Several of the school children are so afilicted and "still there's more to follow." Mr. John Clapp has purchased two more fine lots on the west side and will commence immediately to erect two more substantial cottages. A young fellow by the name of Readle had a thumb and finger so badly hurt at the Basket factory this week, that amputation was necessary. Little Pet Rotzien is the happy owner of a full blood English pug dog. The little fellow is a beauty, finely marked and one that its owner is very proud of. The new billiard parlor of Zinn & Young have added chandeliers to their already well equipped room, which is appreciated by their numerous custom ers. Jim Marshall, is now in charge of th freight department of the Vandalialinc. He occupies this position until the re turn cf Jim Reeves who is olT on a va cation. The government has seen the neces sity of doing away with the large sized postal card, and it has been announced that smaller cards will henceforth be sent out.

Bert Harris while out riding his bi cycle on North Michigan street, one day this week, was attacked by a dog be longing to H. G. Thayer, and severely bitten on the leg. The air is alive with rumors of wrestling match between Greenburg and Zimmerman. We understand the date will be sometime during the first of the coming month. Henry Watterson gave a lecture on Abraham Lincoln at Valparaiso last Saturday night. The next lecture that will be given in that city will be handled by Secretary Carlisle. Sparks from a Lake Shore engine at Goshen, one day this week, set fire to the fair ground, and if not discovered by some citizens, the buildings would in a short time been consumed. Our editorial friend Nearpass of the Marmont Herald, presented a cut of the new Culver military academy to his readers last week. He is working for Marmont first, last and all the time. The staff of life is universally admit ted to be bread. It then stands to reason that we should buy the best. The La Porto street Bakery has the reputation of keeping the very best. Lewis II. Ley, an old railroad em ployee in the round house at Elkhart, was instantly killed last Sunday morn ing by being run over by an engine in tho round house. The most peculiar

feature pf this sad death is, although

there were several parties standing within a short distance of Mr. Ley, no one knew he was killed or no cry was heard. No matter how hard the times may be there is pretty generally money enough in the pockets of those who are always preaching poverty to patronize some street fakir who may come along. These are the "melancholy days" for news. No one seems to be exceedingly busy except the farmers. The doctors say it is "distressingly healthy, and all other business seems to be in a semicataleptic state. Anderson & Hansen have just secured another consignment of imported tobaccos which they are working into cigars rapidly. They have a large force at work and then are unable to fill their numerous orders. "Can any of the scholars tell why we have eggs cn Easter?" was asked by a Methodist minister of the Sunday school one Sunday. "Cause the hens lay 'em," was the quick reply of a small boy in the rear of the room. Eastern papers have it that the courts have decided that the "bronze statutes" do not outrage public decency. The nerve of the public must have been remodeled by some of the numerous patent medicines on tap. Jas. Reeves, the accommodating freight agent of the Vandalia line at this place, left Tuesday for a two week's visit at Newcastle, Penn. Jim will be accompanied on his return by his sister, who is now at that place. Mr. Ralph Hayes, who has been connected with the Independent during the past six weeks, left for his home in Joliet, 111., Tuesday last.

A num ber of makes to select from. Wells Corey, of the Pekin, 111., Tri bune, must have it in for St. Louis. In last week's issue he says: "A man has just died in St. Louis at the age of 140 years.

Wayne tracks. Call and see them before buying your mount for 1S'J5. The celebrated "Spaulding" wheel and other makes, also sundries of all kinds on hand. Never conclude that all men who do not agree with you in politics are fools, but rather strive to convince them of the justice of your position. The man who concludes that all are fools who do not agree with him is generally a fool himself. J. 1). Molter, is contemplating a trip to Georgia, where he will investigate the redeeming features of that section where so many of our farmer friends are going to. If Mr. Molter finds it as represented, he will take the agency and represent it in this section. The late census taken give our city 810 families, and a total population of 3,252. There are a number of people in our city that no doubt were not taken into this census, such as young men who are employed here and who are not in any way connected with families. A man by the name of Fletcher, while blasting stumps near La Porte eight years ago, was blown to pieces by a pre mature discharge. One day this week a man while plowing found a piece of a watch case over 120 rods from the place where the unfortunate man was killed. The editor of the Kewanna Herald, announced to his readers last week, that he must receive a better support or he would be compelled to shut up shop. Being that he carries thirteen and one half columns of ads out of twenty; we would like to know where his kick is coming from. To dissappoint a preacher with a small audience on a fair day Is to choke the life and energy out of him. To un justly criticise him and his sermons is to break down his inlluence and weaken his power. Every community can to a large extent shape and inlluence the power of its ministers. The Indiana Novelty Company, of Plymouth, has sued Louis Rastetter, of Fort Wayne, in the Federal Court, alleging that he is infringing on a wheel patent owned by it, known as the Harrington patent. An injunction is asked to restrain him from using the patent, and an accounting of profits is demanded. Valparaiso Star. If we die to-day, the sun will shine as bright, the birds will sing as sweetly to-morrow. Business won't be suspended a moment, and the great mass will not bestow a thought upon our memories. "Is he dead?" will be the solemn inquiry of a few, as they pass to their work. But no one will miss us, excepting our immediate connections, and in a short time they will forget and laught as merrily as when we sat beside them. Thus shall we all, now active in life, pass away. Our children crowd close

Our new Bronze and Brown, (the latest fads), the talk of the town. To see them is to like them.

Children's Beautiful Sailors, Yachts, etc. We Don't Ask Much of you, only your time to look our lines over and will make prices an object to you. M. LAUER & SON.,

(C ONE PRICE behind us, and they will soon pass away. In a few years not a living being can say, "I remember him." We lived in another age, and did business with those who slumber in the tomb, Thus is life! How rapidly it passes. Ties placed on the Fort Wayne track near Columbia City, Sunday, came near causing a wreck. The prompt action of the engineer in stopping the train avoided a disaster. It is supposed to have been the work of boys who were not aware of the eminent danger their work might cause. The body of Barney Ellwanger, who it was supposed murdered his wife at Cedar Lake, April Sth, was discovered in the lake near his former home. This does away with the theory that he murdered his wife. The officers cf that section are now trying to unravel the mystery of the double murder. About fifteen minutes work on that pump located on LaPorte street would have a soothing effect upon the minds of our farmer friends when they attempt to water their teams there. We have been shocked at the remarks made in regard to this excellent piece of mechanism, known as a pump. Mrs. Dora E. Gregg, daughter of Sheriff Smith, leaves for Irwin, Mo., this week, where she will make her future home. Mrs. Gregg has for several weeks past been visiting with her parents here, and has many numerous friends who join with the Independent in wishing her a pleasant future in her new home. The correspondent from Bourbon for the Etna Green News, astonished his readers last week, by the statement that the quarantine against Walkerton had been raised. A great feeling of relief must prevade the city of Walkerton to learn that this quarantine has been removed. That correspondent must have slept two or three months. It is reported by an exchange that a pig born in Pulaski county a short time ago, had the tail snugly fitted in the center of the forehead, and that the nostrils were located in the side of the snout. It is no wonder. The way the political complexion of 'this country is turning upside down, it is necessary to have some reaction in the laws of nature. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Cole, of Vanndale, Arkansas, returned to Plymouth, Monday last, remained a few days visiting with old friends and relatives. Mr. Cole spent a few moments with the INDEPENDENT, and through him we learn that the all absorbing topic in Arkansas is the financial question. Mr. and Mrs. Cole left Wednesday for their home in Vanndale, but will return to Plymouth, in June, for an extended visit. At the U. B. church in this city the W. C. T. U. will hold a Gospel Temperance Concert and Lecture. Meetings will be conducted by Hon. Van Rennet and the National Singers, on Monday and Tuesday, April 2Vth, and 30th, at 2:30 p. m. and 7:30 each day. Subject of evening lectures "Christian Citizenship" and "Our Boys." Admission free. We extend a cordial invitation to all to attend each and every lecture. We see that our sister city Bremen are enjoying band concerts two evenings each week. That reminds us that Plymouth has an excellent band, and it would be a right move for our business men to encourage such an entertainment during the summer months. Such efforts put forth, not only cost very little money, but cause a good impression to be taken abroad by those who may happen to be in our city on such occasions. We are glad to note that a movement has been launched to organize some time in the future aY.M.C. A. The first meeting was held at the Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon, and participated in by a number who are interested in this line of work. At this meeting a club was formed to be known as the Young Men's Club, and at the proper time will be merged into a Young Men's Christian Association.

i i x l i uays ougnr ro ouy a goou OUTFITTERS." A committee was appointed which will report progress at the next meeting.' The committee appointed were: J. W Parks, Revs. Smith, Raymond, Rothenberger and Landis. Another meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian church at 3 o'clock. Thus the little seed sown by two young men mention of which appeared in the Independent several weeks ago, will undoubted'y bring into existence, a strong and nourishing society, The death of Mrs, J. E. Rentz occurred at her home in this city last Saturday evening, and to the host of friends was a severe shock. Although for some time past not in the best of health, no conception of her nearness to death's door was entertained. Mrs. Bentz was a woman who enjoyed a large circle of friends, and her untimely death is mourned by all. The funeral services were held at the family residence Monday afternoon, conducted by Revs. Rothenberger and Landis. The Valparaiso Star, of Saturday says in speaking of the contemplated electric line: "The road is to start from Elkhart and runs as far as Plymouth, a small town south of South Bend." We like that. May be they think Plymouth is a small town, but if they will look on the map they will discover it occupies as prominent a position as Valpo. Although we may not wear as big a "hat" as the city of Valpo, our clothes fits us, and we are making a good impression abroad. Reports have it that a paper will soon be established at Ilanna, a lively burg a short distance west of us. We learn that a young man, who for some time has been in the employ of Brother Endley,of the Walkerton Independent, is the party contemplating this enterprise. We would also say, that this energetic young fellow, so dame rumor has it, contemplates taking to himself a better half, and thus be more capable of attending to the duties of a print shop. The Independent wishes the new enterprise unbounded success. Chief of Police Myers thought he had three burglars and safe-blowers Saturday morning, but they turned out not to be the men he wanted. On Friday night three men entered the store of (Jeo. Eckert, at Linkville, and blew the safe to pieces. They were evidently novices at the work for they made so much noise that they woke up the inhabitants of the village. The robbers were traced to LaPaz and it is thought came to Plymouth. Chief Myers arrested three hoboes as they came from a Lake Erie train, but telegrams ironl Linkville convinced him they were not the men and so they were let go. John Clymer who lives south of town had quite a lively runaway last Tues day afternoon. The horses became frightened at something along side of the road and We fore John knew what was coming, he was speeding along Michigan street at a 2:40 gait. When the fun commenced he was in possession of a hat and a well filled basket of eggs, which left him a considerable distance from where he succeeded in stopping the horses. The clatter of the horses hoofs and the wagon brought out all the inhabitants along the line of charge, but a cloud of dust obscured from their view tho result of the race. He succeeded in bringing the team to a halt at the bridge. A Plymouth man being troubled with headache bought two medical tablets and put them in his coat pocket. When it was time to take his tablet he opened his mouth, shut Iiis eyes and fjulped one down. He was relieved of leadache and went on his way rejoicing. Later in the day he found the two tablets in his pocket. When he discovered a 82.50 gold piece missing the pain in his head shifted to his stomach Valparaiso Star. The Editor of the Star seems to be "foxy." While we are pleased to acknowledge our people have a few 82.50 gold pieces, and a great many "silver dollars," yet our heads never ache, and our money is always invested in real estate. We do not let our money lay around loose, but keep it in circulation, thus our prosperity.
