\ young fellow from this neighbor-

new stiff hat without earmuffs. She
made SO much fun of his ears that he
got mad and started home and he
stopped at every house on the way to

through the gate without opening it
and wanted to put his horse in the
henhouse.

We ioin the Elkhart Review in

We join the Elkhart Review in it's
willingness to bet fish-hooks to har-
poems that President Roosevelt is not
lying awake nights to hatch up any
methods to create factional differences
in the republican party, nor does he
spend wakeful hours in trying to
avoid official acts which he deems
necessary lest he create friction in the
party. President Roosevelt's charac-
ter has so thoroughly established itself
in the minds of the American people
within the few months of his admin
istration that the people look to his
acts, and not to the partisan effects
of those acts. The president does
what he believes to be right. and
while his acts may sometimes serious
ly antagonize the wishes and methods
of some politicians, on the other hand
they have, so far atleast, strengthened
him with the people. 1t is law of
human society that the aggressive
man, with honest opinions and intents,
performing necessary acts with kind
ness and without resentment, creates
an impression among the people that
his very sturdiness is worthy of sup-
port, and in such d man they will for
give many more mistakes than they
will in man who seeks to conciliate
public opinion at the expense Of in
tegrity.

For the first time In the histor, of
this country the highest general in the
army has been openly rebuked by the
President acting as COMMANDMENTS
chef of the army and navy. When
General Miles commented upon the
Schley verdict as he did the other day
he knew full we'll that he was acting
in violation of one of the old-establish-
ed regulations of the army and he
knew that he was making himself
liable to discipline. The rule is ne
cessary one, although not in ten out
of hundred thousand cases of its vio-
lation does even mild reprimand fol-

Miles could not have other than bad

poses of his own, courted the punish

he said and to that extent ranges him.
self with Schley in the martyr class,
but it should be borne in mind that
Miles was not in position to speak
such truth without having first re-
signed his commission. If he has
been treated unjustly by the war de-
partment in recent years he has also
been indiscreet on more than one oc-
caSion.

Philip ]. earn.

Philip. earn was born April oath
1s43, in Sandusky County, Ohio, and
died at his home IN Culver City. Ind,
December 18th, 1901, aged SO years !
months and Is days.
In the spring of 1867 he removed
with his parents to Marshall county,
and in 1867 was married to Julian
Kemmerling and from her received
every care and attention which a
faithful and loving wife could adj
minister.
During the past two years Mr..
earn has been very i'll, i'm fact SO in
tense were his sufferings at times that
death would have been greatly well
coined. But during the last few days
of his life he was relieved of pain and
was able to intelligently converse
with those about him, yet the COM
plication OF diseases with which he SO
long suffered had made too extensive
inroads upon him and finally, without
a moments warning, the death angel
snatched him from those who had SO
faithfully watched over him.
Months ago he expressed his faith
in Christ and much of his time was
spent in prayer. On Sunday, Deem
Der 18th, his friends and brethren of
the /. o. o. F., laid him to rest in
the Poplar Grove cemetery to await
resurrection morn, funeral services
being conducted by Rev. Austin of
Argos.

ADM. SIMPSONS OBJECTIONS.
Reasons Why Adm. Dewey's Minority
Report Should Not Be Approved.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The objec-
tions of Adm. w. T. Sampson to that
portion of Adm. Dewey's report of the
Schley court of inquiry in which he
says Adm. Schley was In command
at the battle OFF Santiago and entitled
to the credit for the victory, was filed
with Secretary Long. The document
was brought to the navy department
by E. s. Theall, of counsel for Adm.
Sampson, and handed to the secre-
tary. The report says:
AS counsel for Rr. Adm. Sampson
we have the honor to request that the
department, for the reasons below
stated, strike out or specifically disap-
prove that portion of Adm. Deweys
opinion filed in connection with the
proceedings Of the Schley court of
inquiry. in which he states his view
to be that Commodore Schley was in
absolute command at the naval battle
OF Santiago.
First-Commodore Schley was not
In command at that battle.
Second-The president of the United
States and the navy department had
decided that Adm. Sampson was in
command at the battle and Commo-
dore Schley second In command.
Third-The question as to who COM
manded at Santiago was not referred
to the court for consideration, and evi.
dence bearing on the point was ex.
cluded.

MARcoNI SYSTEM.
Commercial Importance Of Wireless
Telegraphy Defined.

of New Foundland, gave large lunch
con Thursday in honor OF Mr.. Marconi
In responding to toast the inventor
made the following prediction:
"If my system of wireless telegraphy
can be commercially established be
tween different parts of the earth, the
possibility of which I do not in the
slightest doubt, 1t would bring about
an enormous cheapening of the meth

communication to a great extent. But
the great cost of the cables themselves
and their heavy working expenses,
causes the existing method to be be.

inhabiting the various countries OF
the world. But could this new method
be applied. believe the most Of what
we call cabling to England might be
reduced at least twenty fold. The pres.

Working Men Crushed Under the
Failing Walls of a Market
House in Mexico.
FIFTEEN DEAD BODIES RECOVERED
A Score or More Persons We're Seri.

Can Not Survive.
The Market Building Was One Of the
Finest Structures OF Its Kind in
the Republic, Costing
St50,OoO.

Antonio, Tex, Dec. 23.--By the
burning oil the city market house at
hacatecas, Mex. fully 80 lives have
been lost and over score OF persons
seriously injurek some of them so
badly that they can not recover.
Fifteen bodies have been taken from
the ruins and large force is at work
clearing away the debris in order to
recover others, though there is no
more that any of those caught in the
collapse of tho big structure will. be
found alive.
The fire was in the principal market
building owned by the city. The low
er part OF the building contained a
large number OF cellars and refrigcra
ting apartments which were stocked
with meats for city consumption.
The fire broke out in the cellars and
when discovered had made consid.
cradle hcadway. In order to save as
much of the meat stored in the cellars
as possible a large force of men were
ordered by the authorities into the
burning structure and while this force
was WORKING the names burned their
way to the top of the market, com.
pletely enveloping it. The fire de-
partment was unable to check the pro-
gress of the fire and after burning sew
eral hours the building collapsed, the
crumbling walls burying large num-
ber of the men in the cellars under
the ruins. Just how many were killed
is not known, but the loss of life is
said to be appalling. Late advices
from Zacatecas state that 1t Is believed
many are still under the wrecked
walls. The market building was one
of the finest structures of its kind in
the republic and was source of great
revenue to the city.
II was erected few years ago at a
cost of $15O000. How the fire origi-
mated Is not known.

cate Lcmly and Solicitor Hanna Fri
day afternoon submitted to Secretary
Long their report upon the bill of OBJ
iections ilcd by Adm. Schley, through
his counsel to the findings OF the
Schlcy court Of inquiry The report
is an argument supplementary to the
argument made by The writer's before
the court OF inquiry. The principal
points are an insistcnce upon their
contention that the first report is the
unanimous report of the court of in
quiry; that the court was justified in
rejecting Adm. Schley's evidence by
the number of witnesses who took is.
sue with him, and that there is no
sufficient reason for a rcopening OF the
case as requested by Adm. Schley.
Washington, Dec. 90. -. Secretary
Long has approved the majority re.
port of the Schley court of inquiry and
the case is now to be dropped by the
government. The court was dissolved.
In accordance with instructions from
President Roosevelt, Secretary Long
requested the resignation of Edgar
stanton Maclay as special laborer in
the New York navy yard. He is the
author of the history of the Santiago
campaign in which he branded Aum.
Schley as a coward, etc.
Secretary OF War Root reprimanded
Lieut.. Gen. Miles for his criticism
Of the Schley case In an interview in
Cincinnati last week. In the interview
Lieut.. Gen. Miles said: u think Dew
ey has summed up the matter in a
