PRESIDENTS ORDER
MAY CAUSE UPROAR
Congress Expected to OBJ
ject to Ruling on
POStmaSteTS.

A great uproar from the direction or
the Capitol as a sequence 10 the Fresl-
dents order putting fourth-elass post
masters under the civil service Is eN-
peeted as soon as Congress meets. The
order OF the President applies 20 four
teen States, mainly I'm the East. bat the
statement Is made that II il operates
wei it viii be extended
Members OF the House foresee that
il will be bat a short while. in all hlzeli-
hood. until the order is extended to
cover every state. and they will be
almost completely short Of patronage
Naturally, they resent the idea. A few
members Of Congress are glad TO get
rid of the trouble of hlling the pest
offices. but such is not the case with
the great majority.
House Helpless.
The question is whether the House
can do anything to get the order
changed. II is not believed any mOdi-
dcatiou or II can be had, and the only
resource left to the House would be
TO refuse TO appropriate for the civil
Service Commission so as to enable it
TO carry out the work OF holding eN-
aminations for an eligible list of men
qualified to be pustmasters.
1t Is expected this viii ne asitated.
Every year a powerful element In the
House tries 10 refuse support to the
Civil Service Commission and fails 10
accomplish its object 1t is doubtful II
any effort to cripple the commission
this year wiz be more successful.
DOm0cgats generally are expected to
favor the Presidents order, because
they have no say in the appointment
of postmasters now. and will be glad
10 see their Republican brethren made
rs helpless as they.
Various Views Taken.
Various views are taken OF the PresI-
dents new order. One Is that, as it ap-
plies to States where the opposition to
the President is strongest. it is in
tended TO strike a blow at that oppO-
sitiOn and TO give warning 10 other
House members what TO expect if Ad-
ministratiOn policies are not carried
out Under any circumstances, it il
pointed out, it VIII be impossible for
anyone 10 use the fourth-class post
masters for political purposes. It viii
increase the Importance of the Post
master General as he will be the single
head 20 which the fOuFth-cIass post
masters hereafter look for guidance.
and they viii be no longer dependent
on members OF the House.

STRANGE DISEASE KILLS
1,500 HORSES IN INDIANA.
Organs of Dead Animals Found to be
Infected with Long, Slender
Worm.

1t is estimated hat farmers in Pull
aski and Starke counties and those
in the southwestern part of Laporte
county have lost 1.5O0 horses sine e
early last summer from a disease OF
unknown origin. The horses, as Il
rule, when attacked by the malady,
droop as if consumptive. and finally
die. In few instances they recover,
bun when they do are mere wrecks
and have to be killed. One man
killed four that survived the attack
of the disease.
An examination revealed the fact
that the liver and other organs of the
dead animals were infected with long
worms. no larger than hair, and it
the popular belief are bred inside the
horses from minute eggs taken with
rle grass of pasture lands.
The loss of horses in the affected
district has d scouraged the farmers.
Many of them have lost every horse
they have and it is unsafe for them
to buy any more to do their fall
blowing. Out of seventeen horses
one farmer has six left and some OF
the six are unfit for Use.
1t has been noticed that mules are
not affected by the disease and a
horseman of Starke county has gone
to Kentucky to buy all the mules he
can get to shil into the infected dis
trict and sell to the farmers

Signs of a Severe Winter.

Already there are evidences to the
goosebone prophet that the coming
winter is ito be severe Just how Sc
we're cannot be foretold but there are
indications, he says, that last winter
will be remembered as exceedingly
mild when we go up against the real
thing next January. In the first place
the goosebone prophet says that the
leaves are falling too early 1t is not
time for the leaves to leave the trees
for a fortnight, but already many
lawns are beginning to bear evidence
of the approach of fall. 1t is noticed
that chickens moulted earlier this year
than ordinarily and poultry men say
they are more heavily feathered than
usual. Close observers say the squir-
rels are burying nuts deeper than usu-
al, another unf~.ling sign the ap-
preaching winter is to be OF unusual
severity.

REMONSTRANCE GONE.
German Township List Disappears at
Plymouth.

The mysterious disappearance of a
number of valuable papers including
the German township remonstrance
from the office of Senator Parks at
Plymouth is causing considerable anx-
iety and worry ON the part of many
of the persons directly connected with
the remonstrance case, which will
soon be called for trial
The papers were missed several
days ago by Senator Parks and it is
supposed that they were taken from
his office during his absence while at
tending the special session of the state
legislature. 1t is possible that they
were merely mislaid, but have not yet
been discovered.
A copy of the names of the signers
of the remonstrance, of course is on
file at the court house, but the original
signatures was the main evidence for
the case which is awaiting trial

FAILS TO FIND BURIED GOLD.

California, indicated by chart given
to him by dying comrade in war
times. Carl Overton, of Pittsburg,
financed the search and went with Mr..
Morse.
Colonel Morse's chart showed
where large cache of gold had been
buried about 1867, but the earthquake
OF two years ago had so changed the
contour of the coast that the locality
indicated could not be found. 1t was
Colonel Morse's second attempt to
locate the treasure.

SMALL CROWD
FOR DEMOCRATS
HON. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
FAILS TO PUT IN APPEAR
AN E-THREE BANDS
FURNISH MUSIC
FOR THE OCCA-
SION.

Thursday was what was supposed
to be Democratic Day in Plymouth.
Bills advertising the same read that
there would oe plenty of good music
and that Hon. john Sharp Williams
would deliver an address on the court
house lawn. In one respect were the
bills right. Excellent music was fur
nished throughout rlle day by The Bre-
men. Argos and Plymouth bands and
the Drum Corps of Green township.
The speaker Hon. John Sharp Will
lrams, however. seemingly had FORE
warning of the lack of interest among
Marshall county Democrats, and so
handed the 500 that did assemble a
lemon, by not appearing. He was ex-
pected in the morning and his failure
to put in an appearance caused the
reception committee much worry and
every train on the Vandalia, Penn
sylvania and Lake Erie roads was
carefully watched and met by the
bands. But TO no avail, Mr.. Williams
was not there
The committee did not give up hope
but continued to meet every train up
to the 1888, when the three bands
were marched to the court yard A
crowd of about 500 assembled, scarce
ly 200 voters. Rev Samuel Small
of Georgia was introduced by Pon.
Daniel Mcdonald, as the speaker, to
fill the place of the absent Williams.
AS we have said the music was ex.
cellent sthe speaker was there. But
the crowd 1t surely could not have
inspired the speaker in any great de-
gree to have to talk to the small band

ed chiefly of women and children.
There were not 300 voters wfuhin hear

the county certainly are not very en-
rhusiastic this year and If the enthu-
siasm of today is any sign, when the
votes are counted next month, it wili

GREAT VALUE OF MILITARY ENCAMP-
MENTS TO WELFARE OF NATION

The military maneuvers which
went on at Fort Benjamin Harrison
in the last few weeks, famiiarized the
people OF Indiana with the ap-
pearance OF soldiers from seven diff
ferent states, besides the regulars"
The States represented have been
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, West Virginia and Ken
tucky-tile five states carved out of
the old Northwestern Territory, and
Wes; Virginia and Kentucky besides.
The appearance of the troops from
these States, as we'll as their drill and
maneuvers, stamp them as real sol
diers. They looked like regulars and
showed great proficiency in drill and
action For the first time in the his
tory of the country it now has a
really trained militia, a body of we'll
drilled troops organized under State
and national laws, which can be de-
pended OH to render effective service
whenever called upon by the Cover
nors of their respective States or by
the President of dhe United States.
This has never been the case before,
for while volunteers could always be
had on call in time of need, there has
never before been a large force of
troops thoroughly organized, drilled
and equipped to render prompt and
effective service. This is a real ma
tional guard and very different from
the old State militia. lit took more

The Supreme court has reversed
judgment of the El5hart circuit court
in the case in which Henry Weller,
the Bristol miller, was charged with
violating the pure food law. Mr.. We'll
ler was charged with violating the
law in not affixing a tag to wheat
middIings turned out by him indicat-
ing their quality. The defendant en-
ployed Hughes & Arnold to defend
him, and when the case came to trial
Judge Dodge quashed the sffidavfs
charging violation of the law. An
appeal was taken, with the result that
the lower court was reversed. In
summing up the court said that "as
wheat middlings' are expressly named
in the act of 1907, requiring that feed
stuffs shall be tagged so as to show
the quality there can be no doubt that
the legislature intended the statute to
apply to It"
