MORE TROUBLE IS BREWING
In Credit Exchange Affairs at Ham

That the so-called Commercial

merchants of South Bend, Michigan
City, Laporte, Plymouth, Niles, Ham

two years is travelling rocky road"

Long Lost Son Found; Insanity Fol-
lows Quarrel

Logansport, Ind, March 13.-Lee
Weaver, who disappeared from his
home in Dunkirk several months ago,
has returned. His hands and feet
were terribly frozen while wandering
in the woods about Warsaw in de-
ranged mental condition.
Weaver is 25 years old. A few days
before he disappeared he quarreled
with a woman to whom he was great
ly attached and brooded over their
misunderstanding. Then he disappear
ed. Months later his parents learned
that a man answering his description
had been found near Warsaw, roam
ing through the woods, singing and
shouting incoherently. When farmers
tried to approach him he ran from
them and was captured only while
asleep in snow drift.
There was nothing on his person to
identify him and he was known as
the wild man of Warsaw when ad-
mission to a hospital was obtained for
him. Weeks later he recovered sufi-
ciently to say he had lived in Dunkirk
and his description was sent here His
father went to Warsaw after him but
was unable, on account of his critical
condition, to bring the young man
home until yesterday. He has fully
recovered mentally, but may lose his
hands and feet.

May Live to be A Hundred and Fifty.

Chicago, March 1O.-Man may live
happily and usefully for $50 years, as
cording to DR.. Lyman B. Sperry, of
Dberlin, o.. who expressed this be-
lief in an address delivered before the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Chicago. after third of a century
of scientific study, such is my conclu-
sion," said DR.. Sperry "The destruc-
tive forces which bring about the
present low average of longevity are
manifold, but believe it is possible
to enjoy good health and activity UP
to century and half by a proper
understanding of the human possibil-
tiles and the exercise of this knowl-
edge"
DR.. Sperry's topic.w was "fhe Science
of Living" his main object being to
point ont the influences which retard
longevity with stress on the theory
that immoralitv has direct bearing
on the physical being.
Climatic conditions. according to
DR.. Sperry have been reduced to stat
istics, proving beyond doubt that both
torrid and frigid atmosphere tend to
shorten existence. All the longevity
worth mentioning. it was claimed, ex-
isted in the temperate zone.
In relation to the destructive force
of evil habits DR. Sperry spoke at
length and his scathing treatment of
drink. tobacco and opium was said to
be derived from personal association
with victims.

DEATH OF HENRY A. PEED.
He was Formerly Plymouth Editor.

Henry A. Peed, formerly of the
South Bend Times, before that of the
Plymouth Democrat, where he was
editor for a short time; later editor
OF the Shoals News, and more recent
ly editor of the Warrensburg, (Mo.) }
Journal-Democrat, is dead at War
rensburg. The deceased went to South
Bend from Plymouth in 1881, buying
out the late Hon. Charles L. Muir
rays South Bend Weekly Herald, and
then changing it TO the Times, which
he conducted as daily and a weekly
until after the election of 1882, when
he and the then Times Printing Com
pany conducting the paper since the
previous September, changed the same
to weekly, which it continued up to
the time of J. Stoll coming to South
Bend in April 1888, to assume the
proprietorship. Peed later became
a government printing office employe
and then a pension examiner under
Cleveland. He later drifted back into
editorial work, his wife leaving him,
however, and she and the daughter
Stella residing at South Bend for
some time. the latter becoming a
teacher in the city schools. Peed was
veteran of the rebellion, was once a
member of the legislature, being a
senator from Martin county before
coming to Plymouth; had a wide In
diana acquaintance; was a man of
rather striking personal appearance
and very genial in his intercourse with
men. AS an editor he failed signally
IN the local field.

Preparing for Vacation of Indiana
Cigarette.

Since the anti-cigarette bill was
passed there has been little change in
the demand for cigarettes, wholesale
dealers say. The restricted demand
from retail dealers who were afraid
to place orders, fearing they might be
caught when the law went into effect
and lose their stock was about off
set by orders from dealers that antici-
pated an unusual demand from Gig
arctic smokers desiring to lay in a
stock for their own use, rather than
begin buying outside the state as soon
as the law become effective. Let
ters have been received by jobbers
over the State stating that the COM
rany chad been informed that the In
diana legislature had passed a law
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes and
cigarette paper" The letter said that
the company would buy all stocks of
cigarettes in the hands of dealers
when the law went into effect: re-
funding the net cost price for all
stock in merchantable condition. The
company says il has been informed
that the law will be effective about
Tune ]. when copies of the printed
law will have been distributed The
order includes all of the cigarettes
manufactured by the American To-
hacco Company. Schnaisi Bros, and
Monopal Tobacco Works.

CULVER WINS DEBATE.
Secures Victory Over Lake Forest
School.

Culver, Ind, Mar. 14,-Culver Mill
tary academy won the interacademic
debate from Lake Forest school Sat-
urday evening, by an unanimous de-
cision of the judges. The question
was stated as follows: Resolved,
That the cities of the United States
should own and operate their own
street railways" Culver having the
affirmatie side. Thejudges were Prof.
c. 0. Davis, principal of the high
school, South Bend, and Samuel Par
ker, counsellor-at-law, and Mr.. Smith
N. Stevens, president of the school
board of Plymouth.
The character of the debate was
excellent throughout Both teams had
evidently made an exhaustive study of
the subject, and the arguments pre-
sented were logical and effective. The
points advocated by the cadets GEN.
ttered around the general historic
trend toward municipal ownership,
while Lake Forest based her argu-
ments chiefly upon the dep1orab1e un-
reliability of public officials, resulting
from the policy of grating, as a con-
slant menace to the cause of efficient
city government All the speakers
cited numerous instances in substanti-
alton of their arguments.

The Prosecuting Attorney.

prosecuting attorneys are about as
badly abused as any. other set of men.
They are elected to Office by the peo-
pie and then the people desert them
and expect them to run down and con-
vict every man who commits crime.
Everybody, except the guilty, wants
public proecutor to be Joe Folk,
but nobody wants to step UP and help
a prosecutor out or give him any
moral support.
People argue that a prosecutor is
elected to run down and prosecute
criminals which is all very true, but
the people forget that prosecutor,
unless he has strong public senti-
ment back of him, is helpless These
same people who clamor for the con-
viction of thieves make all sorts of
excuses from serving on a jury, and
evade in every possible way their duty
to the community, leaving the prose-
cutor to fight it out alone against
overwh Ginning odds.
Joe Folk could never have convict
ed the St. Louis boodlers if he had
not had a strong public sentiment
with him. He had to have brave men
to help him run them down and earn
est men from whom he could absorb
earnestness and pure men from whom
he could draw inspiration After he
determined to make his fight after he
had the enemy on the run as it were,
this sentiment came to him, as it al
ways comes to prosecutors who start
in the game with a good, strong club.

Secretary of agriculture-JamesWii-

Secretary of commerce and labor
Victor H. Metcalf, California.
There is but one change in the pres
ident's cabinet, and il was announced
semi-officially some weeks ago that
it was to be made. Mr.. Wynne ceases
TO be postmaster general and Mr..
Cortelyou succeeds him. Secretary
Wilson, the veteran of the cabinet
who has been at the head OF the agri-
cultural department for eight years
remain there for four years more un-
less he should tire of his work of help
ing American farmer to grow rich.
Secretaries Hay, Hitchcock, and
Wilson were first appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley. All the other mem-
bers of the cabinet-Shaw, Taft, Nor
ton, Metcalf and Cortelyou-were Sc
lected by President Roosevelt. 1t is
said that Secretary Shaw is resolved
70 leave the treasury department next
February, when he will have served
four full years In that case the pres
ident will have to find next year
another capable man for an import
ant Office.
Mr.. Cortelyou was appointed the
first secretary of the department OF
commerce and labor by President
Roosevelt, but resigned in order to
take charge of the Republican presi-
Dental campaign. The president has
a high idea of his ability to fill almost
any position satisfactorily and hence
has given him anothr cabinet office
Mr.. Moody has also filled two. Pres
ident Roosevelt first made him sec
retarv OF the navy and then trans
fe-red him to the attorney general
ship.

Hunters are Excited.

The hunters of this section are
very much excited just now over the
fact that the new duck law will 90
into force just about the time hunting
becomes good. This would not worry
the person who is not on the inside,
but the fact is that before a person
can bag a bird, he must first get his
license. This license must contain
full description of the person who
holds it must tell how he cuts his
hair what kind of a moustache or
whiskers he wears in fact must give a
minute description of himself And
that is not all. He mrst have his
photograph attached to the license
and it must fit the description. If the
picture and the make up of the man
should differ, he would be liable to
arrest and a lot of trouble. And all
this preparing will have to be done
while the ducks are flying overhead.
This is enough to drive a hunter
stark crazy.-Culver Citizen.

Three Days Grace" Custom on Com
mercial Paper Dead.

The time honored custom of three
days grace" on commercial paper is
done away with in Senator Roemler's
bill relating to the maturity of nego-
table instruments, which has been
signed by the governor.
A provision of the bill declares that
all negotiable instruments must be
paid at the time fixed therein. The
bill provides that if the day the in
strument natures chances to be Sun
day or legal holiday the instrument
shall be paid on the next succeeding
day.
instruments falling due on Saturday
are to be paid on the next business
day except in cases where the in
strument is payable on demand. This
at the option of the holder may be
presented for payment before Satur-
day noon in the event the entire
day is not a holiday
A further provision of the bill says
that in cities of more than $4,000 pop
ulation Saturday, after IL o'clock noon
shall be considered half-holiday tor

institutions

The Baby Saloon League.

"Our Standard" the organ of the
state liquor league, is terribly worked
up over the temperance legislation of
the past legislature which it says has
hurled another boulder at the pros
trate saloon keeper" 1t abuses Gov
ernor Hanly and says the Republican
party is short of executive timber.
But the real facts are that Governor
Hanly is displaying executive ability
which has paralyzed the Indiana Lii
quor League.
This organization boldly announced
that it would defeat Governor Hanly,
Lieutenant-G Governor Miller and all
candidates for the legislature and
prosecuting attorneys who were not
indorsed by the league. 1t was an
oath-bound organization and every
member was sworn TO vote for saloon
candidates, regardless of party.
The saloons now realize that they
made great mistake in attempting
to make all other issues, state and
national, subservient to saloon inter
'ests. In doing this they did more to
secure temperance legislation than
could have been accomplished by all
the anti-saloon people combined.
The baby" action of denouncing
Governor Hanly for not standing by
the saloons when every saloon in the
state of Indiana opposed his election
and the people gave him over $4,000
majority is indeed surprising. The sa-
looms will fare a great deal better if
they take their medicine without kick
ing and abolish the saloon league now
and forever There will never be
time when the people of Indiana will
place favorable saloon legislation
above all other issues.
The saloons believed that with the
aid of the prohibition party, organized
TO draw votes away from all temper
ance candidates and throw them away
on crank candidates. thew would be
able to secure any kind of saloon leg
islation thev wanted; but they have
realized their mistake

Compared as Fighters.

That the Japanese have outfought
the Russians in the war IN the East
is fact that can not be denied. The
Japanese rank and file, inspired by
patriotism and conviction that only
war could end the threat of foreign
encroachment, have been terribly in
earnest. Radically, they have little
fear of death and prefer it to surren-
der. While they are physically much
smaller than the Russians, they are
healthy, hardy and temperate. In
point of endurance and simple re-
quirements they are unsurpassed But
it is necessary to remember that the
Russians are cumbrous in movement
and trained merely to be fighting ma
chimes. The war in the East had no
element of patriotism for them. With
stolid courage, they obeyed their gen.
erals and have made many brave as
saults, as we'll as stubborn retreats,
but their heart was not in the work
beyond the natural pride in striving
for victory.
The Russian policy has been too
defensive to prevail in such a war. At
Port Arthur their powerful feet final
ly went to the bottom without having
fought a general battle. That rec
ord is blot amounting almost to dis
grace. Immensely strong fortihca-
tions were built south of Mookden,
but the Japanese general marched
around them on both fanks and fore
ed a series of battles in the open
country, the result of which was that
the massive works and their heavy
guns had to be abandoned. The Jap
anese commander has been the master
of his antagonist in strategy and tao
tics, as well as the possessor of much
the better army of the two. Russia s
line of supplies. over a single-track
railway 5000 miles long, made defeat
almost certain in any case, unless
Japan had become financially exhaust
ed. The Russian defeat, in view OF
the Japanese earnestness and efficien-
cy, may be called foregone concIu-
sion.

This Man Failed.

A writer in Success gives the fol-
lowing reasons why a mans life may
be a failure, even though he ac-
cumulate great wealth:
He stopped growing.
He stuffed his pocketbook, but
starved his brain.
He never learned to take the drudg-
cry out of his work.
He regarded his business as a
means of making a living instead of
life.
He lost his early friends by neglect
and had no time to cultivate new
ones.
He made life a grind out of which
he got neither pleasure, profit nor
instruction.
Society bored him, children bored
him, music and the drum were un-
known languages to him.
He never learned to enjoy himself
as he went along, but was always
postponing his happiness.
When he retired from business he
found that, in his struggle to get the
means for enjoyment he had muir
dered his capacity to enjoy,
He knew nothing about what was
going on in the world outside of his
own narrow CIRCLE; another state was
like foreign country to him.
He read only marked reports in the
newspapers. He never read articles
in magazines. and books were an un-
known quantity to him.
The idea of helping others or of
owing society, his city or his nation
any duty outside of caring for his
own interests, never occurred to him

Circuit Court.

Circuit court convened Monday, but
most of the time since then has been
taken up in hearing motions and set
ting cases for trial.
The new law does not lengthen or
shorten the terms of court in this ju-

order of the terms. Hereafter the
Marshall circuit court will convene in
September and will be followed by the
court at Rochester and the same or

year. This will close the spring term
