Was the Youngest Colonel.

1t is said that John II. Lawrence, a
capitalist who died at Carthage, Mo,
last week, was the youngest colonel in
the Union army in the civil war.
"At the outbreak of the war;" the
Carthage Press says, "he enlisted at a
recruiting station at his home in Mad
ison, Ind, where he was born, Nov.
IA. 1S43. When the companies were
formed he was elected noncommis-
stoned officer in company with the
Thirteenth Indiana Veteran Volun-
teers. AS the war progressed he was
rapidly promoted, each time for brav-
cry, and long before the close of the
struggle he was colonel of his regi-
ment, and not vet more than twenty
one years Of age. He enlisted at the
age of eighteen years. Twice during
the war he was brevetted by congress
for bravery, once for services at Fort
Fisher and again at Petersburg, %

X. P. Anniversary and Banquet.

Hyperion Lodge No. lit celebrated
its twentieth anniversary Friday even
ing. A class Of seventeen received the
page work, which was exemplified by
the Plymouth team under the direc-
tiOn of Chancellor Wilson of Elkhart.
Representatives from the lodges of all
surrounding towns were present and
a very fine banquet was given at AL
bert'S hall after the close of the work.
Speeches were mace bv Chancellor
Wilson and other visiting members
and by prominent members of the
Plymouth lodge which has some of the
best speakers in Indiana.
The lodge in this city numbers 125
members and owns one of the finest
castle halls in the state, Only five of
the surviving charter members of
twenty years ago, now reside in this
city. They are Charles Kellison, L..
M. Lauer, o. G. Soice, Fred Fl. Kuhn

The banquet and celebration of Friday
evening will be long remembered by
all present as one Of the enjoyable oc-
caSiOnS of their lives.

Fair ApportIonments.

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the legislative apportionment case,
upholding the decision of the Ripley
County Court that the act of 1903 was
unconstitutional and void, was not
a surprise, but was fully expected
by all who have been informed as to
the facts and the law. The ruling
might have been foretold by those
who were responsible for the enact
ment re- districting the State for the
election of state senators and repre-
sentatives, since the unfairnesS VI GER
tain parts of the new apportionment
was too plain for dispute. and Indiana
courts have Invariably refused to sus
tain such proceedings. PRESIDENTS to
prove this are numerous, and the last
legislature had no reason to assume
that these presidents would be disre-
garded when the test of the new law
was made. In time, perhaps, Indiana
legislative majoritiss, of whatever
party, will learn that it is not worth
their while to seizure undue political
advantage in this way, and that the
better policy ls fairness and justice to
al concerned. -Indianapolis Journal.

Wheat Acreage Declines.

Returns to the chief of the bureau
OF statistics of the department Of ag-
riculture, made up to May 1, show the
area under winter wheat IN cultiva-
ton on that date to have been about
27,OS3, 500 acres.
This is 1882, 700 acres, or 1874 per
cent, less than the area SOwn last fall
and 5.427, 700 acres, or 1871 per cent,
less than the area of winter wheat
harvested last year.
OF this abandonment Indiana re-
ports 904, 200 acres, Kansas $4,000,
Ohio 475,000, California (mainly liz
the usual cutting of haO 39l, 900, Ok

100, 900 and 200, 900 acres.
1t is noteworthy fact that the
whole Of the 81 states having more or
less winter wheat under cultivation
report some abandonment OF acreage.
For the 27,083,50 acres remaining
under cultivation the average condi-
tion on May was 1876, which is iden-
tical with that reported on April for
the entire acreage sown.

In Africa Fifty Years AGO.

About fifty years ago Livingstone
started on his travels of discovery in
darker Africa. About thirty years
ago Stanley started on search to find
Livingstone, and be succeeded, but
Livingstone did not live to reach Eng
land. What change has come about
since the work Of these intrepid men.
Before Livingstone went on his
journeys Africa was a blank. except
for few scattered settlements on the
coast, east and west and at the south.
Now the great nations Of the world
have their colonies there and are fast
opening every foot of it to civilizing
influences. And it is worth while to
remember that David Livingstone was
a missionary as we'll as fearless ex-
plorer. He depended upon the olive
branch of peace more than upon guns.

Praise For Mr.. Beverid &c.

Although Mr.. Beverage came to
the senate young man, compared
with the average age Of members Of
that body, and without experience in
legislation, he has, by close applica-
tion and diligent attention to duty,
developed into very useful senator
in the best sense Of the term. He is
not so much of a politician as to in
terfere with the higher activities of
the statesman, but presents that fe-
fictitious blending Of the two characters
which is essential to national useful
ness. He is, in a word, a working
senator. and his career has been dis
tinctively creditable to him and to bis
state. The tribute paid him (by the
Indiana republican convention) is
well deserved. IL discloses a just APP
probation Of ability and good service,
and is at the same time a fine exhibit
tion OF common sense. Washington

"By Any Other Name"

1t is understood that the committee
of fifteen appointed by the General
Convention Of the Episcopal chnrch
three years ago to consider a change
in the church S official title has decl-
oed to report adversely to the next
convention in Boston this autumn.
The committee consists of both cleri-
cal and lay delegates, and while these
are Of opinion that a change might be
desirable, they have been unable to
decide on new name.
1t is strange that more attention
has not been given to the one name
which is historically logical. That is
1.-The Anglican Church in America. {"
The church is merely an offSho0t Of
the Church of England; its doctrines.
ritual and government are exactly the
same. This name tells the story of
It's origin; it is one that cannot posi-
bly, offend the sensibilities of either
high or low churchmen, and it is not
cumbersome. Popularity it would be
called the Anglican Church. That is
what itreally is. and such a name
would be far better than the present
contradictory title. But, If the re-
port is correct, the committee will
recommend no change at the present
time.-IndIanapolis Journal.

The Indiana Democratic Machine.

The democratic machine was in ex-
cellent working order at the state con-
ventlon and Thomas Taggart remains
the thrice crowned king of the party
in this state.
1t was very evident that there is
much Hearst sentiment in Indiana
and numbered among the men who
fought for Hearst were many demo-
Gratis who have held positions of prom
inence and have been for years the
best workers the party had. Their
treatment was unjust and inexcusable.
They were entitled to hearing. AS
democrats, they had a right to fair
treatment in a democratic state con-
yentiOn.
Their years of party service and
their unquestioned party strength
should have given them a voice in the
party councils. But they were de.
MED common parliamentary courtesy.
They were hooted and jeered and JOS
tied and throttled. They were locked
out of the caucuseS and bulldozed out
of their rights on the floor Of the con-
vention. Their defeat was made GER
tain by the application Of every gag
rule and machine method known to
the political under world. And as a
result Indiana will cast a solid vote
for d. B. Hlll'S candidate at the st.
Louis convention, against the wishes
and convictions Of a large portion of
the democratic party in the State.

The discussion of possible rem edieS
for the divorce evil by speakers before
the National congress of Mothers in
this city on Thursday calls public at
tention to the increase In number of
divorces granted in many states dur
ing the last two or three decades.
The statistics tell story of marital
disruption that seems almost incred-
ible. AS an instance of the growth
of divorces one of the speakers cited
he example of Ohio, where one d.
vorce in every twenty-five marriages
was the ratio in 1870 and one divorce
in eight marriages the ratio in 1902.
Other states might have been cited,
however, as illustrative of the ten
dency to seek relief from marital re-
sponsibilities and incompatibilities in
the courts. In 1867 Indiana had 1895
divorces, the largest number for that
year In any state. In 1900 the mum.
Der had increased to 1850, or one to
every 81 marriages of the year. Mich.
igan divorces increased from 449 in
1857 to 1889 IN 1885 and .2,4l8 10
1900. The ratio in that state is now
one divorce to eleven marriages. IL
linois granted 1,O71 divorces in 1867
and 2,606 in 1885. Connecticut and
Vermont appear to be the only states
In which the divorce evil has been
checked. The former state had fewer
divorces in 1900 than in 1867. Changes
in the statutes and in the administra-
tion of the various county courts
largely account for improved condi-
lions in these states.
In the United States during the
twenty years from 1867 to 1885 there
were 32s.716 divorces granted. repre-
senting an increase Of 157 per cent,
while the population increased little
more than go per cent. In contrast
to this picture it is interesting to con-
template the divorce statistics of Can
ada. In the latter country sixty-nIne
divorces were granted in the thirty
four years between 1867 and 1901

Indiana a Great Whisky State.

1t may surprise many people to

very few that use as much as 1000
bushels of grain a day. At Terre

The Great Fair.

A gentleman who has sized up the
situation at st. Louis reports that in
the matter of space occupied for
grounds and the acreage covered by
buildings, the Worlds Fair of 1904
presents figures so much larger than
those of any preceding exposition Of
the kind as to be almost startling.
The grounds themselves are two miles
in length by mile and quarter In
width. Six miles of fence are required
to surround them. The area of the
Fair grounds is double that of the
Chicago Worlds Fair.
OF the exhibition buildings, fifteen
occupy the space of from six to ten
average city blocks each. In the
building devoted to transportation
exhibits, there are four miles of tracks
for the display of traction apparatus.

Important Decision.

In decision handed down by the
supreme court it was held that when
a county assessor adds promissory
notes to his assessment list as ''omit-
ted property" the taxpayer must be
allowed the same credit Oh account of
his debts that he would have been en-
titled to if the township assessor had
listed the notes.
Judge Monks said that while the
legislature probably had power to
make a law providing that any person
failing to list his credits when the
township assessor called Should forfeit
any right to deduction for indebted
ness, but, he said, such a law has not
been passed.

Business And Politics.

The Bankers Magazine says that
there is no more reason why 1904
should be bad year for business be-
cause a President is to be elected than
there is because it is leap year. And
then, it offers the following practical
observations: 1.-THE political excite.
ment of the year, in most cases, takes
the place OF other relaxation. In a
presidential year a great deal of mon
ey is spent, and the free circulation Of
money has never been considered as
bad business. A great many people
believe that our national campaigns
are political Safety-valves, InaSmuch
as they give the people an opportunity
to express themselves with freedom
on all questions involved in the contest.
There would be fewer revolutions il
other people took the same rational
view held by the Americans.

LIVELY IN THIRTEENTH DISTRICT.
Hearst Men Bolt and Hold a Separate
Convention.

The caucus of the Thirteetth dis
trict at Indianapolis wai one of the
livelist OF the night. 1t opened with
caucuses of the several counties and
in all the larger ones where the Par
ker men were in majority they pro-
ceeded to endorse the unit rule and
thus make their counties practically
solid. This step created much dis
senslon and it was o'clock before the
convention was ready to be organized
oy the election of chairman.
Benjamin F. Shlvely Of South Bend
was put forward by the Parker men
and E. G. Martindale of Plymouth was
nominated as the Hearst representa-
tive. Under the call of counties pro
tests were made by the Hearst follow
ers wherever attempts were made to
vote as unit and this further delayed
the proceedings. When the vote had
finally been recorded Shively was
found to have received 81 and Martin
dale 40. Twenty-one of these votes
had been protested which, taken from
Shively and added to Martindale,
would have given each total of 81,
making the contest tie.
The chairman. however, ruled in
favor of Shively and thirty or forty
delegates Immediately adjourned to
another part Of the room, led by
Charles Kelllson, and proceeded to or
ganize a separate convention.
While the Parker slate was being
chosen in the middle OF the room the
Hearst slate was being voted for in a
corner and many Of the delegates were
SO confused in their bearings that they
voted for both without apparently
distinguishing between them.
The meeting was characterized by a
great deal of confusion, and no little
bitterness was manifested by the del
egates in personal alterations, and
at times fistic encounters were pre-
vented only by the interference of the
more conservative In the meeting.
