AS Howard Hill was driving on
the street west of the court house
Friday afternoon, one side of the
wagon tongue came loose and fell
down. The team was frightened and
began to kick and run, and the wag-
on striking the curb in front of
Haag's grocery store threw Howard
out. The team ran across the Van
dalia track where the wagon upset,
the box falling on Harry Hill of
this city, who was in the wagon, go
ing home with his cousin. He was
considerably bruised, but not SER
~iously injured. Howard's head was
cut and he was stunned for time.
The team broke loose from the wag-
on when It upset and ran home They
Iwere not much hurt; so that taken
altogether it was fortunate for men
and team.

To Reduce Campaign Expenses.

There are two ways to lessen
campaign expenses. One is to require
by law every voter to go to the polls
on election day, failure to do so un-
der normal conditions being made
punishable by fine. The other is to
prohibit anyone exercising any sort
of persuasion to induce an unwilling
or Indifferent voter to go to the
polls. The latter method would be
preferable of the two. IT would save
large sums of money usuaily expend-
ed for conveying voters to the place
of holding elections. A voter who
feesl no interest in the determination
of questions of public importance,
decided by elections, can hardly be
considered especially fitted for pass
irlg on governmental problems

CAR PRACTICALLY PRISONER
Ruler Kept in Ignorance and Con-
slant Surveillance Maintained.

William E. Curtis writes from ST.
Petersburg that the car of Russia
is virtually a prisoner in a pretty viii
la surrounded by beautiful forest
at Peterhof, about twelve miles from
the capital, where Peter used to
spend his idle hours, and where his
successors have lived in splendor.
Ambassador Meyer describes his life
there as that of country gentleman
The villa is comparatively small and
Nicholas III is seeking domestic hap
piness with his wife and children to
whom he is devoted; although we
cannot imagine him as having much
peace of mind under the circum-
stances.
General Trehoff, commander of
the Palace Guards, notorious for his
determination and the horrible atroc-
tiles that have been committed under
his orders, lives in the villa with the
imperial family, and is supposed to
be there for the purpose of protect
ing the life of his master, but his
constant surveillance over the en-
peror and every one who visits him
is ascribed to another motive. 1t is
asserted that Trepoff not only reads
all the cars letters, but intercepts
those which he does not wish his
majesty to see He also is accused
of preventing information from
reaching the car which might affect
his policy or his good opinion of his
present advisers.
A daily paper is published for his
majesty's benefit, an ingenious de-
vice to keep the regular papers out
of his hands, In order to save him
time and trouble, which is an excel
lent pretext, three or four experience
ed men, employed by Trepoff as ed
itors, read the morning papers of St.
Petersburg and other Russian cities
and several French, German and
English journals for him, clipping
such articles as it is considered adj
visable for him to see. These are re-
printed on a sheet of convenient size
and laid upon his majesty's desk ev-
cry morning. Ten or twelve other
copies are printed for the use of the
grand dukes and other members of
the court, who are too busy or too
lazy to read the newspapers for
themselves. In this way Trepoff
prevents his imperial master from
being prejudiced against his own
policy. for you may be sure the clip
ping is done with great care and he
never reads anything that is not
proper for him to see.

Last year $4,000. 900 worth of dia.
monds were imported into this coun-
try. In 1897 the imports were
slightly less than $2.o0o,0o0. Nine
years of prosperity mean seventeen
times as much money spent for this
article of luxury. Here is whole
history of American spending money
in nutshell
Diamonds make up normally from
two-thirds to seven-eights of our
imports of jewelry. Las year the
jewelry imports reached total of a
little over $4o,ooo,Ooo. In the early
'9Os they ranged somewhat under
$4,000 year In the hard times
they fell to as low as S., 500, 600
Since 1898 they have been steadily
climbing upward from $40, 900 to
the present record figure
The Kaffirs in the diamond mines
of South Africa get $1.20 a day,
There are FIVE mines in the rich ter
ritory that yield from $1,000 to
$4,000 worth of diamonds a day
The price of diamonds is boosted
per cent several times each year
The people of the United States in
prosperous times buy upward Of
nine-tenths of all the diamonds
bought in the world. The more they
have the more they seem to want

DR.. Frank Edwards of Dayton, O.,
born in Freetown, Africa, gradu-
ate of Otterbe;n University, and a
student in medical college from
which he will graduate in another
year, is now twenty-four years old
He is preparing himself for mission
airy work in his native country and
gave lecture on Africa at the u
B. church Sunday evening, that
ought to have been heard by every
man and woman in Plymouth.
Durnig the past forty years we
have heard lectures by bishops, re-
turned missionaries, learned profes-
sors and travellers and we have no
hesitancy in saying that it was the
mos, interesting and instructive lee
ture of its kind that we ever heard
Those who listened to the lecture
got an insight into African charac-
ter, manners and customs that will
give them something to think about
The dark continent is one of the
richest on the globe and many of its
tribes possess natural ability that
may in the future make them leaders
in the world Of science and culture.
The speaker exhibited many curl
os, charms and idols, as well as
cloths and domestic articles, illustra-
ting the work, superstitions charac-
teristics and ideas of various tribes.
The lecture was replete with infor-
nation from beginning to end and
was delivered in a manner that made
it interesting from start to finish.
Those who heard it felt that Africa
is soon to be the great missionary
and educational field of the world.

Fred B. Smith of New York, an
official in the international religious
work department of the Y NJ c. A.
delivered the baccalaureate address
to the graduating class of the insti-
tute and training school of Chicago
in the auditorium on the camp of the
institute at Geneva lake Sunday
Mr.. Smith spoke of three great
dangers to the religious life of this
cvountry. One is the frequent rep
ition of the gospel message, by its
very familiarity breeding indifference
in the methods of the many. The
second, in the incessant chase for
pleasure the tendency to turn the
world into house of mirth." The
third is the prevailing prosperity of
the nation. If the Americans can
hold and develop their religious life
together with SO much prosperity it
will be something unprecedented in
history.

counties of Ohio is about $4,000, but

There are more men fit for mill

No precious metals have ever been

hills every year exceeds that Of the

Summer schools are not places
where much deep thinking is done,
IS rule. The persons in attendance
though of mature years and serious
purpose, find the weather and sur
roundings SO conducive TO rest and
the lighter enjoyments of life that
they are likely, in spite of them
selves, to drift along with the least
possible intellectual exertion They
listen with mild interest to lectures
on the special subjects on which they
are seeking light, and no doubt ac-
quire certain amount of informa-
ton without intense thought. At all
events, whatever ideas stick" may
be regarded as SO much gained.

The St. Joseph county commission
ers have issued new order relative
to the issuance of liquor licenses,
which they say will be strictly enforc-
ed in the future. Applicants for IL
censes must appear in person before
the county commissioners when they
file their bonds and must make oath
to the effect that they will conduct
their places properly and that they
will not permit slot machines or any
other gambling devices in their sa-
looms.

Addressing the association of Off
cial labor statisticians in Boston
Governor Guild said it was becoming
more imperative that legislation af-
fecting industry should be >uniform
throughout the country
By way of explanation he said,
Healthy competition between New
England and Georgia is impossible
as long as textiles spun and woven
by adults in the north are forced to
compete with textiles woven by lit
tie children in the south"
Labor by little children in factor
les is highly Objectionable, but not
for the reason suggested by Cover
nor Guild That official is evidently
a victim of the cheap labor fallacy
which affects the labor organizations
of the country and which has involv-
ed us in no end of bad legislation
and commercial repression and folly
Grown men and women have NO
reason to fear the competition of lit
tie children. The notion that they
are in danger of ruin by cheap child
labor is on the same intellectual
level with the notion that they are
in danger of ruin by cheap machine
labor.
Men who know CROUCH to become
governors of states ought to know
not to contribute to the
spread of the mischieyous cheap lab
or delusion among people who have
votes and power to do much harm ir
various ways but not intelligence
enough to keep clear of pestileni
economic errors.-Chicago Chroni-

Fifty years ago. July 81, 1856,
George w. Baxter and Miss Harriet
NJ Shatto were united in marriage
at Bourbon Indiana George was at
that time young man, twenty-four
years old, and his bride few years
younger. Many are the changes
that have taken place in Marshall
county during the half century that
has passed since that time, and only
a few of the sturdy residents, plo-
neers of the county the strong men
and noble women OF that time, are
living now.
Five Years after this marriage the
civil war was beginning to indicate
the fearful cost of men and money
that would be necessary to preserve
the union, and the young husband
responded to his country's call.
When the war was over he was
home again and ever since that time
he and his faithful wife have been
helping to make Marshall counsy one
of the best in Indiana.
Sunday, July 30, 1906 at their
home in Plymouth, Ind, scoses of
relatives and friends gathered to
congratulate them on the fact that
they were still comparatively strong
and well and that their hearts were
as young and tender as on the we'd
ding day fifty years ago.
Rev. l. s. Cleaver was present and
made nice address to Che happy
couple and assembled guests; an ex-
cellent wedding dinner was served at
Albert's restaurant four fve-dollar
gold pieces, some beautiful pieces
of queenszyare and other useful pres
ents along with gold-headed cane
for Mr.. Baxter were given and the
happy couple began the second half
century OF married life with as bright
prospects as fifty years ago.
The out of town guests were their
sons Ed and John Baxter and their
wives of Mishawaka; ]. M. Englen
and daughter of Omaha, Neb., Mrs.
Vaughn of Hammond, Mr. and Mrs.
James Triplett of Auburn; Miss Fay
Shatto. Butler; Mr.. and Mrs. Ben

The funeral of Peter Larson at
Donaldson Sunday afternoon. was
one of the largest ever held in that
section of country
Mr.. Larson had been for more
than a quarter of century tho ac-
knowledged Swede leader of that
section of Marshall county and was
known and respected throughout the
county. Many Of Plymouth's bust
ness men were present at the funeral
services which were held in the
Swede church at Donaldson. Ser
mons were preached in the English
and Swede languages.

Unearths Old Law.

attorney of Winamac, has found ar
old law which requires the judges Of
the circuit court to examine the of
fee of the county circuit clerk at the
beginning of each term of court and
to make written and sworn report
t othe board of county commission
ers. The law was enacted by the
Legislature of 1851 and went into ef-
feet Nav 6, 1853.

The Revolution in Russia.

History is not repeating itself
in Russia in every particular, but
there is no doubt whatever that in
every real sense the empire is in a
state of revolution. The Douma
bowed to the inevitable and obeyed
the order of dissolution. 1t did not
attempt to play the part of the
French convention" 1t did not set
up a rival government. 1t issued nc
call to the armed and trained forces
of the country to rally around it and
mike war on the Car and the small
| Bourbon clique that is advising him
in his laundering course. Its meet
ing in Finland had definite purpose
and it had sufficient time to accom-
plish that purpose.
Its manifesto to the people gives
its view of the dissolution and out
lines policy for the future 1t tells
the truth about the causes of he
coup d'etat. 1t virtually accuses the
Government of delaying the meeting
of the next Douma in order to bring
about, if possible, the election of a
pliable, subservient, ''amenable" body
of deputies. 1t goes on to say that
even the promise to respect the rep
resentative principle and convoke
another Donna is insincere. If the
popular movement for liberty is sup
pressed meantime. says the manifes-
to of the Journalists, no parliament
will be summoned at all. This, as all
realize, would mean complete reac-
ton, the triumph of counter-revolu-
| ton.
The appeal urges revolutionary re-
sistance, but not of the active kind.
Bloodshed and violence the Douma
leaders would avoid. They know
that the army is still sufficiently
loyal for the most part, to render
liberals and Constitutionalists worse
than futile. The peasants must be
enlightened What they advise is a
universal strike against the Govern
ment-a strike of the taxpayers and
the men liable to military service.
mo money and no men" for the
Gar is the formula. At the same
time leaders of the city proletarait
are advocating and planning a gen
eral industrial strike to paralyze the
trade and commerce of the country
and prevent the government from
moving its troops or carrying out
any policy whatever
These are revolutionary methods,
though of a new order. Their effec-
tiveness, it is plain. depends entire
| ly on the numbers ready and willing
to follow the leaders. 1t is serious
question whether the peasants and
city workingmen are intelligent
enough, patient enough and resolute
enough to adopt with success the
plan of campaign favored by the
late Donna.
But whether this particular plan
proves successful or not, there will
be no tame acquiescence in the
course of the court and the reaction
| airy conspiracy. There will be resis-
lance and agitation, and the Govern
ment will add every day to the forces
of the opposition. The next Douma
will be even more governmental
than the last The Government has
driven Moderates into the Radical
camp and has made revolutionists of
legal Radicals.
