Presidents Speeches Eagerly Awaited

President Roosevelt left Washing
ton Sunday upon a trip that may
prove epochal. For a week hence the
eyes of the country will be focused
upon the executives path across the
states of Ohio. Indiana and Illinois,
and will follow him in his course
down the Father of Waters from Ke-
okuk to Memphis. Every hour of the
time until. in pursuit of large game,
he hides himself in the canebrakes
of Louisiana on Saturday for two
weeks of absolute relief from public
duty. his movements will be watched
with greater interest than when he
is at the helm at the capital.
The reasons for this peculiar inter
test at this particular time are sew
eral. There are sentimental, econom-
ic and industrial reasons and, of
more intense interest to the people
far and wide, political reasons Six
important speeches have been pre-
pared for delivery before the return
to Washington the latter part of Oc-
tober, and most of these will be spok-
en- prior to the vacation hunt. IN
doubtedly many impromptu speeches
will be sandwiched in between the
more formal addresses, at various
points at which brief stops will be
made.

Notice to the Public. Importance of
Records of Deaths and Births.

The Vital Statistic. Law passed
by the last legislature will be put
into force October 1st, by the State
Board of Heath. This law requires
doctors and midwives to report all
deaths, births and infectious diseases
they attend upon blanks supplied bv
the State Board. When no doctor or
midwife is in attendance, then re-
port shall be made by the household
ers.
These legal records are of the
greatest Importance to families and
TO the state. In hundreds of in
stances in the past. inheritances in
surance and pensions have been lost
because no legal records existed of
death or of birth. In one instance
in Indiana an inheritance Of $12, 900
reverted to the national treasury of
Switzerland, because the doctor had
not reported the birth of the person.
This record would have proved the
required relationship. Any family is
likely at any time to need records
of births and deaths, and all are
therefore interested IN having the
same reported and properly recorded.
Besides being of the utmost import
ance and value at unexpected times
to families and individuals, these re-
cords are essential for the scientific
control of sanitary affairs. Boards
of Health must know who is dying,
where they are dying and what they
are dying of in order to intelligently
conduct disease prevention work.
This information is given by vital
statistics. The State Board of Health
requests all citizens to cooperate
with physicians and health officers in
this important work by seeing to it
that correct records are made of the
deaths, births and contagious dis
eases occurring in their families.

Lapaz Items.

The farmer will have enough tax
to pay without voting for a street car
subsidy. Let us keep our money at
home for ditching and road improve
ment.
1t is likely that the school-building
in Lapaz will soon be condemned.
This will mean a new building next
year. This is a golden opportunity
for Lapaz to work for consolidated
schools and a commissioned high
school.
Nine-tenths of the farmers of
North township will vote against the
subsidy tax; not more than one
fourth of the citizens of Lapaz will
vote for it. Keep this in mind. AT
ter the election give an answer to
the question. How is this for good
guessing? This will be the las cleo
ton of the kind in this neck OF the
woods.
Hon. Daniel McDonald's communi-
cation against the subsidy tax which
appeared in the Plymouth Tribune
Of the goth ult. was read with inter
est by many in and around Lapaz.
The article is a campaign document
of the best class. 1t is hope the
next Legislature will give the subsidy
business something worse than a
black eve.

Announcement has reached here of
the death on Wednesday of last week
at his home near Lincoln, Nebraska,
of William Edward Thompson, one
OF the earliest pioneers OF Marshall

airy 1886 he and a comrade came to
Marshall county, and on the north
east side OF Lake Maxinkuckee erect
ed a log cabin, into which his par
ents and others found shelter when
they arrived on the 26th of July 1896.
Four years later, October %, 1910,
he was married to Martha Nc
Donald, the only aunt on his fathers
side of Mr.. Daniel Mcdonald of this
place. Eleven children were born to
this union most of whom are living
in Marshall county and in Lincoln,
Nebraska. His wife who survives

moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, thirty
odd years ago. where they have since
resided. "Uncle Ed Thompson" as
he was Familiarity called, was a hard
worker in his early days. and chop
ped down as many trees, split as
many rails, grubbed as many roots,
sawed as many boards with a whip
saw" during his early years in Mar
shall county as any other man that
lived here the same length OF time.
He made no pretensions to being
better than those with whom he as
sociated.
"But he lived for those who loved
him,
For those who knew him true,
For the skies that smiled above him
And awaits his spirit too.
For the good that needs assistance,
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that he could do"

Schafer Case Re- Opened.

Prosecutor Fletcher Of Bedford
Ind, held an inquiry this week, and
although all the witnesses were
sworn to secrecy, it develops that
the investigation sprung from a re-
mark by a young woman near Me-
dora, that she was possessed of in
formation that might unravel the
mystery surrounding the murder of
Miss Schafer, the Latin teacher, in
Bedford. some years ago. the most
mysterious crime ever enacted in
Southern Indiana.
A young man Was called before
the prosecutor and was subjected to
a strenuous cross-examination. Other
witnesses from. Washington county
were also called. 1t is said that the
prosecutor is being assisted by a de-
tective whose expenses have been
guaranteed by parties who have
pledged themselves to unravel the
Schafer mystery. The r~eopening of
the case is causing much interest
among citizens, who firmly believe
that the guilty party some day will
be known.

CROSS IS FOUND GUILTY.
Defense Will Ask for a New Trial.

The case of the State Of Indiana
VS.. Liberty Cross, for assault with
to commit a felony went to
the jury Tuesday afternoon at ASS
o'clock. AT 900 that evening a YER
dict of guilty was reached. 1t re-
quired four ballots to reach this de-
cision. The first was taken before
supper and resulted in s for %convic-
ton, 2 for a jail sentence. and 2 for
acquittal. Immediately after supper
a second ballot was taken resulting
before s to 4. The third gave 9
for conviction and 3 for acquittal. On
the fourth ballot the jury came to an
agreement, and found the prisoner
guilty.
Upon the announcement of their
verdict, the attorneys for the defense
notified the court that they would ask
for a, new trial. The arguments will
probahy+chcarf-during tfr -latter
part OF this SESSION. 1t IS probable
that no new trial will be allowed by
the court
Thus Plymouth is rid. for a couple
of years at least. of one of the most
disreputable characters that has mo-
and assaulted our mailmen, our
women and our children.
This is the same Cross and the
same case that the daily independent
and Weekly Democrat undertook to
defend and stated that there prob
ably was no ground for the arrest.
Now it is up to the supreme court
to rid us of another and more afro
cious criminal.
Slowly but surely the wheels of
justice revolve. Every dog has his
day.

Abdication of Portugal's Ruler Elk.
pected Within a Few Days.

Boycotted by practically all the
leading families in his realm, King
Carlos of Portugal, has weakened
under the pressure brought upon him
by the allied opposition party lead
ers and will probably abdicate within
a few days in favor o. the crown
prince.
Against political attacks the king
seemed impervous. The social cam
paign now being waged against him
is proving too much for him, how
ever, and he is said already to have
signihed that he prefers surrender to
a continuation of the persecution to
which he has lately been subjected.
The boycott, deliberately engineer
ed by Luciano de Castro, the Liberal
leader, eliminated Saturday with the
refusal of all the members OF the for
e.gn ministry. Of the opposition par
ties and of the council of state to at
enc the triple celebration in honor
of the double birthdays Of the king
and queen and the crown princes re-
turn from his African tour.
With the refusal to take part in
the reception, an intimation was Civ
ell to the king that the same policy
would be pursued with all royal func-
tons during the continuation of the
dictatorship.
Admitting that a palace reception
unattended by the principal men of
the kingdom would be a farce, Car
los abandoned the time-honored
method of observing his and his
queens anniversaries and announced
that they would receive their friends
congratulations on the arsenal wharf
when they went to greet the crown
prince-a plan by which the monarch
hopes to offset a turnout of the
common people the absence of the
aristocracy.
ouch fear was felt, however, OF a
popular outbreak, that extraordinary
military precautions were taken to
maintain order.
Four lines of troops surround the
docks and guard the streets. Num-
erous detectives are shadowing sus-
poets.

Fought Fire in Dress Suits.

The Valparaiso carriage-works was
destroyed by fire Thursday night, to-
gether with many buggies and two
automobiles, while three adjoining
buildings were badly damaged. The
loss is $4,000, partly covered by in
surance.. The members of the fire
department fought the fire in dress
suits, leaving the hotel where they
were holding their annual banquet
when the blaze was discovered, and
rallying on the scene of danger. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

FRED HILL ACQUITTED.
Hanes Case Will Be Called Mon.
day. No Court Thursday.

A jury vas se,ected and the trial
of Fred Hill for petit larceny was
begun Wednesday morning.
Witnesses that had been relied
upon by the state, changed their tes-
timony, and seeing how weak the
evidence was running, Prosecutor
Molter asked the court to either dis
miss the case. or instruct the jury
to acquit the prisoner. The latter
was done and Hill now has his lib
erty.
No court will be held Thursday,
owing to the absence of Judge Ber-
netha. nv.
Due TO the efforts OF Prosecutor
Molter, the Hanes case will be tried
Monday, in order to secure Liberty
as a witness.

then the railroads will go into court
