, in the V’’ rdireful scientific research to be an effectual preventative of smallpox. There seems to be no room for doubt regarding the efficacy of vaccination, yet there are people and newspapers that assume to believe to the contrary with no apparent premises to sustain them. Friends, or so-called ones, who are so “touchy” that you are always in clanger of offending them with some inoffensive remark or look, are hardly worth the keeping. They are apt to cause you more annoyance than pleasure and you would perhaps be happier not to include such in your list of friends. Friends that you can not be frank and sensible With are hardly worth your while. Cut them out until they learn something. Among the strong candidates for the republican nomination for governor is Hon. J. Frank Hanly, of Lafayette. He is well known to the people of this state as an eloquent orator and a leader of his party. As a member of congress he made a clean, honorable record and held the esteem and confidence of his constituents. He is a self-made man and has no cause to be ashamed of the job. Mr. Hanly will have a very strong following in the state convention. Oranges, bananas, lemons, figs and dates, always the best to be had at the Crescent Restaurant.

It makes a person feel good to see such honest men in politics as John F. | Shafroth, of Colorado. Mr. Shafroth I vas elected to congress and his opponent contested the election, charging fraud m certain precincts. Mr. Shafroth de dared that if the least fraud was shown in his election he would voluntarily retire. As the investigation proceeded fraud was clearly shown, whereupon he arose in the house and requested that his opponent be seated. This is certainly unparalleled in modern politics and is an act of honor that inspires one with renewed faith in hie fellow-men. Mr. Shafroth is a democrat, and he should be handsomely remembered by his party. The Missouri University has taken a very decided step for the elevation of agriculture in that state. The university authorities have decided to give the study of agriculture a place as a high science, and agricultural instruction in high schools will be accepted as a basis for entrance to the university. It is proposed to introduce the study into every high school in the state. If the plan is successful no doubt other states will adopt the same course of instruction. The plan looks plausible, and it is to be hoped that the experiment in Missouri will prove practical and be the initiative for the adoption of this itnpn> W rit and .practical study generally by colleges and high schools throughout the country. An exchange most truthfully says that a man in the swag business most always swaggers. He makes up in confidence which he lacks in conscience. He tries to have it borne in on others that he is an honest man because he acts like one. But there is the trouble. Honest men don’t act. They just are as they are. They have no debate on hand as to whether they are honest. They do not raise the question themselves and others do not dare to raise it. Every good citizen should put in some time every day punching the windbags who get into power as political office holders, managers of labor unions and manipulators of political machinery. Every political party and every labor union and every social or business organization has good men at its command who can be chosen to conduct its affaire. Why should any other kind of men be tolerated? You no doubt have noticed that certain of the lower animals seem to typify the qualities of certain people you know. For instance, there is the wolf, suggesting the cowardly, grasping, wolfish tendencies of some people; the skunk, repre senting the one who is always throwing out foul insinuations; the rat, representing the little sneaking, thieving people; the jackal and the hyena, typifying the cowardly class of people who sink their fangs into the memory of the dead and gone; the snapping cur, typifying the I little fellow who snarls and barks at his betters; the fox, standing for treachery and cunning; the rattlesnake, typifying ~ the person who is full of venom and al-w-an ViPjde .to strike at LntG* tit inni./^YIZu^WRBBBB^-the New- * foundland dog, representing the brave, f~ank, honest kind of people; the draft i horse, representing the people who uni complainingly bear the heavy burdens of life; the race horse, representing the strenuous, go-ahead, successful kind of people; the lion, representing courage and valour. The List of similarities set < almost unlimited. Nearly every animal has its counterpart in the qualities pos- ■ sessed by the many kinds of people of which the w’orld is made. Kidney complaint kills more people than any other disease. This is due to the disease being so insidious that it gets a good hold on the I system before it is recognized. Foley's । Kidney Cure will prevent the develop ment of this fatal disease if taken in time. B. E. Williams.

I THt: FOUR COUNTIbS. I I — ! I NEWS OF ST. JOSEPH. LAPORTE, I j STARKE AND MARSHALL COUN- i ♦ TIES BOILED DOWN. I ’ | Charles Laramore has been reappointed postmaster at Knox. Mrs. Susan B. Carrington, formerly of La Porte, died recently at Union Center, LaPorte county. Calvin Moon, superintendent of the South Bend schools, has been suffering from a severe attack of diphtheria. Hon. Adam E. Wise, of Plymouth, has been selected chairman of the Marshall county democratic central committee. The district meeting of the K. O. T. M. will be hold at Plymouth Thursday evening, March 3, A class of about 50 will be initiated. The citizens of Union Mills will buy a wolf hound and another drive will be made soon. The wolves have become quite bold again in that locality. John Scharf, of LaPorte county, was taken to the Logansport insane asylum Friday. Uis insanity is the result of drinking intoxicating liquors, A Hearst democratic club was organized at Plymouth lasi Monday evening C. A. W’end«i,N*f'ChiragrU’anu WUin Talbot, of South Bend, were among the speakers. The Runyan murder is still puzzling the South Bend police. Bowell, one op the suspects, is attempting to establish an alibi. James Costello, a notorious character of South Bend, is under suspicion and is being sought for by the police. Country Paper Hits Back. Marengo (III.) Republican. The Chicago papers have a good deal of fun at the expense of the country newspapers. What’s the matter of ’em? Are they jealous because we live out here where we can get fresh air and fresh eggs and enjoy life as it was meant to be? These poor, warped artistes (note the e in that word) fiddle around like a lot of school girls and hit upon some of the funniest things you ever heard. Why, every now and then somebody laughs at them. The writers laugh and think it’s a good joke when some of the country newspapers say: “Hiram Higbee iias sold his Holstein cow to Ez Mawfield,” but, of course, it is the thing when they say: “Algie Van Poochenstein has just returned from the continent with a 83,51 X) bull terrier from the Epsom Squirtem kennels." Ob, that's great. That bull pup ' would bring about 20 cents in the d g pound, and Hi Higbee's cow could sell ■ for at least 810 in the dark. • Because “Ozzie Benton was over to i Union Center Thursday to see hie beet girl” they throw a shoe. But if “Harold ; W orstinghauser Pook, the society leader, was in Milwaukee last Sunday to visit •" t’jtevfeerll _> ’-c d-oJL > their 30 cent "dickey” and have three pictures of Gertie and Herald on the front page. It’s all right for them to set the standard. Sure, Mike. But's time they got out of their rut ' and changed the subject. Notice of Administration.

William C. Whitney as a Friend. Harper’s Weekly. A week before he died, W illiam C. Whitney, speaking to a friend, said: “This is my happy time. I worked hard and succeeded. Now that is over, and my life has become only an adjunct of others." There was no regret in hie voice—only satisfaction that circumstances enabled him to give all of hie time and himself to those he loved. Much might be written of the things he did, but the pen falters. It suffices to say that he was the beet friend we ever had, ever expect to have, ever want to have. Saved from Terrible Death The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to eave her.
