Hogarth ft Co. LOCAL BREVITIES. From Tuesday's Dally. Impress Agent Leonard's wounded arr' is not improving very rapidly and caLses him much pain. J. H. Cugh, editor of the Pythian Journal, of Indianapolis, was a visitor to Hyperion lodge last night. Major Teaser and Sergt. Ford left on the noon train today for South Bend and will leave for Tampa, Florida, tomorrow. "Mobos"' seem to make Goshen and Elkhart their head quarters, and they make life miserable for the inhabitants of those towns. The delegates to the Y. P. C. U. convention now in session iu Plymouth, received a hearty welcome from the people of our city. There are some lively people in Plymouth at the present Ume, and the way they are carrying on mil be the cause of swelling the schooi fund. The gas and oil excitement in Indiana which drove people almost crazy eight months ago has been forgotten. The war lever is now master of the situation. Schuyler Hhinehart and Schuyler Beerbower have purchased the hack and baggage line of Charlie Harris, and the business will glide along as usual without hitch. ergeant Ed Gillard in full uniform was the observed by all observers this morning when he was around bidding his friends good uy. Ed is a splendid looking soldier. A farmer said this morning that Marshall county would produce the biggest crop of potatoes this eeason that was ever known before in this part of the state. Eaporte Herald: A little boy was asked what was the best thing he ever read fo the bible and Lis answer was: "If any man haul down the American riag hoot him on the spot." The new uniforms of the Ft. Wayne passenger conductors will consist of black silk caps and dark blue frock coats. The brakemen will wear singlebreasted coats buttoned at the throat. Walkerton will celebrate the Fourth of July r. u Saturday, July 2nd. The Plymouth city band has been secured for lhe occasion and a big rousing time is aLticipated. A number of Plym outh people will attend. Tea is to go up 10 cents a pound on the tiret of July. That is all right, but it would be much more satisfactory if an income tax went into effect at the same time. Wealth ought to pay a part of the burdens oi war, and of peace also. The following Knigots were elected as ollicer8 of Hyperion lodge K. of P. foi the next six months: Chancellor Commander, Clarence Slater; Vice Chancellor, John Nichols; Prelate, J. I). McCoy; I. C, P, A. Sinn; O.G., J. V. Vangilüer. A Spanish lady in Manila who had read the captain general's slander re garding Americans went to the British consul with her passports. The consul said: "Madam, honor and virtue are safer in Manila today than they have beeu for three hundred years." It is the duty of the United State to continue that condition. Frank Hale, an old Plymouth boy, and at one time operator at the Yandalia depot, writes to Ed Corbin of thi9 city, that he visited the Plymouth boys at Tampa, Fla., a few days ago and found them enjoying life and growing fat. He sent three pictures, one of Company "M" on dress parade, another showing the oflicers folding tents, and one shows Sert. Gillard in the act of presenting L.eut. Claud Fish with a water melon. In company with Sergt. Harry Corbin, he witnessed the loading and departure of the transport boats for Cuba. The departure of another lot of recruits to the front today will add new names to the roll Of th086 Who have friends and relatives in the army and give greater cause for apprehension as to their probable return. There is more or less danger in a soldier's life. War is his trade and the taking of human life a part of his duty, but the danger in battle is not so great as many suppose, and if our young soldiers take care of themselves and contract no fatal disease their chances for a return J

to then friends are good. In any event it i best not to worry over their ab 8ence. The experience will be the making of many of them, and should not be the undoiDg of any who pass safely through Us dangers. From Wednesdays Dally. ara Miller, the horse thief, has so far escaped arrest. John L. Lacy has been granted an original pension of 88 per month. Vegetables of all kirn's are cheaper in Plymouth this season than they have been for several years. This is the season when a man never thoroughly wakens up except when a bug gets under his shirt collar. The case against Lottie Fishbnrn has been postponed until Saturdav.on account of the sickness of Mrs. Fish-

burn. Thousands of harvest hands are wanted in Kansas. Three dollars a day and board are the inducements offered. It is reported that Fort Wayne has several cases of smallpox, and that at Delphos and Van Wert, Ohio, over titty cases are reported. Idle men in Plymouth are very scarce at this time. Hay and wheat harvest being in full blast there is no occasion for any one to be out of work. The "Green Stockings,' of South Bend, have found out that there is more glory than money in base ball and will disband in a 1 w days. Christian Manuwal tit. had his pension increased from SS to 17 per month. Chris was a valiant soldier and is every way worthy this handsome increase. From present indication the old wooden bridge on east Carro street will be replaced with a magniticent iron structure which will be an ornament to the city. Councilman 1). K. Harris was able to come down town this morning. Uncle Dan is a little disfigured but still in the ring. Hereafter he savs he will use the elevator instead of the stairs. Molter's band is a drawing card down at Pretty lake. Their nightly concerts are much appreciated by the people who are rusticating on the banks of this beautiful lake, and the music is tine. County Clerk Wiltfong yesterday issued a marriage license to Edward HaLtlanger and Allie Bodenberger, both of this city. The couple were married yesterday afternoon by Bev. L. S. Smith. Bacon retails at S5 per pound up in Alaska. To take a letter from Skaguay to Dawson costs one dollar. A fifty pound sack o fllour costs one hundred dollars. Lumber is $300 per thousand feet. Nails 62.00 per pound. A cruel father over at Hobart gave his 16 year old daughter a sharp lecture for allowing her beau to kiss her on the veranda. The girl cried and said the young man didn't kiss her on the veranda, he merely kissed her on the lips. Walter D. Sharp, a Laporte boy, was one of the brave young men who fell in that memorable battle at La (juasina, near Santiago, last Friday. Young Sharp was a member of 1 loose velt's "Bough Biders." He was 21 years old and a graduate of Vale. The high school bell is silent, no longer marking the time of day and keeping tab on old Sol as he peacefully crosses the heavens. In the meantime the effervescent youth is omnipresent, too busy to run errands, and already counting the days of vacation still unconsumed. The Marshall County Pension board met in regular session today in the office of Dr. .1 . II. Wilson, and several old veterans of the war of Y1 and '." were examined for an increase. I'ncle Sam is looking after the pension roll in a very satisfactory manner at the present time. Twenty years from date there will be but few of those heroes living. Nine thousand troops left Tampa on board twelve transports for Santiago. The 157th Indiana, of which Company M of this city is a part, are now on their way to join Ceneral Shafter, who is now in front of Santiago. This news comes rather suddenly, as it was not expected that Company M would leave Tampa for some time. But, as the boys are very anxious for active service, there is no doubt whatever but there was great rejoicing in camp when the order came. A Tampa correspondent, speaking of the personnel of the companies of ColStudebakei l regiment, says; "Captains Clemens, Gilbert, Salsbury and Capron, Quartermaster Hutson, Lieuts. Glazebrook, Fonner and Sergeant Clemens are all lawyers. There are twelve officers that left salaries of 9180 a month and 150 college graduates in the regiment, besides 380 high school graduates. There has not been a single case of drunkenness brought to the notice of the commanding ofliceis since the men left Camp Mount. There are people whom we often meet whose first impulse seems to bid them to say something unkind or unpleasant, and as a rule they are avoided as much as possible by all; this in turn adds more to their natural bitterness of Bpirtt, and sarcastic speeches get to be

the rule How much pleasanter it t to meet those dear friendo who always have a kind word and a pleasant smile and who never seem to see That ur "nose is crooked." or that we are'drea i fully tanned," or that "those wrinkles are growing deeper every day." Toe funeral of John Michael Christian Webber will take place from the Evangelical church Thursday afternoon at tv.o o'clock, Bev. Grob olliciat ing. Interment will be in Oak Dili cemetery. Mr. Webber was horn in Falkenburg, Cermany, In 1841. He came to America in 1M57 and for two years lived in Laporte. He then came to Plymouth and resided here until his death. He leaves three sons, Henry. Fred and Otto. The former will arrive this evening from his home in Free mont, Neb. The deceased also left one brother, Albert, who resides in this city. As time passes the tramp pest is hecoming more and more of a dangerous public nuisance. The tribe of Wander ing Willies is not only increasing in numbers, but it is also deteriorating and dividing into bands of murderous thieves and scoundlers. Instead of being tramp workingmen looking for employment as was once the case they have become predatory vidians seeking opportunity to rob and steal, and there seems no practical way ol putting an end to their depiedations except by ref using loom f o d and clothing ami by driving them out of settled communities.

From Thursday's Dally. All business houses in Plymouth should be represented in the industrial parade the Fourth of July. Agricultural dealers are about the busiest class of people there is to be found in the city at tins time. Hog cholera is raging iu certain portions of the state. Gov. Mount's agent lias not wiped out he disease yet. The funeral of John Webber took place today at 2 o'clock from the Evangelical church. Bev Grob officiated. Liberty Cross was lined $955 In Justice Beeves court this morning for provoking .lames Deloney last evening. A bright little girl came to the home of Mr and Mrs. Bernard Lauer yesterday, and as a result "Barney" is feeling exceedingly happy. General Miles is talking about the good lighting condition the volunteers will be in by autumn. By that time most of them will be tired waiting. John W. Hauck, of Tippecanoe, has sold his stock of dry goods to William Fifer, of Sidney, Ind. Mr. Fifer will likely move his stock of goods to Sidney. All the banks in Plymouth will be closed on the Fourth of July. They, (the presidents, cashiers and clerks want to take part and help to celebrate the glorious Fourth. For a short time last night on Laporte street, the indications were that blood would be shed, but mutual friends talked the combatants into good humor. It don't pay to light. Last night was an ideal one down at Pretty lake. Sleep was almost out of the question in the city, but those who spent the night down at the lake say that it was cool and balmy. The appearance of night policeman Gullen on the streets this morning at S o'clock led many people to believe that something out of the ordinary had hap pened last night, which proved to be a fact. David Harrington, of Tippecanoe, was in the city today as a delegate from Tippecanoe township to the Judicial convention to nominate a prosecuting attorney for the list Judicial district. A shot was heard on Laporte street last night about 9 o'clock and just where it came from no one seems to know. Perpaps it was only a small reminder of what will be heard next Monday night. Heavy crops clover and timothy hay are being secured in veiy good condition. Meadows are in very good condition, and in some localities, great crops are being harvested. The cherry crop is abundant; much other tree fruit is falling ofT, but still a fair crop is expected. Berries are ripening and very abundant. This is the time for a general clean up and the city should be put in good sanitary condition for the two sickly months of July and August. There is an ordinance which requires every property owner to cut the weeds and place his property in a condition free from all noxious weeds and substances which breed infectious diseases. It seems that those Cubans know how to store away good Anferican grub. Reports are to the effect that the 'man soldiers who are working in conjunction with the American forces eat like harvest hands and never seem to get enough. One of the things this country intended to do originally wan to feed the starving Cubans. It is now seen that that alone is a big undertaking to say nothing of the fight for the privilege of doing it. Oliver Soice, cashier of the State bank, on Monday last received two live dollar bills on "The Plymouth Bank." They were dated January 1st, 107. The Plymouth bank went "up the flume" iu 1857. These two bills have a

history alonr with thousands of others of the 8niH date. Mr. Soice very )urteouly ret uracil them to the sender ,vith the proper explanations. The Plymouth State bank is one of the soundest in Indiana, but "the Plymouth hank ' has gone the way of all the earth. The mem ben of the order of the Maccabees Id this ci'y are leaving nothing undone to make the coming Fourth of July one long to he remembered by the people of Plymouth and Marshal! county. The parade will excel any thing of the kind ever seen in Ply mouth; the lire works a special feature; and the speakers for the day, who will address the vast throng, are men of national reputation. Tell your friends about it. Write to your friends abroad and invite them to come and celebrate the Fourth in Plymouth. The Peru Republican gives the following very sensible advice to young men who have good homes and fair prospects of a substantial future support before them : "One of the most lamentable things of the times is the disinclination of farmer's sons to stay on the larm. They get the idea into their hearts that life is easier and for tunes more quickly made in town. Nothing is farther from the truth. A hundred business men fail in town to one among farmers, and much of the money sunk in business failures is moneyearneA on the farm by farmers or their sons who move to town, hoping to make a fortune in a few years " John W. Thomas received another letter from his son Frank yesterday. The letter is dated June 7th. Frank was then at Lake Bennett, and he intended to head for the Klondike country the next morning. His boat was completed which is twenty feet long and four and a half feet wide. He has a complete outfit and will make the trip alone. Frank didn't want any partners, preferring to go it alone. He knows the route and has no fear but what he will land all right. The ice has disappeared, and the days are twenty-four hours long. It never gets dark, and it is twilight all the time. Frank is one of the boys that will win in this deal. He is hale and hearty and well fixed and will return to Plymouth some day well laden with the golden nuggets.
