. The Panama Canal Treaty.

The Colombian Congress has unanl-
mously rejected the Panama canal
treaty. This action seems to have
created more of sensatiJ IN in Panama
than in this country.
Our Government has the alternative
of the Nicaragua route, and the law
empowers anc directs the president to
build by that route If satisfactory ar
rangements can not be made for the
control OF territory in Panama. That
this power will be used, if necessary,
can not, of course, be doubted. 1t is
said that tie Colombian Senators
think the talk of the Nicaragua route
is mere threat on our part They
are mistaken, for the people OF the
United states are determined that the
canal shall be built. And If the
Colombians will not permit us to build
it through their territory we shall
build it somewhere else, even if the
route be less desirable.

The Centenary Of Chicago.

1t has been determined on what is
regarded as sufficient evidence that
Fort Dearborn, on the original site OF
Chicago, was completed and occupied
by United States soldiers Aug. IL,
1sO3-1oo years ago today. This year
is therefore regarded as Chica go's GEN.
tennial.
The centennial celebration will be
held during the week following Sept.
rs II everything shall be favorable. A
fund OF 800, 900 will be collected for
the payment Of expenses.
That Chicago is many. hundreds OF
years instead Of 100 years old does not
admit of doubt. The mouth of the
Chicago river was bordered by Indian
settlements from prehistoric times.
White traders visited the spot and re-
NAMED for business from almost the
earliest period OF American discovery.
1t would be as sensible to date the
foundation of Rome from the year
when the first marble edifice was
erected on the banks of the Tiber-
instead of the year of Romulus--as it
is to date the foundation of Chicago
from the completion of Fort Dear
born.-Chicago Chronicle.

their fortieth annual reunion and cele-
brate the fortieth anniversary OF the
battle OF Chickamauga, at Chicka-
manga Natioaal park, on Sept. 1e, 19

some of the fiercest fighting and
greatest display of valor of the civil
war. Many Of the survivors of this
memorable battle, both of the blue

upon the old battlefield a number of
able speakers will be on hand to recall
the days of the rebellion and COM

Union Service Popular,

The union services on Sunday eye-
'nings are proving exceedingly popular.
Every Sunday evening the seating Ca
pacity of the church where the meet
ing has been held has been taxed to
it's utmost capacity. The singing has
been inspiring and the sermons to the
point.
The evening service was held at the
Presbyterian Church and the sermon
was preached by Rev. Ray Epson. He
chose as his text the "Elder Brother
of the Prodigal Son Parable and de-
clared him to be a PhariSee who
thanked God he was not as other men
are.

really consists in doing some positive,
aggressive work for the glory of God
and the well being Of men," Mr.. Up
son then reviewed the meetings which
had been held and said he earnestly
prayed they might result ina more
united, effective service on the part of
of the churches for the good of the
city. The meeting next Sunday eve-
ming will consist of song service and
will be held in the German Evangeli-
cal church. A very rich musical pro-
gramme is being prepared for the
event.

A Veterans Return.

One of the picturesque and sensa-
tional incidents of the Grand Circuit
season of trotting and pacing has been
the revival of the veteran reinSman,
Budd Doble, whose career includes
nearly all Of the brightest era of light
harness racing. He had apparently
lost his place, but once more, as Oliver
Wendell Holmes wrote in pleasant
verse, "The catarrhal name" of Budd
Doble sounds in 1.-THE nasal trump of
fame.
He is nearly the last OF the old
guard which was driving horses when
Robert Bonner began to dignity trot-
tiers by paying fabulous prices for them.
In those days good horses went to
Bonner's stable to live in ease and die
in clover. 1t was back in 1867 that
Doble was driving Dexter as well as
trotting him under saddle, until Bon
ner bought the famous trotter. After
that he made his trIumphal march
across the continent with Goldsmith
Maid. Twelve years ago he was bring
ing Nancy Hanks forward as the queen
of trotters, and year later on In
diana tracks she first eclipsed Maud
SIS 2:083 and then set the mark at
2:04. 1t had taken twenty-five years
to pass from the 2:174 of Dexter to
the 2:04 of Nancy Hanks, and then
both Doble and Nancy had reached
their apogee. Other drivers drove
other trotters faster until at last Cres-
ceus, 2:024 rested at tha crescent limit,
while Lou Dillon, 2;O24, bids fair to
pass him On the way to the two-min-
ute goal.
The driver, who began over forty
years ago, showed nearly mis- old form
at the Empire track last week, and
with the son of Mckinney proved that
he had not lost his nerve or touch in
those fine finishes by a neck or half
length which are the delight of sports
men and the excitement Of the grand
Embellishments Star.

This country has always been in the
lead on the question OF weather. 1t
has better weather and more of 1t
than any other country on the globe.
From the fiftieth parallel almost to
the Tropic of Cancer is stretch of
territory that presents during the
course of year almost every conceiv-
able variety of weather. From Lake
Superior, whose waters are never
above forty degrees IN temperature,
to the orange groves of Florida is an
easy stride in these days of rapid
transit and unequaled railway facili-
ties.
Our lead in matters meteorological
is about to be emphasized in the OBJ
servatory now being erected by the
government at Mount Weather, Va,
for the study of "the higher meteoro-
logical problems. 1t is the belief of
he chief of the Washington We ather
Bureau that the development along
the lines to be pursued by the Mount
Weather observatory will ultimately
lead to the correct prediction of
weather conditions by seasons, which
is now the Mecca of meteorological
science.
The possibility of predicting weather
shy seasons" will be one of the i'm
portant subjects which will be dis
cussed at the gathering of the leading
meteorologists of the world at South
port, England, beginning on Sept. Z
next.
The forecasts" that are are daily
prepared in the central Office in Wash.
ington and certain designated stations
and telegraphed all over the country
have proved of inestimable value to
agricultural and shipping interefts,
and have grown to be amazingly ac-
curate. But to predict weather "by
seasons" would be stride in meteoro-
logical science far beyond the expecta-
tlons of those who first conceived the
idea of a weather bureau.

Justice Brewer, of the United
States Supreme Court, in an article in
Leslie's Weekly, thinks that one thing
can be done to stay this epidemic of
'lynchinging, that is. the establish
ment of greater confidence in thesum-
mary and certain punishment Ut the
criminal. Broadly speaking, this IS
doubtless true. Mr.. Brewer does not
think the people have lost confidence
in the courts, but that the technical
rules, which reverse judgments and
stay executions and result so often in
the criminal going free, have made
them fearful Of legal results. he
urges that the right Of appeal in
criminal cases be abolished, citing the
fact that for q hundred years in the
Federal courts there Was no such right.

HOW TO REDEEM THE COUNTY.

Marshall county can be redeemed
and made a reliable republican county.
The essential point is to knock out
those factionists who lead nothing ex-
cept their own greedy combinations to
get office. There are certainly repub-
licans in this county who can battle
ably for the principles of the party
and the progress Of good government.
That is the way to carry Marshall
county. Let men be nominated who
are earnest, broad gauge, self-respect-
ing republicans, who will go into the
canvass to redeem the. county, not to
anticipate defeat and lay their nets as
Office hucksters after 1T comes. The
main body Of republicans should strike
at the federal patronage factionjsts
whereve: they show themselves. The
republicans of this county believe in
their party thoroughly and will fight
for 1t to the uttermost, but they
have suffered deeply from the federal
patronage leadership course, and their
voice now. as regards the pap sucking

Washington dispatches indicate that
certain land companies in which
government officials in the Indian Ter.
ritory are interested have been doing
an extensive business in cheating the
Indians out Of their lands. Whether
the laws have been violated or the
government defrauded is not quite
clear, but it Is highly indecent for
government officials to be engaged in
cheating the Indians, and in justice
to the latter uhe Indian Bureau should
investigate the matter. The Com
mission of Indian Affairs intimates
that 1t will do so. II it shall appear
that Territorial officials have been en-
gagged in that sort Of business their
official heads will come of as soon as
the facts are brought to the knowledge

Mrs. Eliza Nash.

Eliza Bloomfield was born in Craw-
ford county, Pennsylvania, May 80,
1911.
Her father, Lewis Bloomfield. was
indeed pioneer of that time and gave
the name to Bloomfield Township, of
that county.
In the year 1929 when Eliza was Is
years old, her father, with his large
family removed to Starke County,
Ohio. The farm upon which he SET
tied still continues in the family pos
session owned now by bis grandson,
Thomas Bloomfield.
On March II, 1884, Eliza married
EIihu Nash and in the near neighbor-
hood they founded their home.
Together they endured the priva-
tionS of pioneer life and while the
pressing necessities of this present
time crowded upon them, they were
not unmindful OF moral and spiritual
needs, but found time, besides the hard
work of clearing and cuItivating the
land, to encourage schools in new
country and to be charter members in
the little company that organized the
Methodist Episcopal church in the
villauo of Marlboro
The teacher and the preacher found

From Stark county, Ohio, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nash removed in 1867 to a farm
near this city which they sold in 1878,
after which they lived among their
children, Mr.. Nash dying as before
stated in 1890.
In the later years the infrmitieS of
age have hindered Mother Nash from
entering much into the activities Of
life. Though the habit of industry
preserved to the end and her fingers
were busy almost to the last day.
She was person Of strong traits Of
character. Religion and patriotism,
industry and frugality entered into
the texture of ner being. Always per-
severing and self reliant, she was one
to be depended upon, and friend to
trust in.
She was patient through the long,
tribulation of affection and old age
and died IN great peace at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Hume,
in the early morning of August IA.
