The program as published was fully carried out and was yery tine. The new revenue stamps arrived in Plymouth this morning and will now be found at the banks, express offices and other places in Plymouth. Look out for the revenue. Don't forget to muzzle your dog.

Two women and one man passed through Plymouth this morning on their way to S uth Dakota. They had no money and the clothing they wore scarcely covered their backs. They said they left Paulding, Ohio, two weeks ago, and expect to walk the entire dis tance, 1.000 miles. The saloon-keepers who are protesting because they have to bear the burden of the beer tax are doubtless in a frame of mind to appreciate the justice of an income tax. It is an outrage that wealth should not bear a portion of the burdens of war, and ot peace also, for that matter. The dispatches tell us that the next morning after the Americans gave the Cuban soldiers food, one poor fellow was found dead in a sitting posture leaning against a tree, with what was left of a "side of meat" clasped against his breast. He ate so much of the raw, fat pork that it killed him. Others also died, and many are sick from over-eat ing. They were in the last stage of starvation. On a $100 wager Harry Ueno was buried under six feet of earth at Muncie in the presence of a large crowd of horrified spectators and the youg man is to remain under the ground in a trail wooden box for a period of eight days or 1U2 hours, without food, water or nourishment of any kind, except fresh air. The air will reach the man through a small rubber tube so as not to permit light to strike the prisoner. The much dreaded torpedo boat seems to be a failure. Thus far in the war but one of them has done any ser vice outside of carrying dispatches, and that one, the Winslow, was soon disabled in action. It still remains to be seen if the other new type of destroyer, the dynamite cruiser, is practicable. The Vesuvius at Santiago has ac complished nothing from a lack of ac curacy of aim. She has fired three shots each night for some little time at Morro Castle at the entrance of the harbor, without any perceptable damage.

From Saturday's Dally. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Yost ar in Milwaukee attending the great Carnival. Harry t'orter, of Valparaiso, is in the city, shaking hands with his numerous friends.

Young Horace Corbin hsd a little experience in rough riding up Michigan street this morning. He was prettybadly scared but he was master of the situation. Leslie Downs and wife of Laporte are in the city visiting friends. Leslie is an old I'lymouth boy and his many friends are glad to know that he is prospering in life. The "growler" is doomed as a factor in the liquor trade in this city. The local dealers are about ready to draw the line, owing to the rise in the price of the amber iluid. There was one hot farmer in town today. He thought he had sold two bushels of raspberries but when it came to a 6how down he found that he had made a mistake. W. B. Yost and wife, of Plymouth, arrived in the city yesterday. The former left for Milwaukee today, the latter will visit in this city for a few days. Warsaw Daily Times.

There were hundreds of hungry newspaper readers in Plymouth this morning. The printers strike in Chicago was the cause and not a copy of any Chicago newspaper reached Plymouth today. J.X.Wilson, the agricultural doaier treated his farmer friends to lemonade today. John had it on tap from 7 o'clock this morning until 5 this eve ning. Over forty gallons were drnnk by his thirsty friends. Mr. and Mrs. (Jeorge Hahn left today noon for Port Huron, Mich., where Mr. Hahn has secured a good position in one of the best newspaper otlices in that city.

Somborn will arrive this evening. A sweet little girl up on the hill as she knelt at mothei's knee the other night for evening prayer, gave voice to this: "Now 1 lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If 1 shouiu uie oetore 1 waKe mere n he a hot time in tha old town tonight." Kef. and Mrs. L. S. Smith returned today noon from Marion, where they attended the State conference of the Lpworth league. The meeting was large, over 500 persons from all parts of Indiana being present. The pro gram is elaborate and will be continued over Sunday. Farmers are accused by their high toned city neighbors of eternally com plaining of some imaginary calamity, but it is not 8o this season. There has not been a season since the settling of this portion of Indiana that wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and garden truck looked so promising. ;sor nas there been a broader acreage planted. All this with a number one hay crop causes the far mers to wear broad smiles. It is also very agreeable to all business men as the prosperity of the farmer is the prosperity of the nation. L. A. Kloepfer received a letter this morning from A. P. Maurer, of Phila delphia, givir g a full account of the death of Wilhelm Hauesser, who clerk ed for Mr. Kloepfer for eight years and made his home with him.

Ohio, for interment. His last words were to remember him to Mr. Kloepfer.

The Supreme court yesterday afternoon allirmed the judgment of the lower court in township trustee case, as appealed from Whitley county where the law had been held to be constitutional by a Democratic judge, the Supreme court holding the law of February, ls7, to be constitutional and that the defendants properly refused to hold , an election because the legislature had changed the time of holding the election to 1ÜOU.

Walter William Writes From Camp Thomas. Chickamauga Park. June 30. Dear Father and Mother. Your letter of the 2iUh inst. was received and read with much pleasure. We signed the pay roll today and 1 think we will get pay or a month in advance. We were two nights and d-iys coming down here and I saw a great deal of country. We passed through 27 tunnels between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. We passed over mountains under mountains and around them and saw some line scenery, We are camping on what is known as the Kelley farm. The park contains 100,000 acres of land, 60 you see it is not very small. We keep our things packed all the time for we may be called out any minute. We are not allowed to leave the camp this afternoon, so that means something, but I do not know what it is. We may be here tonight and in the morning be on our way south. 1 have had my uniform now for nearly a week. You may direct your letters here and if I am not here they will follow. This is all now but will write more the next time. So good by. WALTER Williams. Lottie is in .fail. Lottie Fishburn was before Justice Peeves Saturday on a charge of drunkenness and was lined SI and costs amounting to ST2, and in default of which sum, she now languishes in the county bastile. Spain is said to be organizing a dying squadron to watch for the approach of the American warships under Commodore Watson. Spain's best "holt" is or ganizing "living " squadrons. They are better at dying than any hing else, unless it is sinking. Dealers in fireworks are not carrying as lare a slock this year as formerly, owing to the fact that the price has gone up and they do not anticipate as large a trade as usual from the small boy. The demand for powder to "blow up the Spaniards" seems to have lessened the supply for Fourth of July purposes. Men who laugh a great deal are usually very healthy, but it has not been fully determined whether it is the laugh that makes the health or the health that makes the laugh. In any event a good hearty laugh is the best exercise that can possibly be had and it is a habit that should be encouraged by everyone and on appropriate occasions. A very smooth swindler has been working Klkhart, Declaimed to represent a Chicago publishing house and was looking for trustworthy agents to sell sacred publications. A young lady was found who had been highly recommended, and she was induced to become an agent, depositing 81.50 for her outtit, worth about 90 cents. She was told that the outfit would not be received for a week or so. This was to give the swindler time to work the town. The Indiana Cood Citizens' League has undertaken to push its work more vigorously throghout the state and will fight the State Liquor League for the repeal of the Nicholson law. The league proposes to hold for the next few months good citizenship services on Sundays iu different cities, the plans being to have two or more speakers each in a pulpit in the morning, and in another pulpit at night in every county seat in Indiana. This is to be supplemented by work in the smaller towns during the week. Attractive Summer Renort for Real and Keereat ion.

o Chicago Paper. Chicago, July 1. The following bulletin was posted at every Chicago news paper otlice this morning at 10 o'clock. "At 8 o'clock this 1 Friday) evening the Stereotypeis' Union notified the newspaper publishers of Chicago that unless their demands for an increase of wages from 81125 to 4 per day, a reduction of the working day from eight to seven hours, with payment at the rate of 75 cents per hour for all overtime, and other concessions, were at once acceded to they would refuse to work. In consequence of this action the , in common with all other Chicago papers, will not appear Saturday." This action of the newspapers was in pursuance of an understanding recently entered into, including, among other provisions, the following agreement: "In the event of a strike in any of the

departments of one or more ot the Cnicag0 daily newppaper oüiceg tne the mechanical resources of all our offices shall be pooled to the extent and with the purpose that no newspaper shall be published unless and until all the newspapers can be promptly published on the same day." The stereotypes have been averaging from .Sll.50 to $22 per week on six-day evening papers and from ??24 to 627 on seven-day morning papers. It is anticipated that the mllux of stereotypers from all parts of the country will be so immediate and so great that the interruption of publication will continue for but a few days.
