LOGA! BREVITIES,

From Friday's Dai.'v. Spring is here in all her glory. Ohio miners struck today. Ira Lauer made a eallan? light last night. Corn h ooniog into Market at a lively rate. There will he a new s1re ill South Plymouth soon. .Joseph Neii, of Lal'ortr, is in ti tcity on business. Wood is plenty on the market in I'lymout h today.

The vote for city treasurer reacted follows last evening: Kelle J 91, WiiCOX 90. There were no raolatioill last Dlght. Four years ago they were at) Mil a yard long. Several bets wer- paid today on ac count of the losers bad judgment last nicht .lust, lay low and listen, and you will hear of Spain getting a downright good licking. Ora James, of South Bend, mmt in the city today circulating with his friends. Spring chickens are now the leaden at the hotels and restaurants in Plymouth . Ed Campbell is making an extended visit with trieuds in the north part of the htate. The battle is now on and the votes ca t on the :ird. of May will decide the matter. Miss Hazel Ketch am went to Boar bon last evening to visit friends lor a few days. Mr. A. L Styles left Wednesday for Philadelphia where he will work during the summer. Of course Will Leonard felt good when he was re nominated last night by acclimation. Marshall Meyers feels very greailu! to his friends for the handsome vote he received last night. In the last war men enlisted to saw the nation; in the next war they will enlist to serve the nation. Street Commissioner Brink gave Center street a good cleaning this morning. Mr. Brink is all ngnt. M. II. Thomas, an uncle of Frank Thomas who is now in Alaska, left this week for the Klondike region. The Independent has been "shy" a printer today and as a result considerable matter was left on the hook. O. J. Vine, of Canton, Ohio, is in the city on his way to the Wyoming goldmines, lie is a cousin of J. . Thomas. The defeated candidates ire feeling all right today. Mr. Kelly may leel a little sore but he dues not exhibit any soreness. The Odd Fellows held a very interesting session last night. William Sinn had iie third degree of that order conferrtl on him. Grant Belts, has moved his family to Bourbon, and he will go to Grand Kapids Mich, where he thinks he will find employment. Grant is a splendid young man. There are si ty-one insane veterans in the state. The national G. A. EL will petition congress to build a boa pital for all insane veterans. Most any one can tell how it was done, but some hesitate to express an opinion for fear it might count against them in future campaigns. The tlag of Cuba is a preity one, is it not ? Pathetically pretty. It contains but one lone star. Will that star be destined to sink forever? Hartford City has a society of ycung men known as the "avenging angels," whose purpose is to keep young men from paying too much attention to young ladies. The Democrats of the city of Elkhart will this year make their nominations by a delegate instead of a mass conven tioa. Thirty delegates have been allot ed to each ward. Kvery man that voted at the convention last night pledged himself to sun port the ticket, yet we have heard men say on the streets today that nothing of the kind would be done. Don't be backward about stopping a newspaper reporter on the street and giving him a little piece of r.ews, even if it is just a small personal don't think it not worth the while. Premier Sagasta was hanged in efligy at Valparaiso from the court boose steps and burned at the close of a most exciting meeting. The affair was ma nipulated by the 2,000 Normal students. Miss Kittie McDonald who is sojourning at EU Paso, Texas, for her health, is delighted with that, country, and feels t hat she has been greatly benefitted, and is daily growing stronger.

John rpHX was lined one dollar and The time will soon be here for the

costs in J notice CorWoe court yesterday cottages dowu at I'retty lake to be put evening for as.;au. ii g Stella Kemp, j in order.

Mr. Truax is a ver- warm Citizen and tbeeaae wa- appealed to the circuit court.

A ijood answer to spam's inquiry a to why the United States in buying war ihipa arouid include a atateaaent that it is because it has the price. The Dor s mipht then understood why they have poor success in the market. The Kochest er oil weil proved a fail ure. Tue drill was sent down 80 fad deeper yesterday, and ; heonly discovery made was a new kind of water. The derrick will be taken to Huntington and the hope of ever finding oil in Pulton county has been abandoned. A Michigan man recently sent the following letter to trie superintendent of schools; Dear Sir, my boy Johnnie came home touay with his head broke open by a biger boy, 1 whisht yon would look Into it. My hoy comes t school to earn brains and not to have them knocked out. Hon .lohn W. Bang her of Walkerton called at thii office today and renewed Ins subscription to the Daily tor one

year, lie has recently completed his new lesidence and now occupies it. He reports every thing in Walkerton ail rieht and says that he is prospering in the lumber business. There is one peculiarity among men. If they run lor an ollice and get "downed" it only takes a lew days for the sore spot to heai and then they line up for the ticket. Americans are manly fellow and they realize that "there are others" besides themselves. With this tip" look out for a party vote on May ii. Candidates tor ollices are perambulating the county in goodly Dombert. Tell them frankly whether you are for them or not. Such a course will enable them to better understand the situation, and you will feel better over it yourself alter it all is settled. In the meantime let all candidates treat one another kindly and fairly. BelOW will be found the vote received by each candidate for marshall and city

treasurer. For marshal!; Simon Meyers MB; Ira Lower, 29; Joe liennett, 12; J, II Baxter, 7. For treasurer: Washington Keliey, 04; Charles Wilcox, 91. At 1'owers last evening a big audience greeted Mr. D. F. (ioddard in his well-known impersonations of "Nichol as Nicklehy." "Oliver Twist," "Mreaking the News to Mothers." The young gent k man has no rival in his line. Hope to welcome him in owelty in the future. Grand Rapids Democrat. At the close of the rerublican con vention last night Sheriff Marshall was complimented by that vast body of tried and true republicans. The convention without a deeenting vote nominated Mr. Marshall for councilman of the4th ward, lie accepted the unlocked for tavor in a neat speecn. His opponentwill likely be Jim Maxey. A Whitehall, Kentucky, telegram says: Since the publication In an Eastern journal that General Cassius Marcellus Clay proposed to secure a divorce from his child wife, but tha: he still felt the need of a spouse to shar his magniticent home, he has received hundreds of offen from women who are willing to marry him, though he has but a life interest in his estate and a 950 a month pension- Thirty one letters came Wednesday this being only a small mail. Some of them were from widows and souiH from middle aged women, and young girls. A few inclosed their photographs and nearly all were anxious to visit Whitehall at once. Ah were willing to marry him as soon as he could get a divorce.

The lawyers have plenty of business in that city. If John (i. Davis don't get the Republican nomination for clerk of the Supreme court of Indiana, we miss our sjues s. Restaurants and hotels in Plymouth say that today has been a good one for them. Mr. Teters, the piano agent of Rochester, if in the city today transacting business. Charlie Kinsel has a nice little stock of groceries in a building Just south of the Michigan street bridge. We don t believe in suppressing a good news item.

Wilding ami little daughter are the guests of their pat ents Mr. and Mrs. X. S. Woodward.

The Delphi Hearld tells of a thirty foot snake that was seen near that town a few days ago. The Hearld man claims to be ttrickley temperate. This is one of the busy days for the merchants in Plymouth. The country was well represented in town for business.

Wilson a id Ketcham report a good business in the agricultural line. They are disposing of a number of binders and mowers Whenever President McKinley says the fford, Plymouth will have a hundred men In line ready to face the bloody Spaniard. liut few of the old Iiicycle factory boys are left in Plymouth. Most of them have found work in others cities and are doing well. Remember that, you are invited to attend home church In i'lymouth tomorrow. You will hear a good sermon at any of the churches. The bond holder who attemps to beat a lab wing man out of" his wages, has no rights in this country. Such a man belongs in Spain. llev. Rothenberger will preach at Twin Lakes church Sunday morning and will preach at his church here in Plymouth in the evening. The Plymouth school teachers who attended the teachers convention at Kokomo have all retuened to Plymouth.

They report a splendid time. You seldom see any one in Plymouth smoking the deadly cigarette. A few months ago thousands of those poisonous weeds were used in Plymouth Now is the tune to talk the street paving business. Of course the streets will not be paved for many, many days, but iL is a good thing to talk about. F. M. Alberts, af Hibbard was in the city today. He called and renewed his subscription to the Independent for one year. Mr. Alberts says that 66 tickets were sold from Uurr Oak Station last Wednesday to Dakota. The curfew law is all right for children, and we think it would apply to a number of men who forget the hour when all good men should be at home in bed. Mrs. N. S. Woodward assisted by her daughters Mrs. ü. F. Read, Mrs. C. A. Wilding and Miss Woodward entertained informally from 8 to 5 this after noon. Services as usual at the I . B. church tomorrow. There will be an unusually interesting program for both morning and evening. Come and enjoy the

'services.

The three first days of .April rules the

the months of April, May. .June. If the j above proves true what glorious , weather we will have for the next three j months. Some of the tourists who went to Dakota some time ago have been heard ; from. The? are well nleased with th.

country and would not return to In diaua to life, A woman down in 1'osey county has a fullgrown bullfrog in her stomach, having, it is supposed, swallowed it When it was a tadpole. And yet she doesn't croak. There are no outward evidences that Spam is very much alarmed. On the other hand it looks as if she were getting ready to do a lot of mischief before compelled to abandon Cuba. Two small boys had a vicous light this morning on Fast Harro street. I hey were light weights but they

! fought like demons and it required the

j presence of Marshal Meyers to separate

them. Mrs. .lohn Blain, Miss Kmma Stacy, Mrs. Lydia Appleman, Mrs. Daniel Miles sud Mrs. Kleckner constituted the party of I'lymouth representatives attending the W. C. T. U. convention atArgos today. There were two casesuled against the Elektron cycle works this morning. This makes eight cases that have been üled against this company up to date. In dollars and cents the claims amount to near SI 700. The V. P. C U. will hold a memorial service in honor of John Cook, deceased, at the l . R. church Sunday evening at 0:30 o'clock. All the members of the union are urged to be present and as

sist in the service. The public is in vited also. The city of Wabash just entered into a new contract lor street lighting for a term of live years.lt will cost the city per year for light. For this sum twenty-live are lights at -ST5 each per year and 8200 incandecei t lights at Sis each per year are furnished. The man that is opposed to street paving is hard to llnd in Plymouth; yet we know that there are men who do not apprOTC it. On the other hand no candidate for council will dare oppose this much needed improvement. If he does he will never be elected to a

seat in the council chamber. The blood of the nation is up and it will not subside until the Spaniard is driven home and Cuba is free. One priceless thing the conllict has already done. It has wiped out the sectional line forever. Rut there are thousands of old confederates who would die happier if before they are called to the final bivouac Of the dead, they could see the North and South once more in battle array beneath the stars and stripes. The fellow who stole the black dog belonging to L. A. Kloepfer on the tirst day of April, must bear In mind that be will have to pay tax on him. Resides he is liable to wind up in jail as a common thief. Mr. Kloepfer will pay a very liberal reward for his return. The dog was stolen from Mr. Kloepfer's residence yesterday morning.

There are always lots of people who wonder at mistakes they detect in newspapers, but they seem to be oblivious to their own errors. Doctors, lawyers and preachers all make them. The doctors' mistakes are buried, the lawyers twist out their mistakes, and the preachers are forgiven. The man who can keep errors out of a newsyapercan get a very

large salary. Michigan and Laporte streets have oeen very dusty today and many people wanted the street sprinkler brought ou Last week, every body kicked on ac count of the mud. The American peopla are all right, but they are hard to satisfy A neighboring exchange gives out the following: "If a stranger comes into your place of business after night and asks you to smell in a bottle, don't do it.

A saloonkeeper and his bartender of

Indianapolis, took a "whill" just to

please a stranger. They immediately

took a sleep and the stranger took some

cash and other things and then took a

walk." An ex Confederate soldier, Prof

John H. Robbitt, of Hreeusburg, this

state, who was one of (Jen. Lee's or derlies during toe war, wrote to Hen

Fitshttgh Lee to ask, 'What should a

Confederate soldier do in case of war

with Spain?" Hen. Lee's answer, as

might have been expected, was tfut ex-

Confederates should be loyal to the

government. The ideaof an ex-county

school superintendent asking such a

question as the above, and a person

residing in a northern state, too! Why a 16 year old boy knows better than to

ask such a question. La Porte Daily Herald. There seems to be no longer any doubt that the Odd Fellows of Indiana

will establish a home for children and

aged people at some desirable point in the state. A committee of ten from various lodges of the state has the

matter in hand, and is now considering

the location of the home. In all probability the location will be determined at a meeting of the committee lixed for May 10. Many towns in the state are competing for the location and offering inducements to the committee. Other things being equal, the town which offers the largest inducements will secure the location. It is proposed to spend

something like 100,000 In the purchase of lands and the erection of a building.
