Mr. llolem was 48 years of age and well known to almost every pet SOU in Marshall county. The members of the Plymouth band were at their best laät night, and the music rendered by them was of a high order. "The Stars and Stripes Forever" caught the crowd and loud cheers were given for the old Plymouth band. Archie Wilcox was taking lessons today iu the post otlice in the general routine work of the otlice. Archie will prove himself a good clerk. Deputy Yockey is a close observer of events and he gave Archie some valuable instructions. Now that Joe I.eiter's big wheat deal has been doted and the young plunger is a bankrupt, we preoume he will be entitled to sympathy for his misfortune. There is no man or set of men that are able to coiner the world's markets for any considerable length of time. At one time Wednesday night there were four privates doing guard duty along the lines of the 157th any of whom can draw a personal check for $15,000 that would be honored by any bank in Indiana. They were Privates Hawks and Latta of (loshen; Corbin, of Plymouth, and Loer, of Angola. The 157th is one of the wealthiest regiments in the service, (ioshen News. It is reported on the street today that Congressman Koyse took occasion this morning to tell certain republicans who live in Plymouth, arid took part in the convention down at Rochester yesterday, just what he thought of them.

He struck a tarter in the person of J . W. Seiders. There were oth?rs in the deal and for a short time the atmosphere was blue. Koyse kept his temper as did also Mr. Seiders, but it was quite evident that the latter was strictly in it. The wheat crop in Marshall county is of such excellent quality and such satisfying quantity as to make the farmers smile in anticipation of the bountiful harvest now upon them. The merry hum of the binder is already heard in a few golden wheat fields and by the tirst of next week it is thought tiie harvest will be in progress quite generally. The crop is in excellent condi tion and it is believed nothing but a hard hail storm or some such catastrophe will injure it. Among other supplies to be furnish ed to the troops iu Cub3 will be 25.000 cylindrical mosquito head nets, contracted for at 95 cents each. They are made with a wire frame, supporting mosquito netting, which is weighted with shot to keep it close to the shoulders and prevent mosquitoes or Hies flora getting in. They can be kept over the head when the men ere sleep ing, and will no douDt be useful, hut an army of mosquito head nets would look funny on dress parade. esterday the sheriff took possession of all t he machinery, tools, stock, work tinished and unfinished, in fact all the personal property of the Fhktron cycle works, owned and controlled by liass & McDonald of Ft. Wayne The sale of the same is set for July 18. One thousand circulars will be sent out to all leading manufacturers and trade journals describing the property, thus insuring a large attendance of bidders. As the plant is one of the best of its kind in the country and as the amount to be realized for protection of lbs laborers is only 61600, it is safe to stale that the bojs have every reason to feel assured that they will soon have their back pay. A poor forlorn looking woman called at the Independent office today and told a pitiful story. She stated that she was on her way to Michigan, her old home. She said she had her little six year old daughter with her and that they were on their way to their old home from Kansas. We contributed to her relief to the extent of 25 cents. One hour after we saw this poor forlorn cieature in company with a two hundred pound strong man. They stopped in front of a saloon and while the woman held the team this good man rushed into the saloon and had his "growler" tilled. Some one explain which of the two did right t The 25 cents was contributed in good faith to help a poor starving woman and her child. The child proved to be a big hurley rutlian who ought to be locked up, or made to break stone. From Saturday's Dally. The funeral of John llolem ocenred today from Trinity church in West township. The new brick walk just completed at the corner of Center and Laporte streetB (ills a long felt want. The heavy rainfill of last night was not what the farmers wanted. It was bad ou the wheat and meadows. Congressman Koyse need not inquire "Who frow'd dat Brick f"1 for he knows it was the fellows who did not get the postotlice. One of the guns on the Massachusetts is named the "John L. Sullivai." It will try for a blow on Cervera's solar plexus. Here is good news for the bald-heads, (io to Alaska; there is no baldness there, and one's hair springs up like a gourdvine in a night.

The Indiana Novelty company made a big shipment of telephones to Chicago. It w is the biggest shipment of telephones that ever left Plymouth. Gold seekers who left for the Klondike country last fall are returning to the states. Hut very few of them are bringing back any gold. In many cases the venture proved a losing one from a money standpoint, but the experience

The wheat in many lie'ds was blown down last night and it will require several days of warm sunshine to bring it up BO that the reapers can handle it . Dynamite is being used by unknown parties up at Koontz lake and hundreds ot lish have been killed. The people are indignant and some prosecutions will follow. The supreme court has decided that a mechanic's lien upon improvements

placed upon re.l estate is paramount to Hielten of a mortgage prior to the improvement. A ple.sint and social party was held a' the residence of L. I. Cspron last night. About torty young people were present and the occasion was certainly a very pleasant allair. Messrs Shambaugh and Dibbie brought back twenty-live big lisn as a result of their days (toning at Rig lake yesterday. They declare upon their bonor that the catch was fair and square. Lieut. Will J. Lankenau has been promoted to brigade quartermaster. A very important and responsible position in the United States army. Of course his salary has been correspondingly increased. John W.

At the couuty superintendents convention held iu Indianapolis Tuesday and Wednesday they raised the grade 5 pr cent on six months licenses. The oid grade was minimum 65 and general average 75. It is now 72 and NO per cent. If the report that Admiral Camara and his phantom Meet are bound for the Philippines is well founded it must appear that the admiral with the kodac name is looking for trouble. Dewey is slill over there and knows the lay of the land. Dr. and Mrs. F. O. Colvin and daugh ter, of Buchanan, Mich., spent last night in this Jity the guests of Misses Lizzie and Dora Dickson and C.

Governor Mount has notilied the captains of all the companies which come under the 75,000 call to have their companies ready to report for duty early next week at Indianapolis. The The full quoto of 106 men exclusive of ofileari must be reported. It is stated that out of 613 appointments of commissioned otlicers 400 were given to civilians, and yet of the 400 civilians appointed, Kryan seems to be the only man against whom a kick has been made, and yet of all the civilians he may be best suited to perform the duties required of him. Silver Star lodge, Daughters of Kehekah, elected the following otlicers for the ensuing term. Mrs. Joseph Arney, Noble Grand; Mrs. J E. F lis, Vice Grand; Mrs. Jessie iloham, Secretary; Mis. Charles Wrightsman, Treasurer. The attendance was quite large and the session lively and interesting. The household goods of Mr. A. D. Smith, at one time a citiz.en of Plymouth, was sold by Sheriff Marshall this afternoon at public auction to the highest bidder. The sale took place in the vacant room formerly occupied by F. M. Axe. As an auctioneer Jean will rank with the best in this part of Indiana. Some of the merchants in Plymouth complain of the injustice done them by parties who sell them produce, and as soon as the merchants are supplied they take in every street in town and supply private families, and as a result some of the merchants fail to dispose ol the vegetables purchased from those peddlers. Here is a small sermon from the columns of an exchange that is full to the brim with good meat: "There are as many boys as girls in the infant classes of our Sunday-schools, but onehalf as tinny boys as girls in the Rible classes. Women outnumber men three to one in the church, but in the state prison the men outnumber the women fifty to one. This sad proportion tells its own tale too many boys have sow their wild oats,"

Rlood hounds were put on the trail of the thievec and they brought up at Crystal lake and a few bushels of corn was found in a wagon belonging to some campers. Three of the campers were taken to Warsaw and their trial is set for July th. The Ftna Green blood hounds are eaid to be good ones. The small boy and the festive lire cracker are now once more pnmiinent factors in every day life. It is only reasonable to believe that there will be no diminution in the number of accidents and that by the time the auspicious day arrives, the average person will wish that the inventor of the tire cracker could be wafted hence by the explosion of the eutire world's product. Sergeant Gillard now has 36 names enrolled as recruits for Company M. Major Feaser arrived in the city this morning and is completing the arrange ment8. Di. Knott is the examining physician. The boys are a healthy looking lot of young men and Major Feaser will have no trouble in getting the required 86 men needed. The ex amination will probably be concluded this evening. The boys are very anxious to get into the service and join their comrades at Tampa, Florida. The defeat of 2,000 Spaniards near Santiago by a force of 1,000 Americans is not at all surprising. The Rough Riders are, many of them, familiar with Mexican lighting, and a Mexican is as good a soldier as the Spaniard ever was. In fact, our record is rather better than victory with odds of two to one. At Ruena Vista Taylor's little army of 5,000 was confronted by 20,000 of Santa Anna's regulars and routed them. Americans thought nothing of encountering such odde in the Mexican war.

He drove around town awhile and took a few drinks of the ardent and headed for Tyner. There he met Rert Sutherlin and bantered Rert for a trade They could not agree on terms, but Rert finally told him that if everything was all right and square he would give him S5 "to boot." This did not satisfy Miller and he left Tyner lor Pretty lake. He returned to Tyner about 10 p. m. and called Sutherlin again and told him be

Sutherlin told him be didn't want to trade, but after much coaxing he finally offered Miller $4 between the rigs, which amount Miller accepted. The trade was complete, exchanging horse, buggy and harness. Sam jumped into the buggy and j drove toward Lapa and left the horse tied to a post in front of Milton White's residence, one and a half miles northeast of that city. That is the last that has been seen of Miller. Mr. Yanscoik started in search of his rig Saturday morning and soon heard of the horse and buggy found at Mr, White's residence. He hastened there but was disappointed in finding that it was not his property. Yesterday in company with Marshall Myers they journeyed to Tyner and when near the residence of Rert Sutherlin he dis covered that gentleman in possession of the much sought for hoise and buggy. Van claimed the property and Sutherlin explained how he came in possession of it and brought the rig to Plymouth aDd turned it over to Mr. yanscoik. Sutherlin is out four dollars and Yanscoik about ten, as Miller disposed of a lap robe worth four dollars : and the other expense makes bim short ' about S10. The thief will soon be ap prehended.
