The sensational announcement came

Famous Ditch Case is Out.

Goshen, nd, June 2s-By a ruling
of Judge Dodge in the circuit court
here yesterday afternoon, the ditch
petition of Jacob J. Kline etal, of St.
Joseph county, and venued here from
South Bend for trial, is dismissed
and over thirty-two miles of drainage
in St. Joseph and Marshall counties,
started in 1908, must lie dormant un-
til the Indiana supreme court passes
on the question involved in the case.
The motion to dismiss was filed by
Stuart MlKibbin, of South Bend, and
Elias D. Salisbury, of Goshen, Ind,
counsel for the demonstrators. Guy
& Pattee, of South Bend, and James
S. Dodge, Jr, of Elkhart, Ind, law
yers for the petitioners, argued for
several hours, but the court held the
last legislature had repealed the ditch
construction laws and that the Kline
ditch had never been ordered, which
threw out al of the proceedings,
Judgment against the petitioners for
costs was also given The petition
ers will appeal
Judge Dodge stated he hoped the
Indiana supreme court would reverse
the case, for the action on the part
of the legislature he regarded as vic
ious and OF tremendous expense to
taxpayers The petitioners emph,-
sized fact that their thirty-two miles
of ditch and tributaries did not drain
any clear water lakes, but the court
held it came under the scope of the
repeal anyway. There were about III
ty witnesses here to testify in the
matter

PRESIDENTS DIED ON 4TH.
Notable American Statesmen
Breathed Their Last That
Day.

Three presidents of the United
States died on the Fourth of TuIy,
two on its 50th anniversary. One
was Thomas Jefferson, who SO
years before had signed the Dec
laration of independence, and
John Adams, who at the same
time, had, after three DAYS de-
bate, secured the adoption of the
declaration.
1t might be taken for granted
that these two representative
men were warm personal friends,
even if history were silent upon
the subject, which it is not.
When Jefferson was dying on
that day which he had so signally
helped to honor, his friend was
also breathing his last. Adams
did not know of Jefferson's i'll
ness and his last words were:
Thomas Jefferson still survives;
as if there was consolation in the
thought. But his friend had al
ready passed from earth.
President Monroe, whose FAM
Gus doctrine" has kept his men,
ory green, died July +, 1881. Of
him Jefferson said: "If his soul
were turned inside out, not spot
could be found on it" That
Monroe, like his predecessor,
should pass away on the anniver-
sary of the independence of the
country he served so faithfully is
a touching coincidence.
The first republican vice-pres-
ident of the United States, Han
nibal Hamlin, closed his long ca
reer July 4, 1891.

Peach Crop Promises to Be a
Large One.

From present indications it is
safe to predict that the peach
crop this year will be a very
large one. Farmers say that ev-
cry peach tree is loaded and un-
less some unforeseen blight or
pest strikes the fruit we shall
have plenty of peaches in this To-
cality for home consumption. In
the country north as far UP as
the state line, peach trees are
loaded so heavily that it is nec-
essary in many cases to pick
peaches off the tree to keep them
from breaking down.

New Checking System.

Several innovations are to be
introduced in the baggage regula-
tions of the railroads throughout
the United States if the plans OF
the American Association of gen.
eral baggage agents, which con-
vened at Cleveland, are adopted.
One of them provides for meth
cd of checking baggage from the
passengers residence az the start
ing point to the destination at the
terminal point. Thus a passenger
could check a trunk at his resi-
dence in one city to a hotel in
another city.

OBITUARY.

One of the saddest deaths this
paper has ever had to chronicle
is that of Miss May Disher, eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Owen Disher, who died at the
home of her parents on Water
street shortly after midnight Fri
day morning, June 80, 1905, aged
% years, s months and IL days.
Deceased was born in Bourbon
township, but carrie with her par
ents to this city almost seventeen
years ago, grew to womanhood
here, was educated in the Ply
mouth schools, and resided here
until her death. Hers was
bright, vivacious temperament, her
cheerful disposition and thought
full consideration for others were
always an inspiration and she
made friends of all who knew her.
She was never very strong, but
was always energetic. She was
for over four years compositor
in the Tribune Office, was always
faithful, always willing to help
out in any emergency requiring
extra work, and was in every res
pect lady who could be depend
ed upon to do her duty.
Over four months previous to
her death she was stricken with
paralysis and was not again able
to walk; but weeks and months
of suffering brought out the mob
lest traits of her character. Pat
ience and fortitude marked her
struggle with the deadly malady
and while her naturally cheerful
temperament certainly intensified
her enjoyment of life, she did not
complain as her strength slowly
ebbed away and she realized that
she must die.
In the home she filled a place
that will be empty indeed and
the sorrowing parents and sister
have the sympathy of the entire
community.
Funreal services were held at
the home of her parents Satur-
day afternoon, conducted by Rev.
7. S. Crowder of the II. E. church
of which she was a member, as
sisted by Rev. w. S. Howard of
the Episcopal church. The atten-
dance was large and the many
tear-stained faces attested the
genuine sorrow of those who
knew her best.

Negro Taxpayers in Georgia.

Tom Watson closes lengthy re-
view of the negro in his Magazine as
follows: In brief, then, the black
people of Georgia paid taxes in 1902
on 1,175,291 acres of land, and upon
an entire property aggregating s15,-
i1SS,069 in assessed value. This
means, beyond the shadow of doubt
that the negroes of Georgia, or
broadly speaking, the South, are ac-
cumulating property and acquiring
lhomes. And since the negro with a
home is almost sure to stard for law,
order and civic faithfulness, it means,
moreover, a reaching out toward
higher standards of living, not mater
ial living alone, but social life, mental
and moral striving and achievements.

In the temporary absence of
the Entomologist DR.. L. 0. How
ard, | have to reply to your letter
of the 24th instant, which has
been referred to this Bureau for
attention.
The maple twig which you
send is thickly infested with the
common cottony scale of the ma
pie (Pulvinaria innumerabilis) :.
The cottony (really waxy) mass
is the egg receptacle secreted by
the adult scale insect. The young
scales hatch from the eggs in
this same mass in June and July
and spread out over the leaves,
returning to the twigs in the au-
tumn The remedy is to spray
the trees with an oily mixture
within month after the young
emerge. The spray recommended
is kerosene emulsion, following
the directions given in Farmers
Bulletin 127, copy of which | am
Sending you under separate COW
er. AS a rule this scale insect
does not necessarily threaten the
life of the trees attacked, and is
apt very shortly to be brought
under control by natural enemies.
1t is, therefore. probably inadvis-
able to undertake the expense of
spraying large trees. With small
trees, which may be more easily
sprayed, it may be we'll to apply
the remedy indicated.
Yours truly,

Acting Chief of Bureau.

''The good are getting better
and the bad are growing worse, -
said Sam Jones, the well-known
lecturer, who passed away few
hours at the Great Northern hotel
at Chicago the other day, before
leaving for Streator, where he
spoke before the Chautauqua
meeting. "Many people are get
ting tired of graft and boodling
in this country" he continued,
''and l look to see cyclone of
sentiment aroused which will
move everything before it.
"The great trouble lies in the
fact that an energetic CRATER gets
much more advertising than the
quiet man who attempts to live
honestly, but the hope of our ma
ton, nevertheless, is the unas-
Stunning element, which, once
awakened, is a tremendous force
for moral and political uplift.
"Stir up 5 quiet atmosphere
into cyclone and something
happens. Something like that is
about to happen in the stirring up
of public sentiment. and not very
much time will elapses before it
takes place.
"Signs of change are manifest
in Philadelphia, St. Louis and
Milwaukee, and they mean much
to this country.
Mr.. Jones asserts that the south
is awakening wonderfully in a
commercial sense and that better
opportunities may be found there
at this time than in any other Sec

Louis Ludlow, in the indianapolis
Star, says:
Aside from the vice president. who
draws a salary of $4,000 a year, the
highest salaried Hoosier holding a
government position is man who
would be the very last whom the av-
erage Indianian would think of in that
connection. This distinction belongs
to A. L. Lawshe, of Converse, auditor
for the Philippines, who is paid the
neat sum of $1,000 year for his SER
vices. This is $4,000 a year more
than the salary to senator or repre-
sentative. After a long vacation in
this country Lawshe is now on his
way back to the Philippines. AS chief
accounting officer of the Philippines
all expenses of the insular govern
ment are paid out under his inspec
ton. He has held the Office since
1900.

Farewell

1t may appear strange to my
numerous friends, and especially
to my dear parishioners of St.
Michaeps church, that in view of
my approaching departure from
this city no farewell sermon was
attempted last Sunday. l did not
deem it proper to mar the festive
joys of the First Communion eel
ebration in the morning by intro
ducing a subject so painful to me.
Besides the services were very
long. In the afternoon I was
hardly able to be at my post in
the sanctuary, being on the verge
of a collapse from exhaustion.
My main reason for the silence,
however, is due to tie fact that
my heart was too full for utter
ance.
To my dear parishioners of St.
Michael's Church | desire to say
that our relations have been so
pleasant and their attachment to
me so devoted, that I cannot bid
them a public farewell except
through the press. May God
bless them abundant1y, and may
their relations with their new
pastor be of the same harmonious
and devoted nature.
Nor can l forget the good peo-
pie of Plymouth generally, who
are not of my own creed. l cor
daily thank one and all for the
many acts of kindness shown me
and assure the public that the
"reminiscences l bear with me in
leaving Plymouth, are among the
fondest of my life. S. NJ. Yenn.
