Crumpacker Favors Hanly.

Louis Ludlow wires from
Washington to the Indianapolis
Star:
Judge Edgar d. Crumpacker,
representative from the Tenth
district, who arrived here Satur-
day. predicts that Governor Han
ly will develop into very prom
ising possibility for the Republi-
can presidential nomination in
1908. The character of Mr.. Han
ly's administration from the start
has been such, he says, as to at
tract the attention of the whole
country. To a group at the Will
lard hotel Judge Crumpacker
said that Mr.. Hanly's star is
travelling in the direction of the
presidency instead of the senate.
"We are for Hanly for presi-
dent up our way" said the judge.
"If it shall turn out that both
Mr.. Fairbanks and MIR. Hanly are
candidates for the presidential
nomination the Tenth district
will be for Mr.. Hanly."

President Roosevelt's annual
message to congress, which was
read in both houses Tuesday
was in some respects the most
satisfactory document that has
issued from the white house since
Mr.. Roosevelt became president.
1t contained nc new topics of leg
islation and its tone from begin
ming TO end was an admixture OF
fine conservatism and ardent pat
riotism.
1t. was received by senators
and representatives with feelings
of satisfaction that they did not
attempt to restrain. Their YER
dict was that the president had
made himself so clear and COM
prehensive upon all of the great
subjects of legislation which will
engage the attention of congress
during the next six or seven
months that there is greater
likelihood than ever before OF
united and harmonious action in
both houses. The condensed re-
port of the message giving all its
main points is given in Our paper
and should be carefully read by
all who wish to understand the
questions which will be consid-
cred by congress which convened
Monday.

Indiana Railway Accidents.

Figures compiled by Joseph H.
Stubbs, chief of the state bureau
of statistics, show that during
the year ended June 30, 1905, 354
persons lost their lives by acci-
dent on railroad trains in Indi-
ana and $500 people were in
jured. OF the eighty-nine killed
through causes classed as being
beyond their control, FIVE were
passengers, ffty-seven were en-
ployes and twenty-seven were
neither.
OF the 265 classed as having
been killed through their own
carelessness, three were passen-
gers, ffty-6ve were employees and
2O7 were neither. Of the total
number injured, 1882 were in
jured through causes beyond
their control, of which number,
158 were passengers; 1861 en-
ployes, and sixty-three others. OF
the 2,027 injured through their
own carelessness, sixty three
were passengers, 1928 employees,
and 236 others. Damages to the

USES CHURCH'S BAN.
Bishop Excommunicates Guests
at Congressman's Wedding.

accommodation is the pen
atty imposed by Bishop Scannell
of the Omaho diocese upon Miss
Mae Hamilton, who acted as
bridesmaid at the marriage of
Miss Marguerite Pritchett to
Congressman John L. Kennedy
Wednesday and the like penalty
is also imposed by the bishop up
on all Catholics who may have
attended the wedding. Miss
Hamilton and the guests who at
tended the wedding are excom-
municated because of the fact
that Congressman Kennedy is a
divorced man and his divorced
wife is still living. Miss Ham
ilton's individual fortune is rated
at over $1,000,OOO.
In a pastoral to the clergy of
the diocese which was read in the
churches last Sunday Bishop
Scannell set forth the law of the
Catholic church regarding the
marriage of divorced persons and
declared emphatically that any
Catholic in his diocese who
should violate that law would be
excommunicated. That pastoral,
it is said, was written by the
bishop with special reference to
the approaching nuptials of Miss
Pritchett and Congressman Ken
nedy.
Many prominent Catholics
who were invited refrained from
going to witness the ceremony,
presumably because of Bishop
Scannell's pastoral, but many of
them went to the reception after
ward. Among these was Mrs.
Edward Cudahy, wife of the mil
lionaire packer.

Mark Twain's Birthday.

Mark Twain was 20 years old
on Thanksgiving day. This re-
calls what the Chicago Journal
said of the longevity of authors.
We reproduce it as it was printed
last spring. "Dr. Holmes attained
the age of eighty-fve; Whittier
and Harriet Beecher Stowe died
at eighty-four; Bryant at eighty
three; Emerson at seventy-eight !;
Irving at seventy-six; Longfel-
low at seventy-hve. OF others

exceptions actively at work. Jul

Those 225,O0O Votes.

1t must have been with some
thought of the 225, 900 votes cast
for William r. Hearst that May
or Mcclellan at the great Jew
ish celebration in Carnegie Hall
said:
Can we blame a man if upon
the first taste for freedom he con-
founds license with liberty; can
we blame him if, upon his first
glimpse of freedom, he is inclined
to follow the teachings of the
first demagogue who breaches
anarchy and who promises Uto-
pia at the expense of existing law
and order. Hunger and ignor-
ance cover a multitude of sins. y
But the 225,000 votes cast for
Hearst were not only the votes
of those who with the first taste
of freedom have been inclined to
follow the teachings of the dema-
gogue who breaches anarchy and
who promises Utopia at the ex-
pense of the existing law and or
der"
The votes represented these,
indeed, but they also represented
thousands who preferred even
the denlagogue preaching anar-
chy and promising Utopia, to the
triumph of a boss whose loftiest
conception of municipal govern
ment was that of honest graft
and anything else that promised
rake-off but didn't monkey
with the penal code. They also
represented the discomfort and
disgust that have followed the
insurance scandals.-Wall Street
Journal.

The farmers of the country
have given the huge trusts jolt.
Gigantic combinations are now
aware that there are others. Ac-
cording to Secretary Wilson the
farmers trust, which IS not a
close corporation, produced $6,-
Ais, 100000 worth of crops durin g
the year. That is enough to make
the greatest octopus sit up and
take notice.
Thus the American farmer be-
comes the wonder of the world.
He has turned all his fields to
gold, as it were. The secretary
of agriculture, with fine pictorial
fancy, says: The man with the
hoe has become the man with the
harvester and the depositor and
shareholder of the bank"
So much for totals and the re-
port of Secretary Wilson. Now
to consider the farmer as one of
us, as an individual. OF course
he is prosperous, but these are
prosperous times. The man who
tills the soil is not one but many,
and the many are not becoming
leaders in finance with that ra-
pidity which the secretary in his
fine figure suggests. After the
totals, which reach into billions,
have been put through a shrink
ing process we find the farmer
well-to-do, but not becoming i'm
mensely wealthy. Mortgages in
large number have been lifted
and some money accumulated,
but he is working from &c rly
dawn till nightfall and onlv do
ing we'll. Therefore. while totals
almost stagger. the man who fol-
lows the plow is not accumulat-
ing riches untold. He is simply
one OF rs and enjoying to full
measure the prosperity with
which this country is favored.
To detract in any way from
the record made by the farmer
during the year is not desired.
But it is we'll to consider things
in their true light, and some
times figures startle when there
is no need. The farmer is just
doing his best and, favored by
weather conditions, his best tells
that is all.-South Bend Tribune.

Horns on Human Skull.

A special from Knightstown,
Ind, says: Alonzo Lewis, who
lives near Sulphur Springs, in
this county, has unearthed the
skeleton of what is believed to
be primitive man belonging to
a race that inhabited this section
before history began to be writ
ten. The skeleton is over seven
feet long and a feature is that the
skull measures ten inches to the
back Of the head. On the back OF
the skull, just behind the ears,
are horns about an inch and a
half long. and turning down.
Other similar skeletons have
been unearthed in that neighbor-
hood. They have all been found
in a gravel pit, about ten feet be-
low the surface.

Experiments in Feeding.

Prof. ]. H. VanNorman, of the
Purdue agricultural department,
who will have charge of the ex-
periments in cattle feeding, to be
conducted at the university, this
winter, in accordance with the
act of the last legislature, provid-
ing $4,000 for the purpose, has
sent out blank forms to every
county clerk in the State, asking
them to obtain a list of the names
Of persons raising cattle to any
extent. When these lists are
compiled he will write to the lar
ger raisers in each county and in
vite them to send cattle upon
which toexperiment. The cattle
feeding tests will all be conduct
ed at the new at the new Purdue
barns and they will be the most
complete ever undertaken in any
school in the country.

Thanksgiving in Plymouth.

Hundreds of Plymouth people
spent Thanksgiving with rela-
tives in distant cities and hun
dreds came to Plymouth from
other places. The day was crisp
and moderately cold and the light
snow that covered the ground
gave just touch of winter. Busi-
ness in this city and surrounding
country was generally suspend
ed; there were good dinners AMI
smiling faces in almost every
home and the day was properly
observed by almost everybody.
Union Thanksgiving services
at the Presbyterian church were
we'll attended and the music and
the sermon were good.
Services commenced at 10 a. m.
The Mozart Club had charge of
the music and gave some of their
best and most difficult selections
as well as two or three familiar
hymns. The music, responsive
readings, scripture lesson, pray
er, collection and other prelimln-
aries took one hour and it was
eleven o'clock when Rev. ]. !.
Coleman arose to preach the
Thanksgiving sermon.
His text was taken from the
first verse of the 18th Psalm;
Great is the Lord and greatly to
be praised"
Mr.. Coleman talked just twen-
ty-five minutes and preached
very fine sermon. He is very
rapid speaker, knew what he was
going to say and stopped when
he was done. His theme was the
power, wisdom, justice goodness,
mercy, kindness and love of God.
After briefly reviewing the pros
perity of this country, the con-
ditions of other nations, the ap-
parent determination of men
everywhere to secure honesty
and integrity in high places, he
rapidly presented the reasons
why God is great and greatly to
be praised and why everybody
should be thankful regardless of
seeming reverses, distress and
sorrow. 1t was a good sermon
and we hope all who were priv
ileged to hear it were benefited.

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
Battle Fought with Mutineers at
Kief in Which Fifty Men
are Slain.

There has been serious street
fighting at Kieff between mutin-
Gus sappers and Cossacks and
between workmen and bands oi
the black hundred Scores OF
persons have been killed or
wounded. Martial law has been
proclaimed.
Officers recently held a meet
ing at Tsarskoe-Selo and decided
to refuse to order their men to
fire if called on to repress dis
orders.
intense alarm prevails at St.
Petersburg. Communication with
the outer world by telegraph
ceased when the Finnish operat-
ors joined their Russian COM
rades. The embassies, legations
and banks are hastily organizing
courier service to both the Fiji
nish and German frontiers.
The population is almost in a
state of panic, fearing that the
railroads will stop running and
that the inhabitants therefore
will have no mode of flight in the
event of the cataclysm which
thy seem to fear is imminent.
There is the greatest excite
ment among the sailors and the
authorities have ordered TIE dis
armament of the warships. The
officers, fearing a mutiny, acced-
ed to the demand of the sailors
for the release of workman who
was arrested while disturbing
revolutionary proclamations.
Soldiers and sailors are driving
about the streets creating distur-
Dances. Many quarters of the
city are dangerous after nightfall,
owing to an increase in the NUM-
Der of unruly characters.
The military authorities are
preparing repressive measures.
Heavy forces OF artillery are ar
irving at the capital, causing a
panic among the population.
The most elaborate precau-
tons have been taken against a
feared outbreak by the troops as
a result of the Sebastopol NUT
my. The naval battalions have
been completely gained over by
the revolutionists and are almost
beyond control. They have been
deprived of their arms.
The reactionary influences st
court and the imperial guard are
making desperate efforts to un-
horse Count Witte, to proclaim
a dictatorship and to fight the
revolution with bullets and bay
onets. Their candidates for die
tator are General Count Alexis
Ignatieff and General Skallon,
governor general of Poland.
Stories of the spread of disaf-
fection in the guard regiment are
in everybody's mouth and the
revolutionaries continue to boast
that the troops will no longer fire
on the people.

Commissioners Court.

The Commissioners met in
regular session Monday morning.
The usual routine business was
transacted.
On the last day of the session
Daniel Jacoby was appointed
drainage comisioner, DR.. Eley re-
signed as physician for county
inflrmary and was made secre-
tary of the board of health. DIR.
A. c. Holtzendorff was made
county asylum physician.
There was a lively discussion
in regard to appointing a tax fer
ret, but the board voted two for
and one against the resolution,
consequently it is probable that
man to look up unpaid taxes
will be appointed.
