at the mouth OF the Detroit river, ex-
ploded Saturday at Essex, Ont, caus-
ing great destruction to property and
the injuring of a number of people.

War Bills.

War is not only hell, as Gen. Sher-
man said, but it is an expensive hell
The world is today paying for the
cost of two recent and highly expcn-
sive wars, and yet some persons won
der where all the money goes. The
South African conquest cost Great
Britain cool $1,000, 100000 and the
. Beers must have spent sixth as
much in defending their little re2ub-
lies To get foothold in Manch'uia
and drive back the Russian armies
took tidy $1.1Oo.0oO,oOO from the
japanese treasury, while ambitions for
4 greater empire cost the car ST.
500 100000. In these two wars, not
counting the many millions which
Germany is still paying out in south
west Africa. the stupendous total OF
81, o00, 100000 was expended. A large
part OF this may be set down as ut
ter waste of capital

Editing the Tribune.

My attention was called to the fact
that Ananias in last weeks Chronicle
said MIR. Hendricks and myself were
| associate editors of the Tribune and
were conducting it as "knocker"
sheet against the town.
want to preface a few remarks
by saying that because it didn't come
handy | haven't written for the Tri-
bune for two months and whether it
is a case of the guilty fleeing with
no pursuers, or HE fear of us forget
ting him in his insignificance, / am
unable TO decipher Bear in mind
that instead of coming here to run a
paper in the interests OF the town and
community he came here to run one
in the interests of a druken scape-
grace for Congress and his hangers
on.
He was one of the eight that voted
to give away our electric lights in
stead of holding them for the city,
at the recent mass meeting of citi-
zens. Mr.. Hendricks was born and
raised here and have been here
nearly forty years and this punkin
head has been here or 4 years
Who would you expect to be inter-
ested in Plymouth and the surround
ing community, we two or this four
year old butterinski On the stair
way coming from the mass meeting
at firemen's hall this fedgling dis
played the lack OF good sense to say
that this city made the mistake of
its life when it fathered the water
works instead of disposing of them
At once to some individual or corpor-
alton | presume he had in mind
that Mr. Snoeberger wanted to buy
them a couple of years ago. Where
is the good citizen that would want
| it known that he was in favor OF sell
ing our water works? What do you
think of this fresh fish anyway He
said we were up to abusing good cit
liens and thereby knocking" against
| the town, referring to the printed
statement of facts concerning J. w.
Parks and the assessment rebate. il
telling tie truth makes us knockers
then he has taught us something
but DENY that he is able to discern
truth when he meets it. If Mr.. Parks
was sol DESTROYS of serving the dear
people why is he trying his best to
dredge Yellow river. O wad some
pow'r the giftie gle us, To see oursels
a others see us! etc But | am not
dealing with Mr.. Parks and his "in-
flooence" at this time. He'll get his
beatin' when the sign comes right.
You remember how during the last
campaign or | might say "the late
| onpleasantness" he would come out
| in glaring headlines after each law
suit and declare the Judge decided in
their favor, we licked I EN-, we killed
another bear; and ther the next day
they wotild trot up and pay the costs
| Ananias never dreamed at that fine
of such a thing as retrospective
view. 'Aint he a truthful and shining
light? Just the man to judge his
neighbor and tell him to take the
mote out of his eye, 'aint he? Moth

that you need quite bit of fixing

Strike Spreads.

An extension of the telegraphers'
strike to every part of the United
States and Canada is said by the
union leaders to be IA certainty. Ell
forts of the peace mediators were
spurned Tuesday and the national
executive board of the telegraphers'
union declared for war to the bitter
end.
Already the order which in effect
means a general strike has been
flashed over the country by Secretary
Wesley Russell. Out of courtesy TO
President Small, who is hurrying to
Chicago no formal order will be is
sued until Thursday
The Chicago strikers who are lead
ers in the movement are in war
like mood. At their mass meeting
Tuesday afternoon every reference to
a general strike was cheered to the
echo, while mention of the names of
Commissioner Neill and Ralph NJ
Easley was greeted with Kisses and
groans
1t is not the d0mmerciai telegraph
industry of the country alone that
the strikers aim to cripple, but they
are trying to- induce the railroad tel
egraphers and bring them out in
sympathy.
Messages which have been pro
nounced fakes" have been sent along
the railroad lines instructing railroad
operators not to handle commercial
business
While the strike leaders disclaim
all responsibility for such messages.
the railroad situation became so
threatening because of them that
Secretary L. w Quick of the Order
quiet the rumors in an official mes
sage sent ont from TIL headquarters
in St. Louis Tue day night.
He ordered the railroad telegraph
ers to strictly adhere to their con-
tracs with the roads and not be led
astray by false rumors.
No sooner had the national exec
utive board of the telegraphers'
union met Tuesday morning than
steps were taken to spread the strike
and make it supreme test OF
strength against the telegraph com.
panies

Situation in Persia.

The following cablegram received
at the state department from Ambas-
sador Leishman, dated Saturday at
Constantinople. relative TO the clash
between Turkish and Persian troops
on the boundary line between those
countries: Further investigation re-
garding the frontier trouble confirms
the correctness of my former opinion
that the Americans in Urumiah are
in no particular danger OF attack by
the Turkish regular troops
Leishman expresses the opinion
that published reports of the border
tronblc are exaggerated and colored
for political purposes. The fact that
Russia is the only nation that main
tains consulate at Urumiah makes
it difficult to obtain reliable informa-
ton from that point Mr.. Leishman
suggests that If the state department
is DESTROYS of keeping in close touch
with the situation it might order the
American consul at Tabriz to proceed
to Urnmiah and report.

Bare Indiana School Fraud.

BY the remuneration OF the school
population of Terre Haute system
OF attendance padding that has netted
Indiana cities from to $4,000 to
100000 annually is barred For more
than twenty years this fund has been
going on, the state being the loser.
In Terre Haute, according to the
report of State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Cotton, the enum-
Grafton, made by order of the city
school board in the spring, was
shown to- be 1900 too much for the
number of persons between and 81
years of age. This will lead to a
movement for a new basis of appor-
tionment of the state school funds.
A revision at South Bend caused a
decrease of more than 5000 and in
asmuch as Fort Wayne made the
protest against other Indiana cities
a demand will be made that Fort
Wayne be canvassed again.
Terre Haute'S first total was 1899
Fort Wayne's is $1,000, Evansville
$4,000 and next to Indianapolis.
While Terre Haute refuses to acL.
cept the revised total because it does
not stand the test with acual school
attendance, yet there was some pad
ding, as there has been in all the
cities for twenty years.
The probability is that the cities
have been drawing annually from
$4,000 to 100000 more than they
were entitled to and the rural dis
tricis were deprived of that much OF
the funds. The legislature will be
asked to make the school enrolment
the basis of apportionment.
One important reason for the en-
rollment basis is the fact that thou..
ands of persons of the school ags are
now in the parochial schools and
their education has no part in the
school expense of city.

Cuts Out High-Flung Latin.

Plain, everyday barnyard English
and no high-falutin' Latin for Tams
Jim Wilson The secretary of Ag-
riculture has given a rude shock to
the sculptors who heretofore have
been wont to- embellish architecture
and allegorical designs with inscrip-
tons suggesting linguistic association
with the old masters and the classics
He has even gone so far as to com
pei the stonecutters to rechisel the
inscriptions on the new agricultural
building, the wings of which have
been constructed ahead of the main
portion.
The new home for the department
which, when finished will have cost
about SO 100000, is now nearing com
pletion, and the secretary is taking as
much interest in its progress as
though it were designed for country
home for himself.
On the north shore are four pedi-
ments, in each of which are male
and a female figure, seated with a
shield between them. On these
shields are inscribed the four words
"Fructus," "Cereales," "Forestes'
and Flores"
A few days before leaving Wash
ington for the summer the head OF
the department came into the office
of his assistant and friend, DR.. Bever-
ly t. Galloway, chief of the bureau
of plant industry, who is also deepl
interested in the plans for the build
ing, and in the course of their con-
versation the pediments were consid-
cred These are in full view of DR..
Galloway's office
In glancing at them and in looking
at the photographs that had just been
taken Secretary Wilson asked:
Doctor, what do these words
mean? "Fructus," what on earth is
that?"
why, that's Latin for fruit, and
the others mean cereals, flowers and
forest" replied the scholarly Gallo
way
well, why in-don't we say so,
then, and cut out this foolish Latin?"
was the prompt reply.
Orders were then and there given
that the stonecutters erase the often
sive words and substitute up-to-date
United States"
DR.. Galloway closed the incident
by, remarking that it was just as well
to change them. as there was no such
Latin word as forest anyway, and
that, at least, would have to b..
changed

Uncle Bill Up Against 1t.

Bill Reed, living east of town Is
creating quite reputation as a corn
doctor" 1t is said that few nights
ago Bill saturated small piece oil
cotton with carbolic acid and placed
it on one of his pet corns. 1t worked
so well that he thought the cotton
not necessary and put the acid on the
corn in larger quantity or in other
wards" double dose" The result was
that Bill now wears a large rubber
boot with the entire end cut off and
is compelled to use crutches.

Indiana to Have Block Signals.

The state board of railroad com

order requiring all railroads operat-

their lines with the automatic block
signal system. This order has been
in contemplation ever since the dis
aster at Woodville on the Baltimore

have been using all their influence t.
prevent a perernpto'ry order to put
in the block safety device, but have
failed. The work of installing the
systems must begin at once.
