The primary election has been quiet today, a hundred and forty votes being cast at the noon hoar. The candidates have been active and it is probable that a very good vote will be polled. The aspirants for county office nominations have had an opportunity to meet the voters and have quietly put in some good words toi themsel ves. A well informedV voter told Pete Kiuyerthis morning that he had been working in the interest of his Kruyor's candidacy the past week and vouiv certainly secure him six or sevet votes. Pete magnanimously thanked . this in timate friend, and hurried off before he bad time to take up a collection. No doubt this fellow imagines that the "Farmer" is a "force of habit" candidate.

Frogs and mice are developing an un-

pardonable desire to steal down pec - pie's throa's lately. Iiev.,J. Ii. Klley, pastor of a llaptit church in Paeodtei Cel., fell asleep af'ri reading, and, tr getting to cloee his mouth, was nearly choked by a mouse which Strolled in.

"New names for old things,'" remarked a gentleman e-terday. "are the or der of the day. 1 here are from time to time heavy rainfalls i: this country which in the old times were characterized as 'down pour,' or something ol that kind N-w, however, we hear of 'cloudbursts' every where Kferj time a millcreek overflows or a hay crop geta suddenly spoiled, it is attributed to a 'c'ouUburst.' Peopl have been dying from stoppage of the heart's action since the beginning of morality, and yet it is but recently that we began to hear of 'heart failure." A heated term is now produced by a 'hot wave;' all sickness that the d letori cannot understand is attributed to 'lirighfs disease," and living cheaply in the summer is called going to the eoootry. ' The Dornende ture is different, but the old things are the same." From Saturday l Dally. Kotzeins new gallery will soon be completed. J . If.

The verdict was a surprise. Sidney Pecker is celebrating his 1Mb birthday today. Sidney is a splendid young man and a favorite with the young people, and the Independent hopes that be will live long enough to duplicate s about six times. ¶ The first thing that Schoof the alleg ed murderer of McCleland at Laporte did after the jury found him not guilty, was to go and get on a roaring big drunk with a woman of the town. No one has any use now in Laporte for this ungrateful man. Account Ancient Accepted Scottish Kite spring Convocation, the L. E. W U.R.

It is worth reading The new moon is said to be a wet one beeam e it lies on its back and is full of water, another theory is that it is a dry toon ae the water cannot run out. it is to be hoped that the latter theory is the correct one. The votes cast at the primary yester day would indicate that the city is democratic. When the vote is taken in May you will fee tnat the total vote will not reach 750. Charlie Corbin and L. A. Kloepfer returned from Chicago last night, Mra. Kloepfer, who is taking treatment in Chicago hospital shows signs of im provement, much to the oelight of her many friends in Plymouth. 11 Kepresentativo Landis does not achieve greatness it will not be for lack of nearve. He called on the president a day or two ago to i ell him what the people of ' my district" think about the Maine explosion and that he favored an aggiessiva foreign policy. Landis is a clever fellow with a good digestion but he is a trille fresh. A little more modesty would not be unbecomming. The Catholic church was crowded this morning at the funeral of Mrs Koma Ball. Father Moeoch preached grower ul as well as a sympathetic discourse. At the conclusion of the servicts at the church, the remains of Mrs. Kail wire taken to the Pittsburg depot and fiom there to Warsaw for interment. A number of people from this city accompanied the bereaved husband to that city, where they witnessed the last pad rites in laying to rest his beauiiiul and loving young wife. There is a more intolerable nuisance in the theater i ban the big hat. This nuisance, says an exchange, is the late comer. Sometimes he is alone; he has dined heavily; he has been late in deciding where to go; he saunters leisure ly down the aisle; his seit is at least six places from the msle; he apologizes loudly and steps carefully on male and female feet. Or he is one of a theater party. He and his friends come in the full glory of evening dress, but they come late. There are people on the stage, but the theater party does not see t hem as it enters nor do those seated near them until thy party, with much ceremony is seated. l unci ii Notice, The funeral of Mis. Jerome Ball will take place tomorrow from St Michael's church at 1 o'clock. Those desirmg to view the remains, will have an opportunity to do so from 8 to s.:o, a. m. Satur day, at the residence of P. J, Kali South Plymouth. The funeral coitege wil leave Plymouth at in. ys. foi Warsaw. Interment in the Warsaw cemetery at 3 p. in. Saturday.

The Demokratie City Ticket The ticket as presented by the dem ocrats of this city is indeed a strong one. P. O. Jonesand J, N. Wilson are so well known to the voters that nothing need be said in their commendation Their names are synonymous of honesty and faithfulness to duty. Prosper Kail and Thomas Chancy are two young men of this party and the votes received by them show them to be exceptionally popular. Their candidacies will add strength to the ticket. Many republicans have expressed themselves today as ready to concede the election of Mr. Chaney but they have

hopes that the rest of their ticket can be so framed as to give them a lighting chance for success. In the first ward Dr. Reynolds is the candidate for councilman. There was some decided opposition to him in the convention but as he is in a strong democratic ward and as the democrats this year have made up their minds to sacrifice personal feelings there is no doubt as to the doctor's success. In the second ward ( le Yinall, than whom there is not popular mau in the ward, is the nominee and he has already begun to resemble a city father. The third ward is strongly republican and while a good man has been selected in the person of Wtn. Suit it is not tnought that it will be possible for him to be elected. On the whole the ticket is a strong one and it will be difficult for the re publicans to shape a better one. The RMtt. The result of the democratic primary convention held in Plymouth Friday was made known that night at .i o'clock (uite a crowo was present and anxious to hear the result of the vote. The contest was conducted in an orderly and satisfactory manner and we have heard of no complaints from any source. The ticket nominated is an exceedingly strong one and will poll the full partyvote. Kelow will be be found the vote in full: Mayor P. O. Jones 3:,i Treasurer J N. Wilson s.U Clerk Alex Thompssn 74 " Prosper Kail iyo " Chas McLaughlin 10J Marshall Isaac Thomas 61 ( ioi I frey Shearer 117 " Thomas Cheney ,206 The total number of votes cast .'Mi, Democratic PrlMor The election board which is holding forth today in the McKelvy block is composed of the following gentlemen: Judges, Llias Whit wer and Mat Kyser, Clerks, Cora North and Henry Ulrich. The law is lived up to the very letter. The candidates have been on the alert and are looking after their interests. P. O. Jones and .1 M Wilson are the only two that have no opposition and of course they are being voted for by every democrat that enteis the voting booths. The candidates for clerk and marshal are leaving nothing undone to further their interests. The primary has been conducted in a gentlemanly manner. There has been no mud clinging or dirty work practiced The man that gets the most votes will receive the democratic vote of Plymouth. There has been some speculation today and a few bets were made on the out come but those guesses were only made to till in time. The polls w ill close at 7 p m. and by HMO the re suit will be know. The contest has been a friendly one and there will be nothing to patch up after the battle of ballots. A Siater' Devot lou. Ia summarizing the Schoof murder case at Laporte it may not be out of place to call attention to the unselfish devotion of the accused's sister, Mrs. W. W. Griff. Such devotion is in itself an object lesson. At no time during the tedious course of the proceedings has she left his side, her cheering comfort have had much to do with keeping his courage up to the point of fortitude and many times it was at its lowest ebb. Only once, and that only for an instant, has he shown signs of breaking down when, during the picturing of his mother lying on a bed of sickness, awaiting the return of her erring son, he gave way to tears. The Ilearld does not criticize schoof for the tears he s led, they were tears which doubtless came from the innermost depths of his very soul. He bhoukl 1 hank his lucky stars that he escapet1 punishment. This should leaninsentive for him to live a good life and to never again deviate lrm the even tenor his way. I,aporte Herald Hi American Citri Mimiuilcnitoo! A broad Miss Lilian Hell, who is visiting Kurope for the first time, recording her impressions and observations in "The Ladies Home Journal," writes from Herlin to the April number of that mag azine, that ''it would be utterly imposgible for the American girl to be more exquisitely misunderstood than i he is by the French aud dermans." To be exquisitely" misunderstood, one can readily believe, is a rare experience. Business men will hold a meeting to night in theottice of Cressner Brat, at 7 o'clock. The Marshall County Physicians Association will meet at the oilice of Drs A-ipinall and Horton Tuesday afternoon.
