freedom no Judge, no member of
Congress, no President who would
dare to destroy the forces of this
fair doctrine.
Mckinley, Foraker and all the
rest of the imperialists arc agreed
rs to ono thing. And that is that
the people of our new acquisitions
have no rights under the Constitu-
ton of the United States; that the
only rights they have are those
which Congress in it's sovereign
pleasure may be pleased to grant.
Chicago Chronicle.
The United States Senate is
Republican. It does not need the
vote of Quay for any party meas
ure. If it deliberately violates
law and defies the popular will by
seating Quay the people will hold
the Republican party responsible
for violation of national decency.

President Mckinley ought to
give moro attention to the Porto
Rican papers. They are telling
the truth in a frank, manly way
and are making Americans who are
not sin politics" and not depend
ent upon campaign contributions"

of which the Porto Ricans are the
victims Baltimore Sun.
In1896 the Republican campaign
fund was $18,OOO,OOO. This year
the Republican leaders and the
trusts have SO much at stake that
there will be an effort to raise $780,
100000 to re-elect Mr.. Mckinley.
OF course the trusts, including the
money trust, are expected to foot

In one of his Southern speeches
Mr.. Bryan defended the income
tax and declared it to be most just
of all taxes. He advocates an
amendment to the constitution au-
thorizing an income tax. On this
question all true Democrats stand
with Mr.. Bryan. The only thing
that will ever exact from wealth a
due share of the burden of taxa
ton is an income tax of plain and
unmistabable in construction and

wounds, while the constable hurried for
surgical attention to his own hurts.
The encounter took place at the farm
home of Livengood and his aged
mother, one and One-half miles west of
Elkhart. The road on which the farm

widened from thirty to forty feet, but

Munson put off serving il, as they con
sidered the case trivial matter. On
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Myers asked
Supt. Braden TO have the warrant
served. Constable Dwight consented
to 60 and was conveyed to the place by
Mr.. Myers.
When the warrant was read to Liven-
good he was thrown into frenzy and
seized an AK with which he was about
to attack Dwight when Myers ran up
behind him and wrenched it from him.
He then grssped a hoe and went at
Dwight like demon. He struck the
officer on the arm and head and finally
forced the constable to take heroic
measures to save his life. 1t was then
that the revolver was used. In the
meantime Mr.. Myers had been attacked
by Mrs. LiveDgood, who attempted to
scald him with hot water. Finally
Dwight over-powered Livengood and
David Hoffman assisted in binding his
hands and legs. He was lifted into a
vehicle and taken to Elkhart.

GREAT BOOM AT ELKHART.
An Electric Company With a Gigantic
Proposition.

An Electric Company With a Gigantic
Proposition.
a new era IN the electrical and in
dustrisl life of Elkhart, and other
northern Indiana and southern Michi-
gan towns, will be insugurated July 2.
when the ownership of the Home Elec-
trio Light and Power company of that
city, will pass into the hands of great
and wealthy corporation, preparing to
invest millions In several dams to be
thrown across the st. Joe river at differ
ent points, and to conduct electric light
and power plants in an entirely new
way. A great corporation has been
formed, with abundance of capital to
purchase and operate electric light
plants at Elkhart, Goshen, South Bend,
Mlshswaka, Niles, Benton Harbor, St.
Joseph and other cities in that vicinity.
The eastern gentlemen most largely
interested are p. f. Thompson, &. Ii.
Tenney and II. l.. Crawford, of the
banking firm of Thompson, Tenny &
Crawford, New York; I'll. Hobart Por-
ter, Jr., and Francis Blossom, of New
\ ork, and M. f. Beiger and John Sand
ers, of Mish8waks. 1t is proposed to
spend S95O,O00 in construction of dams
between Elkhsrt and South Bend. The
power thus acquired will be utilized in
running great electric plants, the latter
to furnish power for factories in Elk
hart, Mishswaka and South Bend at a
cost below that of steam. 1t is in
tended to compete with the gas belt in
cheap power. A dam at Berrien
Springs, Mich, is now being constructed.
A great power house will be erected at
South Bend and Berrien Springs. South
Bend and Elkhsrt will be joined in one
large electrical unit The other towns
will be added from time to time.
Without delay it is intended to deliver
at Elkhsrt sufficient power to run all
the manufacturing establishments, as
we'll as supply all the residences of the
city, with not only light, but with cleo
tricity for heating and cooking. 1t is con-
tended by the promoters that electric
heat is uniform and that there is sbso-
lutely no fumes from the cooking 1t is
also intended to deliver this electrical
power to the factories.
Another peculiar feature, and one
which means much to Elkhsrt people,
is that the new company stands ready
to cooperate with the citizens in the
cities where power is furnished and
take stock and offer inducements TO
manufacturers who are arranging to
come west, and it is the purpose of
these capitalists to get these industries
located in this section by financial in
ducements and the offer of cheap
power. Niles and Berrien Springs will
probably be connected with Elkhsrt
and Goshen, Mishawska and South
Bend by branch of the Indiana Rail
way company, which now runs between
Goshen and South Bend. This line Is
one Of the most profitable electric rail
ways in the country.

Nellie Berger's Alleged AssaiIant Before
Judge and Jury.
With courtroom crowded with men
and women the trial of Frank Rannsls,
alias Roy Jones, the sbductor of Miss
Nellie Berger, was begun Monday

Berger from her home north of this city

but instead. it is claimed, he took the
girl off and kept her for weeks, threat
ening her with death repeatedly. They
were finally found In Southern Indiana.
For long time it was feared Jones
would be lynched, ana an armed guard
was constantly maintained. The ex-
citement died out and no special guard
is now kept, even during the trial.
Jones is charged with kidnapping
and criminal assault, and the latter case
has been called first.
Miss Berger has been an invalid
since her experience, and will have to be
brought into court on a reclining chair
when IL comes time for her testimony.

terest the holders of railroad mileage
books: The question as TO whether a
railroad company has the right to take
up mileage ticket limited TO q psrtl-

person than the one TO whom the ticket
wss issued, was decided in the aflrma-
tive by the supreme court of New

trsl railroad (46 Att. Rep. 54.) The
plaintiff was accustomed to rent rail-
road mileage books at an advance on
their purchase price. The conductor
took one of these books from q psssen-

plaintiff, whereupOn the plaintiff sued
to recover the amount originally paid

violated these conditions the law
affords the plaintiff no relief.
