GIVES UP SALES.
Postmaster Steiner Will Turn
Business Over to Son
Harold Entirely.

Monroe Steiner, the present
Postmaster, has decided since
taking his new position to accept
no dates for sales whatever. His
son who is a veteran in the busi-
ness will still retain his head
quarters at Marks, CRUDE and
Harley's hardware and on sales
to immense for his own ability
will furnish some of the best
help that the surrounding coun-
try affords in the auctioneer line.
He wishes to extend his most
hearty appreciation to the
many friends that he has spread
out over this and other adjoining
counties and deeply regrets
transferring to new position so
that he will not mingle with
them SO often but nevertheless
he desires TO still hold the friend
ship to these people who have
been so loyal to him for the past
fifteen wears.

from Plymouth to Auburn, Ind,
and will be checked out of the
local office on Thursday of tilis

The change for Bussard means
quite an advancement to a larger

The change was decided upon by
Vandalia Officials, before whom
Bussard appeared at Logansport,
on last Saturday. Mr.. Bussard
was loath to leave Plymouth and
tried TO retain his position here,
but to no avail.
Mr.. Bussard has resided with
his family as Vandalia agent in
Plymouth for six years, coming
here in 1904. His two daughters
Mayme and Grace entered the
local High School and gradual

agents at Lbgansport Monday at
which meeting he delivered an
address. Recently Mr.. Bussard
read paper before the agents
meeting. which gained state wide

Knott-Shunk Nuptials
Valparaiso Messeger)

Valparaiso Messeger)
One OF the prettiest, albeit
quiet weddings recently solem-
nized in this city took place
Tuesday evening IN the home of
Rev. Father Hogan, rector of
St Paul's church, when Mr..
Harry Knott of Plymouth, Ind,
and Miss Katherine Skunk, of
this city. were made one. On ac-
count of the popularity of the
bride, and her social prominence
in this city the event for several
weeks had occupied the atten-
tion anil undivided interest of
rather an extended circle of
friends.
The wedding took place, as
stated. in the presence of a very
limited number of the friends of
the contracting parties at $50
O'Clock. The attendants were
Misses Ruth Wilson and Mary
O'Keefe. The simplicity of the
affair was accentuated by the en-
tire lack of social incidents pre-
ceding and following the cere-
mony This is evidenced by the
fact that the 7:1j train to Chi
cago over the Pennsylvania bore
the happy couple to the tenn
porary home in that city until
the groom's graduation a year
or SD hence from the medical
school he is now attending. The
bride was cfarmingly gowned in
gray.
Miss Skunk has been a resi-
dent of this city for number
OF years. She is a native Fort
Wayne girl. but m childhood
adopted" Valparaiso. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Skunk. and was formerly en-
ploye1 in the local telephone ex-
change. There is a tinge of the
romantic in the fact that the cou-
pie became acquainted wl,sn the
groom attended school here sew
eral years ago preparing himself
for the study of medicine. Later
he attended Wabash College, but
the friendship started here event
ually eliminated in an attach
nIent that sent from gravitation
towards the hymeneal altar.
Harry Knott is the son of DR..
and Mrs. ID. c. Knott of Ply
mouth He is a graduate of the
Pkmouth High School and Ia
well known and has many friends
in Plymouth.

Charles Kendell With Many Aliases
Brought From Logansport Sunday

Charles Kendell, alias Charles

selling chances on a horse,
which ne said was to be raffeled
off at Mentone. The offence for
which he must stand trial, is for
selling a chance to J. H. Cheno-
with. farmer residing six miles
northeast of Bourbon. for ten
dollars. Kendell sold the ticket
to Mrs. Chenowith, shortly after
Christmas last year. He told this
victim that he had a horse at
Mentone which he was raffeling
off, and was selling chances.
Mrs. Chenowith paid ten dollars
for chance which he gave her
and ireard no more of Kendel!

ed a letter written from Logans-
port, telling her that she had Won
the horse, and asked her to mail

OF freight on the horse. Cheno.
with had fong been suspicious,
and wrote to Long that he would
not send more money, until he
saw the horse. This latter letter
was found upon Kepdell when
he was arrested in Logansport.
Arrested on Suspicion.
The arrest of Kendell at Lo-
gansport was accomplished
merely on suspicion. He was
practicing his game in that city,
AMI had secured number of VIC
Tins IT is alleged, While endeav-
oring to sell 4 chance on his fic-
ticious horse, on the streets of
the city, he was arrested by Lo-
gansport officers on suspicion.

Chenowitll, in Marshall county
was found. Accordingly the
Chief of Police of Logansport
correSponded with Sheriff Voreis
concerning the operations OF
Kendell in Marshall county. |
Voreis phoned to Chenowith, |
and learned of the sale of lottery
tickets, and went to Logansport, |
bringing back with him the Of

names, giving the name of Chas. |
Hogue to Mrs. Chenowith. He
sold similar tickets at Logans-

A couple of the tickets which
were written with a pencil were
found in his pockets when he
was arrested. His arrest at Lo-
gansport was made on last We'd
nesday, and he was brought to
this city Sunday evening. on a

Young's court, charging lottery.

Kendell is a poorly clad indiv-
idual, OF not over intelligent ap-
pearance. The tickets which he
sold were crude affairs, which
would seem impossible to pass
off as he did. His non-assumine
no doubt aided him
in the sale of the lottery tickets.

would not have increased to such an
extent. These same figures further
prove that the extreme limit of down.
ward revision has been reached, and
that to cut the schedules further would
invite disaster. The balance Of trade
is against US at the present time and
the country is being drained OF gold to
make up the deficiency. Another re-
duction would close the factories, mills
and workshops and throw hundreds Of
thousands of workingmen out of en-
ployment and a panic would inevitably
result.
in this connection the customs house
returns for March are exceedingly in
teresting, and show the effect of down.
ward revision. In March the dutiable
imports were $50, 1872, against ST.
5S7, 1926 in March of last year-at the
rate of nearly $500, OOo. 900 for the full
year. Practically the same increase is
noted In the non-dutiable imports.
For the nine months ending March
the total imports were s1.1S4. III, 166. an
increase of $2s5, 245,2s1 over the corre-
spending months of last year. Exports
for the same period were 1885,. 945. 40s,
leaving an excess of exports amounting
to $16s, ,2s7, or s17s. .755 less than
the excess for the same nine months of
the preceding year. In March of this
year the imports exceeded the exports
by s19.254.s13.
Under the operation Of the Dingley
law the trade balance in our favor was
$500.00o,O00 a year. Now it is against
us to the extent of 100000, 900. and only
the extraordinary prosperity of the
United States at the present time pre-
vents just such conditions as prevailed
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland.
Vice President Sherman sounded a
note OF warning when he declared that
IF we do not anticipate and prepare,
if we open the custom gates too far
lanche of foreign goods that will close
our mills and drive our laborers to idle
ness. Then will wages and prices fall,
and, compared to the consequent ca
lamity and disaster that will follow,
the depression Of 1885 will be as a
summer shower compared with an
equinoctial storm"
Mr.. Sherman went further and in
quired whether it would not be wise
to a little better protect our own labor
and industries instead of sending
abroad our gold to pay cheap labor in
foreign countries"
In the face of the facts regarding the
result of any further attempt to re-
duce the tariff rates, the Democrats
and insurgents are going before the
country and demanding such reduction

WARRING DEMOCRATS.

The star of Tom Taggart is in the
ascendancy in Indiana, and Democratic
prospects have gone glimmering in con-
sequence. The victory of 1908 proved
too much for the Hoosier Bourbons,
and a fight has been started over the
selection OF a senatorial candidate that
will split the party wide open.
The Democrats never could stand
prosperity. Since the time when Mar
cy proclaimed that to the victors be-
long the spoils, they have fought over
even the scraps and crumbs. Mr.. Bry-
an bUtted into the game in Indiana and
advised the selection of a senatorial
candidate by the state convention. Tom
Taggart wants a statewide primary.
The party is divided into two hostile
factions, and defeat at the polls is GER
tain, no matter which side wins.

THE THIRD DEGREE"

The judiciary committee of the SEN
ate. through Senator Sutherland, has
introduced a resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee OF FIVE senators
TO investigate the third degree" meth
DDS of extorting confessions from pris-
oners charged with crime, and also the
practice of employing detectives in the
espionage of Jurors.
While there may be some excuse in
these days of graft for watching jurors.
there is none whatever for the torturing
of supposed criminals in order to make
them confess. Under the law of the
land, a man is presumed 70 be innocent
until he is proven guilty, and is not
subject to punishment before his trial.
BY the application of third degree
methods, innocent men are frequently
tortured until they confess crimes
which they never committed and are
compelled TO stand trial with such con-
fession in the hands of the prosecution,
which is an outrage upon all true sense
of justice. as well as a violation of the
constitution Of the United States. Even
