Death of s. N. Landers.
Landers is dead.

Newt L3flutTS IS ucdu
 This was the astounding and shock inc 0news which spread rapidly over the .itv last Saturday night. It was all tbe more appalling from the fact that hs was known to have been in perfect health Friday morning, and was at his uork and circulating among his friends as usual.
 The writer conversed with him as ,ats as o'clock Friday morning and bs was in his usual jolly mood.
 souare Newton Landers was born in psnry county, Georgia, on September 9s ls4e and was therefore in his 57th year. He was raised on his fathers farm. and moved to Arkansas in 1887. He was married to Miss Rowena Stark. at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on January 4, 1888, and moved to Forrest City May 9, lss4, where he engaged in and followed his trade of black smithing until his death.
 He was taken with severe pain in tbe region of or probably just above bis stomach about 10 o'clock last Fri day morning, while at work in his shop. He was naturally large, healthy and robust man, and thought little of it at first, but it grew rap- idly more severe, and he went home, arriving there about Il o'clock.
 Physicians were summoned, and all loown remedies that science and love could suggest were applied, but he got no relief, and on Saturday evening as the day closed, so closed the life of this good man. He died at 1:l5, and the remains were inferred in the For rest City cemetery on Sunday after noon at 2:30 o'clock under the aus piees of the Knights and Ladies of Honor, of which he was a member in good standing. Elder J. H. Cason, of the Baptist church conducted the re- ligious exercises. The funeral took place from the family residence and was largely attended.
 He leaves a wife and one child. a beautiful daughter, to mourn their loss, which is great indeed. He was kind, devoted and indulgent husband and father, true friend, a sober, hardworking citizen, who had the re- spect of all and the esteem of many friends.
 He was candidate for the legisla- ture before the last democratic pri- | mary election, and announced himself as "The Village Blacksmith, by which name he has since been gen. orally called. He had big heart and strong convictions, and made very ereditable race, and would probably have been elected except for certain combinations which contributed to his defeat. The Times desires to joins the many friends of the bereaved family in sim cere condolences in this, the darkest hour of their lives. Death at best is an awful dispensation of Providence when it occurs in an ordinary manner. | but when the dark angel comes with | such sudden and awful consequences, the heart is not prepared, and the grief must be poignant indeed.
 May God look after the widow and l orphan of our deceased friend and comfort them in their distress

Hearst for Governor.

The independence League nomin-
ated William Randolph Hearst for
governor of New York, Wednesday
evening Hearst appeared on the
platform amid great cheering and &C
cepted the nomination. He spoke for
ten minutes, saying:
Il am honored to have been NOM
mated by this convention. | am
proud to run on this platform. / am
devoted heart and soul to the prin-
ciples expressed in every line of it.
Il have said that my program is
not socialism or radicalism, or ex-
tremes of any kind. 1t is simply
Americanism. If this platform is not
Americanism, then common honesty
is no longer measure of American
morals. If this platform is not Amer
icanism, then free ballot and a fair
count is no longer the basis of our
American government. If this plat
form is not Americanism, then inde-
pendence, equality and opportunity
have ceased to be American ideals.
Then Jefferson's teachings have been
forgotten and Lincoln's labor was
in vain.
Because we have received cour-
teously and CONSIDERABLY a memorial
from sympathetic Democrats, certain
hostile agencies have cried deal"
All the deal" that is contemplated
is expressed in this platform.
1--WE promise an honest admins
tration We promise an impartial
enforcement of the laws.
1--WE promise to sweep from the
public pay roll the servants of pri-
vate interests.
1--WE promise ominations that are
not bossed and elections that are not
Sought.
1--WE promise consideration and
representation for the producing
masses
1--WE promise to abolish class dis
tinction and class legislation and to
restore Government for the great
est good of the greatest number
I'VE ask in return the honorable
support of all honest men,
IF that is a deal it is Square

War on Trusts to be Renewed.

With the return to Washington
next week of Commissioner of Cor
poration Garfield, it is expected thai
activity in the investigation of trust
illegalities will be resumed. The full
report on the oil inquiry soon will be
completed and after that the tobacco
combine is to be given particular at
tention. Fifty or more experts arc
securing the country, picking up
threads of information about the to-
bacco business, present and past, and
following them through their various
deviations to the combines head
quarters.
One of the things with which the
inquiry is concerned is the pictur-
esque advertising campaign made
about ten years ago in the interest
of certain brand of plug tobacco.
This was one of the most remark
able and effective methods of found
ing monopoly that ever was under
taken. The combine drove the indie
pendents to surrender by squander-
ing -apparently-millions upon mil
lions in advertising 1t almost gave
tobacco away, and it won its point

Back of the Forty-niners.

On Saturday the surviving Forty
miners met in Chicago to recall the
days of the search for gold in Cali
fornia where they had gone to pick
up the metal 'as pebbles from the
streams and hillsides." Men not yet
in middle life fail to realize how
far in the past "The Forty-niner" is
They heard the stories of the dig
gings in boyhood from men whose
hair was not yet frosted and the time
of the Argonauts was brought close
to the present 1t is hard to believe
today that these men are represented
only by remnant of the great COM
pany which went westward.
The rapid passing of time and al
that its passing means may be re-
allied by giving thought to the vet
Grams of the Mexican war, which an
tedated the gold pilgrimage by a
few months longer than two years.
The roll call of the living men who
fought in that war is pitifully short
Nearly every great soldier who made
his fame in the civil war and who as
a subaltern followed Gen. Taylor
or Gen Scott into Mexico has heard
his last taps The deaths of many
of them have occurred so recently
that the mention of the fact that
they fought in 1s47 was not start
lingly significant of great age. The
Mexican war soldiers, however, have
gone so rapidly within the last five
years that in many parts of the coun
try there are no veterans left for
the holding of reunions.
Here and there few sturdy ones
remain. There are officers who bore
a part in the war of sixty years ago
who are still carried on the lists of
the regular army. They have been
retired for years A single page of
the Army Register is sufficient to
hold the names. There are men liv-
ing today who fought in the later
Seminole wars, but in number they
are not enough to form a guard re-
lief. We hear of the wars of the
days before the eivil conflict and
they do not seem to belong to the
distant past The truth is forced
home only when the roll of the par
Elephants is called.

Mediation. Not Force-Bryan.

At Roanoke, Va, Sunday night,
William J. Bryan gave out his first
expression on the present Cuban sit
uation. When seen in his car, just
before he left there for Lynchburg,
he dictated the following statement:
Il am very glad that the admin
istration recalled the troops landed
at Havana. While we should do all
in our power to bring about peace
by offering the good Offices of our
country, we have no business inter-
fering with their local affairs. They
must settle the disputes among them
selves, but | would be glad if both
parties would be willing to accept
mediation with the idea of bringing
about an agreement through the
good offices of our government"
Mr.. Bryan pointed out that this
expression was the first he had made
on the present situation in the island,
and this was all he cared to say. He
spent the d,.y resting at Hollins In
stitute, college for young women,
six miles from Roanoke, in the coun-
try, where his daughter Grace has
entered school In the afternoon he
delivered an address to the students
in the college chapel.

Three of the Spanish war ships
which confronted Amiral Dewey in
the naval battle in Manila bay on
May 1, 1898, which were driven
ashore and captured, brought the
munifcient sum of 81 ,332.O5 the other
day.
The three ships in question which
have just been sold, were not, as has
been stated of wooden construction,
but of iron a fact which makes all
the more striking their fate when it
is remembered that it required sew
eral months to find a purchaser De-
Quoting the expense of getting rid
of them, the final net return on the
three ships, which originally cost the
Spanish government hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, was exactly
s1oa.30 the final value of an invest
merit representing more money than
the average man earns in a life time
amounting to less than enough to
pay a lieutenant's salary for month
These ships-the Albay, the Mani
leno and the Kindanao-have for
eight years lain where they ground
ed, and were ordered to be sold by
Paul Morton while secretary of the
navy.

Riddicks Says Boys Is a Liar.

The Winamac Republican, owned
and edited by Brother-in-law Rid
dick, in its issue of Thursday, Sep
TENDER 13, says:
Next Saturday September Is, the
Republicans of Pulaski county will
hold thenr county convention in Vur-
pillat's opera house, and every Re-
publican in the county is urged to
be present and every Republican
present will have a vote.
Congressman Brick will be present
and deliver a speech, as will also O.P.
Smith, Republican candidate for joint
senator from Pulaski and Cess coun
ties"
In the issue of the Plymouth
Chronicle of the same date and also
in the Chronicle of September 6, the
statement is made that under rule 30
of the state committee, nominations
cannot be made by mass convention
Riddick who is secretary of the state
committee says in the above call that
Brotherin-law Boys is guilty of pub
fishing lie. There is not now nor
has there ever been any rule Of the
committee that conflicts with the cali

Onion Crop for Year 1903.

The September onion crop report,
issued by the Jerome B. Rice seed
company of Cambridge, NJ Y, places
the total crop of onions for 1906 at
4,o55,277 bushels as against 4,311, Gao
bushels for 1905. Indiana will raise
1,311,140 bushels this year, more than
any state in the country, making In
diana the banner onion state In
1905 Ohio raised over 100000 bushels
more than Indiana, but this year the
Indiana crop will be 100000 bushels
larger than 1905, while Ohio will
show but small gain In Indiana.
Noble county raises the greatest
amount of onions and this year will
produce 100000 bushels. Kosciusko
county, which is second in Indiana
and therefore in the entire county,
will raise 100000 bushels this season.
In Kosciusko county 967 acres are
planted in onions and the average
yield will be 295 bushels per acre.
Of the onions raised in Kosciusko
county so per cent will be yellow, a
per cent red, and only per cent
white.
Elkhart county has but twenty
two acres, gain of four over last
year, and the total yield is placed al
5000 bushels this season.

Pulaski Republicans Split.

A special to the South Bend Times
from Winamac, Sept. 10 says: The
scandal caused by the finding of an
affidavit filed by Carl w. Riddick,
secretary of the Republican state
committee, an editor of one of the
local papers, to secure an exemption
from taxation on his home there and
which affidavit is claimed to be false
is humiliating to the rank and file
of the party, and promises to turn
large number of votes from Cong
ressman Brick to Hon. b. +. Shively,
unless Brick should break off his al
lance with Riddick.
In connection with this, attention
is being called to Ridaick's continual
complaints of high taxes.
1t is said that the latter has a
promise from Brick to be appointed
postmaster, and feels SO certain of
the appointment that he has brought
his two brothers and brother-in-law
Richard Baldwin, here from Michi-
gan. III
The Nye-R iddick-Spangler facl;on
have selected w. E. Netherton for
county chairman, to whose selection
the Conn-Dowell forces are opposed.
Congressman Brick is to be here Sat
urday and endeavor to patch up the
differences.
1t might be we'll for the Hon. A. L
to stop at Plymouth on his road hotss
and put on few patches in Marshall
county.

Fleecers are Fleeced.

1t develops that the state of Indi-
ana, through Governor Hanly and
Attorney General Miller, had not
been the only blighting agency work
ing on the big French Lick and West
Baden hotels relating to their Monte
Carlos. A systematic Matchmaking
or pirating concern with headquast-
ers in Chicago and doing tribute
levying business of national scope
had been making demands on the
management for two years before the
state stepped in and took its victims
out of its clutches by raiding the two
big casinos. By way of forcing its
demands the Matchmaking schemers
used dynamite once, blowing a sec
ton of the building out of the French
Monte Carlos, and the same thing
happened to the West Baden Monte
Carlos. The next morning the man
ayers got letters from the Chicag
concern saying, Don't you think
you had better come to terms" The
intervention of the state only saved
the payment of tribute.

LAST GLIMPSE OF LAKE.
Aged Woman Dies in Chicago Depot
After Wish is Gratihed.

The last wish of aged Mrs. Helen
NJ. Tyler to see Lake Michigan-the
Lake Michigan of her girlhood-was
gratifed.
She died in the Illinois Central
Depot Thursday, few minutes after
she arrived in Chicago from Coving-
ton, KY Her girlhood days had been
spent in a log cabin within sight OF
the lake, and when she felt that
death was creeping upon her, she
pleaded that she be taken back to
look once more over the inland sea.
Mrs. Tyler was brought to Chi
cago by her father and grandfather
in 1882. At that time, when she had
her first glance of the lake, she was
a little girl of 5. Alexander Beau
bien, the first white child born in
Chicago, was her playmate, and
many times she has told her children
of the happy winter mornings when
he hauled her to and from school on
sled.
Henry H. Handy was her father
and Truman P. Handy her grand
father. They were dry goods mer-
chants from Buffalo, N Y, and
opened a store in the shadow of the
old Fort Dearborn stockade. They
owned the land which is now State
and Lake street. When she was a
little girl strawberry bed grew on
the bank of the river where is now
the Rush street bridge and supplied
the entire village of Chicago with
the luscious fruit.
Her father returned to Buffalo, and
in 1914 she married Edmund b. Ty-
Ter, a New York newspaper man. He
was the publisher of two papers-the
Censor and Advocate-at Fredonia
N Y, and in the early COS came
west and became the editor of the
Freeport. Journal He remained with
that paper for many years. He was
one of the old-time printers in the
days of Horace Greeley and the ED
err James Gordon Bennett and was
friend of these two publishers.
After the death of her husband,
Mrs. Tyler again made her home in
Chicago, for many years living on
Seminary avenue, near Fullerton
Since the death of an invalid son
five months ago she has been visit
ing a daughter, Mrs w. NJ Austin,
in Covington.
When she arrived i'm Chicago
Thursday she was sinking rapidly
Her daughters were at the depot to
met her. Mrs. Austin accompanied
her. and she died in sight of the lake
which she loved so much and with
her three daughters around her.
