Accident to Doctor Dietrich.

A telegram was received by c. r..
Dietrich last Saturday which was fol-
lowed few days later by letter, an
nouncing very serious accident that
DIR. w. A. Dietrich, a former resident of
Bremen, met with on Friday, May "a,
at Sapphire. \. g., resulting in the loss
of his right leg between the ankle and
knee. The doctor had mounted horse
TO visit patient 10 the country, when
his horse became fractions, throwing
the doctor to the ground in such way
as to break his right limb near the
ankle, producing compound fracture
causing the bones to protrude through
his pant leg. The doctor was carried
to his home and physician summoned,
but owing to the distance being thirty
miles to the nearest doctor, it was seven
hours before he arrived. His limb was
temporarily set until doctor could
arrive from Chattanooga, Tenn. Later
it was found necessary to amputate
the limb just above the ankle, which
was successfully performed. The doc
tors many friends in Bremen are sorry
to hear of his sad misfortune. Oliver
Dietrich, of this city, left for Sapphire
last week to assist in caring for his
uncle.-Bremen Enquirer.

Calmly Await the End.

The Albion Democrat says that at

should ever decide to do so, we wouldn't
lean up against double barrel shot

many do. Neither would we eat q full
dinner of rough on rates, blow out the
gas, drink concentrated lye, sit down in
the lap of buzz saw, smoke cigarettes

The law which allows the sender
of telegram to recover a penalty
of SIoo from the telegraph COM
pany in case it negllgently fails to
deliver the telegram is constitutional.
The question arose in an appeal by
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany from judgment recovered
against it by Frederick Fere
on account of its failure to deliver
to his brother a telegram announc-
ing their grandmother death. The
court said that a civil penalty i'm
posed for failure TO perform duty
is not a fine or forfeiture such as
must be paid into the common
school fund. and such as tine gov
ernor has power TO remit. 1t also
held that individuals and partner
ships who operate telegraph Lines
are liable to the penalty for failure
to deliver messages the same as cor
porations engaged in that business.

Fulfilled Prophecy About Lincoln.
In the presidential campaign of 1856
the democrats in the west made On eff
fective point by contrasting Mr.. Blu
chsnan's long public career as senator,
secretary of state and minister to Eng
land with General Fremonts limited
experience, consisting of service of
twenty-one days in the United States
Senate.
In the great compsign of 1860 they
tried the fame tactics, which had
proved 81 successful, to disparsge Mr..
Lincoln. He had served but single
term in congress, while Senator Doug.
las had for many years enjoyed ma
tionsl reputation.
This point was urged in q heated
discussion, overheard. between an ard
ent supporter of Senator Douglas and
German voter who favored Mr.. Lin
coin. The former FINELY thought to
overwhelm his opponent by saying:
"Who is this Lincoln, anyhow No
body ever heard of him until Senator
Douglas bought him into notice by
holding joint debates with him. Sem
ator Douglas, on the other hand, is a
great statesman. Why, he has had his
eye on the presidential chair for the
last ten years"
"VOt lie dot you say?" was the reply.
"You say Meester Dooglas have had
his eye on the president chair for the
last ten years?
"Yes, that il just what said"
"Vell, you shoost tell Meester Doog-
las eef he keep bees eye on dot chair
snoost leedle vile longer, he will see
Old Abe Lincoln sitting down in it,"
That closed the debate, amid q roar
of laughter from the bystsnders.-

School Funds.

Blanks are being prepared by the
auditors in order to ascertain, in COM
pliance with new law, just how much
money there is in the common school
and congressional school funds in va
rious counties and how much is out at
interest. The law requires the money
to be loaned at six per cent. if posi-
BILE, and if not the county must pay
that interest out of its treasury. In La
porte county the unlosned school funds
amount to $4,000. In some counties
there Is an active demand for these
funds and the state auditor will make
transfers from counties where there Is
no demand to counties that have de-
mand, the law making such transfers
proper.

Holds New Laws Effective.

A sum of over Sl2,OOO,OOO is affected
by q decision reached recently
by State Superintendent of Pub.
lie Instruction Jones, who has been in
conference on the subject with AttOrn-
eyGeneral Taylor.
The last legislature enacted q law
providing that the interest on school
fund loans shall be paid at the end of
each year instead of at the beginning
as heretofore. Since the law became
effective inquiries have been pouring
into the office asking whether loans
made prior to the passage of the new
law be taken up and reissued.
The superintendent and the sttor-
ney-general responded that, in order to
avail themselves of the new statute
and the convenience of paying at the
end, instead of the beginning of the
year, borrowers would be compelled to
renew their loans SO that the new law
could be held effective.

Proposed to Head the Democratic Pre-,

Proposed to Head the Democratic Presi-
Dental Ticket in 1904.
The dissenting opinion of Chief JUS
tice Fuller In the Downes case has
caused quite little consideration of
the high merits of the man. He is
now in his Goth year, and his opinion
shows him as clear and vigorous as
any man that ever occupied the bench.
Justice Fuller held the highest rank as
attorney before he ives appointed to
the supreme bench by President Cleve
land in 1888. Most of his practice was
in the city of Chicago, whittier be re-
moved from his native state of Maine
in 1856. Among the notable cases in
which he appeared were the national
bank tax cases, the Cheney ecclesissti-
cal case, the South park commission
ers' cases and the lake front case. His
reputation was national, and the de-
gree of Ii. d., conferred on hin by
Northwestern university and by Bow
doin college, was fully merited. His
work on the bench has been character
lied by ability and learning.
Throughout his life Chief Justice
Fuller has been democrat. He early
attained g reputation as a speaker, and
in 1860 was chosen to welcome Stephen
A. Douglas to Chicago. La 1862, be
was member of the Illinois constitu-
tionsl convention and was one of the
most influential memb ers of that body.
In 1922 he was member of the
lower house of the Illinois legislature,
and was the leader of one branch of
the Democratic party. He served his
party as delegate to the national con-
ventions of 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
In private and official life Justice Full
Ter is known as man of the highest
honor and unblemished integrity, hav-
ing the respect of al who know him.

Wars Great Cost.

The fact that the war in South At
RIGA has already cost Britain about
$500, 900 has given rise to much thought
and discussion on the subject of the
cost of war in general. The most ex-
pensive war of all times was the civil
war of the United States, which cost
the federal government $6.200,OO0,000
and the confederate states $2,0O0,000,-
600 more. In these figures are not in
Guided the vast amounts for the last
thirty six years spent in pensions.
| Next in cost to our civil war comes
the Franco-Prussisn war of 1901 Its
cost, in good round numbers, was
S2,500,000,O00. The Crimesn war cost
Sl,700,OO0,0O0. The South African war
has So far cost Britain less than one
tenth of the amount spent by America
in the civil strife of 1861 So and less
than one third of the sum expended by
France and Germany in their brief, but
tremendous, struggle in the early '70s.
The war debts of the world agRre-
gate, at present, sum exceeding $780,
000,000,OO0. On the computation that
there are about l.5OO,OOO,OOO of people
on earth, the worlds war debt, if divided
equally among them, would give al
average of Sl8 for each man, woman
and child to carry.
But war involves other costs besides
gold. There is, for instance, the de-
structiOn of human life. The Ameri-
can civil war stands first in this respect,
also, more than 500, 600 men having been
carried off by death on the field, by
wounds or by disease. In the CrimeaD
war the fearful number of 10000
deaths was reached, while in the
Franco. Prussisn war the total losses
were 225, OOC In these three wars there
were people enough done to death to
make up greater city than Chicago.
Besides the thousands recorded as
dying in battle or of disease, there were
other thousands manned and others
again who contracted sickness which
brought them, after the conclusion of
peace, to untimely graves. There were,
also, deaths in great number due to the
absence from home of the natural pro.
viders of families. The losses inflicted
on the world by the absence from prof
liable labor of hundreds of thousands
of stslwsrt men engaged in war, it is
impossible to estimate. OF war, it is
we'll ssid that it is 80 homicidal in ma
ture that it Stays thousands of victims,
even at q distance of thousands of
miles from the field of actual carnage.
