Old Editor Retires.

Charles c. Powell tn oldest active
editor in Indiana, has sold the La
porte Republican to the Herald Print
ing Company and the Republican will
be discontinued. Mr. Powell was one
of the founders of the Herald and
was its editor for many years. When
the Herald and Chronicle were CON
soldated twenty-five years ago he ac-
cepted an appointment at Washing
ton and was there several years Lat
err he returned to Laporte and estab-
lishcd the Republican which has been
noted for "reminiscences of public men
and politics of thirty to sixty years
ago. Mr. Powell had been in poll
tics almost sixty years and probably
no man now living knew more prom
inent men of the war period than he
did. Old age and impaired health is
the cause OF his retirement. He will
carry with him the good will and best
wishes of the entire editorial frater-
nifty of Indiana

Wild Man Identified.

The wild man who terrorized
the country around Gary for several
days and was shot to death last week
in a desperate battle in which he
wounded six men, was identified
Monday as John Mares, a Bohemian,
who had been employed consider
able time in the Great Lakes Dredg-
ing Company says the Hammond
Times
Mares was identified by letter
written to his father, Matias Mares,
in Kri Tiscek, Bohemia, from where
John Mares had come. The letter
was found in the tattered clothing
of the wild man, and was left in the
possession of the Lake county cor
oner
"The devil says they are after me, y
wrote Mares in Bohemian, "and that
| must kill myself They will have
a fight if they get me- / want my
mother and my sister and my broth
er and my sweetheart to pray for
me. The devil says So"
The rest of the letter was ramb-
ling but there was vein that showed
that the man contemplated self-de-
struction more than the destruction
of others. A time card on the dredg-
ing company was also found among
the effects.

Labor Parade is Abandoned.

Chicago has seen The last OF Its
Labor day parades, at least Tor
seeral years to come.
The annual long march through
the streets by thousands OF union
lists, wearing the picturesque uni
forms of their trades, was aband-
oned Monday by the Federation
of Labor and the Associated
Building Trades as being an IAN
tiquated and luxurious method
of displaying labor's strength be-
fore the public With the two
leading labor bodies against the
project there is no possibility OF a
parade this year or next.
President John Fitzpatrick OF
the federation adised the unions
to save the money which they
would expend in buying uniforms
banners. carriages and bands, and
put it into a big defense fund,
with which he said labor may
keep a stiff upper lip and talk as
saucily as it pleases to employ
ers."

Prosperity for Preachers.

There has been some complaint
that salaries have not been raised
along with wag and the cost of liv-
ing, but apparently the time has ar
rived for a distribution of prosperity
among the salaried masses. The
movement begins in Delaware and
Maryland, where tn farmers are ex-
changing baskets of fruit for bas-
kets of money and considering the
question of fair division of the pro-
ceeds.
Farmers as a class are conservative
and are content to- let city statisti
clans sing loud exulting songs over
their Croesus-like accumulation.

Six persons dead, fifty more
dying, and 1880 suffering from
sunstroke, is the grim aftermath
of the Elks' parade in Philadel-
hpia, Pa, Thursday.
Heat, humidity, and poisoned
lemonade combined to make the
Elks' parade more of a grewsome
tragedy than a carnival of joy.
Philadelphia paid $150,000 for the
privilege of having the parade
pass through its streets. Nearly
a million men, women, and child
rem were packed in sweltering
mass in Broadstreet to witness
the spectacle. While the march
ers passed through the streets
spectators, stricken down by the
heat, fell to the ground until
Broad street looked like a battle
field after a cavalry charge.
And then after the heat and hui
nudity had done their worst there
came a terrific downpour Of rain
which. while it drenched tens of
thousands to the skin. put an end
to the havoc of the suns rays.

Leaps to His Death to Emulate
Young Woman.

Moved by a wild desire to imi-
tate the sensational dive to death
from the fifteenth floor of the Ma
isonic Temple taken by Miss An
ma Normoyle, 20 years of age, on
"Wednesday, H. Z. Berg of Chica-
go, leaped from the twelfth story
lof the Chamber of Commerce
building to the first floor of the
lobby and was instantly killed.
A newspaper found in a pocket
of the mans coat contained an
account of the suicide of Miss
Anna Normoyle, and showed that
before his leap he had read of the
death of the girl in the Masonic
Temple.
AS the leap was made just at
the noon hour, the lobby and hall
ways surrounding the inner court
way of the big Office building
were crowded with men and
women leaving for their lunch
con. The sound of the falling
body as it struck the tiled floor
was sickening and number of
women tainted. Two men walk
| ing on the main floor narrowly
missed being struck by the falling
body.

An anti Jewish riot has broken
out in the Polish town of Skenitz

The frequent rains have injured
the cut hay crop and postponed

usually do in old Indiana.

lust a Possibility.

Japan, undoubtedly, is peaceably
disposed toward us The feeling is
reciprocal Nothing is further from
the thought of either power than to
fly at the others throat That is be-
yond the pale of argument.
But international relationships
sometimes change The British
throne, that once combined with
Prussia to destroy Napoleon's army
at Wate-lO-, now connives with
France to hold exasperated Germany
at bay The European mower that is
nearest us in sympathy today is our
hated enemy of 1916 and 1912 and
1861. 1t was France that helped us
win our independence 1t was France
that stood by Spain an hoped to see
us humbled by her in the war for
Cuba.
A nation is for us so long as r
interests are identical with ours, or,
more accurately, JUST SO long as she
thinks they are But when we be-
come. or seem to her to have be ONE,
instead of a help to her advancement
an obstacle to her upward march to
power, then she will mark us for a
foe.
1t is to be hoped it is to be ex-
pected, it is to be confidently predict
ed, that peace will reign indefinitely
between Japan and the United States
But so long as there is a chance OF
the other thing, then any policy
which would leave us unprepared or
disadvantaged in event of war is I'M
patriotieslly and crimmally neglectful
and shortsighted.

Frank Brown Shot.

Shortly before o'clock Tuesday
afternoon Miss Florence Gray, an
inmate OF Pearl Coreys resort in
Michigan City and former inmate
of the resort just north of Clear lake
this city, shot and instantly killed
Frank Brown, better known as Tat
ers" Brown wellknown police char
acter, who recently served a term in
the Laporte county jail.
Several days ago, John Gallert of
Three Oaks, Brown and George
Chapman and Ernest Behler, also OF
Three Oaks, went to Chicago and
there had time" Returning to
Michigan City Saturday night they
had been spending much of their time
in the saloons and at this resort.
Brown it appears, was madly in love
with the Cray girl When the shoot
ing occurred the girl was at the top
of the stairway to the second floor,
while Brown was on the second or
third step. The bullet penetrated the
head and Brown fell backward
against Chapman The police were
called and Brown was taken TO St.
Anthonys hospital, but he died be-
fore the place was reached. He made
no statement His body was taken
to the morgue The girl and the three
other men we're taken TO the police
station, but the police are trying to
secure a statement from the woman
and the men before they inform them
that Brown is dead
The woman will be given a prelim-
mary hearing Wednesday, after
which she will be brought to the
county jail in Laport =, to be held UNI
til her trial in court The onl- state
ment so far obtained from her was TO
the effect that the shooting followed
a lovers quarrel and that Brown was
jealous of her because of the atten-
tons she received from other men,

Corea's Emperor Gives Up the
Throne.

After a conference with the eld-
Ter statesmen at 1 o'clock Friday
morning, the emperor finally
yielded and sigliified his willing
ness to accede to the request for
his abdication.
1t was decided to hold the alb
dication ceremony at 10 o'clock
Friday morning.
Much unrest prevails about the
palace and at another place a
crowd of 1000 is assembled. A
portier of this crowd assaulted
the esice of the Daily Kokumip,
but the mob was dispersed before
much damage was inflicted.
japanese Foreign Minister Ha-
|yashi arrived hate Thursday night
|receivng hearty welcome. He
drove Immediately to Marquis
lto,s residence
"A number of Coreans, calling
themselves the elder statesmen of
Corea, Thursday sent long let
ter to Marquis Ito, intimating
that the Japanese would receive
their support in fair dealing
toward the emperor, but failing
that they would die a martyrs
death, and that the whole nation
would do likewise. They denied
the court was implicated in the
sending of the delegation to The
Hague.
The Cabinet minister's again
proceeded to the palace Thursday
night for the purpose of urging
the emperor to abdicate.
1t is reported that the emperor
displayed great anger, and said
to the minister's that he occupied
the throne by right of inheritance
from his ancestors and that his
subjects had no authority to ad-
wise his dethronement, much less
to do so with the support of for
eigners.
After midnight a delegation of
elder statesmen proceeded to the
palace and argued with the empe-
ror, finally persuading him that
his abdication was the only solu-
ton of the difficulty.
Marquis Ito says that the cabi-
net in demanding the emperor's
abdication is acting on its own in
itiative and without knowledge
o. Japan's plans or desires.

WHAT CAUSES THE BENo>."

Frenehman Discovers How the Gale
son Disease Originates.
The work of constructing several
tunnels under rivers, requiring the
use of caissons or "air locks" has
caused a relatively rare disease to be-
come common in New York, and the
subject of some general interest. The
bends" as this malady Is called by
workmen, was first observed among
pearl divers, but it was q consider
able time before medical men under

ton, and then 1t was by IN accident
that the discovery was made.
A French investigator IN physiology,

his apparatus explode. The dog in the
glass bell of the compression pump

so suddenly died.
The only abnormal condition Bert
could find was the presence OF bub-
bles of air in the heart and. thet this
was an adequate cause for death had
been known since the time of Galen.
A careful repetition OF Bert's expert
ment has shown that the conditions
he found are almost present when
death results from sudden 'docom-
preston.
Studies made by medical men have
confirmed Bert's theory in its appli"
cation to man. Under ordinary con.
ditions a certain amount Of air pres

that a much larger quantity of air

results to the individual, in that these
