POLITICS IN 1879 DISTRICT.

The democrats of this district
will meet in South Bend Thurs.
day, Sept. 1, to nominate a can
didate for congress. Very little
interest is manifested by demo
Gratis of Marshall county but
their choice is B. F. Shively.
They believe he would stand a
better show in contest with A.
L. Brick than any one else. 1t
is given out on what appears to
be good authority. however, that
MIR. Shively is not candidate
and will not accept the nomina-
ton. 1t is stated that he has his
eye on bigger game, He believ-
es that in case Judge Parker is
elected he might secure good
appointive office, a seat in the
cabinet, even being among the
possibilities aspired to.
Most of the candidates men
toned are from St. Joseph coun-
ty. J. B. Stoll's name appears
in the list but he declares posi-
lively that he would not accept
any political office.
Among others whose names
are being considered are Nelson
j. Riley and Frank Dunnahoo of
South Bend and Editor O'Neil of
the Mishawaka Democrat,
Francis E. Herring. also of South
Bend. defeated nominee of the
party for the office, says nothing
when questioned as to his candi-
dacy. His silence is believed to
indicate that he would accept.
The Fogarty crowd jumped on
to Herring with both feet in the
state convention. stamped him
kicked him and rolled him over,
and stamped and kicked him
again. Now they are trying to
persuade him to take the nomi-
nation for congress so that they
can trade him for votes for Fo-
garty and forever end his politi-
Cal career.
Attorney Adam E. Wise of Ply
mouth is mentioned, but says he
is not a candidate. He is too
''busy,' with his own affairs to
get into it. Judge Beeman of
Starke county won't have it, al
though his name has been men,
toned. He says: 81 think a
great deal of Congressman Brick.
[ regard him as a very strong
candidate aud know that he per-
sonally makes friends, but even
if had a chance to defeat him l
would not accept nomination
fd congress, which indicates
that Judge Beeman, like many
other democrats expects to sup
port Mr.. Brick. Other names
mentioned are B. F. Deahl,
of Goshen, and Mr.. Bowser of

SOAP TREE IN ALGERIA.
Product Of Plant to Be Utilized by
Manufacturers-Is Superior
to Commercial Brand.

Frank w. Mahin, the United States
consul at Nottingham, England, sends
a copy of the LEICESTER Hosiery Trade
Journal, which contains an account of
an enterprise in Algeria to manufac-
ture q natural soap on a large scale
from a tree known as sapindas utilis.
This plant, which has long been
known in Japan, China and India,
bears fruit about the size of horse
brown. The inner part is of a dark
chestnut, smooth and round. The color
varies from a yellowish green to
color and has an oil kernal. The tree
bears fruit in its sixth year and yields
from S. to 220 pounds of fruit, which
can easily be harvested in the fall
/ BY using water Of alcohol the sapon-
aceous ingredient of the fruit is ex-
tracted. The cost Of production is said
to be small and the soap, on account of
possessing no alkaline qualities, is
claimed to be superior to the ordinary
soap of commerce.

CIVILIZED FEAR DEATH MOST
Highest Types Cherish fife WI
Low Races Do Not Rsee e6s~ ]
It as Precious.

It is strange fact, remarks ehe, II
dianapolis News, that the fear 1,I
dread Of death are greatest among III
most highly civilized peoples. Ye,|
strange as 1t seems at first blush. q
may be that this fear is both q product
and an evidence Of high civilizatid&
For life is precious thing. and a.
such it should be cherished. When the
hold on life is weak we are likely I'd
see decay OF virtue-at least as wa
understand virtue. Usually the med
who die by their own hand represent
a very low type. And those races that
regard suicide as virtue do not stand
high in the scale of civilization. With
the weakening of the desire to livd
usually comes loosening OF all sociaa
ties. Our religion teaches that: while
We should not dread death. we should
nevertheless look on life as the gift d
God, as something which we hold t4
trust. and which We should not, tharei
fore, throw away. There is here q
sort Of conflict. Within limits It Ia d
mans duty to cling to life. ST. Paul
went through this conflict. He writes;
For / am in strait betwixt two(
having desire to depart, and be WITH
Christ; which is far better; neverthe,;
less to abide in the flesh is more need
full for You.

Death Of Adrian Schaefer.

Friday morning, July %, shortly
after six o'clock, occurred the death
CT Adrian Schaefer who passed away
at the home of his parents east Of
town, after an illness of several
months from diabetes.
Adrian Schaefer, third son of An
drew and Phoebe Schaefer, was born
in New Oregon township, August 16,
1879, and was therefore nearly 25 years
Of age at the time of his death. He
has passed his entire life with his
parents in this vicinity. He has al
ways been hard working, honest and
moral young man who was always
held In respect and esteem by a large
circle Of friends and acquaintances,
the pride of his parents and dearly
beloved by brothers and sisters, to all
Of whom the grief of final parting was
most intense. The immediate rela-
tives left to mourn are the father and
mother, three brothers, A. H., Charles
and Herbert, two sisters, Elzada and
Ruth, and an adopted brother and
sister, all whom were with him before
his death.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at the Baptist church, Revs.
Gammons and Marshall officiating.
The services at the church were very
touching, appropriate music being
sung by the choir of tkat church, and
the prayer by Rev. Gammons and the
address by Rev. Marshall were both
full of hope and comfort to the sorrow
ing ones.
The four brothers of the deceased,
and two cousins, John Schafer, aud
Will Marple acted as pail bearers. The
floral tributes were profuse and un-
usually handsome, silent and beauti-
full emblems of the universal esteem
in which he was held.
After the services at the church the
Woodmen of the World, of which the
deceased was an honored member,
took charge and the loved form of
their departed Sovereign was placed
at rest in the New Oregon cemetery
with the beautiful and impressive
ceremonies of the order which he loved

| thising friends who followed the loved
form to its last resting place was very

time there would be more because the
cesspools being put down will con

that prevents the city council taking
the matter up is the lack of the need.
ed funds for its cost. All the proper

alone is sufficient cause for the city

are available.
