Those NewYork bankers "saved the
situation" by loaning few millions at
six per cent. AS the situation was
mostly of their own making and six
per cent was the legal rate of interest,
this does not seem to have been such a
remarkable move after all.

Justices Must Be Straight.

Attorney General Bingham has be-
gun crusade against justices of the
peace to compel them to pay to the
state all of its portion of the fines
charged and collected. One of his
travelling deputies is visiting the Of
fees of the justices of the peace and
will devote nearly all of his time to
that character of work.
He has found that the state has
failed to receive thousands of dollars
belonging to it, but in the places
where he has gone over the books
and discovered shortages, payment
has been made in most cases. The
state has received already from this
source, several thousand dollars, as
nearly all justices are showing a dis
position to settle without making
trouble. The attorney general be-
lieves that most of the justices are
short merely because they are unable
to keep their books correctly.
The crusade is not for the purpose
of starting wholesale prosecution of
justices who are short in the accounts
but to collect the money that is due
the state. The legislature at the re-
cent session enacted law making
It possible for the attorney general
to reach all these officials of courts
and to look over their books to see
whether or not the state has received
its share of the fines collected.

Court Puts Ban on Mediums.

In reversing a judgment which per-
mitted the will of Mrs. Albertsmeyer
to be probated. the Supreme Court
held that spiritualists should not be
permitted to control the practical af-
fairs of life.
Mrs. Albertsmeyer left a consider
able estate, but cut off her orphan
grandchildren with 81 each, it being
alleged that her husband appeared to
her at seance and told her that the
children were going to make trouble.
The court declared that it is right
for the wife to consult her husband 5
wishes, and that it is a well-known
fact that many of the brightest and
clearest intellects have sincerely be-
lieved in spiritualism and other vag-
aries, and that it cannot be said as a
matter of law that such belief is evi-
dence of. unsoundness of mind.
But" declared the court, when
such pretended counsel comes
through the dubious channel of me-
dunn as an oracle from one possess
ing knowledge of the hereafter, under
the solemn surroundings of the Sc
ance, is influence on a credulous mind
can hardly be measured. The indul-
gence of such pellet and practices

Lookout for Soap Grafters.

Plymouth women are warned to
look out for a set of grafters who
sre travelling out of Indianapolis sell
ing soap for firm in that city. The
soap is a toilet soap there being
twelve cakes in box, for which they
charge fifty cents. As the same price
prevails at the local stores there is
no inducement, but right here is
where the slick agent gets in on the
deal He offers to enlarge you a
picture "free" and about seven out
of every ten women bite at the bait.
They pass out photograph from
the home album, the agent agreeing
that the picture must be good in
every respect as the sample he car
ries which is very good.
In few days another slick indi-
vidual comes along and delivers the
soap, collects his fifty cents. He is
a collector and knows nothing about
your picture, the work, he says, be-
ing done in Toledo, o. He has
samples of frames which he offers
to sell you at a bargain, charging
meanwhile more than the same
frame could be procured for from
your local dealer. Six out of every
ten women grab at this scheme
through the oily talk of the agent
and, he takes $50 of your money and
passes on, having secured $3.50 from
you. Then you wait for your picture

sion Monday, in accordance with the
provision contained in the act author
izing an appropriation for the efec-
ton of monument ETC., at Menom-
inece village in this county, placed on
their records the following agree
ment:
Whereas, an Act was passed by the
last General Assembly of the state of

providing for the erection of monu-
ment at Menominee village in Mar
shall county, and The rebuilding of
the old Indian chapel originally erect
ed thereon, making an appropriation

tered into by the Board of Commits
sioners of Marshall county with the
State of Indiana to the satisfaction
of the Governor, making provision
for the control and repair of said
Monument and Chapel when complet-
ed, etc. Now Therefore,

Board of Commissioners of Marshall
county with the State of Indiana, that
when said State of Indiana completes
said Monument and Chapel, as pro-
vided for in said act, and fully pays
all expenses connected Herewith, the
Board of Commissioners as afore-
said hereby agree with the State of
Indiana to make provision for the
control and repair OF the same as pro-
vided in said act
This practically removes the last
obstacle in the way of building the
monument, and when the governor
appoints the three trustees provided
for in the act, who are to serve with
|out compensation, the preliminary
work will begin.

Walkerton A Dry Town.

The Anti-Saloon league has invad-
ed Lincoln township, which includes
the town of Walkerton, and blanket
remonstrance has been circulated
against every saloon in the township.
The league claims to have majority
OF the voters in the township attach
ed to the remonstrance. The saloon
interests have filed their revocation
cards with the county auditor. The
latter claim they will put up strong
fight and that they have secured
enough cards of those desiring to re-
woke their signatures on the remon-
STRANGE to make it insufficient. The
Anti-Salooh league, however, claims
a victory.
The Seventh ward fight is still on
and will occupy much of the time of
the commissioners court next week.
Both sides are claiming a victory
The Anti-Saloon league claims it will
have 1000 signatures by Friday even
ing, the date when the remonstrance
must be filed The liquor interests
claim they have sufficient revocation
cards to make the remonstrance Of
no avail. but the Anti-Saloon league
workers are laughing at the assertion.
A long drawn out hearing in the
commissioners court next week, If
the liquor interests bring every sign
er into court, will decide as to wheth-
er or not the ward will be free from
saloons for another two years.

Meat Prices Soaring.

Chicago's army of meat eaters is
facing a run of high prices which
threatens to force the man who does
not earn more than So a day to a
vegetable diet Meats of all kinds.
with the exception of the poorest
cuts of beef, have been rising stead
lily for three weeks, and dealers saw
that the advance will continue.
In some of the poorest sections of
Chicago, retail dealers have not
handled piece of meat, except beef,
for the last three weeks Lamb, pork
and other meats are beyond the
reach of their customers. The re-
tailers found that these meats were
spelling on the cutting blocks, be-
cause people could not afford to buy
them, and in consequence they quit
buying them. This condition is now
existing in the ghetto district.
Lamb has advanced cents a pound
in the last three weeks, and the big
wholesalers say that they cannot get
enough at any price to supply the big
downtown hotels, cafes and restaur-
ants.
Lamb is likely to go a cent a
pound higher in the next twenty-four
hours" said John Irwin of Irwin
Brothers Company, 1t has advanced
30 per cent in price in the last eight
weeks. The consumer thinks that
the butcher is getting rich, but retail
butchers are not making any money
out of lamb. We are paying IA cents
pound right now and by tomorrow
the price may be higher.
'The big packers say that not more
than 10000 lambs are coming into
the yards daily. The firms out there
could dispose of 10000 alday.
Cheap beef is going to go higher,
too. Texas steers will not begin COM
ing into market for amonth yet, and
in the meantime the poorer cuts of
beef will advance"

A number of prominent farmers of
Charlestown township, this county,
have originated plan for the build
ing of free gravel roads proposed in
that township. The bids submitted
for the work were so high tha. the
farmers decided to form a corpora
tion among themselves and have the
work done under their own supervi-
sion, thus being assured that it would
be done satisfactorily and save them
selves the profit that ordinarily goes
to the contractor Should this plan
work out successfully. as it is believ-
ed it will, the residents of other town
ships will adopt it. AS far as is known
this will be the first time such plan
