The first of the May Festival series
of entertainments occurred at the NJ. +.
church Tu. day night, three hundred
people being present. The musical fea-
ture OF the entertainment was as pub
lished in the program.
Prof. Redd introduced the Rev. G. B.
Wilcox, ID. ID. of Lafayette whs spoke
for an hour and ten minutes on "What
constitutes man." The speaker was
enthusiastic, and carried his audience
with him from the beginning. He drew
close distinction between man and the
other species of the animal kingdom
Man excels the animals in that he has
mind power, reason, memory, imagina-
tion, etc.
The speaker made clear that prepsr-
alton was the key to success, and his
words tended to inspire lofty ambitions
The lecture was full of good thoughts
and it is TO be regretted that every seat
was not occupied. The lecture this
evening promises to be equally good.

Awful IL True.

If what is reported on the streets to-
day is true, an individual who resides
in the east part of Marshall county
ought to be taken out and tsrrsd and
feathered, and given just about ten
hours to leave the state. The man who
has reached the age of 60 years and SO
dePraved to all sense of morals OF de
cency. The man that will use his own
flesh and blood for a purpose which
makes the very blood chill ought to be
tlayed alive. Some men are borne with
out feeling, and while they have the
make up and appearance of men, they
are llbertines in disguise.
We would like very much TO give the
full particulars in this case but We
await further developements. 1t
is reported that an iphuman
father has committed terrible crime.
and we hope, and verify believe that he
will be called to an account.

Electric Line to Maxfnkuckee

The proposed electric railway from
some point in Michigan to Danville,
ILL.,, is now an assured success, as the
arrangemer IS have been made for the
right of way through this county. The
road will be built on the survey as
made sometime ago and will touch
Bourbon, Argos, Lake Makinkuckee
and Winamac and on to Danvile. 1t
will afford excellent Accommodations for
the lake when completed This lake
is known as one of the most beautiful
and famous summer resorts in all
northern Indiana. 1t is the place of
meeting of the Editioral Assertion of
northern Indiana, and an effort will be
made to have the road completed by
that time, though it is barely possible.

In Memory of Dead Heroes,

There will be no lack of enthusiasm
this year in observing Memorial Day,
May 30. There Will be more interest
taken at this time than for years, and
it is right there should be. The rec
ent recruiting Of youthful soldiers to
go to the front and possibly face the
cruel brunt of war has vivified the
memory &. every citizen who lived
through the days of '62 to Go, and the
sad havoc wrought by the destruction
of the Maine has taught the younger
generation the deep significance of this
day, when the nation hats In its mad
rush and turns aside to place crown
of flowers upon the brow of its dead
heroes. The sacred day falls on Mon
day this year.

Cruel News over the Wire.

The report was circulated on Sunday
evening, not only in this place, but at
many other points, Indianapolis inclu-

the enemy and been defeated. About
IL o'clock the story was circulated on
the streets here that the Cincinnati and
Indiana had been sunk. Stories like
these wholly made up and sent broad
cast all over the land are cruel, and
there ought to be some means fixed to
put stop to such Fictitious fakes.
The morning papers contained not a
line about fight in which Simpsons
fleet was engaged, bat predict battle
for Tuesday or Wednesday.

An Editor Has Opinions.

An editor in writing an article some
time expresses his own opinions. Often
he expresses the opinion of some one
else. If an editor makes statement
through the columns of his paper that
is wrong, he Will be called TO account
before the ink is dry on the publication.
This is all right. But still the writer
was honest in his opinion.
In writing a ter liner Wednesday in re-
gard to the bicycle business in this
country We stated that two years ago it
was something wonderful We
meant in that statement, that the num-
ber of factories throughout the country
at that time was wonderful 10 cOntem
plate We did not mean that the num-
Der of wheels manufactured had fallen
off, but hundreds of the small factories
had gone out of the business. There
are as many wheels made today as there
were two years ago, but they are now
built by those companies that have
the means to carry on the work. This
is better, as better wheels are built
for less money and the firms making
them are entirely responsible. There is
no business in the country today that
gives employment to so many men as
that of the bicycle business.

Will Stand by the Agreement.

AS the prime movers in the move
ment that led to the agreement on the
part of the merchants to close every
evening, except Monday and Saturday
evenings of each week and the 18th of
each month, We feel it necessary TO
answer the article of Williamson &
Ryan, in Thusrday's Democrat, wherein
they argue against the petition duly
signed by themselves, and attempt, so
1t seems to US, to make business capital
at the expense of the other merchants.
without having given them an oppOr
tunlty to resclnd the action taken by
them mutually, if it is true that such
closing is an error.
We think however as clerks who are
compelled to work from 10 to ~ hours
per day under the new rules even that
such closing is not only proper, but is
long delayed act of justice to mum
Der OF laboring people we have certain
rights that ought to be respected.
In the lines of goods represented by
Williamson Il Ryan it is not unTeason-
able that the farming community and
the others who labor in the day time
should be able to fully supply them
selves on Saturdays and the evenings
on which. under the rev rules, stores
are to be kept open. 1t is rare that
farmers come to town to buy anything
except groceries, and perhaps
articles of hardware In the evenings,
and we venture that IN the winter time
not one farmer in a thousand would
ever be inconvenienced by the order.
The attempt on the part of this firm
to patronlzingly appeal to the farmers
as though other merchants do not feel
that the rights of all their customers
ought to be respected is in our opinion
unjustifed and done solely to make a
point at the expense of others.
In cities like South Bend where they
have labor organizations business men
in the lines represented by this firm are
compelled to close every evening with
exceptions at 6 o'clock.
The firm of Williamson 81 Ryan if
they believed such great mistake had
been made would have more favorably
impressed the laborlng classes if they
had abided by their signed agreement;
or if they had to say the least called a
meeting of all who mutually agreed
with them so that change could have
been made if deemed advisable.
If this firm signed this agreement
with the purpose i'll view of afterward
making capital at the expense of our
employers and the other merchants of
our city then it seems to us that the
clerks of our city are to be driven to Ia
or 10 hours work per day at instigation
of nefariOus scheme.
The agreement signed by the mer-
chants, with the above exception will be
adhered to.

cents.
