Old Government Bonds.

A $500 government bond on which
interest had not been paid for nearly
thirty years was presented for redemp-
ton at the treasury department last
week. The owner will not be paid
interest for the entire period, how
ever, for the bond was called for re-
demption in 1879 and interest ceased
then, but the unpaid coupons amount
ed to S187. The bond was forwarded
from Berkhelm, Germany, where it
was found back of an old daguerro-
type. In cleaning the frame it came
apart and the bond, wrapped in pa
per, fell out. The finder knew MOTH
ing of the history OF the picture, and
the only clew to its former ownership
is that the frame was made in Dor
chester, Mass. There are outstand-
ing some 81 $4,000 OF old govern
ment bonds, upon which interest has
ceased at different periods.

No Flour Mill Strike.

The employees and the employers in
the flour mills in Minneapolis have
compromised their differences. The
men demanded an eight-hour day with
the same wages they were receiving
for ten-hour day. The employers
refused to accede TO the demand. In
stead of strike a conference follow
ed, when the employers proposed an
hour wage which considerably in
creased the compensation, but not to
the extent previously demanded. The
men, after deliberations, accepted.
Consequently there will be no strike
in the great Touring mills, no loss of
time, no boycott, no-interruption of
business. How long before such ad-
justmentS will be the rule and the de-
structive strike the very rare excep-
ton?

Peter Helm, the republican candi-
date for representative, deserves the
support of all the voters of Marshall
county regardless CT party. Peter
was born in German township 50 years
ago and from that time until the pres
ent he has been a resident of the coun-
ty, always doing all in his power to
advance its interests. He was born
on a farm and still resides on farm.
He has grown with the county and
has in every way kept pace with all
improvements, has always been ready
to assist in all legitimate enterprises,
has been a friend of education and a
prominent worker in the farmers in
stitutes, always true friend of what
ever would advance the interests of
his county and tlle entire country.
BE has an excellent family and there
is not a flaw in bis character. The
voters Of Marshall county should
esteem it an honor to vote for such a
man and it does not seem possible
mat they will allow such man to
be defeated. Let US have a repre-
sentative man in the legislature.

been spent here with her parents and
brother and sister. Modest and I'M
assuming she came and went among
her associates strewing her pathway
with sunshine and flowers and leaving
the example of pure and spotleSs life
as priceless heritage for them and
her family and numerous friends.
The writer of this has long since
learned how trifling are mere words,
and how empty are meaningless and
rounded sentences, when we stand by
the vacant chair of deceased friend;
and he can only say these few words
in memory of the departed; lay lit
tie wreath of for-get-me-nots on her
bier and drop a little bud of ever
green on the newly made grave of one
whose virtues were to be admired and
emulated and whose friendship was as
pure as the morning dew.
As we see these friends one by one
pass over the river of time, stopping
only to catch the sound of the nluffled
oar, the shore lights and beacons Of
this life wax dim and we can only lay
our tired hands upon the coffin lid and
await with fortitude the summons
that shall call us hence.

But she is not dead. The poet we'll said:
There il no dea b. The stars go down.

Sunday on the abscess on the leg of
President Roosevelt. In the former
operation a simple needle was used to
relieve the trouble, but Sunday the
surgeons with knife made an incision
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. The presidents case has
progressed satisfactorily, but it is
believed by the physicians that the
further operation made Sunday will

Democratic Record on Trusts.

The following article was written
by A. B, Sibert of Rochester, who
writes for the Rochester Republican
under the head of"Maniton Musings. ."
Ten years ago-in lS92-the demo-
cratic platform and campaign slogan
was, down with the trust and the
robber tariff
On this issue they elected demo-
cratic president and house of repre-
SentativeS (the senate remaining re-
publican) and for the ensuing two
years were able to lay their failures
on the alleged obstinacy of the sem
ate.
In 1894 the republican majority in
the senate was replaced by one strong
ly democratic, and for two years the
democracy controlled the entire work
ing machinery of the nation.
OF the disastrous effects of the tar
iff legislation that casued it is not the
purpose of this article to discuss ex-
cept as it pertains to trusts
The three largest taliff-effected
trusts in the country at that time
were sugar, steel and coal, and 1t is
notorious fact of history that these
three combined and were able to name
their respective schedules in the Will
sOn-Gorman democratic tariff.
The falling off in demand for coal
and iron, consequent on the awful
business Stagnation that ensued. pre-
vented the steel magnates and coal
baronS from reaping their expected
profits, but we have the best of DEM
Ocratic authority for the statement
that the profits of the sugar trusts were
thirty millions year.
At the same time we were advised
by the democratic attorney general
that the constitution forbidS federal
interference with general business
operations, and that the regulation
and control of trusts must be left to
the respective state legislatures. Act
ing, or pretending to act, on this high
legal Interpretation of the constitu-
ton, the democrats in congress re-
fused to pass any laws for trusts con-
troll and thus we have the democratic
record up to their going out of power
in 1896.
A little oyer year ago the republic
cans in congress endeavored to submit
an amendment to the constitution
giving congress power over trusts, but
the democrats voted against it in a
body and it failed for want of two
thirds majority.
Thus we have the democratic record
on trusts to date as follows:
l. No attempts to suppress trusts.
2. No enactment for trust control.
3. The three most arbitrary trusts
in the country favored in the demo-
cratic tariff schedules.
4. Determined opposition to
change Of the constitution whereby
trusts might and could be regulated,
or suppressed when necessary.

Miss Carrie Brooke.

Miss Carrie Brooke died at the home
of her sister Mrs. F. G.. Smith at
South Bend. Indiana, Thursday morn
ing Sept. %, 1902. at O'Clock.
Her illness had been Of long dura-
tion reaching back nearly 2. year and
for fifteen weeks she had been confn-
ed to her bed. Her trouble was so OBJ
scure that not until ten days prior to
her death could positive diagnosis of
her case be made either by her physi-
clans at home or by the specialists at
Fort Wayne or South Bend where she
had been taken tor treatment. Five
weeks prior to her death, in the hope
that the local water treatment as ad-
vocated and given by the Battle Creek
Sanitarium would be beneficial she
was removed TO the home of her Sis
ter at South Bend, Indiana. About
two weeks ago symptoms developed
that caused the attending physician
to make a diagnosis of tubercular per-
itonitis. Counsel of two other ply
sicians was called, the second on last
Monday, and their diagnosis was in
confirmation of the attending physi-
clan and all agreed that there was no
hope except through the operation
made in like cases Of tubercular peril
onitis. She willingly assented to the OPP
Grafton and was SO very brave about
it and stood the ordeal of the neces-
sary preparation for the same with
complete composure and remarkable
fortitude. The operation was made
at II o'clock on Wednesday last and
in view of the erroneous report that
is current as to its disclosures it is
deemed proper to say that the opera
ton showed the diagnosis to have been
correct, that the trouble was tuber-
cular peritonitis, but that nothing ma
lIgnant in the way of cancerous growth
or tumor was present and that the
whole trouble lay in the peritoneum.
and that death would have been a
question Of but a short time and at
tended with great suffering. She
came out of the operation SO we'll that
the family and physicians felt very
much encouraged and Wednesday eve-
ming they had more hope in their
hearts than they had experienced for
weeks. She, herself, was very hope
full and talked of how nice it was that
she could lie on her left side "a thing
she had been unable to do for months)
and talked with the nurse of some
things she would do when she got up.
About two O'Clock Thursday morning
she was taken suddenly worse and
later little better, but her vitality
was insufficient and she soon lapsed
into Inconsistencies and at nine
O'Clock passed quietly and peacefully
away without the slightest struggle,
it being impossible to tell when the
last breath left her. She is the first
of her family to 60 and leaves de-
voted father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
X. K. Brooke, sister Mrs. f. G.
Smith, and brother, Mr.. X. F.
Brooke.
The funeral was held at the family
residence Sunday at 2:3O O'Clock con-
Quoted by the Rev. L. G. Buckles, of
Lafayette, former pastor of the
Methodist church and an intimate
friend of the family. The Mozart Mu-
steal club, of which the deceased was
a member, attended the funeral in a
body and conducted the music.

Abolish the Subtreasuries.

If the subtreaSurieS were abolished
and the taxes received by the govern
ment, custom duties and all, were
payable at the national banks, as the
internal revenue taxes now are, the
money would never be out of circula-
tion and would always be available for
business purposes.
But greatest of all advantages would
be no necessity for the secretary of
the treasury to be constantly inter
vening in the business of the country
and controlling the money interests.
Hitherto we have had able and pa
triotic secretaries whose sole thought
was for the best advantage of the
country-men who would no more
think of taking corrupt dollar or of
profiting by financial situations they
could control than they would think
of committing treason. But they
might not always be SO.
Our present system gives the secre-
tary of the treasury a despotie
power over the finances of the people
that no man should possess.
1t should be repealed at the earliest
possible day, and it is to be hopeu
that Secretary Shaw in bis next re-
port to congress win show forth these
evils and strongly urge repeal. Chi
