The Rev. John Grogan, a member of

4 Complete Surprise.

5. +. Hendricks of West township
reached his 10th milestone in life Tues
day, Jan. "a, and in the evening a host
of friends and neighbors with we'll filled
baskets entered the home by means of
two doors into the room where he was
comfortably seated and to say he was
surprised would not half express 1t
He was hoisted to the cealing by few
strong hands.
After supper had been eaten by GO
people, VIM. q. Cook, from South Dako-
ia, arose and in a few well chosen re-
marks presented to Mr.. Hendricks a
handsome gift which had been donated
Dy his many friends, showing there re-
spect for him.
The evening was spent in singing
and social conversation and at late
hour the company departed wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks long and
happy life.

Brethren Publishing House.

A dispatch from Mt Morris. ILL.,, says:
The Brethren Publishing committee
who have been in session here have fin
ally concluded to remove the plant, to
Plymouth, Ind, being the probable 10
cation. When the establishment came
to this place from Lanark it was in a
languishing condition; but under the
efficient management of Elder Joseph
Amick it has attained its present finan
cial prosperity. 1t is not easy to un-
derstand what is to be gained all around
by the removal of the concern, as the
employees have their homes here, and
are content to remain. Should they
conclude to go along they may be COM
PEELED to sell property at sacrifice.
The institution is purely charitable, is
exem IT from taxation, and it is difficult
to see just how the citizens of Plymouth,
who, no doubt pay a large bonus, are
to reimburse themselves for the outlay
The Brethren by accepting the bonus
will place themselves under obligations
which they may not always feel like
complying with. Then again they run
the risk of being harassed by labor
unions. 1t will injure the postoffice
and express business here very materi-
ally. Just what effect it will have on
the school is yet to be determined.

Let the Railroads Alone.

1t is intimated that Indiana law max
ers will be called on to consider the
time-beaten and worm eaten measure
to compel railways to charge two cents
per mile for passenger fares. This ques.
tion is spasmodically dragged into legis.
latures in various states. AS rule it
bobs up whenever disgruntled individ.
uals wish to air q grievance, and for
years it has been used as a menace
against railway corporations.
The demand for a two cent fare is
usually retaliatory move, and should
be Objectionable on that account alone
Any action based on revenge has malice
in it, and any lawEenacted with mali
ciOus intent is not only blow at free
government, but contrary to the fun
damental principles of the constitu-
ton. wilt

Indiana Ship Canal Project.

A special to the Indianapolis Journal
states that new project, which is now
under discussion and which will possi-
bly, mature, is the building of a ship
canal through this section of Indiana
across to the Ohio river. Eastern eapi
talists are reported to be ready to back
the project of an Indiana and Michigan
ship canal on condition that the legisla
ture employ convict labor in the con-
struction of the waterway. The plan
of the capitalists is to open the water
way which was surveyed a number OF
years ago through this section. 1t is
now given out that q new survey will
be made. The project meets the gen
er4l approval of the people of this com.
munity.

Talking to Sick Persons

A physician in an article illustrating
the evil custom of talking to an invalid
about his pains. says that once he re-
quested mother to make stroke upon
a paper each time that she asked her
sick daughter how she was. The next
day, to her astonishment, she made 109
strokes. A three months visit away
from home was prescribed. This should
be remembered especially now, when so
many are suffering from the grip and
it will also be more safe, as one is liable
to get his head taken off if he does ask
