LOCAL BREVITIES.

From Tuesday's Daily. Over 10C0 bicycles are used in the city of Klkhart. Laporte is just now haying her share of sensational cases. Farmers are busy plowing their ground for spring crops. A neat fitting unit'o-ni doesn't make the man, not by any im.ua. There will likely be some books made on the coming city election. Fishing parties art- new plenty, and some good catches have been reported . One man suggested today that Laporte street be known hereafter as war street. What would be the political complexion of Plymouth if a vote was taken tomorrow ! The agricultural dealers in Plymouth report a splendid trade up to the pres ent time. Don't overlook the fact that Plymouth is going to have a base ball club this summer. The Socialists at Anderson have put a complete city ticket in the field from mayor down. The hammock season is here and some very nice ones are on the market for picnic use. There is one young man in Plymouth who stands on his dignity, and we admire him for it. y . (J. Thayer touched the patriotic cho-d last night in a very few but wellchosen words in Castle hall. Dr. Knott is now sole proprietor of the South Side drug store. Walt Reynolds will have charge of the store. A Maine man who thinks there will soon be another tlood is building an ark after the pattern of that of Noah oe old. A small army of gypsies passed threugh the city early this morning going north. They had tome very good horses. "Wheat still brings a good price" said a well known business man today, "but in a few weeks it will drop down about ten cents." The world's famous Rock Band (Till Family) from London, England, will give a concert at the opera house Wednesday evening April 20. The city campaign in Peru is waxing warm, and excitement is high. The war with Spain has been forgotten in the political free for all down there. Dr. Weir's mechanical and chemical laboratory in Laporte was entirely consumed by tire yesterday morning. The loss to the doctor is placed at $5,000. Henry Hall who has been bed fast for the past four months, is now able to be up and around. Mr. Hall has been atlhcted with mil matory rheumatism. Our local horse traders didn't tackle the gypsy crowd for a horse trade today. The man who makes a deal with one of those Nomads generally comes out second best. Hyperion lodge K. of P. held a very interesting lodge session last night. Visiting Knights from Peru, Attica and Argos were present and regaled lue boys with some good speeches. So .t'i street is being worked down 30 tbtt it now has the appearance of a street . The property owners down there are dxing up their lawns, and that part of 1'lymouth will now be considered up-to-date. Some of the guards at prison north are much exercised over the report of the state board of charities, which recommends that all guards over fifty years of age be removed. This would cause the discharge of about fifteen guards. 1 here are some well posted citizens in Plymouth on the questions which are now agitating the public mind in regard to the impending trouble with Spain. As a rule they are for peace if it can be brought honorably, but war rather than dishonor. The free silver dance at the Opera house last night was well attended and proved to be a social as well as a financial success. About forty couples participated in the "Mazy waltz." The music was tine and was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald of this city. Supt. Kruyer. of the county infirm ary telephones us that the health of the inmates was never better and the pleasant weather affords them oppor tunity to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and to roam at will through the yards and lawns of that well maintained in stitution. Little groups of politicians can be seen almost any hour of the day sizing up and comparing notes in regard to the probable outcome. lioth parties claim that the very latest poll of the city is in their favor. Taking that as a criterion, n case both sides are honest in their opinions and in the polls taken, who will win? Here is a chance for the posted man to make a fortune by guessing. The treatment bestowed upon Gen. Lee by Cap'.. (Jen, Hlanco illustrates perfectly the devilish spirit of the Spaniardjand shews that the Americans quitted Havana none too soon. That there was the slightest urgency, however, is proof of all that has been writ

ten of Spanish treachery and barbarism. That any American should wish to hold back in the face of such provocation is past comprehension. If we should hesitate now we should be despicable in the sight of all the world. If the idea of Gen. Nelson A. Miles is carried out, the U. S. armory will no longer be the "boys in blue." He wishes to change color of the uniform to a gray brown and the material to waterproof canvas. One hundred of the new uniforms have been ordered as an experiment. Spain is on the backward march. She sees the inevitable, and will be satisfied with nominal sovereignty of Cuba. A similar proposition came to the patriots in 1718 from Great Britain when they had all but won their Independence. The patriots spurned the offer, as the Cubans who are now contending for absolute freedom and Independence. From a financial standpoint, as well as spiritual the churches in Plymouth were never in a more prosperous and healthy condition than they are today, The past year has been truly a successful one, and this state of affairs was brought about largely by the untiring efforts of the very able and hard work ing ministers of the various denomina tions. A number of prominent people from abroad were in the city yesterday in the interest of the proposed electric railroad which will likely strike Plymouth in the case the project is carried through. A meeting was held by the officials at the Ross house, for the purpose of electing officers and transacting other important business pertaining to the proposed route. It is said that the new dog law is bound to cause trouble. A man can be assessed for any dog found on his premeses whether it be his or not. Should be refuse, the matter is given to the township trustee, who is given full power to act. It is safe to state that the number of ownerless dogs will be materially diminished in case the law is strictly followed. A war with Spain to liberate Cuba and avenge the outrageous destruction of the Mu'ne is now a practical certainty and it will , -obably begin within a very few days. National honor, patriotism and the claims of humanity demand that the United States should take the stand which it has, which is leading us into war. It is a righteous war and and a righteous war is better that an unrighteous peace.

From Wednesday's Daily. "Outing parties" are being talked up. Spain is dead easy. She is a "quit ter." Don't borrow your neighbor's paper it looks bad. Born: To Mr. and Mrs. David Trowbridge, a boy, Mch. 10th. The Independent has no ax to grind, neither has it any news to suppress. This weather should remind you of spring hats. See Mrs Moore. 2dlw It will soon be time for the Molter band to announce "Friday evening con certs." We are busy designing novelites in the millinery line at Mrs. 1). E. Moore. 2dlw K. K. Brook and Charles Wilcox have been appointed to take the school enumeration. If the present pleasant weather continues, Pretty lake will soon have some visitors. Potatoes are scarce in Plymouth, and those who want them for planting purposes are having some trouble in get ting them. The medical pension board of Mar shall County were in session today and axamined several veterans for an increase in pension. With two good bands, a Urst class ball team and the promise of some fine rac ing, Plymouth ought to show up all right this summer. Harry Buck received the handsome surrey today which will be given away next fall to the person who is in possession of the lucky number. There has been war talk today in Plymouth of that character which clearly reveals the fact that every citizen is in favor of Cuban Independence. If you hold a man, he wants to fight all the more. The powers of Europe should leave loose of Spain and the re suit would be satisfactory. If there is a war it will be short Spain will quit as soon as possible. Att'y Wise, returned from Goshen last evening, where he has been for several days attending to business in connec tion with the order of Maccabees. Those young boys who take up all the street in making their spurts on the wheel, should remember that pedestrains have the right of way. Electricity will play an important part in the next war. The great war-ships are wired from stem to stern, and their big guns are handled by electric power In the United States there are be tween fifty and sixty thousand tramps If this number seerafc small it may be remembered they are not working to make it larger. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials are experimenting with a machine which is a combination ot a telegraph instrument and a typewriter. It has a keyboard similar to the Remington

typewriter, and a knowledge of telegraphy is unnecessary to operate it A key touch at one end of the line prin ts the letter touched on the paper in the machine at the other end. It is known as the teletype. The improvement season has now opened and painters and paper hangers say that the indications are that busi ness in their line of work will be un precedently large. Religion is cutting quite a figure in politics in Pern. It is said that the church people down there are opposed to the present Mayor, and bitter polit ical controversy is now being waged. We may not have rain for seven connective Sundays. Should this prove true, the old adage that should rain fall on Easter that we can look for rain for the next seven Sundays, will fall Mat. Dan Gibbous was brought before .1 ust: e Corbin late yesterday evening charged with assault and battery upon Mary A. Yates. Dan wasn't ready for trial, but he gave bond for his appearance. "Plymouth hasn't a bad house to day," said a well-posted young man this morning. "All the old-time scars have left our town, and 1 hope Plymouth will never have to acknowledge their return." "The high school face" is the latest and is said to be the result of over study. Now the mother of every

homely maid that goeB to school will have a logical reason for her daughter's unattr jctivencss. American citizens tleeing for their lives from Spanish soil, and the United States Government, making no effort to protect them thus far. It is a Bpectacle for the nations of the earth, and a humiliation to every American. Salesbury Chicago Orchestra will exhibit in theOpera house in Plymouth on the night of April 2tth. Lou All man and Gid Blain have the matter in hand and it is through their etTorts that the company will be heard in Plymouth. An ex Confederate soldier died in Newport, Neb., a few days ago. The veterans who wore the blue in 1851 took charge of the remains of their old an tagonist and conducted the funeral. The war of the rebellion closed thirty three years ago. It is announced that the Pennsylvania lines have been given the contract to carry the members of the naval reserve to New York from St. Paul, Duluth, Milwaukee and Chicago. The reserves will be tranaported at different times on its regular trains. How humiliating to every Republi can, with the warlike record of his party under such men as Lincoln aad Grant the latter of whom did not hesitate to dictate to France and England, and to enforce the evacuation of Mexico, must be th record of the present day. Monday next is the day appointed for settlement with the late employes of the Elektron Cycle works of this city. Most of the boys are out of town, but it is thought that a settlement can be arranged without their presence, as all the cases are in the hands of an attorney. Frank McKinney transacted busi ness in Plymouth today. Frank says that business in Bourbon is not glitter ing. He hopes for bngnter uays. n war is declared, he says that Bourbon will show up with her quoto of healthy volunteers to help subdue the Span iards. The gentlemen who will form the law making body of our city for the next four years, should be pledged in advance to continue the notable improvements whic i have been so ad mirably begun. This issue of the coming election should not be lost sight of. A tribe of Yaqui Indians has been subdued by a ruse of the Mexican government. Its chief was taken for a visit to the capital, appointed general and given a uniform. After his re turn he regarded himself as the ruler of Mexico, and instead of being rebellious has helped, with his 800 warriors, to preserve peace among the other tribes. The old Plymouth band is going to be reorganized at once and the citizens of Plymouth will have the pleasure of again listening to the sweet strains of this splendid musical organization. When the old Plymouth band was at its best, it was the equal of any in this part of the state. All the old members are here, and a few new ones will be added, and they will be a valuable addition . From Thursday Dally. New Millinery goods received daily at Miss Wilcox's. Hdlw Prosecutor Bernetha, of Rochester, was in the city today on business. Buggies, implements, seeds, it pays to investigate. F. A. Forbes. Id2w The gentle rain fall of last night, gave the street spunk Irr a rest today. The stylish hats of this season are at Miss Wilcox's pailors In the Corbin Block. 3dlw The pension Board in Plymouth yesterday passed on three cases which came before them. I have something very attractive in buggies and surnes . It pays to investigate. F. A. Forbes. id 'w

The Sunday schools of I nion town ship will meet in convention Saturday at the Culver M. K. ch rch. The Culver schools will close with a entertainment Friday, the proceed in go to the public school library fund A three year old hoy of Sam. el Border., residing Dear Tyner, was kicked by a horse Sunday, breaking his leg If you want to raise cabbaee or eel ery plants to sell, see F. A Forbes for prices on bulk seed. It pays to investigate. Id2.v The members of the Christian church at Argos are arranging to remodel and enlarge their church at an expense of 82,1 '00. The Commencement exercises of West Township schools, will he held at the Pretty Lake church, Saturdav evenit ig, April, The Democrats have not as yet selected a candidate fdr nmvor for the si" rt term. It is likely that the selection will be made this evening. For sale or trade, One solid comfort gang plow, one tornado feed cutter Address, Victor Weld. Hutland, md. ttw There is a little scandal, r.ot very large, which will likely develop within the next few days. There is no law compelling a man to go to war. See? A New Jersey man has brought suit against hs wife because she threw a hot batch of rolls at him. How unreasonable some men are. Suppose she had thrown cold biscuits at him! Two men will go to North or South Dakota on a prospecting tour. One will declare it the "garden spot" ot t,ie universe, the other will positively de clare it the worst country on earth. If the poll recently Haken by both parties in Plymouth is correct, we have a city of live thousand soy Is. The poll is wrong. Plymouth is not a city of live thousand, not by many hundreds. The Winsdor hotel was over crowded last night and was unable to take care of the guests, and Landlord YanCundy, was compelled to secure sleeping quarters for a number of them up town. A New York youth, after being rejected three times by the same girl, finally won her by slapping her face. If he had done this at lirst he would have saved his tender heart several severe jolts. A New Jersey man who recently served a term in prison for stealing a ship's anchor was released the other day and celebrated the occasion by stealing a locomotive. Do our reformatories reform ? For Sale- Three Kare Bargains Three improved farms, in the Forkner Hill valley, Southwest Missouri. Fruit, grasses, grains, schools, churches, so ciety, water and health. Call on or ad. dress, 1. M. Beckner, Argos Ind. J. K. Beckner, ag't. Forkner Hill, Webster Co. Missouri. 3tw Justice Reeves and Corbin say that unless business picks up in their line they will be compelled to abandon their dices and apply for a commission in the army which will soon be called upon to light the Spaniards. It takes Boonoy to live, and a captains commission, accompained by the regular percuisites would'nt be objectionable. Just who the Republicans will name as their candidate for the short term of mayor of Plymouth is not yet known. There are several spoken of, and the chances are that W. K. Bailey will be chosen to make the race. "There are others," but from what we can catch on the streets it is likely that Mr. Bailey will be chosen to make the race. The "Immortal J. N." is now in Columbia City. J. N. claims to be the only philosopher living, and he will at tend the republican convention at Columbia City tonight. J. N. was at

jne time one of the trusted otlicers of the secret serv ice, but he met with an accident near the town of (Josport, in the southern part of Indiana. The writer knew J. N. thirty years ago. "Why is it," said a man today, "that politicians choose the alleys when they want to discuss private matters? Why not asl. them into your house or some convecitnt store and explain your attitude tnd make yourself understood? Alleys were made as a sidetrack for the streets, and the candidate that uses the allays to talk up his chances is very liable to be sidetracked." Shakespeare makes a man on a storm-smitten ship exclaim: "Now would 1 give a thousand furlongs o: sea for an acre of barren ground!" Modernized and amended, this cry may take the form of the exclamation: "Now would 1 give a thousand acres of Alaska for the rockiest acre on a New England farm!" Many a dtsap pointed Klondiker would compromise on a half acre. An exchange remarks: "The yellow journals are tryiug to persuade their readers that Wall street is preventing war for selfish reasons. If it comes to that, what objection would Wall street have to war and a big issue of bonds? According to some of these yellow journals during the last campaign Wall street, is always working night and day to compel the government to issue bonds. The two theories hardly consist." It is to the interest of Spain to have it appear before the world that she

When a mother once oses it. she continues its use right along ; became, Bhe found, for coring cough, cold, croup and whoopintr-cougli Dr.BuH'sCoogb Syrup unequalled by any other similar mediciue. 4I have used Dr. Buirs Cough Syrup, for ten or lifteen years in the family, for coughs and throat troubles caused by colds, and Lave found no superior article." Mrs. D. T. Clarke, 103 Congress St., Cleveland, O. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup can be had everywhere for 2" cents. Dealers will say they have something else "just as good or hotter." because they want to make more profit. Don't he ''taken hi." Dr.Buirs Cough Syrup is the best goes to war in defense of her colonial possessions in the western hemisphere. This will not be true, however. Spain will go to war because, in one of her harbors, and while under the protection of her llag, she treacherously destroyed an American warship and murdered 806 American sailors, and because the American people demanded that she should be held to a stern accounting for that olack crime. The disgraceful row in the house arose from an effort to force through the majority program without any nr portunity whatever for debate, amendment, explanation or anything else. This is an illustration of the point which machine legislation l as readied under the Ueed rules. Nobody has any desire to delay action at present, but the minority has a right to put itself clearly on record in so important a matter as this, and reasonable opportunity for it should have been given without question. Warsaw Citizens are making frantic etforts to hold down that United Brethren college, which every day or two shows an inclination to slip away. Half a dozen architects were in Warsaw this week with sets of plans for the build ings, but the ministers and members of the U. B. church who met them there declined to enter into definite agreement with any of them until the people who had subscribed foi lots, ponied up There are a great many who have prom ised to pay and there is a possibility that a hitch may yet ensue. A desirable impetus has been given to the proper practice of human crema tion by the instant resolution of "dust to dust" of the east-oil earthly casket of the beautiful soul of Frances Williard. It was the long expressed desire of this exalted woman, that, as in life, no influence but that of the good, the beautiful and the true had proceeded from her example, so in death no pollution or phys ical life should be traceable to the fact that she lived and moved and worked here on earth. The grave is full of unnamable horrors. From the rarely refined dust to the urn, purified by fire, inspiration may be sought. W. Eh Sarber represented Argos at the electric railroad meeting at Flymouth Monday and reports a very enthusiastic meeting. The route as has been surveyed, is from Sturgis, Mich., to Danville, ill,, via Argos and Maxenkuckee. At the meeting Monday, Mr. Sears, of Chicago, was elected president and Dr. Matchette, of Hourbon, secretary. M. L. Cory, of Argos, w is also chosen representative of (ireen township. There were about twenty -live gentlemen present representing all the towns along the proposed route. If the right of way can be secured, work will commence in May. Argos Ke hector.
