There are doubtless those who
feel embittered toward Governor
Hanly for determining that spec
ulating with public funds shall
not be considered among the
privileges of a State officer. That
sort of business has been carried
on for altogether too long a time,
and it is a good thing for the po-
litical morals of the State that
the Governor had the stamina to
put his foot down on it real hard.
South Bend Times.
The alleged plot of great cor
porations and moneyed men to
capture the Government of this
country and establish practical
oligarchy borders on the ridicu-
lous. Allowing that money comes
near reigning supreme in the
United States, the people are not
ready to surrender everything to
the huge combinations. x *If
trouble for lawless corporations
is near and if these corporations
see their own peril in the recent
elections such conspiracy as the
one suggested is more ludicrous
than ever. Men may buy city
councils, men may buy State leg
islatures and men may corrupt
the higher branches of this Gov
eminent, but when men by means
of money plan to capture the
country the mighty American
public will rise up and crush
these men whose heads have been
turned by the lust for gold.-

Postmaster Holding Mail.

Advertisements printed in the
Detroit and Chicago newspapers,
setting forth that Mrs. E. |. Lew
is OF Three Oaks, Mich, was the
owner of a business worth $780,
900, and that she desired to mar
~ a man with ability to handle
the same, literally flooded the
postofice with letters. Mrs. Lew
is failed TO call for her mail for
several days, at the end of which
time about 1000 letters bearing
her address had accumulated.
Then came a letter from Chicago
advising the postmaster to for
ward the lady's mail to Chicago.
The mail was not forwarded
whereupon a man applied for it,
but Postmaster Smith advised
him that, according to the postal
regulations, he would have to
hold the sa id mail pending an in
vestigation by postal inspector,
and the authorities in Washing
ton were notified, with the result
that an investigation is now in
progress here and in Michigan
City, where the same person is
said to have been conducting a
matrimonial agency.
1t is said the Lewis letters con-
tanned money orders, drafts, etc,
galore.-South Bend Times.

STORMS TO BE OUSTED.
Decision to Bring Action in Mar
ion County.

At a conference Wednesday, it
was decided to bring action in the
Marion County Circuit court to
cause a vacation of the office of
the Secretary of State by Daniel
E. Storms, who has refused to re-
sign at the request of the COVER
nor. At the conference were, be-
sides the Governor, Attorney
General Charles w. Miller, Pros
ecuting Attorney Benedict. OF
Marion county; w. A. Ketcham,
ex-Attorney-General of the State,
and Attorney Charles Smith.
Governor Hanly, acting under
provisions of Section 1905, R. s.,
1901, allowing for the employ
ment of special counsel. has en-
gagged Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Ketch-
am to assist the State and county
in the suit.
Two possible modes of action
were discussed, one to institute
quo warrantO proceedings
against Storms, and the other to
attempt to obtain his conviction
of felony. The quo warranto pro-
ceedings would be more in the
nature of an custer, which would
Immediately create the vacancy.
In case the second plan should
be used, conviction on a felony
charge would ipso facto, create
the vacancy.
In both of these proceedings,
information is filed before the
Judge OF the Circuit Court direct
ly, and the grand jury does not
come in as a factor. 1t is sup
posed that the information will
be filed by the members of the in
vestigating committee.

Gle Will Harris had been in poor
health for more than a year and
went to Kansas to live with one

some months ago, but had been
in a decline ever since. He was
most highly esteemed and was a
devout and faithful Christian. His
brother Daniel, died about two
years ago. The funeral took place

the last state convention, for
which, he intimated Chairman
Taggart and O'Brien were large
ly responsible.
Editor Barnhart, of the Ro-
chester Democrat, made probably
the most taking speech of the
convention. His county (Fulton)
presented no candidate but his
delegation was there to support
a man that would stand for pure
Democracy, whereby every man
would have the right to think and
vote and act as he desired, and
where the majority, and not the
minority should rule. He declar-
ed the voice of the people of his
party had been strangled by the
exercise OF autocratic power, and
charged by intimation that that
undemocratic power had been ex-
ercised by the national chairman
of the party in controlling and
placing a gag on the will of the
people in the late state conven-
ton.

COL. I. w. BROWN.
More About the Popular Hoosier
Bird and Bee Man.

Col. /. w. Brown has made a
new departure in his work in the
defense of birds and bees and has
gone south to add, not only to
his vast store of knowledge in the
field of naturalism, but to secure
pictures of birds to be found only
along the coast. He is preparing
series of illustrated lectures on
advanced ideas along his line OF
work, wherein beautiful moving
pictures will play an important
part in illustrating the points
more forcibly. The first picture
of this number is little girl feed
ing chickens and is so life-like
one has to rub his eyes twice to
be sure the scene is not real.
Birds, bees and bugs. their habits
and mode of life will also be por-
trayed and explained in the Col
enels descriptive manner. The
whole being not only instructive
but entertaining as we'll. The
lectures are especially for schools
and colleges where nature studies
are now finding an important
place in the students work. Col
Brown said when the necessary
pictures are made he will deliver
the lecture before some society
in Observation-Disclosures Repub-
ilcan.

LAKE ERIE & WESTERN
Operating Control to Pass to the
Michigan Central-A Bit of
Local History.

There is well-grounded re-
port that the Lake Erie railroad
will pass into the control of the
operating department of the
Michigan Central. and March IL
is set as the date when the
change will become effective. 1t
is announced that the manage
ment of the Michigan Central
and the Lake Erie at Michigan
City will be consolidated under
one management, with a single
trainmaster, chief train dispatch
er and master mechanic. This
will mean that the rolling stock
of the Lake Erie will be remark
ed with New York Central let
ters and that it will be improved
III quality. The plans seem prom
ising for the enlargement by the
Lake Shore of its station at La
porte and the use of that station
by the Lake Erie.
The old Laporte road, as it was
first called, has history of half
a century. 1t was first built from
Laporte to this place and its ter
minus was on the present side
track just north of the Pennsyl-
vania depot building. 1t was a
great day for the then little town
of Plymouth when the first train
of "kivered keers' came in and
stopped at its out-of-doors depot.
1t arrived each morning and re-
turned each evening, and was &C
comodating enough to wait for a
passenger if he was down town
and wanted to 60. The Kanka-
kee marsh. six miles west, was
considered unsafe and the train
slowed up when crossing. A train
went down one morning and

ter, and brother to Mrs. Julia E.

Later on the road was extend
ed to Peru, and was called the In
dianapolis. Peru and Chicago.
This opened direct route to In
dianapolis instead of the round
about way by Wanatah and Laf-
ayette. Jay Gould later got po-
session of the road and changed
the name to the Wabash. Dur
ing the last few years the road
has been in control of the Van
derbilt system and its freight
traffic has been largely increased.
The road has always been con-
sidered measurably profitable and
has never been in the hands of a
receiver.

sis and he was sixty-five years of

NO PASSES.
For Fair Are to Be Granted Dur
ing 1906.

The mo pass fever has struck
the members of the Indiana State
Fair Association and a plan was
submitted by President Mason J
Niblack for the absolute refusal
to issue passes for the coming
state fair.
Mr.. Niblack said in his paper
that there had been nearly 5000
passes issued to board msmbcrs,
the press, the friends of the asso-
citation at their fair last fall, thus
cutting the association out IF
gate receipts amounting to thous-
ands of dollars. He advocated The
wisdom of issuing no passes 10
others than the board themselves.
Under his plan not even the press
of indianapolis or other cities and
towns OF the state would receive
passes for running short notices
of features of the fair.
1t was believed by some that
this was too stringent, as many
of the papers would refuse to run
free advertising for the state fair
if this step is taken and advertis-
ing would cost much more than
the passes given if cash were de-
manded.
The State Fair has been impos-
ing on the Indiana newspapers
for years. Not one cent has been
paid for advertising purposes, but
columns have been sent out for
free publication. Passes to the
state fair are not of much account
to newspaper publishers.

INFLUENCE IS SEEN.
Sherrick Thought to Have Aid of
Powerful Friends.

The quashing of the conspiracy
counts in the indictment against
David E. Sherrick, ex-auditor of
the state, is in line with the per-
sistent rumor around the state
house since the indictments were
originally drawn that efforts
would be made to have these
counts quashed, due in part to
powerful influences that are said
to have been working to this end.
AS Sherrick and w. S. Wick
ard were indicted jointly on the
conspiracy charge, it is supposed
that similar action will probably
be taken with reference to his
case, when argument is heard.
If this is true, then Wickard will
be free, for this is the only charge
that was found against him.
Sherrick, however will still have
to face the grand larceny and en-
bezzlement charges.
1t is not at all assured that
Wickard will thus be freed, for if
the question is argued before any
judge, other than special Judge
Wilborn Wilson, it may be that
that Judge will hold differently
and hold that these conspiracy
counts are good. The counts are
the same in the Wickard indict-
ment as in the Sherrick indict-
ment, however, and it is reason
able to suppose that similar ac-
ton will be taken with regard to
them.
Rumor has it very strong that
the influences that are alleged to
have been at work with reference
to the conspiracy end of the
Sherrick matter will also be at
work with reference to the same
phase of the Wickard matter.
What these inhuencses are is
limited at on the streets, but moth
ing can be said other than they
are financial interests, and it is
said to be very much to the in
terest of certain financial irhu-
ences that all reference to the
conspiracy be stopped.

Marion L. Brewer, of Argos,
ex-township trustee of Walnut
township, was sued in the circuit
court on a note for $4,000 by the
State Exchange bank of Argos.
The note was signed by Brewer
while he was township trustee,
and he claimed that it was not
his personal note, but the note OF
Walnut township and therefore
that he was not personally re-
sponsible for its payment. The
trial occupied several days and
resulted in favor of the defendant.
