I.iliK: l l t-It HrlMij I'loj't rt.V i'lH Ii'.it Arnl, During the noon hour Tuts lay (juilt a crowd of people were attracted to To!;:i Wolloi'i's saioon bv i-eiiig severa! men mi1i out of the door ami iiunio Uiately after the sound of breaking g!.:s and furiiit tire was bean: on the ir.r kle. e'eral people started to g m but v.e:e dr:vi n hack hy having bottles and ;!ai-es thrown at their l:eacls bv a man who stood behind the bar, evidently a ravin? maniac simply posseted of t le idea of destruction. The bartender, a mere boy of only about twe.ity-om years, ws Iheiel ut powei It ss to arrest the destruction that was taking place. Marshal Mu-rs was called but not 1111 til great damage had been done, and with the assistance of a bystander, took the young man out of the place and started to the jail with lorn, but on pr.-niie to immediately go to his father's warehouse and remain there he was permitted to return, lie started but suddenly changed his mind and went back to the saloon to complete the work of destruction, but was again called off and this time persuaded to go away by a young man who works near where he does. Mr. Wolford, who ha 1 been out of town returned about 3 o'clock and his wrath knew no bounds whtn he saw w hat had been done. About four o'clock the man again returned and was met this time by Mr. Wolford himself who immediately smote him across the brow and threw him out on the sidewalk. It was then the Marsha! got him again and started totakeliim to a just ice's ollict but when he arrived at the foot of the stairs he had made up his mind that he would not go up the stairs and the combined efforts of several men could not tore him to. So they started for the jail. After several squabbles and escaping twi-eby being permitted to walk with a certain one (11 his promise to go peaceably, he was finally landed in jail but not until he had bee.i knocked down with a stick. Drink seem? to have a fearful effect upon the young man, who, when sober, is generally peaceable and quiet, but under the inlluence of liquor a raving maniac with a set desire to destroy whatever he may come in contact with, at whatever cost it may be. He has committed these acts before but gener ally has escaped punishment as people knew Iiis father would pay the damage. JJut it looks this time as though be would have to pay dearly for it and surely he ought. Jle has laid himself liable to a half dozen of charges to saynothing of the bruises he received and the damages which will have to be paid Mr. Wolford. And right here it might be said that the Marshal is just about as much to blame for releasing him when once he had him in charge and knowing that he was not responsible for his own acts when drunk. AN INVENTION. It in a ireat I,alr Saver. Sherman Miller son of Jesse Miller residing seven miles northeast of this city and a practical farmer is the invento, of the most practical corn cutter that has yet come to our notice. It is so arranged as to be drawn by onehoree cutting the corn as it goes reasonably close to t lie ground, at the same time gathering the stalks close together in an arm and when full cleverly binding by an ingenious contriv nice and setting the shock oil" on the ground in an upright position. It is a novel and useful piece of machinery by which one man with one horse can perform the work of about six men In the oid fasMoned way he having demonstrated that he can easily cut and shock 225 shock in a day w hereas (j to 15 shocks is considered a good days work for a man. Mr. Miller has iiled an application for a patent. VIEWED THE CITY. i-ilin:; Mii.Un-is .Un a Carriage Ki.l.-. At a meeting of the business men's association Friday evening it was decided to tender the visiting ministers of St. Joseph Conference, their wives and delegates an invitation to take a carriage ride and view the city. A soliciting committee were appointed to secure carriages w hich were freely contributed by the various liverymen, business men and private citizens in sullicient numbers to accommodate all who desired to avail themselves of this opportunity The large train of carriages left the U. 15church about 8:.'10 Monday morning. They visited the numerous manufacturing establishments and viewed the numerous industries that are becoming a pott nt factor in the upbuilding of the Queen City of Indiana. The many beautiful streets of Plymouth were traversed and the visitors were fully repaid for the time utilized in this pleas ing pastime. All pronounced themFelves as highly pleased with the ci'y and their entertainment while here.
Word cu me to us Tuesdav nio:n i g of a terrible lire raging in our neighboring city, but the reports were sneagu and it was with great diillculty that we were finally able to ge' full particulars of the" same. The lire started in the west portionot the town and was not got under control until that hilf of tie business portion had been entirely consumed. Ft. Wayne was aked for assistance and prompt!;, responded. Otherwise the whole town might have been consumed. The printing oflice, bank, bote!, two factories, three dwellings ami twclv business rooms were destroyed. Among those who will lose the most are Mrs. T. A. Matchette who owned six store rooms which were entirely consumed, entailing a ioss of $I5,mk: Foster Iho's, drug store, 1 ss $5.000. A good many stocks were saved. There was verv little insurance owing
to the buildings all being frame. The total loss is estimated at s50,ooo. t'u!u louM le I !. That the island of Cuba should b free from tht tyranical supervision of Spain, all honest Americans cannot but admit. So soon as the goverment of Cuba is set up, (as it soon will be we shall have "all the international authori ty acquired as a precedent to recognize a state of war in this island. Our nation could handsomely return the compliment due Spam, who, in bss than forty days aller the firing upon Fort Sumpter recognized the confederate insurgents. We could return to her, in the interests of liberty, the compliment she paid us in behalf of slavery. The justice will be poetic. With all possible deeorm, with a politness above criticism, with a firmness wholly irresistable, we should assist Spain out of Cuba and out of the hemisphere as effectually as Lincoln and Sevard did the french invaders of Mexico in the sixties. Moreover, according to Amen can precedent, neither a state of hostilities nor the setting upof a civil or military organization is positively necessary to entitle a people, to belligerent rights; for before either of these conditions were established in IHM we went so far as to issue a proclamation for "prevention of unlawful interference in the civil war in Canada." Our record toward Spain is clear. We heartily approved when (Jeorge Canning invoked the holy alliance to j prevent her from recovering the Ameri. j can provinces and in 1825 " were re fused to guarantee her perpetual possession of Cuba in exenange for commercial concessions to ourselves. Our obligations to her are measured by an easly terminable treaty, which however, while in force in no way prevents us from recognizing Cuba's belligerency. Is it diliicult for us to decide between free Cuba and tyrant Spain? Why not tling overboard Spam and give Cuba the aid which she needs and which our treaty with Spain cannot prevent? Which cause is morally right? Which is manly? Which is American? Michigan City News. Cari i.'.l ll-a en wanl. A Lincoln boy had an experience Monday he will probably never forget. Among the attractions for the Labor Day picnic was a baloon ascension. Just as the balloon arose James Irving, a small boy weighing about 75 pounds became tangled in the ropes and was carried up toward the clouds before he could wink his off eye. The "professor" raalized the danger and with remark able coolness grabbed the youngster and made the trip up, cut loose from the balloon when in mid air, and still holding the frightened kid descended to earth in the parachute, lioth struck terra-firma without injury and the crowd did not know for an hour afterwards that the double performance was not down on the program. The "professor is a hero and should be knowr to fame. They Are Learning l.etler. A large proportion of the fence board advertising sees in riding over the country, serves as a monument to the business firms that try to do business by advertising in this way instead of using printer's ink, says an exchange. The fact is that so many of these ad ertisements and relics of firms are so long since out of business, tint they are entirely worthless even to those still alive and kicking. Nobody can tell by reading an im itation on a fence board to ' trade with Salts the grocer," whether Salts is still dealing out sugar and potatoes at the old stand or whether he is one of the past generation long since gone out of the land of the living. Fx. Oil' lor Valparaiso, llev. L. S. Smith', of the M. F. church, left Tuesday evening for Valparaiso, where he goes to attend the annual conference. Hev. Smith has been in Plymouth only one year, and has not only given excellent satisfaction, but has made a good showing in all departments of church work. He goes to conference with a report that he will be proud to present.
READY
The science of FIT is what we study. There is everything in the world in having ones clothes to fit. " Not like the paper on the wall," but in an ea sy, comfortable manner. Readymade clothing, such as we handle, is made in so many styles, shapes and sizes that it is stange indeed when we cannot guarantee a perfect fit. Of course an alteration here and there may be needed, but that is quickly done by our own workmen. Then you always have our custom department to fall back on.

ClJJ NO WORK IN THS FUTURE. That Will lie the Case If Predictions Are Verified. Mr. Edison predicted the other day that wOrk would altogether be abolished in the next gnratiun, and that Our Only labor would be to press a button and start the machinery g-olng. Mr. Edison may be slightly wrong a9 to the generation; that is, it may take longer, a few more generations than he imagined, but that the drift is in the direction he indicates, and that actual labor will become a very small eiement in all Industries, is self-evident. Steam did a prreat deal to free us from the curse of labor, but electricity is a far more potential instrument, and its uses seem almost limitless. We have made it do our lighting, our transportation, and a thousand small jobs, but we have only just begun to use It. Hitherto this mighty genie has been brought into play mainly in the fit-id of manufactures, and man is still compelled to labor hard to grow crops; but there is a disposition to use electricity more and more in agriculture, and it ßeems to be even better suited for the field than for the workshop. In Saxony they are now plowing by electricity with great success, u.-tng an ordinary dynamo, and doing away with hcrst-s and men to a large extrnt. In the department of Tarn, France, a water wheel Is made to give sufficient force and to develop enough electricity to cultivate the farm so that the little brook that runs through It saves the farmer nearly all labor, fn Moravia a single dynamo furnishes all the power needed lo cultivate three adjacent farms, lowing by electricity Is much cheaper and better in all respects than plowing by steam. With a waterfall handy and there is one handy to nearly every farm In t'. country, save In the southern lowlmds and ordinary intelligence, there is no reason why all the hard work of the faim. from buttermaking to the thrashing of grain, should not be economically done by a well-distributed electric pi int. French experiments have further shown that the distribution of electricity through the soil by means of ordinary currert-bearlng wires stimulates the growth of plants and increases th yield.
