INTO FERTILE FIELDS.
Tolleston Marshes to Lose Fame as
Hunting Preserve.

After years of bloody warfare be-
tween angry farmers and hot headed
watchmen, years which have left a
record of many an unsolved murder
mystery, the hunting preserves of the
famous Tolleston Gun club in Lake
county are about to be reclaimed and
turned into fertile fields and product
i've gardens.
Thousands of acres of marshy sod
which now grow wild rice, and which
in the early spring and late fall shell
ter ducks, geese and other game, are
to be placed under cultivation, ac-
cording to plans drafted by Lake
county ditch commissioners. The
gun clubs members for a decade or
more have been, for the most part,
wealthy Chicagoans, who made fre-
quent visits to the preserves during
the hunting season. These men are
not expected to surrender possession
without hard legal battle, prepara-
tions for which already are under
way.

SENTIMENT WILL REACT.
japanese Realize that War Could not
Go On For Money.

Under a vigorous defense by the
conservative journals supporting the
Government and a fuller and better
appreciation of the conditions con-
fronting the Government, public SEN
timent is showing some evidence of
reaction. The argument that it is
impossible for Japan to continue the
bloody war merely for the purpose
of securing indemnity is proving sue
cessful in allaying dissatisfaction 1t
is believed that when the Govern
ment is free to explain fully the con-
ditions of the settlement and the log
ic appertaining to them the reaction
of sentiment will largely increase.
The entire Nation is keenly disap-
pointed at the outcome. Nowhere
throughout the Empire has there
been step taken toward the celebra-
ton of the conclusion of peace. The
radicals continue their campaign
against the Government, demanding
the punishment of those responsible
for the compromise.

A STRENUOUS PREACHER.
Rev. N. H. Sheppard Of Plymouth,
Builds a Church Almost With
out Assistance.

The Christian church in Plymouth
has history. The new building is
largely due to the efforts of Rev. N.
H. Sheppard formerly of South Bend,
who threw the first shovelful of
earth, and has worked ION the build
ing from its inception to its compile
ton Laying aside his clerical garb,
on each Monday, he donned work
shirt and overalis and with his own
hands has performed a large part of
the mason and carpenter work He
drew the plans, with tile aid of the
architect, collected the funds, and as
result has neat and cosy struct-
ure for the permanent home for his
people. The pastor was formerly a
carpenter and the step from the pull
pit to the workbench was an easy
one.

FAR EAST POLICY.
Several Live Issues Await Considera-
ton of Secretary Root.

Secretary of State Root is expected
to take active charge of the affairs OF
the state department on October 1.
When he does so some exceedingly
interesting matters of international
and national Importance will be laid
before him for settlement No action
has yet been taken by the United
States with a view to the recognition
OF Norway as an independent sover-
eighty, and it is declared at the state
department none will be taken until
Secretary Root has an opportunity
OF consider the right Of Norway to
receive at this time such recognition.
1t will not be the policy of the Unit
ed States under any circumstances to
make formal acknowledgements of
Norway's independence until such
recognition has been accorded bv
France, Germany and Great Britain.
Ii sufficient proofs are presented that
the separation of Norway and Sweden
is an accomplished fact and admitted
by the latter, and that stable form
OF government has been adopted by
Norway proper, recognition will be
accorded.
One of the most important matters
to come before the new secretary will
be the policy of this country with re-
gard to the far East under the new
condition of affairs resulting from the
kusso-Japanese war and the treaty
OF peace between Russia and Japan
such as has been suggested in some
quarters whereby those countries take
unto themselves the bulk of the trade
OF Manchuria, would certainly be
fought by the United States. 1t is
believed, however, that Japan would
be willing to enter into such an ar
rangement with Russia.
In connection with the settlement
OF the Chinese policy, Secretary Root
Will be brought face to face with the
oh'aSOhiSliC attitude assumed by CHI
nese merchants toward the United
States, as evidenced by the boycott
OF American goods in Shanghai, Can
ton and few other ports of China
That some steps must be taken to
end this boycott of American goods
is certain, and at present the only
method known to the state depart
ment is the negotiation of a
a broader exclusion treaty. The spec
ial representative of the Chinese gov
ernment on exclusion matters is now
in this country and will meet Secre-
tary Root Immediately after he takes
hold of affairs.

Christian Church Dedicated.

The new Christian church in this
city was dedicated Sunday The day
was rainy and the gloomy wet wealth
er detracted much from the large at
tendance. State Evangelist Legg
preacehd in the afternoon and several
Plymouth ministers were present in
the afternoon. Elder Aldrich of Ro-
chester assisted in the afternoon and
all the services were interesting and
profitable.
The beautiful little church cost on
ly $1700 but the pastor did about $500
worth of gratuitous labor on the
structure. The lot cost $500 making
t hecost of the building and lot $250o.
Previous to the dedication $115791
had been collected and $540.15 was
provided for Sunday, leaving sso1 "a
yet to be raised. Efforts will be
made to provide for this amount at
once, and the Christian church will
have neat and substantial place of
worship.

A Labor day episode at Logans-
port deserves special mention, viz
the burning of three thousand books
of cigarette papersN These books had
cen sent to pbeople in the state by
the tobacco trust for the purpose OF
stimulating the violation of the anti
cigarette law. They had been col
1ected by the Logansport Labor day
committee for the good use to which
they put them. 1t was a spectacle
whose moral worth is not to be cas-
lily overestimated. This in nothing
touches the law in question; one may
reckon that to be wise or foolish, as
one will. The point is that it is a
law deliberately enacted, the scope
of which all agree was meant to
reach an acknowledged evil-Indian-
apolis News.

Mob Rule in Iapan.

The terms of the Portsmouth trea-
ty seem highly offensive to the war
party in Japan
The serious rioting of Wednesday
continued Thursday and a special
Thursday night says that for three
days and nights mobs have filled the
streets of the capital, and clashes
with the police have been frequent.
Four lives have been lost, 600 per-
sons, of whom 200 are policemen,
have been injured and much property
has been destroyed. Ten Christian
churches and one mission school
house were burned last night. E. H.
Hartman, president of the Southern
Pacific railroad, has been threatened,
and Marquis Ito, president of the
privy council, has been stoned by a
mob, but neither was injured. Ma
tional troops, called out for service
in the war, have been put on duty
in checking the disorder, the police
force having proved unequal to the
task

Ready for the Veterans.

The Starke County Republican
says: When the veterans of the 29ih
and 73rd Indiana regiments reach
Knox on the Goth they will find
themselves the temporary proprietors
of one of the incest little towns to
be found within the borders of Hoo
sierdom. No pains have been spared
to make the visit of these veterans
most pleasant indeed. There is no
shortage as to finance and no dearth
of hospitable homes to detract from
the festivities, and if our visitors do
moot go away feeling that they have
got their moneys worth it will sure
ly be their own fault.
M. c. Cormick formerly OF Argos,
will deliver the welcome address and
Marshall county probably will have
as many veterans present as any 9TH
er county

tanned the reputation of the well
known caterers, and the numerous
toasts were responded to by almost
every gentleman present.

"A Man of the World"

Those who had the privilege OF
witnessing the production of Edward
Davis drama "A Man of the World
are congratulating themselves upon
their good fortune. Mr.. Davis as
sumed the leading role and his pre-
sentation of Devries was superb. A
man of splendid physique and mag
netic presence, he held the attention
of the audience from start to finish
by the perfectly sympathetic concep-
ton of his part. Miss Eleanor Hicks

high ideal of the significance of
marriage, after choosing the improvi-
dent actor and libertine, Devries, for
her husband, stands by him nobly in
his attempt at reformation. VIM.
