THE Il OF FEAh.
fright Was the Cause of the Deat@
of Frederick 1. of Prussia.

OF FFeuGF1Ck Il OL fTuSBlHs
There are several we'll authenticated
cases where fright was the cause Of
death. An English surgeon tells of a
drummer in India across whose legs a
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that a cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves, and he died.
Frederick I. Of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane, and n
day she escaped from her keeper and,
dabbling her clothes with blood, rushed
upon her husband while he was doing
in his chair. King Frederick imagined
her to be the white lady whose ghost
was believed to invariably appear
whenever the death of a member of
the royal family was to occur, and he
was thrown into a fever and died in
six weeks.
But perhaps the most remarkable
death from fear was that of the Dutch
painter Pentman, who lived in the sew
enteenth century. One day he went in
to a room full of anatomical subjects
to sketch some skulls and bones for a
picture he intended to paint. The
weather was very sultry, and while
sketching he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him
and the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing together. In a fit of
horror he threw himself out of the
window. Though he sustained no seri-
Gus injury and was informed that a
slight earthquake had caused the COM
motion among the ghostly surround
ings, he died of nervous tremor.

Ohio Synod Adiourns.

The eighty first annual session
of the Ohio Synod of the reform
ed church came to close at
Bluffton by the delegates singing
"Blest be the tie that Binds" and
the $50 visitors left for their
homes in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Michigan.
At the session Monday night it
was decided to hold the next
meeting of the synod at Tiffin,
o., some time in October, the ex
act date now being set for fear it
would conflict with those of other
synods. The synod voted in fav-
or of removing Heidelberg Col
lege from its present location at
Tiffin, o., to some place farther
west, possibly Indianapolis or
Chicago. for the reason that the
combination of the several edu-
cational institutions of the church
would be profitable, and for the
further reason that there is a
need of a denominational institu-
tion in the West.

Voters Should Think.

When the voter goes to the
polls he is often confronted by
complex problems, if he is a con-
scientious man. Ii not the i'm
portance. the real significance of
his right of franchise, does not
appeal to him. He votes the re-
publican ticket or the democrat
ic ticket because his father. or
brother or some particular friend
votes it. He never thinks. He
never knows whether the man he
Is voting to place in an impor-
tant office is fit or unfit for the
duties. The man may be a ras
cal. but he votes for him just the
same. No man should vote this
way. 1t is the duty of every
man to know that the one for
whom he votes is honest and
competent. These are the quail
ifications a man must have to
successfully conduct the affairs
of a public or private business
and the voter should know that
the candidate possesses them be-
fore he votes for him. South

A bloody battle is now raging about
six miles north Of Yental railroad STA
tion. The Japanese on Sunday fell
back along the whole front and the
Russian advance guards crossed the
Schili river. about half way between
Mukden and Liao- Yang. and came
within three miles of Yentai.
Monday the Japanese received
strong reinforcements of Infantry and
ARTILLERY and not only held their posi-
tions, but even assumed the offensive.
The fighting lasted the entire day
and night. The japanese directed
their artillery fire with great skill and
searched the Russian positions so
fiercely that the Russians fell back
north of the Schili river, which crosses
the railroad seven miles from Yental.
The Russians Tuesday morning re-
sumed their advance, once more Cross
ing the Schili river. and engaged the
japanese two miles south of it.
A terrific artillery engagement is
progressing along the entire front.
The result of the battle is still unde-
cided.

Democratic Testimony.

The South Bend Times, edited
by that stalwart Hill-Bryan-Til-
den democrat, John B. Stoll,
says: The wheat crop has been
harvested; corn will soon be
husked; cotton will presently be
be picked; new plows are turn
ing new fIrrows; mills and
mines are grinding away, and
traffic is laundering on. Rail
roads are putting through new
lines and cutting the grades and
curves out of the old ones. They
are building bigger cars and
stronger locomotives. We are
passing through a presidential
campaign without injury to busi-
ness. The people are calmly
thinking of what they shall do on
election day, but they utterly
refuse 70 become excited or
alarmed. There is no exciting
agitation of impracticable or Wis
iOnary schemes to veX and
frighten people. Legitimate
business is in healthy condition,
and any one willing or able to
work can make a living.

Debs Flags Henry 6. Davis.

Eugene ". Debs, socialist candidate
for president, says of the democratic
candidate for vice-president:
"Organized labor has no one more
uncompromising enemy than Henry
G. Davis, who charges union labor
with being criminal conspiracy and
does not permit his employees to be-
loEg to a trade union. When the
United Mine Workers were conduct
ing a strike in West Virginia l went
there at the request of and with
United Mine Workers officials.

Horse Killed on Railroad.

e. w. Welch, who resides on the
Slmons farm east of the city, was
putting up sale bills west of town on
Monday evening when the rain came,
and clap of thunder frightened his
horse just as he was getting into his
buggy. causing the horse to jump and
run. throwing Mr.. Welch out.
The horse ran to the railroad cross
ing, near the o. M. tower, and turn
ing, ran down the track. where it met
the fast passenger train going west.
The buggy was smashed and the horse
so badly hurt that it died. Mr..
Welch thus lost his horse, buggy and
sale bills. but was not much hurt.
He THINKS he could have controlled
the horse If be bad not been thrown
out.

Fish Skins as Clothing.

The United States fish COM
mission has recently been giving
considerable attention to utilizing
the skins of water animals for
clothing. 1t has already proved
that several kinds of fish skins
make excellent leather for some
purposes. Salmon hide is found
not only serviceable for boots.
but among the Esquimaux it has
been used for generations in max
ing waterproof clothes. The
people of the far north also use
Goldfish skins for jackets. The
skins which the fish commission
people have found practicable
and durable are whale skins and
seal leather, which dye in beau
tiful colors.

CorteIyou Claims 2SI.

1t may be stated on the autho-
rity of those who are in a posi-
tion to know that Chairman
Cortelyou is confident that Pres
ldent Roosevelt will be elected
by almost, if not exactly, the
same electoral vote that was
cast for Mckinley and Roosevelt
four years ago. The republican
national committee, owing to the
thorough organization perfected,
is better informed than Judge
Parker as to what the democrat
ic campaign managers are doing.
The entire work of the democrat
ic national committee is centered
in the states of Wisconsin, West
Virginia, Maryland. Delaware,
New Jersey, New York and Con-
necticnt. The reports received
by Chairman Cortelyou indicate
that all the states named may be
classed as safely republican. with
the possible exception of Mary
land and Delaware. At the be-
ginning of the campaign the re.
publicans did not count on car
rying Maryland, but democratic
division in Baltimore has devel-
oped and Chairman Cortelyou
now classes the state for Roose-
velt.

Social Fads OF Rich.

The extreme folly of rich east
erners who devote their whole
time to society and social fads is
sometimes incomprehensible and
sometimes idiotic. The dog
party, for which the social gen.
ius, Harry Lehr, is given all
credit, comes under the idiotlc
class. Mrs. Lehr owns a dog
which is named Mighty Atom.
Invitations were sent out by
Mighty Atom to seven other So
ciety dogs to be his guests at
dinner in honor of his third birth
day. OF course the dog did not
send out the invitations but bis
master did. The dogs came and
were seated at a table.
The Lehr home was appropri-
ately decorated and five buffers
waited on the table-that is, the
dogs. The first course was veal
outlets; then came Frankfurters
which it is said the guests de.
voured with gusto after being as
sured that morsels were not flesh
Of their flesh. Then came sal
ads, ice cream and chocolates.
At the conclusion of the refresh
ments, it was important to pro-
vide some form of amusement,
and here again the genius OF
Lehr was equal to the occasion.
He procured number of cats
and turned them loose in the
beautiful drawing room. The
dogs threw off all stiffness and
formality and the JOY which is af-
forded the average canine in
chasing down a cat was soon
possessed by each of Mighty
Atoms guests as they pursued
the scampering cats under sofas
and over furniture until their
fond and loving mistresses fear
ing they might over-exert them
selves, ended the royal sport.
Carriages were then called and
the dogs were conveyed to their
respective homes. The enter
tainment was pronounced one OF
the seasons greatest successes.
So you people who are lament
ing the fact that you are not
rich should cease lamenting and
thank God that you are not SO
hard pressed for amusement and
for a way to kill time as are the
rich society people of Newport,
who for lack of anything better
give monkey and dog parties Tor
their own amusement.-COlum.

A. G. Rankin, of Chicago, the
eloquent laboring man who re
Gently spoke in this city in the
interests of the republican cause,
aroused considerable enthusiasm
at Chicago meeting the other
day in replying to the savage at.
tacks of Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, upon the repub-
lican policies. Mr.. Rankin charg-
ed the ancestors of Tillman with
the responsibility of bringing
the negro to this country and
then said it was the bounden duty
of Americans to take care of the
negro and make him as good a
citizen as possible. The negro
is not like the Chinaman who
comes TO this country TO destroy
labor conditions, but is trying to
make an honest living The de.
velopment of Booker T. Wash
ington from a poor and ignorant
boy to one of the foremost edu-
Gators and leading men of the ma
tion was enough to show what
the black man was capable of to
prove the untruthfulness of the
Tillman-argument that the negro
was good for nothing but to be
inhumanly slaughtered like the
beast.

Vote For Roosevelt.

The independent voter, who cares
little for party names and party creeds.
whose first thought is good government
what is he to do this year? We are
inclined to think that he will let we'll
enough alone; or to put it in another
way, that he will rather bear those
ills we have than fly to others that
we know not Of; and In this view we
think he will be wise. 1t is not SIM
ply a choice between Roosevelt and
Fairbanks on one hand and Parker
and Davis on the other. But it is
one ticket or the other plus the in
fluenceS and the men behind that
ticket. Highly as we respect Mr.. Par
ker, though it must be admitted that
the country really knows little about
him, we can mol ignore the fact that
his nomination was engineered by
Hill, Belmont, Sheehan and McCar-
rem, men whose political methods and
ideals we abominate, and that these
men, together with German and Tag
CART, are now the men in control of
his campaign. Who can doubt that
these men would be among Parker IS
influential advisers should he be elect
ed?
We have no hesitation in saying
that we prefer Roosevelt, with such
men as Fairbanks, Hay, Taft and Can
non for his his lieutenants. We have
criticised many of Roosevelt's acts.
We have no doubt we shall criti-
else others In the future. But we
regard an election as a practical ques-
tion. Which of the two men, taking
all things into considerations their
past achievements, their known char
acteristics, the forces and influences
supporting them-is the more likely
to give the country good administra-
tion? To us, it seems clear that Roose-
velt is the independent man.-In.

The Democratic Wolf.

When the gaunt wolf skunk up
to the farmers door and asked
to be penned up with the sheep
he failed to hide the bloodstains
on his jaw. AS soon as this pi-
rate of the woods opened his
mouth the farmer saw0where his
lost lamb had disappeared. The
audacious and shameless beast,
feeling that an explanation was
due, admitted that he would eat
the sheep in the pen if he got a
chance, but he added: ''You
know you will tie me witha chain,
and therefore I will be harmless. %
But the farmer sensibly decided
that a wolf outside of his sheep
fold was a much safer proposition
than a ravenous animal inside
and liable to break loose, and he
drove off the monster.
The democratic party has al
ways been the foe of the pro
tective tariff. 1t his aimed not
to reform schedules as change
in the times may require, but has
rather believed in killing all pro-
lection. Judge Parker now asks
the people to elect him president
of the United States. Like the
unprincipled wolf. he knows that
an apology is necessary. so he
says: "Yes l would smash the
tariff it you give me chance,
bnt you know the republican
senate will tie my hands, so l can
do no harm after ALL"
Is the wolf with the blood
stains of his last victim still in
his mouth any more audacious or
impudent than the candidate who
who appeals for votes while at
that same time saying the only
reason he would not strike down
all protective tariffs is because
the republicans would not let
him do so? AS the sheep are far
safer with the wolf outside than
inside, even if tied, so Judge
Parker is a safer man outside
the white house than inside, even
with a republican senate against
him.-Philadelphi Press.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-10-13

A true conception of the prerogative
and duty of American citizenship is
exhibited in this observation by an
intelligent contemporary. "If every
man does his duty on election day he
will cast ballot for what he believes
IN his heart will be the best for his
country, for his family, for himself.
Let nothing that you can control pre-
vent you from casting your ballot on
election day. The good citizen is the
man who votes, not he who stays at
home. II you believe a principle
ought to prevail, vote for it. Don't
allow your right of independent clti-
zenship to be taken away from you by
any person or party. You may lose
at the polls, but you have done your
best if you are honest. If you are
not honest in your ballot you have
wronged your neighbor and proven
yourself unworthy OF the trust I'M
posed in you by those who won the
liberties you now enjoy"
In this country every man is re-
sponsible for good government and If
be does not vote he assists bad gov
ernment by failing to do his duty.
The man who thinks he is too good to
vote is almost as bad as the man who
votes for bad men because he does not
want good government.
