Insurgent Credence.
The Presidents prestige as the head
of his party has been constantly wan
ing, in spite of the very earnest at
tempts to effect a restoration. Open
criticism of him in the senate and
the house by insurgent members of
his party has been telling. 1t is dawn

gents are gaining credence with the
country. They have made wonder
full record OF winnings at both ends
of the Capitol-always with the aid
of Democratic allies-an it is the old
story of the winning combination. The
country begins to pay attention to it
and bestow confidence in it. The
President has been in open and I'M
| disguised opposition to the insurgents
in recent months and the success of the
insurgents notwithstanding such handi-
caps does not augment popular conf
dence in the President as the leader
of his party.
The fact is that the criticisms which
| the Democrats and insurgents voice in
debate, the regulars emphasize in
private conversation. The other day
the Democrats rung the changes on the
President S wanderlust and refused to
allow a new appropriation for the

Things had come to such a pass that
certain leaders. who were offering
themselves as vicarious sacrifices to

went to the White House and besought
him to cut out some of the travels

Rhode Island.

It is rather noticeable that there has
been almost no interest in Washington
over the new senator from Rhode Is
land. One would assume that the Sc
lection of a man to the seat now held
by Senator Aldrich, who has probably
been the most influential of all the
senators, would quicken inquiries. But
the facts are that Washington IS
chiefly interested in the news that
Senator Aldrich is going to quit. 1t IS
satisfied that lis successor will be
some Republican, who viii have seat
in the back row and viii hardly be
known by name for five or six years
after the day he has appeared to take
the oath Of office.

Fallen Nantes.

The leadership in senate and house
has been shattered by the winter s
operations. The Republicans, who
have headed the party organizations
in senate and house, nave in reality
had terrible winter. They have no
heart for the fierce campaign of the
summer and autumn. Practically to
man they believe there is little more
than forlorn hope. 1t is a sorry spec
tacIe indeed by comparison with the
conclusion of Republican congressional
sessions for the past sixteen years.

This estimate given official

the result of studies by Frank

the available data, not only for
the United States, but for the

chemical point OF view. Mr..
Becker on the other hand, dis
cusses the question in a paper on
The age OF the Earth from a
more philosophical point of view.
The age of the earth has all

largely without any definite
agreement.

Classified Bids Save State Money

That the state has been saved
much money by means of the
classified notice to bidders which
is now used by township trustees
in obtaining BIRDS is evident from
the reports sent in to the state
board OF accounts by the trus-
tees. The classified notice was
adopted for the purpose OF
giving the small local dealer an
opportunity to enter into COM
petition with large dealers in bid
ding upon township supplies.
The hist divides the supplies
into classes and the dealer can
bid upon any class instead OF
upon the entire amount. The
trustees say the class OF goods is
much better than under the for
mer system and there is a great
saving.

BURGLARS
FO|LED IN
ATTEMPT
BREAK FOUR WINDOWS IN
RESIDENCE OF CHRIS
TIAN FISHER TRYING
TO GAIN ENTRANCE
Thieves Took House to be De-
serted at 9:30-Frightened
Away by the House
holder.

Burglars attempted to force
an entrance into the residence
OF Christian Fisher on west Ell
ferson street during the circus
performance Tuesday night. Four
windows in different parts OF
the house were broken in the at
tempt to unlatch the windows to
effect an entrance. The fact
that three of the downstairs Win
dows which were tried by the
thieves could not be forced, saw
ed the house from ransacking.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher did not
attend the circus Tuesday and
retired at 9 oIcock. About
half hour later, Mrs. Fisher
awakened her husband telling
him that the window opening
from the upstairs hail, over the
roof had Just broken. MIR. Fdsh-
er awoke to hear the glass falling
from the window upon an cleo
trio light, located just below the
window. The room occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher is located
within a few feet of the window
broken. Mr.. Fisher was unarm-
ed, but rushed into the hall, and
pressed the BUTTON, lighting the
electric lamp just below the win
dow. A rush of feet over the
tin roof indicated the flight oil
the prospective burglar. Mr..
Fisher then partially dressed and
descended the stairs and rushed
from the house, in an attmept to
head his nightly visitor off.
There was no sign OF Mr.. Burg
lar, however. Upon investiga-
ton, it was then discovered that
the thief had broken three other
windows downstairs, in an un-
successful attempt to enter.
Strange to say, all OF the win
dows tried, two of which open
ed into the kitchen and one in
the dining room, were impossi-
bic to open. A ladder taken
from the barn, furnished the
burglar access to the roof and
upstairs window. Had Mr..
Fisher been armed, by delaying
a few minutes, the burglar could
have been easily captured.
Visited Before.
Christian Fisher has been visit
ed before by burglars. the time
being in 1902 when the first car
nival came to Plymouth. AT
that time thieves gained entrance
to his home, and carried away
about 800 worth OF Jewelry
and clothing. AT that time the
residences of Henry Hum
richouser and DIR. Knott were al
SO visited.

Scientists are now agreed that
the eczema germs are lodged not
in the outer skin or epidermis,
but in the inner skin. Hence, a

pores.

patients the standard prescription

WILL BE TRIFLE
ABOVE AVERAGE
CROPS IN COUNTRY SHOW
SATISFACTORY YIELD
THIS YEAR.
Year is Good One. Especially for
Corn and Wheat-Eruit is
Almost Totally Lost.

Despite the very lateJ frosts
and frequent dry periods, crops
in general throughout Marshall
county will prove slightly above
the average and considerable in
advance CT other years when the
weather conditions were similar.
The corn crop Will show a par1ic-
ulariy good yield, growers re-
port, the infrequent rains after
planting giving the farmers am
pie time to clear the fields OF
weeds and to prepare the grain
for rapid growth. The year
will prove a good one for wheat,
while rye and oats also indicate
a satisfactory yield.
Growers state the fruit crop
is practically total loss for the
year, there being very small
yidds OF any varieties Long
periods OF drought also badly
damaged the crops of hay
throughout the country and the
total yield will prove very small
compared with other years. Clo-
yer hay, however has shown a
good yield in many sections and
not few growers will harvest
a second crop. The hay crop
for the state and county, it is
expected will show only about a
half yield OF average years.
Timothy hay proved almost a
complete failure, farmers an
nolnce, fewer fields being sown
than usual. The quality was
greatly injured through an album
dance OF white top. Many of
the farmers are planning to es-
cape the need OF timothy hay by
cutting nearly their entire crops
of corn for forage.
In many sections farmers have
commenced tlreshing. In the
other localities it will be started
before the middle of next month.
Growers who have completed the
task of threshing state the wheat
crop shows a yield of from IS
TO 80 bushels of grain to the acre.
All report the grain to be OF
good quality and fairly heavily
grown.
The thrcshing OF oats has also
commenced in many sections of
the county, showing the grain
not to be so sound as was at first
hoped. Although a light yield,
due to the long dry periods.
the year will prove an average
one, it is expected. Rye was
similarly affected by the periods
OF drought and is light, but will
prove about an average crop.
Despite the almost complete
failure OF the early potato crop,
the late yield promises to be es-
pecially heavy, due, it is thought
Ito an almost total absence of
potato bugs during the past sew
eral months. Growers are un-
able to explain the decreased
number of the pests, but MAIN
tain they have shown in fewer
numbers than at any time for
several Years.

are the water supply, are alarm
