There is no improvement in the condition of Charlie Leonard, and he is still a very sick man. Canada field peas. Seed at F. A. Forbes. 2tw Those who failed to get into the first enlistment need not worry as they will have plenty of chance yet. The Marshall County physicians association met this afternoon at the otlice of Dr's Borton and Aspinall. The little city of Marmont yesterday went republican by rive majority. Sixty-four to sixty-nine is the way it is reported. I have some bargains in corn plows. See me before you buy F. A. Forbes. 2tw Three hundred soldiers passed through the city last night destined for Washington City where they will be assigned to the C S. Navy. Sbambaugh learned a lesson, so he says. And that from this time on, and forever Amen, no traveling fake will ver tret the best of him like the long haired artist did yesterday. In Fort Wayne a number of republican candidates for councilmen have been dropped from the tax duplicates for tha reason that taxes could not be collected from teem. There are others. W. E. Bailey, was on the streets this morning for the first time in a week. Mr. Bailey has been suffering with abcesses under his arms during this interval and the pain has been almost unbearable. The great Klondike is seldom mentioned. The war excitement has buried the gold fields of Alaska. Yet it is a fact that there are thousands engaged at the present time in trying to get over the pass. If a man is a candidate for an office in a town the size of Plymouth, he ought to use all honorable methods to win. One candidate in Plymouth barely took time to vote today. The result in his case can easily be forseen. Germany and Austria are a little slow in coming around with those neutrality proclamations. It is altogether probable that they will fall in line in due time, for they know what will heppen if they do not do so. Captain Dewey is made of the right stuff. His bold and gallant atta k upon the fleets and forts of Manila, won for him the admiration of tne world and makes him a hero in the eyes of all Americans. All honor to Captain Dewey! This week will see Camp Mount settling down to businesi. The play soldiers, whose idea of war is to picnic at Camp Mount at the expense of the government, will be sent home, military discipline will be more strictly enforced and the boys will be put in training for real fighting. A petition was in circulation today and extensiTely signed by the dry goods, clothing and shoe dealers, asking that tbey close their stores. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, at 7:30 p. m., and Monday and Saturday at pleasure. On the 15th., of each month to keep open at pleasure. The time for gamblers at Koby Is Bhort Governor Mount so announces to the sheriff of Lake county and if the latter refuses to act the Governor will insist on his removal. Mr. Mount says the officials have a plenty of law on their side and if they do not enforce it tbey are liable to impeachment. J. K. McDonald, of Ligonier Banner, has commenced the publication of a daily paper in that city to be known as the Evening Bulletin. Mr. McDonald is an experienced newspaper man and knows bow to supply the wants of the reading public. Under hismanange ment the new daily will undoubtedly meet with success. According to Spanish cablegrams that bombardment of Matanzas was a huge joke. The report that the bands played, women paraded the streets waiving flags and the whole populace rejoiced over the inability of the Amer

ican fleet to do damage to their forts and property. They look upon the blockade as a show or bit of amusement, and one enterprising individual is coining money by charging five cents a look at the American fleet through his field glass. The rush for the high places in the

j army is almost equal to the rush for fat offices following presidential elections. A number ambitious young men expect appointments on the reputations of their fathers, also. Hon. John W. Parks, of this city has been elected a delegate to the Interna tional Sunday School Lnion, which meets in London, England, next July. Mr. Parks is now making arrangements to attend, accompanied by Mrs. Parks. They will start from Boston about J uly 2nd on the S. S. Calalonia. Some tall lying is being done by the reporters for Spain, or else the special reporters for the American press are drawingjon theirvivid imaginations. Reports sent to the Spanish papers differ as day and night fiom those sent to the American papers. But it stands Spain in hand now to keep the truth from hr people. Hon. D. McDonald has been appointed Grand Marshal of the order of the Eastern Star, of Indiana, by the (Irand Matron Lizzie J. Smythe. He will be installed this evening t the Masonic hall by H. G. Thayer, Cost Grand Patron as special deputy. A full attendance of the members of the order is requested to be present. The governor's orders in regard to gambling dens and saloons near Camp Mount is timely and should be rigidly enforced, but the Indianapolis News pertinently remarks that when a col onel is entertaining his friends with the best "Columbia Club whiskey," with what grace can he discipline a private that seeks solace in whiskey of a less pretentious origin? The republicans made a clean sweep at Culver City yesterday with the ex ception of city treasurer, that office be ing captured oy a democrat. The following are the names of the successful candidates: For councilmen, Dr. Ilea and Sam'l Medburn, republicans; Dave Smith, marshal, republican; Thomas Slattery, democrat; treasurer, 1-red Carl, republican, clerk. The new regular army organization bill increases the pay of enlisted men 20 per cent in time of war, and as a state of war now exists the increase is now operative. This increases the pay of privates from S13 per month to $15.60, and the pay of non-commissioned officers in the same proportion. The salary of a colonel is $3,500 per jear, major 2,500. captain 81,800, first lieu tenant $1,500 second lieutenant 1,400. A good many ot the men in camp are wocderincr what pay they are to get, and there is a dispute on that ooint. Adiutant General Gore has m - - asked the attorney general for a written opinion on the subject. The law governing the National Guard allows the privates .SI. 50 a day and subsistence, and non commissioned officers si a day and a subsistence, and the commissioned officers the pay of the regular army Durincr the state encampment the 0 - troops are paid 31 a day. After they are mustered in the government service they receive to pay of the regular array. Though there has not been much warm weather so far this spring, and in that respect, the season is backward, yet it has been pretty good season for farmers to do their work, in fact an ex tra good one, and their work is correspondingly far advanced. Oat sowing which is not always finished by the last of April, has been done so long this year, that the oats are all up, and grow ing fairly well. Plowing for corn is very far along. The weather has been too cold for grass, however, and pastur age has been very poor. There is a great prospect for fruit, such as peaches and cherries, in this county. As for aDnles. it is a little early to tell what . r they will do this year, From Wednesday' Daily. There are some warm citizens in Plymouth today. The new city council will consist of more than one man. Don't get mad boys. Take your medicine and lay for them next time. The pension board met in the office of Dr. Wilson today and examined sev eral veterans. Charlie Leoaard is reported some better today, which is good news for his many friends. Mrs R. C. Kloepfer, who has been in Chicago for several weeks taking treat ment, has returned home much im proved in health. P. M. Slick, of New York, is in the city. He is a brother to George Slick, who is on board the battleship "Nash ville" United States Navy, as a signal man. Weatley Wiltfong, a brother of J. W. Wiltfong, fell Tuesday and broke his thigh just above the knee. Dr, Viets attended, assisted by Dr. Niels Lind quilt. There has been considerable "contest" talk on the streets today, but according to republican doctrine, the face of the returns as made by the election board is what cunts Mrs. David Hod, residing tour miles north of the city, died Monday with can cer of the liver. She was about sixty

years of age, and leaves a husband and seven children. Kev. Smith preached the funeral. C. L. Morris treated the town to

buttermilk today. Fred liotset man aged the distribution. The sign," Wake up and take your buttermilk" was hoisted on the wagon. A California thief sold his plunder for 814 and with the monev paid an honest debt. As soon as the moral of this incident has been studied out it will be duly announced. Mrs. J . F. Wood of Parsons Kansas, arrived here last night to spend the summer with her sisters, Mrs. W. V. Sponsler, Mrs. .lulius liorn of this city, and Mrs. Fore of Bremen. The other day a coroner's jury returned a verdict that "the deeedanl came to his death by being stsuck by a railroad train in the hands of a receiver." That must be a deadly weapon. owthat the election is over and things settled for another four years, let the council and the people get down to the work of continued public improvement. There is opportunity for much to be done in Plymouth yet this season. The orders of the Eastern Siars held a very interesting and pleasant session last night. The reports ot the officers who attended the Grand Chapter at Indianapolis made their reports, which were very gratifying to the members. The war with Spain is having a splen did effect on the study of geography in the public schools. We venture the as sertion that ther e are many scholars who have a better knowledge of the Philippine islands.than they ever would have g. tten save for this war. Ilermon Gast, son of Peter Gast, of this city, but who has been attending school at the orphan's home at K nights -town, writes his father that he has enlisted and is now one of Uncle Sam's boys. Herman is a fine young man and will make a good soldier. The Argos staff daughters of Rebecca will be in Plymouth Friday night, and initiate a number of ladies and gentlemen into the Rebeka lodge in this city recently instituted by American lodge, No. 911. O. O. F. The members of the order are expecting a splendid time. A new proposed army wrinkle is to attach to each regiment a noncomba taat to e known as recorder, whose duty shall be to write each day a record of regimental events. The idea comes from a Btate historian who knows the difficulty experienced in later years in writing the history of 1,000 men. If the war correspondents will kindly make up their minds one way or the other concerning that cable, whether it has btan cut or not, a great load will be lifted from the minds of thinking readers. If it has been cut it is clear that a whole lot of this news is just simply bounding through the air. .ies Lotta Suseland entertained about thirty five of her young Iriends at her home on South Michigan street last night. The young people report a very pleasant time. It was the 15th anniversary of Miss Lotta's birth, and her friends made the occasion one long to be remembered. Light refreshments were served. This has been a chilly day for a number of Plymouth people, but it is hoped that the sunshine whJ ;h will be here to morrow will warm ihem up, ami the election of yesterday will be forgotten, so far as any personal feelings over the result of the contest may be. Some one had to be defeated, and iiad It been the other fellow he would have felt sore. Columbia City is to have a novel en tertainment which the Commercial of that city is just now advertising quite vigorously. The Kathbone Sisters are to have a baby show. The committee to decide the merits of the little beauties will be Mrs. Dan McDonald of Flymouth, Mrs. James Parries of Auburn, and Messrs Lane and Monihan of Fort Wayne, and Mrs. J. E, Sutton of Lo gansport. A large attendance at the May festival at the M. P. church next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings is assured. A half hour of varied and attractive music each evening, and an oration completes the program. Speak ers who are able to please and profit have been secored. The admission is only öOcts, for the three evenings or 25cts, each evening, for those who do not take season tickets. A young man in Michigan -just for a joke silver plated some cents and passed them as dimes on an unsuspect ing groceryman. He had passed nearly a dozen when the grocer discovered the joke and complained to the authorities. The young man was arrested for counterfeiting, and, although he explained the funny part to the court, he was convicted, and will spend the next two years of his life in prison. It is daugerous to try any jokes on Uncle 'jam. The Wabash Flam Dealer advises the people not to feed the tramps. In the dead of winter when it is next to impossible for a laborer to secure work, it is all right to feed the. hungry tramp who applies for aid, if a person feels like it, but at the present time there is plenty of work in the city and country and there is no excuse for hobos tramping about from place to place. A vast majority of the tramps would make good soldiers, but so far as heard from none of them have enlisted. As has

been stated time and time again the average tramp is a wortnless vagabond wtio will steal and commit other acts of lawlessness, and the citizens do wrong

j who feed them, when it is known that j they could find wor: if they looked for lit. From Thursday's Dally. C. C. Bergman :s visit in cr relatives in Peru this week. The little child of Mr. Myer, the tailor is quite sick. What has become of the great oil boom down at Peru ? A number of email election bets were canceled yesterday and today. Mrs. George Baylor is vibitmg her son Charles at Laporte this week. None of the newly eleded officers will take their seats before September next . Even the curbstone politician! have quit taikmg about the election ot Tuesday. There are 1 . 138 children of school age in Ply mouth ; ÖTy.i are boys and 5-;; are girls. s. K. Smith will shortly move to Michigan where he will ret.de peraia nently. The pension board examined five old veterans yesterday lor an increase in their pension. Soma women, like some men, conduct themselves in such a manner as tobring disgrace on both sexes. C. B. Leonard was reported a great deal battar today, and it is hoped that he may continue to improve. Ivan Rainer, the barber who works for Manie Harris, is on the sick list to day, and has been unable for duty. War news has not been very exciting I he pat few days, but it is the opinion at Washington that a great battle will be fought loon There will be no contest by either Marshal Myers or Charlie Wilcox for the unices for which they were candi dates on Tuesday. The Maine Nlemorial association of New York has sent out circulars designating Sunday May 8th, and atk that all churches observe that day. The County candidates are hustling nowadays. The convention is called for May 28, and it will be one of the livliest ever held in the county. There was but little business transacted in Plymouth this forenoon. No farmers came to town, and the cold rain gave everybody the blues. Daniel McDonald is now in Yincennes, looking up data for the Masonic history which he is now writing by authority ot the grand lodge of Indiana. Elder C. C. Ramsay, of Philadelphia who was announced to speak at the Church of God in this city on next Sunday is unable to be here. Notice will be given later. Mr. Louis Yernette and Miss Sharlot H. Cutbman, both of Marshall county, were married by Rev. O. F. Landis at the I'. li. parsonage. They will make their home in Bourbon. In the light of history it is wondered that pain can place any reliance upon her armada. She has not a single liist class naval victory to her record of hundreds of years of failures. Pension Agent Love executed 115 vouchers yesterday. In ten days the checks will arrive in Plymouth, which will represent close to $3,000 all of which will be spent in Plymouth. City Clerk Leonard furnished each of the newly elected officers a certificate of election today. Will says that he don't care for a new one, as he will make the old one last him four years more. Somehow those hard and harsh names which the Spanish leadtrs continue to call the Americans do not seem to get down very deep. The calling of hard names will take no ships. The more that Phillippine feat is considered the greater it becomes. As a bit of pure naval daring it piobably has no parallel in history. It is a victory which daily grows in magnitude. Harry Corbin telegraphed Capt. Capron, that he would return to Indianapolis tomorrow with fifteen men to take the place of those who were rejected on failure to pass the medical examination. The Hon. John J . Ingall?, ex senator of Kansas, is not pleased with the way President McKinley is conducting the marine campaign. The Hon. John J. is not satisfied with anything these days not even with himself. It is to be hoped for the good name of Plymouth that none of those young men who went down to Indianapolis as members of company "M" will show the "white feather" thereby disgracing their home and friends, by refusing to enlist in U. S. service, Remember the May festival at the M. B. church, May 1U. 11 and II Oratory and music. As good speakers as the state affords; profound thought, enlivened with wit, humor, pathos and deftly told stories, inwrought with the witchery of eloquence an enterprise in every way worthy. Don't waste your breath praying for the safety of Commodore Dewey. He has a convenient kuack of taking care of himself. Hut just think ol that

"proclamatiug" governor general of the Philippines who is sparine euns of the Asiatic squadron in the muzzle. Indiana never eels left. In the great battle off the Philippine islands, wherein Commodore Dewey made himself fa-uous, Lieut. Albert N. Wood, an Indi ina boy, took an active part. He was on board the Petrel, which made a record in that terrible naval conflict. All young rmm who wish to join Company M, and become soldiers for li.cie Sam, are requested to meet in Justice Corbin's olfice from 7 to p. m. Now is your time young men. Transportation will be furnished for those tiiat apply. Don't let the opportunity escipe. Not long ago a South Bend cigar manufacturer nt on a new brand of cicars and marked them "Spanish Made." They did not sell. He changed the label to "Cuban Mule" and now they go like hot cakes. The word "Spanish" is a hoodoo iu America just now . The following marriage licenses have been issued the past week: William Susan and Ida Knsperger; Freeman B. Hahn and Princes D. Seymour; John J. Wallace and Catherine T. Hardsough; Charles E. Dettbrenner and Christie M. Smith; Louis Vemette and S.'.arlot H.

Cushman. The defeated candidates have recijv ered from their surprise on Tuesday, and are themselves again. We have heard of no complaints from any source. The successful candidates are not mak ing any noise on account of their vie tory. The majorities were too email to admit of any jolifying. The Odd Fellows of Plymouth are expecting and anticipating a grand time at their lodge room Friday night. The Daughters of Rebekah will initia e a number of ladies and gentleman into the mysteries of this splendid and magniricient order. It will be a red lette; night for Americus lodge. Last fall there was lots of oil talk in Plymouth, and several meetings were held by business men for the purpose of organizing a stock company, but nothing was ever accomplished. Some of those interested wanted to wait until spring before beginning operations. Well spring is here and so are the men. The soldiers in Camp Mount are hot. Many of them threaten to leave and some have already skipped out. They don't like to be governed by a regular army officer. The chances are that when they line up for the final examination the 3rd Regiment will be short a few hundred men, The boys can't monkey with a regular army ( Uicer. Under orders from the postmaster general all letters and packages mailed in the I'nited States and addressed to persons in Spain are to be sent, to the dead letter olfice in Washington Some letters thus forwarded have been found of sufficient importance to justify placing them in the hands of the government detectives. Itisssid this has not been done since the war of 1812, although during the civil war letters were intercepted by order of the treasury or justice departments when it was supected that they contained oflicial in formation. Messrs Kuhn and Morris, the newly elected councilmen are caref ul business men in whom the people of I My mouth can rely. The democrats would have much preferred their defeat however because of the fact that in their election the control of the city patronage re mains in the hands of the rep:iblicans. It now remains to be seen as to how faithful will be their acts to an expectant constituency. Few aldermen are as strong in the hearts of the people after a term of service than the are be fore they have been tried. ill the newly elected men break the record ? Not all clergymen are credited with being as frank as one who stands in the pulpit of one of the principal churches of Marquette, Mich. A week or two ago he was traveling on a train in company with a local lawyer. The attorney, who is troubled with insomnia, was complaining that he hadn't been able to get any sleep the night before. "In fact," 6aid he, "I can't get an hour's good, comfortable sleep at any time." 'Is that so V" said the clergyman, leaning over and speaking confidentially. "Ii an hour will do any good, come around next Sunday morning and hear me preach." Indianapolis Sentinel: There is a good deal of soreness among the boys who have felt themselves compelled from one cause and another to leave camp, over the interview given by (Jov Mount, in which he said some very pointed things, expressing his opinion of men who would come to camp at the expense of the state with the intention of dropping out betöre the time arrived for enlistment into the federal service. The criticism against the governor is that he has taken it as granted that every man who has concluded to go home came with the sole idea In view of having a good time at the expense of the state for a few days. The soldiers down at ('amp Mount are not doing just as Governor Mount would like to have them do. It is sta ted that over six hundred of the three thousand now in camp will return to their homes, as they don't care to join the United States army. The governor is hot under the collar, and he hasn't a very good opinion of the boys who went down there just to have a picnic

at the expense of the state. He say they will get no pay for the time they have spent in camp, and he is sorry that the state is compelled to furnish them transportation to their homes. Company "M" arill likely lose a few members, judging from what is heard on the streets today. Frank Thomas is now nearing the Klondike, the lead that abounds w ith gold nuggets, and for which Frank has lent; soucht. He will win if any man in the outfit wius. His nerve and de termination to reach that country is to be commanded, He deserves to win. He is only a h y In age but he is a man, nevertheless. Over 600,000 volunteers have otlered their services to the government under the le-enf call for ISgOOO men. It is believed that 2,000,000 would enlist, if necessary, to drive the Spaniards from ( una, and this number is greater than the entire population of the island. Such an uprising against a false and crual nation is one of the remarkable events of the century. The lesson it conveys will have an important be-iring on the powers of the Old WorM. It will admonish them that this country has the men and resources to assert its prerogative as the controling factor of of the Western hemisphere. Its edicts as to that part of the world must be recognized as supreme law. Down in Roone ccunty there is a paper published called the Lebanon Re porter which got oil the following, ded icatedtothe merchants of that town: "If yon apiect to conquer in the battle of today, you will have to blow your trumpet in a firm and steady way. If you toot your little whistle and lay aside your horn, there's not a soul will know such a man was ever born. The man that owns his acres is the man that plows all day, and the man that keeps a humming is the man that is here to stay. Bui the man who advertises with a sort of sudden jerk is the man that blames the printer because it doesn't work. The man t hat gets the business uses brainy printer's ink not a clatter or a splutter, but an ad that makes you think; and tie plans an advertisement as he plans a well built stock, and the Future of his businesi is as solid as a rock.
