All revenue stamps will be found at the banks. No other parties purchase ttiem. Just take a day oft and visit Pretty lake. It is one of the finest resorts in Indiana. Councilman Dickinson undertook to "kill" the new bridge last night but he got gloriously left. The citizens of South street are greatly elated over the prospect of having that street graveled. The Wesleyan quarterly meeting will occur next Sunday with the opening aermon Saturday night. A long felt want will be filled wheu a new iron bridge is built over Yellow river on Fast Garro street. Clarence Slater, Henry Hall and several other farmers are in Lafayette investigating a new hedge fence. For sale or trade -One solid comfort gang plow, one tornado feed cutter. Address. Victor Welch. Rutland, Ind. Mr. Huffman, the geniel assistant agent at the L. F. ft W. depot got his hand mashed while loading baggage this morning. There is a coal liht on down at liourbon. The light, it is stated, is getting very warm and there is no telling when it will end. All the lodges in the city that elect otlicers twice a year now have a new corps of officers to guide them lor another six months. The business men of our city anticipate a big trade next month, owing to the fact that so little money has been, or will be. spent in Plymouth during this ijontb. The funeral of Mise Pelle Drake took place this alternoon from her late home on Pierce street at 2 o'clock. Key. Tice officiated and preached a line fun eral discourse. A.M. Higgms, of Terre Haute, expresident of the Indiana Republican clubs, will be a candidate for clerk of the supreme court before the Republican state convention. Ed II Corbin was selected by Hyper ion lodge, K. of P., last night, to represent the knights of Plymouth in the grand encampment, which convenes at Indianapolis in August. J. M. Clump, general manager of the Shelby Cycle Co., Shelby, Ohio, was in the city today. He came here for the purpose of buying the Flektron bicycle plant but the sale was not made. It is said that summer card clubs have been a failure this season. A good thing, indeed, as it gives an op portunity for physical recuperation a sort of rest between the rounds. A large seven-mile ditch is being cut through low lands near Argos, by steam dredging, and it is expected that it will reclaim about 2,000 acres of what is now worthless swamp lands. Mr. Adelbert Coffey, of Indianapolis, who with his family are visiting the families of L. U. Capron and George Vinall, leavea tonight for Chicago where he will visit for a short time. After all there was more need of a Schley individual, when Cervera tried to escape from Santiago, than for a Sampson. It was more a question of quick scheming than of ponderous thought. A number of bicycle dealers and manufactures were in the city today expecting that the Flsktron works would be sold. They came for the pur pose of putting in a bid. Gus Wolf, the clothing dealer, has rented the Ilumrichouser storeroom on Michigan street, formerly occupied by Frank McKinney, and will be ready to greet oil his old customers Monday morning. An aged lady got very mad at Attorney L. M. Lauer this morning. She wanted a search warrant issued to uearch a neighbor's house, as she be lieved the party had stolen a pillow slip from her. The humane society sh mid give some signs that it is alive. It might begin operations against the high overhead

check rein, an instrument of torture against which a poor horse struggles in vain. Let it out several holes. The Flektron cycle employes are pretty sore over the fact that the sale

of that plant did not take place today. The boys want their money and they want it bad, but they say now that it will be many moons before they get it. An exchange say6: ''Under the new revenue law every saloon man must put a one-cent stamp on every pint bottle of wine sold and a two-cent 6tamp on every quart bottle sold. Many of them do not seem to understand this." Thirty-three carrier pigeons were released from their ?age this morning by Al Pike, Adams express agent for this city. The birds were shipped here from South Bend. They rose gracefully to en altitude of 200 feet and then headed southeast. A good gun is of little value in war with a poor gunner behind it. An inferior gun with a good man behind it is far more valuable. Hut the Americans have both good guns and good gunners And that accounts for much that has happened during the present war. Camara is emulating the example of that old king who marched his men up the hill and then marched them down again. He sailed his Meet through the Suez canal, then sailed it back again. He is probably coming' back to take his medicine, and have the ordeal over with. The rush for stamps at the '"ternal revenue orlice at Indianapolis still continues. Maj. Glover, the deputy collector, 6ays that he still lacks fifty-cent and one-dollar stamps and half-cent stamps for insurance companies. He received a supply of five-cent proprietary stamps yesterday. The Independent considers it a duty to inform the public taat J. Swindell has parted with his mustache and beard, else they mistake him for hi-s own nephew or some other younger relation. The publisher of this paper owns up that the mttamorphosis is suf liciently perfect to dtiude anybody. Wheat is all cut, hay harvest is on, and oats will be ready the first of next week. Hinder experts were in demand last week, and if you happened to see a man driving at a furious pace, regardless of heat and dust ten to one it was one of these bound to someplace where an irate farmer was tearing up the ground because his binder would not work. Hyperion lodge K. of P. inetal'fd their officers last night, U. C. Schilt acting in the capacity of installing officer. The following Knights were promoted: C. M. Slater, C. C; John Nicholes, V. C; J. D. McCoy, Prelate; Louis N. Allman, M. of W. The lodge is in a healthy and prosperous condition with a membership of one hundred and thirty-one. It has been announced that the express companies have agreed to raise the rates live cents on each package if they are compelled to pay the revenue tax. Should they do this it would simply mean that they would not only compel their patrons to pay the war tax but also four cents above present rates. The report certainly can not be true; but if it is, there will be a greater de mand than ever for legislation to prohibit such corporations from taking advantage of the people. It appears very evident that Spanish pride has at last given place to an mteri val ot common sense ana pain is about to sue for peace. Nobody has any great love for Spain, and yet in her hour of humiliation there are few Americans who would desire our coun try to be harsh in the terms we sxact. Of course, Spanish rule must end n this hemisphere and not a foot of captured territory should be retroceded to Spain, but beyond these points the United States can afford to be generous. It is a proud boast of Americans that our soldiers and seamen are not only brave and daring but that they are also humane and chivalrous. "Don't swear but shoot" 6aid the gallant Col. Wood, of the "rough riders," to his men at Sevilla. "Don't cheer, the poor fellows are dying" cried Capt. Phillips to the sailors of the battleship Texas as the Vizcaya sank under the lire of the American guns at Santiago. The sentiment expressed in these utterances animates the American Army and navy, and nowhere can nobler or better light ing men be found. From 'Wednesday's Dally. Mrs. Anna Grubb has been granted a widow's pension of 8 per month. New wheat is selling for 70 cents per bushel in Plymouth. Leiter prices have gone glimmering. Mrs. Elizabeth Huge left today for Washington, D. C , to attend the funeral of Leonard G. Potsch. Trustee McCrory will move shortly on the farm he recently purchased from Albert Webber, north of the city. The little twelve year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, of West Plymouth, is suffering with St. Vitus dance. Mrs. Charles Turner is seriously ill at the home of Mr. Turner's father. Hemorrhage of the lungs is the ailment. Judging from the way reports are coming in from the pension department Uncle Sam is losing no time in adjusting the claims of the old soldiers.

Quite a number of claims have been allowed in the past ten days to soldiers and soldiers widows in Marshall county. The assault and battery case against Jerry Himes, was postponed today in Justice Reeves court for thirty days on promise of good behavior. The U. 15. quarterly meeting of Lapa, circuit will je held attheW.M. church at Lapaz, July 10th, at 2 p.m. Rev. Sickafoose will preside. Mi!o Little, who was assulted at Mill Creek, Laporte county, is slowly sinking and can not recover. Winship is in custody and will be held to the grand jury. An improved system of water works has been placed in the packing and salting room belonging to Fdwin Mayer in the rear of the Daisy grocery store. Joe Fich did the work. Mrs. John Fulkerson, of Teegarden, has been granted a pension of 68 per month for her four children, and also an allowance ot S12 per month, for ten months to her husband now deceased. The coming races which will take place in August promise to be tho best that waB ever held in the county. Some of the best horses in the country will be here and contest for the big purse. Hay making and threshing keeps the farmers employed. Oats harvest will soon be here, and for about six weeks during the hottest season of the year, the farmer has no time which he can call his own. Schley has telegraphed the war department at Washington that the credit for the destruction of Cerveta's ileet belongs to Sampson, the commander-in-chief of the American ileet. That is very clever of Commodore Schley, but the people k now that he bottled up the Spanish ileet and directed the light when the ileet was destroyed. Joseph Guyett, of Fon du Lac, Wis., was in the city today on business. Mr. Guyette is a traveling man for a boot and shoe house in Chicago. Joe was the writers bunk mate for five years In company II, 18th U. S. regulars. He is one of the whitest men living and said that he would pay the writer's way to Chicago if he would enlist in the U. S. army and try it again. He said he could place both in a good position.

From Thursday's Dally. Receiver Rondurant is now engaged in taking a schedule of the property of the Flektron Cycle company. Elder A. H. Zilmer will preach at the Antioch church, live miles south of Plymouth, on Sunday, July 24, morning and afternoon. Mrs. Charles Turner, of this city, is seriously ill at the home of her father-in-law at Argos. It Is now thought that Mrs. Turner can not recover. If ex-President Cleveland could spare the time from his fishing engage ments Spain might do well to have him appointed as a peace commissioner. The county jail now contains one lone occupant, the wounded burglar. His wound is a fearful one but it is the opinion of Dr. Wilson that the young man will pull through. The Ladies' Aid society of the U. B. church will have an ice cream social in the vacant store room formerly occupied by F. M. Axe, Saturday evening, July 10. Give them a call. It is said that our soldiers have found dummy wooden fffflfl in the abandoned trenches of the Spaniards before Santi ago. This may account for the fact that the enemy fought like wooden men. it is stated that the great McCormick Machine company in Cbicag turns out a complete machine every two minutes, and that they are far behind their orders. The demand, it seems, exceeds the supply. Mrs. Rubbert, one half mile south of the U. B. church on the Michigan road, will act as 6exton for this church for the next six months. Any body desiring the church for funerals will please call at her home. The people of the northern part of Lake county want a vigilance committee to end the depredations of a gang of horse thieves who have been stealing stock and driving it across the state line to be sold in the Chicago market. A Logansport wag sent a box of old shoes, tin cans and other rubbish to the company at Chickamauga. The boys paid the charges thinking the box contained something to eat. They are getting even by sending letters to the joker on which he is paying all the postage. A let-it Lieber, a wealthy Indianapolis brewer, is to lead a movement whereby the German-American people will raise a fund for the purchase of a battleship for the government. This is patriotic, and it is hoped that it will not prove like Mr. Lieber 8 brew, mostly foam. Dennis Walters, who left Plymouth for t le state of Washington about nix months ago, is now doing a big busi nesB in the clothing line in the town of Republic, in that state. Denny has taken a partner in the business and now has the largest store in that city, and the best of all is that he is making money. Sunday night in the coverod walk at Roby an unknown man committed

I wish to announce to the public that I have rented the HUMRICIIOUSER STORE ROOM, formerly occupied by McKinney s Grocery, between Shoemaker's Restaurant and Allman's Clothing Store, and will, commencing Monday, July 18, have a complete stock of Furnishing Goods, Hats, Caps and Shoes at the disposal of all my old customers as well as new ones. I will have a greatly increased stock to select from- in fact I am fully prepared for the increased trade which is sure to come when I get my bargains where the people can see them. Remember that we are ready at our new place Monday, July 18, '98, 7:00 O'clock Sharp.

GUS WOLF, THE RELIABLE CLOTHIER.

suicide by taking carbolic acid. There was no clue to the man's identity other than the names upon the white shirt he wore. One marking was hP, Serr" and another was "Shea." He appeared to be about thirty years of age and was well dressed. The habit of a certain class of young boys calling down farmers because the latter don't happen to wear the regulation "dude" suit, is becoming obnoxious. Jioys will be boys, but it shows bad training at some point of the road for those thoughtless boys. Remember that our farmers are counted among the shrewdest men in the country today. There are a number of physicians in , Indiana today who nave no right to practice medicine according to the law passed by the last legislature. They are making a big kick but the kick will do them no good. Some towns in Indiana are kicking because certain physicians have been licensed to practice and so it goes. Let the littest survive. The Plymouth city band will make an especial effort next Thursday night to give the people of Plymouth one of the finest musical concerts that was ever heard in Plymouth. It will be free to everybody and will take place on the corner of Laporte and Michigan streets. Visitors from the surrounding towns will be present. Please bear the date in mind, Thursday, July 21. Now that the evidence is in it looks as if Sampson had deliberately at tempted to pirate the honor of destroying Cervera's squadron, although he was miles away and did not arrive on the scene 01 action in time to take any part in the conllict. Commodore Schley's llagship, the Brooklyn, did the principal pa;t of the lighting and to that ollicer really belongs the credit of the victory. Gov. Mount is reported as having been displeased with the manner of Lieut Waterman during the muster of the Second battalion of the 101st at Camp Mount, Tuesday evening. The mustering ollicer had a bluff way in ordering the men about him. "Stand back there!' "Get back there!'' "(Jet in your places!" These were a few of the expressions that rankled in the governor because of what he considered the rough way in which they were put. It is reported that the governor was of a mind to call the mustering officer down. He objects, it is stated, to having intelligent Indiana volunteers so treated. On the other hand the governor's office is pleased with the quality of men accepted in the regiment and gives Waterman credit for thoroughness and adherence to the letter.

Am Kuiperor'a Forty-six Portrait aud Posen. With live German warships facing Admiral )ewey's fleet at Manila and the intentions of the German Kaiser still a matter of some doubt, the leading article presented in The Cosmopolitan for July will be read with interest. The forty-six portraits and poses of the Emperor William which illustrate the article are in themselves an extraordin ary exhibit. They might be described as "the Evolution of an Emperor shown by forty-six human documents." I n doubtedly so large a number of portraits were never before gathered together of any royal or imperial person- . age
