The father of Supt. Marks is etill very low, with but little hopes of his recovery. Marriage license was granted today to Bruce Lynn Foxworthy and Miss Lillian A Harman. Edwin Mayer has purchased the Nussbaum property, consisting of residence, warehouse and barn. Spain has an earnest ally and sympathizer in ei Queen Lil, of the Sandwich islands, but spmpathy is all that Lil can give. The funeral of Mrs. Weimina Hintz took place at the Lutheran church this morning. Rev. Grube delivering the funeral oration. One hundred and seventy-five men began work on the bi sewer yesterday at Columbia City, and more men are needed and will be given work down there at once. George Deitle and Agnes Hysen were married this morning at the Catholic church by Father Moench. The happy couple will reside on a farm north of Plymouth. It has become the rule with all young men who enlist and had to give up good positions, that their places will be retained for them when they return laden with honors earned. G. G. Love has purchased the Jackson property on Sophia street and moved into it today. Mr. Love will lose his vote next Tuesday as he moved from the 2nd to the 3rd ward. The 15 year old daughter of Bert Liggett was taken suddenly ill this morning and a physician was called. At this writing she is resting easy and shows signs of improvement. The South Bend Green Stockings were defeated in a game of base ball yesterday by the "Shamrocks" of Fort Wayne. The Green Stockings won the championship of the state last year. Laporte street presents a patriotic appearance today. Most all the business houses are decorated in the national colors. All because Company "M" has been ordered to report for duty. Honor to the brave. An old veteran said it requires about one year to distinguish whether a recruit will make a good soldier. In a company of one hundred about fifty will prove themselves aaade of the right kind of material. Admiral Sampson is going into the business in good shape. His fleet has been remarkably active since arriving at Havana and has a good record of captures during the few days it has been on duty there. The United States has one Frenchman strongly on her side and that is the novelist Zola. His sympathies, he says are all with America in this crisis and he hopes for a just punishment to be administered to Spam. Rev. O. F. Landis and Mr. Nichols, the Evangelist, attended a Sunday school convention today at Mount Olive church, north of Plymouth. They report a splendid time and much interest was manifested. It was reported on the streets early this morning that the militia company in this city had been ordered to report at Indianapolis at once for duty, out the report was only a rumor, and probably came by "freight." Some one writes to an eastern paper to ask it "a person with weak knees, unable to stand steadily any length of time," will be liable to conscription. Ina case ot this kind the conscript can be sent to a torpedo boat, where the service required is not hard on the legs. In view of the deBire of many of the members of the Knights of the Maccabees to enlist, Supreme Commander Markey has issued a dispensation which will make the order liable for all deaths of members while engaged in the military or naval service of the United States. Mot un frequently that man of the Milford Mail gets off something that is to the point. Here is his latest: "There are too many men in this country eager to save the honor of the nation who

ought to be saving their wives from breaking their backs scraping the bottom of an empty Hour barrel." Photographs: one cent each. 15 for 15 cents. Gallery over Independent office. Call and see our samples, ldlw Grover Cleveland says he "hopes" the country is right in this war. Doubts he not that she is right? The time for hoping is past. The crisis is here and must be me . The time for action has come the time when every man is expected to stand by his country without stopping to argue the question. True to the promise made the citizens of LaPorte two months ago when the proposition of the Munson company was extended, that the first electrical motor carriage constructed would turn its wheels for the first time on the streets of that city, the horseless carriages was yesterday upon the streets of LaPorte. It should be remembered that all this talk we hear from abroad about other nations' sympathy with Spall comes from yellow newspapers. It is altogether likely that every nation on the other side of the sea will remain strictly neutral at this time. Great Britain and Germany have so declared themselves. One week from today will settle the controversy, and the people of Plymouth will know who will conduct the affairs of our city for the next four years. Up to the present time it has been one of the quietest campaigns ever conducted in this city. It is likely that matters will warm up some during the next few days. Now that war has started there is a chance to find employment for our surplus population. The Coxey army for instance, might be utilized to good ad vantage if put under experienced officers and drilled for six months. It would be an easy matter to corral 100,000 of them by watching the freight cars passing through the country. This has been a day of excitement in Plymouth among the young men who had signed the paper and signified their willingness to fight for Uncie Sam. Had the boys all reported at the call, they would have been off on time, but it seems a number of them were detained on account business and others must be recruited to take their place.

From Wednesday's Daily. There is plenty of patriotism in Plymouth. See me for buggies and surries. F. A. Forbes. Ilammeral's restaurant is as neat as a new pin. It has been papered and painted. Dahlia, gladiolus and tuberose bulbs, very fine, at Forbes. Prof. D. F. Redd and Rev. Thornberry addressed the audience at Mt. Olive last night. Be patriotic. Plant an abundance of the "Navy Forever" beans. Select seed at F. A. Forbes. The schools and business houses in Rochester closed yesterday to see the militia leave for Indianapolis. A rigid, physical examination is one tbing that the soldier boys will have to stand before being sworn into service. C. R. Leonard had an attack of pleurisy last night, and a physician was called to attend him. He is better today. My Field peas were bought before the advance in price, and will be sold accordingly. A word to the wise etc. F. A. Forbes. Cleatus W. Locher, infant son of Edward and Hattie M. Locher, died Sunday last, and was buried Monday in the Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral of George Stephens took place this afternoon from the Episcopal church, Rev. Raymond oCiciated. Interment in Oak Hill cemetery, There were many sad, as well as jolly people in Plymouth this morning as the farwells were said, when the train pulled out for Indianapolis, The boys were in the best of spirits this morning when they took their departure for the capitol city to be mustered into the service of the United States. Many familiar faces will be missed from Plymouth, and while their absence is to be regretted it is hoped that health and good luck will attend them during their absence from the city. The Salisbury concert at the opera house last night was a magnificent affair. One of the best ever heard in Plymouth. The dance which followed was equally grand and well attended. The first North township Sunday school convention, for the year 1898, will meet at the Brethern church one mile north of Lapaz, May 7th, at 9:30 a. m. All Sunday school workers are invited to be present. There was an enthusiastic Sunday school convention at Mt. Olive, yester day. A great many practical questions were discussed. Mr. F. A. Forbes who has made such an excellent township president, retired and Mr. Forrest Pontious will take his place. General Weyler, the Spanish butcher of women and children, was hung in etligy, in Plymouth last night, and all day long his body has hung suspended to a telegraph pole on Laporte street, in front of the "Gem" cigar store. It will probably be cut down tooight and

cremated. Should Weyler ever fall into the hands of the memberc of Co- "M," he will get his just deserts. If alllicted with diseases of the eye or par fnncnlt lir Paul of t'hioHo-o nt th

Davis, who has been in the employ of the telephone exchange in this city for the pa9t year, left yesterday for Rochester to join his company. Vern is a splendid younar man, and Messrs Knott and Beeves will give him back his position when he returns from the war. It is announced from Washington that "under nc circumstances that can now be foreseen will the services of women nurses be accepted in the present war with Spain." There may arise many things that women can do to show their patriotism, but they are not wanted at the front. The call for the Indiana National Guard contains the following statement : ''Any member of the National (iuard whose busiaeso affairs would be jeopardized, or whose domestic relations woulQ subject his family to inconven ience and hardship, will be permitte I to stand aside honorably and without prejudice." There has been some speculation in Plymouth today as to the probable outcome of the city election next Tuesday. It is hard to determint just what effect the departure of the boys will have on the coming votes Tuesday next. Some think it will hurt the republicans and others think it will hurt the democrats. We await results. Thta afternoon at 2 o'clock, the family horse of Mr. N. Woodward while standing at the hitching-rack at Mr. Woodward's farm north of town broke loose, and started for town at a terrible speed. When caught near the city it was discovered that his right hoof was almost severed. Dr. Reynolds rendered his aid in relieving the suffering animal. lohn Wolford'8 bar tenders locked up the saloon and turned over the keys to Jim Schultheis, and that gentleman has been dealing out the ardent to customers today. Mr. Wolford is out of town and does not know that his clerks are doing camp duty for Uncle Sam. John is patriotic, and will retain their places for them should they return to Plymouth. A number ot Plymouth people were in Argos last Friday to attend the Gibbons-Yates trial, all ot whom took am ner at Had s place the popular Argos restaurant. Mr. Haderman is a genial fellow, who by his clever service has won the patronage of the Plymouth trade as well as that of the Argos com munity. His place is known as the Opera House Bakery & Restaurant. It is quite probable that a goodly number of the young men who have gone to Indianapolis from the various parts of the state, as members of the 1. N. (J., will be rejected on examination which, it is said, will be quite rigid un der the rules prescribed by the war department. Many men, seemingly in perfect health, will be found unfitted for military service. Only those are wanted who are physicially sound in every particular. "On the last day of March," says an Illinois paper, "a young man got off the train at Peoria, and the first sight that arrested his attention was a pretty young woman standing at her father's gate. He spoke to her, and she replied pleasantly. The convesration continued, and they finally took a walk into the town together. In the store windows they saw things that suggested housekeeping. In less than an hour from the time he alighted from the train the voung man was married. It is said that since the particulars in the case became known there is a girl waiting at every gate in Peoria." From Thursday' Dally. Will Plymouth raise another company of soldiers ? All the latest novelties in spring millinery at Mrs. Moore's. 3Jlw Uncle Daniel Marks is still vry low at bis home in Green township. Company "M" from Plymouth has been assigned to the Third regiment. Quite a number of Plymouthites will take in the excursion to Indianapolis Sunday. The Methodist congregation will level and beautify the grounds around their church building. Politics is getting a little rocky in the city of Laporte. The politicians are calling each other bad names. There are several vacancies in the stores caused by the departure of company "M" to Indianapolis yesterday. An Italian band struck the town this morning and raked in several dollars during the day. They made good mu sic. The man that called down the Bourbon telegraph liai, can have any thing he asks for and no questions will be asked. Bert Beerbower received a letter from Will Reynolds this morning. Will says they are camped in the fair grounds and that the boys are feeling "O. K." and that everything is lovely.

They have plenty to eat but it is not prepared like the Ross house dishes it

up. Mrs. Joseph Bennett, who had the misfortune to fall and break her arm yesterday while cleaning honsf, is getung along fairly well. New goods are amving from three to four times a week at Mrs. M lore's popular niilhnery store. He sure and sec her elegant line of spring hats. Sdlw It is predicted that liitj per cent of Company "M" vhieh left Plymouth yesterday tor Indianapolis will tail to pass the medical examination. Col. Fleet was on hand and asked that his company of trained eadeta be taken intoservire, but met with disappointment as there was no vacancy. It will require considerable figuring to tell how the vote will sand before the count . Politics will do to guess on but it is not safe to stake much money. Wn. M. Kverly will be a candidate for lUpresentative of Marshall county, sul ject to ttie decision of the democratic convention, to be helu in Plymouth May 'is 1896. Mrs. Francisco desires to remind 'he ladies of Plymouth that she has just received on elegant line of new summer hats. You are invited to call and look them over. 8dl Our coast defenses are beiug built up very rapidly. Gen. Merntt says the fortification1: of New York and San Francisco are impregnable, and he is well satisfied with the advanced statr-of defenses in all the leading harbors. The following marriage licenses have been issued during the past week: Geo. Ü. Dunfee and Pearl L Banstead; Geo. V. Dietel and Agnes M. Heising; Win. Susan and Ida Knsperger; Freeman R. Ilahn and Princess D. Seymour. Hi. Henry's minstrels showed to a full house li. Plymouth last night. Hi. Henry never disappoints the public and when he tells you he will give you a good entertainment you can expect it. A better pleased audience never before assembled in the Plymouth opera house. Lovers of bananas may have to do without the fruit some time if the pres ent condition m Cuba continues. The reason is that no vessels are running now from the southern countries from the fear of being sie.ed by the Spanish, The price of bananas is rapidly rising owing to this. Don't let us have auy "On to Rich mond" folly iu this affair with Spain. There are those who impatiently demand the bombardment of Havana. Let these people bear in mind that the military and naval authorities who are directing American forces may be presumed to know when the time to strike is at hand. It was rumored on the streets today that Company -4M" would return to Plymouth as their services were not required. isuch is not the case however. Company "M" was accepted an' mus tered into service this morning and are now full Hedged soldiers. Capt. Capron will return to Plymouth Saturday on business, but will return to his com mand at once. The company from Wmnamac was rejected and will be sent back to that city. The withdrawal of Company "M" from Plymouth will lessen the voting population about sixty. The political allilations of these soldier boys were about half and half, as regards the two political parties, But as they are all young men the candidates who have been relying upon young voters will be seriously crippled. The candidates for mayor and clerk on the republican ticket were depending largely upon the young men, and the withdrawal of so many of their staunchest supporters makes their stock somewhat below par at this time. People living in this section are again receiving circular letters from the "green goods" men. It is an ingenious way of getting counterfeit paper money into ciiculation and although this form is a little different, it amounts to the same thing. They say they will sell you "goods of the sizes of ones, twos, lives," etc. The circular letters are sent out from Allentown, Pa., and contain great inducements. Valparaiso Messenger. The boys of company "M" who left Plymouth, Wednesday morning, were given an oration all along the line. They secured tents and outfits after a slight delay and got their first army rations for supper. Four men occupy one tent together. The tents are arranged in order, each company's tent facing one direction. Between the com tallies are open spaces about 0 feet wide called Company street. Fach regiment camps by itself. The camp presents a busy scene, men are driving stakes, cleaning ten's, and some looking longingly at the commissary department. Others learning to swing the axe; others are smoking the pipe of peace, or sleeping in the shade behiud the tents. The dinner rat ions consisted ot fresh bread, large pickles and canned beans and the little that each man got was washed down with water, not collee. Rochester organized a volunteer company yesterday to serve two years unless sooner discharged. Company "B" which was ordered to Indianapolis, hadn't been gone over an hour uutil a company of 5Q volunteers had been

raised. They are patriotic down there,

I The Winnamac company went down to ! mliaiiapolis and reported for duty but the captain was "fuli" and General McKee, after sizing him up. told him thai he could return to Wmnamac with hiscompany. He had not the required number and was shut out. A traveler who lately visited Salem. Washington county, Ind., said in C'rawfordsville that the Salem people had a groundhog drive while he was there and captured 30. They put rings in the and when he as-ked why they didn't kill them, they answered that it had never occured to them to do that. W. K.Leonard. Sr. has disnnsAd of his grocery store on Laporte street, to Ed. S. Brooke, formerly editor and proprietor of the Plvmjuth Republican. Mr. Leonard has not yet fully made up his mind as just what business he will engage in. He has been in the grocery business many yars in Plymouth and had established a splendid trade. Mrs. McFlrath and family Mrs. Watkins and Grace Smith lett Thursday morning for their new home in Plymouth. Mrs, McFlrath and children leave many friends who will miss them, but wish them well in their new home. Mrs. Watkin8 and Grace also have a host oi friends here, made during their short stay among us. Ftna Green cor ner of Warsaw Times. Hoosier8 may very appropriately tee! somewhat elated over the fact that it was the cruiser Indiana, that captured tho Spanish warship in Cuban waters. The Indiana carries a set of silver service, the gift of ihe people of the Old Hoosier State at the time she was placed in commission a few years ago, and it is quite natural for Indiana people to take some pride in the great ship named after the state. The strange case of Henry Williams, a young man 2'.i years old, and a resident of Stark county, says a dispatch is attracting the attention of the medi cal fraternity and is a marked example for cigarette smokers. Williams became addicted to the use of cigarettes. and as a result of continuous smoking lapsed into a comatose condition in which he remained for thirty hours. He recovered consciousness, but his mind is now blank. He does not recognize his most intimate friends and ac quaintauces. A Fdge of Kebeka's was instituted last night in the Odd Fellows' hall. It will be known as the "Silver Star" lodge No. 128. John U. Kuhn, noble guard; Mrs. Godfrey Shearer, vice grand; Gust Wolf, sec; and Mrs. J. C, Kuhn, treas. Considerable interest was manifested by the members. It will only be a short time until "Silver star" lodge will be one of the largest in point of members in this part of the state. Their next meeting will be held Friday night. May 'lh. This much seems pretty well es tablished, that the Alaskan gold tields. from the very nature of their location, are destined to exact a terrible tribute of suffering, sickness and death from the multitudes of expectant mortals that are Hocking so eagerly and unadvisedly to them, and that men not endowed with great endurance, nor blessed with the health and vigor of young manhood, are running a fearful risk in staking their hopes and the future prospects on "striking it rich" in the Klondike. A good story is told of the late Vizepresident Hannibal Hamlin of Maine. A public meeting had been called at which only two persons appeared, him self and a farmer of great weight and stature. Hamlin wrote out a series of resolutions and added that they were unanimously adopted by a large and respectable meeting. The farmer protested. "Mr. Hamlin how can we say that? There are but two of us." "Oh well, never mind," said Hamlin, "you are large, and I am respectable; that's all right." A Mishawaka dispatch says: "Five policemen raided the den of a robber band near the Michigan state line Fri day night, when several thousand dollars' worth of jewlery and merchandise was recovered and nine members of the gang were captured. This band has been operating in northern Indiana for the past eight months. The prisonejs range in age from IS to 25. The confession of one of them connects the band with the Lake Shore and Grand Trunk station robberies the Wakarusa Bank robbery, and the looting of various stores and residences . " Governor Mount says: "The best soldiers of the civil war were boys be tween 16 and 21. I will never forget what General Kosencrans once re marked. Surveying our regiment he said: 'Colonel, you've lots of boys in your regiment, but, colonel, give them plenty of rations and they will make soldiers.' 1 have seen big strong men break down after a few months of service, but the boys invaribly stood it through. So let the boys volunteer for a war with Spain if they want to and I predict now that the boys will be the country's maiustay in that struggle." Information from the Dunkard colony in South Dakota is decidedly unfavorable. Letters from Carrington says the farmers have no money and as most of them mortgage their crops iu

advance for supplies they scarcely ever

see any money. Some recent Indiana arrivals, i' says, have already started east aeain and others would go if they had the means to make the round. The writer saw a man who had worked on a tarm all last summer and did not receive a cent of wages until fall, and others who had no money to get home are working for their board and glad to get that. Peru Chronicle. In all the wars and i uruors of wars since the colonies rebelled against British tyranny, the war at present threatened with Spain is the only one in winch the people ot the whole j country have been practically united. ln t)e war ot the Revolution there ' was a vry formidable tory paity in no' oi the colonies, la the war of the opposition in many States U threatening. There was strong opposition to the Mexican war. In the la'e civil war tilteen States were in open and defiant rebellion, with a large anti-war party in many of the loyal States. But in the present case, outside of a few thousand non combatants and an insignllcant gang of tory money-sharks, the poeple of every S'ate and Territory in the I'nion are united, and present a solid front to the enemy. Power of the Pres. An exchange says: The printing press has made presidents, killed poets, furnished bustle9 for beauties, and punished genius with criticism It has curtailed the power ot Kings, converted bankers into paupers, and graced pantry shelves. It has made paupers out ot college presidents; it has educated the homeless and robbed the philosopher of his reason; it smiles and cries, dies, but it can't be run to suit everybody, and the man will go crazy who tries. Hyperion I. .Hl;- eleet- Officer. At the meeting of Hyperion Lodge K. of P., Marion Guire, was elect d prelate;.!. D. McCoy, master-at-arms; B. A. Sinn, outside guard; and G. G. Love, inner guard. The session was lively and interesting. The above oilicers were elected to fill out the unexpired terms of officers who are out of the city indefinitely. The Enemy Is Oursi The grippe usually leaves the sufferer in a very feeble condition, with a persistent cough and other premonitory symptoms of pulmonary affection. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup promptly administered at the beginning of an attack of grippe, will forestall that dangerous enemy to life consumption. Mrs. Maggie Tulga, Ironton, Ghio, says : '-It affords me much pleasure to bear testimony to the merits of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. I had been a offerer from the grippe for a week, I tried a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, and aller taking it, was completely curcu of the dreadful cough and disease.
