General Chaffee's Home Coming.

Major General Adna r. Chaffee re-
linquished command OF the army in
the Philippines Oct. 2, and sailed on
the same day for San Francisco. He
was escorted to the steamer by a pro-
ceSsion which included all the general
officers now in Manila, hundreds of
other army officers, Governor Taft,
the members of the Philippine CON-
mission, and a great crowd of civilians,
including Americans and Filipinos.
He will be received with great en-
thusiasm in San Francisco, and high
nonors will be paid him. Washing
ton, New York, Chicago and other
cities will tender him receptions.
General Chaffee is an ideal Ameri-
can soldier. His training has all been
in the field, He volunteered as a
private in the regular army soon after
Fort Sumpter was fired on in 1861. He
saw hard service in the civil war and
hard service in the Indian war. He
distinguished himself in both, and as
the commander of the column that at
tackled Ely Caney in front of Santiago.
in the Cuban war, he won special dis
tinction. In the reorganization Of
Cuba he served as chief Of staff to the
military governor, which means that
he was the active executive officer in
charge of affairs.
HIS services in the field, his great
success as an administrative officer
led to his appointment to command the
American troops for the relief of the
besieged legations in Pekin in 1900
There, as in the caller stages of his
career, he was first and last the man
of action.
While others talked and conferred
he did something and his plain de-
claration, when the European COM
manders had decided that an immedi-
ate march on Pekin was impracticable
to the effect that his orders were to go
forward and he was going forward, IN.
dOubtedly prevented delay in the at
tack on Pekin and saved the lega-
lions.

Jockeys Salaries.

One of the features Of the season OF
1902, the most notable in the history
of the American turf, has been the
scarcity of good jockeys. The princi-
pal cause of this scarcity is the heavy
draft made on the American rider by
England and the continent. The
american INVASION" SO much in EVIL
dence of late, has been especially
noticeable in the matter of jockeys.
The law of supply and demand OBJ
tains upon the turf as elsewhere, and
astonishing salaries have been paid
star American jockeys, both here and
abroad. The word astonishing" is
used advisedly. The salaries of states
men, railroad officials. judges, and
even trust magnateS, pale into inSig-
nificance in comparison with the
amounts received by some of these
midgetS, many of them mere boys in
their teens.
The case of Lucien Appleby Lyme
affords an example and also basis of
computation. Lyme, who won both
the American Derby and the Futurity
this year for John A. Drake. Of CHI
cago, is paid $40, 900 by his employer
for first call on his services. A Chi
cago firm controls his services when
be is not required by Drake, at cost
of $50 1t is estimated that he has
made SIS, 900 more this year In riding
fees. or s33, 900 in all. Next year
Lyme will ride in England for James
r. Keep at salary Of $40, 900.

A novel experiment is being tried
by the Mccormick Harvesting Ma
chine company Of Chicago with a
view of solving the serious problem of
the relations of capital and labor. A
young woman of extended experience
in sociological work has been employed
solely to look after the welfare Of the
army of employees in the works. Their
comfort during working hourf, their
care in sickness. and their pleasures
all come under her attention. Sugges-
tiOnS which she makes to the officials
of the company are taken up for con-
sideration and, in large number of
cases, adopted. The success of the
young woman's work is said to be
shown best by the freedom from labor
disturbances which the big harvester
plant has enjoyed since she entered on
her novel duties. Long and bitter
strikes have taken place there in the
past, but at present, it is said, the
company is more popular with its en-
ploys than ever before.

trust TO have their condition improved

it is difficult to conceive that he could
do otherwise than respectfully decline
the proposition. 1t is believed that
he told the President that the strikers

Fancy Prices for HOGS.


Lincoln LukenS. of Disco, Wabash
county, had a sale of fine hogs Thurs
day.
Monroe Steiner, David and LEROY
Staley were among those from this
county who attended.
An idea of what the finest hogs sell
for may be obtained from the follow
ing prices:
One SOW, Daisy Mckinley sold for
s17O;Faultles Perfection brought $500
Luken's Best s142.5O; Maids Chief
s155; Gold Queen sl4O; Lady Wilkes
$3.50; Golden Gem s110; Perfection
500.
Cniefess Tecumsch with seven pigs
two weeks old brought $500 and many
other hogs were sold at prices ranging
from $50 to 500. Mr.. Lukens has
one male hog that he values at 5000,
and he refused an offer of S125 for a
male pig four weeks old.

Teachers in Session.

The Northern Indiana Superintend-
ents' club was in session in this city
Friday and today, This club is an
association of superintendentS of city
schools and is limited in number to
twenty members. The meetings are
spent in discussions of questions OF
school management. Friday was
gwen TO visiting the Plymouth
schools.
The principal questions discussed
were: The plymouth Schools, "De.
partment Instruction., - Home
Study" "The Arithmetic Text
book. =" "Unprofessional designs upon
the Teachers Position, +" Furnishing
Working Plans to Teachers, ""Truan.
cy Legislation, and "The County In
Stitute.'
The opinion CT the club upon the
latter question is embodied in the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unan.
imously adopted:
We recognize that the county In
StituteS of Indiana for many years
have exerted great force in uplifting
the teaching in our schools; and we
believe that Institutes, properly and
wisely conducted, must ever be most
potent factor in securing educational
growth: but when we count the great
cost of our present institute system
and the average quality of instruction
given. together with the great pro-
feSsional needs of the teachers, we
believe the present law should be
amended so that the management of
the institute should be placed in
charge of persons of high professional
ability and the instruction be given
only by licensed institute workers.

forbids Faith Cure in Indiana,

By unanimous decision of the In
diana supreme court the law of 1901
defining the practice will be declared
constitutional, and the powers of the
courts to enforce it against all per-
sons who attempt to practice without
a license was fully sustained.
The case came up from Lawrence
county, where Prof. George Parks was
arrested for practicing without a
license, having treated boy who
is cripple by what is Known as
magnetic healing.
The court upholds only reputable
schools of medicine, and decides
against the practice Of Christian Sci
ence or healing by faith. The state
board of examination and registration
will proceed at once against that class
under the decision.

A dispatch from Scranton of Oct. 6
said it was estimated that not less
than 5000 strikers had left the coal
region that day to take employment
in the iron mills in western PennSy-
lvania and in parts of Ohio. Another
party, it is said, had left for western
New York, where they were offered
employment. Several prominent pa
pers have remarked that this source
of weakness which the miners had not
thought of. These papers are mis-
taken. This is source of strength
which will do more to give working
men good wages than anything they
have ever done. When workingmen
show that they are independent and
seek work in some other line of bust
ness when their wages are not salts
factory they will no longer be the
slaves or tools of anybody.

SAFE BLOWERS AT BURKET.
ROBBERS Bind and Gag Homer McGin.
ley, Crack the Safe and Get
$50 in Cash.

Three masked men forced an en-
trance to the general store of w. E.
Davis at Burket, Kosciusko county,
at l O'Clock Thursday morning,
reached the bedside of Homer McGin-
ley, who was sleeping in the store,
before he was aware of their presence,
bound and gagged him, and blew open
the safe with nitroglycerine, securing
$3.50 in cash and several dollars worth
of notes.
The robbers entered the store by
forcing the front door. They pro-
ceeded to the room of MCKINLEY and
got within perhaps four feet of the
sleeping man before they apprised
him of their presence. The leveled
revolvers at McGinley's head and the
leader, in gruff voice, commanded
him to get up as quickly as possible
and open The safe for them, as they
felt sure he knew the combination.
They threatened McGinley's life, but
he repeatedly declined to accommo-
date the robbers. The gang there
upon decided to bind and gag him.
which they did. While one of the
men held the muzZle of his revolver
OF McGinley's head the other two did
the work, fastening Mr.. Davis en-
ploye to the bed in such way that
he could not move.
The robbers then turned their at
tentiOn to the safe. After drilling a
hole about the lock the quantity of
nitroglycerine which they used was
not sufficient TO force the door and
the robbers tried the second time.
In this effort they were successful.
In fact, the whole front of the safe
was blown to pieces. The robbers
then hastily secured the money and
notes and made good their escape
without having been seen by any of
the Burket people except Mckinley
whom they left bound in the store.

A Righteous Decision.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has
just upheld the act of 1901 defining
the practice Of medicine, and the
effect of the decision is to make illegal
the practice of magnetic healing by
one who has not the usual physician S
license. The court does not diScrimi-
nate against magnetic healing, but
only holds that if it is to be practiced
it must be by men who are not "em-
prizes. That the whole subject of
the public health is within the scope
Of the legislative authority can hardly
at this late day, be denied. 1t is all
well enough to say that the individual
ought to be left to himself in the
matter of medical treatment, but the
fact is that there is no subject In re-
gard to which people are so credulouS
and so easily fooled by frauds and pre-
tenders. And as the state has di-
rect and vital interest in the health
and well-being of its citizens, it does
well to intervene to protect them in
this regard against even their own
folly. The main proposition is thus
stated by the court:
For hundreds of years. the matter of
the conservation of the public health
has been a leading matter of police
control. If man holds himself out
to the community as a person skilled in
the science of healing and on that
ground seeks the opportunity to ex-
erclse the skill he claims to possess.
his business becomes impressed with
public character, and he is, therefore
subject to reasonable regulations in
its prosecution. +"
The mere fact that "healer" does
not call himself a physician. ought
not, if he practices healing, to relieve
him of the necessity of having a
physicians license. This is mere
evasion Of the law which ought not
to be tolerated. Indiana is full of So
called healerS, many of whom are
ignorant and unSkilled even in the
work that they try to do. 1t is
thought that as result of the de-
cision of yesterday, many of them
may be driven out of business. We
hope so.-Indianapolis News.

Meat Tariff Rouse. Germany.

Pork is the topic of the hour in
Germany. The refusal of the imper-
ial authorities to listen to protests
against the exclusion of foreign hogs
has temporarily united all sections of
the population. The Enforcement
newspapers treat the meat question
with seriousness as a great political
issue. The people make it general
topic of conversation at home and in
business. The variety theaters re-
sound with songs and jokes about pigs
and even preachers refer to the SUBJ
ject in their sermons.
Meanwhile the social democrats are
overjoyed at the prospect that the
governments attitude toward the
principal food Of the working classes
will give socialism the greatest i'm
petus it has yet experienced as soon
as the people are able to register their
opinions py means OF the ballot box.
