ANGRY AT BLISS
Bourbon People Hang Michigan's Govern
or in Effigy.

Gov. Bliss, of Michigan was hanged
in effigy at Bourbon by an angry crowd
of depositorS who lost money in the
defunct Farmers bank, of that place,
through its defaulting president, A..
C. Probert, of Niles, Mich.
Probert's bank suspended payment
April =, when he Immediately left for
Michigan. The governor of Indiana
issued requisition papers on Gov. Bliss,
the case being first argued in Detroit,
July %, when continuance was grant
ed until Tuesday at Lansing, when he
again postponed the hearing till Sept.
5. When this report reached Bourbon
majority of the depositors held an
Indignation meeting at the city hall,
with the results that they hanged
Gov. Bliss in effigy from the balcony
in front of the building where Probert
formerly conducted his bank.
The foregoing, taken from Chicago
papers, is fake pure and simple, the
fgment of the famous Bourbon tele,

No Room for Such Cattle.

We believe the members OF the leg
islature from Laporte county were
among those who voted for the fool
law to fix the wages paid to school
teachers and people who labor on
public works. Undoubtedly the law
is not constitutional and in any event
it is an assumption of power and pat
ernalism wholly unwarranted in good
morals or common sense. Probably
the next time the flabby statesmenwill
attempt to fix the wages Ofhired girls,
hostlers, professional men and the
price of onions and turnips, but there
is not going to be a ''next time" for
these fledglings in legislation.-Mich-

GREATEST WOMAN. IN HISTORY
Brave Words of Missouri SchooI.mis
tress Applicable i, Indiana.

The 200 teachers attending the in
stitute at Atlanta, Macon County,
Missouri, were asked by Superintend-
ent F. L. Thompson the question:
'.Who is the greatest woman in all
history?" Queen Victoria led IN the
answers given, with Frances Willard
and Helen Gould next.
The answer of Miss Mamie Wick
roy, teacher in the New Cambria
school, which was awarded the prize
for its originality, was:
"The wife of the Missouri farmer of
moderate means, who does her own
cooking, washing and ironing, brings
up large family OF girls and boys to
be useful members of society, and
finds time for her own intellectual
and moral improvement is the great
est woman in all history"

Another Fake Concern.

Attorney-GeneralO ren of Michigan

the League of Eligibles, otherwise

asking that its officers appear within
twenty days to answer charges against
them. He charges that the league
obtains its contracts by fraud and
Misrepresentation, that they are in
the nature of lottery schemes and are
in violation of the laws of the state.
Oren's action has caused sensation,

ands of citizens are holding policies in

SUSPENDS STATE TREASURER
Governor Lonsino of Mississippi Calls
for an Accounting.


JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 90
Governor Longino signed a
document yesterday suspending
State Treasurer j. R. Showers
and appointing G. w. Carlisle
temporary treasurer. Showers,
in his statement given out last
Friday, said that the $107, 600
missing and unaccounted for
when the governor counted
his cash on Aug. Is was deposit
ed in banks by his cashier, Raj
ford, under his (the treasurer's)
direction, which is forbidden by
law.
All the banks of Jackson hav-
ing denied that they had any of
this money on deposite, the gov
ernor last might wrote Showers
for full and complete statement
in writing as to where the de-
posts were made, and all things
connected with the transaction.
The governor required an an
swer by 9 o'clock yesterday
morning. AT 11:15 o'clock today
the governor received reply
from the treasurer, the contents
of which have not been made
public.

SYRACUSE CEMENT
What Our Neishbors Are Dong With
Their Mari Deposits.

The following from the Warsaw
Times is interesting in view of the
great mari deposits existing in this
county.
A little more than year has elapS-
ed since the Sandusky Portland Gem
ent Company located their plant at
Syracuse, Ind. During that time the
town has enjoyed period of unparal-
leled prosperity and wondrous growth,
until Syracuse is now changed from
the dormant hamlet that it was then,
into the most thriving little city in
Northern Indiana. Enjoying this
prosperity as they have the people are
yet bewildered at the contrast be-
tween what now is, and what is yet to
be. Superintendent Reilly of the
cement works has just been granted
$500, 900 with which to enlarge the
plant, and will begin work on the new
building by the first of next month.
Mr.. Reilly hopes to bring the capacity
of the plant from 600 to l 200 bar
rels day, which will necesSitate the
employment of almost twice the num-
Der of men now employed by the COM
pany. Nor is the town to be outdone
i'm the way of municipal improve
mentS. Contractor Olds is now plac-
ing the pumps in position, and in a
few days water will be turned into the
pipes of the new system of water
works. The board of trustees has, by
resolution, expressed its desire to con-
struct complete and very unique sys-
tenn of sewage, which, meeting the
approval of the citizens of the town
as it does, will be pushed with all pos
sible vigor. A franchise having been
granted, a surveying party is now at
work surveying an electric line from
Goshen to Pickwick Park via Syracuse,
which, when built, will give towns of
northern Indiana immediate connect
ion with our beautiful Lake WawaSee,
where thousands of people are now
spending the season in their summer
homes.

Geo. Knoll started his big eight

Profits in Onions.

The onion crop on the marsh is now
being harvested. 1t is not so large as
in former years, but is of fair quality.
The crop will run from 800 to 500 BUSH
els to the acre. Prices range from 40
to 60 cents bushel, which more than
compensates for the decreased yield.
A small army of boys and girls and
men are finding employment on the
marsh. The fields which were visited
by the hail storm six weeks ago are
about as good as any others and it now
deyelopes that the loss to the growers
from this cause was very slight

STUMP ROBBERY
One of the Worst Criminal Acts Ever
Committed in Marshall County.

Later reports confirm the meager
information given of the outrage
perpetrated on Jacob Stump at his
home insPolk township, last Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Stump lives on his
farm not quite two miles due east
from Teegarden, his family consisting
of his wife and adopted son, James.
He is a respected citizen of many
years residence in that vicinity and is
in comfortable circumstances but by
no means wealthy.
1t was between one and two O'Clock
in the night when the little family
was aroused by the forcing OF a win
dow. caused by the use of heavy
piece of timber in hands of the ma
RAIDERS. Mr.. and Mrs. Stump at once
arose and partially dressed, and by
that time there were half a dozen men
in the house, all disguised by hand
kerchiefs over their faces and SLOUGH
hats pulled over their eyes; six other
men remained outside as pickets.
The aged farmer shut the bedroom
door to keep the men out OF the room,
but the boy asked to be let in, so the
door was opened for his admission.
The robbers began al once to ransack
the house, then forced their way into
the bedroom and tied the three occu-
pants of the house. They demanded
to be told where the money was hid
den and getting no satisfaction they
looked under carpets, in cupboardS,
bureau drawers and elsewhere, search
ing the rooms upstairs also, but found
only three dollars, which, with Mr..
Stump's revolver, they took away
Each man had torch and revolver.
AS they passed out of the house they
helped themselves to a basket of peach
es, called Mr.. Stump by name and
babe him good night, taking the road
west toward Teegarden. They warn
ed the Stumps, under severe penalties.
to give no alarm until morning.
The boy was the first to free him.
self and he then helped to liberate his
foster parents. They remained quiet
ly in the house until O'Clock, when
they went out and told the neighbors
of their experience, but no traces of
the robbers could then be found.
1t seems that there had been re-
port in that vicinity that Mr.. Stump
had a large sum of money in the house
and this doubtless drew the raid upon
him. Mr.. Stump is Dunkard and is
very much averse to courts and litiga-
ton, besides fearing retaliatory meas
ures should he invoke the law, and he
therefore is disinclined to make any
effort toward detection and prosecu-
ton. The young boy, who is eleven
years old, claims to have recognized
several of the thieves and tells their
names, but the old couple claim to
have no knowledge OF them. The
boys account duplicates several resi-
dents of Teegarden and labOrers on
the b. & o. Ry. Two Teegarden men,
one laborer and the other farmer,
claim to have overheard several men
plotting the robbery before it Occorred.
The outrage is of such heinous
character that the officers cannot
overlook it and doubtless efforts will
be made to break up the gang of des-
peradoes that has long infested that
neighborhood, principally as poultry
thieves heretofore, and punish them
for this latest depreciation.
