J. Frank hanly's Vote.

The size of j. Frank aanly's
vote is one of the interesting
features of the returns. 1t will
require more complete returns
than are now available to show
how much he has run behind
Roosevelt and Fairbanks in In.
diana. In the larger cities, such
as indianapolis and Terre Haute,
where the saloon is powerful, he
has run away behind. but in
other counties, like Floyd and
Decatur, he has either led all of
other candidates or has run at
least equally as we'll as the ma
tional ticket. j.. 1t is expected that
his total vote will not be more
than 5000 short of that given to
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
One of the surprising features
of the election is found in the
congressional contests, particu-
larly in the 18th district. The
most authentic reports indicate
that Newton W. Gilbert has been
elected to succeed James M.
Robinson.

PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

the largest pluralities in their po-
litical history.
In nearly every state the plu-
ralities are in excess of those re.
ceived by Mckinley four years
ago. Parker ran behind Bryan
in the east, and New York with
200. 600 majority, laughs at the
democrats for CHASING that state
as debatable.
The states generally regarded
as doubtful, have spoken in no
uncertain tones The three
states in the east, New York,
New Jersey, and Connecticut,
which Parker stumped and in
VIII ich he made his personal a.
tack on the president, all showed
by their pluralities for Roose-
velt that they liked the
presidents indignant denial.
All democratic hopes were GEN.
tered really in New York, and and
these hopes were shattered when
it was found that Tammany had
failed to make good it's promise
of sufficient majority in New
York City to overcome the re
publican vote up the state.
Roosevelt won the state by
185, 900, exceeding McKinley's
plurality of $4,000 Parker
carried the greater city by 40, 1000
loosing Brooklyn, which had
been regarded as surely demo
cratic. The astonishing figures
are supposed 10 he due to the ad-
ministration of the presidents
vigorous Americanism, which
led many young Tammanyites to
vote for him., This is believed
to be the only tangible result of
the specter of the 'big stick"
of which the Parker leaders
made so much before they
dropped it to accuse the presi-
dent of blackmailing the trusts.
1t is also asserted that the
democratic campaign in New
York was badly managed since
Hill was showed aside at the de-
mand of Parker's sponsors in
Manhattan and the candidate
took personal charge of his cam.

Oil Of Peppermint.

The production of peppermint
oil is making many of the North
ern Indiana farmers rich and the
list of growers is increasing.

county experimental this year
and put out three acres. from
which he manufactured 130
pounds of oil at $3.50 pound.
He will increase the acreage
next year, He owns a still and
manufactures the oil by the use
of a steam engine which he rents
for that purpose. The firrt step
is the steaming and stilling of
the plants, which requires great
care. The plants when once
started will be a successful crop
for four or five years without re-
planting and the crop is gather
ed with moving machines the
same as clover seed is gathered.
Most of the peppermint growers
have no stills, and haul their
crop of mint across the country
for many miles. Peppermint
fields, which are always found in
the low, wet land, have contrib
uted to great wealth among the
farmers in Northern Indiana and
Southern Michigan.

What the Records Show.

The records show that the val
uation of corporate property,
which includes railways, tele-
graph, telephone, express, trans
portation companies, etc., as Tx
ed by the last democratic state
ooard of tax commissioners in
1894 was 60,639, 900. The val
uation as fixed by the republican
state board in 1904 was S196, 939,
III. This is an increase of 224
per cent.
The valuation of farm lands
and improvements in Indiana by
the last democratic state tax board
in 1894 was $40. 676, 155. The
valuation as fixed by the repub-
lican state tax board in 1904 was
1896, 357,758 This is an increase
of 10a per cent, or less than one
half the relative increase placed
on corporate property.

His Wedding Fee.

1t was thought worth while to
telegraph from Rockford, ILL.,,
that a minister of that place,
after performing a marriage cer-
emonv, had been paid 10 cents
by the groom as fee.
Why should this incident be
considered of consequence? Evi-
IDENTIFY it was given out by the
minister himself, as such tranac-
tions are commonly confidential;
are ION the side," so to speak,
and not executed under the glare
of the public eye. Inferentially
the minister felt that he had not
received enough; he wanted
more, and was aggrieved be-
cause the fee was so small.
Now, the value set upon the
marriage ceremony is fixed by
the groom himself. The minis.
ter can not impose a charge for
such service. 1t is part of his
professional duty, and though it
is, in a sense, an extra one, yet
he is bound to perform it wheth-
er he receives a fee or not. Nat
urally, every we'll regulated
groom wishes to offer a token OF
appreciation to the man who Of
ficiates at this important event
in his life. and, as a rule, he
tenders a liberal sum. often much
more than what may be called
the market rate fixed by justices
of the peace. But was the groom
in question lacking in proper
spirit? By no means: He paid
10 cents, and it was his last 10
cents outside of the car fare nee
essary to take himself and his
bride home.
What could a groom do more?
1t is true that some persons may
say he had no business to marry
until he had more money, but
that is going outside of the ques-
tion. That is his affair and his
brides. If they choose to mar
ry on love and car fare, shall a
minister complain? 1t is his
part to marry them when they
come before him take what is Of
fered him and be thankful. In

between the present and the
past. He was born in the orig
inal fort, while the place was be-
sieged by the Indians, in 1918.
His mother is believed to have
been the first white child in Indi-

her father. Baptiste Chapeteau,
a French Canadian trader, when
a young girl. She became a
great favorite among the Miam-
is, with whom her father traded,
and was called by them ':Golden
Hair" She was so much of a
favorite among the savages that
she was safe, even in time of
war, and there are traditions that
her appeals to the chiefs saved
parties of white men when moth
ing else could have had influence.

The Onion Industry.

The raising of onions is be-
coming an industry of considera-
BILE Importance in the country
surrounding Walkerton. 1t is
one of the most profitable branch
es of agriculture and affords as
much remuneration to a given
acreage as any other crop that
can be raised; in fact, it is more
profitable than the majority of
crops. Every acre counts in the
onion industry. An acre of
onions is almost equivalent to a
small farm planted to wheat,
corn and other grains. Consid-
cradle employment is also given
to people in the fields during
times of wedding and harvesting
Seitz & Sons, who are the
heaviest onion raisers in this
section, had out so acres this
year, from which they raised
about IL car loads. or 8, 900 bush
els, of onions. for which they re-
ceived from 40 to 45 cents a bush
ell During the wedding time
they employed 25 hands and
about 80 hands during the harry
est.
w. r. Vermillion raised Is
acres of onions and Mr.. Camp,
William Sawyer, William Ander-
son and a few others had out a
small acreage. About 25 car
loads, or over 10000 bushels of
onions were shipped from this
place this season.
The red variety bring 40 cents
a bushel, while the yellows sell
at As cents in the city markets.
The onions are shipped to New
Orleans, Detroit. Philadelphia,
Atlanta, Ca, and other points.
Farmers are becoming inter
ested in the industry and more
will take hold of it in this vicini-
ty, it being estimated that the
acreage will be fully doubled
next season.
Much of the land adjacent to
Walkerton is we'll suited to the
cultivation of this pungent and
o1oriterous vegetable, ri, b, well
drained marsh land land being
the best for the purpose.-walk-

Missing Man Turns Up.

Daniel TraXler. the Fort Wayne
commercial traveller who dis
appeared from Argos, a few
weeks ago. has been found alive
and well in Nebraska. The hopes
of his relatives we're sadly shat
tered Wednesday morning by a
rumor that his dead body had
been taken from the Tippecanoe
river, but almost at the same
time, Mrs. Traxler received a
letter from her brother, Mr..
Peter Kirchner. of grand Island
Neb., stating that the missing
man had arrived in the Nebraska
town last Saturday morning,
suffering from a severe illness
and remembering nothing of his
experience of the past few weeks
but still in a condition that en-
courages the belief that he will
recover. This news of the miss
ing man is the first received by
the almost distracted family
since he left Agros. Several
hundred men secured the coun-
try in the vicinity of Argos for
almost a week and bloodhounds
were sent from Ft. Wayne to aid
in the search, but no traces
could be found, and not a single
rumor as to his whereabouts
reached the ears of the searchers
beyond one. which had it that he
boarded a train in a little town
not far from Argos. Mr.. Trax-
Ter has for many years been en-
ployed as a travelling salesman
for Bursley & Co., and he was
one of their trusted men. His
trip to Argos on the day he dis
appeared was in the interest of
the company and he was to have
met air. Smock, manager of
statesmen for the company, on
the afternoon he left there. The
Bursley company made every
effort to assist in finding its miss
ing employe, and it was at the
instance of the company that
blOOdhounds were sent to Argos.

Pennsylvania in The Lead.

Pennsylvania remains the ban
ner republican state, with some
where between 800, 900 and $780,
600 plurality. This exceeds the
high water mark of '301, 900 for
Mckinley in 1895. Philadelphia
alone gave 10, 900 majority. The
banner democratic state ofTexas
shows its old reliable majority of
a hundred thousand or so less
than Pennsylvania has given to
the republicans.
This is the end of one of the
most unusual campaigns in the
history of American politics. 1t
began with the sensational gold
standard telegram of Parker. 1t
lapsed into listlessness that
ended in bitterness through the
unprecepentad charges made by
one conservative candidate
against the other. And the re-
suit is the first election of a pres
ident to the Office he had obtain
ed after succession on the death
on his predecessor.

Up From Poverty.

The triumph of Frank Hanley
is another illustration of how a
poor boy can rise in this country.
He was born of humble parten-
age and his early life was one of
unusual toll and privation. He
began earning his own living
when a boy by doing whatever
work he could find to do. Some
times it was chopping wood,
sometimes ditching, and as he
grew older. teaching school.
Even when teaching he worked
as a wood chopper outside of
school. hours, and on moonlight
nights he often worked till late
in the night digging bitches to
piece out his scanty income.
His physical constitution was
strong as iron, and it was not
long till he developed unusual
strength as a debater and be-
came known as political speak
er of force and magnetism. His
rise in the profession Of law was
rapid, and came notonly from his
natural ability but from the oub-
lie belief in his sincerity aud in
tegrity. He is not only clear
headed, but clean handed and
clean tongued. Nobody ever
hears from him a foul word or
smutty story, and indirection
and underhandedness have no
part in his makeup.

Snow on The Moon.

1t was the sagacious David
Harum's idea that a reasonable
number of fieas are good for a
dog, because they take his mind
away from other tronbles
The esteemed democratic party
needs someth ing today to dis
tract its mind from it's tribula-
tions. In the absence of feas or
other counter irritant it is rec
ommendended to fix its atten-
ton on some topic of interest re-
mote from politics. There, for
instance. is the problem now be-
ing discussed by scientists, name
ly: SIS There Snow on the
Moon?"
1t will be the easier for them
to consider the question because
of the GOODNESS of the atmosphere
that now surrounds them. ''Their
thoughts on awful subjects roll,
damnatlon" (Watts), and the
white frost that has just shrivel-
ed them. and snow will be con.
genial theme.
Is there snow on the moon?
As Judge Parker turns his con.
templatlve gaze toward that fan
luminary from his now lonely
dooryard at Esopus, will he not
be disposed to think there is? 1t
is cold at Esopus. it looks cold on
the moon; it looks white and
drear and unsympathetic; it looks
like snow, Undoubtedly the
judge will hold that there is snow
and that in all probability it is
controlled by the trusts -Indi-

Before the inauguration of the
next president it is likely this
country will have treaties with
quite or nearly all the great
powers, whereby disputed ques-
tions shall first be left to arbi
tration. and war will be only a
final resort, when all else has
failed. Secretary Hay has al.
ready secured such a treaty with
France, and has nearly conclud-
ed one with Germany, and We un-
derstand others with other great
powers are likely to follow.
This is a practical way of abol-
ishing war, and if other nations
are as peace.inclined as is the
United States great armies and
great navies will sometime be
entirely unnecessary as precau
tions as we'll as for protection.

YOUNG MEN CONTROL
Most of The Old Republican
Leaders Have Died Within
Eight Years.

1t was only eight years ago
that Mckinley ran for the presi-
dency the first time, and yet in
this period of only two president
ial administrations the mortality
among the big men of the repub-
lican party has been astonishing,
and with it there has come a
general retirement of the old
party wheelhorses, so that today
an entirely new generation is in
control of the destinies of the re-
public so far as the republican
party is concerned.
Great men drop off just as lit
tie men do, but it does seem as if
they went in waves, because the
most casual memories of the last
eight years will serve to show
that almost every prominent act
or IN the dramatic campaign OF
1896 is now off the stage of active
politics and lameEtably large
number of them hage been re-
moved by death. .
A young, spectacled man who
was clerk in the White house
when Mckinley was first elected
is now chairman Of the republi-
can national committe, and the
present president was only too
glad to get an under secretary
ship at the beginning of the first
Mckinley administration.
This campaign has been run
by young men almost exclusive
ly. Mark Hanna has been sue
ceeded by Cortelyou and Joe
Manley has been almost forgot
ten in the vigor of the admins
tration of Elmer Dover as Sec
retary of the great party organ
izatlon. The same process has
been going on in the various
state committees, in the local
representatives on the national
committe, and to an even great
er extent among the men of ma
tional reputation, who only a
few years ago were as familiar
figures on the streets of Wash
ington as in their own homes in
various parts of the country.
When the preliminary cam
paign opened in the winter and
spring of 1896 Thomas B. Reed,
William B. Allison, and William
Mckinley were the three chief
candidates for the presidency. 1t
soon became apparent that the
principal tight was between Reed
and Mckinley. Both of them
are gone. Allison remains the
dignified and venerated father
of the senate" but his influence
in the councils of the republican
party has largely disappeared,
and be contents himself with being
the trusted adviser of one presi-
dent after another from his point
of avantage at the head Of the
United States senate.
Mark Hanna died at the same
hotel in Washington and under
the same circumstances as Tom
Reed. The illness of both these
men, who in their own persons
represented the two most antag-
onistic elements in the republi-
can politics, was short, sharp
and decisive. Comparatively
few days in each case brought
about an end to their political
and their earthly labors.
Henry G. Payne, who was vice
chairman of the national COM
mittee and who had left his i'm
press on republican politics to a
large extent before 1896, died at
the same hotel. although his i'll
ness was a more lingering one,
and the end was fore
casted through a long period of
i'll health.
