was caused from tuberculosis
with which he has been suffering
for a couple of years. He was

Winona Student is Hurled from
Train to Shocking Death.

After a few moments of con-
seriousness, Theodore Tangeman.
fifteen years old. and a student ii
the Winona Academy, died at
Winona Lake Tuesday evening
as the result of a fall from a
freight train in Warsaw about
4 80 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Death was due to a fracture of
the skull and perhaps internal in
%juries which rendered the boy IN
conscious from the time Of the
accident until only a few mo-
ments before his death.
Young Tangeman, whose home
is in Post, Iowa. was in his fresh
man year and Tuesday secured
permission from his teacher to
visit Warsaw. Instead of using
the electric cars. he evidently
thought it would be a fine prank
if he caught a freight train that
had stopped at Winona. His idea
was, no doubt, that the train
would stop in Warsaw for water
as many of the freight trains do,
but he became alarmed when the
Warsaw passenger station was
reached and the train was con-
stantly increasing its speed.
Afraid of being carried far
away from Warsaw, he made the
desperate resolve to jump off be-
fore it gained too much Roadway
and, without looking ahead TO see
the distractions on the right OF
way, hung from the side of the
Car as the train was going over
the Columbia street bridge. The
side girder struck him and knock
ed him off the car and he fell be-
tween the girders and the end OF
the ties to the street below. un-
conscious and apparently dead.
He was taken in Dukes & Plum
mer's ambulance to Winona Lakc
where DR.. Nehrbas attended him
until his death at z o'clock.
1t is thought that young Tango
man struck the side of the bridge
and afterward fell through the
ties to the street below.-War-

Luther Banks Found Dead.

The community was shocked
last Saturday morning to hear
that Luther Banks, one of our old
settlers, had died suddenly while
looking after his sheep. He had
risen from his bed earlier than us
ual on account OF wanting to look
after some young lambs and had
gone to the barn with his lantern.
He had placed a eve in a small
pen the night before and that
morning he had climbed into the
pen to look after her. While in
there he had taken a spell with
heart trouble. sat down in the
corner of the pen, leaned his head
on his hand and passed away.
The lantern had turned over and
was still burning when Mrs.
Banks. who had prepared break
fast a little later and waited un-
til she became alarmed at his not
returning, had gone and found
him. She spread the news to the
Omar Slough family and they in
return told others. TIE coroner
was summoned and rendered a
verdict in accordance with the
above. The funeral was held at
the Bethel church last Tuesday
morning and the services were in
charge of Rev. N. II. Sheppard,
formerly of the Christian church

Hospital Nurse WEEDS Negro.

Miss Grace Green. daughter of
a wealthy farmer of Kane coun-
ty, ILL.,, and a former nurse at the
Chicago Hospital, was recently
married to Ulysses Grant Chap
man, a negro elevator operator.
The marriage has caused an es-
arrangement between Mrs. Chap
man and her parents. who declare
she has disgraced the family.
The father of Mrs. Chapman is
c. s. Green, who, in addition to
being the owner Of a large farm
is assessor of Blackberry town
ship in Kane county. He refused
to discuss the marriage of his
daughter, Wednesday night, de
claring he wished to forget it.
AT the Chicago Hospital the
head nurse promptly declared
that neither Chapman nor his
white wife had any connection
with the institution now, al
though both formerly were en-
ployed there, the one as a nurse
and the other as the elevator boy.
According to the records the
marriage ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. Charles B. Sheen,
whose name does not appear in
the city directory as pastor of
any church in Chicago or other
wise. Mrs. Chapman left her
home two years ago to become a
nurse. and graduated from the
Chicago Hospital last fall.

MORTUARY
Death of P. S. Alleman.

Philip Schuyler Alleman, one
of the pioneer settlers of Ply
mouth, died at Minneapolis,
Mimi. this morning, March II,
aged 81 years. He was for al
most half a century a prominent
business man Of Plymouth, and
was for many years one of the
owners of the mill at Tippecanoe-
town. He was the last survivor
of five brothers who were prom
inent in this county, thirty years
ago. They were n. b.. John, Mel
son and Mac" We believe one
sister is still living at Wolcotts-
vile. He is survived by his wife,
two sons, Charles and Raymond,
and one daughter. Mrs. Mabel
Horner. Mr.. and Mrs. Alleman,
both being in failing health, went
to Minnesota a few years ago
where they could be with their
children.
Schuyler Alleman was a man
OF more than ordinary ability,
was very quiet but had a keen
sense OF humor, and always had
a ready answer for those who at
tackled his views. as every old
citizen of Plymouth will willing
~ testify.
His only near relatives in this
vicinity is a niece. Mrs. Belle
Spayde of Argos. His wife was
4 daughter of William Edwards
and is a cousin OF Mrs. Julia
Work of Brightside. The remains
were brought to this city and the
funeral was held from St. Thorn
as Episcopal church in this city,
Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

BRYAN TO STEP ASIDE;
JOHNSON FOR LEADER?
Revival of Campaign for Mime
sotan Deemed of Utmost
Importance.

In a special to the Chicago
Record Herald, Sumner, a II
respondent at Washington, says,
that for several reasons, Bryan
will step aside and allow John
son to make the presidential race.
According to the theory pre-
scented, Bryan will not be the
candidate and will voluntarily re-
fuse the nomination for several
reasons:
l.. He cannot be elected against
either Taft or Roosevelt. and is
convinced that one or the other
of them will be the Republican
nominee.
:. His ambition is to continue
the biggest Democrat on earth.
and he realizes that another de
feat at the polls will put him
down and out.
3. If his party is successful un-
der another leader he would be
the power behind the throne and
suffer no loss of prestige as the
idol of those who worship at his
feet.
T.. IF his party be defeated. as
he thinks probable with Taft or
Roosevelt heading the other tick
Of his act of Anaonanirnitv in
stepping aside because not the
unanimous choice of the Demo-
Gratis would boost his political
fortunes, increase the power OF
his Commoner and continue him
as the stellar attraction of the
lecture platform. He would have
the laugh on his enemies, who
have figured on getting rid OF
BRYAN by letting him hang him
self.

SAFETY OBSERVED
In the Use of Motion Picture
Machines.

One of the measures that will
most likely be pushed at the next
legislature, according to w. T..
Blakely, state factory Inspector,
will be a bill relating to the oper-
alton of moving picture machines
and the protection from fire
danger of those who attend NOV
ing pictures shows. Mr.. Blake
ly has given this question some
attention recently. and he finds
that Indiana is far behind the

Home and Patriotism.

(From speech recently delivered
at Wabash, Ind.)
A home in Indianal Before it
runs the country road. Behind it
lies the farm. About it are the
~sheltering trees. AT its hreside
children play. Beneath its hum
bic roof there is the glory of a
happy wife and mothers song.
From the chimney curls the
smoke that tells the toiler in the
fields of the welcome awaiting
him-the rest after labor, the
comforts of love and all those
things that more than reward
him for his work and make his
life not only worth living, but a
perpetual joy.
To this home the man returns
as evening falls. You hear the
slow rattle OF the wagon. He
draws the water for the horses.
The trace chains jingle as the
harness is hung up. He is a
young man. His cheek is bronzed
and red by air and sunshine. His
muscles are hard and firm: his
step strong and springy; his deep
chest and broad back powerful
he has been made masterful by
the useful exercise OF daily labor.
His life is all before him. The
beginnings of wealth are all
about him. Happiness is already
/, with him. He would not change
his place with a Sultan. a King
or Gar fretting on their gilded
thrones. He asks for nothing but
health to continue and long life
to enjoy the blessings hat God
has given him. And she whose
love has crowned his life asks
only that same boon. Their
prayers at night are for this and
nothing more.
Yet, all is changed by A call
that comes from the nation cap
ital. A single shot fired at the
flag transforms the purposes OF
all these lives. Abraham Lincoln,
the father of the nation, is asking
in the nations name the sacrifice
of this home. The young man an
swers without a word. The
young wife sends him forth with
tears-but she sends him forth.
He takes the wondering children
in his arms. then sets them down
and they cling in a nameless ter
ror to the mothers skirts. The
good-by to her-and he is gone.
Perhaps he goes to an unknown
grave. There is nothing material
in that war for him. There is no
money in it-no comfort; only
poverty and hardship. There is
nothing material in that war for
her-no wealth, no happiness.
Perhaps there will be penury and
want.
Yet he goes and she bids him
go. For what? For an ideal-a
thing that cannot be heard, or
seen, or worn; and yet a thing
more precious TO these humble
folk than bank account or rich
food, or silks, or pictures, or
works of art; an ideal-that soul
sof human life; that inspiration
which makes us something more
than animals and touches the
lowliest man with the glory and
beauty of the divine. That is
the kind OF man who saves his
country. feeds the sacred flame of
a holy cause, and finally gives it
victory.

Railroads Rushing Tons of Fuel
Into Chicago.

Because of the threatened
strike of coal miners and tieing
up of the mines, railroads enter
ing Chicago and Chicago coal
dealers are rushing thousands of
tons of fuel into that city. AL
ready some of the roads have
enough fuel to last them through
three months should a famine oc-
cur. Dealers with large contracts
for fuel with traction and manu-
featuring companies have also
prepared for the possible tie-up
of the mines and have enough
coal on hand in many instances
to fill their contracts for the next
three months.
Great quantities of. coal are
being brought to the city every
day. The Illinois Central rail-
road has brought in more than
1000 tons and will have at least
10000 tons stored by the end of
the week. This is enough to pro-
vide for its yard and suburban
service for some months. The
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
the Chicago & Alton and other
roads are equally energetic.
The Chicago & Alton, as we'll
as the other railroads, has been
getting ready for some time in
case a strike is called" said
George c. Charlton. general pas
senger agent. Most of the roads
are practically ready for a strike
any time. so much coal has been
stored. The dealers, too, are in
touch with the situation and are
preparing to take care of their
contracts"

Peruna:
"Last November I had catarrh and
felt so miserable 1 thought that 1 would
60 into consumption.
al tried SO many doctors and medicines.
but nothing did me any good, only
Peruna.
AFTER I began the use of Peruna 1 be-
gan to improve in every way. My head
did not hurt so much, my stomach is all
right, my bowels are regular, my appe-
tite good, my complexion clear, my
eyes are bright and am gaining in flesh
and strength.
81 think Peruna has no equal as q ca
tarrh remedy"
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de-
efeases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh
