Any person in the state of New York who is proven guilty of driving a horso to death, can be sent to the penitentiary for two years. What a pity every state in the union does not pass such a law! There are men in all communities who are so brutal in their make-up as to be

unable to appreciate the benefit "to be derived from one of the noblest animals in existence. Mrs. Chester Borton, of Englewood, attended the funeral of Mrs. T. A.

He was here to attend the funeral of Mrs. Borton. The Indiana Traveling Men's association, of South Bend, has not proved a grand success, and it has disbanded. It is said they have $3,000 to pay a debt of $10,000. The county court was occupied all week in trying civil suits, which were submitted to the court. They were minor cases setting aside deeds and similar actions. Rev. F. M. Elliott, of Crawfordsville, well known by many here, will preach in the Presbyterian church next Sunday morning and evening. The public is cordially invited. There have been only two marriage licenses issued since our last publication. They are: Joseph Goodyear to Ida Bell Ellinger, and William Zumbaugh to Cora B. Kimmell.

Mayor Swindell has returned from Kansas where he has been the past ten days, looking after his landed interests, lie says it is very dry there and unless they have good crops this year, thinks Kansas will be in as bad condition as Nebraska. In Illinois there is added an excellent feature to the law entitling women to vote. It is this: When they appear at the polls to deposit their ballots they are not compelled to tell their age, only to affirm that they have passed the age of twenty-one years. An entertainment of war songs and scenes, recitations and tableaux will be given at the cpera house Friday evening, April 11), under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. The program is a splendid one and it will be a grand treat for all who attend. The school census just completed, shows a grand total of persons of school age, six to twenty-one years, of 1,1'JO.

Edgcrton, Ohio, Earth: John Kuszmaul moved his household goods to Plymouth, Ind., Thursday of this week where he will reside in the future. Mr. Kuszmaul has secured a position as foreman in a basket factory in Plymouth. Mr. and Mrs. Kuszmaul will be

missed by their many friends in Edgerton, all of whom join in wishing them a very pleasant home in their new location. John Sell was taken to Logansport Tuesday by Marshal Myers and Deputy Sheriff Black. Sell has been an inmate of the insane ward at the county farm for some time, but, his condition becoming worse, it was thought best to confine him in an asylum. That Republican man has enough self-conceit to accommodate a whole township. When he commences to tell about his "scoop," those who are not acquainted with the town would think he conducted the only sheet in the county. Just watch him "scoop" in the county printing. We desire to impress upon the minds of our readers the fact that an entertainment will be given at the opera house this evening. This entertainment is under the auspices of the Presbyterian church, and all who are familiar with their efforts know it will be worthy of patronage. The grocery firm of Suit & Orr dissolved partnership on Wednesday, Mr. Will Suit having purchased the interest Mr. Frank Orr. Mr. Suit is well known to the grocery traders of Plymouth and will, by a continuance of fair treatment and thorough courtesy, make his store one of the best in town. S. L. McKelvy, of Findlay, Ohio, was here this week looking after his city property, paying taxes, etc. Sam has a farm and several lots adjoining Cedar Lake and expects to build a cottage there this summer. He looks and talks just as he did when he was the leading real estate agent of Plymouth. A lucky runaway occurred on Monday afternoon. Mr. J. A. Molter left his horse tied at the Ft. Wayne depot while he went inside on business. The animal broke away and ran down LaPorte street to his owner's office where he was stopped and tied. Except several breaks in the harness, no damage was done. While talking about needed improvements on our streets, sewers, etc, we are led to remark that in our travels we have never seen a city the size of Plymouth that has as well kept and properly graded streets. While there are places that could be put in better shape yet as a whole, they are far ahead of the average. Commencing this week the Novelty Company institutes an innovation. In the morning work commences at 0:15 and at noon at 12:45. In this way a half hour is made up each day and the factory will close at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoons. It is a good way to do and the men will appreciate the three hours each week to spend outside the workshop. We present to the public this week an ad representing the Cash Grocery now owned by J. E. Snyder, formerly Feller & Snyder. Mr. Snyder is one of our hustling grocers and does not propose to keep his bargains hid under the counter. Watch his announcements each week and take advantage of them. Our readers know the maxim of a penny saved. The entertainment given Monday evening at the M. E. church was well attended and gave very good satisfaction. The evening's program was a pleasantly varied one and thoroughly enjoyable one. The Epworth League choir sang into the phonograph and the selection was faithfully reproduced, as were also a couple of recitations by two young boys. Messrs. Moon & Grant, the new firm of contractors in our city, have opened their place of business in the old flouring mill near the L. E. & W. railroad depot. The young men are hustlers and are pushing themselves rapidly to the front, and by excellent work and close attention to business will soon have a prosperous trade. They will construct their house furnishings and have already several contracts on hand which must be fulfilled this spring. We notice that the railroads are using the running switch in their switch work in Plymouth. This is contrary to law and is very dangerous to pedestrians and teams on the crossings over which they make the kick as well as on their own sidings. It would be well for the city authorities to look the matter up and put a stop to the practice which is a menace to life and limb of many who are forced to cross the railroad tracks while such operations are in progress. The local branch of the Georgia coir ony met at Haag Bros.' store on Saturday night last. Rev Lindwell, of La Paz, was present and spoke to them on the subject of the Georgia colony and at the close it was unanimously decided to go there. The colony in various parts of the United States has voted to take the land offered them and the Marshall county branch will be with them. The local branch has about 400 members and is enthusiastic over the prospect. The- Monticello, Ind., Press, in an article referring to push and enterprise, in an effort to awake the citizens of that town to the good results of manufacturing enterprises, points to Plymouth as an example. Tho editor tells his readers about tho Novelty works of this city and the benefits to be derived. It does seem very strange how people who live outside our city can more readily discern benefits our eity derives

We have always made it a point to back up " ads " with reliable Merchandise, so that the effect would be lasting on the buyer. Almost any one can write "ads" or get someone else to write for them, but do they back up their saying with reliable goods? The Markets are Full of Unworthy Fabrics. AVe have kept shy of them as we will handle only such goods as we can with confidence guarantee our trade. This week we are working a special sale on our $10 AND $8 LINES of Men's All Wool Suits in Cassimeres, Worsteds and Cheviots, in all styles. Acknowledged by all equal and better made than competitor's at from 12 to 315. you want a Child's or Boy's Suit, If you want a fine Shirt, Hat or Tie. If you want anything for Men or Child, We are headquarters, M. LAUER & SON., " ONE PRICE OUTFITTERS."

from such enterprises, while a great number of our own citizens fail to comprehend the benefits thus gained by having in our midst a business that gives employment to so many. Our neighboring exchanges which have so courteously mentioned the Independent in regard to publishing a daily and commenting on Plymouth and her business men for their progressiveness, we wish to thank for their kind notices, and remark that a daily in Plymouth will be one of the features of her progressiveness in a short time. It is a necessity to meet the advancing line of local prosperity which is coming to our city without the aid of boom articles and an outlay of enormous sums of money. One of the most contemptible practices that can be pursued by any man has broken out in Plymouth again, and bids fair to be the end of a great many fine dogs. We refer to the surreptitious poisoning of the above named animals, two cases of which h3ve come to our notice during the week. Dr. Burkett lost a fine blooded dog by this means and Mr. Barney Ocker saved one only by hard work after a big dose of poison. If the perpetrators of such deeds could be caught, they cannot be dealt with too severely. The people in our little sister city to the south of us, Argos, are getting a great move on them this spring. We learn through their hustling paper, the Reflector, that new buildings are being erected and that he will have to look ; up a new location to give way to a new building. That's right, Brother Wat-1 son, a man who runs a paper in a town that has "get up and git" can move into a tent during the summer, and can then thank the good Lord for allowing his lot to be cast among people who are progressive even if he does have to move his shop. The man who left a horse belonging to Liveryman Warner, of Argos, in the woods all Monday night, ought to be sent to states prison. The man, who was a stranger, rented the horse to drive to Plymouth, representing himself to be a relative of the Jacox family here. He came to Plymouth and Mr. Jacox saw him after he arrived but he did not go near the barn but drove went on Garro street. Tuesday morning Mr. Warner telephoned to learn if the horse had been seen here. Mr. Jacox west on the trail of the wagon and found the horse about five miles west of town. The horse had been standing uncovered all night in the woods and at daylight a farmer took him and gave him some feed. The fellow had skipped out and has not been heard of. Inwood. The Lycurgus school closed Friday, April 12, with an evening entertainment which was highly creditable to teacher and scholars. A large crowd assembled and was called to order at S o'clock when the exercises began. A long program was prepared and the parts were well rendered. The violinists, "Wilson and Vanvactor, furnished excellent music. Miss Hoover taught a good school and returned to her home in Plymouth, taking with her the best wishes of the patrons and scholars.
