The serious aspect of fairs N the
mining districts is becoming more snd
more apparent. If an interstate arbi-
tration board, to be composed OF the
labor commissioners of the various
states, proves ineffective, then con-
gress will be forced to provide for ma
tional arbitration. The present eondi.
tons are menacing the peace and in
terests of the public, and the only cen
sible remedy is speedy arbitration.

No ONE who looks over the records
OF events in the almanac or year book
fails to express surprise in finding there
recorded the death of prominent pso-
pie whose existence has been forgotten
in a few months. The death of the
most important persons makes no more
permanent impression upon The world
than the falling Of a stone up,n the
placid surface Of a pond. There is
momentary commolion and then a
speedy return to the former conditions

himself disappears at once, and in an
incredibly short time is forgotten ever
by his friends They may respect his
memory when IT is recalled, and may
have lost none OF their appreciation Of
his virtues; but they are SO busy with
new sff airs, their time is SO occupied
by new friends that they seldom think
of him These are.lns one sense sad
reflections, to think that the ones we
loved best forget us SO soon, but it is
not altogether dlspiriting. They point
to the ph~ilosophic conclusion that
whatever we may desire to accomplish

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY a, 1897
A LAW REUNION.

Col. Ruel NJ Johnson, eformer clerk
OF the court in this judicial district,
who has just formed a law partnership
with his old partner, back there, Is,
probably, himself, the author OF the
following send, If in the Elkhart (in.
diana) Daily Truth: IA
The again coming together of Judge
Albert s. Blake and Col. r. M.'Johnson In
forming a partnership for the practice OF
law in this county, after a separation from
zach other for the period of nearly a quar-
ter of a century, is a happening so without
precedent as tc deserve more than a passing
mention. These gentlemen were both union
officers in the late war and made for them
selves brilliant records which place them
In the fore front rank Of Indiana's splendid
soldiery. Immediately after the close OF
the war, they became associated in the
practice of law at Goshen, this county, and
for more than a decade the firm OF Blake
& Johnson was familiar to our people as
among the leading law firms OF the always
capable and brilliant Elkhart county bar,
which added credit to the legal fraternity
of northern Indiana and caused
them to be ranked among the
best of our commonwealth. Cir
clmstances then separated these gentlemen
and sent them westward to learn the ways
of the "wi!d and woody west" but this
separation in no manner narred their
friendship. but rather strengthened and
more firmly cemented 1t. Time dealt
leniently with them, while God crowned
their efforts and rewarded their industry
with bounteous generosity; and now,
after more than twenty years, Judge
Blake returns from Colorado wbere he has
achieved msuy brilliant legal successes
and Colonel johnson arrives from New
civilian of which any man may be proud,
and these two men renew their fealty to
each other, re-establish the law firm OF
Bake & johnson OF Elkhart and offer
their united services and ability to our
citizenship in the line Of their profession.
union of two strong legal forces, OF two
COM etent and worthy citizens, after a
long period of separation, and this COM
muuity, yes, Indiana, is fortunate in their
possession. Elkbart has many excellent
ofwhich she is andhas a right to be
proud. and yet she may we'll afford to well
the return of these gentlemen to
swell Der business Interests by a generous
spirit of encouragem ent and patronage
and our citizens will do so,

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overdows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigOr. As
it costs nothing TO try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor, without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result Of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to FL. G. Olds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use Of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
| Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

crime for their love Of God and if good
morals prompt it, and / feel that they
will when it is realized what a great
curse it is already to the colored race.
As race we must expect our hardships
until our children are better disciplined
and taught 1t is not necessary for me
to say that lynching will only stop when
no raping is done.
AS colored man who loves his
people, l cannot shut my eyes to the
fact that my race is to suffer most from
this conflict. The poet has said that
Fools rush i'll where angels dare to
tread" / agree with him, but in this
case | must add that he has no right to
damn me and my race"
James Y. Eaton, a leading cOlored
man here and a lawyer, says:
Rape and lynching are two crimes
against which civilization should wage
continual war. Rape violates that which
mankind must ever hold sacred. 1t is
more thoroughly sifted of every
scintilla of justification than any crime
known to the law. For these and other
reasons, the perpetrators of this crime,
above all others, placed most at odds
with human sympathy. The crime of
lynching overrides law and order, upon
proper respect of which the happiness
and higher development of the human
race depends. How then shall we stop
these crimes? Lynching, of course
should be condemned; and the pulpit,
press, school room and all other reli-
gions, moral and educational agencies,
should be brought to bear to create a
strong sentiment against the crime of
rape, and when it is committed, the law
should be promptly executed"
