ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTYFIVE GRADUATES ASSEMBLE. RlMWWM Speeches BefltMag the Occasion -Mr. Ii iiiiiiiiiii)I Ke-elerte President of the Aliiutiii fteeociatl lulu by Elbrl'a Qrclw4re of outli ltul. One of the most pleasing events of the season occured Thursday evening in the audience room of the Washington street school building. It was the assembling of the alumni of the Plymouth high school dating back to the year 1870. About one hundred and seventy-live were present. The gradu ates assembled in the high school room and fcr one hour hand shaking and social chat and interchange of courtesies were indulged in. Libels celebrated orchestra of South Bend was secured for the occasion and discoursed sweet music for this happy assembly. At 9 JO the class of '70 led the way to the large audience room where a splendid spread was in waiting. The other classes followed in their order, the class of 8 b-inging up the rear. The school board and teachers led the way. After berjg seated a duet was rendered by the Misses Vockey. which was much appreciated. The "babies" of the alumni family came in for congratulations which appellation was much appreciated bj the parents of the "babies." 1 'resident C. P. Drummond euggesred that the time for choosing a president for the alumni had arrived, and by a unanimous vote Mr. Drummond was choseu as his own successor. The banquet then followed which was replete in every particular. A bass solo by Frnory Hess was one of the pleasing features following the banquet. The roll call of all the graduates was next in order and those present answered to their names, and the absentees were accounted for. Short speeches were made by President Drummond, l'rof. D, Frank Bedd and others. As each class was called, extempore i espouses were made by some member of that class. Some of the speeches were humorous, while others took on a tinge of sadness in alluding to some of the graduates who had passed over the dark river to the great beyond. The principal address was made by l'rof. Chase, which is spoken of in the most eulogistic terms by those who had the exquisite pleasure of being present. At the conclusion of Prtf. Chase's address, the assembly arose, sang the doxology, and were dismissed. CITY DADS MET. All Members Present Kxeept Councilman II arris.

Flatus and specifications were in the hands of Councilman Dickenson for the erection of a wooden bridge, something that no tax payer in Plymouth wants or will approve of. The old wooden structures in Plymouth have had their day, and the people were surprised that Mr. Dickenson would sanction anything of the kind.

Superintendent of water works was instructed to purchase twelve water metres. Street commissioner made his report which was received and filed. Water committee made a report on petition of H. J.

The number of recruits wanted for Company "M" was 86, but as the examinat'on was very rigid, and his time limited but 16 could be procured. Major Feaser in company with Sergeant Ford think that they will bei able to recruit the remaining ten in j South Bend. Major Feaser was proud of the boys from Plymouth and stated j that they were almost perfect speei i mens of physical manhoou. A large I crowd was at the L. E. & W. depot to give the boys a good send off and wish them a happy return to home and friends. The War Fever. The boy had enlisted in the army -had slipped away from home and "jined the regiment," and the old couple worried over it until the mother decided that the old man must go after him and bring him home. After w. ary journeys the old man reached the camp and saw his boy on dress parade and heard the band play "Dixie" as of old, and he got enthused, and "hurrayed" m . ouaer tnan anyone eise, ana patipo nis boy on the shoulder, and telegraphed home: "Maria - The durn thing looks so much like old times that I think 1 will j'ine her myself! Send my old nlle an' canteen by express. Hooroar! All well." -Atlanta Constitution. Spanish sympathizer Driven Away. Walkerton Independent: The Hack smith who worked for M. K. Burger several weeks was made to leave town Sunday night for expressing sympathy for the Spanairds. Ho had given utterance to very diesagreeable remarks on different occasions, it is said, but on Sunday night he was particularly offensive in his remarks, A crowd got together and advised the fellow to get out of town which he was not slow in doing. This is the second Spanish sympathizer who has been given his walking papers from this place Muzzle Your logs. All dogs found without a muzzle from July 1st to Aug. 30 h will be shot by the marshal. This law applies to all dogs found within the corporate limits of the city of Plymouth. Owners of dogs will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly, as Marshal Meyers says that he will enforce the ordinance to the letter. The law is all right and should be obeyed as a dog without a muzzle during the months of July and Ai. gust is dangerous. Ke Careful. The provision of the new war revenue bill, relating to promissory notes, should be carefully looked up by all merchants. As we are informed by a prominent bank oflicial, each note must bear stamps corresponding in value to the face of the note and across each stamp must be written in ink the name of the maker and the date, which must correspond with the date of the note. Failure to carry out these provisions will invalidate the note. Reuth of .lohn Weither. J ohn Webber died Tuesday morning at 9'JS0 io his room in the lloham block. Mr. Webber had been atllicted with a complication of diseases for several months.

Carcia, the Cuban leader, tells Sampson that it will be easy to whip the Spanish army, but difficult to drive

it out of Cuba. The army defeated will break up iuto many guerrilla bands, each of which will have to be hunted down. It may not be necessary for the army to be defeated for this method ol" warfare to be assumed. The Spaniards may continue as they have begun, avoiding pitched battles and resorting to bushwhacking.

Wednesday evening rccured the marriage of James A. Cilmore, Jr., one of Plymouth's sturdy young men, to Miss Lillian Knoblock, also of this city. The ceremony was performed at the Presbyterian church by Kev. W. O. Lattimore, of Crown Point. It was a pretty service, charmingly executed in the fore front ot an exceptional collection of evergreens. The bride was dressed in white organdy over white taffetta silk, elaborately trimmed with insertion and pearls. She wore a veil of white tulle and car ried bride's roses. The maid of honor, Miss Lulu (Jilmore, of Howell, Mich., was dressed m white organdy over blue silk and carried La France roses. The bridesmaids were Miss Maud Thompson, of Bremen, and Miss Helen Disher, of this city. The former wot e a dress of white organdy over yellow silk and carried Marsellineile roses; and the latter wore a gown of white organdy over blue silk and carried American beauties. The bridegroom, with best man and ushers, was attired in the conventional full-dress suit. Miss Helen Disher and Miss Thompson with the gentlemen ushers advanced to receive the bridal party as they entered for the ceremony. Miss Grace Thompson, of Bremen, played Mendelsohn's wedding march. During the ceremony "Oh Pre mise Me was beautifully rendered. It was a ring ceremony, Master Mark Lauer bearing the ring to the altar on a white satiu pillow. Little Cecil Burkett scattered roses in the pathway of the bridal party as they left the church. The ushers were Messrs. Gideon Blain, Lott Losey, Jesse Gilmore and George Wolford. Fdwin Mayer was best man. After the ceremony the party was given a reception at the home of the groom's parents by the immediate friends of the young couple. At the conclusion of the reception tne happy couple took the ten o'clock train on the Yaudalia for South Bend where they changed cars for Niagara falls. Mr. Gilmore wa6 pretty smooth puting up a job on his friends, instead of boaraing the train at the depot he had made arrangements for the tram to stop at the pickle factory. The plan worked like a charm but as he was congratulating himself on how he had hoodwinked his boon companions, Fdwin Mayer, Charlie Wiltfong and Jesse Gilmore were discovered in their car. They had loaded themselves down with old shoes, rice and playing cards and corralled the bridal party, staying with them until Lapa was reached. They covered them all over with rice and other articles too numerous to mention until the groom cried "enough." With a hearty hand shake and a God speed the young men bade them good-bye at Lapaz. .lames Gilmore, jr., is smooth, but his friends proved smoother. Kireiiinli I'iciiie.
