Raising Money for ShiXeIX

If reports coming from indianapolis
are in any sense true b. +. Shively, OF
South Bend, who recently refused to be
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor, will enter the race
and contest for the honor. 1t was stated
openly one day last week that some of
his free silver friends are engaged In
raising fund of $1,000 for him so that
he may have money on which to make
the race for governor. Some of his
friends say that he will accept the big
fight against the Indianapolis machine
which it is now predicted will be fea-
ture of the coming state convention.

MUST PAY WEEKLY.

Judge Ryan's Decision on the Wage Law.
Judge Ryan, of the Madison county
superior court has handed down his de
cision in the mandate case to compel
the American plate glass company and
the Wright shovel works of Alexandria
to pay the employees weekly.
He held that the law was constitu-
tional and that the state had right to
iegislste in favor of the employees of
factories when employees so requested.
The decision is a great victory for the
state and laboring classes. IL is great
inconvenience to many families to be
compelled to wait for two or four weeks
for their pay. The decision givea
Madison county the honor of being
first in Indiana TO win q suit for the
weekly payment of wages. Attorneys
for the factories will appeal the cases
to the supreme court, although it was
previously understood that factories
were to abide by the decision.

THE RIGHT TO ROB.

The trusts possess some curious
ideas concerning "rights." An In
diana law requiring factories to pay
their employees weekly has just been
declared constitutional. The tin
plate, shovel and plate glass trusts
resisted this law on the ground that
the state had no right to legislate
against their ''rights." The ''rights"
they meant were the "rights" to
pay when they got ready, and such
wages as they deemed right.

The democratic party has never
acquired an inch of territory that il
did not sign and seal a covenant
with its inhabitants that they should
have all the rights of American citi-
zenship and that their territory
should be finally admitted as states
of the union. The republican party
was the only party in this country
that has ever proposed to hold vas
sal provinces, and the democratic
party wanted no share of the honor.
If a people were not fit for free in
situations, our free institutions were
not fit for the government of such
people. We could not afford to be-
come tyrants on the ground that an
other people were not fit to be
free.-IIon. r. X. Carmack, Ten

st. Joseph county democrats adopted
resolutions at their county convention
Saturday in which they condemned in
strong language the action of the state
central committee in requiring tinan-
cial qualifications of candidate. They
positively refused to accept Hon. b. F.
Shively's reasons not to be candidate
for governor and unanimously pre-
sented their distinguished townsman to
the democrats of Indiana as their can
didste by virtue to their rights as dem
ocrats. The resolution is as follows:
WHEREAS. Our distinguished towns
man, the Hon. b. f. Shively, so ably led
the democratic hosts, as candidate
for governor of our great state, during
the last campaign: and whereas the
democracy of the state of Indiana have
insisted on his again being the candl-
date for the highest office in the state;
and whereas it is learned that Mr..
Shively gives out that he cannot be
candidate, for financial and business
reasons; now, therefore, be it resolved,
by the democrats of st. Joseph county,
Indiana, in convention assembled:
First: That ST. Joseph county, the
home of our illustrious Benjamin +.
Shively, condemns the policy that makes
it requirement that a candidate
should be rich in order to be available.
Second: That the democracy of st.
Joseph county feels that it voices the
sentiments of the democracy of the
state of Indiana and of the nation in
this that the democratic party denoun
ces the methods which requires finan
cial qualifications of a candidate for
the suffrages of the people.
hird:-That we democrats of the
county of st. Joseph refuse to accept
the Hon. b. F. Shively's reasons not to
DE our candidate for governor.
Fourth: That the democracy of st.
Joseph county, Indiana, while sppreci-
ating the position of delicacy into
which the leader of Indiana's democra-
cy is placed, in convention assent led
declare that st. Joseph county insists
that the democracy of this county and
state has the right to say who shall be
its candidate for governor, and we de-
clare that our fellow townsman has no
right 10 decline to be our candidate for
governor. We therefore unanimously
present our distinguished townsmsn to
the democrats of the state of Indiana,
as our candidate for governor by virtue
of our rights as democrats, for we be-
lieve that in him We have the victor,
and that democracy's causes will have
no ADLER nor more eloquent champion.

Big Fire at Argos.

The big elevator at Argos, belonging
to Emery A. Gray, burned down at l
o'clock Friday morning. The building
contained large quantity of grain,
and everything was total loss. The
loss is estimated at $1,000, on which
there is $500 insurance. No one
knows how the flames started, but they
are supposed to have caught from a
passing engine on the Nickel Plate.

Bynum, who deserted his party
for a big salary and rosy promises IN
1906, has been turned down by the
u. 5. senate. Mckinley, to reward
him for deserving the Democratic
party, named him as the democratic
member of the board of appraisers
of merchandise at the port of New
York. The senate refused to con-
firm the appointment. Democratic
senators set up the claim that By
mum was no democrat, and there
were enough republican senators
who thought likewise to defeat MIR.
Bynum and to block Mr.. Mckin-
ley's attempt to palm off political
traitor as straight party man.

BECKHAM Is GOVERNOR.

The supreme court has decided
that it has no jurisdiction over the
Kentucky affair and its decision es-
tabllshes Governor Beckham's right
to the office to which the democrats
of his state elected him. Taylor
has at last submitted to the authority
of the courts; he steps down and
out and little will be known of him
hereafter, except as defendant in
the case against the murderers of
Governor Goebel. The best ele-
ment of the republican party will
not be willing to keep man to the
front who has openly defied all au-
thority and who has shown himself
INSCRIPTIONS in efforts to rule or
ruin. The final outcome of the
Kentucky case shows conclusively

NO TRUTH IN STORY.

The Campaign Fund Donation Story a
Hoax.
Hon. b. +. Shively on being aoprised
of the statement, today, that his friends
here were raising $1,000 for his cam
paign expenses, and that he would be a
candidate for governor, expressed great
surprise over such a baseless fabrica-
ton and could not account for such a
report going forth.

May Have Been IA Little HaAty i'm Filing
Their "Reminiscences.
The supreme court will decide
whether OF not a remonstrance against
granting a saloon license filed before
application is made for a license is valid
or not. When the citizens of Nappanee
learned that George w. McGlaughlin
intended to start saloon in that place
they began circulating a remonstrance
against him. Out of $50 voters of the
township, 2S4 signed it. Six days after
the remonstrance had been filed Nc
Lsughlin made the first legal publica-
ton of his intention to start saloon.
Thirty-One days later when he made
formal application the remonstrance
was sustained. McGlaughlin there
upon went into court pleading that the
remonstrance was invalid on the above
grounds. The court refused 30 sustain
his plea and he took an appeal.

A girl should be brought up so as to
be able to make her own living, whether
or not she is going to inherit fortune.
But woman's place is in the home,
though some women do better business
than men. A girl ought to be careful
about the man she marries, too, es-
pecislly if she has money. She ought
not to marry until she's old enough to
know what she's doing, anyway.-Hetty

Obituary.
Committee.

Mrs. Jesse koffel died at her home in
west Plymouth, at ten minutes before
o'clock Friday morning. She had been
sick for many months and for several
days before her death had been known
to be very much worse but her condi-
tion was not considered very danger
Gus. For that reason her death came
somewhat unexpectedly, her husband
who had been working in lnwOOd, not
being at her bedside.
Mrs. Koffels maiden name was Mary
A. Gable, and she was married to Mr..
Koffel in 1862 She was born in Stark
county, Ohio, in 1915, and died at the
age of 80 years.
Plymouth has been the home of her
and her husband for the past seven
years, but prior to their moving here
they had spent about nineteen or TWEEN
ty years in Bourbon and several years
in other places.
Her husband and four children sur

sisters. The children are Mrs. Ida
Miller and John KOffel, of lndianapo-
lis; Marion, of Frankfort, and Miss Lola
who has been living at home. The
brothers and sisters are Mrs. Ike
Thomas, of TT. Wayne; Samuel, Galena,
Mich; Eli Gable, of South Bend; Mrs.
George Miller, of Panama, Bourbon
township; Mrs. Sarah Freed, living near
Ply mouth, and Mrs. Polly Bollinger, of
Wildwood.
When small child she was baptized
in the German Lutheran church and
throughout her life had been a devoted
and loving wife and mother. The
many pains and. illness she had to en-
dure she bore with remarkable forti-
tude and patience.
| The funeral was held from the
house Sunday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock,
Rev. Hartman officiating. Interment
was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
How loved her. yes we loved her.
Oh. no earthly tongue can tell
But the angels they have called her.
Up to Heaven. there to dwell.
You may think we do not miss her.
But then can but weep,
When we think about our mother
In that long and deathless sleep.
