KIDNAPPERS AT KEWANNA WERE FOILED YESTERDAY. They ('apt ur 1 h Little (iirl Itut Were Oiliekly ('iiiM-llel to Iteleae lier Were ilul t Km ape. From Friday's Daily. The normal peace and quietude of the staid and modest little city of Kewanna was violently disturbed by a well developed sensation yesterday afternoon, when two neat appearing men drove to a point on the principal street, captured a little girl and made ready for hasty departure. The kidnappers were foiled, however, by two women who emerged from a neighboring house and screamed until the populace congregated en-masse to ascertain what calamity had befallen them. lSutchers, bakers and blacksmiths came from every direction. EBusiness men deserted their stores and laborers their work to see what was the matter and they quickly learned that the little girl was the daughter of one of the women who had started the alarm, and that the two men in the buggy had attempted to carry her away. Some threats were made and it appeared for a short time as though serious trouble might ensue, but the child was restored to her mother and the men were permitted to depart which they lost no time in doing. They started for Logansport. From the information at hand it appears that one of the men is the divorced husband of the child's mother, and that not being satisfied with the decree which gave the woman the custody of the child he took this means to get possession of his daughter. Kditnr In Heaven. Twenty years ago some one wrote a story about an editor who got into heaven by some fair or foul means, and a search was made throughout the length and breadth of the blissful realm to find a lawyer to draw up a writ of ejectment, but no limb of the law could be found, so the editor was given a seat near the throne and permitted to remain. What we want to say is that the story is an old chestnut that annually finds a place in the columns of the average newspapers, but it is false in every particular. Heaven contains more editors than men of all other professions, for the reason that a habitation of the New Jerusalem with golden streets and walls of precious stores is the only reward possible for the arduous, thankless duties he is required to perform, and he has the assurance that he will not be eternally vexed by the association of delinquent subscribers, and were it not for this hope and promise of reward we know one man who has pushed a pencil for more than a quarter of a century would quit the editorial tripod and engage in some business better calculated to remumerate an equal amount of energy. Kochest er Republican. "Knows How It Is HiiiiM-lf. The following extract from a recent sermon by the Kev. Dr. Talmage shows that he knows something about journalism. He says: One of the greatest trials of the newspaper profession is that its members are compelled to see more of the sham of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper ollice, day after day, go all the weakness of the world-all the vanities that want to be puffed, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers that want to be thought eloquent, all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in order to save the tax of the advertising column, all men want to be set right, all the crackbrained philosophers with stories as long as their hair and as gloomy as their linger nails, in the morning bereft of soap, all the bores who come to stay five minutes, but talk five hours. Through the editorial and reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day after day, and the temptation is neither to believe in (lod, man nor woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession there are some skeptical men. I only wonder hat newspaper men believe anything. Seareity of Houses. House seeking in this city is latterly becoming like a game of hard-scrabble. There are about fourteen candidates for every vacant house. M. Felter was seen on the street yesterday looking for a house or, if he could do no better, one or two room in which to store his goods until better arrange ments could be made. The house he had bargained lor some time since proved a delusion and a snare for he found himself in a predicament when he came to occupy it and found it was not at his disposal. This city is an ex cellent point for the formation of an order of house builders. Dr. N. R. Aspinwall, who has recently located in this city m connection with Dr. Rorton at the institute, was formerly connected for more than a year with the institute bearing the same name at Chicago. He is a young man of much ability and energy and we predict for him a flattering success in this city.

I'ureliiiM-il ly W. W. Yot, of Warna, From Friday's Daily. The formal transfer of the business of Sauer & Swearinger to W. W. Yost, of Warsaw was made to-day and Mr. Yost is now in possession. Sauer A: Swearingen extend to Mr. Yost their good will and recommend him to the public as fully capable of continuing the business on the same successful lines that has characterized it in the past. The quality of the lien Ilur ami other brands will be fully maintained as in the past. Mr. l ost is an experienced cigar maker and comes to Plymouth with full assurance of success. CHICKEN THIEVES. These Numerous lfiirel;tt ions me faiii i LC 11 Number of our Citiens to 1. ion the Alert. For some time of late, the shrill squawk of an unfortunate chicken be ing taken from its roost has been of common occurrence. Resolutions have been made by several of our south-side citizens to sleep with one eye open," and fill some one full of lead, that is caught at this dastardly trick. Now Surveyor North prides himself upon his prowess, and Wedmsday night after retiring he heard a noise in his chicken coop that caused him to leap out f bed, and knowing that prompt action was necessary if he desired to catch the marauder with the evidence of guilt in hand, it would be impracticable to stop to como his hair or adjust his neck-tie, grabbed the lantern and his revolver, and he hustled out on the war path. Imagine his feelings when he discovered his neighbor, A. C. Hume, coming to the house to inform him that a few chickens had been placed in his coop by his son Albert, for a short time. It is said, they were en joying a hearty laugh over the matter when Mr. North happened to remember that he had nothing on but his bathing suit, and he beat a retreat. THE WINONA ASSEMBLY. A ('ommuiiieat ion front the Management of that Hotly. As the Winona Assembly approaches the end of its beginning, rich golden fruit, the product of its labors, is already being gathered and the sunbeams of its blessings are reaching far and wide. The series of evangelistic meetings commenced last Sunday under the auspices of the noted Evangelist, Rev. .1. Wilber Chapman D. J)., of Albany New York are producing the grandest results attracting many people from a distance. A new feature for ISM has been consumated whose good results can only as yet be partially anticipated viz. the establishment ot a conference for Rible Study with Dr. Chapman at its head. This department is modeled after the Northtield pattern in charge of J) wight L.Moody D. D., and is the only thing of the kind in the West. In this work, Dr. Chapman will have associated with him, noted representatives of the Rescue Work from Chicago and New York and will brir.g here as IJible teachers men known throughout the world such as Dr. Moorehead of this Country and Dr. 1 1. Myer of Kngland. Dr. Chapman is associated with Mr. Moody at Northtield and as the Winona Conference will not be held until the close of Northtield, many of the promi nent leaders and workers in that widely and favorably known school for Rible Study will follow Dr. Chapman to Winona and assist in work here. SUICIDE. The Mania is Keaeliiuj Knoriuoiis Proport ions -Some of the Keasons why w e Live. The mania for suicide is an increasing one judging from the frequent ac counts of cases which crowd the columns of the papers. The opinion that life is worth living however is so inherent with the majority of people that the general verdict is when a person takes his or her life, that it is evidence ot insanity. Certain it is the great mass of mankind live out their lives in the firm conviction that it pays to live. Reside the inherent pleasure of conscious being, there are numerous and various ways in which we all find pay for living. Hope may be the most delusive thing in existence but we all believe in her always. The castles we build in the air of better things to come as a reward for living are a part ot the recompense of the present. The pay for today's toil and trouble is with the most of us to come to-morrow, and though it may never come, the hope that it will, endures. It pays to live but the moral stimulus for living differs as do individuals. Fame, power, love, money, sen sualism, right, wrong and a hundred other inspirations of hope and ambition are the rewards which men and women regard as ample pay for living and while once in awhile there is found here and there a miserable wretch who tires of life and ends it with his own hands, the almost unanimous verdict of the whole human family every day is that life is worth living.

COLUMBIA CITY'S BLUFF DIDN'T WORK.
Saitl They Would Play the Maroons When They uot a ICeputation - Ply mouth ; refutes the ( hartes Made and ;ives Its Opponent the Ornithine They Deserved -Wow! Wow ! Wow ! We Wonder What They Think Now. From Saturday's Daily. Some time ago 1 My mouth's team played a game jf base ba'l with Columbia City's team at the latter named city, and through having to play the whole town, lost it. Seeing that there was no chance for them to even express themselves in that city, the boys waited until they got home ai;d in justice to themselves explained to their friends through the columns of the IxdkpkxDK.nt just why it was that they couldn't Will. This displeased the newspapers of that city to such an extent that they rose up in their wrath, and having nothing else to work on resorted to ridicule, abusing the boys shamefully, saying that they were no ball players, chrome kickers and babies. However, having no desire to quarrel, the boys let the matter drop and when the present tournament was being arranged tendered that city's team an invitation to participate and compete for prizes They very politely answered by stating that when Plymouth made a leputation for themselves as ball players they would meet them. This was promptly answered in a business like manner stating that tnere was a jrfö.m prize for every game they could win. This tempted them, even if they were liable, in their own opinion, to oe contaminated by coming into competition with a team they deemed beneath themselves, so they loaded up and came on. As shown by yesterday morning's score they were not in it at all, but the second game they did better and those who witnessed it saw as line a game of ball as one would care to seei In the seventh inning the game tied and some very pretty ball playing was seen for four innings after that, before a score was made. In the tenth the excitement ran high when Herman came to bat and by confusing the pitcher, got a base on balls, but Hunter hit a lly to short stop, and Reebe one to the pitcher. Capron got out to first. Columbia City got goose eggs again, and Cleveland came to bat, alter Huffman and Kirk were both out, hitting the ball for one base, went to second on (iillispie's one-base hit, and both scored on a single bagger by Wächter. Herman got out. Rinder struck out, Ilollinger went out to first and Weick popped a biglly out into center, and what could he ex pect when Arney Cleveland was there. V handsome double play was made in the seventh when Weick was out, Spencer on first and Rarnes hit a hot grounder. (lillispie got it and threw to Hunter on second, he in turn putting it over to Capron on first. The battery did splendid work and were well supported all around. Reebe was hurt about the middle of the game when sliding to make home, and Herman pitched the balance of the game, Reebe going to third. We are just wondering who did the baby act yesterday? Who are chronic kickers? Who found fault with an umpire who is noted for his just and honest decisions; whose men only took their positions and played ball upon being told that they would be fined if they did not, when trying to tell the umpire how to decide on a play. Oh! no, Columbia City didn't that's a mistake, but they did play ball when they found out they had to and the Maroons had to play to beat them. The following is the score by innings: I My mouth .... 0 2 00002000 20 Columbia City 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0-4 PLYMOUTH WINS THE GAME. Columbia City Loses hy a Seore of Fifteen to Four A (iool iume. From Friday's Dally. The Maroons entered the base ball arena this morning to play a winning game and they did it to a queen's taste. The ground was in good condition, much better than was expected after the heavy rains. Herman pitched the game for the Maroons and Wanderlich for .the Columbia City club. A fair crowd was in attendance. The score, by innings, was as follows: Plymouth; 1 1 2 0 2 0 1 8 0 15 Columbia City. ..0 0 00 0 0040 4 1 1 its Plymouth, 1 1 ; Columbia City, 7. Krrors lMymouth. 4; Columbia City, 8. Three-base hit Hunter. Two-base hits Hunter, Herman and Kirk. Stolen bases Plymouth, 5 Struck out by Herman, 3; by Wanderlich, 3. Flay Itajl. The Elkhart and Warsaw papers have been exchanging their experience in connection with the Ladies Physical Culture Club. This club is composed of bloomer clad ladies who g about giving exhibitions by playing base ball. When they strike a town the natives after witnessing the doleful attempt to play ball, generally go down in their pockets, to make up the deficiency, and send them to some other town.
