Kick Him Out.

J. Thomas Heff1in was elected in
the Fifth Alabama district to fill an
unexpired term There is some reas-
on to doubt, and a great deal of cause
to hope, that this man will not be
permitted to take seat in congress.
In addition to numerous incendiary
utterances made in public this man
took exceptions to the fact that the
president had invited Booker T.
Washington TO dine at the White
House. And this is what he said:
There they sat, Roosevelt and
Booker, and if some Szgolgos or any
of his kind had thrown a bomb under
the table no great harm would have
been done the country"
We submit that man who will
even think such thing as this is not
fit to hold Office under this govern
ment A man who will give public
utterance to such sentirpent is still
further disqualified. An outspoken
anarchist would hardly be admitted to
the halls of congress and here is a
man who teaches it just as certainly
as any man that was ever hanged or
otherwise punished for treason or fro
murder.
In the sa re speech he intimated
that if Was 1gton undertook to
take hand i'll campaign he would
be visited witt olence, concluding
with the remark: You know we have
way of influencing negroes down
here" Still further he has been guilty
of brutal illusions to the assassina-
ton and death of President Mckinley
and in numerous ways has proved
himself unfit for office or the consid-
Grafton of decent men, Keep him out
if possible, and if he should get in,
kick him out.

township offered to buy the right of
way through his land at appraisers

and carried his case to the supreme

was out of funds and the work was
for two years. The line is
now being cut through Mr. Mating

OF INTEREST TO TRUSTEES.
Attorney General Tells When They
Should be Sworn.

The county superintendent OF
Jasper county received she follow
ing letter from Attorney General
Miller, which is self explanatory
and of interest to the trustees and
taxpayers of Marshall county:
indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 16, 1904.
Dear Sir:-I have your communica-
ton of the second, and in reply will
say that it would be safer for the
township trustees to be sworn in on
December 31st. He would then be
practically in charge of the Office
on Sunday, the first, and the transfer
could be made on Monday morning
early.
The trustee who goes out of Office
would make the regular annual re-
port and would file the same with the
auditor. Very truly yours,

stocks of merchandise without notice

CHARLES HOWELL REEVE
Died at His HOm6 in This Gitu, Tuesday
DEC. II, fit the AO6 OF N6drIu 83 Years.

. He was the father of the Fl. Wayne
& Chicago Railroad, and to him is
due its location throug Marshall
county. The Ohio & Indiana line
was seeking an outlet down the Wa
bash river, when, through Mr. Reeves
personal effort, company was or
ganized to build a road from Fort
Wayne to Chicago, which was after
ward accomplished. For nearly two
years he worked almost alone, but
finally succeeded in enlisting such
interest as enabled him to call a
meeting at Warsaw, over which he
presided, and to which he carried
over $4,000, in subscriptions, from
Marshal county (then poor and
sparsely settled enabling those pres
Ient to organize company, with what
was there subscribed. He lived to see
this road constructed, and TO enjoy
the prosperity and benefits arising
from it. He served this county as
Prosecuting Attorney, and afterward
as State Senator. In both of these
positions he dicharged the duty with
zeal, industry, and his best judgment.
He was married in 1850, and had
three children. His youngest daugh-
ter, Mabel died a few months ago.
His remaining children, Mrs. Anna
Brown and c. A. Reeve are both res
idents of this city.
In his many speeches, lectures and
published articles, Mr.. Reeve has al
ways inculcated the highest and best
principles, looking to the practical,
permanen- and stability, to healthy
progress and the best order; and
Marshall county will reach substan-
tial enehts from his residence within
her boundaries for many years after
his body shall have become part OF
its own earth Good to the poor,
generous 20 the young, just TO his en-
em'es, liberal in the federation OF
opinion on all subjects, industrious,
zealoL, in every good for the public,
hating cruelty and all meanness,
"Charlie Reeve" as his friends called
him, will be greatly missed. The
world he moved in will be the better
for his having lived in it; quaint tales
will be told among the older people
who new him, while he lived, OF his
savings and doings, his stories, mus
ic, fun and queer expressions. Many
will profit from the sound, practical
ideas he had given to the pulic, and
uttered in private conversation, which
will live in practical life for those
who will never have heard of him,
long after he, and all who knew him
shall be forgotten.

Hon. Chas. Howell Reeve was born
in Oneida county, New York, Janu-
ary Is, 1922. and came to Indiana in
1888. The family is an ancient one
on both sides; his male ancestors
came from Wales and located on
Long Island in 1s4O; the first home
stead remains to this day in posses
sion of the lineal descendants of the
first owner From his parents he in
herited some of his leading traits of
character, all of which are clearly
marked. His opportunities for schol-
astic education were quite limited,
and he is self-educated, except in the
slightest rydiments. His father plac-
ed him in the law Office of Hon.
James H Bradley, at Laporte, Ind,
when he was eighteen years old; he
read law 1naer Mr. Bradley, Judge S.
c. Sample and J. A. Liston, and was
admitted to the bar in 1912, just be-
fore he became of age; he disliked
the law, and always practiced under
protest, but there see ned no other
open channel, and having been placed
in it, he followed it, and with success;
after his admission to practice, he
went west and clerked for while at
Chicago, and afterward in New Yor'-
City; finally, he located at Plymouth,
Indiana, in 1916, and remained here
ever since, occupying one Office and
one residence nearly continuously,
and never having changed but once.
Mr.. Reeve was person of whom it is
difficult to present q correct view; he
was called eccentric, but that is not
the correct word to use;he only seem
ed TO be so; in fact he was the reverse
of eccentric, for he moved in right
line, with a distinctive individuality
that is niiscalled eccentric; he was of
positive temperments who sought TO
act it, regardless of result to himself;
his mind was a philosophical one.
He was fluent and rapid speeker,
had unusual command of language;
unlimitd faculty of comparison; had
quick perceptions, was great reader,
a close reaso er, a careful thinker.
took original views, and used many
original expressions in soeeking and
writing; everything he done was
quick and rapid in its action walk
ing, talking, writing, adapting HIM
self to such emergencies-all rapid,
but he never lost his lead; he was
emphatic in the declaration of fact,
mad expressed a plausile opinion in
terse language He studied al. his
life to know himself, he respected
public opinion, he was scrupulo sly
honest, believed the aim of ti-~ law to
be the accomplishment of justice, an1
had no patience with ny Forts

Work For Watch Dogs.

The Indiana legislature is over
whelming Republican. There will be
work for several watch dogs. Too
big a majority is not oily unwieldy,
but it may become dangerous. Care
should be taken that there is free
dom from extravaganza and vicious

not forget that they must account to

MICHIGAN CITY'S BUILDING.
Shaw Recommends an Ap-
preparation of $s7 200.


Michigan City's proposed federal
building continues to grow more dis
tinct each year. Secretary Shaw
yesterday sent to the house building
and grounds committee reports on
several public building projects in In
diana, including the one for Michi-
gan City. He recommends an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the buildings
and $4,000 additional for the site.
The idea of the secretary is to erect
a one-story and basement hreproof
building, covering $500 square feet,
with heating and ventilating apparat-
US, fire proof vaults and approaches.

Wood Cheats in Elkhart.

Wood cheats are being prosecuted
in Elkhart. Augustus Dennert paid
farmer for two cords of wood and
when he stacked it he found but little
over half the amount. The seller was
arrested, paid back two dollars of the
money he received and was relased.
1t is claimed the practice of dealing
out short wood measure is practiced
extensively. Any man who would
cheat on wood ought to get a good
dose of the law and the more this
system is put in vogue by the public
the surer they are to get the amount
of wood they pay for.
