So does everybody else. Indications point to a close contest in the state and national elections. The candidate elected president will win by the skin of his teeth. Senator Bailey of Texas contemplates moving to New York City to locate in the practice of law, where he will have a shorter pipe line connection with Standard Oil headquarters. The latest election forecast from Walter Wellman, the newspaper correspondent, is to the effect that a non-partisan census of opinion of business men in New York shows that the state is leaning toward Taft for president and Chanler for governor. Straw ballots and postal card votes are the order of the day in big newspapers. As indexes to the result of the election they are about as reliable as the prediction of that Evansville crank about the world coming to an end on the 25th of October.—lndianapolis Independent. We want either whole hog or none. If we are to be ruled by trusts they should be in the hands of the people instead of a few capitalists. In other words, trusts should be socialistic. But rather than so much paternalism, a true, well-regu-lated competitive system would perhaps be preferable to the majority of people. Notice To Tax Payers. The County Treasurer’s Office will be open the following Friday evenings, for the accommodation of those who are unable to get to the office during the day, Friday, October 16, October 23, and October 30, 1908. You will note that November 2, is the last day to pay second installment taxes and all other taxes and assessments without penalty. W. C. Stover, County Treasurer.

^^fe^** - **^*^**—— | FOUR COUNTIES^ o News of St. Joseph, LaPorte, Starke and o Marshall Counties Boiled Down. 2 South Bend enjoyed the rare privilege of a light rain shower Monday. Many hogs are dying from cholera in Coolspring township, LaPorte county. The LaPorte County News, published at Union Mills, has suspended publica tion. A new daily paper ie contemplated at Mishawaka. Two newspaper men from Michigan are the projectors. The Wickizer-McClure printing plant at Argos is in financial trouble and will probably be placed in the hands of a receiver. Lewie C.

A farmer living near Bremen realized about SIOO from bis cabbage crop this year. He says that last year sls would have bought the same amount. A fight for the use of the St. Joseph river hae brought about an open clash between the richest families of S^uth Bend and Mishawaka, the Eberharts, who are reported to be worth from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, having sued the Olivers of South Bend, of which family Joseph D. Oliver is said to have inherited practically all of the $63,000,000 left by his father, the late James Oliver.

e The building of a dam by the Olivers o across the river at South Bend is the bone of contention.
